To let people who only follow the 'maint' releases know what's happening in the larger picture... We have just started talking about the next feature release v1.5.0 on the 'master' branch side. If we are lucky we could do a -rc1 around Christmas, emperor's birthday in Japan, or perhaps emperor's birthday in the Penguin land, but in any case the real release is not expected to happen by mid January. The new release will have many end-user level changes since the last feature release v1.4.4, both at the UI level and at the documentation level, based on previous discussions on the list. It is strongly encouraged and very much appreciated to review and to fill gaps you would find in today's 'master' and what's cooking in 'next', if you were involved in the discussions and/or if you are interested in the theme of v1.5.0: "usability and teachability". Thanks. -jc. ---------------------------------------------------------------- * The 'maint' branch is at v1.4.4.3 and has these fixes since v1.4.4.2: Alex Riesen (1): Clarify fetch error for missing objects. Brian Gernhardt (1): Move Fink and Ports check to after config file Chris Wright (1): no need to install manpages as executable Eric Wong (2): git-svn: exit with status 1 for test failures git-svn: correctly display fatal() error messages Jim Meyering (1): Don't use memcpy when source and dest. buffers may overlap Junio C Hamano (1): GIT 1.4.4.3 Martin Langhoff (1): cvsserver: Avoid miscounting bytes in Perl v5.8.x Shawn Pearce (2): Make sure the empty tree exists when needed in merge-recursive. Bypass expensive content comparsion during rename detection. * The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement. They are NOT in 1.4.4.3. Aneesh Kumar K.V (1): Add config example with respect to branch Brian Gernhardt (2): Add documentation for show-branch --topics Remove COLLISION_CHECK from Makefile since it's not used. Eric Wong (1): git-cvsserver: fix breakage when calling git merge-file Jeff King (1): vim syntax: follow recent changes to commit template Junio C Hamano (8): parse-remote::expand_refs_wildcard() show-ref: fix --exclude-existing racy-git: documentation updates. rerere: fix breakage of resolving. fix populate-filespec config_rename_section: fix FILE* leak simplify inclusion of system header files. GIT 1.4.4.3 Nicolas Pitre (4): make patch_delta() error cases a bit more verbose make git a bit less cryptic on fetch errors index-pack usage of mmap() is unacceptably slower on many OSes other than Linux clarify some error messages wrt unknown object types Robert Fitzsimons (1): gitweb: Show '...' links in "summary" view only if there are more items
