1 Release notes
2 =============
4 tig master
5 ----------
7 Improvements:
9 - Checkout files with unstaged changes. Bound to '!' by default.
10 - Main: use --topo-order also when rev-list arguments are given on the
11 command line.
13 Bug fixes:
15 - Status: use ls-files' --exclude-standard so user specific ignore
16 rules are effective. The option was added in git version 1.5.4.
18 tig-0.12
19 --------
21 Improvements:
23 - F5 also refreshes the current view.
24 - Allow line graphics to be disabled with new line-graphics option.
25 - Main view: also include the reference names when searching.
26 - Main view: support for refreshing.
27 - Main view: disable boundary commits by default. Use --boundary when
28 they should be shown. (Debian bug 498628)
29 - Stage view: add stage-next action to jump to next diff chunk that can
30 be staged. By default bound to '@'.
31 - Configure: check for the ncurses header files.
32 - Add author-width option to costumize the width of the author column.
33 For example, put the following in ~/.tigrc: set author-width = 10
35 Bug fixes:
37 - Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section.
38 - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the
39 keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view.
40 - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code. Some shells (jsh)
41 installed as /bin/sh does not support it.
42 - Do not show incomplete boundary commits when --no-walk is used.
43 - Documentation: Rename gitlink macro to support AsciiDoc 8.2.3.
44 - Ignore pipe reads with errno "Success" reported after a signals,
45 for example when refreshing doing background loading.
47 tig-0.11
48 --------
50 Incompatibilities:
52 - Remove parsing of deprecated options: -g, -l, -d.
53 - The first seen '--' will stop option parsing and is passed to git
54 instead of breaking out of tig's option parsing.
56 New features:
58 - Blame view; bound to 'B' by default, reachable from the command line
59 and the tree, status, and stage views.
60 - Blame/main view: allow display of date, author, and references to be
61 toggled on/off. Bound to 'D', 'A', and 'F' respectively.
62 - Add action to maximize the current view.
64 Improvements:
66 - Show the current branch in the status view.
67 - Show local/light-weight tags.
69 Bug fixes:
71 - Fix regressions for the pager mode.
72 - Fix refreshing of the index with working directory info.
74 tig-0.10.1
75 ----------
77 Improvements:
79 - Status view: detect renamed files and show them with 'R'.
80 - Status view: refresh the index to avoid "empty diffs".
81 - Diff view: make diff headers more verbose to include e.g. committer.
82 - Configure: check for the ncursesw library.
84 Bug fixes:
86 - Fix UTF8 handling for tag names and commit messages.
87 - Fix the check for git-config(1) in configure to handle the case when
88 git has been installed using a libexecdir which is not in the path.
89 - Fix replacing of SYSCONFDIR when installing from released tarballs.
91 tig-0.10
92 ---------
94 Incompatibilities:
96 - Deprecate most tig specific command line options to make tig more
97 compatible with gitk. The deprecated options are: -g, -l, -d, and -S.
98 Use of any of them will result in a warning being printed to stderr.
99 Instead of '-S', use the new 'status' subcommand.
100 - Make man page building depend on DocBook XSL version >= 1.72.0.
101 - Install man pages in $(prefix)/share/man.
102 - Implement the cherry pick action (bound to 'C') using new support for
103 running external commands. This obsoletes the TIG_CHEERY_PICK
104 environment variable
106 New features:
108 - Add support for binding keys to external commands. To bind '.' to
109 running git-commit(1), add the line: "bind generic . !git commit" to
110 your ~/.tigrc. Each command can have replacement string such as
111 %(commit), %(head), and %(blob), which are substituted before the
112 command is run.
113 - Add system-wide configuration file defaulting to $(prefix)/etc/tigrc.
114 - Add the environment variables TIGRC_USER and TIGRC_SYSTEM to change
115 user and system-wide configuration files, respectively.
117 Improvements:
119 - Main view: color the revision graph.
120 - Main view: show boundary commits; they are marked with '^' in the
121 revision graph.
122 - Tree view: add tree-parent action to jump to view of the parent tree.
123 Bound to ',' by default.
124 - Allow the default terminal colors to be overwritten. To use black
125 text on white, add the line "color default white black" to your
126 ~/.tigrc.
127 - Misc. documentation improvements.
129 Bug fixes:
131 - Use git-diff-index(1) and git-diff-files(1) instead of git-diff(1) to
132 avoid running external diff drivers.
133 - Use --no-color when calling git-log(1).
134 - Fix crash when opening mergetool for lines that are not unmerged.
136 tig-0.9.1
137 ---------

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