gix v0.38.0

on GitHub

New Features

• the hp-tempfile-registry feature toggle to control the dashmap dependency.
  And also, probably provide a better performance in certain cases.
• make gix-pack feature toggles related to pack caches available.
  Previously they would have to be configured by pulling in gix-pack, which
  isn't desirable as the only crate we want to expose like that is gix-features.
• Add comfort feature toggle (default enabled) to make better progress units available.
  This could be a breaking change for those who turned default-features off, as you may now
  have to re-add the comfort feature to get nicer progress messages.

Bug Fixes

• gix-tempfile is now configured to not use the high-performance hashmap anymore.
  It was hard to justify as tests actually seemed to be faster without it.

New Features (BREAKING)

• Put progress::tree behind the progress-tree feature toggle.
  It's a convenience export that implies pulling in more dependencies, so it
  should be gated.

• gate all signal handling behind the signals feature toggle.
  This change also consolidates all signal handling into its own module called
  signal to provide reusable handlers and as well as well as signal initialization.

  Note that the functions to cleanup tempfiles don't interact with the signal registry,
  hence they still can be called without the signals feature enabled.

  Note that this change sneakily fixes a bug that could have caused a write_all()
  on a tempfile that was removed by a signal to enter an infinite loop.
