1 | v1.0 |
2 | ---- | |
3 | ||
4 | This is release v1.0 "Luftschloss", which is the first stabe release of | |
5 | libgit2. The API will stay compatible across all releases of the same major | |
6 | version. This release includes bugfixes only and supersedes v0.99, which will | |
7 | stop being maintained. Both v0.27 and v0.28 stay supported in accordance with | |
8 | our release policy. | |
9 | ||
10 | ### Changes or improvements | |
11 | ||
12 | - CMake was converted to make use of the GNUInstallDirs module for both our | |
13 | pkgconfig and install targets in favor of our custom build options | |
14 | `BIN_INSTALL_DIR`, `LIB_INSTALL_DIR` and `INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR`. Instead, you | |
15 | can now use CMakes standard variables `CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR`, | |
16 | `CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR` and `CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR`. | |
17 | ||
18 | - Some CMake build options accepted either a specific value or a boolean value | |
19 | to disable the option altogether or use automatic detection. We only accepted | |
20 | "ON" or "OFF", but none of the other values CMake recognizes as boolean. This | |
21 | was aligned with CMake's understanding of booleans. | |
22 | ||
23 | - The installed pkgconfig file contained incorrect values for both `libdir` and | |
24 | `includedir` variables. | |
25 | ||
26 | - If using pcre2 for regular expressions, then we incorrectly added "pcre2" | |
27 | instead of "pcre2-8" to our pkgconfig dependencies, which was corrected. | |
28 | ||
29 | - Fixed building the bundled ntlmclient dependency on FreeBSD, OpenBSD and | |
30 | SunOS. | |
31 | ||
32 | - When writing symlinks on Windows, we incorrectly handled relative symlink | |
33 | targets, which was corrected. | |
34 | ||
35 | - When using the HTTP protocol via macOS' SecureTransport implementation, reads | |
36 | could stall at the end of the session and only continue after a timeout of 60 | |
37 | seconds was reached. | |
38 | ||
39 | - The filesystem-based reference callback didn't corectly initialize the backend | |
40 | version. | |
41 | ||
42 | - A segmentation fault was fixed when calling `git_blame_buffer()` for files | |
43 | that were modified and added to the index. | |
44 | ||
45 | - A backwards-incompatible change was introduced when we moved some structures | |
46 | from "git2/credentials.h" into "git2/sys/credentials.h". This was fixed in the | |
47 | case where you do not use hard deprecation. | |
48 | ||
49 | - Improved error handling in various places. | |
50 | ||

52 | v0.99 |
53 | ----- | |
54 | ||
55 | This is v0.99 "Torschlusspanik". This will be the last minor release | |
56 | before libgit2 v1.0. We expect to only respond to bugs in this release, | |
57 | to stabilize it for next major release. | |
58 | ||
59 | It contains significant refactorings, but is expected to be API-compatible | |
60 | with v0.28.0. | |
61 | ||
62 | ### Changes or improvements | |
63 | ||
64 | * When fetching from an anonymous remote using a URL with authentication | |
65 | information provided in the URL (eg `https://foo:bar@example.com/repo`), | |
66 | we would erroneously include the literal URL in the FETCH_HEAD file. | |
67 | We now remove that to match git's behavior. | |
68 | ||
69 | * Some credential structures, enums and values have been renamed: | |
70 | `git_cred` is now `git_credential`. `git_credtype_t` is now | |
71 | `git_credential_t`. Functions and types beginning with | |
72 | `git_cred_` now begin with `git_credential`, and constants beginning | |
73 | with `GIT_CREDTYPE` now begin with `GIT_CREDENTIAL`. The former names | |
74 | are deprecated. | |
75 | ||
76 | * Several function signatures have been changed to return an `int` to | |
77 | indicate error conditions. We encourage you to check them for errors | |
78 | in the standard way. | |
79 | ||
80 | * `git_attr_cache_flush` | |
81 | * `git_error_set_str` | |
82 | * `git_index_name_clear` | |
83 | * `git_index_reuc_clear` | |
84 | * `git_libgit2_version` | |
85 | * `git_mempack_reset` | |
86 | * `git_oid_cpy` | |
87 | * `git_oid_fmt` | |
88 | * `git_oid_fromraw` | |
89 | * `git_oid_nfmt` | |
90 | * `git_oid_pathfmt` | |
91 | * `git_remote_stop` | |
92 | * `git_remote_disconnect` | |
93 | * `git_repository__cleanup` | |
94 | * `git_repository_set_config` | |
95 | * `git_repository_set_index` | |
96 | * `git_repository_set_odb` | |
97 | * `git_repository_set_refdb` | |
98 | * `git_revwalk_reset` | |
99 | * `git_revwalk_simplify_first_parent` | |
100 | * `git_revwalk_sorting` | |
101 | * `git_treebuilder_clear` | |
102 | * `git_treebuilder_filter` | |
103 | ||
104 | * The NTLM and Negotiate authentication mechanisms are now supported when | |
105 | talking to git implementations hosted on Apache or nginx servers. | |
106 | ||
107 | * The `HEAD` symbolic reference can no longer be deleted. | |
108 | ||
109 | * `git_merge_driver_source_repo` no longer returns a `const git_repository *`, | |
110 | it now returns a non-`const` `git_repository *`. | |
111 | ||
112 | * Relative symbolic links are now supported on Windows when `core.symlinks` | |
113 | is enabled. | |
114 | ||
115 | * Servers that provide query parameters with a redirect are now supported. | |
116 | ||
117 | * `git_submodule_sync` will now resolve relative URLs. | |
118 | ||
119 | * When creating git endpoint URLs, double-slashes are no longer used when | |
120 | the given git URL has a trailing slash. | |
121 | ||
122 | * On Windows, a `DllMain` function is no longer included and thread-local | |
123 | storage has moved to fiber-local storage in order to prevent race | |
124 | conditions during shutdown. | |
125 | ||
126 | * The tracing mechanism (`GIT_TRACE`) is now enabled by default and does | |
127 | not need to be explicitly enabled in CMake. | |
128 | ||
129 | * The size of Git objects is now represented by `git_object_size_t` | |
130 | instead of `off_t`. | |
131 | ||
132 | * Binary patches without data can now be parsed. | |
133 | ||
134 | * A configuration snapshot can now be created from another configuration | |
135 | snapshot, not just a "true" configuration object. | |
136 | ||
137 | * The `git_commit_with_signature` API will now ensure that referenced | |
138 | objects exist in the object database. | |
139 | ||
140 | * Stash messages containing newlines will now be replaced with spaces; | |
141 | they will no longer be (erroneously) written to the repository. | |
142 | ||
143 | * `git_commit_create_with_signature` now verifies the commit information | |
144 | to ensure that it points to a valid tree and valid parents. | |
145 | ||
146 | * `git_apply` has an option `GIT_APPLY_CHECK` that will only do a dry-run. | |
147 | The index and working directory will remain unmodified, and application | |
148 | will report if it would have worked. | |
149 | ||
150 | * Patches produced by Mercurial (those that lack some git extended headers) | |
151 | can now be parsed and applied. | |
152 | ||
153 | * Reference locks are obeyed correctly on POSIX platforms, instead of | |
154 | being removed. | |
155 | ||
156 | * Patches with empty new files can now be read and applied. | |
157 | ||
158 | * `git_apply_to_tree` can now correctly apply patches that add new files. | |
159 | ||
160 | * The program data configuration on Windows (`C:\ProgramData\Git\config`) | |
161 | must be owned by an administrator, a system account or the current user | |
162 | to be read. | |
163 | ||
164 | * `git_blob_filtered_content` is now deprecated in favor of `git_blob_filter`. | |
165 | ||
166 | * Configuration files can now be included conditionally using the | |
167 | `onbranch` conditional. | |
168 | ||
169 | * Checkout can now properly create and remove symbolic links to directories | |
170 | on Windows. | |
171 | ||
172 | * Stash no longer recomputes trees when committing a worktree, for | |
173 | improved performance. | |
174 | ||
175 | * Repository templates can now include a `HEAD` file to default the | |
176 | initial default branch. | |
177 | ||
178 | * Some configuration structures, enums and values have been renamed: | |
179 | `git_cvar_map` is now `git_configmap`, `git_cvar_t` is now | |
180 | `git_configmap_t`, `GIT_CVAR_FALSE` is now `GIT_CONFIGMAP_FALSE`, | |
181 | `GIT_CVAR_TRUE` is now `GIT_CONFIGMAP_TRUE`, `GIT_CVAR_INT32` is now | |
182 | `GIT_CONFIGMAP_INT32`, and `GIT_CVAR_STRING` is now `GIT_CONFIGMAP_STRING`. | |
183 | The former names are deprecated. | |
184 | ||
185 | * Repositories can now be created at the root of a Windows drive. | |
186 | ||
187 | * Configuration lookups are now more efficiently cached. | |
188 | ||
189 | * `git_commit_create_with_signature` now supports a `NULL` signature, | |
190 | which will create a commit without adding a signature. | |
191 | ||
192 | * When a repository lacks an `info` "common directory", we will no | |
193 | longer erroneously return `GIT_ENOTFOUND` for all attribute lookups. | |
194 | ||
195 | * Several attribute macros have been renamed: `GIT_ATTR_TRUE` is now | |
196 | `GIT_ATTR_IS_TRUE`, `GIT_ATTR_FALSE` is now `GIT_ATTR_IS_FALSE`, | |
197 | `GIT_ATTR_UNSPECIFIED` is now `GIT_ATTR_IS_UNSPECIFIED`. The | |
198 | attribute enum `git_attr_t` is now `git_attr_value_t` and its | |
199 | values have been renamed: `GIT_ATTR_UNSPECIFIED_T` is now | |
200 | `GIT_ATTR_VALUE_UNSPECIFIED`, `GIT_ATTR_TRUE_T` is now | |
201 | `GIT_ATTR_VALUE_TRUE`, `GIT_ATTR_FALSE_T` is now `GIT_ATTR_VALUE_FALSE`, | |
202 | and `GIT_ATTR_VALUE_T` is now `GIT_ATTR_VALUE_STRING`. The | |
203 | former names are deprecated. | |
204 | ||
205 | * `git_object__size` is now `git_object_size`. The former name is | |
206 | deprecated. | |
207 | ||
208 | * `git_tag_create_frombuffer` is now `git_tag_create_from_buffer`. The | |
209 | former name is deprecated. | |
210 | ||
211 | * Several blob creation functions have been renamed: | |
212 | `git_blob_create_frombuffer` is now named `git_blob_create_from_buffer`, | |
213 | `git_blob_create_fromdisk` is now named `git_blob_create_from_disk`, | |
214 | `git_blob_create_fromworkdir` is now named `git_blob_create_from_workdir`, | |
215 | `git_blob_create_fromstream` is now named `git_blob_create_from_stream`, | |
216 | and `git_blob_create_fromstream_commit` is now named | |
217 | `git_blob_create_from_stream_commit`. The former names are deprecated. | |
218 | ||
219 | * The function `git_oid_iszero` is now named `git_oid_is_zero`. The | |
