+- Windows: update to libgit2-1.7.1 + libssh-1.11.0 + openssl-3.1.2
+
+# gert 1.9.3
+
+- Add `git_commit_stats()` function
+- Add `git_ignore_path_is_ignored()` function

+- Use special static libgit2 bundle for openssl-3 distros.
+
+# gert 1.9.0
+
+- Add support for the new ED25519 keys when authenticating over SSH
+
+# gert 1.8.0
+
+- The static libgit2 for win/mac/linux are all 1.4.2 with a patched version
+  of libssh 1.10.1. This should fix problems with the latest release versions
+  of libgit2 and libssh2.
+- The patched libssh2 builds should now support RSA-SHA2, which re-enables
+  authentication with GitHub using an RSA key.
+- On production Linux systems (x64 RHEL/Ubuntu) default to building using the
+  static libgit2 because of above reasons. Set `USE_SYSTEM_LIBGIT2=1` to force
+  building against a local libgit2 on these platforms.
+
+# gert 1.7.1
+
+- The static libgit2 for linux has been updated to 1.5.0 (this is only used
+  on linux systems where no sufficient libgit2 is available).
+
+# gert 1.7.0
+
+- `git_status()` gains parameter pathspec
+- `git_ls()` gains paremeter 'ref' and works with bare repositories
+
+# gert 1.6.0
+
+- We recommend at least libgit2 1.0 now
+- Windows: update to libgit2 1.4.2
+- Tests: switch to ECDSA keys for ssh remote unit tests
+- `git_log()` gains a parameter 'after'
+
+# gert 1.5.0
+
+- Windows: use ${HOMEDRIVE}${HOMEPATH} path as home if it exists, to match
+  git-for-windows. On most systems this is the same as ${USERPROFILE}.
+- `git_commit_info()` no longer includes $diff by default because it can be huge.
+  Please use `git_diff()` instead if you need it.
+
+# gert 1.4.3
+
+- Fix a unit test for some older versions of libgit2
+
+# gert 1.4.2
+
+- Make unit tests more robust against network fail and renamed branches
+- Windows / MacOS: update to libgit2 1.3.0
+
+# gert 1.4.1
+
+- Fix compile error with some older version of libgit2
+- MacOS: automatically use static libs when building in CI
+
+# gert 1.4.0
+
+- Windows / MacOS: update to libgit2 1.2.0
+- New function `git_branch_move()`
+- `git_branch_checkout()` gains 'orphan' parameter
+
+# gert 1.3.2
+
+- Fix unit test because GitHub has disabled user/pass auth
+
+# gert 1.3.1
+
+- Windows: fix build for ucrt toolchains
+- Solaris: disable https cert verfication
+
+# gert 1.3.0
+
+- Some encoding fixes for latin1 paths, especially non-ascii Windows usernames.
+
+# gert 1.2.0
+
+- New `git_stat_files()` function.
+
+# gert 1.1.0
+
+- On x86_64 Linux systems where libgit2 is too old or unavailable, we automatically
+  try to download a precompiled static version of libgit2. This includes CentOS 7/8
+  as well as Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. Therefore the PPA should no longer be needed.
+  You can opt-out of this by setting an envvar: USE_SYSTEM_LIBGIT2=1
+- Add tooling to manually find and set the location of the system SSL certificates
+  on such static builds, and also for Solaris.
+- Add several functions to work with submodules.
+- Globally enable submodule-caching for faster diffing.
+- Refactor internal code to please rchk analysis tool.
+
+# gert 1.0.2
+
+- `git_branch_list()` gains a parameter 'local'
+- Windows / MacOS: update to libgit2 1.1.0
+- Do not use bash in configure
+
+# gert 1.0.1
+
+- `git_branch_list()` and `git_commit_info()`  gain a date field
+- Bug fixes
+
+# gert 1.0
+
+- Lots of new functions
+- Windows and MacOS now ship with libgit2-1.0.0
+- Do not advertise HTTPS support in startup message because it should
+  always be supported.
