v1.8
This is release v1.8.0, "Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer". This release includes optional, experimental support for invoking OpenSSH to fetch and push, an easier mechanism to perform the default behavior of
git commit, and has many improvements for worktrees. This release also includes many other new features and bugfixes.Major changes
Executable SSH (OpenSSH) support
libgit2 can now invoke the command-line OpenSSH to fetch from and push to remotes over SSH. This support takes the place of libssh2 support. To use it, configure libgit2 with
cmake -DUSE_SSH=exec, and please report any problems that you discover. By @ethomson in Add OpenSSH support #6617Simplified commit creation
The
git_commit_create_from_stageAPI was introduced to allow users to better emulate the behavior ofgit commitwithout needing to provide unnecessary information. The current state of the index is committed to the current branch. By @ethomson in commit: introduce git_commit_create_from_stage #6716Worktree improvements
A number of worktree improvements have been made for better compatibility with core git. First, libgit2 now understands per-worktree references, thanks to @csware in Make refdb_fs (hopefully) fully aware of per worktree refs #6387. Worktree-specific configuration is now supported, thanks to @vermiculus in Support the extension for worktree-specific config #6202. And improved compatibility with
git worktree addis now supported, thanks to @herrerog in worktree: mimic 'git worktree add' behavior. #5319.Breaking changes
Adding
WORKTREEconfiguration level (ABI breaking change)To support worktree configurations at the appropriate level (higher priority than local configuration, but lower priority than app-specific configuration), the
GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_WORKTREElevel was introduced at priority 6.GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_APPnow begins at priority 7.Changes to
git_config_entry(ABI breaking change) Thegit_config_entrystructure now contains information about thebackend_typeandorigin_path. The unusedpayloadvalue has been removed.git_push_optionsincludes remote push options (ABI breaking change)The
git_push_optionsstructure now contains a value for remote push options.Other changes
