1 Release notes
2 =============
4 tig master branch
5 -----------------
7 Improvements:
9 - F5 also refreshes the current view.
10 - Allow line graphics to be disabled with new line-graphics option.
11 - Also include the reference names when searching.
13 Bug fixes:
15 - Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section.
16 - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the
17 keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view.
18 - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code. Some shells (jsh)
19 installed as /bin/sh does not support it.
21 tig-0.11
22 --------
24 Incompatibilities:
26 - Remove parsing of deprecated options: -g, -l, -d.
27 - The first seen '--' will stop option parsing and is passed to git
28 instead of breaking out of tig's option parsing.
30 New features:
32 - Blame view; bound to 'B' by default, reachable from the command line
33 and the tree, status, and stage views.
34 - Blame/main view: allow display of date, author, and references to be
35 toggled on/off. Bound to 'D', 'A', and 'F' respectively.
36 - Add action to maximize the current view.
38 Improvements:
40 - Show the current branch in the status view.
41 - Show local/light-weight tags.
43 Bug fixes:
45 - Fix regressions for the pager mode.
46 - Fix refreshing of the index with working directory info.
48 tig-0.10.1
49 ----------
51 Improvements:
53 - Status view: detect renamed files and show them with 'R'.
54 - Status view: refresh the index to avoid "empty diffs".
55 - Diff view: make diff headers more verbose to include e.g. committer.
56 - Configure: check for the ncursesw library.
58 Bug fixes:
60 - Fix UTF8 handling for tag names and commit messages.
61 - Fix the check for git-config(1) in configure to handle the case when
62 git has been installed using a libexecdir which is not in the path.
63 - Fix replacing of SYSCONFDIR when installing from released tarballs.
65 tig-0.10
66 ---------
68 Incompatibilities:
70 - Deprecate most tig specific command line options to make tig more
71 compatible with gitk. The deprecated options are: -g, -l, -d, and -S.
72 Use of any of them will result in a warning being printed to stderr.
73 Instead of '-S', use the new 'status' subcommand.
74 - Make man page building depend on DocBook XSL version >= 1.72.0.
75 - Install man pages in $(prefix)/share/man.
76 - Implement the cherry pick action (bound to 'C') using new support for
77 running external commands. This obsoletes the TIG_CHEERY_PICK
78 environment variable
80 New features:
82 - Add support for binding keys to external commands. To bind '.' to
83 running git-commit(1), add the line: "bind generic . !git commit" to
84 your ~/.tigrc. Each command can have replacement string such as
85 %(commit), %(head), and %(blob), which are substituted before the
86 command is run.
87 - Add system-wide configuration file defaulting to $(prefix)/etc/tigrc.
88 - Add the environment variables TIGRC_USER and TIGRC_SYSTEM to change
89 user and system-wide configuration files, respectively.
91 Improvements:
93 - Main view: color the revision graph.
94 - Main view: show boundary commits; they are marked with '^' in the
95 revision graph.
96 - Tree view: add tree-parent action to jump to view of the parent tree.
97 Bound to ',' by default.
98 - Allow the default terminal colors to be overwritten. To use black
99 text on white, add the line "color default white black" to your
100 ~/.tigrc.
101 - Misc. documentation improvements.
103 Bug fixes:
105 - Use git-diff-index(1) and git-diff-files(1) instead of git-diff(1) to
106 avoid running external diff drivers.
107 - Use --no-color when calling git-log(1).
108 - Fix crash when opening mergetool for lines that are not unmerged.
110 tig-0.9.1
111 ---------
113 Incompatibilities:
115 - Make the clean rule to never remove generated documentation files.
116 Use the distclean rule for accomplishing this.
118 New features:
120 - Add support for cherry-picking commits in the main view to the
121 current branch. Bound to 'C' by default.
123 Improvements:
125 - Add support for launching git-mergetool(1) from the status view.
126 Bound to 'M' by default.
127 - Add support for refreshing/reloading the status view

130 Bug fixes:
132 - Fix iconv() checking in configure.
133 - Fix editor invocation to make paths relative to the project root.
134 - Fix out-of-range current line when reloading the status view.
135 - Include autoconf files in the tarball generated by `make dist`.

151 by default.
