CRAN release v0.36.2

CHANGES

• Use 'pkg-config --static --libs' in the build configuration script
  on the Darwin platform.

• Updated the SystemRequirements field in the DESCRIPTION file to
  include the libgit2 dependencies libssh2 and openssl.

• Improved the error message in the build configuration script to also
  mention the library dependencies 'openssl', and 'libssh2' when the
  requirement 'libgit2 >= 1.0' could not be satisfied

• Added Proxy Support. The R Functions clone, fetch, push, and
  remote_ls now include a proxy parameter, enabling users to define
  proxy settings directly within these functions, see PR #461. Thanks
  to Gregor Lichtner.

• Switch linking on Windows to use pkg-config when available. Thanks
  to Tomas Kalibera for providing the patch.

• On macOS, the build configuration script no longer downloads a
  static build of libgit2 since libgit2 is now included in the macOS
  recicpes (https://github.com/R-macos/recipes).

• Update clone function docs and params, see PR #475. Thanks to
  Alexandros Kouretsis.

CRAN release v0.35.0

CHANGES

• The bundled libgit2 source code has been removed and libgit2 must now be installed on the system.

• Fix build after API change in libgit2 1.8.0.

• The system requirement for libgit2 has been updated to libgit2 version >= 1.0.

• Add $(C_VISIBILITY) to compiler flags to hide internal symbols from shared object.

• On MacOS, if libgit2 is not found, the build configuration tries to download a static build of libgit2 version 1.8.1 (https://github.com/autobrew/bundler/releases/tag/libgit2-1.8.1) and use that instead, after the sha256 of the downloaded 'libgit2-1.8.1-universal.tar.xz' file has been checked.

CRAN release v0.33.0

CHANGES

  possible to get a blob content as a raw vector, see issue #461.

• Changed the R dependency from >= 3.4 to >= 4.0.

• Added a missing '-liconv' to PKG_LIBS in Makevars.win.

  differently and to avoid problems in diffs, Git can be configured to
  handle these differences in line endings

CRAN release v0.29.0

  branch.

  system libgit2 library and instead use the internal git2r libgit2
  library. Usage:
  R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--without-libgit2' git2r_x.y.z.tar.gz

• Updated some tests to work with libgit2 version 1.1.0.
