   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1839)

0.24.8	2025-10-29

 * Add Rust implementation of pack delta creation (create_delta). The
   implementation uses the similar crate for efficient diff computation.
   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Extend ``http.extraHeader`` configuration to support per-URL settings.
   Allows configuring different HTTP headers for specific URLs using
   ``http.<url>.extraHeader`` syntax, enabling authentication in CI/CD
   environments like GitHub Actions. More specific URL configurations
   override less specific ones.  (Jelmer Vernooij, #882)

 * Add support for ``GIT_REFLOG_ACTION`` environment variable in porcelain
   functions. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1811)

 * Add support for namespace isolation via ``NamespacedRefsContainer``.
   Implements Git's namespace feature for isolating refs within a single
   repository using the ``refs/namespaces/`` prefix. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1809)

 * Add support for GIT_FLUSH environment variable to control output buffering
   in CLI commands. When GIT_FLUSH=1, output is flushed after each write for
   real-time visibility. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1810)

 * Implement ``dulwich interpret-trailers`` functionality to parse and manipulate
   structured metadata (trailers) in commit messages. Adds ``porcelain.interpret_trailers()``
   with support for parsing, adding, replacing, and formatting trailers. Also fixes
   the ``signoff`` parameter in ``porcelain.commit()`` to add ``Signed-off-by`` trailers.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1826)

 * Add support for recursive submodule updates via ``--recursive`` flag in
   ``dulwich submodule update`` command and ``recursive`` parameter in
   ``porcelain.submodule_update()``.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1813)

 * Add support for ``git maintenance`` command to optimize Git repository data.
   Implements gc, commit-graph, loose-objects, incremental-repack, pack-refs, and
   prefetch tasks. Supports automatic maintenance with ``--auto`` flag and task-specific
   configuration. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add support for ``dulwich replace`` command to create refs that replace objects.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1834)

 * Implement advanced Git object specification support: index path lookup (``:``, ``:0:``,
   ``:1:``, ``:2:``, ``:3:``) for accessing files from the index and merge stages, and
   reflog time specifications (``@{time}``) using Git's approxidate format (e.g.,
   ``HEAD@{yesterday}`, ``master@{2.weeks.ago}``). (Jelmer Vernooij, #1783)

 * Add ``dulwich stripspace`` command to remove unnecessary whitespace from text.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1838)

0.24.7	2025-10-23

   Implements reading and writing of sparse directory entries, index expansion/
   collapse operations, and the 'sdir' extension.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1797)

 * Add support for core.fsyncObjectFiles configuration option.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1817)

 * Work around typing module bug in Python 3.9.0 and 3.9.1 by using string
   annotation for Callable type in reflog.py. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1948)

 * Fix passing ssh_command, password, and key_filename parameters to the SSH
   vendor. Regression from 0.24.2.  (Jelmer Vernooij, #1945)

 * Fix LFS URL validation to prevent DNS resolution errors when ``lfs.url`` is
   configured with an invalid value. Implement full support for ``file://`` URLs
   to access local LFS repositories, matching git-lfs behavior.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1951)

0.24.6	2025-10-19

 * Fix import failure when ``sys.stdin`` is ``None``. The ``dulwich.server``
   module can now be imported in environments where ``sys.stdin`` is ``None``,
   such as Windows GUI apps, apps started with ``pythonw``, or apps using
   ``ProcessPoolExecutor``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1939)

 * Add support for ``dulwich reflog expire`` and ``dulwich reflog delete`` commands.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1798)

   into individual message files. Supports mboxrd format, custom precision,
   and all standard git mailsplit options. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1840)

 * Implement recursive merge strategy for handling multiple merge bases
   (criss-cross merges). When multiple common ancestors exist, the algorithm
   creates a virtual merge base by recursively merging them, reducing false
   conflicts in complex merge scenarios. The recursive strategy is now used
   automatically by ``porcelain.merge()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1815)

 * Add support for ``dulwich show-branch`` command to display branches and their
   commits. Supports filtering by local/remote branches, topological ordering,
   list mode, independent branch detection, and merge base calculation.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1829)

