1 Release notes
2 =============
4 tig master
5 ----------
7 Bug fixes:
9 - Fix set_tabsize() compile error for older versions of ncurses.
11 tig-0.16.1
12 ----------
14 Improvements:
16 - Add scroll-first-col action to jump to the first column. Bound to '|'
17 by default.
18 - Add 'status-untracked-dirs' option to ignore unknown directories
19 contents in the status view. On by default.
21 Bug fixes:
23 - Fix 'tig show <commit>' to show the provided commit.
24 - Fix problem with empty diff views when file specs were passed on the
25 command line.
26 - Fix segfault when starting tig in pager mode.
28 tig-0.16
29 --------
31 Incompatibilities:
33 - Encode everything internally as UTF-8. This can affect performance,
34 but should in general improve handling of character lengths etc.
35 Also, to properly handle UTF-8 environments use ncurses with wide
36 character support.
37 - The use of TIG_{MAIN,DIFF,LOG,TREE,BLOB}_CMD environment variables
38 has been deprecated. To allow configuration of the diff view,
39 TIG_DIFF_OPTS can be used.
41 Improvements:
43 - Plug several memory leaks.
44 - Command line arguments are split into diff, revision, and file
45 arguments and made available as %(diffargs), %(revargs), and
46 %(fileargs). Diff view will limit diffs using %(fileargs).
47 - Status view: update the file variable when a line is selected so
48 %(file) works as expected.
49 - Branch view: add %(branch) symbol providing access to the selected
50 branch.
51 - Branch view: add entry to browse all branches (uses git-log's --all
52 flag).
53 - Abbreviation of author names can now be configured and toggled.
54 - Mark detached heads with [HEAD].
55 - Add support for displaying dates in local time.
57 Bug fixes:
59 - Status view: fix usage from sub directories, which was broken by the
60 changes made to support blame view from sub directories.
61 - Fix text expansion to not truncate long lines
62 - Fix parsing of boolean show-date values.
63 - Fix relative date.
64 - Fix unbind to behave as if the keybinding was never defined.
65 - Fix unbind to also cover built-in run requests.
66 - Fix parsing of unknown keymap names.
67 - Blame view: fix parent blame to detect renames. It uses "previous"
68 line info from the blame porcelain output added in git version 1.6.3.
70 tig-0.15
71 --------
73 Incompatibilities:
75 - Setting the cursor color no longer automatically sets the text to
76 bold. The old 'lazy' behavior was a bug.
77 - Remove check for git-repo-config, which was officially deprecated in
78 git version 1.5.4. The configure script no longer depends on git
79 being installed.
81 Improvements:
83 - Provide the manual as a man page named tigmanual(7).
84 - Add ability to toggle between showing shorter dates (without time
85 info) and relative dates. Use 'D' to toggle between date formats.
86 - Show the active (instead of the default) keybindings in the help
87 view. Furthermore, honor the keymap when suggesting actions in the
88 help messages.
89 - Add branch view for choosing which branch to display in the main
90 view. Bound to 'H' by default.
91 - Tree view: show entry to parent directory ('..') when running from
92 subdirectory.
93 - Tree view: sort entries by name, date or author. Toggling is bound to
94 'i' by default, with 'I' controlling whether or not to sort in
95 ascending order.
96 - Make height of the lower view in a split view configurable by setting
97 the 'split-view-height' variable to a number or a percentage.
98 Defaults to 2/3 of the total view height.
99 - Allow multiple text attributes for color commands:
101 color cursor white blue underline bold
103 Bug fixes:
105 - Blame view: fix loading of blame data when opened from the tree view
106 and CWD is not the repo root. (Debian bug 540766)
107 - Tree view: fix searching.
109 tig-0.14.1
110 ----------
112 Improvements:
114 - Status view: improve "on branch" information inspired by the prompt
115 code in git's bash completion script.
116 - Colors for 256-capable terminals can be specified as colorN.
117 - Entering a number in the prompt will jump to that line number.
118 - Handle core.worktree by setting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.
119 - Make behavior of horizontal scrolling configurable by setting the
120 'horizontal-scroll' variable to a number or a percentage. Defaults to

141 emitted for transition.
142 - Remove parsing of deprecated option -S and subcommands log and diff.
143 - The "author" color replaces "main-author". Setting the latter will
144 now set the "author" color.
146 Improvements:
148 - Horizontal scrolling. Bound to Left/Right by default.
149 - Read tigrc(5) options from git configuration files using the syntax:
151 [tig] show-rev-graph = true
