Hello! I’m glad to announce that Guile-Git 0.6.0 has been released, fixing longstanding issues and adding support for newer libgit2 versions!
https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git/ See ‘NEWS’ file excerpt below. Incidentally, Guile-Git needs your help! The initial driving force behind the project is no longer around to help (and I’d like to thank in particular Erik Edrosa for all their work shepherding the project). We need new volunteers to help, and new maintainers. If you rely on the project and/or would like to help, let’s get in touch! One of the things to look into going further is ABI compatibility. We’re playing whack-a-mole with ABI/API changes introduced as new libgit2 versions come out; the ‘check-abi’ target contributed by Sören Tempel helps in finding glaring ABI mismatches with structs, but it’s not completely bulletproof either (due to SysV alignment rules, missing fields etc. are not always uncovered, especially on 64-bit platforms). An idea might be to look into using nyacc’s ffi-helper to generate struct definitions. Happy version control! Ludo’.
* Changes in 0.6.0 (since 0.5.2) ** Updated requirements Guile-Git now requires libgit2 >= 1.3.0. ** New functionality *** Support libgit2 up to 1.7.x *** Support for checkout options Checkout options can be created with ~make-checkout-options~ and passed to ~checkout-head~, ~checkout-index~, etc. *** New ~remote-connect/detached~ procedure Lets you connect to a detached remote. *** New ~(git ignore)~ module and ~ignored-file?~ procedure The ~ignored-file?~ returns true when a file is ignored according to the ignore rules. *** New ~owner-validation?~ and ~set-owner-validation!~ procedures These procedures let you query and set repository directory ownership validation, which raises an error when attempting to access a repository not owned by the current user. *** New ~describe-checkout~ procedure The procedure returns a pretty description of a checkout, similar to the ~git describe~ command. ** Bug fixes *** Always use native endianness when interpreting ~size_t~ pointers (<https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git/-/issues/20>) *** Add missing argument to C call made by ~repository-index~ *** Clone-over-SSH tests now ignores =~/.ssh/known_hosts= validation (<https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git/-/issues/29>) *** Fix various binary interface incompatibility issues Running ~make check-abi~ now flags application binary interface (ABI) issues.
