Fixes to\nreleased versions have indeed been included in the 'master' branch, but\nthey all appear in the maintenance release.  The main _point_ of using a\nnew feature release like 1.6.6 is to get new _features_, so it is more\nappropriate to say \"it comes with many new features.\"\n\nThanks for all contributors who have worked hard to whip this release into\nshape.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v1.6.6-rc3 are as follows:\n\nBjörn Gustavsson (1):\n      rebase -i: abort cleanly if the editor fails to launch\n\nEric Wong (2):\n      git svn: make empty directory creation gc-aware\n      t9146: use 'svn_cmd' wrapper\n\nJunio C Hamano (1):\n      Git 1.6.6-rc4\n\nStephen Boyd (2):\n      api-strbuf.txt: fix typos and document launch_editor()\n      technical-docs: document hash API\n"}]}
