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.
16 Bug fixes:
18 - Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section.
19 - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the
20 keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view.
21 - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code. Some shells (jsh)
22 installed as /bin/sh does not support it.
23 - Documentation: Rename gitlink macro to support AsciiDoc 8.2.3.
25 tig-0.11
26 --------
28 Incompatibilities:
30 - Remove parsing of deprecated options: -g, -l, -d.
31 - The first seen '--' will stop option parsing and is passed to git
32 instead of breaking out of tig's option parsing.
34 New features:
36 - Blame view; bound to 'B' by default, reachable from the command line
37 and the tree, status, and stage views.
38 - Blame/main view: allow display of date, author, and references to be
39 toggled on/off. Bound to 'D', 'A', and 'F' respectively.
40 - Add action to maximize the current view.
42 Improvements:
44 - Show the current branch in the status view.
45 - Show local/light-weight tags.
47 Bug fixes:
49 - Fix regressions for the pager mode.
50 - Fix refreshing of the index with working directory info.
52 tig-0.10.1
53 ----------
55 Improvements:
57 - Status view: detect renamed files and show them with 'R'.
58 - Status view: refresh the index to avoid "empty diffs".
59 - Diff view: make diff headers more verbose to include e.g. committer.
60 - Configure: check for the ncursesw library.
62 Bug fixes:
64 - Fix UTF8 handling for tag names and commit messages.
65 - Fix the check for git-config(1) in configure to handle the case when
66 git has been installed using a libexecdir which is not in the path.
67 - Fix replacing of SYSCONFDIR when installing from released tarballs.
69 tig-0.10
70 ---------
72 Incompatibilities:
74 - Deprecate most tig specific command line options to make tig more
75 compatible with gitk. The deprecated options are: -g, -l, -d, and -S.
76 Use of any of them will result in a warning being printed to stderr.
77 Instead of '-S', use the new 'status' subcommand.
78 - Make man page building depend on DocBook XSL version >= 1.72.0.
79 - Install man pages in $(prefix)/share/man.
80 - Implement the cherry pick action (bound to 'C') using new support for
81 running external commands. This obsoletes the TIG_CHEERY_PICK
82 environment variable
84 New features:
86 - Add support for binding keys to external commands. To bind '.' to
87 running git-commit(1), add the line: "bind generic . !git commit" to
88 your ~/.tigrc. Each command can have replacement string such as
89 %(commit), %(head), and %(blob), which are substituted before the
90 command is run.
91 - Add system-wide configuration file defaulting to $(prefix)/etc/tigrc.
92 - Add the environment variables TIGRC_USER and TIGRC_SYSTEM to change
93 user and system-wide configuration files, respectively.
95 Improvements:
97 - Main view: color the revision graph.
98 - Main view: show boundary commits; they are marked with '^' in the
99 revision graph.
100 - Tree view: add tree-parent action to jump to view of the parent tree.
101 Bound to ',' by default.
102 - Allow the default terminal colors to be overwritten. To use black
103 text on white, add the line "color default white black" to your
104 ~/.tigrc.
105 - Misc. documentation improvements.
107 Bug fixes:
109 - Use git-diff-index(1) and git-diff-files(1) instead of git-diff(1) to
110 avoid running external diff drivers.
111 - Use --no-color when calling git-log(1).
112 - Fix crash when opening mergetool for lines that are not unmerged.
114 tig-0.9.1
115 ---------
