Release notes ============= tig master ---------- Incompatibilities: - The screen-resize action has been deprecated. It had no real use for users and was never meant to be exposed. - The "tree-parent" action was renamed to "parent". Warnings will be emitted for transition. - Remove parsing of deprecated option -S and subcommands log and diff. Improvements: - Horizontal scrolling. Bound to Left/Right by default. - Tree view: avoid flickering when updating. - Tree view: annotate entries with commit information. - Tree & blob view: open any blob in an editor. - Stage & main view: restore view position when reloading. - Blame view: load blame for parent commit. For merge commits the parent is queried. Bound to ',' by default via the existing "parent" action. - Abbreviate author names to initials when the width of the author column is below 6 characters. Bug fixes: - Tree view: fix memory corruption bug when updating. - Tree view: improve handling of empty trees. - Status view: fix reverting of unmerged files. - Fix regression for non-UTF-8 locales corrupting the view data. - Fix regression parsing multiple spaces in ~/.tigrc. tig-0.13 -------- Incompatibilities: - Commands from the environment (e.g. TIG_MAIN_CMD) will no longer have access to shell features, such as subshells and variable expansion. The easiest way to upgrade your configuration is to put such commands in a script file. Improvements: - Display repository references in the sorted order: tags, heads, tracked remotes, remotes. - Add bash completion for blame. - Tree view: edit files of the current branch. - Run requests: new identifiers %(directory), %(file), and %(ref) - Improve responsiveness and view loading speed by using select(2). Bug fixes: - Separate blame revision and file argument by "--" to avoid problems. - Main view: fix redrawing of the last commit wrt. the revision graph. - Fix waiting for input after executing a run request in pager mode. - Status & stage view: refuse to open directories and deleted files. - Tree view: show error when requesting blame for all non-file entries. - Do not draw loading views, which are not displayed. - Fix launching of mergetool from a subdirectory. tig-0.12.1 ---------- Improvements: - Status view: revert uncommitted diff chunks and unstaged files with changes. Bound to '!' by default. - Main view: use --topo-order also when rev-list arguments are given on the command line. - Log view: support for refreshing. Bug fixes: - Status view: use ls-files' --exclude-standard so user specific ignore rules are effective. The option was added in git version 1.5.4. - Stage view: fix assertion failure triggered when updating while status view is not displayed. - Help view: avoid confusion by showing "(no key)" instead of "'?'" for unbound requests. - Reload repository references when refreshing the main (and log) view. - Do not maximize views when refreshing. tig-0.12 -------- Improvements: - F5 also refreshes the current view. - Allow line graphics to be disabled with new line-graphics option. - Main view: also include the reference names when searching. - Main view: support for refreshing. - Main view: disable boundary commits by default. Use --boundary when they should be shown. (Debian bug 498628) - Stage view: add stage-next action to jump to next diff chunk that can be staged. By default bound to '@'. - Configure: check for the ncurses header files. - Add author-width option to costumize the width of the author column. For example, put the following in ~/.tigrc: set author-width = 10 Bug fixes: - Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section. - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view. - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code. Some shells (jsh) installed as /bin/sh does not support it. - Do not show incomplete boundary commits when --no-walk is used. - Documentation: Rename gitlink macro to support AsciiDoc 8.2.3. - Ignore pipe reads with errno "Success" reported after a signals, for example when refreshing doing background loading. tig-0.11 -------- Incompatibilities: - Remove parsing of deprecated options: -g, -l, -d. - The first seen '--' will stop option parsing and is passed to git instead of breaking out of tig's option parsing. New features: - Blame view; bound to 'B' by default, reachable from the command line and the tree, status, and stage views. - Blame/main view: allow display of date, author, and references to be toggled on/off. Bound to 'D', 'A', and 'F' respectively. - Add action to maximize the current view. Improvements: - Show the current branch in the status view. - Show local/light-weight tags. Bug fixes: - Fix regressions for the pager mode. - Fix refreshing of the index with working directory info. tig-0.10.1 ---------- Improvements: - Status view: detect renamed files and show them with 'R'. - Status view: refresh the index to avoid "empty diffs". - Diff view: make diff headers more verbose to include e.g. committer. - Configure: check for the ncursesw library. Bug fixes: - Fix UTF8 handling for tag names and commit messages. - Fix the check for git-config(1) in configure to handle the case when git has been installed using a libexecdir which is not in the path. - Fix replacing of SYSCONFDIR when installing from released tarballs. tig-0.10 --------- Incompatibilities: - Deprecate most tig specific command line options to make tig more compatible with gitk. The deprecated options are: -g, -l, -d, and -S. Use of any of them will result in a warning being printed to stderr. Instead of '-S', use the new 'status' subcommand. - Make man page building depend on DocBook XSL version >= 1.72.0. - Install man pages in $(prefix)/share/man. - Implement the cherry pick action (bound to 'C') using new support for running external commands. This obsoletes the TIG_CHEERY_PICK environment variable New features: - Add support for binding keys to external commands. To bind '.' to running git-commit(1), add the line: "bind generic . !git commit" to your ~/.tigrc. Each command can have replacement string such as %(commit), %(head), and %(blob), which are substituted before the command is run. - Add system-wide configuration file defaulting to $(prefix)/etc/tigrc. - Add the environment variables TIGRC_USER and TIGRC_SYSTEM to change user and system-wide configuration files, respectively. Improvements: - Main view: color the revision graph. - Main view: show boundary commits; they are marked with '^' in the revision graph. - Tree view: add tree-parent action to jump to view of the parent tree. Bound to ',' by default. - Allow the default terminal colors to be overwritten. To use black text on white, add the line "color default white black" to your ~/.tigrc. - Misc. documentation improvements. Bug fixes: - Use git-diff-index(1) and git-diff-files(1) instead of git-diff(1) to avoid running external diff drivers. - Use --no-color when calling git-log(1). - Fix crash when opening mergetool for lines that are not unmerged. tig-0.9.1 --------- Incompatibilities: - Make the clean rule to never remove generated documentation files. Use the distclean rule for accomplishing this. New features: - Add support for cherry-picking commits in the main view to the current branch. Bound to 'C' by default. Improvements: - Add support for launching git-mergetool(1) from the status view. Bound to 'M' by default. - Add support for refreshing/reloading the status view - Detect working trees and disable the status view when it is missing. Bug fixes: - Fix iconv() checking in configure. - Fix editor invocation to make paths relative to the project root. - Fix out-of-range current line when reloading the status view. - Include autoconf files in the tarball generated by `make dist`. tig-0.9 ------- New features: - Add bash completion script for tig (contrib/tig-completion.bash). - Add optional autoconf-based build infrastructure. - Add stage view for showing changes in the working tree and add support for staging individual diff chunks for commit. Improvements: - Status view: allow all files in a section to be staged for commit. - Status view: Add support for opening files in an editor. Bound to 'e' by default. - Tree view: use a stack for remembering the lines for parent tree.
