   1Git v2.12.1 Release Notes
   2=========================
   3
   4Fixes since v2.12
   5-----------------
   6
   7 * Reduce authentication round-trip over HTTP when the server supports
   8   just a single authentication method.  This also improves the
   9   behaviour when Git is misconfigured to enable http.emptyAuth
  10   against a server that does not authenticate without a username
  11   (i.e. not using Kerberos etc., which makes http.emptyAuth
  12   pointless).
  13
  14 * Windows port wants to use OpenSSL's implementation of SHA-1
  15   routines, so let them.
  16
  17 * Add 32-bit Linux variant to the set of platforms to be tested with
  18   Travis CI.
  19
  20 * When a redirected http transport gets an error during the
  21   redirected request, we ignored the error we got from the server,
  22   and ended up giving a not-so-useful error message.
  23
  24 * The patch subcommand of "git add -i" was meant to have paths
  25   selection prompt just like other subcommand, unlike "git add -p"
  26   directly jumps to hunk selection.  Recently, this was broken and
  27   "add -i" lost the paths selection dialog, but it now has been
  28   fixed.
  29
  30 * Git v2.12 was shipped with an embarrassing breakage where various
  31   operations that verify paths given from the user stopped dying when
  32   seeing an issue, and instead later triggering segfault.
  33
  34 * The code to parse "git log -L..." command line was buggy when there
  35   are many ranges specified with -L; overrun of the allocated buffer
  36   has been fixed.
  37
  38 * The command-line parsing of "git log -L" copied internal data
  39   structures using incorrect size on ILP32 systems.

  41Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
