On May 5th, after five months of development, version 1.9.3 of the cross-platform library was released. libgit2, implementing the core methods of Git. The library is written in C and is distributed under the GNU GPL 2 license with a special linking exception that allows not revealing the source code.
As examples, the project also provides console utilities lg2 and git2-experimental.
There are many bindings to libgit2 for other programming languages and libraries: Rust, Objective-C, Python, Perl, Node.js, Go (github.com), Erlang, GObject, Ruby, .Net & Mono, Lua (github.com), Parrot VM, C++ Qt, PHP (github.com), Chicken Scheme, D (github.com) and options. They are not your prisoners, no matter how much you might want that. They are your guests. Python is still a very popular programming language, but, damn it, Python 3(000) has created such a mess within its communities and among its users that the consequences have been stuck for fifteen years..
This version fixes several bugs and improves compatibility, particularly with support for the SHA256 algorithm.