 * Add ``dulwich config`` command to get and set repository or global
   configuration options. Supports getting/setting values, listing all config,
   getting all values for multivars, and unsetting values.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1775)

0.24.5	2025-10-15

 * Add support for ``dulwich show-ref`` command to list references in a local
   repository. Supports filtering by branches/tags, pattern matching,
   dereferencing tags, verification mode, and existence checking. Available
   as ``porcelain.show_ref()`` and ``dulwich show-ref`` CLI command.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1830)

 * Fix HTTP authentication to preserve credentials from URLs when storing
   remote configuration. URLs with embedded credentials (like
   ``https://token@github.com/user/repo.git``) now correctly save those
   credentials to git config, allowing subsequent push operations to succeed.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1925)

 * Restore ``pool_manager`` parameter to ``get_transport_and_path`` and
   ``get_transport_and_path_from_url`` functions that was accidentally removed
   during type annotation refactoring. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1928)

0.24.4	2025-10-14

 * Add support for ``dulwich var`` command to display Git's logical variables
   (GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT, GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, GIT_EDITOR, GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR,
   GIT_PAGER, GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH). Available as ``porcelain.var()`` and
   ``dulwich var`` CLI command. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1841)

 * Add support for ``GIT_TRACE`` environment variable for debugging. Supports
   output to stderr (values "1", "2", or "true"), file descriptors (3-9),
   file paths, and directories (creates per-process trace files).
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1863)

 * Add ``extract_signature()`` method to ``Commit`` and ``Tag`` classes that
   returns (payload, signature, signature_type) tuple. Supports both PGP and SSH
   signature detection. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Fix Git filter protocol implementation to properly handle the two-phase
   response format (initial headers, content, final headers) as specified in
   the Git protocol documentation. This fixes compatibility with Git LFS and
   other filters that send status messages in final headers.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1889)

 * Add ``dulwich worktree repair`` command to repair worktree administrative files
   after worktrees or the main repository have been moved.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1799)

 * Add ``dulwich verify-tag`` command to check GPG signatures of tags.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1833)

 * Add ``dulwich verify-commit`` command to check GPG signatures of tags.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1832)

0.24.2	2025-09-25

 * Added ``porcelain.shortlog`` function to summarize commits by author,
   similar to git shortlog. (Muhammad Usama, #1693)

 * Fix merge functionality to gracefully handle missing optional merge3 dependency
   by raising informative ImportError with installation instructions.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1759)

 * Fix worktree CLI tests to properly change to repository directory.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1738)

 * Add ``temporary_worktree`` context manager for creating temporary worktrees
   that are automatically cleaned up. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add ``exist_ok`` parameter to ``add_worktree`` to allow creation with
   existing directories. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add colorized diff support for the ``show`` command with ``--color``
   argument. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1741)

 * Fix Windows path handling in ``_ensure_parent_dir_exists`` to correctly
   handle drive letters during checkout operations. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1751)

 * Fix Windows config loading to only use current Git config path,
   avoiding loading older config files.  (Jelmer Vernooij, #1732)

 * Add interactive rebase support with ``dulwich rebase -i``, including support
   for pick, reword, edit, squash, fixup, drop, exec, and break commands.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1696)

 * Fix handling of CRLF line endings with ``core.autocrlf = input`` to prevent
   unchanged files from appearing as unstaged in status.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1773)

 * Add support for ``core.whitespace`` configuration for whitespace error
   detection and fixing. Supports blank-at-eol, space-before-tab, indent-with-non-tab,
   tab-in-indent, blank-at-eof, cr-at-eol, and tabwidth settings.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1806)

 * Add support for ``core.safecrlf`` configuration to check if CRLF/LF conversions
   would be reversible and optionally abort or warn on potentially lossy conversions.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1806)

 * Add support for ``http.extraHeader`` configuration to pass additional HTTP
   headers to the server when communicating over HTTP(S).
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1769)