220 | former name is deprecated. | |
221 | ||
222 | * Pattern matching is now done using `wildmatch` instead of `fnmatch` | |
223 | for compatibility with git. | |
224 | ||
225 | * The option initialization functions suffixed by `init_options` are now | |
226 | suffixed with `options_init`. (For example, `git_checkout_init_options` | |
227 | is now `git_checkout_options_init`.) The former names are deprecated. | |
228 | ||
229 | * NTLM2 authentication is now supported on non-Windows platforms. | |
230 | ||
231 | * The `git_cred_sign_callback` callback is now named `git_cred_sign_cb`. | |
232 | The `git_cred_ssh_interactive_callback` callback is now named | |
233 | `git_cred_ssh_interactive_cb`. | |
234 | ||
235 | * Ignore files now: | |
236 | ||
237 | * honor escaped trailing whitespace. | |
238 | * do not incorrectly negate sibling paths of a negated pattern. | |
239 | * honor rules that stop ignoring files after a wildcard | |
240 | ||
241 | * Attribute files now: | |
b6832cbf | 242 | |
0c9c969a UG |
243 | * honor leading and trailing whitespace. |
244 | * treat paths beginning with `\` as absolute only on Windows. | |
245 | * properly handle escaped characters. | |
246 | * stop reading macros defined in subdirectories | |
247 | ||
248 | * The C locale is now correctly used when parsing regular expressions. | |
249 | ||
250 | * The system PCRE2 or PCRE regular expression libraries are now used | |
251 | when `regcomp_l` is not available on the system. If none of these | |
252 | are available on the system, an included version of PCRE is used. | |
253 | ||
254 | * Wildcards in reference specifications are now supported beyond simply | |
255 | a bare wildcard (`*`) for compatibility with git. | |
256 | ||
257 | * When `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` is provided a path with a trailing | |
258 | slash (eg, `dir/`), it will now treat it as a directory for the | |
259 | purposes of ignore matching. | |
260 | ||
261 | * Patches that add or remove a file with a space in the path can now | |
262 | be correctly parsed. | |
263 | ||
264 | * The `git_remote_completion_type` type is now `git_remote_completion_t`. | |
265 | The former name is deprecated. | |
266 | ||
267 | * The `git_odb_backend_malloc` is now `git_odb_backend_data_alloc`. The | |
268 | former name is deprecated. | |
269 | ||
270 | * The `git_transfer_progress_cb` callback is now `git_indexer_progress_cb` | |
271 | and the `git_transfer_progress` structure is now `git_indexer_progress`. | |
272 | The former names are deprecated. | |
273 | ||
274 | * The example projects are now contained in a single `lg2` executable | |
275 | for ease of use. | |
276 | ||
277 | * libgit2 now correctly handles more URLs, such as | |
278 | `http://example.com:/repo.git` (colon but no port), | |
279 | `http://example.com` (no path), | |
280 | and `http://example.com:8080/` (path is /, nonstandard port). | |
281 | ||
282 | * A carefully constructed commit object with a very large number | |
283 | of parents may lead to potential out-of-bounds writes or | |
284 | potential denial of service. | |
285 | ||
286 | * The ProgramData configuration file is always read for compatibility | |
287 | with Git for Windows and Portable Git installations. The ProgramData | |
288 | location is not necessarily writable only by administrators, so we | |
289 | now ensure that the configuration file is owned by the administrator | |
290 | or the current user. | |
291 | ||
292 | ### API additions | |
293 | ||
294 | * The SSH host key now supports SHA-256 when `GIT_CERT_SSH_SHA256` is set. | |
295 | ||
296 | * The diff format option `GIT_DIFF_FORMAT_PATCH_ID` can now be used to | |
297 | emit an output like `git patch-id`. | |
298 | ||
299 | * The `git_apply_options_init` function will initialize a | |
300 | `git_apply_options` structure. | |
301 | ||
302 | * The remote callbacks structure adds a `git_url_resolve_cb` callback | |
303 | that is invoked when connecting to a server, so that applications | |
304 | may edit or replace the URL before connection. | |
305 | ||
306 | * The information about the original `HEAD` in a rebase operation is | |
307 | available with `git_rebase_orig_head_name`. Its ID is available with | |
308 | `git_rebase_orig_head_id`. The `onto` reference name is available with | |
309 | `git_rebase_onto_name` and its ID is available with `git_rebase_onto_id`. | |
310 | ||
311 | * ODB backends can now free backend data when an error occurs during its | |
312 | backend data creation using `git_odb_backend_data_free`. | |
313 | ||
314 | * Options may be specified to `git_repository_foreach_head` to control | |
315 | its behavior: `GIT_REPOSITORY_FOREACH_HEAD_SKIP_REPO` will not skip | |
316 | the main repository's HEAD reference, while | |
317 | `GIT_REPOSITORY_FOREACH_HEAD_SKIP_WORKTREES` will now skip the | |
318 | worktree HEAD references. | |
319 | ||
320 | * The `GIT_OPT_DISABLE_PACK_KEEP_FILE_CHECKS` option can be specified to | |
321 | `git_libgit2_opts()` to avoid looking for `.keep` files that correspond | |
322 | to packfiles. This setting can improve performance when packfiles are | |
323 | stored on high-latency filesystems like network filesystems. | |
324 | ||
325 | * Blobs can now be filtered with `git_blob_filter`, which allows for | |
326 | options to be set with `git_blob_filter_options`, including | |
327 | `GIT_FILTER_NO_SYSTEM_ATTRIBUTES` to disable filtering with system-level | |
328 | attributes in `/etc/gitattributes` and `GIT_ATTR_CHECK_INCLUDE_HEAD` to | |
329 | enable filtering with `.gitattributes` files in the HEAD revision. | |
330 | ||
331 | ### API removals | |
332 | ||
333 | * The unused `git_headlist_cb` function declaration was removed. | |
334 | ||
335 | * The unused `git_time_monotonic` API is removed. | |
336 | ||
337 | * The erroneously exported `inttypes.h` header was removed. | |
338 | ||
339 | # Security Fixes | |
b6832cbf UG |
340 | |
341 | - CVE-2019-1348: the fast-import stream command "feature | |
342 | export-marks=path" allows writing to arbitrary file paths. As | |
343 | libgit2 does not offer any interface for fast-import, it is not | |
344 | susceptible to this vulnerability. | |
345 | ||
346 | - CVE-2019-1349: by using NTFS 8.3 short names, backslashes or | |
347 | alternate filesystreams, it is possible to cause submodules to | |
348 | be written into pre-existing directories during a recursive | |
349 | clone using git. As libgit2 rejects cloning into non-empty | |
350 | directories by default, it is not susceptible to this | |
351 | vulnerability. | |
352 | ||
353 | - CVE-2019-1350: recursive clones may lead to arbitrary remote | |
354 | code executing due to improper quoting of command line | |
355 | arguments. As libgit2 uses libssh2, which does not require us | |
356 | to perform command line parsing, it is not susceptible to this | |
357 | vulnerability. | |
358 | ||
359 | - CVE-2019-1351: Windows provides the ability to substitute | |
360 | drive letters with arbitrary letters, including multi-byte | |
361 | Unicode letters. To fix any potential issues arising from | |
362 | interpreting such paths as relative paths, we have extended | |
363 | detection of DOS drive prefixes to accomodate for such cases. | |
364 | ||
365 | - CVE-2019-1352: by using NTFS-style alternative file streams for | |
366 | the ".git" directory, it is possible to overwrite parts of the | |
367 | repository. While this has been fixed in the past for Windows, | |
368 | the same vulnerability may also exist on other systems that | |
369 | write to NTFS filesystems. We now reject any paths starting | |
370 | with ".git:" on all systems. | |
371 | ||
372 | - CVE-2019-1353: by using NTFS-style 8.3 short names, it was | |
373 | possible to write to the ".git" directory and thus overwrite | |
374 | parts of the repository, leading to possible remote code | |
375 | execution. While this problem was already fixed in the past for | |
376 | Windows, other systems accessing NTFS filesystems are | |
377 | vulnerable to this issue too. We now enable NTFS protecions by | |
378 | default on all systems to fix this attack vector. | |
379 | ||
380 | - CVE-2019-1354: on Windows, backslashes are not a valid part of | |
381 | a filename but are instead interpreted as directory separators. | |
382 | As other platforms allowed to use such paths, it was possible | |
383 | to write such invalid entries into a Git repository and was | |
384 | thus an attack vector to write into the ".git" dierctory. We | |
385 | now reject any entries starting with ".git\" on all systems. | |
386 | ||
387 | - CVE-2019-1387: it is possible to let a submodule's git | |
388 | directory point into a sibling's submodule directory, which may | |
389 | result in overwriting parts of the Git repository and thus lead | |
390 | to arbitrary command execution. As libgit2 doesn't provide any | |
391 | way to do submodule clones natively, it is not susceptible to | |
392 | this vulnerability. Users of libgit2 that have implemented | |
393 | recursive submodule clones manually are encouraged to review | |
394 | their implementation for this vulnerability. | |
395 | ||
0c9c969a | 396 | ### Breaking API changes |
6147f643 | 397 | |
0c9c969a UG |
398 | * The "private" implementation details of the `git_cred` structure have been |
399 | moved to a dedicated `git2/sys/cred.h` header, to clarify that the underlying | |
400 | structures are only provided for custom transport implementers. | |
401 | The breaking change is that the `username` member of the underlying struct | |
402 | is now hidden, and a new `git_cred_get_username` function has been provided. | |
6147f643 | 403 | |
0c9c969a | 404 | ### Breaking CMake configuration changes |
6147f643 | 405 | |
0c9c969a UG |
406 | * The CMake option to use a system http-parser library, instead of the |
407 | bundled dependency, has changed. This is due to a deficiency in | |
408 | http-parser that we have fixed in our implementation. The bundled | |
409 | library is now the default, but if you wish to force the use of the | |
410 | system http-parser implementation despite incompatibilities, you can | |
411 | specify `-DUSE_HTTP_PARSER=system` to CMake. | |
6147f643 | 412 | |
0c9c969a UG |
413 | * The interactions between `USE_HTTPS` and `SHA1_BACKEND` have been |
414 | streamlined. The detection was moved to a new `USE_SHA1`, modeled after | |
415 | `USE_HTTPS`, which takes the values "CollisionDetection/Backend/Generic", to | |
