1Git v2.10.3 Release Notes 2========================= 3 4Fixes since v2.10.2 5------------------- 6 7 * Extract a small helper out of the function that reads the authors 8 script file "git am" internally uses. 9 This by itself is not useful until a second caller appears in the 10 future for "rebase -i" helper. 11 12 * The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to 13 complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of 14 reference to "git cmd ^master". 15 16 * "git send-email" attempts to pick up valid e-mails from the 17 trailers, but people in real world write non-addresses there, like 18 "Cc: Stable <add@re.ss> # 4.8+", which broke the output depending 19 on the availability and vintage of Mail::Address perl module. 20 21 * The code that we have used for the past 10+ years to cycle 22 4-element ring buffers turns out to be not quite portable in 23 theoretical world. 24 25 * "git daemon" used fixed-length buffers to turn URL to the 26 repository the client asked for into the server side directory 27 path, using snprintf() to avoid overflowing these buffers, but 28 allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory. This has been 29 tightened to reject such a request that causes overlong path to be 30 required to serve. 31 32 * Recent update to git-sh-setup (a library of shell functions that 33 are used by our in-tree scripted Porcelain commands) included 34 another shell library git-sh-i18n without specifying where it is, 35 relying on the $PATH. This has been fixed to be more explicit by 36 prefixing $(git --exec-path) output in front. 37 38 * Fix for a racy false-positive test failure. 39 40 * Portability update and workaround for builds on recent Mac OS X. 41 42 * Update to the test framework made in 2.9 timeframe broke running 43 the tests under valgrind, which has been fixed. 44 45 * Improve the rule to convert "unsigned char [20]" into "struct 46 object_id *" in contrib/coccinelle/ 47 48 * "git-shell" rejects a request to serve a repository whose name 49 begins with a dash, which makes it no longer possible to get it 50 confused into spawning service programs like "git-upload-pack" with 51 an option like "--help", which in turn would spawn an interactive 52 pager, instead of working with the repository user asked to access 53 (i.e. the one whose name is "--help"). 54 55Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
