|
| 1 | +v1.9.0 |
| 2 | +------ |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +This is release v1.9.0, "Schwibbogen". As usual, it contains numerous |
| 5 | +bug fixes, compatibility improvements, and new features. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This is expected to be the final release in the libgit2 v1.x lineage. |
| 8 | +libgit2 v2.0 is expected to be the next version, with support for |
| 9 | +SHA256 moving to "supported" status (out of "experimental" status). |
| 10 | +This means that v2.0 will have API and ABI changes to support SHA256. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Major changes |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +* **Documentation improvements** |
| 15 | + We've launched a new website for our API reference docs at |
| 16 | + https://libgit2.org/docs/reference/main/. To support this, |
| 17 | + we've updated the documentation to ensure that all APIs are |
| 18 | + well-documented, and added docurium-style specifiers to indicate |
| 19 | + more depth about the API surface. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + We now also publish a JSON blob with the API structure and the |
| 22 | + documentation that may be helpful for binding authors. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +* **TLS cipher updates** |
| 25 | + libgit2 has updated our TLS cipher selection to match the |
| 26 | + "compatibility" cipher suite settings as [documented by |
| 27 | + Mozilla](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS). |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +* **Blame improvements** |
| 30 | + The blame API now contains committer information and commit summaries |
| 31 | + for blame hunks, and the ability to get information about the line of |
| 32 | + text that was modified. In addition, a CLI blame command has been added |
| 33 | + so that the blame functionality can be benchmarked by our benchmark |
| 34 | + suite. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +* **SONAME changed** |
| 37 | + libgit2 will now properly update its SONAME version information when |
| 38 | + ABI chnages occur. We hope that by correcting this oversight, users |
| 39 | + and distribution vendors, will be able to integrate new versions of |
| 40 | + libgit2 more easily. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## Breaking changes |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +There are several ABI-breaking changes that integrators, particularly |
| 45 | +maintainers of bindings or FFI users, may want to be aware of. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +* **Blame hunk structure updates** (ABI breaking change) |
| 48 | + There are numerous additions to the `git_blame_hunk` structure to |
| 49 | + accommodate more information about the blame process. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +* **Checkout strategy updates** (ABI breaking change) |
| 52 | + The values for `GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE` and `GIT_CHECKOUT_NONE` have been |
| 53 | + updated. `GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE` is now `0`; this was implicitly the |
| 54 | + default value (with the options constructors setting that as the |
| 55 | + checkout strategy). It is now the default if the checkout strategy |
| 56 | + is set to `0`. This allows for an overall code simplification in the |
| 57 | + library. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +* **Configuration entry member removal** (ABI breaking change) |
| 60 | + The `git_config_entry` structure no longer contains a `free` member; |
| 61 | + this was an oversight as end-users should not try to free that |
| 62 | + structure. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +* **Configuration backend function changes** (ABI breaking change) |
| 65 | + `git_config_backend`s should now return `git_config_backend_entry` |
| 66 | + objects instead of `git_config_entry` objects. This allows backends |
| 67 | + to provide a mechanism to nicely free the configuration entries that |
| 68 | + they provide. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +## Future Changes |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +We're preparing for libgit2 v2.0, and this is expected to be |
| 73 | +the last feature-release for the libgit2 v1.0 release line. We |
| 74 | +will introduce a number of breaking changes in v2.0: |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +* **SHA256 support** |
| 77 | + Adding SHA256 support will change the API and ABI. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +* **TLS v1.2 as a minimum** |
| 80 | + libgit2 will remove support for HTTPS versions prior to TLS v1.2 and |
| 81 | + will update to the "intermediate" settings [documented by |
| 82 | + Mozilla](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS). |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +* Removing the chromium zlib built-in |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +* Removing the libssh2 embedded build system |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +## What's Changed |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### New features |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +* The `git_signature_default_from_env` API will now produce a pair |
| 93 | + of `git_signature`s representing the author, and the committer, |
| 94 | + taking the `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME` and `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME` environment |
| 95 | + variables into account. Added by @u-quark in |
| 96 | + https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6706 |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +* packbuilder can now be interrupted from a callback. Added @roberth |
| 99 | + in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6874 |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +* libgit2 now claims to honor the `preciousObject` repository extension. |
| 102 | + This extension indicates that the client will never delete objects |
| 103 | + (in other words, will not garbage collect). libgit2 has no functionality |
| 104 | + to remove objects, so it implicitly obeys this in all cases. Added |
| 105 | + by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6886 |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +* Push status will be reported even when a push fails. This is useful |
| 108 | + to give information from the server about possible updates, even when |
| 109 | + the overall status failed. Added by @yerseg in |
| 110 | + https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6876 |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +* You can now generate a thin pack from a mempack instance using |
| 113 | + `git_mempack_write_thin_pack`. Added by @roberth in |
| 114 | + https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6875 |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +* The new `LIBGIT2_VERSION_CHECK` macro will indicate whether the version |
| 117 | + of libgit2 being compiled against is at least the version specified. |
| 118 | + For example: `#if LIBGIT2_VERSION_CHECK(1, 6, 3)` is true for libgit2 |
| 119 | + version 1.6.3 or newer. In addition, the new `LIBGIT2_VERSION_NUMBER` |
| 120 | + macro will return an integer version representing the libgit2 version |
| 121 | + number. For example, for version 1.6.3, `LIBGIT2_VERSION_NUMBER` will |
| 122 | + evaluate to `010603`. Added by @HamedMasafi in |
| 123 | + https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6882 |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +* Custom X509 certificates can be added to OpenSSL's certificate store |
| 126 | + using the `GIT_OPT_ADD_SSL_X509_CERT` option. Added by @yerseg in |
| 127 | + https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6877 |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +* The libgit2 compatibility CLI now has a `git blame` command. Added by |
| 130 | + @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6907 |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +* Remote callbacks now provide an `update_refs` callback so that users |
| 133 | + can now get the `refspec` of the updated reference during push. This |
| 134 | + gives more complete information about the remote reference that was |
| 135 | + updated. Added by @ethomson in |
| 136 | + https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6559 |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +* An optional FIPS-compliant mode for hashing is now available; you |
| 139 | + can set `-DUSE_SHA256=OpenSSL-FIPS` to enable it. Added by @marcind-dot |
| 140 | + in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6906 |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +* The git-compatible CLI now supports the `git init` command, which has |
| 143 | + been useful in identifying API improvements and incompatibilities with |
| 144 | + git. Added by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6984 |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +* Consumers can now query more information about how libgit2 was |
| 147 | + compiled, and query the "backends" that libgit2 uses. Added by |
| 148 | + @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6971 |
| 149 | + |
