1 +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.
8 +
9 +
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.
