Git 2.51.1 Release Notes
2
+
========================
3
+
4
+
There shouldn't be anything exciting to see here. This is primarily
5
+
to flush the "do you still use it?" improvements that has landed on
6
+
the master front, together with a handful of low-hanging low-impact
7
+
fixes that should be safe.

Fixes since Git 2.51.0
11
+
----------------------
12
+
13
+
* The "do you still use it?" message given by a command that is
14
+
deeply deprecated and allow us to suggest alternatives has been
15
+
updated.
16
+
17
+
* The compatObjectFormat extension is used to hide an incomplete
18
+
feature that is not yet usable for any purpose other than
19
+
developing the feature further. Document it as such to discourage
20
+
its use by mere mortals.
21
+
22
+
* Manual page for "gitk" is updated with the current maintainer's
23
+
name.
24
+
25
+
* Update the instruction to use of GGG in the MyFirstContribution
26
+
document to say that a GitHub PR could be made against `git/git`
27
+
instead of `gitgitgadget/git`.
28
+
29
+
* Clang-format update to let our control macros formatted the way we
30
+
had them traditionally, e.g., "for_each_string_list_item()" without
31
+
space before the parentheses.
32
+
33
+
* A few places where an size_t value was cast to curl_off_t without
34
+
checking has been updated to use the existing helper function.
35
+
36
+
* The start_delayed_progress() function in the progress eye-candy API
37
+
did not clear its internal state, making an initial delay value
38
+
larger than 1 second ineffective, which has been corrected.
39
+
40
+
* Makefile tried to run multiple "cargo build" which would not work
41
+
very well; serialize their execution to work it around.
42
+
43
+
* Adjust to the way newer versions of cURL selectivel enables tracing
44
+
options, so that our tests can continue to work.
