• 0946102 ghub–url-encode-params: Handle lisp booleans
• 5eed205 Add kludge for debbugs#54989 and rework kludge for debbugs#34341
• 7beed8c ghub–graphql-vacuum: Fall back to pretty-printing response

Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and build improvements.

v3.5.6 2022-03-25

• When encoding payloads, explicitly specify how to encode certain Lisp values in JSON.

v3.5.5 2022-02-16

• Define ghub--auth as a generic function.
• Also included are several other improvements, updated documentation and bugfixes.
• The experimental and unfinished support for the native json backend must not be used. It was merged prematurely.

v3.5.4 2021-10-02

• Add new sparse argument to ghub-fetch-repository, making it possible to fetch only information about the repository itself, exluding data such as issues and pull-requests.

v3.5.3 2021-05-26

• If the username isn’t set and the user decides to set it locally, then that resulted in an error. #124

v3.5.2 2021-04-27

• Add new function ghub-fetch-review-threads and make ghub-fetch-respository fetch baseRefOid and headRefOid. #110
• Add new headers argument to ghub-fetch-repository, ghub-fetch-issue and ghub-fetch-pullreq. #110

v3.5.1 2020-12-27

• Add new headers keyword argument to ghub-graphql.

v3.5.0 2020-11-21

• Add a kludge to work around a bug in Emacs that causes it to not respond correctly to http codes 401 and 409, causing the user to be asked for their username, which makes it very hard to debug the actual issue that caused to reject the provided information. forge/293
• Limit the kludge from v3.3.0 to Emacs releases that are affected. It was fixed in Emacs 27.1.

v3.4.2 2020-10-25

• Make sure base64 encoded credentials do not contain any newline characters. #118

v3.4.1 2020-08-01

• Fix a regression introduced in v3.4.0.

v3.4.0 2020-07-20

• Remove the token setup wizard because (a) it only ever supported Github, (b) Github is about to remove support for that on their end, (c) it did not always work, and (d) when it couldn’t be used, or failed, then it made things more complicated. #113
• Various minor fixes and improvements.

v3.3.0 2020-01-19

• Add a kludge to work around a bug in Emacs versions before 26.3 that often but not always causes network connections to fail when using TLS1.3. On macOS use the workaround regardless of the Emacs version because the supposed bug fix does not appear to work there. Add a variable ghub-use-workaround-for-emacs-bug to allow users to opt in or out of using the kludge. #81
• Add a new library gsexp.el to encode S-expressions as GraphQl documents. Previously we used the third-party library graphql.el but using our own library gives us more flexibility. Currently it is rather incomplete and only intended for use by ghub-graphql but I might fill the gaps and add documentation eventually. I am not in a hurry though. #90
• No longer depend on dash.
• Handle some undocumented Bitbucket behavior. #97
• Add new option ghub-insecure-hosts to allow users to connect to insecure forges. #9
• Support Github instances that use an undocumented url-schema, which users report to have sighted in the wild.
• ghub-fetch-repository now also fetches reviewRequests.
• Various bug fixes and improvements.

v3.2.0 2018-12-27

• Work around bug in Emacs versions before 26.1 that prevented newly created tokens from being used without the user invalidating auth-source’s cache first.
• Teach glab-repository-id about subgroups.

v3.1.0 2018-12-20

• Support GraphQL aliases.
• Show number of GraphQL page currently being fetched in mode-line.
• Add a default errorback for asynchronous REST requests, which shows the same information as would be shown for a failed synchronous request.
• Signal an error if ghub-repository-id fails.
• ghub-fetch-repository fetches a few more fields.

v3.0.0 2018-10-31

• Add support for Gitea, Gogs and Bitbucket. ghub.el supports these forges directly, but also add new libraries gtea.el, gogs.el and buck.el, which provide convenience wrappers just like the existing glab.el. #67
• No longer split the repository into multiple Melpa packages. I.e. the glab.el library is now part of the ghub package.
• Add support for automatic GraphQL unpagination. #68

  GraphQL was designed around the idea that you should be able to “ask for what you need and get exactly that”. Unfortunately this does not cover the “look, if I persist, then you are going to hand me over all the data anyway, so just cough it up already”, which is what Forge needs.

  ghub--graphql-vacuum provides a way to unpaginate all cursors in the returned data without having to write a lot of boilerplate. Callers have to provide the query as an s-expression that corresponds to the root request. The queries needed to follow cursors in arbitrary locations within the returned data, are automatically derived from that query.

  ghub-fetch-repository fetches information about a repository. If also serves as an example for how to use ghub--graphql-vacuum.

  The initial queries used by ghub-fetch-issue and ghub-fetch-pullreq are pre-narrowed variants of the initial query of ghub-fetch-repository. Pre-narrowing is somewhat similar to the use of fragments, but unlike that, it doesn’t result in lots of duplicated boilerplate and/or lots of variables.

  There is very little documentation and everything is still very much subject to change.

• Bind url-show-message to nil so that the more useful messages displayed by the callers of this package are visible to the user instead of the less useful “Contacting host: api.github.com:443”.
• Sometimes Github returns an HTML document instead of the promised JSON when an error occurs. Try harder to extract some meaningful information from that document.
• Work around a bug in older Emacsen that prevented auth-source from retrieving saved secrets. #64
• Deal with a chicken and egg problem concerning 2fa. #65
• Add new ghub-clear-caches command because if things go wonky it is nice to know it isn’t the cache.
• Add new ghub-repository-id function. This function works for all supported forges and always returns a string, even for less successful forges that can still get away with using integers as ids.
• Add new ghub-graphql-rate-limit function.