416 | better match how the "hashing backend" is selected, the default (ON) being | |
417 | "CollisionDetection". If you were using `SHA1_BACKEND` previously, you'll | |
418 | need to check the value you've used, or switch to the autodetection. | |

477 | v0.28 |
478 | ----- | |
6c7cee42 | 479 | |
ac3d33df | 480 | ### Changes or improvements |
6c7cee42 | 481 | |
ac3d33df JK |
482 | * The library is now always built with cdecl calling conventions on |
483 | Windows; the ability to build a stdcall library has been removed. | |
6c7cee42 | 484 | |
ac3d33df | 485 | * Reference log creation now honors `core.logallrefupdates=always`. |
6c7cee42 | 486 | |
ac3d33df | 487 | * Fix some issues with the error-reporting in the OpenSSL backend. |
6c7cee42 | 488 | |
ac3d33df JK |
489 | * HTTP proxy support is now builtin; libcurl is no longer used to support |
490 | proxies and is removed as a dependency. | |
6c7cee42 | 491 | |
ac3d33df JK |
492 | * Certificate and credential callbacks can now return `GIT_PASSTHROUGH` |
493 | to decline to act; libgit2 will behave as if there was no callback set | |
494 | in the first place. | |
6c7cee42 | 495 | |
ac3d33df JK |
496 | * The line-ending filtering logic - when checking out files - has been |
497 | updated to match newer git (>= git 2.9) for proper interoperability. | |
6c7cee42 | 498 | |
ac3d33df JK |
499 | * Symbolic links are now supported on Windows when `core.symlinks` is set |
500 | to `true`. | |
6c7cee42 | 501 | |
ac3d33df JK |
502 | * Submodules with names which attempt to perform path traversal now have their |
503 | configuration ignored. Such names were blindly appended to the | |
504 | `$GIT_DIR/modules` and a malicious name could lead to an attacker writing to | |
505 | an arbitrary location. This matches git's handling of CVE-2018-11235. | |
6c7cee42 | 506 | |
ac3d33df JK |
507 | * Object validation is now performed during tree creation in the |
508 | `git_index_write_tree_to` API. | |
6c7cee42 | 509 | |
ac3d33df JK |
510 | * Configuration variable may now be specified on the same line as a section |
511 | header; previously this was erroneously a parser error. | |
6c7cee42 | 512 | |
ac3d33df JK |
513 | * When an HTTP server supports both NTLM and Negotiate authentication |
514 | mechanisms, we would previously fail to authenticate with any mechanism. | |
6c7cee42 | 515 | |
ac3d33df JK |
516 | * The `GIT_OPT_SET_PACK_MAX_OBJECTS` option can now set the maximum |
517 | number of objects allowed in a packfile being downloaded; this can help | |
518 | limit the maximum memory used when fetching from an untrusted remote. | |
6c7cee42 | 519 | |
ac3d33df JK |
520 | * Line numbers in diffs loaded from patch files were not being populated; |
521 | they are now included in the results. | |
6c7cee42 | 522 | |
ac3d33df JK |
523 | * The repository's index is reloaded from disk at the beginning of |
524 | `git_merge` operations to ensure that it is up-to-date. | |
6c7cee42 | 525 | |
ac3d33df JK |
526 | * Mailmap handling APIs have been introduced, and the new commit APIs |
527 | `git_commit_committer_with_mailmap` and `git_commit_author_with_mailmap` | |
528 | will use the mailmap to resolve the committer and author information. | |
529 | In addition, blame will use the mailmap given when the | |
530 | `GIT_BLAME_USE_MAILMAP` option. | |
4b3ec53c | 531 | |
ac3d33df | 532 | * Ignore handling for files in ignored folders would be ignored. |
4b3ec53c | 533 | |
ac3d33df | 534 | * Worktrees can now be backed by bare repositories. |
4b3ec53c | 535 | |
ac3d33df JK |
536 | * Trailing spaces are supported in `.gitignore` files, these spaces were |
537 | previously (and erroneously) treated as part of the pattern. | |
4b3ec53c | 538 | |
ac3d33df | 539 | * The library can now be built with mbedTLS support for HTTPS. |
4b3ec53c | 540 | |
ac3d33df JK |
541 | * The diff status character 'T' will now be presented by the |
542 | `git_diff_status_char` API for diff entries that change type. | |
2a3cc403 | 543 | |
ac3d33df JK |
544 | * Revision walks previously would sometimes include commits that should |
545 | have been ignored; this is corrected. | |
2a3cc403 | 546 | |
ac3d33df JK |
547 | * Revision walks are now more efficient when the output is unsorted; |
548 | we now avoid walking all the way to the beginning of history unnecessarily. | |
4b3ec53c | 549 | |
ac3d33df JK |
550 | * Error-handling around index extension loading has been fixed. We were |
551 | previously always misreporting a truncated index (#4858). | |
4b3ec53c | 552 | |
ac3d33df | 553 | ### API additions |
4b3ec53c | 554 | |
ac3d33df | 555 | * The index may now be iterated atomically using `git_index_iterator`. |
4b3ec53c | 556 | |
ac3d33df JK |
557 | * Remote objects can now be created with extended options using the |
558 | `git_remote_create_with_opts` API. | |
4b3ec53c | 559 | |
ac3d33df JK |
560 | * Diff objects can now be applied as changes to the working directory, |
561 | index or both, emulating the `git apply` command. Additionally, | |
562 | `git_apply_to_tree` can apply those changes to a tree object as a | |
563 | fully in-memory operation. | |
4b3ec53c | 564 | |
ac3d33df JK |
565 | * You can now swap out memory allocators via the |
566 | `GIT_OPT_SET_ALLOCATOR` option with `git_libgit2_opts()`. | |
4b3ec53c | 567 | |
ac3d33df JK |
568 | * You can now ensure that functions do not discard unwritten changes to the |
569 | index via the `GIT_OPT_ENABLE_UNSAVED_INDEX_SAFETY` option to | |
570 | `git_libgit2_opts()`. This will cause functions that implicitly re-read | |
571 | the index (eg, `git_checkout`) to fail if you have staged changes to the | |
572 | index but you have not written the index to disk. (Unless the checkout | |
573 | has the FORCE flag specified.) | |
4b3ec53c | 574 | |
ac3d33df JK |
575 | At present, this defaults to off, but we intend to enable this more |
576 | broadly in the future, as a warning or error. We encourage you to | |
577 | examine your code to ensure that you are not relying on the current | |
578 | behavior that implicitly removes staged changes. | |
4b3ec53c | 579 | |
ac3d33df JK |
580 | * Reference specifications can be parsed from an arbitrary string with |
581 | the `git_refspec_parse` API. | |
582 | ||
583 | * You can now get the name and path of worktrees using the | |
584 | `git_worktree_name` and `git_worktree_path` APIs, respectively. | |
585 | ||
586 | * The `ref` field has been added to `git_worktree_add_options` to enable | |
587 | the creation of a worktree from a pre-existing branch. | |
588 | ||
589 | * It's now possible to analyze merge relationships between any two | |
590 | references, not just against `HEAD`, using `git_merge_analysis_for_ref`. | |
591 | ||
592 | ### API removals | |
593 | ||
594 | * The `git_buf_free` API is deprecated; it has been renamed to | |
595 | `git_buf_dispose` for consistency. The `git_buf_free` API will be | |
596 | retained for backward compatibility for the foreseeable future. | |
597 | ||
598 | * The `git_otype` enumeration and its members are deprecated and have | |
599 | been renamed for consistency. The `GIT_OBJ_` enumeration values are | |
600 | now prefixed with `GIT_OBJECT_`. The old enumerations and macros | |
601 | will be retained for backward compatibility for the foreseeable future. | |
602 | ||
603 | * Several index-related APIs have been renamed for consistency. The | |
604 | `GIT_IDXENTRY_` enumeration values and macros have been renamed to | |
605 | be prefixed with `GIT_INDEX_ENTRY_`. The `GIT_INDEXCAP` enumeration | |
606 | values are now prefixed with `GIT_INDEX_CAPABILITY_`. The old | |
607 | enumerations and macros will be retained for backward compatibility | |
608 | for the foreseeable future. | |
4b3ec53c | 609 | |
ac3d33df JK |
610 | * The error functions and enumeration values have been renamed for |
611 | consistency. The `giterr_` functions and values prefix have been | |
612 | renamed to be prefixed with `git_error_`; similarly, the `GITERR_` | |
613 | constants have been renamed to be prefixed with `GIT_ERROR_`. | |
614 | The old enumerations and macros will be retained for backward | |
615 | compatibility for the foreseeable future. | |
4b3ec53c | 616 | |
ac3d33df | 617 | ### Breaking API changes |
2a3cc403 | 618 | |
ac3d33df | 619 | * The default checkout strategy changed from `DRY_RUN` to `SAFE` (#4531). |
2a3cc403 | 620 | |
ac3d33df JK |
621 | * Adding a symlink as .gitmodules into the index from the workdir or checking |
622 | out such files is not allowed as this can make a Git implementation write | |
623 | outside of the repository and bypass the fsck checks for CVE-2018-11235. | |
2a3cc403 | 624 | |

625 | v0.27 |
626 | --------- | |
627 | ||
628 | ### Changes or improvements | |
629 | ||
630 | * Improved `p_unlink` in `posix_w32.c` to try and make a file writable | |
631 | before sleeping in the retry loop to prevent unnecessary calls to sleep. | |
632 | ||
633 | * The CMake build infrastructure has been improved to speed up building time. | |
634 | ||
635 | * A new CMake option "-DUSE_HTTPS=<backend>" makes it possible to explicitly | |
636 | choose an HTTP backend. | |
637 | ||
638 | * A new CMake option "-DSHA1_BACKEND=<backend>" makes it possible to explicitly | |
639 | choose an SHA1 backend. The collision-detecting backend is now the default. | |
640 | ||
641 | * A new CMake option "-DUSE_BUNDLED_ZLIB" makes it possible to explicitly use | |
642 | the bundled zlib library. | |
643 | ||
644 | * A new CMake option "-DENABLE_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILDS" makes it possible to | |
645 | generate a reproducible static archive. This requires support from your | |
646 | toolchain. | |
647 | ||
648 | * The minimum required CMake version has been bumped to 2.8.11. | |
649 | ||
650 | * Writing to a configuration file now preserves the case of the key given by the | |
651 | caller for the case-insensitive portions of the key (existing sections are | |
652 | used even if they don't match). | |
653 | ||
654 | * We now support conditional includes in configuration files. | |
655 | ||
656 | * Fix for handling re-reading of configuration files with includes. | |
657 | ||
658 | * Fix for reading patches which contain exact renames only. | |
659 | ||
660 | * Fix for reading patches with whitespace in the compared files' paths. | |
661 | ||
662 | * We will now fill `FETCH_HEAD` from all passed refspecs instead of overwriting | |
663 | with the last one. | |
664 | ||
