| 1 | +Git v2.3.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | +======================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Fixes since v2.3.1 |
| 5 | +------------------ |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + * "update-index --refresh" used to leak when an entry cannot be |
| 8 | + refreshed for whatever reason. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | + * "git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and |
| 11 | + conclude the resulting packfile cleanly. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + * "git blame" died, trying to free an uninitialized piece of memory. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | + * "git merge-file" did not work correctly in a subdirectory. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | + * "git submodule add" failed to squash "path/to/././submodule" to |
| 18 | + "path/to/submodule". |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + * In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that |
| 21 | + borrows from an alternate object store. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + * Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from |
| 24 | + "curl-config --vernum", which confused our build system. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + * An earlier workaround to squelch unhelpful deprecation warnings |
| 27 | + from the complier on Mac OSX unnecessarily set minimum required |
| 28 | + version of the OS, which the user might want to raise (or lower) |
| 29 | + for other reasons. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + * Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to |
| 32 | + the documentation. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + * The credential helper for Windows (in contrib/) used to mishandle |
| 35 | + a user name with an at-sign in it. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + * Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring |
| 38 | + material we prepare for the tests to use. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + * Clarify in the documentation that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and |
| 41 | + "remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed |
| 42 | + via different transports, not two separate repositories. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + * The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + * Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone |
| 47 | + CR, use to confuse the configuration parser. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + * We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in |
| 50 | + "uintmax_t" correctly. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + * "git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when |
| 53 | + the other side did not support the capability. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + * "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list" |
| 56 | + command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + * The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor |
| 59 | + core.abbrev settings. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + * The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after |
| 62 | + running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it |
| 63 | + is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as |
| 64 | + a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good |
| 65 | + heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to |
| 66 | + check what they really require. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. |
