  * Git is updated to version 2.45.2
  * Perl is updated to version 5.41.2
  * Curl is updated to version 8.9.0
  * Less is updated version 661
  
  This update addresses issues with Git when cloning on sysplex
  paths with PARMLIB symbols, such as /$$SYSNAME. It also resolves
  an error that occurred when invoking the git command git config
  --system --list.
  Additionally, the update modifies the .env and .altenv files to
  include application-specific environment variables. As a result,
  Git will now unset the environment variables GIT_EXEC_PATH and
  GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR, which may have been set by third-party
  releases of Git.
  Furthermore, this update includes a fix for Git difftool when
  IBM-1047 tagged files were modified in the work tree, resulting
  in garbled output. Lastly, an issue in Less has been fixed where
  searching for tokens across large files would take excessively
  long.
  

Problem conclusion

• IBM is releasing a cumulative update to the IBM Open Enterprise
  Foundation for z/OS 1.1