665 | * There is a new diff option, `GIT_DIFF_INDENT_HEURISTIC` which activates a | |
666 | heuristic which takes into account whitespace and indentation in order to | |
667 | produce better diffs when dealing with ambiguous diff hunks. | |
668 | ||
669 | * Fix for pattern-based ignore rules where files ignored by a rule cannot be | |
670 | un-ignored by another rule. | |
671 | ||
672 | * Sockets opened by libgit2 are now being closed on exec(3) if the platform | |
673 | supports it. | |
674 | ||
675 | * Fix for peeling annotated tags from packed-refs files. | |
676 | ||
677 | * Fix reading huge loose objects from the object database. | |
678 | ||
679 | * Fix files not being treated as modified when only the file mode has changed. | |
680 | ||
681 | * We now explicitly reject adding submodules to the index via | |
682 | `git_index_add_frombuffer`. | |
683 | ||
684 | * Fix handling of `GIT_DIFF_FIND_RENAMES_FROM_REWRITES` raising `SIGABRT` when | |
685 | one file has been deleted and another file has been rewritten. | |
686 | ||
687 | * Fix for WinHTTP not properly handling NTLM and Negotiate challenges. | |
688 | ||
689 | * When using SSH-based transports, we now repeatedly ask for the passphrase to | |
690 | decrypt the private key in case a wrong passphrase is being provided. | |
691 | ||
692 | * When generating conflict markers, they will now use the same line endings as | |
693 | the rest of the file. | |
694 | ||
695 | ### API additions | |
696 | ||
697 | * The `git_merge_file_options` structure now contains a new setting, | |
698 | `marker_size`. This allows users to set the size of markers that | |
699 | delineate the sides of merged files in the output conflict file. | |
700 | By default this is 7 (`GIT_MERGE_CONFLICT_MARKER_SIZE`), which | |
701 | produces output markers like `<<<<<<<` and `>>>>>>>`. | |
702 | ||
703 | * `git_remote_create_detached()` creates a remote that is not associated | |
704 | to any repository (and does not apply configuration like 'insteadof' rules). | |
705 | This is mostly useful for e.g. emulating `git ls-remote` behavior. | |
706 | ||
707 | * `git_diff_patchid()` lets you generate patch IDs for diffs. | |
708 | ||
709 | * `git_status_options` now has an additional field `baseline` to allow creating | |
710 | status lists against different trees. | |
711 | ||
712 | * New family of functions to allow creating notes for a specific notes commit | |
713 | instead of for a notes reference. | |
714 | ||
715 | * New family of functions to allow parsing message trailers. This API is still | |
716 | experimental and may change in future releases. | |
717 | ||
718 | ### API removals | |
719 | ||
720 | ### Breaking API changes | |
721 | ||
722 | * Signatures now distinguish between +0000 and -0000 UTC offsets. | |
723 | ||
724 | * The certificate check callback in the WinHTTP transport will now receive the | |
725 | `message_cb_payload` instead of the `cred_acquire_payload`. | |
726 | ||
727 | * We are now reading symlinked directories under .git/refs. | |
728 | ||
729 | * We now refuse creating branches named "HEAD". | |
730 | ||
731 | * We now refuse reading and writing all-zero object IDs into the | |
732 | object database. | |
733 | ||
734 | * We now read the effective user's configuration file instead of the real user's | |
735 | configuration in case libgit2 runs as part of a setuid binary. | |
736 | ||
737 | * The `git_odb_open_rstream` function and its `readstream` callback in the | |
738 | `git_odb_backend` interface have changed their signatures to allow providing | |
739 | the object's size and type to the caller. | |

743 | |
744 | ### Changes or improvements | |
745 | ||
a1510880 PS |
746 | * Support for opening, creating and modifying worktrees. |
747 | ||
748 | * We can now detect SHA1 collisions resulting from the SHAttered attack. These | |
749 | checks can be enabled at build time via `-DUSE_SHA1DC`. | |
750 | ||
751 | * Fix for missing implementation of `git_merge_driver_source` getters. | |
752 | ||
753 | * Fix for installed pkg-config file being broken when the prefix contains | |
754 | spaces. | |
755 | ||
756 | * We now detect when the hashsum of on-disk objects does not match their | |
757 | expected hashsum. | |
758 | ||
759 | * We now support open-ended ranges (e.g. "master..", "...master") in our | |
760 | revision range parsing code. | |
761 | ||
762 | * We now correctly compute ignores with leading "/" in subdirectories. | |
763 | ||
764 | * We now optionally call `fsync` on loose objects, packfiles and their indexes, | |
765 | loose references and packed reference files. | |
766 | ||
a1b4cafd | 767 | * We can now build against OpenSSL v1.1 and against LibreSSL. |
a1510880 | 768 | |
07bb8078 ET |
769 | * `GIT_MERGE_OPTIONS_INIT` now includes a setting to perform rename detection. |
770 | This aligns this structure with the default by `git_merge` and | |
771 | `git_merge_trees` when `NULL` was provided for the options. | |
772 | ||
a1b4cafd ET |
773 | * Improvements for reading index v4 files. |
774 | ||
775 | * Perform additional retries for filesystem operations on Windows when files | |
776 | are temporarily locked by other processes. | |
777 | ||
5569778a CMN |
778 | ### API additions |
779 | ||
a1510880 PS |
780 | * New family of functions to handle worktrees: |
781 | ||
782 | * `git_worktree_list()` lets you look up worktrees for a repository. | |
783 | * `git_worktree_lookup()` lets you get a specific worktree. | |
784 | * `git_worktree_open_from_repository()` lets you get the associated worktree | |
785 | of a repository. | |
786 | a worktree. | |
787 | * `git_worktree_add` lets you create new worktrees. | |
788 | * `git_worktree_prune` lets you remove worktrees from disk. | |
789 | * `git_worktree_lock()` and `git_worktree_unlock()` let you lock | |
790 | respectively unlock a worktree. | |
791 | * `git_repository_open_from_worktree()` lets you open a repository via | |
792 | * `git_repository_head_for_worktree()` lets you get the current `HEAD` for a | |
793 | linked worktree. | |
794 | * `git_repository_head_detached_for_worktree()` lets you check whether a | |
795 | linked worktree is in detached HEAD mode. | |
796 | ||
797 | * `git_repository_item_path()` lets you retrieve paths for various repository | |
798 | files. | |
799 | ||
800 | * `git_repository_commondir()` lets you retrieve the common directory of a | |
801 | repository. | |
802 | ||
803 | * `git_branch_is_checked_out()` allows you to check whether a branch is checked | |
804 | out in a repository or any of its worktrees. | |
805 | ||
806 | * `git_repository_submodule_cache_all()` and | |
807 | `git_repository_submodule_cache_clear()` functions allow you to prime or clear | |
808 | the submodule cache of a repository. | |
809 | ||
810 | * You can disable strict hash verifications via the | |
811 | `GIT_OPT_ENABLE_STRICT_HASH_VERIFICATION` option with `git_libgit2_opts()`. | |
812 | ||
813 | * You can enable us calling `fsync` for various files inside the ".git" | |
814 | directory by setting the `GIT_OPT_ENABLE_FSYNC_GITDIR` option with | |
815 | `git_libgit2_opts()`. | |
816 | ||
817 | * You can now enable "offset deltas" when creating packfiles and negotiating | |
818 | packfiles with a remote server by setting `GIT_OPT_ENABLE_OFS_DELTA` option | |
819 | with `GIT_libgit2_opts()`. | |
820 | ||
d5e6ca1e SS |
821 | * You can now set the default share mode on Windows for opening files using |
822 | `GIT_OPT_SET_WINDOWS_SHAREMODE` option with `git_libgit2_opts()`. | |
823 | You can query the current share mode with `GIT_OPT_GET_WINDOWS_SHAREMODE`. | |
824 | ||
a1510880 PS |
825 | * `git_transport_smart_proxy_options()' enables you to get the proxy options for |
826 | smart transports. | |
827 | ||
15e11937 ET |
828 | * The `GIT_FILTER_INIT` macro and the `git_filter_init` function are provided |
829 | to initialize a `git_filter` structure. | |
830 | ||
5569778a CMN |

3b4eb107 ET |
833 | * `clone_checkout_strategy` has been removed from |
834 | `git_submodule_update_option`. The checkout strategy used to clone will | |
835 | be the same strategy specified in `checkout_opts`. | |
836 | ||
5569778a | 837 | v0.25 |

838 | ------- |
839 | ||
840 | ### Changes or improvements | |
841 | ||
04d6ab6c JT |
842 | * Fix repository discovery with `git_repository_discover` and |
843 | `git_repository_open_ext` to match git's handling of a ceiling | |
844 | directory at the current directory. git only checks ceiling | |
845 | directories when its search ascends to a parent directory. A ceiling | |
846 | directory matching the starting directory will not prevent git from | |
847 | finding a repository in the starting directory or a parent directory. | |
848 | ||
d81cb2e4 DT |
849 | * Do not fail when deleting remotes in the presence of broken |
850 | global configs which contain branches. | |
851 | ||
5625d86b DT |
852 | * Support for reading and writing git index v4 files |
853 | ||
4aed1b9a CMN |
854 | * Improve the performance of the revwalk and bring us closer to git's code. |
855 | ||
06de4e75 CMN |
856 | * The reference db has improved support for concurrency and returns `GIT_ELOCKED` |
857 | when an operation could not be performed due to locking. | |
858 | ||
859 | * Nanosecond resolution is now activated by default, following git's change to | |
860 | do this. | |
861 | ||
862 | * We now restrict the set of ciphers we let OpenSSL use by default. | |
863 | ||
864 | * Users can now register their own merge drivers for use with `.gitattributes`. | |
865 | The library also gained built-in support for the union merge driver. | |
866 | ||
867 | * The default for creating references is now to validate that the object does | |
868 | exist. | |
869 | ||
870 | * Add `git_proxy_options` which is used by the different networking | |
871 | implementations to let the caller specify the proxy settings instead of | |
872 | relying on the environment variables. | |
873 | ||
c21c8f67 CMN |
874 | ### API additions |
875 | ||
f1dba144 AB |
876 | * You can now get the user-agent used by libgit2 using the |
877 | `GIT_OPT_GET_USER_AGENT` option with `git_libgit2_opts()`. | |
878 | It is the counterpart to `GIT_OPT_SET_USER_AGENT`. | |
879 | ||
06de4e75 CMN |
880 | * The `GIT_OPT_SET_SSL_CIPHERS` option for `git_libgit2_opts()` lets you specify |
881 | a custom list of ciphers to use for OpenSSL. | |
882 | ||
47cb42da | 883 | * `git_commit_create_buffer()` creates a commit and writes it into a |
06de4e75 CMN |
