The tarballs are NOT YET found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ but hopefully will be in a few days (I am having trouble reaching there). The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.12.1' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at: url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core url = https://github.com/gitster/git ---------------------------------------------------------------- Git v2.12.1 Release Notes ========================= Fixes since v2.12 ----------------- * Reduce authentication round-trip over HTTP when the server supports just a single authentication method. This also improves the behaviour when Git is misconfigured to enable http.emptyAuth against a server that does not authenticate without a username (i.e. not using Kerberos etc., which makes http.emptyAuth pointless). * Windows port wants to use OpenSSL's implementation of SHA-1 routines, so let them. * Add 32-bit Linux variant to the set of platforms to be tested with Travis CI. * When a redirected http transport gets an error during the redirected request, we ignored the error we got from the server, and ended up giving a not-so-useful error message. * The patch subcommand of "git add -i" was meant to have paths selection prompt just like other subcommand, unlike "git add -p" directly jumps to hunk selection. Recently, this was broken and "add -i" lost the paths selection dialog, but it now has been fixed. * Git v2.12 was shipped with an embarrassing breakage where various operations that verify paths given from the user stopped dying when seeing an issue, and instead later triggering segfault. * The code to parse "git log -L..." command line was buggy when there are many ranges specified with -L; overrun of the allocated buffer has been fixed. * The command-line parsing of "git log -L" copied internal data structures using incorrect size on ILP32 systems. Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v2.12.0 are as follows: Allan Xavier (1): line-log.c: prevent crash during union of too many ranges Jeff Hostetler (1): mingw: use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines Jeff King (3): http: restrict auth methods to what the server advertises http: add an "auto" mode for http.emptyauth add--interactive: fix missing file prompt for patch mode with "-i" Johannes Schindelin (3): Travis: also test on 32-bit Linux t1501: demonstrate NULL pointer access with invalid GIT_WORK_TREE real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on error Jonathan Tan (1): http: attempt updating base URL only if no error Junio C Hamano (2): Preparing for 2.12.1 Git 2.12.1 Maxim Moseychuk (2): stop_progress_msg: convert xsnprintf to xstrfmt bisect_next_all: convert xsnprintf to xstrfmt Vegard Nossum (1): line-log: use COPY_ARRAY to fix mis-sized memcpy
