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. + +* 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 -* 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 `>>>>>>>`. +* 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. v0.26 ----- |
