Unreleased

Changed

• Upgraded dependencies: rust-nostr to 0.45.0-alpha.1 from a patched version to enable publishing ngit-grasp to crates.io, a Rust toolchain bump via Nix flake upgrade, and other Rust dependencies.

1.1.0 - 2026-05-22

Added

• GRASP-06 contributor PR submission endpoint (NGIT_GRASP06_ENABLE, default off). When enabled, the relay accepts unauthenticated git push of refs/nostr/<event-id> to /prs/<npub>/<identifier>.git from any contributor, even for repositories this relay has no accepted announcement for. The corresponding PR (kind 1618) or PR Update (kind 1619) event is accepted into purgatory when its clone tag names this relay's /prs/<signer>/<d>.git endpoint and its a tag's d-tag matches the URL identifier. When the event and the push match (signer, d-tag, c-tag commit) the event is released from purgatory and the ref is mirrored into any accepted-announcement repos on this relay. Empty /prs/ repos (probe pushes, mismatched events) are garbage-collected inline at the three runtime sites that can leave them empty (receive handler at end of push, PR-event policy when discarding a mismatched scoped placeholder, purgatory sweep when a scoped placeholder expires without a matching event) plus a one-shot startup scan that removes any zero-ref /prs/ bare repos left behind by a previous run (crash, mid-cleanup failure, or shutdown with unresolved scoped placeholders). GRASP-06 is advertised in NIP-11 supported_grasps when enabled. See how-to/enable-grasp-06.md and explanation/grasp-06-contributor-pr-submission.md.

Fixed

• Handle HEAD requests for info/refs endpoints (previously returned 405).

1.0.2 - 2026-04-10

Fixed

• Replacement announcements (kind 30617) for a purgatory entry were being saved to the database immediately, bypassing the purgatory gate. When a second copy of the same announcement arrived (e.g. via sync from another relay) while the original was still in purgatory awaiting git data, the policy returned Accept instead of AcceptPurgatory, causing the event to be stored without the corresponding git data or state events ever arriving. The fix returns AcceptPurgatory for replacements of purgatory entries so the updated event is held in purgatory until git data arrives.

• Repository identifiers containing characters that require percent-encoding in URLs (e.g. spaces, emoji) are now accepted and served correctly. NIP-01 places no restriction on d tag values and NIP-34 only recommends kebab-case without mandating it, so rejecting non-kebab identifiers was overly strict. Identifiers are stored verbatim on disk and percent-encoded when used in URLs, per the nostr:// clone URL spec formalised in NIP-34 PR #2312 and the GRASP-01 HTTP path spec. The landing page clone URL now also correctly percent-encodes the identifier.

• --git-dir is now passed as a global git option (before the subcommand) in check_repo_empty, fixing compatibility with git versions that require global options to precede the subcommand.

Changed

• Remove arbitrary default max connections limit; when NGIT_MAX_CONNECTIONS is unset the relay imposes no connection cap, deferring to OS fd limits and infrastructure controls

• Added cleanup-empty-repos subcommand to remove stale events for empty git repositories

1.0.1 - 2026-02-27

Fixed

• Push authorization now correctly ignores refs/tags/<name>^{} peeled-tag entries in state events (kind 30618). These entries are git's internal notation for the dereferenced commit behind an annotated tag and are never sent as part of a push. Previously, their presence in the state event caused can_satisfy_state to reject valid annotated-tag pushes because the would-be ref state after the push did not include the spurious ^{} entry, making the exact-equality check fail.

Changed

• Push auth rejections now send the reason to the git client via ERR pkt-line (e.g. "authorisation failed: No state events in purgatory") instead of a generic HTTP 403, so users see actionable error messages directly in their terminal

1.0.0 - 2026-02-26

Initial release of ngit-grasp, a GRASP relay implementation in Rust.
