@@ -169,3 +169,49 @@ Fixes since v2.55
when running tests with the 'GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS=1'
environment variable have been plugged.
(merge 459088ec2e jk/bloom-leak-fixes later to maint).
* The wincred credential helper has been updated to avoid memory
corruption when erasing credentials and to prevent silent
credential loss when storing OAuth tokens, by correcting buffer
allocations and arguments passed to safe-CRT APIs.
(merge f635ab9ab4 js/wincred-fixes later to maint).
* Various code paths that initialize a cryptographic hash context but
bail out or finish without calling 'git_hash_final()' have been taught
to call 'git_hash_discard()' to release allocated resources, fixing
memory leaks when Git is built with non-default backends like
'OpenSSL' or 'libgcrypt'.
(merge 600588d2aa jk/hash-algo-leak-fixes later to maint).
* Various resource leaks, invalid file descriptor closures, and process
handle ownership issues flagged by Coverity have been fixed.
(merge 9184231173 js/coverity-fixes later to maint).
* Dockerized CI jobs running in private GitHub repositories have been
adjusted to use explicit process and file limits, preventing resource
exhaustion errors on private runners.
(merge bad766fbac js/ci-dockerized-pid-limit later to maint).
* Various test scripts have been updated to clean up large temporary
files and repositories, reducing peak disk usage during testing.
Also, expensive tests have been disabled on platforms that lack
sufficient resources (like 32-bit platforms and Windows CI runners),
and the long test suite has been enabled in GitLab CI.
(merge 84248444ad ps/t-fixes-for-git-test-long later to maint).
* The UTF-8 precomposition wrapper on macOS has been updated to use a
flexible array member to represent the name of a directory entry,
preventing fortified libc checks from failing when the name is
reallocated to be larger than 'NAME_MAX' bytes.
(merge 1eb281159f ih/precompose-flex-array later to maint).
* The 'git_hash_*()' wrappers have been updated to be used consistently
across the codebase instead of direct calls to members of 'struct
git_hash_algo', and 'git_hash_discard()' has been made idempotent to
simplify cleanups.
(merge 9e396aa553 jk/git-hash-cleanups later to maint).
* The sideband demultiplexer has been updated to recognize ANSI SGR
escape sequences that use colon-separated subfields (e.g., for
256-color or true-color codes).
(merge 3792b2aea4 mm/sideband-ansi-sgr-colon-fix later to maint).