884 | user-provided buffer instead of writing it into the object db. Combine it with |
885 | `git_commit_create_with_signature()` in order to create a commit with a | |
886 | cryptographic signature. | |
47cb42da | 887 | |
e2bb9ed3 CMN |
888 | * `git_blob_create_fromstream()` and |
889 | `git_blob_create_fromstream_commit()` allow you to create a blob by | |
890 | writing into a stream. Useful when you do not know the final size or | |
891 | want to copy the contents from another stream. | |
892 | ||
2b80260e JT |
893 | * New flags for `git_repository_open_ext`: |
894 | ||
895 | * `GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_NO_DOTGIT` - Do not check for a repository by | |
896 | appending `/.git` to the `start_path`; only open the repository if | |
897 | `start_path` itself points to the git directory. | |
898 | * `GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_FROM_ENV` - Find and open a git repository, | |
899 | respecting the environment variables used by the git command-line | |
900 | tools. If set, `git_repository_open_ext` will ignore the other | |
901 | flags and the `ceiling_dirs` argument, and will allow a NULL | |
902 | `path` to use `GIT_DIR` or search from the current directory. The | |
903 | search for a repository will respect `$GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES` | |
904 | and `$GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM`. The opened repository | |
905 | will respect `$GIT_INDEX_FILE`, `$GIT_NAMESPACE`, | |
906 | `$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY`, and `$GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES`. | |
907 | In the future, this flag will also cause `git_repository_open_ext` | |
908 | to respect `$GIT_WORK_TREE` and `$GIT_COMMON_DIR`; currently, | |
909 | `git_repository_open_ext` with this flag will error out if either | |
910 | `$GIT_WORK_TREE` or `$GIT_COMMON_DIR` is set. | |
911 | ||
06de4e75 | 912 | * `git_diff_from_buffer()` can create a `git_diff` object from the contents |
e2e7f31a ET |
913 | of a git-style patch file. |
914 | ||
5625d86b DT |
915 | * `git_index_version()` and `git_index_set_version()` to get and set |
916 | the index version | |
917 | ||
06de4e75 CMN |
918 | * `git_odb_expand_ids()` lets you check for the existence of multiple |
919 | objects at once. | |
920 | ||
921 | * The new `git_blob_dup()`, `git_commit_dup()`, `git_tag_dup()` and | |
922 | `git_tree_dup()` functions provide type-specific wrappers for | |
923 | `git_object_dup()` to reduce noise and increase type safety for callers. | |
924 | ||
925 | * `git_reference_dup()` lets you duplicate a reference to aid in ownership | |
926 | management and cleanup. | |
927 | ||
928 | * `git_signature_from_buffer()` lets you create a signature from a string in the | |
929 | format that appear in objects. | |
930 | ||
931 | * `git_tree_create_updated()` lets you create a tree based on another one | |
932 | together with a list of updates. For the covered update cases, it's more | |
933 | efficient than the `git_index` route. | |
934 | ||
935 | * `git_apply_patch()` applies hunks from a `git_patch` to a buffer. | |
936 | ||
937 | * `git_diff_to_buf()` lets you print an entire diff directory to a buffer, | |
938 | similar to how `git_patch_to_buf()` works. | |
939 | ||
940 | * `git_proxy_init_options()` is added to initialize a `git_proxy_options` | |
941 | structure at run-time. | |
942 | ||
943 | * `git_merge_driver_register()`, `git_merge_driver_unregister()` let you | |
944 | register and unregister a custom merge driver to be used when `.gitattributes` | |
945 | specifies it. | |
946 | ||
947 | * `git_merge_driver_lookup()` can be used to look up a merge driver by name. | |
948 | ||
949 | * `git_merge_driver_source_repo()`, `git_merge_driver_source_ancestor()`, | |
950 | `git_merge_driver_source_ours()`, `git_merge_driver_source_theirs()`, | |
951 | `git_merge_driver_source_file_options()` added as accessors to | |
952 | `git_merge_driver_source`. | |
953 | ||
c21c8f67 CMN |
954 | ### API removals |
955 | ||
6669e3e8 CMN |
956 | * `git_blob_create_fromchunks()` has been removed in favour of |
957 | `git_blob_create_fromstream()`. | |
958 | ||
c21c8f67 CMN |
959 | ### Breaking API changes |
960 | ||
60e15ecd ET |
961 | * `git_packbuilder_object_count` and `git_packbuilder_written` now |
962 | return a `size_t` instead of a `uint32_t` for more thorough | |
963 | compatibility with the rest of the library. | |
964 | ||
965 | * `git_packbuiler_progress` now provides explicitly sized `uint32_t` | |
966 | values instead of `unsigned int`. | |
967 | ||
002c8e29 ET |
968 | * `git_diff_file` now includes an `id_abbrev` field that reflects the |
969 | number of nibbles set in the `id` field. | |
970 | ||
8f09a98e ET |
971 | * `git_odb_backend` now has a `freshen` function pointer. This optional |
972 | function pointer is similar to the `exists` function, but it will update | |
973 | a last-used marker. For filesystem-based object databases, this updates | |
974 | the timestamp of the file containing the object, to indicate "freshness". | |
975 | If this is `NULL`, then it will not be called and the `exists` function | |
976 | will be used instead. | |
977 | ||
31c78299 SB |
978 | * `git_remote_connect()` now accepts `git_proxy_options` argument, and |
979 | `git_fetch_options` and `git_push_options` each have a `proxy_opts` field. | |
06de4e75 | 980 | |
d8f984bc SB |
981 | * `git_merge_options` now provides a `default_driver` that can be used |
982 | to provide the name of a merge driver to be used to handle files changed | |
983 | during a merge. | |
984 | ||
c21c8f67 | 985 | v0.24 |
159061a8 CMN |
986 | ------- |
987 | ||
988 | ### Changes or improvements | |
989 | ||
30a94ab7 ET |
990 | * Custom merge drivers can now be registered, which allows callers to |
991 | configure callbacks to honor `merge=driver` configuration in | |
992 | `.gitattributes`. | |
993 | ||
9a99ca7b ET |
994 | * Custom filters can now be registered with wildcard attributes, for |
995 | example `filter=*`. Consumers should examine the attributes parameter | |
996 | of the `check` function for details. | |
997 | ||
d83b2e9f CMN |
998 | * Symlinks are now followed when locking a file, which can be |
999 | necessary when multiple worktrees share a base repository. | |
1000 | ||
027bbaa7 CMN |
1001 | * You can now set your own user-agent to be sent for HTTP requests by |
1002 | using the `GIT_OPT_SET_USER_AGENT` with `git_libgit2_opts()`. | |
1003 | ||
82885255 CMN |
1004 | * You can set custom HTTP header fields to be sent along with requests |
1005 | by passing them in the fetch and push options. | |
1006 | ||
fc436469 CMN |
1007 | * Tree objects are now assumed to be sorted. If a tree is not |
1008 | correctly formed, it will give bad results. This is the git approach | |
1009 | and cuts a significant amount of time when reading the trees. | |
1010 | ||
f596946f CMN |
1011 | * Filter registration is now protected against concurrent |
1012 | registration. | |
1013 | ||
1014 | * Filenames which are not valid on Windows in an index no longer cause | |
1015 | to fail to parse it on that OS. | |
1016 | ||
1017 | * Rebases can now be performed purely in-memory, without touching the | |
1018 | repository's workdir. | |
1019 | ||
f2dddf52 ET |
1020 | * When adding objects to the index, or when creating new tree or commit |
1021 | objects, the inputs are validated to ensure that the dependent objects | |
1022 | exist and are of the correct type. This object validation can be | |
1023 | disabled with the GIT_OPT_ENABLE_STRICT_OBJECT_CREATION option. | |
1024 | ||
a7ef27af CMN |
1025 | * The WinHTTP transport's handling of bad credentials now behaves like |
1026 | the others, asking for credentials again. | |
1027 | ||
159061a8 CMN |
1028 | ### API additions |
1029 | ||
5340d63d CMN |
1030 | * `git_config_lock()` has been added, which allow for |
1031 | transactional/atomic complex updates to the configuration, removing | |
1032 | the opportunity for concurrent operations and not committing any | |
1033 | changes until the unlock. | |
36f784b5 | 1034 | |
3138ad93 JH |
1035 | * `git_diff_options` added a new callback `progress_cb` to report on the |
1036 | progress of the diff as files are being compared. The documentation of | |
1037 | the existing callback `notify_cb` was updated to reflect that it only | |
1038 | gets called when new deltas are added to the diff. | |
1039 | ||
82885255 CMN |
1040 | * `git_fetch_options` and `git_push_options` have gained a `custom_headers` |
1041 | field to set the extra HTTP header fields to send. | |
1042 | ||
7fafde63 CMN |
1043 | * `git_stream_register_tls()` lets you register a callback to be used |
1044 | as the constructor for a TLS stream instead of the libgit2 built-in | |
1045 | one. | |
1046 | ||
f596946f CMN |
1047 | * `git_commit_header_field()` allows you to look up a specific header |
1048 | field in a commit. | |
1049 | ||
1050 | * `git_commit_extract_signature()` extracts the signature from a | |
1051 | commit and gives you both the signature and the signed data so you | |
1052 | can verify it. | |
1053 | ||
159061a8 CMN |
1054 | ### API removals |
1055 | ||
c21c8f67 CMN |
1056 | * No APIs were removed in this version. |
1057 | ||
79698030 ET |
1058 | ### Breaking API changes |
1059 | ||
fa78782f ET |
1060 | * The `git_merge_tree_flag_t` is now `git_merge_flag_t`. Subsequently, |
1061 | its members are no longer prefixed with `GIT_MERGE_TREE_FLAG` but are | |
1062 | now prefixed with `GIT_MERGE_FLAG`, and the `tree_flags` field of the | |
1063 | `git_merge_options` structure is now named `flags`. | |
1064 | ||
1065 | * The `git_merge_file_flags_t` enum is now `git_merge_file_flag_t` for | |
1066 | consistency with other enum type names. | |
1067 | ||
79698030 ET |
1068 | * `git_cert` descendent types now have a proper `parent` member |
1069 | ||
fec4a68c | 1070 | * It is the responsibility of the refdb backend to decide what to do |
01d0c02d CMN |
1071 | with the reflog on ref deletion. The file-based backend must delete |
1072 | it, a database-backed one may wish to archive it. | |
1073 | ||
36f784b5 CMN |
1074 | * `git_config_backend` has gained two entries. `lock` and `unlock` |
1075 | with which to implement the transactional/atomic semantics for the | |
1076 | configuration backend. | |
1077 | ||
ad8509ef CMN |
1078 | * `git_index_add` and `git_index_conflict_add()` will now use the case |
