v0.17.0-RC1

Breaking changes

UAST UDFs now returns data in a specific format, in a BLOB column. To make gitbase able to return the old JSON format, you need to add --old-uast-serialization on gitbase execution. This format and the flag will be removed in future versions.

New features

• A new way to serialize UASTs
• uast_children new UDF
• uast_extract new UDF

Performance improvements

• Update pilosa to the latest version
• Add partitions to process several repositories at the same time
• Add UAST cache
• Add language cache
• Compile gitbase using oniguruma instead regular regex expressions to make LANGUAGE function faster

Documentation

• Make some snippets copyable
