macsAirI am excited to announce the release of Forge version 0.3, consisting of 48 commits since the last release four months ago.
Forge lets you work with Git “forges”, such as Github and Gitlab, from the comfort of Magit and the rest of Emacs.
Many actions that were surprisingly slow are much faster now, because an embarrassing bottleneck was removed in Closql v1.2.0.
Added new option forge-database-connector allowing the use of other
database connector libraries beside emacsql-sqlite (currently only
emacsql-libsqlite3 (experimental) and emacsql-sqlite3 (discouraged)).

Commands that take a topic or repository as argument now expect an
object/row ID instead of an object or a number. Objects are not
suitable as interactive arguments because their printed
representation would be presented to the user when using
repeat-complex-command, and because they might not reflect the
current state when used like that. Numbers would be more readable
and actually meaningful to humans, but additionally they would be
ambiguous. Non-interactive functions continue to expect objects
as arguments. #368
Some essential key bindings that were somewhat randomly selected
during initial development have now been changed for consistency,
which I always intended to do, but did not get around to do until
now. forge-dispatch is now bound to N instead of ' and Forge’s
bindings in magit-fetch and magit-pull now use N and n instead of
Y and y. N was chosen because it was one of the last alphabetic
keys available at the top-level in Magit. 8c9614e3 et al.
Other improvements and bugfixes are mentioned in the changelog.
