New and Noteworthy 6.7
JGit has learned to handle the git config file
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config, if it exists. EGit shows this extra git
config file in the preferences dialog in section "Version Control
(Team)→Git→Configuration", and also in the properties view of a
repository.
JGit 6.7.0 has added support for using PKCS#11 Hardware Security Modules
for SSH public-key authentication. EGit transparently inherits this
feature. All configuration is via the ~/.ssh/config SSH configuration
file; there is no UI. Please see the new features in
JGit
for hints on how to configure this.
EGit will prompt for the HSM token's PIN upon first use, and subsequently only when required by the HSM, as long as the application using EGit runs. After a restart of the application, or when the HSM device is removed or re-inserted, it may prompt again.
The complete list of new features and bug fixes is available in the release notes.
The following 3 developers worked on this release:
Jörg Kubitz, Matthias Sohn, Thomas Wolf
