v0.27
---------
### Changes or improvements
* Improved `p_unlink` in `posix_w32.c` to try and make a file writable
before sleeping in the retry loop to prevent unnecessary calls to sleep.
* The CMake build infrastructure has been improved to speed up building time.
* A new CMake option "-DUSE_HTTPS=<backend>" makes it possible to explicitly
choose an HTTP backend.
* A new CMake option "-DSHA1_BACKEND=<backend>" makes it possible to explicitly
choose an SHA1 backend. The collision-detecting backend is now the default.
* A new CMake option "-DUSE_BUNDLED_ZLIB" makes it possible to explicitly use
the bundled zlib library.
* A new CMake option "-DENABLE_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILDS" makes it possible to
generate a reproducible static archive. This requires support from your
toolchain.
* The minimum required CMake version has been bumped to 2.8.11.
* Writing to a configuration file now preserves the case of the key given by the
caller for the case-insensitive portions of the key (existing sections are
used even if they don't match).
* We now support conditional includes in configuration files.
* Fix for handling re-reading of configuration files with includes.
* Fix for reading patches which contain exact renames only.
* Fix for reading patches with whitespace in the compared files' paths.
* We will now fill `FETCH_HEAD` from all passed refspecs instead of overwriting
with the last one.
* There is a new diff option, `GIT_DIFF_INDENT_HEURISTIC` which activates a
heuristic which takes into account whitespace and indentation in order to
produce better diffs when dealing with ambiguous diff hunks.
* Fix for pattern-based ignore rules where files ignored by a rule cannot be
un-ignored by another rule.
* Sockets opened by libgit2 are now being closed on exec(3) if the platform
supports it.
* Fix for peeling annotated tags from packed-refs files.
* Fix reading huge loose objects from the object database.
* Fix files not being treated as modified when only the file mode has changed.
* We now explicitly reject adding submodules to the index via
`git_index_add_frombuffer`.
* Fix handling of `GIT_DIFF_FIND_RENAMES_FROM_REWRITES` raising `SIGABRT` when
one file has been deleted and another file has been rewritten.
* Fix for WinHTTP not properly handling NTLM and Negotiate challenges.
* When using SSH-based transports, we now repeatedly ask for the passphrase to
decrypt the private key in case a wrong passphrase is being provided.
* When generating conflict markers, they will now use the same line endings as
the rest of the file.
### API additions
* The `git_merge_file_options` structure now contains a new setting,
`marker_size`. This allows users to set the size of markers that
delineate the sides of merged files in the output conflict file.
By default this is 7 (`GIT_MERGE_CONFLICT_MARKER_SIZE`), which
produces output markers like `<<<<<<<` and `>>>>>>>`.
* `git_remote_create_detached()` creates a remote that is not associated
to any repository (and does not apply configuration like 'insteadof' rules).
This is mostly useful for e.g. emulating `git ls-remote` behavior.
* `git_diff_patchid()` lets you generate patch IDs for diffs.
* `git_status_options` now has an additional field `baseline` to allow creating
status lists against different trees.
* New family of functions to allow creating notes for a specific notes commit
instead of for a notes reference.
* New family of functions to allow parsing message trailers. This API is still
experimental and may change in future releases.
### API removals
### Breaking API changes
* Signatures now distinguish between +0000 and -0000 UTC offsets.
* The certificate check callback in the WinHTTP transport will now receive the
`message_cb_payload` instead of the `cred_acquire_payload`.
* We are now reading symlinked directories under .git/refs.
* We now refuse creating branches named "HEAD".
* We now refuse reading and writing all-zero object IDs into the
object database.
* We now read the effective user's configuration file instead of the real user's
configuration in case libgit2 runs as part of a setuid binary.
* The `git_odb_open_rstream` function and its `readstream` callback in the
`git_odb_backend` interface have changed their signatures to allow providing
the object's size and type to the caller.
0.8.1 - 2018-03-13
------------------
- Previous attempts to sanitize cassette names were incomplete.
Sanitization has become more thorough which could have some affects on
existing cassette files. **This may cause new cassettes to be generated.**
- Fix bug where there may be an exception raised in a
``betamax.exceptions.BetamaxError`` repr.
