Git-multimail

This release has been well tested, but contains possibly controversial
changes visible to the user. It is an alpha release in the sense that
the user-interface may still change before the final release depending
on the user feedback.
- It is now possible to exclude some refs (e.g. exclude some branches
or tags). See refFilterDoSendRegex, refFilterDontSendRegex,
refFilterInclusionRegex and refFilterExclusionRegex.
- New commitEmailFormat option which can be set to "html" to generate
simple colorized diffs using HTML for the commit emails.
- git-multimail can now be ran as a Gerrit ref-updated hook, or from
Atlassian Stash.
- The From: field is now more customizeable. It can be set
independently for refchange emails and commit emails (see
fromCommit, fromRefChange). The special values pusher and author can
be used in these configuration variable.
- A new command-line option, --version, was added. The version is also
available in the X-Git-Multimail-Version header of sent emails.
- Set X-Git-NotificationType header to differentiate the various types
of notifications. Current values are: diff, ref_changed_plus_diff,
ref_changed.
- Preliminary support for Python 3. The testsuite passes with Python 3,
but it has not received as much testing as the Python 2 version yet.
- Several encoding-related fixes. UTF-8 characters work in more
situations (but non-ascii characters in email address are still not
supported).
- The testsuite and its documentation has been greatly improved.

Plus all the bugfixes from version 1.1.1.

This version has been tested with Python 2.4 and 2.6 to 3.5, and Git
v1.7.10-406-gdc801e7, git-1.8.2.3 and 2.6.0-rc0. Git versions prior to
v1.7.10-406-gdc801e7 probably work, but cannot run the testsuite
properly.

Changes since 1.2 Alpha 1: testsuite improvements and fixes, better
HTML formatting.

This is an early preview of the future 1.2 release.

The SMTP mailer was not working with Python 2.4.

- When a single commit is pushed, omit the reference changed email. Set multimailhook.combineWhenSingleCommit to false to disable this new feature.
- In gitolite environments, the pusher's email address can be used as the From address by creating a specially formatted comment block in gitolite.conf (see multimailhook.from in README).
- Support for SMTP authentication and SSL/TLS encryption was added, see smtpUser, smtpPass, smtpEncryption in README.
- A new option scanCommitForCc was added to allow git-multimail to search the commit message for 'Cc: ...' lines, and add the corresponding emails in Cc.
- If $USER is not set, use the variable $USERNAME. This is needed on Windows platform to recognize the pusher.
- The emailPrefix variable can now be set to an empty string to remove the prefix.
- A short tutorial was added in doc/gitolite.rst to set up git-multimail with gitolite.
- The post-receive file was renamed to post-receive.example. It has always been an example (the standard way to call git-multimail is to call git_multimail.py), but it was unclear to many users.
- A new refchangeShowGraph option was added to make it possible to include both a graph and a log in the summary emails. The options to control the graph formatting can be set via the new graphOpts
option.
- New option --force-send was added to disable new commit detection for update hook. One use-case is to run git_multimail.py after running "git fetch" to send emails about commits that have just been fetched (the detection of new commits was unreliable in this mode).
- The testing infrastructure was considerably improved (continuous integration with travis-ci, automatic check of PEP8 and RST syntax, many improvements to the test scripts).

This version has been tested with Python 2.4 to 2.7, and Git 1.7.1 to 2.4.
