Let's try to publish this edition around the end of July 2025!
Thanks!
In #775, @AdityaGarg8 suggested:
We could talk about the recent development in send-email which added support for OAuth2 authentication.
(Assuming I understood what this rev is meant for correctly. Otherwise feel free to ignore it ;) )It all started with a 2 years old patch which was not reviewed, and I resubmitted it. I additionally added support for Microsoft Outlook message ID threading. This lead to a crazy ride where I worked with the maintainer of perl Authen::SASL to add support for OAuth2.0, rather than send email, added support for Outlook in send email and finally made some nice credential helpers for these new methods for send email.
I think outlook users like me who were struggling a lot with send email will benefit from this development.
This edition could be a bit special as it was in July 2005, so 20 years ago that Junio became the Git maintainer. Not sure what we could do to celebrate that. Ideas welcome!
@jnareb, on the Slack channel at GitLab where there are all the GSoC 2025 contributors and mentors, the https://deepwiki.com/git/git site was discussed. I already added it to the Hacking-Git page via 976f50c but @To1ne suggested talking about it in Git Rev News. Not sure if it's better to talk about the whole website (https://deepwiki.com/) or just its results on the Git repo or both.
Hi, first of all thanks for Git Rev News! I just discovered it a few months ago and really like it.
I'd like to suggest to note that a new stable version of Sublime Merge has been released: https://www.sublimemerge.com/download
@themilkman, thanks! I will add a Sublime Merge entry to the "Releases" section.
@themilkman Sublime Merge entry was added in f1ee0b4, and support for it in the scripts was added in chriscool/getreleases@1a2776c and chriscool/getreleases@6706768.
@AdityaGarg8, this edition includes a summary of the discussions related to https://lore.kernel.org/git/PN0PR01MB95880D1DC65D0356F93B0C55B8852@PN0PR01MB9588.INDPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM/T/#u. Feedback or even better PRs welcome!
Minor nit: I use they/them pronouns, so this sentence:
He raised concerns about hardcoding only two Outlook server hostnames, and suggested adding configuration options for Message-ID generation modes.
should read like this:
They raised concerns about hardcoding only two Outlook server hostnames, and suggested adding configuration options for Message-ID generation modes.
Otherwise, everything looked good to me. Thanks for writing this up, as always.
I'm running a bit late with the interview. I'll make sure to integrate it within end of today.

Discussion about the send email patches looks great! Never expected them to come here :).
