Beyond announcing Git v2.2.2 on Monday with various bug-fixes, Junio Hamano announced the release of Git 2.3.0-rc0 as a preview release towards Git 2.3.

Junio noted that due to the holidays the Git 2.3 cycle was relatively small with just seeing about 200 changes compared to around 500 changes for a normal cycle. However, there's still plenty of updates, performance optimizations, and fixes.

Git 2.3 is set to bring various email improvements for sending out patches with a new transfer encoding option for git send-email, new arguments being supported for git imap-send, and Git's imap-send now supporting communication with IMAP servers via the cURL library. The other changes range from various Git sub-commands supporting new arguments to cleaning up some warnings to adding in other minor new functionality.

The lengthy list of all the changes queued up for Git 2.3.0-rc0 over Git 2.2 can be found via the mailing list announcement.
