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.
