========================

libgit2 v0.14.0, "watermelon wheat"

This a very packed minor release. The usual guilty parties have been working harder than usual during the holidays -- thanks to everyone involved!

As always, the updated API docs can be found at:

	http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2/

NEW FEATURES:

	- New OS abstraction layer. This should make all POSIX calls much
	more reliable under Windows.

	- Much faster writes of simple objects (commits, tags, trees) to the
	ODB via in-memory buffering and direct writes, instead of streaming.

	- Unified & simplified API for object creation. All the `create`
	methods now take Objects instead of OIDs to ensure that corrupted
	(dangling) objects cannot be created on the repository.

	- Fully Git-compilant reference renaming (finally!), with
	the already existing `git_reference_rename`.

	- Deletion of config keys with `git_config_delete`

	- Greatly improved index performance when adding new entries

	- Reflog support with the `git_reflog` API

	- Remotes support with the `git_remote` API

	- First parts of the Networking API, including refspecs and
	the transport abstraction layer. (Note that there are no actual
	transports implemented yet)

	- Status support with the `git_status_foreach` and `git_status_file`
	functions.

	- Tons of bugfixes, including the outstanding bug #127 (wrong sort
	ordering when querying tree entries).

KNOWN ISSUES:

	- The reference renaming code leaks memory. This is being worked on
	as part of a reference handling overhaul.

	- The tree-from-index builder has abysmal performance because it
	doesn't handle the Treecache extension yet. This is also being
	worked on.
