> Git 2.14 Release Notes
> ======================
>
> Backward compatibility notes and other notable changes.
>
> * Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
> 'everything matches' is still warned and Git asks users to use a
> more explicit '.' for that instead. The hope is that existing
> users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be
> turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of
> this (mis)feature. That is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming
> release (yet).
>
> * Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup
> sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository. A corner case that
> happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG").
> We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there
> might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are
> greatly appreciated.
>
> * The experiment to improve the hunk-boundary selection of textual
> diff output has finished, and the "indent heuristics" has now
> become the default.
>
> * Git can now be built with PCRE v2 instead of v1 of the PCRE
> library. Replace USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease with USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease
> in existing build scripts to build against the new version. As the
> upstream PCRE maintainer has abandoned v1 maintenance for all but
> the most critical bug fixes, use of v2 is recommended.
