Changelog
==============

0.23.0 (2015-08-14)
-------------------------

- Update to libgit2 v0.23
  `#540 <https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2/pull/540>`_

- Now ``Repository.merge_base(...)`` returns ``None`` if no merge base is found
  `#550 <https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2/pull/550>`_

- Documentation updates
  `#547 <https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2/pull/547>`_

API changes:

- How to set identity (aka signature) in a reflog has changed::

    # Before
    signature = Signature('foo', 'bar')
    ...
    reference.set_target(target, signature=signature, message=message)
    repo.set_head(target, signature=signature)
    remote.fetch(signature=signature)
    remote.push(signature=signature)

    # Now
    repo.set_ident('foo', 'bar')
    ...
    reference.set_target(target, message=message)
    repo.set_head(target)
    remote.push()

    # The current identity can be get with
    repo.ident

- Some remote setters have been replaced by methods::

    # Before                       # Now
    Remote.url = url               Repository.remotes.set_url(name, url)
    Remote.push_url = url          Repository.remotes.set_push_url(name, url)

    Remote.add_push(refspec)       Repository.remotes.add_push(name, refspec)

    Remote.fetch_refspecs = [...]  removed, use the config API instead
