[ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.2.4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The latest maintenance release GIT 1.4.2.4 is available at the
usual places:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

  git-1.4.2.4.tar.{gz,bz2}			(tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.4.2.4.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.4.2.4.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.4.2.4-1.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

We are close to 1.4.3, so this update coulc become moot very
soon, but just in case we have to delay it, I am pushing this
out for a rather important performance fix.  Without it, "git
diff" on 64-bit machines can run 100x times slower than it
should be on unfortunate input.

Many thanks go to Jim Mayering for giving an easy to reproduce
initial problem report, and Linus and Davide Libenzi to quickly
come up with a fix.

Unfortunately I do not have access to any RPM capable machine
other than an x86-64 right now hence there is no RPM for x86-32
for this release yet (but 32-bit machines do not need this fix
to begin with, so it's Ok).

----------------------------------------------------------------

There is only one change since v1.4.2.3.

Linus Torvalds:
      Fix hash function in xdiff library
