CHANGELOG.md

   1 v0.21 + 1
   2 ------
   3
   4 * File unlocks are atomic again via rename. Read-only files on Windows are
   5   made read-write if necessary.
   6
   7 * Share open packfiles across repositories to share descriptors and mmaps.
   8
   9 * Use a map for the treebuilder, making insertion O(1)
  10
  11 * LF -> CRLF filter refuses to handle mixed-EOL files
  12
  13 * LF -> CRLF filter now runs when * text = auto (with Git for Windows 1.9.4)
  14
  15 * The git_transport structure definition has moved into the sys/transport.h
  16   file.
  17
  18 * The ssh transport supports asking the remote host for accepted
  19   credential types as well as multiple challeges using a single
  20   connection. This requires to know which username you want to connect
  21   as, so this introduces the USERNAME credential type which the ssh
  22   transport will use to ask for the username.
  23
  24 * The git_transport_register function no longer takes a priority and takes
  25   a URL scheme name (eg "http") instead of a prefix like "http://"
  26
  27 * The git_remote_set_transport function now sets a transport factory function,
  28   rather than a pre-existing transport instance.
  29
  30 * A factory function for ssh has been added which allows to change the
  31   path of the programs to execute for receive-pack and upload-pack on
  32   the server, git_transport_ssh_with_paths.
  33
  34 * The git_clone_options struct no longer provides the ignore_cert_errors or
  35   remote_name members for remote customization.
  36
  37   Instead, the git_clone_options struct has two new members, remote_cb and
  38   remote_cb_payload, which allow the caller to completely override the remote
  39   creation process. If needed, the caller can use this callback to give their
  40   remote a name other than the default (origin) or disable cert checking.
  41
  42   The remote_callbacks member has been preserved for convenience, although it
  43   is not used when a remote creation callback is supplied.
  44
  45 * The git_clone_options struct now provides repository_cb and
  46   repository_cb_payload to allow the user to create a repository with
  47   custom options.
  48
  49 * git_clone_into and git_clone_local_into have been removed from the
  50   public API in favour of git_clone callbacks
  51
  52 * Add support for refspecs with the asterisk in the middle of a
  53   pattern.
  54
  55 * Introduce git_merge_bases() and the git_oidarray type to expose all
  56   merge bases between two commits.
