libgit2 v1.9.0

This is release v1.9.0, "Schwibbogen". As usual, it contains numerous bug fixes, compatibility improvements, and new features.

This is expected to be the final release in the libgit2 v1.x lineage. libgit2 v2.0 is expected to be the next version, with support for SHA256 moving to "supported" status (out of "experimental" status). This means that v2.0 will have API and ABI changes to support SHA256, as well as other breaking changes.

Major changes

Documentation improvements We've launched a new website for our API reference docs at https://libgit2.org/docs/reference/main. To support this, we've updated the documentation to ensure that all APIs are well-documented, and added docurium-style specifiers to indicate more depth about the API surface.

redis

For developers, who are building real-time data-driven applications, Redis is the preferred, fastest, and most feature-rich cache, data structure server, and document and vector query engine.

The git_signature_default_from_env API will now produce a pair of git_signatures representing the author, and the committer, taking the GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_NAME environment variables into account. Added by @u-quark in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6706
packbuilder can now be interrupted from a callback. Added @roberth in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6874
libgit2 now claims to honor the preciousObject repository extension. This extension indicates that the client will never delete objects (in other words, will not garbage collect). libgit2 has no functionality to remove objects, so it implicitly obeys this in all cases. Added by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6886
Push status will be reported even when a push fails. This is useful to give information from the server about possible updates, even when the overall status failed. Added by @yerseg in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6876
You can now generate a thin pack from a mempack instance using git_mempack_write_thin_pack. Added by @roberth in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6875
The new LIBGIT2_VERSION_CHECK macro will indicate whether the version of libgit2 being compiled against is at least the version specified. For example: #if LIBGIT2_VERSION_CHECK(1, 6, 3) is true for libgit2 version 1.6.3 or newer. In addition, the new LIBGIT2_VERSION_NUMBER macro will return an integer version representing the libgit2 version number. For example, for version 1.6.3, LIBGIT2_VERSION_NUMBER will evaluate to 010603. Added by @HamedMasafi in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6882
Custom X509 certificates can be added to OpenSSL's certificate store using the GIT_OPT_ADD_SSL_X509_CERT option. Added by @yerseg in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6877
The libgit2 compatibility CLI now has a git blame command. Added by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6907
Remote callbacks now provide an update_refs callback so that users can now get the refspec of the updated reference during push. This gives more complete information about the remote reference that was updated. Added by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6559
An optional FIPS-compliant mode for hashing is now available; you can set -DUSE_SHA256=OpenSSL-FIPS to enable it. Added by @marcind-dot in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6906
The git-compatible CLI now supports the git init command, which has been useful in identifying API improvements and incompatibilities with git. Added by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6984
Consumers can now query more information about how libgit2 was compiled, and query the "backends" that libgit2 uses. Added by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6971
