| 1 | +Git v2.39.3 Release Notes |
| 2 | +========================= |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +This release is primarily to merge fixes accumulated on the 'master' |
| 5 | +front to prepare for 2.40 release that are still relevant to 2.39.x |
| 6 | +maintenance track. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Fixes since v2.39.2 |
| 9 | +------------------- |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + * Stop running win+VS build by default. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + * CI updates. We probably want a clean-up to move the long shell |
| 14 | + script embedded in yaml file into a separate file, but that can |
| 15 | + come later. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | + * Avoid unnecessary builds in CI, with settings configured in |
| 18 | + ci-config. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + * Redefining system functions for a few functions did not follow our |
| 21 | + usual "implement git_foo() and #define foo(args) git_foo(args)" |
| 22 | + pattern, which has broken build for some folks. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + * Deal with a few deprecation warning from cURL library. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + * Newer regex library macOS stopped enabling GNU-like enhanced BRE, |
| 27 | + where '\(A\|B\)' works as alternation, unless explicitly asked with |
| 28 | + the REG_ENHANCED flag. "git grep" now can be compiled to do so, to |
| 29 | + retain the old behaviour. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + * When given a pattern that matches an empty string at the end of a |
| 32 | + line, the code to parse the "git diff" line-ranges fell into an |
| 33 | + infinite loop, which has been corrected. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + * Fix the sequence to fsync $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file that forgot to |
| 36 | + flush its output to the disk.. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + * "git diff --relative" did not mix well with "git diff --ext-diff", |
| 39 | + which has been corrected. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + * The logic to see if we are using the "cone" mode by checking the |
| 42 | + sparsity patterns has been tightened to avoid mistaking a pattern |
| 43 | + that names a single file as specifying a cone. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + * Doc update for environment variables set when hooks are invoked. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + * Document ORIG_HEAD a bit more. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + * "git ls-tree --format='%(path) %(path)' $tree $path" showed the |
| 50 | + path three times, which has been corrected. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + * Document that "branch -f <branch>" disables only the safety to |
| 53 | + avoid recreating an existing branch. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + * Clarify how "checkout -b/-B" and "git branch [-f]" are similar but |
| 56 | + different in the documentation. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
