v0.24
-------
### Changes or improvements
* Custom filters can now be registered with wildcard attributes, for
example `filter=*`. Consumers should examine the attributes parameter
of the `check` function for details.
* Symlinks are now followed when locking a file, which can be
necessary when multiple worktrees share a base repository.
* You can now set your own user-agent to be sent for HTTP requests by
using the `GIT_OPT_SET_USER_AGENT` with `git_libgit2_opts()`.
* You can set custom HTTP header fields to be sent along with requests
by passing them in the fetch and push options.
* Tree objects are now assumed to be sorted. If a tree is not
correctly formed, it will give bad results. This is the git approach
and cuts a significant amount of time when reading the trees.
* Filter registration is now protected against concurrent
registration.
* Filenames which are not valid on Windows in an index no longer cause
to fail to parse it on that OS.
* Rebases can now be performed purely in-memory, without touching the
repository's workdir.
* When adding objects to the index, or when creating new tree or commit
objects, the inputs are validated to ensure that the dependent objects
exist and are of the correct type. This object validation can be
disabled with the GIT_OPT_ENABLE_STRICT_OBJECT_CREATION option.
* The WinHTTP transport's handling of bad credentials now behaves like
the others, asking for credentials again.
### API additions
* `git_config_lock()` has been added, which allow for
transactional/atomic complex updates to the configuration, removing
the opportunity for concurrent operations and not committing any
changes until the unlock.
* `git_diff_options` added a new callback `progress_cb` to report on the
progress of the diff as files are being compared. The documentation of
the existing callback `notify_cb` was updated to reflect that it only
gets called when new deltas are added to the diff.
* `git_fetch_options` and `git_push_options` have gained a `custom_headers`
field to set the extra HTTP header fields to send.
* `git_stream_register_tls()` lets you register a callback to be used
as the constructor for a TLS stream instead of the libgit2 built-in
one.
* `git_commit_header_field()` allows you to look up a specific header
field in a commit.
* `git_commit_extract_signature()` extracts the signature from a
commit and gives you both the signature and the signed data so you
can verify it.
### API removals
* No APIs were removed in this version.
### Breaking API changes
* The `git_merge_tree_flag_t` is now `git_merge_flag_t`. Subsequently,
its members are no longer prefixed with `GIT_MERGE_TREE_FLAG` but are
now prefixed with `GIT_MERGE_FLAG`, and the `tree_flags` field of the
`git_merge_options` structure is now named `flags`.
* The `git_merge_file_flags_t` enum is now `git_merge_file_flag_t` for
consistency with other enum type names.
* `git_cert` descendent types now have a proper `parent` member
* It is the responsibility of the refdb backend to decide what to do
with the reflog on ref deletion. The file-based backend must delete
it, a database-backed one may wish to archive it.
* `git_config_backend` has gained two entries. `lock` and `unlock`
with which to implement the transactional/atomic semantics for the
configuration backend.
* `git_index_add` and `git_index_conflict_add()` will now use the case
as provided by the caller on case insensitive systems. Previous
versions would keep the case as it existed in the index. This does
not affect the higher-level `git_index_add_bypath` or
`git_index_add_frombuffer` functions.
* The `notify_payload` field of `git_diff_options` was renamed to `payload`
to reflect that it's also the payload for the new progress callback.
* The `git_config_level_t` enum has gained a higher-priority value
`GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_PROGRAMDATA` which represent a rough Windows equivalent
to the system level configuration.
* `git_rebase_init()` not also takes a merge options.
* The index no longer performs locking itself. This is not something
users of the library should have been relying on as it's not part of
the concurrency guarantees.
