| 1 | Git v2.10.3 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v2.10.2 |
| 5 | ------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * Extract a small helper out of the function that reads the authors |
| 8 | script file "git am" internally uses. |
| 9 | This by itself is not useful until a second caller appears in the |
| 10 | future for "rebase -i" helper. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to |
| 13 | complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of |
| 14 | reference to "git cmd ^master". |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * "git send-email" attempts to pick up valid e-mails from the |
| 17 | trailers, but people in real world write non-addresses there, like |
| 18 | "Cc: Stable <add@re.ss> # 4.8+", which broke the output depending |
| 19 | on the availability and vintage of Mail::Address perl module. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * The code that we have used for the past 10+ years to cycle |
| 22 | 4-element ring buffers turns out to be not quite portable in |
| 23 | theoretical world. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * "git daemon" used fixed-length buffers to turn URL to the |
| 26 | repository the client asked for into the server side directory |
| 27 | path, using snprintf() to avoid overflowing these buffers, but |
| 28 | allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory. This has been |
| 29 | tightened to reject such a request that causes overlong path to be |
| 30 | required to serve. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * Recent update to git-sh-setup (a library of shell functions that |
| 33 | are used by our in-tree scripted Porcelain commands) included |
| 34 | another shell library git-sh-i18n without specifying where it is, |
| 35 | relying on the $PATH. This has been fixed to be more explicit by |
| 36 | prefixing $(git --exec-path) output in front. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * Fix for a racy false-positive test failure. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * Portability update and workaround for builds on recent Mac OS X. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | * Update to the test framework made in 2.9 timeframe broke running |
| 43 | the tests under valgrind, which has been fixed. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * Improve the rule to convert "unsigned char [20]" into "struct |
| 46 | object_id *" in contrib/coccinelle/ |
| 47 | |
| 48 | * "git-shell" rejects a request to serve a repository whose name |
| 49 | begins with a dash, which makes it no longer possible to get it |
| 50 | confused into spawning service programs like "git-upload-pack" with |
| 51 | an option like "--help", which in turn would spawn an interactive |
| 52 | pager, instead of working with the repository user asked to access |
| 53 | (i.e. the one whose name is "--help"). |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
