Release notes
=============

tig master
----------

Improvements:

 - Status view: improve "on branch" information inspired by the prompt
   code in git's bash completion script.
 - Colors for 256-capable terminals can be specified as colorN.
 - Entering a number in the prompt will jump to that line number.
 - Handle core.worktree by setting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.

Bug fixes:

 - Status view: show error when failing to open a file.
 - Status view: report failures to update a file.
 - Blame view: fix problem with uninitialized variable.
 - Blame view: use line number information when loading blame for
   specific commit.

tig-0.14
--------

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.
 - The "author" color replaces "main-author". Setting the latter will
   now set the "author" color.

Improvements:

 - Horizontal scrolling. Bound to Left/Right by default.
 - Read tigrc(5) options from git configuration files using the syntax:

	[tig] show-rev-graph = true
	[tig "color"] cursor = yellow red bold 
	[tig "bind"] generic = P parent

 - 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 customize 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 UTF-8 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.

 - 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.

 - 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.

   by default.
