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.
