1 Release notes
2 =============
4 tig-0.12.1
5 ----------
7 Improvements:
9 - Status view: revert uncommitted diff chunks and unstaged files with
10 changes. Bound to '!' by default.
11 - Main view: use --topo-order also when rev-list arguments are given on
12 the command line.
13 - Log view: support for refreshing.
15 Bug fixes:
17 - Status view: use ls-files' --exclude-standard so user specific ignore
18 rules are effective. The option was added in git version 1.5.4.
19 - Stage view: fix assertion failure triggered when updating while
20 status view is not displayed.
21 - Help view: avoid confusion by showing "(no key)" instead of "'?'" for
22 unbound requests.
23 - Reload repository references when refreshing the main (and log) view.
24 - Do not maximize views when refreshing.
26 tig-0.12
27 --------
29 Improvements:
31 - F5 also refreshes the current view.
32 - Allow line graphics to be disabled with new line-graphics option.
33 - Main view: also include the reference names when searching.
34 - Main view: support for refreshing.
35 - Main view: disable boundary commits by default. Use --boundary when
36 they should be shown. (Debian bug 498628)
37 - Stage view: add stage-next action to jump to next diff chunk that can
38 be staged. By default bound to '@'.
39 - Configure: check for the ncurses header files.
40 - Add author-width option to costumize the width of the author column.
41 For example, put the following in ~/.tigrc: set author-width = 10
43 Bug fixes:
45 - Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section.
46 - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the
47 keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view.
48 - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code. Some shells (jsh)
49 installed as /bin/sh does not support it.
50 - Do not show incomplete boundary commits when --no-walk is used.
51 - Documentation: Rename gitlink macro to support AsciiDoc 8.2.3.
52 - Ignore pipe reads with errno "Success" reported after a signals,
53 for example when refreshing doing background loading.
55 tig-0.11
56 --------
58 Incompatibilities:
60 - Remove parsing of deprecated options: -g, -l, -d.
61 - The first seen '--' will stop option parsing and is passed to git
62 instead of breaking out of tig's option parsing.
64 New features:
66 - Blame view; bound to 'B' by default, reachable from the command line
67 and the tree, status, and stage views.
68 - Blame/main view: allow display of date, author, and references to be
69 toggled on/off. Bound to 'D', 'A', and 'F' respectively.
70 - Add action to maximize the current view.

90 - Configure: check for the ncursesw library.
92 Bug fixes:
94 - Fix UTF8 handling for tag names and commit messages.
95 - Fix the check for git-config(1) in configure to handle the case when
96 git has been installed using a libexecdir which is not in the path.

99 tig-0.10
100 ---------
102 Incompatibilities:
104 - Deprecate most tig specific command line options to make tig more
105 compatible with gitk. The deprecated options are: -g, -l, -d, and -S.
106 Use of any of them will result in a warning being printed to stderr.
107 Instead of '-S', use the new 'status' subcommand.
108 - Make man page building depend on DocBook XSL version >= 1.72.0.
109 - Install man pages in $(prefix)/share/man.
110 - Implement the cherry pick action (bound to 'C') using new support for
111 running external commands. This obsoletes the TIG_CHEERY_PICK
112 environment variable
114 New features:
116 - Add support for binding keys to external commands. To bind '.' to
117 running git-commit(1), add the line: "bind generic . !git commit" to
118 your ~/.tigrc. Each command can have replacement string such as
119 %(commit), %(head), and %(blob), which are substituted before the
120 command is run.
121 - Add system-wide configuration file defaulting to $(prefix)/etc/tigrc.
122 - Add the environment variables TIGRC_USER and TIGRC_SYSTEM to change
123 user and system-wide configuration files, respectively.
125 Improvements:
127 - Main view: color the revision graph.
128 - Main view: show boundary commits; they are marked with '^' in the
129 revision graph.
130 - Tree view: add tree-parent action to jump to view of the parent tree.
131 Bound to ',' by default.
132 - Allow the default terminal colors to be overwritten. To use black
133 text on white, add the line "color default white black" to your
134 ~/.tigrc.
135 - Misc. documentation improvements.
137 Bug fixes:
139 - Use git-diff-index(1) and git-diff-files(1) instead of git-diff(1) to
140 avoid running external diff drivers.
141 - Use --no-color when calling git-log(1).
142 - Fix crash when opening mergetool for lines that are not unmerged.
144 tig-0.9.1

167 - Fix editor invocation to make paths relative to the project root.
