1 Release notes
2 =============
4 tig-0.12
5 --------
7 Improvements:
9 - F5 also refreshes the current view.
10 - Allow line graphics to be disabled with new line-graphics option.
11 - Main view: also include the reference names when searching.
12 - Main view: support for refreshing.
13 - Main view: disable boundary commits by default. Use --boundary when
14 they should be shown. (Debian bug 498628)
15 - Stage view: add stage-next action to jump to next diff chunk that can
16 be staged. By default bound to '@'.
17 - Configure: check for the ncurses header files.
18 - Add author-width option to costumize the width of the author column.
19 For example, put the following in ~/.tigrc: set author-width = 10
21 Bug fixes:
23 - Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section.
24 - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the
25 keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view.
26 - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code. Some shells (jsh)
27 installed as /bin/sh does not support it.
28 - Do not show incomplete boundary commits when --no-walk is used.
29 - Documentation: Rename gitlink macro to support AsciiDoc 8.2.3.
30 - Ignore pipe reads with errno "Success" reported after a signals,
31 for example when refreshing doing background loading.
33 tig-0.11
34 --------
36 Incompatibilities:
38 - Remove parsing of deprecated options: -g, -l, -d.
39 - The first seen '--' will stop option parsing and is passed to git
40 instead of breaking out of tig's option parsing.
42 New features:
44 - Blame view; bound to 'B' by default, reachable from the command line
45 and the tree, status, and stage views.
46 - Blame/main view: allow display of date, author, and references to be
47 toggled on/off. Bound to 'D', 'A', and 'F' respectively.
48 - Add action to maximize the current view.

52 - Show the current branch in the status view.
53 - Show local/light-weight tags.

60 tig-0.10.1
61 ----------
63 Improvements:
65 - Status view: detect renamed files and show them with 'R'.
66 - Status view: refresh the index to avoid "empty diffs".
67 - Diff view: make diff headers more verbose to include e.g. committer.
68 - Configure: check for the ncursesw library.
70 Bug fixes:
72 - Fix UTF8 handling for tag names and commit messages.
73 - Fix the check for git-config(1) in configure to handle the case when
74 git has been installed using a libexecdir which is not in the path.

77 tig-0.10
78 ---------
80 Incompatibilities:
82 - Deprecate most tig specific command line options to make tig more
83 compatible with gitk. The deprecated options are: -g, -l, -d, and -S.
84 Use of any of them will result in a warning being printed to stderr.
85 Instead of '-S', use the new 'status' subcommand.
86 - Make man page building depend on DocBook XSL version >= 1.72.0.
87 - Install man pages in $(prefix)/share/man.
88 - Implement the cherry pick action (bound to 'C') using new support for
89 running external commands. This obsoletes the TIG_CHEERY_PICK
90 environment variable
92 New features:
94 - Add support for binding keys to external commands. To bind '.' to
95 running git-commit(1), add the line: "bind generic . !git commit" to
96 your ~/.tigrc. Each command can have replacement string such as
97 %(commit), %(head), and %(blob), which are substituted before the
98 command is run.
99 - Add system-wide configuration file defaulting to $(prefix)/etc/tigrc.
100 - Add the environment variables TIGRC_USER and TIGRC_SYSTEM to change
101 user and system-wide configuration files, respectively.
103 Improvements:
105 - Main view: color the revision graph.
106 - Main view: show boundary commits; they are marked with '^' in the
107 revision graph.
108 - Tree view: add tree-parent action to jump to view of the parent tree.
109 Bound to ',' by default.
110 - Allow the default terminal colors to be overwritten. To use black
111 text on white, add the line "color default white black" to your
112 ~/.tigrc.
113 - Misc. documentation improvements.
115 Bug fixes:
117 - Use git-diff-index(1) and git-diff-files(1) instead of git-diff(1) to
118 avoid running external diff drivers.
119 - Use --no-color when calling git-log(1).
120 - Fix crash when opening mergetool for lines that are not unmerged.
122 tig-0.9.1
123 ---------

133 current branch. Bound to 'C' by default.

137 - Add support for launching git-mergetool(1) from the status view.
138 Bound to 'M' by default.
139 - Add support for refreshing/reloading the status view

145 - Fix editor invocation to make paths relative to the project root.
146 - Fix out-of-range current line when reloading the status view.
