4 Backward compatibility notes
5 ----------------------------
7 * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
8 if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
9 implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.
11 You can disable the diff output with "git log -m --no-patch", but
12 then there probably isn't much point in passing "-m" in the first
16 Updates since Git 2.32
17 ----------------------
19 UI, Workflows & Features
21 * "git send-email" learned the "--sendmail-cmd" command line option
22 and the "sendemail.sendmailCmd" configuration variable, which is a
23 more sensible approach than the current way of repurposing the
24 "smtp-server" that is meant to name the server to instead name the
25 command to talk to the server.
27 * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
28 if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
29 implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.
32 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
34 * The code to handle the "--format" option in "for-each-ref" and
35 friends made too many string comparisons on %(atom)s used in the
36 format string, which has been corrected by converting them into
37 enum when the format string is parsed.
39 * Use the hashfile API in the codepath that writes the index file to
40 reduce code duplication.
42 * Repeated rename detections in a sequence of mergy operations have
49 * We historically rejected a very short string as an author name
50 while accepting a patch e-mail, which has been loosened.
51 (merge 72ee47ceeb ef/mailinfo-short-name later to maint).
53 * The parallel checkout codepath did not initialize object ID field
54 used to talk to the worker processes in a futureproof way.
56 * Rewrite code that triggers undefined behaviour warning.
57 (merge aafa5df0df jn/size-t-casted-to-off-t-fix later to maint).
59 * The description of "fast-forward" in the glossary has been updated.
60 (merge e22f2daed0 ry/clarify-fast-forward-in-glossary later to maint).
62 * Recent "git clone" left a temporary directory behind when the
63 transport layer returned an failure.
64 (merge 6aacb7d861 jk/clone-clean-upon-transport-error later to maint).
66 * "git fetch" over protocol v2 left its side of the socket open after
67 it finished speaking, which unnecessarily wasted the resource on
69 (merge ae1a7eefff jk/fetch-pack-v2-half-close-early later to maint).
71 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
