libgit2 v0.14.0, "watermelon wheat"
This a very packed minor release. The usual guilty parties have been working harder than usual during the holidays -- thanks to everyone involved! As always, the updated API docs can be found at: http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2/ NEW FEATURES: - New OS abstraction layer. This should make all POSIX calls much more reliable under Windows. - Much faster writes of simple objects (commits, tags, trees) to the ODB via in-memory buffering and direct writes, instead of streaming. - Unified & simplified API for object creation. All the `create` methods now take Objects instead of OIDs to ensure that corrupted (dangling) objects cannot be created on the repository. - Fully Git-compilant reference renaming (finally!), with the already existing `git_reference_rename`. - Deletion of config keys with `git_config_delete` - Greatly improved index performance when adding new entries - Reflog support with the `git_reflog` API - Remotes support with the `git_remote` API - First parts of the Networking API, including refspecs and the transport abstraction layer. (Note that there are no actual transports implemented yet) - Status support with the `git_status_foreach` and `git_status_file` functions. - Tons of bugfixes, including the outstanding bug #127 (wrong sort ordering when querying tree entries). KNOWN ISSUES: - The reference renaming code leaks memory. This is being worked on as part of a reference handling overhaul. - The tree-from-index builder has abysmal performance because it doesn't handle the Treecache extension yet. This is also being worked on.
