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

75 tig-0.10.1
76 ----------
78 Improvements:
80 - Status view: detect renamed files and show them with 'R'.
81 - Status view: refresh the index to avoid "empty diffs".
82 - Diff view: make diff headers more verbose to include e.g. committer.

85 Bug fixes:
87 - Fix UTF8 handling for tag names and commit messages.
88 - Fix the check for git-config(1) in configure to handle the case when
89 git has been installed using a libexecdir which is not in the path.
90 - Fix replacing of SYSCONFDIR when installing from released tarballs.
92 tig-0.10
93 ---------
95 Incompatibilities:
97 - Deprecate most tig specific command line options to make tig more
98 compatible with gitk. The deprecated options are: -g, -l, -d, and -S.
99 Use of any of them will result in a warning being printed to stderr.
100 Instead of '-S', use the new 'status' subcommand.
101 - Make man page building depend on DocBook XSL version >= 1.72.0.
102 - Install man pages in $(prefix)/share/man.
103 - Implement the cherry pick action (bound to 'C') using new support for
104 running external commands. This obsoletes the TIG_CHEERY_PICK
105 environment variable
107 New features:
109 - Add support for binding keys to external commands. To bind '.' to
110 running git-commit(1), add the line: "bind generic . !git commit" to
111 your ~/.tigrc. Each command can have replacement string such as
112 %(commit), %(head), and %(blob), which are substituted before the
113 command is run.
114 - Add system-wide configuration file defaulting to $(prefix)/etc/tigrc.
115 - Add the environment variables TIGRC_USER and TIGRC_SYSTEM to change
116 user and system-wide configuration files, respectively.
118 Improvements:
120 - Main view: color the revision graph.
121 - Main view: show boundary commits; they are marked with '^' in the
122 revision graph.
123 - Tree view: add tree-parent action to jump to view of the parent tree.
124 Bound to ',' by default.
125 - Allow the default terminal colors to be overwritten. To use black
126 text on white, add the line "color default white black" to your
127 ~/.tigrc.
128 - Misc. documentation improvements.
130 Bug fixes:
132 - Use git-diff-index(1) and git-diff-files(1) instead of git-diff(1) to
133 avoid running external diff drivers.
134 - Use --no-color when calling git-log(1).
135 - Fix crash when opening mergetool for lines that are not unmerged.
137 tig-0.9.1
138 ---------

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