- * core.eol configuration and eol attribute are the new way to control
-   the end of line conventions for files in the working tree;
-   core.autocrlf overrides it, keeping the traditional behaviour by

+ * core.eol configuration and text/eol attributes are the new way to control
+   the end of line conventions for files in the working tree.

+ * core.autocrlf has been made safer - it will now only handle line
+   endings for new files and files that are LF-only in the
+   repository. To normalize content that has been checked in with
+   CRLF, use the new eol/text attributes.

  * The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"
    gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with
    policy to indent only with spaces.
