gix v0.44.0

on GitHub

New Features

• gix index entries also prints attributes.
• add Repository::attributes() and Worktree::attributes().
• add index.threads configuration to gix::config::tree
• Before writing new objects, check if they exist.
  That way we safe expensive IO at the cost of some CPU.
• add Object::into_tag() and Tag::decode() methods.
  This makes the API more symmetric as similar methods exist for commits
  and trees.
• Allow USE_NSEC and USE_STDEV compile time flags to configured at runtime.
  Right now git may be compiled without these capabilities, even though on some platforms
  it might make perfect sense to enable them by default or enable them on a per repository
  basis. This is now possible thanks to added gitoxide specific functions.
• open::Options now allow controlling where gitattributes files are loaded from.
  That way it's possible to, for example, isolate all operations that rely on the gitattribute
  system, like checkouts or additions to the index.
• revision::walk::Platform::selected(filter) to selectively prune parts of the commit graph.

Bug Fixes

• When removing all shallow commits from shallow file, delete it.
  Previously it would leave an empty file, which will be ignored by the implementation
  but might be confusing to users.
• gix::open() can handle bare repositories with index.
  These are mis-classified as non-bare repository, which previosuly
  caused it to get off-track.

New Features (BREAKING)

• add Repository::excludes() and simplify signature of Worktree::excludes().
  Further, this change removes the permission module without replacement,
  and moves permissions into open.

  This corrects an artifact of this crate previously being name gix-repository and brings
  these types semantically closer to where they are actually used.

• support configuring the connection (i.e. for auth) during clone.
  This change also removes the generic type for Progress from Connection
  which forces it to be passed to every potentially long-running method.

• Rename serde1 cargo feature to serde and use the weak-deps cargo capability.
  With it it's possible to not automatically declare all optional dependencies externally visible
  features, and thus re-use feature names that oterwise are also a crate name.

  Previously I thought that serde1 is for future-proofing and supporting multiple serde versions
  at the same time. However, it's most definitely a burden I wouldn't want anyway, so using
  serde seems to be the way to go into the future.

• remove types that are now available in gix-os
