Patrick Steinhardt 7a6c4122 2020-04-01T16:15:38 README.md: update build matrix to reflect our latest releases
Patrick Steinhardt 87fc539f 2020-03-13T22:08:19 cmake: use install directories provided via GNUInstallDirs We currently hand-code logic to configure where to install our artifacts via the `LIB_INSTALL_DIR`, `INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR` and `BIN_INSTALL_DIR` variables. This is reinventing the wheel, as CMake already provide a way to do that via `CMAKE_INSTALL_<DIR>` paths, e.g. `CMAKE_INSTALL_LIB`. This requires users of libgit2 to know about the discrepancy and will require special hacks for any build systems that handle these variables in an automated way. One such example is Gentoo Linux, which sets up these paths in both the cmake and cmake-utils eclass. So let's stop doing that: the GNUInstallDirs module handles it in a better way for us, especially so as the actual values are dependent on CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. This commit removes our own set of variables and instead refers users to use the standard ones. As a second benefit, this commit also fixes our pkgconfig generation to use the GNUInstallDirs module. We had a bug there where we ignored the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when configuring the libdir and includedir keys, so if libdir was set to "lib64", then libdir would be an invalid path. With GNUInstallDirs, we can now use `CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBDIR`, which handles the prefix for us.
Peter Salomonsen d91c6eda 2020-02-23T18:26:47 README: add language binding link to wasm-git
Patrick Steinhardt add54e6c 2020-02-19T11:31:01 README: update our build matrix to reflect current releases As noted in docs/release.md, we only provide security updates for the latest two releases. Let's thus drop the build status of both v0.27 and v0.26 branches, adding the new v0.99 branch instead.
ayush-1506 103a76b4 2020-01-30T17:58:43 Update link to Julia libgit2

Patrick Steinhardt 62bbec5a 2019-05-24T11:09:51 SECURITY.md: split out security-relevant bits from readme GitHub has recently introduced a new set of tools that aims to ease the process around vulnerability reports and security fixes. Part of those tools is a new security tab for projects that will display contents from a new SECURITY.md file. Move relevant parts from README.md to this new file to make use of this feature.
Dominik Ritter 1fd0903a 2019-03-05T18:47:45 Update URL to git2-rs
Edward Thomson 6f778351 2019-02-13T11:15:12 README: use correct badge for nightlies The URL was incorrect for the nightly badge image; it was erroneously showing the master branch continuous integration build badge.
Edward Thomson f34faaa8 2019-02-12T16:45:57 README: include build badge for v0.28 builds Include a build badge for `maint/v0.28` builds.
Edward Thomson 52a97eed 2019-01-28T12:16:50 ci: add coverity badge to the README
Edward Thomson a74dd39b 2019-01-09T12:33:47 Use cdecl calling conventions on Win32 The recommendation from engineers within Microsoft is that libraries should have a calling convention specified in the public API, and that calling convention should be cdecl unless there are strong reasons to use a different calling convention. We previously offered end-users the choice between cdecl and stdcall calling conventions. We did this for presumed wider compatibility: most Windows applications will use cdecl, but C# and PInvoke default to stdcall for WINAPI compatibility. (On Windows, the standard library functions are are stdcall so PInvoke also defaults to stdcall.) However, C# and PInvoke can easily call cdecl APIs by specifying an annotation. Thus, we will explicitly declare ourselves cdecl and remove the option to build as stdcall.
Edward Thomson 3176d9b4 2018-09-22T19:58:37 README: add maint/v0.26 branch status

Edward Thomson e2613039 2018-09-18T13:52:08 README: rename "VSTS" to "Azure DevOps" Visual Studio Team Services is now a family of applications named "Azure DevOps". Update the README to refer to it thusly.
Edward Thomson 464305b7 2018-09-18T13:51:25 README: update the build badge to Azure Pipelines VSTS is now a family of components; "Azure Pipelines" is the build and release pipeline application.
Edward Thomson 76cfeb20 2018-09-03T19:27:30 README: remove travis
Edward Thomson 658b8e8a 2018-08-09T09:39:39 readme: remove appveyor build badge

