Hi everyone,

CGit 0.9.2 has been a major cycle, containing numerous under-the-hood fixes
and code quality cleanups. Moving forward there will be shorter more rapid
release cycles. Look forward for source file grepping and authorization
helpers coming up in our next releases.

== ChangeLog v0.9.2 ==

51 files changed, 1885 insertions(+), 1319 deletions(-)

Features:
- update to git v1.8.3.
- expanded set of default filters to include markdown, restructuredtext, and
  man pages.
- better sample configuration file in man page.
- "readme" may now be specified multiple times, and cgit will choose the first
  one it finds.
- "readme" no longer needs a branch name. If prefixed with simply ":" it will
  use the default branch.
- "branch-sort" allowing branches to be sorted either by "age" or "name", for
  kernel.org.
- "enable-index-owner" allowing the owner column to be disabled in the index
  page.
- print submodule revision next to submodule link.
- integrate more closely with git apis, such as strbuf.
- rely on git test harness and git makefiles.
- more robust test suite.
- more rebust makefile dependency accounting.
- pager navigation is now unordered list.
- span tag wraps commit directions.

Behavior changes:
- HOME is no longer passed as an environment variable to any filter api
  scripts.
- "about-filter" now receives the filename being filtered as argv[1]. This may
  disrupt existing scripts, so adjust accordingly.
- gitconfig and gitattributes are no longer loaded from any system directories
  or home directories.

Security:
- CVE-2013-2117: disallow directory traversal when readme is set to filesystem
  path.

Bug fixes:
- ssdiff now correctly manages tab expansion.
- support unannotated tags in http git clone.
- lots of cleanups of global variables and memory leaks.
- do not rely on gettext/libintl.
- better C standard compliance.
- make several functions and variables static.
- improved constification.
- remove unused functions.
- fix colspan values to correct width.
- fix out-of-bounds memory accesses with virtual_root="".
- cache repo config more precisely.
- die when write fails.