 * Optimize LFS filter performance by avoiding redundant disk writes when
   checking file status. The LFS store now checks if objects already exist
   before writing them to disk, significantly improving ``dulwich status``
   performance in repositories with many LFS-tracked files.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1789)

 * Add filter server support. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1789)

 * Add support for ``patiencediff`` algorithm in diff.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1795)

 * Add IPv6 support for git:// protocol URLs.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1796)

 * Add support for ``core.preloadIndex`` configuration setting to enable
   parallel stat operations when checking for unstaged changes. This improves
   performance on slow filesystems like NFS. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1851)

0.24.1	2025-08-01

 * Require ``typing_extensions`` on Python 3.10.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1735)

0.24.0	2025-08-01

 * Split out ``WorkTree`` from ``Repo``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add comprehensive git worktree support including ``WorkTreeContainer``
   class, ``WorkTreeInfo`` objects, and full CLI/porcelain implementations
   for add, list, remove, prune, lock, unlock, and move operations.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1710, #1632)

 * Add support for ``-a`` argument to
   ``dulwich.cli.commit``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

   ``dulwich.cli.commit`` and ``dulwich.porcelain.commit``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add support for merge drivers.
   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add support for Git revision syntax operators ``~``, ``^``, ``^{}``,
   ``@{N}``, and ``:path`` in ``dulwich.objectspec.parse_object``,
   e.g. ``HEAD~1``, ``HEAD^2``, ``v1.0^{}``, ``HEAD@{1}``, ``HEAD:README``.
   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add support for ``GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL`` and ``GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM``
   environment variables to override global and system configuration
   paths. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1193)

 * ``dulwich.porcelain.diff``: Support diffing two commits
   and diffing cached and working tree. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add ``format-patch`` command in porcelain. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add functions for creating bundles and ``BundleClient``
   for interacting with bundles. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1246)

 * Add support for ``core.commitGraph`` configuration setting to control
   whether commit-graph files are used for performance optimization.
   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add ``reflog`` command in porcelain. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add ``locked_ref`` context manager for atomic ref operations.
   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Fix bug in ``DiskRefsContainer._remove_packed_ref`` that prevented
   packed ref deletions from being persisted to disk.
   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Optimize writing unchanged refs by avoiding unnecessary fsync
   when ref already has the desired value. File locking behavior
   is preserved to ensure proper concurrency control.
   (Dan Villiom Podlaski Christiansen, Jelmer Vernooij, #1120)

 * Fix Unicode filename encoding issue on Windows where non-ASCII
   filenames were corrupted during clone/checkout operations.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #203)

0.23.2	2025-07-07

 * Print deprecations on usage, not import.
   (Alyssa Coghlan, #1650)

 * Add support for ``core.protectHFS`` configuration setting to protect
   against paths that could be misinterpreted on HFS+ filesystems.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #246)

 * Only write Git index extensions when they contain meaningful data.
   Previously, dulwich would write empty extensions to the index file,
   causing unnecessary bloat.
   (Andrew Shadura, Jelmer Vernooij, #1643)

 * Document that ``porcelain.push`` returns per-ref status information
   in the ``SendPackResult`` object. Added test coverage to verify this
   functionality works as expected.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #780)

 * Add porcelain submodule commands: ``submodule_update``, ``submodule_add``g
   CLI command, and ``submodule_update`` CLI command. Add ``--recurse-submodules``
   option to ``clone`` command. (#506, Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Support popping stashes. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add support for parsing Git attributes from .gitattributes files.
   This enables proper handling of text/binary detection, line ending
   normalization, and filter specifications for files.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1211)

 * Add git bisect functionality including core bisect logic, porcelain
   commands (bisect_start, bisect_bad, bisect_good, bisect_skip,
   bisect_reset, bisect_log, bisect_replay), and CLI support.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1631)

 * Fix ``porcelain.describe()`` to dynamically determine hash length
   based on uniqueness, matching git describe behavior more closely.
   Previously used a hardcoded 7-character hash length.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #824)

