+Git 2.51.1 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+There shouldn't be anything exciting to see here. This is primarily
5
+to flush the "do you still use it?" improvements that has landed on
6
+the master front, together with a handful of low-hanging low-impact
7
+fixes that should be safe.

10
+Fixes since Git 2.51.0
11
+----------------------
12
+
13
+ * The "do you still use it?" message given by a command that is
14
+ deeply deprecated and allow us to suggest alternatives has been
15
+ updated.
16
+
17
+ * The compatObjectFormat extension is used to hide an incomplete
18
+ feature that is not yet usable for any purpose other than
19
+ developing the feature further. Document it as such to discourage
20
+ its use by mere mortals.
21
+
22
+ * Manual page for "gitk" is updated with the current maintainer's
23
+ name.
24
+
25
+ * Update the instruction to use of GGG in the MyFirstContribution
26
+ document to say that a GitHub PR could be made against `git/git`
27
+ instead of `gitgitgadget/git`.
28
+
29
+ * Clang-format update to let our control macros formatted the way we
30
+ had them traditionally, e.g., "for_each_string_list_item()" without
31
+ space before the parentheses.
32
+
33
+ * A few places where an size_t value was cast to curl_off_t without
34
+ checking has been updated to use the existing helper function.
35
+
36
+ * The start_delayed_progress() function in the progress eye-candy API
37
+ did not clear its internal state, making an initial delay value
38
+ larger than 1 second ineffective, which has been corrected.
39
+
40
+ * Makefile tried to run multiple "cargo build" which would not work
41
+ very well; serialize their execution to work it around.
42
+
43
+ * Adjust to the way newer versions of cURL selectivel enables tracing
44
+ options, so that our tests can continue to work.
45
+
46
+Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
