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 - Main view: also include the reference names when searching.
12 - Stage view: add stage-next action to jump to next diff chunk that can
13 be staged. By default bound to '@'.
14 - Configure: check for the ncurses header files.
15 - Add author-width option to costumize the width of the author column.
16 For example, put the following in ~/.tigrc: set author-width = 10
18 Bug fixes:
20 - Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section.
21 - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the
22 keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view.
23 - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code. Some shells (jsh)
24 installed as /bin/sh does not support it.
25 - Documentation: Rename gitlink macro to support AsciiDoc 8.2.3.
27 tig-0.11
28 --------
30 Incompatibilities:
32 - Remove parsing of deprecated options: -g, -l, -d.
33 - The first seen '--' will stop option parsing and is passed to git
34 instead of breaking out of tig's option parsing.
36 New features:
38 - Blame view; bound to 'B' by default, reachable from the command line
39 and the tree, status, and stage views.
40 - Blame/main view: allow display of date, author, and references to be
41 toggled on/off. Bound to 'D', 'A', and 'F' respectively.
42 - Add action to maximize the current view.
44 Improvements:
46 - Show the current branch in the status view.
47 - Show local/light-weight tags.
49 Bug fixes:
51 - Fix regressions for the pager mode.
52 - Fix refreshing of the index with working directory info.
54 tig-0.10.1
55 ----------
57 Improvements:
59 - Status view: detect renamed files and show them with 'R'.
60 - Status view: refresh the index to avoid "empty diffs".
61 - Diff view: make diff headers more verbose to include e.g. committer.
62 - Configure: check for the ncursesw library.
64 Bug fixes:
66 - Fix UTF8 handling for tag names and commit messages.
67 - Fix the check for git-config(1) in configure to handle the case when
68 git has been installed using a libexecdir which is not in the path.
69 - Fix replacing of SYSCONFDIR when installing from released tarballs.
71 tig-0.10
72 ---------
74 Incompatibilities:
76 - Deprecate most tig specific command line options to make tig more
77 compatible with gitk. The deprecated options are: -g, -l, -d, and -S.
78 Use of any of them will result in a warning being printed to stderr.
79 Instead of '-S', use the new 'status' subcommand.
80 - Make man page building depend on DocBook XSL version >= 1.72.0.
81 - Install man pages in $(prefix)/share/man.
82 - Implement the cherry pick action (bound to 'C') using new support for
83 running external commands. This obsoletes the TIG_CHEERY_PICK
84 environment variable
86 New features:
88 - Add support for binding keys to external commands. To bind '.' to
89 running git-commit(1), add the line: "bind generic . !git commit" to
90 your ~/.tigrc. Each command can have replacement string such as
91 %(commit), %(head), and %(blob), which are substituted before the
92 command is run.
93 - Add system-wide configuration file defaulting to $(prefix)/etc/tigrc.
94 - Add the environment variables TIGRC_USER and TIGRC_SYSTEM to change
95 user and system-wide configuration files, respectively.
97 Improvements:
99 - Main view: color the revision graph.
100 - Main view: show boundary commits; they are marked with '^' in the
101 revision graph.
102 - Tree view: add tree-parent action to jump to view of the parent tree.
103 Bound to ',' by default.
104 - Allow the default terminal colors to be overwritten. To use black
105 text on white, add the line "color default white black" to your
106 ~/.tigrc.
107 - Misc. documentation improvements.
109 Bug fixes:
111 - Use git-diff-index(1) and git-diff-files(1) instead of git-diff(1) to
112 avoid running external diff drivers.
113 - Use --no-color when calling git-log(1).
114 - Fix crash when opening mergetool for lines that are not unmerged.
116 tig-0.9.1
117 ---------
119 Incompatibilities:
121 - Make the clean rule to never remove generated documentation files.

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

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