Apologies for the massive changes in the external API (that's my fault),
and for the terrible codename for this release (that's @tclem's fault).
The detailed overview for the major API changes can be found in the
commit at 72a3fe42fb.
Major new features in this release:
- Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects
- Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB
- Streaming writes & reads from the ODB
- Single-method writes for all object types
- The external API is now partially thread-safe
- Improved reference handling
- New method to list references
- ZLib is now built-in
- Improvements to the Revision Walker
- Tons of bug fixes
Thanks to all the contributors who make this possible.

- Pack backend rewritten from scratch (better)
- Revision walker rewritten from scratch (faster)
- New object interdependency system (stronger)
- Unique OID shortener
- Reference listing
