+
+### Changes or improvements
+
+* Improved `p_unlink` in `posix_w32.c` to try and make a file writable
+ before sleeping in the retry loop to prevent unnecessary calls to sleep.
+
+* The CMake build infrastructure has been improved to speed up building time.
+
+* A new CMake option "-DUSE_HTTPS=<backend>" makes it possible to explicitly
+ choose an HTTP backend.
+
+* A new CMake option "-DSHA1_BACKEND=<backend>" makes it possible to explicitly
+ choose an SHA1 backend. The collision-detecting backend is now the default.
+
+* A new CMake option "-DUSE_BUNDLED_ZLIB" makes it possible to explicitly use
+ the bundled zlib library.
+
+* A new CMake option "-DENABLE_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILDS" makes it possible to
+ generate a reproducible static archive. This requires support from your
+ toolchain.
+
+* The minimum required CMake version has been bumped to 2.8.11.
+
+* Writing to a configuration file now preserves the case of the key given by the
+ caller for the case-insensitive portions of the key (existing sections are
+ used even if they don't match).
+
+* We now support conditional includes in configuration files.
+
+* Fix for handling re-reading of configuration files with includes.
+
+* Fix for reading patches which contain exact renames only.
+
+* Fix for reading patches with whitespace in the compared files' paths.
+
+* We will now fill `FETCH_HEAD` from all passed refspecs instead of overwriting
+ with the last one.
+
+* There is a new diff option, `GIT_DIFF_INDENT_HEURISTIC` which activates a
+ heuristic which takes into account whitespace and indentation in order to
+ produce better diffs when dealing with ambiguous diff hunks.
+
+* Fix for pattern-based ignore rules where files ignored by a rule cannot be
+ un-ignored by another rule.
+
+* Sockets opened by libgit2 are now being closed on exec(3) if the platform
+ supports it.
+
+* Fix for peeling annotated tags from packed-refs files.
+
+* Fix reading huge loose objects from the object database.
+
+* Fix files not being treated as modified when only the file mode has changed.
+
+* We now explicitly reject adding submodules to the index via
+ `git_index_add_frombuffer`.
+
+* Fix handling of `GIT_DIFF_FIND_RENAMES_FROM_REWRITES` raising `SIGABRT` when
+ one file has been deleted and another file has been rewritten.
+
+* Fix for WinHTTP not properly handling NTLM and Negotiate challenges.
+
+* When using SSH-based transports, we now repeatedly ask for the passphrase to
+ decrypt the private key in case a wrong passphrase is being provided.
+
+* When generating conflict markers, they will now use the same line endings as
+ the rest of the file.
+
+### API additions
+
+* The `git_merge_file_options` structure now contains a new setting,
+ `marker_size`. This allows users to set the size of markers that
+ delineate the sides of merged files in the output conflict file.
+ By default this is 7 (`GIT_MERGE_CONFLICT_MARKER_SIZE`), which
+ produces output markers like `<<<<<<<` and `>>>>>>>`.
+
+* `git_remote_create_detached()` creates a remote that is not associated
+ to any repository (and does not apply configuration like 'insteadof' rules).
+ This is mostly useful for e.g. emulating `git ls-remote` behavior.
+
+* `git_diff_patchid()` lets you generate patch IDs for diffs.
+
+* `git_status_options` now has an additional field `baseline` to allow creating
+ status lists against different trees.
+
+* New family of functions to allow creating notes for a specific notes commit
+ instead of for a notes reference.
+
+* New family of functions to allow parsing message trailers. This API is still
+ experimental and may change in future releases.
+
+### API removals
+
+### Breaking API changes
+
+* Signatures now distinguish between +0000 and -0000 UTC offsets.
+
+* The certificate check callback in the WinHTTP transport will now receive the
+ `message_cb_payload` instead of the `cred_acquire_payload`.
+
+* We are now reading symlinked directories under .git/refs.
+
+* We now refuse creating branches named "HEAD".
+
+* We now refuse reading and writing all-zero object IDs into the
+ object database.
+
+* We now read the effective user's configuration file instead of the real user's
+ configuration in case libgit2 runs as part of a setuid binary.
+
+* The `git_odb_open_rstream` function and its `readstream` callback in the
+ `git_odb_backend` interface have changed their signatures to allow providing
+ the object's size and type to the caller.
+
v0.26
-----
* `git_transport_smart_proxy_options()' enables you to get the proxy options for
smart transports.
+* The `GIT_FILTER_INIT` macro and the `git_filter_init` function are provided
+ to initialize a `git_filter` structure.
+
### Breaking API changes
* `clone_checkout_strategy` has been removed from
