#+TITLE: sequoia-git NEWS – history of user-visible changes
#+STARTUP: content hidestars

* Changes in 0.4.1
** New functionality
   - New command `sq-git version` displays `sq-git`'s version
     information.
* Changes in 0.4.0
** New functionality
   This release adds support for RFC 9580.

* Changes in 0.3.0
** New functionality
** Notable fixes
   - `sq-git policy export` now requires either `--name` or `--all`.
** Notable changes
   - The help output has been improved.  Like `sq`, the global options
     are only showed at the top-level.  When showing a subcommand's
     usage, any examples are also shown.
   - The subcommand structure has been aligned with `sq`.  In
     particular, the help subcommand has been disabled for
     non-top-level subcommands.
   - Change `--policy-file` from a global to a local argument that is
     only available for commands that actually use it.
* Changes in 0.2.0
** New functionality
   - New command `sq-git policy export` exports the certificates
     associated with an entity.
   - New command `sq-git policy diff` compares two policies.
   - New argument `sq-git policy describe --commit` describes the
     policy from an arbitrary commit.
   - Align the certificate store location handling with `sq`:
     - New argument `--home` specifies the Sequoia home directory.
       Alternatively, the `SEQUOIA_HOME` environment variable can be
       used.
     - Replace the `--no-cert-store` argument with `--cert-store none`.
     - Use `SEQUOIA_CERT_STORE` instead of the `SQ_CERT_STORE`
       environment variable to specify the certificate store's
       location.
** Notable fixes
   - When authenticating a commit, `sq-git log` uses the parent
     commit's policy to authenticate the new commit.  If a certificate
     has expired, an entity has rotated their certificate's signing
     subkey, etc., then the certificate in the parent commit may no
     longer be able to verify new signatures.  To prevent this
     situation, `sq-git` now updates certificates present in the
     parent commit's policy with non-revocation updates from the child
     commit.  Note: only the certificates already present in the
     parent commit's policy are updated; certificates added to the
     child commit's policy are ignored.
   - Check that keyring updates are allowed according to the policy.
   - When using a policy from a file (e.g., with `--policy-file`) and
     the file did not exist, we would default to an empty policy
     instead of emitting an error.
   - The git key for the trust root has been renamed from
     `sequoia.trust-root` to `sequoia.trustRoot` to match `git`'s
     naming convention.
** Notable changes
   - Updated the list of keyservers that `sq-git policy sync` uses by
     default.