 * Add test for ``porcelain.add()`` to verify files can be added when
   the current working directory is within a gitignored directory.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #550)

 * ParamikoSSHVendor now reads SSH configuration from ~/.ssh/config.
   Host settings including hostname, user, port, and identity file are
   now respected when establishing SSH connections.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #443)

0.23.1	2025-06-30

 * Support ``untracked_files="normal"`` argument to ``porcelain.status``,
   and make this the default.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #835)

 * Fix ``parse_commit`` to properly dereference annotated tags when
   checking out tags. Previously, checking out an annotated tag would
   fail with a KeyError.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1638)

 * Handle different file type transitions properly in ``update_working_tree``
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1638)

 * Fix KeyError when pulling from a shallow clone. Handle missing commits
   gracefully in graph traversal operations for shallow repositories.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #813)

 * Return symrefs from ls_refs. (Jelmer Vernooij, #863)

 * Support short commit hashes in ``porcelain.reset()``.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1154)

   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1097)

 * Fix TypeError when cloning repositories with bytes paths on Windows.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #973)

 * Support ``depth`` for local clones.
   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add basic support for managing Notes. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add basic ``cherry-pick`` subcommand.  (#1599, Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add ``revert`` command to ``dulwich.porcelain`` and CLI.
   (#1599, Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add annotate support as well as ``annotate`` and ``blame``
   commands.  (#245, Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Fix ``apply_delta`` to raise ``ApplyDeltaError`` instead of ``AssertionError``
   when the source buffer size doesn't match the delta header. This issue only
   affected the pure Python implementation when the Rust extension was not
   available. The Rust implementation already raised the correct exception.
   (#1606, Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Fix ``porcelain.reset --hard`` to properly delete files that don't exist in
   the target tree. Previously, when resetting to a remote branch, files deleted
   in the remote were not removed locally due to incorrect path normalization
   on Windows. (#840, Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add support for includes in configuration files.
   (#1216, Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Support timeouts for HTTP client operations.  (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add support for ``reset --mixed`` and ``reset --soft`` modes in
   ``porcelain.reset()`` and the CLI. Mixed reset updates HEAD and index
   but leaves working tree unchanged. Soft reset only updates HEAD.
   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Apply line-ending normalization in ``build_index_from_tree`` to respect
   ``core.autocrlf`` configuration during checkout operations.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #663)

 * Add ``prune`` method to object stores for cleaning up orphaned temporary
   pack files. This is now called by ``garbage_collect()`` to match Git's
   behavior. Also added ``prune`` command to ``dulwich.porcelain``.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #558)

 * Fix ``porcelain.remove()`` to work correctly when called from a directory
   other than the repository root. Relative paths are now interpreted as
   relative to the repository root rather than the current working directory.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #821)

 * Add support for auto garbage collection, and invoke from
   some porcelain commands. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1600)

 * Add ``filter-branch`` support to ``dulwich.porcelain`` and
   ``dulwich.filter_branch`` module for rewriting commit history.
   Supports filtering author, committer, and message fields.
   (#745, Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add ``mv`` porcelain command. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1633)

0.23.0	2025-06-21

 * Add basic ``rebase`` subcommand. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add ``gc`` command to ``dulwich.porcelain.`` (Jelmer Vernooij, #92)

 * Add ``unpack-objects`` plumbing command to unpack objects from pack files
   into loose objects in the repository. This command extracts all objects
   from a pack file and writes them to the object store as individual files.
   Available in both ``dulwich.porcelain.unpack_objects()`` and as a CLI
   command ``dulwich unpack-objects``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add ``merge-tree`` plumbing command to ``dulwich.porcelain`` and CLI.
   This command performs three-way tree merges without touching the working
   directory or creating commits, similar to ``git merge-tree``. It outputs
   the merged tree SHA and lists any conflicted paths. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add ``porcelain.count_objects()`` function to count unpacked objects and
   their disk usage. Returns a tuple of (count, size) for simple usage or
   a ``CountObjectsResult`` dataclass with detailed statistics when
   ``verbose=True``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add support for pack index format version 3. This format supports variable
   hash sizes to enable future SHA-256 support. The implementation includes
   reading and writing v3 indexes with proper hash algorithm identification
   (1 for SHA-1, 2 for SHA-256). Note that SHA-256 support itself is not yet
   implemented and will raise NotImplementedError. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Fix ``LocalGitClient`` assertion error when fetching externally cloned repositories
   into ``MemoryRepo``. Previously, the client would fail with an AssertionError
   when trying to process pack data from repositories that were cloned externally.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1179)

