gix-url v0.25.0

11 months ago

This release contains a complete rewrite of the internal url parsing logic, the public interface stays mostly the same however. Gitoxide will now be
more correct, interpreting more urls the same way Git does. Improvements include the added support for ssh aliases (github:byron/gitoxide has previously
been parsed as local path), adjustments around the interpretation of colons in file names (previously we disallowed colons that were not followed up
with a slash character) and some smaller changes that bring the interpretation of file urls more in line with Git's implementation. Additionally, the
error types have been adjusted to print a more comprehensive message by default, making sure they stay helpful even when bubbled up through multiple abstraction
layers.

There are still many (edge) cases in Git's url parsing implementation which are not handled correctly by Gitoxide. If you notice any such deviation please
open a new issue to help us making Gitoxide even more correct.

Bug Fixes

  • another fuzz-issue that could cause long parse times of URLs
  • denial of service attack by passing a URL with a very long host.
    We now check for certain size limits and prevent passing long URLs to
    the url crate.

New Features

  • enable fuzzing for git url parsing