1079 | as provided by the caller on case insensitive systems. Previous | |
1080 | versions would keep the case as it existed in the index. This does | |
1081 | not affect the higher-level `git_index_add_bypath` or | |
1082 | `git_index_add_frombuffer` functions. | |
a32bc85e | 1083 | |
3138ad93 JH |
1084 | * The `notify_payload` field of `git_diff_options` was renamed to `payload` |
1085 | to reflect that it's also the payload for the new progress callback. | |
1086 | ||
82885255 CMN |
1087 | * The `git_config_level_t` enum has gained a higher-priority value |
1088 | `GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_PROGRAMDATA` which represent a rough Windows equivalent | |
1089 | to the system level configuration. | |
1090 | ||
0b24855e | 1091 | * `git_rebase_options` now has a `merge_options` field. |
f596946f CMN |
1092 | |
1093 | * The index no longer performs locking itself. This is not something | |
1094 | users of the library should have been relying on as it's not part of | |
1095 | the concurrency guarantees. | |
1096 | ||
0b24855e JF |
1097 | * `git_remote_connect()` now takes a `custom_headers` argument to set |
1098 | the extra HTTP header fields to send. | |
1099 | ||
159061a8 | 1100 | v0.23 |
c8b64f70 CMN |
1101 | ------ |
1102 | ||
16bcf0c7 CMN |
1103 | ### Changes or improvements |
1104 | ||
70b0f128 JG |
1105 | * Patience and minimal diff drivers can now be used for merges. |
1106 | ||
1107 | * Merges can now ignore whitespace changes. | |
1108 | ||
0161e096 SS |
1109 | * Updated binary identification in CRLF filtering to avoid false positives in |
1110 | UTF-8 files. | |
1111 | ||
4d6f55ac ET |
1112 | * Rename and copy detection is enabled for small files. |
1113 | ||
96b82b11 ET |
1114 | * Checkout can now handle an initial checkout of a repository, making |
1115 | `GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE_CREATE` unnecessary for users of clone. | |
1116 | ||
659cf202 CMN |
1117 | * The signature parameter in the ref-modifying functions has been |
1118 | removed. Use `git_repository_set_ident()` and | |
1119 | `git_repository_ident()` to override the signature to be used. | |
1120 | ||
0ef54a63 CMN |
1121 | * The local transport now auto-scales the number of threads to use |
1122 | when creating the packfile instead of sticking to one. | |
1123 | ||
8acf058f CMN |
1124 | * Reference renaming now uses the right id for the old value. |
1125 | ||
1126 | * The annotated version of branch creation, HEAD detaching and reset | |
1127 | allow for specifying the expression from the user to be put into the | |
1128 | reflog. | |
1129 | ||
aa9bb425 | 1130 | * `git_rebase_commit` now returns `GIT_EUNMERGED` when you attempt to |
eaf0d688 ET |
1131 | commit with unstaged changes. |
1132 | ||
85247df0 | 1133 | * On Mac OS X, we now use SecureTransport to provide the cryptographic |
ca2466ff | 1134 | support for HTTPS connections insead of OpenSSL. |
85247df0 | 1135 | |
1f1f5c63 ET |
1136 | * Checkout can now accept an index for the baseline computations via the |
1137 | `baseline_index` member. | |
1138 | ||
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1139 | * The configuration for fetching is no longer stored inside the |
1140 | `git_remote` struct but has been moved to a `git_fetch_options`. The | |
1141 | remote functions now take these options or the callbacks instead of | |
1142 | setting them beforehand. | |
1143 | ||
ca2466ff CMN |
1144 | * `git_submodule` instances are no longer cached or shared across |
1145 | lookup. Each submodule represents the configuration at the time of | |
1146 | loading. | |
1147 | ||
874cc35a CMN |
1148 | * The index now uses diffs for `add_all()` and `update_all()` which |
1149 | gives it a speed boost and closer semantics to git. | |
1150 | ||
e3435673 CMN |
1151 | * The ssh transport now reports the stderr output from the server as |
1152 | the error message, which allows you to get the "repository not | |
1153 | found" messages. | |
1154 | ||
ecd60a56 ET |
1155 | * `git_index_conflict_add()` will remove staged entries that exist for |
1156 | conflicted paths. | |
b1ae3e53 | 1157 | |
10549a2d ET |
1158 | * The flags for a `git_diff_file` will now have the `GIT_DIFF_FLAG_EXISTS` |
1159 | bit set when a file exists on that side of the diff. This is useful | |
1160 | for understanding whether a side of the diff exists in the presence of | |
1161 | a conflict. | |
b1ae3e53 | 1162 | |
a5670d4f CMN |
1163 | * The constructor for a write-stream into the odb now takes |
1164 | `git_off_t` instead of `size_t` for the size of the blob, which | |
1165 | allows putting large files into the odb on 32-bit systems. | |
1166 | ||
771069e1 PS |
1167 | * The remote's push and pull URLs now honor the url.$URL.insteadOf |
1168 | configuration. This allows modifying URL prefixes to a custom | |
1169 | value via gitconfig. | |
1170 | ||
0e522f6e ET |
1171 | * `git_diff_foreach`, `git_diff_blobs`, `git_diff_blob_to_buffer`, |
1172 | and `git_diff_buffers` now accept a new binary callback of type | |
1173 | `git_diff_binary_cb` that includes the binary diff information. | |
1174 | ||
bb4896f2 CMN |
1175 | * The race condition mitigations described in `racy-git.txt` have been |
1176 | implemented. | |
1177 | ||
ede517bc CMN |
1178 | * If libcurl is installed, we will use it to connect to HTTP(S) |
1179 | servers. | |
1180 | ||
16bcf0c7 CMN |
1181 | ### API additions |
1182 | ||
70b0f128 JG |
1183 | * The `git_merge_options` gained a `file_flags` member. |
1184 | ||
eac773d9 CMN |
1185 | * Parsing and retrieving a configuration value as a path is exposed |
1186 | via `git_config_parse_path()` and `git_config_get_path()` | |
1187 | respectively. | |
1188 | ||
659cf202 CMN |
1189 | * `git_repository_set_ident()` and `git_repository_ident()` serve to |
1190 | set and query which identity will be used when writing to the | |
1191 | reflog. | |
1192 | ||
9a97f49e CMN |
1193 | * `git_config_entry_free()` frees a config entry. |
1194 | ||
1195 | * `git_config_get_string_buf()` provides a way to safely retrieve a | |
1196 | string from a non-snapshot configuration. | |
1197 | ||
8acf058f CMN |
1198 | * `git_annotated_commit_from_revspec()` allows to get an annotated |
1199 | commit from an extended sha synatx string. | |
1200 | ||
1201 | * `git_repository_set_head_detached_from_annotated()`, | |
1202 | `git_branch_create_from_annotated()` and | |
1203 | `git_reset_from_annotated()` allow for the caller to provide an | |
1204 | annotated commit through which they can control what expression is | |
1205 | put into the reflog as the source/target. | |
d578b45f | 1206 | |
a275fbc0 | 1207 | * `git_index_add_frombuffer()` can now create a blob from memory |
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1208 | buffer and add it to the index which is attached to a repository. |
1209 | ||
1210 | * The structure `git_fetch_options` has been added to determine the | |
1211 | runtime configuration for fetching, such as callbacks, pruning and | |
1212 | autotag behaviour. It has the runtime initializer | |
1213 | `git_fetch_init_options()`. | |
1214 | ||
1215 | * The enum `git_fetch_prune_t` has been added, letting you specify the | |
1216 | pruning behaviour for a fetch. | |
a275fbc0 | 1217 | |
a5670d4f CMN |
1218 | * A push operation will notify the caller of what updates it indends |
1219 | to perform on the remote, which provides similar information to | |
1220 | git's pre-push hook. | |
1221 | ||
15fdf054 ET |
1222 | * `git_stash_apply()` can now apply a stashed state from the stash list, |
1223 | placing the data into the working directory and index. | |
1224 | ||
1225 | * `git_stash_pop()` will apply a stashed state (like `git_stash_apply()`) | |
1226 | but will remove the stashed state after a successful application. | |
1227 | ||
1396c381 CMN |
1228 | * A new error code `GIT_EEOF` indicates an early EOF from the |
1229 | server. This typically indicates an error with the URL or | |
1230 | configuration of the server, and tools can use this to show messages | |
1231 | about failing to communicate with the server. | |
1232 | ||
3cf91d98 CMN |
1233 | * A new error code `GIT_EINVALID` indicates that an argument to a |
1234 | function is invalid, or an invalid operation was requested. | |
1235 | ||
7c948014 ET |
1236 | * `git_diff_index_to_workdir()` and `git_diff_tree_to_index()` will now |
1237 | produce deltas of type `GIT_DELTA_CONFLICTED` to indicate that the index | |
1238 | side of the delta is a conflict. | |
1239 | ||
1240 | * The `git_status` family of functions will now produce status of type | |
1241 | `GIT_STATUS_CONFLICTED` to indicate that a conflict exists for that file | |
1242 | in the index. | |
1243 | ||
9f545b9d ET |
1244 | * `git_index_entry_is_conflict()` is a utility function to determine if |
1245 | a given index entry has a non-zero stage entry, indicating that it is | |
1246 | one side of a conflict. | |
1247 | ||
a5670d4f CMN |
1248 | * It is now possible to pass a keypair via a buffer instead of a |
1249 | path. For this, `GIT_CREDTYPE_SSH_MEMORY` and | |
1250 | `git_cred_ssh_key_memory_new()` have been added. | |
1251 | ||
2eecc288 ET |
1252 | * `git_filter_list_contains` will indicate whether a particular |
1253 | filter will be run in the given filter list. | |
1254 | ||
a3f42fe8 CMN |
1255 | * `git_commit_header_field()` has been added, which allows retrieving |
1256 | the contents of an arbitrary header field. | |
1257 | ||
ca2466ff CMN |
1258 | * `git_submodule_set_branch()` allows to set the configured branch for |
1259 | a submodule. | |
1260 | ||
16bcf0c7 CMN |
1261 | ### API removals |
1262 | ||
9663d1bd | 1263 | * `git_remote_save()` and `git_remote_clear_refspecs()` have been |
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1264 | removed. Remote's configuration is changed via the configuration |
1265 | directly or through a convenience function which performs changes to | |
1266 | the configuration directly. | |
1267 | ||
1268 | * `git_remote_set_callbacks()`, `git_remote_get_callbacks()` and | |
9663d1bd | 1269 | `git_remote_set_transport()` have been removed and the remote no |
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1270 | longer stores this configuration. |
1271 | ||
70f7484d CMN |
1272 | * `git_remote_set_fetch_refpecs()` and |
1273 | `git_remote_set_push_refspecs()` have been removed. There is no | |
1274 | longer a way to set the base refspecs at run-time. | |
1275 | ||
ca2466ff CMN |
