1 +Git v2.44 Release Notes
2 +=======================
3 +
4 +UI, Workflows & Features
5 +
6 + * "git add" and "git stash" learned to support the ":(attr:...)"
7 + magic pathspec.
8 +
9 + * "git rebase --autosquash" is now enabled for non-interactive rebase,
10 + but it is still incompatible with the apply backend.
11 +
12 +
13 +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
14 +
15 + * Process to add some form of low-level unit tests has started.
16 +
17 + * Add support for GitLab CI.
18 +
19 + * "git for-each-ref --no-sort" still sorted the refs alphabetically
20 + which paid non-trivial cost. It has been redefined to show output
21 + in an unspecified order, to allow certain optimizations to take
22 + advantage of.
23 +
24 +
25 +Fixes since v2.43
26 +-----------------
27 +
28 + * The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test
29 + suite twice needlessly, which has been corrected.
30 + (merge e7e03ef995 js/ci-discard-prove-state later to maint).
31 +
32 + * Update ref-related tests.
33 +
34 + * "git format-patch --encode-email-headers" ignored the option when
35 + preparing the cover letter, which has been corrected.
36 +
37 + * Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our
38 + (ab)use of it in "git send-email". Bump the minimum version
39 + requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow
40 + simplifying our implementation.
41 + (merge 6ff658cc78 tz/send-email-negatable-options later to maint).
42 +
43 + * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
