1Git v2.9.1 Release Notes 2======================== 3 4Fixes since v2.9 5---------------- 6 7 * When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a 8 connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around 9 for a long time, wasting resources. The socket-level KEEPALIVE has 10 been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections. 11 12 * The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format 13 string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring 14 --no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to 15 a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as 16 "auto". 17 18 * "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n" 19 option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the 20 bitmap index. 21 22 * "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited 23 by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire 24 file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file, 25 which has been fixed. 26 27 28Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