1276 | * `git_submodule_save()` has been removed. The submodules are no |
1277 | longer configured via the objects. | |
1278 | ||
34065968 CMN |
1279 | * `git_submodule_reload_all()` has been removed as we no longer cache |
1280 | submodules. | |
1281 | ||
16bcf0c7 CMN |
1282 | ### Breaking API changes |
1283 | ||
bf2ba529 JM |
1284 | * `git_smart_subtransport_cb` now has a `param` parameter. |
1285 | ||
70b0f128 JG |
1286 | * The `git_merge_options` structure member `flags` has been renamed |
1287 | to `tree_flags`. | |
1288 | ||
b8c50808 | 1289 | * The `git_merge_file_options` structure member `flags` is now |
70b0f128 JG |
1290 | an unsigned int. It was previously a `git_merge_file_flags_t`. |
1291 | ||
96b82b11 ET |
1292 | * `GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE_CREATE` has been removed. Most users will generally |
1293 | be able to switch to `GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE`, but if you require missing | |
1294 | file handling during checkout, you may now use `GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE | | |
1295 | GIT_CHECKOUT_RECREATE_MISSING`. | |
1296 | ||
41513659 CMN |
1297 | * The `git_clone_options` and `git_submodule_update_options` |
1298 | structures no longer have a `signature` field. | |
1299 | ||
1300 | * The following functions have removed the signature and/or log message | |
1301 | parameters in favour of git-emulating ones. | |
1302 | ||
1303 | * `git_branch_create()`, `git_branch_move()` | |
1304 | * `git_rebase_init()`, `git_rebase_abort()` | |
1305 | * `git_reference_symbolic_create_matching()`, | |
1306 | `git_reference_symbolic_create()`, `git_reference_create()`, | |
1307 | `git_reference_create_matching()`, | |
1308 | `git_reference_symbolic_set_target()`, | |
1309 | `git_reference_set_target()`, `git_reference_rename()` | |
1310 | * `git_remote_update_tips()`, `git_remote_fetch()`, `git_remote_push()` | |
1311 | * `git_repository_set_head()`, | |
1312 | `git_repository_set_head_detached()`, | |
1313 | `git_repository_detach_head()` | |
1314 | * `git_reset()` | |
1315 | ||
9a97f49e CMN |
1316 | * `git_config_get_entry()` now gives back a ref-counted |
1317 | `git_config_entry`. You must free it when you no longer need it. | |
1318 | ||
1319 | * `git_config_get_string()` will return an error if used on a | |
1320 | non-snapshot configuration, as there can be no guarantee that the | |
1321 | returned pointer is valid. | |
1322 | ||
385449b1 CMN |
1323 | * `git_note_default_ref()` now uses a `git_buf` to return the string, |
1324 | as the string is otherwise not guaranteed to stay allocated. | |
1325 | ||
30640aa9 ET |
1326 | * `git_rebase_operation_current()` will return `GIT_REBASE_NO_OPERATION` |
1327 | if it is called immediately after creating a rebase session but before | |
1328 | you have applied the first patch. | |
1329 | ||
a5670d4f CMN |
1330 | * `git_rebase_options` now contains a `git_checkout_options` struct |
1331 | that will be used for functions that modify the working directory, | |
88ab3be6 CMN |
1332 | namely `git_rebase_init`, `git_rebase_next` and |
1333 | `git_rebase_abort`. As a result, `git_rebase_open` now also takes | |
a5670d4f | 1334 | a `git_rebase_options` and only the `git_rebase_init` and |
f3a199dd ET |
1335 | `git_rebase_open` functions take a `git_rebase_options`, where they |
1336 | will persist the options to subsequent `git_rebase` calls. | |
1337 | ||
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1338 | * The `git_clone_options` struct now has fetch options in a |
1339 | `fetch_opts` field instead of remote callbacks in | |
1340 | `remote_callbacks`. | |
1341 | ||
a5670d4f CMN |
1342 | * The remote callbacks has gained a new member `push_negotiation` |
1343 | which gets called before sending the update commands to the server. | |
1344 | ||
ca2466ff | 1345 | * The following functions no longer act on a remote instance but |
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1346 | change the repository's configuration. Their signatures have changed |
1347 | accordingly: | |
1348 | ||
1349 | * `git_remote_set_url()`, `git_remote_seturl()` | |
1350 | * `git_remote_add_fetch()`, `git_remote_add_push()` and | |
1351 | * `git_remote_set_autotag()` | |
1352 | ||
1353 | * `git_remote_connect()` and `git_remote_prune()` now take a pointer | |
1354 | to the callbacks. | |
1355 | ||
9663d1bd | 1356 | * `git_remote_fetch()` and `git_remote_download()` now take a pointer |
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1357 | to fetch options which determine the runtime configuration. |
1358 | ||
1359 | * The `git_remote_autotag_option_t` values have been changed. It has | |
c2418f46 | 1360 | gained a `_UNSPECIFIED` default value to specify no override for the |
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1361 | configured setting. |
1362 | ||
1363 | * `git_remote_update_tips()` now takes a pointer to the callbacks as | |
1364 | well as a boolean whether to write `FETCH_HEAD` and the autotag | |
1365 | setting. | |
1366 | ||
ae5b9362 CMN |
1367 | * `git_remote_create_anonymous()` no longer takes a fetch refspec as |
1368 | url-only remotes cannot have configured refspecs. | |
1369 | ||
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1370 | * The `git_submodule_update_options` struct now has fetch options in |
1371 | the `fetch_opts` field instead of callbacks in the | |
1372 | `remote_callbacks` field. | |
1373 | ||
ca2466ff CMN |
1374 | * The following functions no longer act on a submodule instance but |
1375 | change the repository's configuration. Their signatures have changed | |
1376 | accordingly: | |
1377 | ||
1378 | * `git_submodule_set_url()`, `git_submodule_set_ignore()`, | |
1379 | `git_submodule_set_update()`, | |
1380 | `git_submodule_set_fetch_recurse_submodules()`. | |
1381 | ||
1382 | * `git_submodule_status()` no longer takes a submodule instance but a | |
1383 | repsitory, a submodule name and an ignore setting. | |
1384 | ||
b1ae3e53 CMN |
1385 | * The `push` function in the `git_transport` interface now takes a |
1386 | pointer to the remote callbacks. | |
1387 | ||
98270f56 CMN |
1388 | * The `git_index_entry` struct's fields' types have been changed to |
1389 | more accurately reflect what is in fact stored in the | |
1390 | index. Specifically, time and file size are 32 bits intead of 64, as | |
1391 | these values are truncated. | |
1392 | ||
885b94aa ET |
1393 | * `GIT_EMERGECONFLICT` is now `GIT_ECONFLICT`, which more accurately |
1394 | describes the nature of the error. | |
1395 | ||
3cf91d98 CMN |
1396 | * It is no longer allowed to call `git_buf_grow()` on buffers |
1397 | borrowing the memory they point to. | |
1398 | ||
c8b64f70 | 1399 | v0.22 |
d30447cb CMN |
1400 | ------ |
1401 | ||
b91f28be | 1402 | ### Changes or improvements |
e1fc03c9 | 1403 | |
b91f28be | 1404 | * `git_signature_new()` now requires a non-empty email address. |
274c3fa6 | 1405 | |
b91f28be | 1406 | * Use CommonCrypto libraries for SHA-1 calculation on Mac OS X. |
d412165f | 1407 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1408 | * Disable SSL compression and SSLv2 and SSLv3 ciphers in favor of TLSv1 |
1409 | in OpenSSL. | |
d412165f | 1410 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1411 | * The fetch behavior of remotes with autotag set to `GIT_REMOTE_DOWNLOAD_TAGS_ALL` |
1412 | has been changed to match git 1.9.0 and later. In this mode, libgit2 now | |
1413 | fetches all tags in addition to whatever else needs to be fetched. | |
c180c065 | 1414 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1415 | * `git_checkout()` now handles case-changing renames correctly on |
1416 | case-insensitive filesystems; for example renaming "readme" to "README". | |
7449c82e | 1417 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1418 | * The search for libssh2 is now done via pkg-config instead of a |
1419 | custom search of a few directories. | |
3753110a | 1420 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1421 | * Add support for core.protectHFS and core.protectNTFS. Add more |
1422 | validation for filenames which we write such as references. | |
5192bcc5 | 1423 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1424 | * The local transport now generates textual progress output like |
1425 | git-upload-pack does ("counting objects"). | |
c180c065 | 1426 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1427 | * `git_checkout_index()` can now check out an in-memory index that is not |
1428 | necessarily the repository's index, so you may check out an index | |
1429 | that was produced by git_merge and friends while retaining the cached | |
1430 | information. | |
1697cd6f | 1431 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1432 | * Remove the default timeout for receiving / sending data over HTTP using |
1433 | the WinHTTP transport layer. | |
d4256ed5 | 1434 | |
b91f28be | 1435 | * Add SPNEGO (Kerberos) authentication using GSSAPI on Unix systems. |
46c8f7f8 | 1436 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1437 | * Provide built-in objects for the empty blob (e69de29) and empty |
1438 | tree (4b825dc) objects. | |
262eec23 | 1439 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1440 | * The index' tree cache is now filled upon read-tree and write-tree |
1441 | and the cache is written to disk. | |
0862f617 | 1442 | |
b91f28be | 1443 | * LF -> CRLF filter refuses to handle mixed-EOL files |
1697cd6f | 1444 | |
b91f28be | 1445 | * LF -> CRLF filter now runs when * text = auto (with Git for Windows 1.9.4) |
1697cd6f | 1446 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1447 | * File unlocks are atomic again via rename. Read-only files on Windows are |
1448 | made read-write if necessary. | |
d58a64e9 | 1449 | |
b91f28be | 1450 | * Share open packfiles across repositories to share descriptors and mmaps. |
6812afaf | 1451 | |
b91f28be | 1452 | * Use a map for the treebuilder, making insertion O(1) |
2cd3cb8e | 1453 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1454 | * The build system now accepts an option EMBED_SSH_PATH which when set |
1455 | tells it to include a copy of libssh2 at the given location. This is | |
1456 | enabled for MSVC. | |
9fef46de CMN |
1457 | |
1458 | * Add support for refspecs with the asterisk in the middle of a | |
1459 | pattern. | |
7db0e6ee | 1460 | |
c5837cad CMN |
1461 | * Fetching now performs opportunistic updates. To achieve this, we |
1462 | introduce a difference between active and passive refspecs, which | |
