1 Release notes
2 =============
4 tig master
5 ----------
7 Bug fixes:
9 - Fix problem with empty diff views when file specs were passed on the
10 command line.
11 - Fix segfault when starting tig in pager mode.
13 tig-0.16
14 --------
16 Incompatibilities:
18 - Encode everything internally as UTF-8. This can affect performance,
19 but should in general improve handling of character lengths etc.
20 Also, to properly handle UTF-8 environments use ncurses with wide
21 character support.
22 - The use of TIG_{MAIN,DIFF,LOG,TREE,BLOB}_CMD environment variables
23 has been deprecated. To allow configuration of the diff view,
24 TIG_DIFF_OPTS can be used.
26 Improvements:
28 - Plug several memory leaks.
29 - Command line arguments are split into diff, revision, and file
30 arguments and made available as %(diffargs), %(revargs), and
31 %(fileargs). Diff view will limit diffs using %(fileargs).
32 - Status view: update the file variable when a line is selected so
33 %(file) works as expected.
34 - Branch view: add %(branch) symbol providing access to the selected
35 branch.
36 - Branch view: add entry to browse all branches (uses git-log's --all
37 flag).
38 - Abbreviation of author names can now be configured and toggled.
39 - Mark detached heads with [HEAD].
40 - Add support for displaying dates in local time.
42 Bug fixes:
44 - Status view: fix usage from sub directories, which was broken by the
45 changes made to support blame view from sub directories.
46 - Fix text expansion to not truncate long lines
47 - Fix parsing of boolean show-date values.
48 - Fix relative date.
49 - Fix unbind to behave as if the keybinding was never defined.
50 - Fix unbind to also cover built-in run requests.
51 - Fix parsing of unknown keymap names.
52 - Blame view: fix parent blame to detect renames. It uses "previous"
53 line info from the blame porcelain output added in git version 1.6.3.
55 tig-0.15
56 --------
58 Incompatibilities:
60 - Setting the cursor color no longer automatically sets the text to
61 bold. The old 'lazy' behavior was a bug.
62 - Remove check for git-repo-config, which was officially deprecated in
63 git version 1.5.4. The configure script no longer depends on git
64 being installed.
66 Improvements:
68 - Provide the manual as a man page named tigmanual(7).
69 - Add ability to toggle between showing shorter dates (without time
70 info) and relative dates. Use 'D' to toggle between date formats.
71 - Show the active (instead of the default) keybindings in the help
72 view. Furthermore, honor the keymap when suggesting actions in the
73 help messages.
74 - Add branch view for choosing which branch to display in the main
75 view. Bound to 'H' by default.
76 - Tree view: show entry to parent directory ('..') when running from
77 subdirectory.
78 - Tree view: sort entries by name, date or author. Toggling is bound to
79 'i' by default, with 'I' controlling whether or not to sort in
80 ascending order.
81 - Make height of the lower view in a split view configurable by setting
82 the 'split-view-height' variable to a number or a percentage.
83 Defaults to 2/3 of the total view height.
84 - Allow multiple text attributes for color commands:
86 color cursor white blue underline bold
88 Bug fixes:
90 - Blame view: fix loading of blame data when opened from the tree view
91 and CWD is not the repo root. (Debian bug 540766)
92 - Tree view: fix searching.
94 tig-0.14.1
95 ----------
97 Improvements:
99 - Status view: improve "on branch" information inspired by the prompt
100 code in git's bash completion script.
101 - Colors for 256-capable terminals can be specified as colorN.
102 - Entering a number in the prompt will jump to that line number.
103 - Handle core.worktree by setting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.
104 - Make behavior of horizontal scrolling configurable by setting the
105 'horizontal-scroll' variable to a number or a percentage. Defaults to
106 scrolling 50% of the view width.
108 Bug fixes:
110 - Status view: show error when failing to open a file.
111 - Status view: report failures to update a file.
112 - Blame view: fix problem with uninitialized variable.
113 - Blame view: use line number information when loading blame for
114 specific commit.

116 - Fix horizontal scrolling glitches.
118 tig-0.14

121 Incompatibilities:
123 - The screen-resize action has been deprecated. It had no real use for
124 users and was never meant to be exposed.
125 - The "tree-parent" action was renamed to "parent". Warnings will be
126 emitted for transition.
127 - Remove parsing of deprecated option -S and subcommands log and diff.
128 - The "author" color replaces "main-author". Setting the latter will
129 now set the "author" color.
131 Improvements:
133 - Horizontal scrolling. Bound to Left/Right by default.
134 - Read tigrc(5) options from git configuration files using the syntax:
136 [tig] show-rev-graph = true
137 [tig "color"] cursor = yellow red bold
138 [tig "bind"] generic = P parent
140 - Tree view: avoid flickering when updating.
141 - Tree view: annotate entries with commit information.
142 - Tree & blob view: open any blob in an editor.

160 Incompatibilities:
162 - Commands from the environment (e.g. TIG_MAIN_CMD) will no longer have
163 access to shell features, such as subshells and variable expansion.
164 The easiest way to upgrade your configuration is to put such commands

202 status view is not displayed.
203 - Help view: avoid confusion by showing "(no key)" instead of "'?'" for

220 be staged. By default bound to '@'.

228 - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the
229 keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view.

302 command is run.
