* Improve the performance of the revwalk and bring us closer to git's code.
+* The reference db has improved support for concurrency and returns `GIT_ELOCKED`
+ when an operation could not be performed due to locking.
+
+* Nanosecond resolution is now activated by default, following git's change to
+ do this.
+
+* We now restrict the set of ciphers we let OpenSSL use by default.
+
+* Users can now register their own merge drivers for use with `.gitattributes`.
+ The library also gained built-in support for the union merge driver.
+
+* The default for creating references is now to validate that the object does
+ exist.
+
+* Add `git_proxy_options` which is used by the different networking
+ implementations to let the caller specify the proxy settings instead of
+ relying on the environment variables.

### API additions
* You can now get the user-agent used by libgit2 using the
`GIT_OPT_GET_USER_AGENT` option with `git_libgit2_opts()`.
It is the counterpart to `GIT_OPT_SET_USER_AGENT`.
+* The `GIT_OPT_SET_SSL_CIPHERS` option for `git_libgit2_opts()` lets you specify
+ a custom list of ciphers to use for OpenSSL.

* `git_commit_create_buffer()` creates a commit and writes it into a
- user-provided buffer instead of writing it into the object db.