b91f28be | 1463 | make `git_remote_download()` and `git_remote_fetch()` to take a list of |
c5837cad CMN |
1464 | resfpecs to be the active list, similarly to how git fetch accepts a |
1465 | list on the command-line. | |
1466 | ||
b91f28be CMN |
1467 | * The THREADSAFE option to build libgit2 with threading support has |
1468 | been flipped to be on by default. | |
209425ce | 1469 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1470 | * The remote object has learnt to prune remote-tracking branches. If |
1471 | the remote is configured to do so, this will happen via | |
1472 | `git_remote_fetch()`. You can also call `git_remote_prune()` after | |
1473 | connecting or fetching to perform the prune. | |
1474 | ||
1475 | ||
1476 | ### API additions | |
d524b2d3 | 1477 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1478 | * Introduce `git_buf_text_is_binary()` and `git_buf_text_contains_nul()` for |
1479 | consumers to perform binary detection on a git_buf. | |
1480 | ||
1481 | * `git_branch_upstream_remote()` has been introduced to provide the | |
1482 | branch.<name>.remote configuration value. | |
1483 | ||
1484 | * Introduce `git_describe_commit()` and `git_describe_workdir()` to provide | |
1485 | a description of the current commit (and working tree, respectively) | |
1486 | based on the nearest tag or reference | |
1487 | ||
1488 | * Introduce `git_merge_bases()` and the `git_oidarray` type to expose all | |
7db0e6ee | 1489 | merge bases between two commits. |
eca07bcd | 1490 | |
b91f28be | 1491 | * Introduce `git_merge_bases_many()` to expose all merge bases between |
eca07bcd | 1492 | multiple commits. |
67917281 | 1493 | |
67917281 | 1494 | * Introduce rebase functionality (using the merge algorithm only). |
b91f28be CMN |
1495 | Introduce `git_rebase_init()` to begin a new rebase session, |
1496 | `git_rebase_open()` to open an in-progress rebase session, | |
1497 | `git_rebase_commit()` to commit the current rebase operation, | |
1498 | `git_rebase_next()` to apply the next rebase operation, | |
1499 | `git_rebase_abort()` to abort an in-progress rebase and `git_rebase_finish()` | |
67917281 ET |
1500 | to complete a rebase operation. |
1501 | ||
b91f28be CMN |
1502 | * Introduce `git_note_author()` and `git_note_committer()` to get the author |
1503 | and committer information on a `git_note`, respectively. | |
79b0ae4e | 1504 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1505 | * A factory function for ssh has been added which allows to change the |
1506 | path of the programs to execute for receive-pack and upload-pack on | |
1507 | the server, `git_transport_ssh_with_paths()`. | |
21083a71 | 1508 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1509 | * The ssh transport supports asking the remote host for accepted |
1510 | credential types as well as multiple challeges using a single | |
1511 | connection. This requires to know which username you want to connect | |
1512 | as, so this introduces the USERNAME credential type which the ssh | |
1513 | transport will use to ask for the username. | |
d88766c4 | 1514 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1515 | * The `GIT_EPEEL` error code has been introduced when we cannot peel a tag |
1516 | to the requested object type; if the given object otherwise cannot be | |
1517 | peeled, `GIT_EINVALIDSPEC` is returned. | |
68182085 | 1518 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1519 | * Introduce `GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_RELATIVE_GITLINK` to use relative paths |
1520 | when writing gitlinks, as is used by git core for submodules. | |
e284c451 | 1521 | |
b91f28be | 1522 | * `git_remote_prune()` has been added. See above for description. |
799e22ea | 1523 | |
8aba3d47 | 1524 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1525 | * Introduce reference transactions, which allow multiple references to |
1526 | be locked at the same time and updates be queued. This also allows | |
1527 | us to safely update a reflog with arbitrary contents, as we need to | |
1528 | do for stash. | |
6d91dc53 | 1529 | |
b91f28be | 1530 | ### API removals |
dce7b1a4 | 1531 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1532 | * `git_remote_supported_url()` and `git_remote_is_valid_url()` have been |
1533 | removed as they have become essentially useless with rsync-style ssh paths. | |
1534 | ||
1535 | * `git_clone_into()` and `git_clone_local_into()` have been removed from the | |
1536 | public API in favour of `git_clone callbacks`. | |
1537 | ||
1538 | * The option to ignore certificate errors via `git_remote_cert_check()` | |
1539 | is no longer present. Instead, `git_remote_callbacks` has gained a new | |
1540 | entry which lets the user perform their own certificate checks. | |
1541 | ||
1542 | ### Breaking API changes | |
208a2c8a | 1543 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1544 | * `git_cherry_pick()` is now `git_cherrypick()`. |
1545 | ||
1546 | * The `git_submodule_update()` function was renamed to | |
1547 | `git_submodule_update_strategy()`. `git_submodule_update()` is now used to | |
1548 | provide functionalty similar to "git submodule update". | |
1549 | ||
1550 | * `git_treebuilder_create()` was renamed to `git_treebuilder_new()` to better | |
208a2c8a CMN |
1551 | reflect it being a constructor rather than something which writes to |
1552 | disk. | |
40d79154 | 1553 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1554 | * `git_treebuilder_new()` (was `git_treebuilder_create()`) now takes a |
1555 | repository so that it can query repository configuration. | |
1556 | Subsequently, `git_treebuilder_write()` no longer takes a repository. | |
aad27e6e | 1557 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1558 | * `git_threads_init()` and `git_threads_shutdown()` have been renamed to |
1559 | `git_libgit2_init()` and `git_libgit2_shutdown()` to better explain what | |
1560 | their purpose is, as it's grown to be more than just about threads. | |
aad27e6e | 1561 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1562 | * `git_libgit2_init()` and `git_libgit2_shutdown()` now return the number of |
1563 | initializations of the library, so consumers may schedule work on the | |
1564 | first initialization. | |
aad27e6e | 1565 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1566 | * The `git_transport_register()` function no longer takes a priority and takes |
1567 | a URL scheme name (eg "http") instead of a prefix like "http://" | |
aad27e6e | 1568 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1569 | * `git_index_name_entrycount()` and `git_index_reuc_entrycount()` now |
1570 | return size_t instead of unsigned int. | |
9d1f97df | 1571 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1572 | * The `context_lines` and `interhunk_lines` fields in `git_diff`_options are |
1573 | now `uint32_t` instead of `uint16_t`. This allows to set them to `UINT_MAX`, | |
1574 | in effect asking for "infinite" context e.g. to iterate over all the | |
1575 | unmodified lines of a diff. | |
974d21c8 | 1576 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1577 | * `git_status_file()` now takes an exact path. Use `git_status_list_new()` if |
1578 | pathspec searching is needed. | |
974d21c8 | 1579 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1580 | * `git_note_create()` has changed the position of the notes reference |
1581 | name to match `git_note_remove()`. | |

1583 | * Rename `git_remote_load()` to `git_remote_lookup()` to bring it in line |
1584 | with the rest of the lookup functions. | |
974d21c8 | 1585 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1586 | * `git_remote_rename()` now takes the repository and the remote's |
1587 | current name. Accepting a remote indicates we want to change it, | |
1588 | which we only did partially. It is much clearer if we accept a name | |
1589 | and no loaded objects are changed. | |
974d21c8 | 1590 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1591 | * `git_remote_delete()` now accepts the repository and the remote's name |
1592 | instead of a loaded remote. | |
974d21c8 | 1593 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1594 | * `git_merge_head` is now `git_annotated_commit`, to better reflect its usage |
1595 | for multiple functions (including rebase) | |
974d21c8 | 1596 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1597 | * The `git_clone_options` struct no longer provides the `ignore_cert_errors` or |
1598 | `remote_name` members for remote customization. | |
974d21c8 | 1599 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1600 | Instead, the `git_clone_options` struct has two new members, `remote_cb` and |
1601 | `remote_cb_payload`, which allow the caller to completely override the remote | |
1602 | creation process. If needed, the caller can use this callback to give their | |
1603 | remote a name other than the default (origin) or disable cert checking. | |
974d21c8 | 1604 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1605 | The `remote_callbacks` member has been preserved for convenience, although it |
1606 | is not used when a remote creation callback is supplied. | |
974d21c8 | 1607 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1608 | * The `git_clone`_options struct now provides `repository_cb` and |
1609 | `repository_cb_payload` to allow the user to create a repository with | |
1610 | custom options. | |
974d21c8 | 1611 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1612 | * The `git_push` struct to perform a push has been replaced with |
1613 | `git_remote_upload()`. The refspecs and options are passed as a | |
1614 | function argument. `git_push_update_tips()` is now also | |
1615 | `git_remote_update_tips()` and the callbacks are in the same struct as | |
1616 | the rest. | |
974d21c8 | 1617 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1618 | * The `git_remote_set_transport()` function now sets a transport factory function, |
1619 | rather than a pre-existing transport instance. | |
61cd037e | 1620 | |
b91f28be CMN |
1621 | * The `git_transport` structure definition has moved into the sys/transport.h |
1622 | file. | |
1623 | ||
1624 | * libgit2 no longer automatically sets the OpenSSL locking | |
1625 | functions. This is not something which we can know to do. A | |
1626 | last-resort convenience function is provided in sys/openssl.h, | |
1627 | `git_openssl_set_locking()` which can be used to set the locking. |
