Release notes
=============
-tig master
----------
+master
+------
+
+Incompatibilities:
+
+ - Encode everything internally as UTF-8. This can affect performance,
+ but should in general improve handling of character lengths etc.
+ Also, to properly handle UTF-8 environments use ncurses with wide
+ character support.
+
+Improvements:
+
+ - Status view: update the file variable when a line is selected so
+ %(file) works as expected.
+ - Branch view: add %(branch) symbol providing access to the selected
+ branch.
+ - Branch view: add entry to browse all branches (uses git-log's --all
+ flag).
+ - Abbreviation of author names can now be configured and toggled.
+ - Mark detached heads with [HEAD].
+ - Add support for displaying dates in local time.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - Status view: fix usage from sub directories, which was broken by the
+ changes made to support blame view from sub directories.
+ - Fix parsing of boolean show-date values.
+ - Fix relative date.
+ - Fix unbind to behave as if the keybinding was never defined.
+ - Fix unbind to also cover built-in run requests.
+ - Fix parsing of unknown keymap names.
+
+tig-0.15
+--------
Incompatibilities:
- Setting the cursor color no longer automatically sets the text to
bold. The old 'lazy' behavior was a bug.
+ - Remove check for git-repo-config, which was officially deprecated in
+ git version 1.5.4. The configure script no longer depends on git
+ being installed.
Improvements:
+ - Provide the manual as a man page named tigmanual(7).
- Add ability to toggle between showing shorter dates (without time
info) and relative dates. Use 'D' to toggle between date formats.
- Show the active (instead of the default) keybindings in the help
