| 1 | Git v1.8.3.3 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.8.3.2 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * "git apply" parsed patches that add new files, generated by programs |
| 8 | other than Git, incorrectly. This is an old breakage in v1.7.11. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * Older cURL wanted piece of memory we call it with to be stable, but |
| 11 | we updated the auth material after handing it to a call. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * "git pull" into nothing trashed "local changes" that were in the |
| 14 | index. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * Many "git submodule" operations did not work on a submodule at a |
| 17 | path whose name is not in ASCII. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * "cherry-pick" had a small leak in its error codepath. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * Logic used by git-send-email to suppress cc mishandled names like |
| 22 | "A U. Thor" <author@example.xz>, where the human readable part |
| 23 | needs to be quoted (the user input may not have the double quotes |
| 24 | around the name, and comparison was done between quoted and |
| 25 | unquoted strings). It also mishandled names that need RFC2047 |
| 26 | quoting. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * "gitweb" forgot to clear a global variable $search_regexp upon each |
| 29 | request, mistakenly carrying over the previous search to a new one |
| 30 | when used as a persistent CGI. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * The wildmatch engine did not honor WM_CASEFOLD option correctly. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * "git log -c --follow $path" segfaulted upon hitting the commit that |
| 35 | renamed the $path being followed. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * When a reflog notation is used for implicit "current branch", |
| 38 | e.g. "git log @{u}", we did not say which branch and worse said |
| 39 | "branch ''" in the error messages. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | * Mac OS X does not like to write(2) more than INT_MAX number of |
| 42 | bytes; work it around by chopping write(2) into smaller pieces. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | * Newer MacOS X encourages the programs to compile and link with |
| 45 | their CommonCrypto, not with OpenSSL. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Also contains various minor documentation updates. |