 * Add support for ``os.PathLike`` objects throughout the API. Functions that
   accept file paths now support ``pathlib.Path`` objects in addition to
   strings and bytes. This includes repository operations, configuration file
   handling, ignore file processing, and all major entry points.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1074)

 * Add support for ``format`` argument to ``Repo.init()`` and ``Repo.init_bare()``
   to specify repository format version (0 or 1). This allows creating repositories
   with different format versions by setting the ``core.repositoryformatversion``
   configuration value. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Fix Rust implementation of ``sorted_tree_items()`` to correctly handle submodules.
   Previously, submodules (mode 0o160000) were incorrectly treated as directories
   in the sorting order, causing different results compared to the Python
   implementation. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1325)

 * Fix ``porcelain.add()`` to stage both untracked and modified files when no
   paths are specified. Previously, only untracked files were staged, inconsistent
   with Git's behavior. Now behaves like ``git add -A`` when called without paths.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #746)

 * Fix ``porcelain.add()`` symlink handling to allow adding symlinks that point
   outside the repository. Previously, the function would fail when trying to
   add a symlink pointing outside the repo due to aggressive path resolution.
   Now only resolves the parent directory for symlinks, matching Git's behavior.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #789)

 * Fix ``porcelain.add()`` when adding repository root path or directories.
   Previously, adding the repository path itself would incorrectly stage
   ``b'./'`` instead of the actual untracked files, leading to
   repository corruption.  (Jelmer Vernooij, #1178, #655)

 * Improve ``porcelain.add()`` documentation to correctly describe default
   behavior. (Jelmer Vernooij, #895)

 * Fix gitignore pattern matching for directory negation patterns. Patterns like
   ``!data/*/`` now correctly unignore direct subdirectories while still ignoring
   files in the parent directory, matching Git's behavior. The ``is_ignored()`` method
   now documents that directory paths should end with ``/`` for consistent behavior.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1203)

 * Support quote_path flag for ignore checking. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Clarify documentation for ``IgnoreFilter`` and ``IgnoreFilterManager`` to
   explicitly state that directory paths should include trailing slashes when
   checking if they are ignored. This matches Git's behavior and ensures
   consistent results. (Jelmer Vernooij, #972)

 * Add support for Git's ``feature.manyFiles`` configuration and index version 4.
   This enables faster Git operations in large repositories through path prefix
   compression (30-50% smaller index files) and optional hash skipping for faster
   writes. Supports ``feature.manyFiles``, ``index.version``, and ``index.skipHash``
   configuration options.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1061, #1462)

 * In dulwich.porcelain docstring, list functions by their Python identifiers.
   (Marnanel Thurman)

 * cli: add basic branch management commands (James Addison, #1514)

 * Fix wheels workflow. (Jelmer Vernooij)

   appends them. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1545)

 * Support ``core.sshCommand`` setting.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1548)

 * Bump PyO3 to 0.25. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * In ``SubprocessClient`` time out after 60 seconds
   when the subprocess hasn't terminated when closing
   the channel. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Add type hint for ``dulwich.client.get_ssh_vendor``.
   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1471)

 * Add basic merge command. (Jelmer Vernooij)

   if the server does not support it. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Consistently honor ``ref_prefix`` and ``protocol_version``
   arguments in client. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Strip pkt-line when negotiating protocol v2. Fixes
   compatibility with gerrit. (Rémy Pecqueur, #1423)

 * Don't pull in ``setuptools_rust`` when building pure
   package. (Eli Schwartz)
