41 * "interpret-trailers" has been taught to optionally update a file in

44 + * Many commands that read files that are expected to contain text
45 + that is generated (or can be edited) by the end user to control
46 + their behaviour (e.g. "git grep -f <filename>") have been updated
47 + to be more tolerant to lines that are terminated with CRLF (they
48 + used to treat such a line to contain payload that ends with CR,
49 + which is usually not what the users expect).
50 +
51 + * "git notes merge" used to limit the source of the merged notes tree
52 + to somewhere under refs/notes/ hierarchy, which was too limiting
53 + when inventing a workflow to exchange notes with remote
54 + repositories using remote-tracking notes trees (located in e.g.
55 + refs/remote-notes/ or somesuch).
56 +
57 + * "git ls-files" learned a new "--eol" option to help diagnose
58 + end-of-line problems.
59 +
60 + * "ls-remote" learned an option to show which branch the remote
61 + repository advertises as its primary by pointing its HEAD at.
62 +
63 + * New http.proxyAuthMethod configuration variable can be used to
64 + specify what authentication method to use, as a way to work around
65 + proxies that do not give error response expected by libcurl when
66 + CURLAUTH_ANY is used. Also, the codepath for proxy authentication
67 + has been taught to use credential API to store the authentication
68 + material in user's keyrings.
