+Git v2.14.3 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Fixes since v2.14.2
+-------------------
+
+ * A helper function to read a single whole line into strbuf
+ mistakenly triggered OOM error at EOF under certain conditions,
+ which has been fixed.
+
+ * In addition to "cc: <a@dd.re.ss> # cruft", "cc: a@dd.re.ss # cruft"
+ was taught to "git send-email" as a valid way to tell it that it
+ needs to also send a carbon copy to <a@dd.re.ss> in the trailer
+ section.
+
+ * Fix regression to "gitk --bisect" by a recent update.
+
+ * Unlike "git commit-tree < file", "git commit-tree -F file" did not
+ pass the contents of the file verbatim and instead completed an
+ incomplete line at the end, if exists. The latter has been updated
+ to match the behaviour of the former.
+
+ * "git archive", especially when used with pathspec, stored an empty
+ directory in its output, even though Git itself never does so.
+ This has been fixed.
+
+ * API error-proofing which happens to also squelch warnings from GCC.
+
+ * "git gc" tries to avoid running two instances at the same time by
+ reading and writing pid/host from and to a lock file; it used to
+ use an incorrect fscanf() format when reading, which has been
+ corrected.
+
+ * The test linter has been taught that we do not like "echo -e".
+
+ * Code cmp.std.c nitpick.
+
+ * "git describe --match" learned to take multiple patterns in v2.13
+ series, but the feature ignored the patterns after the first one
+ and did not work at all. This has been fixed.
+
+ * "git cat-file --textconv" started segfaulting recently, which
+ has been corrected.
+
+ * The built-in pattern to detect the "function header" for HTML did
+ not match <H1>..<H6> elements without any attributes, which has
+ been fixed.
+
+ * "git mailinfo" was loose in decoding quoted printable and produced
+ garbage when the two letters after the equal sign are not
+ hexadecimal. This has been fixed.
+
+ * The documentation for '-X<option>' for merges was misleadingly
+ written to suggest that "-s theirs" exists, which is not the case.
+
+ * Spell the name of our system as "Git" in the output from
+ request-pull script.
+
+ * Fixes for a handful memory access issues identified by valgrind.
+
+ * Backports a moral equivalent of 2015 fix to the poll emulation from
+ the upstream gnulib to fix occasional breakages on HPE NonStop.
+
+ * In the "--format=..." option of the "git for-each-ref" command (and
+ its friends, i.e. the listing mode of "git branch/tag"), "%(atom:)"
+ (e.g. "%(refname:)", "%(body:)" used to error out. Instead, treat
+ them as if the colon and an empty string that follows it were not
+ there.
+
+ * Users with "color.ui = always" in their configuration were broken
+ by a recent change that made plumbing commands to pay attention to
+ them as the patch created internally by "git add -p" were colored
+ (heh) and made unusable. This has been fixed.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
