  * The support for format-patch (and send-email) by the command-line
    completion script (in contrib/) has been simplified a bit.
 
+ * The revision walker machinery learned to take advantage of the
+   commit generation numbers stored in the commit-graph file.
+
+ * The codebase has been cleaned up to reduce "#ifndef NO_PTHREADS".
+
+ * The way -lcurl library gets linked has been simplified by taking
+   advantage of the fact that we can just ask curl-config command how.
+
+ * Various functions have been audited for "-Wunused-parameter" warnings
+   and bugs in them got fixed.
+
+ * A sanity check for start-up sequence has been added in the config

+
+ * The build procedure to link for fuzzing test has been made
+   customizable with a new Makefile variable.

+ * The way "git rebase" parses and forwards the command line options
+   meant for underlying "git am" has been revamped, which fixed for
+   options with parameters that were not passed correctly.
