| 1 | +Git 2.25 Release Notes |
| 2 | +====================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Updates since v2.24 |
| 5 | +------------------- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Backward compatibility notes |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +UI, Workflows & Features |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + * A tutorial on object enumeration has been added. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + * The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been |
| 15 | + used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch |
| 16 | + command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be |
| 17 | + filled. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | + * "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this |
| 20 | + release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + * The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to |
| 23 | + show) progress indicators. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + * "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle |
| 26 | + configuration variable, like merges would. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + * The custom format for "git log --format=<format>" learned the l/L |
| 29 | + placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail |
| 30 | + address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + * Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + * Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal |
| 38 | + literal to (1U<<count) notation. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + * Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Fixes since v2.24 |
| 44 | +----------------- |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + * "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier |
| 47 | + update, which has been corrected. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + * "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the |
| 50 | + original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line |
| 51 | + parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + * When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root |
| 54 | + directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that |
| 55 | + as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has |
| 56 | + been corrected. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + * Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local |
| 59 | + and repository global refs apart. |
| 60 | + (merge f45f88b2e4 sg/dir-trie-fixes later to maint). |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | + * "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out |
| 63 | + mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest. |
| 64 | + (merge 4a58c3d7f7 js/update-index-ignore-removal-for-skip-worktree later to maint). |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | + * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| 67 | + (merge 80736d7c5e jc/am-show-current-patch-docfix later to maint). |
| 68 | + (merge 8b656572ca sg/commit-graph-usage-fix later to maint). |