Patrick Steinhardt 432dfda0 2018-03-22T09:32:28 README.md: detail how to list all build options We do not list all build options inside of the README.md, and we definitly shouldn't do so. But in order to help people discover what can be configured, add instructions on how to have CMake generate the list of all knobs together with their current value.
Patrick Steinhardt faf2629a 2018-03-22T09:27:18 README.md: fix link to `test_index_racy__diff` The syntax for links is `[description](link)z, not the other way round. Fix this.
Patrick Steinhardt 68a3c0b1 2018-03-22T09:20:43 docs: reorganize documents Our non-technical documents are currently floating around loosely in our project's root, making it harden than necessary to discover what one is searching for. We do have a "docs/" directory, though, which serves exactly that purpose of hosting documentation. Move our non-technical documentation into the "docs/" directory. Adjust all links to these documents.
Patrick Steinhardt 8f96cf9a 2018-03-22T09:13:18 README.md: add table of contents By now, our README has grown quite long, and at multiple occassions people were unable to find the correct spot in our documentation. Add a table of contents to at least present an overview over all topics that are being covered by our README.
Patrick Steinhardt 699a48f8 2018-01-29T07:41:54 README.md: add notes on how to report security issues

Edward Thomson c5d8682f 2017-11-12T14:47:11 README: clarify why one would run libgit2_clar Since we recommend `ctest -V`, it's not clear why somebody would want to run `libgit2_clar`. Indicate that it's helpful when running individual tests or suites.
Edward Thomson 9e91a989 2017-11-12T13:05:59 README: provide quick start paragraph Provide a very simple quick start paragraph that highlights how easy it is to get started, and points people toward common problems.
Edward Thomson dc985353 2017-11-12T12:03:21 README: drop VS command shell instructions Users should not be advised to use the VS command prompt; instead, they should let cmake find their Visual Studio installation.
Edward Thomson b2d54cfa 2017-11-12T11:59:56 README: suggest `ctest -V` for getting started Suggest that users run `ctest -V` instead of `make test` when getting started. `ctest -V` is superior over alternatives as: 1. Unlike `make test`, it gives output. Users getting started with the library believe that it is hung. 2. `ctest -V` shows verbose output; showing suite names is helpful for giving users more feedback immediately.
Mathieu Othacehe b4e0d293 2017-09-09T09:54:58 README: Mention Guile-Git bindings.
Edward Thomson 1e27b89f 2017-05-11T13:56:55 Update README: VS -> VSTS libgit2 is no longer used in Visual Studio Team Services, it's used in Visual Studio Team Services.
Patrick Steinhardt 19a04f67 2017-04-10T12:01:28 README: document our relation to changes in upstream libgit2 is a mere consumer of changes which are trickling down from the upstream git.git project. This commit documents the ramifications caused by this relation.

Yong Li 57aa839c 2015-05-04T09:41:34 Android build doesn't need deps/regex deps/regex was included in Android build because Android NDK 4 has a packaging bug and doesn't have the regular expression functions defined in its libc.so. The bug has been fixed in subsequent Android NDK releases. If it is still necessary to work around the bug in Android NDK 4, we should consider to use an option like ANDROID_NDK_RELEASE or ANDROID_NDK_RELEASE_NUM.

Carlos Martín Nieto 15bea02c 2014-10-31T11:24:02 docs: explicitly document the threading caveats Talk about sharing objects and error messages; but the most important part is about what to do with the cryptographic libraries, which sadly have to become to responsibility of the application.
Carlos Martín Nieto 79b0ae4e 2014-10-27T10:30:57 Flip THREADSAFE's default to ON Threads are here to stay; and for a while now, users have had to call the initialization function which sets up threads and crypto regardless of whether the library was built threadsafe or not.

Haneef Mubarak 20b5d300 2013-10-17T00:28:08 slightly clarified the "license" portion of `README.md" + formatting all over There are commercial open source applications, hence proprietary seems to be a better term. Also: - Trimmed header `=`'s to match text length - made libgit2 stand out everywhere - pretty printing links - irc link for those with the correct setup
