* Use a map for the treebuilder, making insertion O(1)
+* Introduce reference transactions, which allow multiple references to
+ be locked at the same time and updates be queued. This also allows
+ us to safely update a reflog with arbitrary contents, as we need to
+ do for stash.
+
+* The index' tree cache is now filled upon read-tree and write-tree
+ and the cache is written to disk.
+
* LF -> CRLF filter refuses to handle mixed-EOL files
* LF -> CRLF filter now runs when * text = auto (with Git for Windows 1.9.4)
+* The git_transport structure definition has moved into the sys/transport.h
+ file.
+
+* The ssh transport supports asking the remote host for accepted
+ credential types as well as multiple challeges using a single
+ connection. This requires to know which username you want to connect
+ as, so this introduces the USERNAME credential type which the ssh
+ transport will use to ask for the username.
+
+* The build system now accepts an option EMBED_SSH_PATH which when set
+ tells it to include a copy of libssh2 at the given location. This is
+ enabled for MSVC.
+
+* The git_transport_register function no longer takes a priority and takes
+ a URL scheme name (eg "http") instead of a prefix like "http://"
+
* The git_remote_set_transport function now sets a transport factory function,
rather than a pre-existing transport instance.
+* A factory function for ssh has been added which allows to change the
+ path of the programs to execute for receive-pack and upload-pack on
+ the server, git_transport_ssh_with_paths.
+
+* git_remote_rename() now takes the repository and the remote's
+ current name. Accepting a remote indicates we want to change it,
+ which we only did partially. It is much clearer if we accept a name
+ and no loaded objects are changed.
+
+* git_remote_delete() now accepts the repository and the remote's name
+ instead of a loaded remote.
+
+* git_remote_supported_url() has been removed as it has become
+ essentially useless with rsync-style ssh paths.
+
* The git_clone_options struct no longer provides the ignore_cert_errors or
remote_name members for remote customization.
repository_cb_payload to allow the user to create a repository with
custom options.
+* The option to ignore certificate errors via git_remote_cert_check()
+ is no longer present. Instead, git_remote_callbacks has gained a new
+ entry which lets the user perform their own certificate checks.
+
* git_clone_into and git_clone_local_into have been removed from the
public API in favour of git_clone callbacks
+
+* Add support for refspecs with the asterisk in the middle of a
+ pattern.
+
+* Fetching now performs opportunistic updates. To achieve this, we
+ introduce a difference between active and passive refspecs, which
+ make git_remote_download and git_remote_fetch to take a list of
+ resfpecs to be the active list, similarly to how git fetch accepts a
+ list on the command-line.
+
+* Rename git_remote_load() to git_remote_lookup() to bring it in line
+ with the rest of the lookup functions.
+
+* Introduce git_merge_bases() and the git_oidarray type to expose all
+ merge bases between two commits.
+
+* Introduce git_merge_bases_many() to expose all merge bases between
+ multiple commits.
+
+* git_merge_head is now git_annotated_commit, to better reflect its usage
+ for multiple functions (including rebase)
+
+* Introduce rebase functionality (using the merge algorithm only).
+ Introduce git_rebase_init() to begin a new rebase session,
+ git_rebase_open() to open an in-progress rebase session,
+ git_rebase_commit() to commit the current rebase operation,
+ git_rebase_next() to apply the next rebase operation,
+ git_rebase_abort() to abort an in-progress rebase and git_rebase_finish()
+ to complete a rebase operation.
+
+* Introduce git_note_author() and git_note_committer() to get the author
+ and committer information on a git_note, respectively.
+
+* The THREADSAFE option to build libgit2 with threading support has
+ been flipped to be on by default.
+
+* The context_lines and interhunk_lines fields in git_diff_options are
+ now uint32_t instead of uint16_t. This allows to set them to UINT_MAX,
+ in effect asking for "infinite" context e.g. to iterate over all the
+ unmodified lines of a diff.
+
+* git_status_file now takes an exact path. Use git_status_list_new if
+ pathspec searching is needed.
+
+* The fetch behavior of remotes with autotag set to GIT_REMOTE_DOWNLOAD_TAGS_ALL
+ has been changed to match git 1.9.0 and later. In this mode, libgit2 now
+ fetches all tags in addition to whatever else needs to be fetched.
+
+* git_threads_init() and git_threads_shutdown() have been renamed to
+ git_libgit2_init() and git_libgit2_shutdown() to better explain what
+ their purpose is, as it's grown to be more than just about threads.
+
+* git_libgit2_init() and git_libgit2_shutdown() now return the number of
+ initializations of the library, so consumers may schedule work on the
+ first initialization.
