I would very much prefer news outlets like kernelpodcast.org and lwn.ne= t _not_ to say "... is released; it comes with many _fixes_". Fixes to released versions have indeed been included in the 'master' branch, but they all appear in the maintenance release. The main _point_ of using = a new feature release like 1.6.6 is to get new _features_, so it is more appropriate to say "it comes with many new features." Thanks for all contributors who have worked hard to whip this release i= nto shape. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.6-rc3 are as follows: Bj=C3=B6rn Gustavsson (1): rebase -i: abort cleanly if the editor fails to launch Eric Wong (2): git svn: make empty directory creation gc-aware t9146: use 'svn_cmd' wrapper Junio C Hamano (1): Git 1.6.6-rc4 Stephen Boyd (2): api-strbuf.txt: fix typos and document launch_editor() technical-docs: document hash API
