新闻 libgit2 v0.23.0 发布，Git 开发包 下载

libgit2 v0.23.0 发布，该版本是 v0.23 系列的最终版，相比 v0.22 增加了许多新特性并修复了许多 bug。部分更新内容如下：

Changes or improvements

• 
  Patience and minimal diff drivers can now be used for merges.
  
  
• 
  Merges can now ignore whitespace changes.
  
  
• 
  Updated binary identification in CRLF filtering to avoid false positives in
  UTF-8 files.
  
  
• 
  Rename and copy detection is enabled for small files.
  
  
• 
  Checkout can now handle an initial checkout of a repository, making
  GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE_CREATE unnecessary for users of clone.
  
  
• 
  The signature parameter in the ref-modifying functions has been
  removed. Use git_repository_set_ident() and
  git_repository_ident() to override the signature to be used.
  
  
• 
  The local transport now auto-scales the number of threads to use
  when creating the packfile instead of sticking to one.
  
  
• 
  Reference renaming now uses the right id for the old value.
  
  
• 
  The annotated version of branch creation, HEAD detaching and reset
  allow for specifying the expression from the user to be put into the
  reflog.
  
  
• 
  git_rebase_commit now returns GIT_EUNMERGED when you attempt to
  commit with unstaged changes.
  
  
• 
  On Mac OS X, we now use SecureTransport to provide the cryptographic
  support for HTTPS connections insead of OpenSSL.
  
  
• 
  Checkout can now accept an index for the baseline computations via the
  baseline_index member.
  
  
• 
  The configuration for fetching is no longer stored inside the
  git_remote struct but has been moved to a git_fetch_options. The
  remote functions now take these options or the callbacks instead of
  setting them beforehand.
  
  
• 
  git_submodule instances are no longer cached or shared across
  lookup. Each submodule represents the configuration at the time of
  loading.
  
  
• 
  The index now uses diffs for add_all() and update_all() which
  gives it a speed boost and closer semantics to git.
  
  
• 
  The ssh transport now reports the stderr output from the server as
  the error message, which allows you to get the "repository not
  found" messages.
  
  
• 
  git_index_conflict_add() will remove staged entries that exist for
  conflicted paths.
  
  
• 
  The flags for a git_diff_file will now have the GIT_DIFF_FLAG_EXISTS
  bit set when a file exists on that side of the diff. This is useful
  for understanding whether a side of the diff exists in the presence of
  a conflict.
  
  
• 
  The constructor for a write-stream into the odb now takes
  git_off_t instead of size_t for the size of the blob, which
  allows putting large files into the odb on 32-bit systems.
  
  
• 
  The remote's push and pull URLs now honor the url.$URL.insteadOf
  configuration. This allows modifying URL prefixes to a custom
  value via gitconfig.
  
  
• 
  git_diff_foreach, git_diff_blobs, git_diff_blob_to_buffer,
  and git_diff_buffers now accept a new binary callback of type
  git_diff_binary_cb that includes the binary diff information.
  
  
• 
  The race condition mitigations described in racy-git.txt have been
  implemented.
  
  
• 
  If libcurl is installed, we will use it to connect to HTTP(S)
  servers.
