* Our default I/O size (8 MiB) for large files was too large for some

platforms with smaller SSIZE_MAX, leading to read(2)/write(2)
|

failures.

* We did not check the curl library version before using
|

CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH feature that may not exist.

* Using environment variable LANGUAGE and friends on the client side,

HTTP-based transports now send Accept-Language when making requests.

* "git send-email" used to accept a mistaken "y" (or "yes") as an
|
||||
answer to "What encoding do you want to use [UTF-8]? " without
|
||||
questioning. Now it asks for confirmation when the answer looks
|

too short to be a valid encoding name.

* Implementation of "reflog expire" has been restructured to fit the
|

reflogs better with the recently updated ref API.
|

|
||||
* The transport-helper did not give transport options such as
|
||||
verbosity, progress, cloning, etc. to import and export based
|
||||
helpers, like it did for fetch and push based helpers, robbing them
|
||||
the chance to honor the wish of the end-users better.

|
||||
* The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
|
||||
running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it
|
||||
is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as
|
||||
a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good
|
||||
heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
|
||||
check what they really require.

|
||||
|
||||
* The strbuf API was explained between the API documentation and in
|
||||
the header file. Move missing bits to strbuf.h so that programmers
|
||||
can check only one place for all necessary information.
|
||||
|
||||
* The error handling functions and conventions are now documented in
|
||||
the API manual.
|
||||
|
||||
* Optimize attribute look-up, mostly useful in "git grep" on a
|
||||
project that does not use many attributes, by avoiding it when we
|

(should) know that the attributes are not defined in the first
|
||||
place.
