 =============
 
 tig master
+---------
+
+Incompatibilities:
+
+ - Setting the cursor color no longer automatically sets the text to
+   bold. The old 'lazy' behavior was a bug.
+
+Improvements:
+
+ - Show the active (instead of the default) keybindings in the help
+   view. Furthermore, honor the keymap when suggesting actions in the
+   help messages.
+ - Add branch view for choosing which branch to display in the main
+   view. Bound to 'H' by default.
+ - Tree view: sort entries by name, date or author. Toggling is bound to
+   'i' by default, with 'I' controlling whether or not to sort in
+   ascending order.
+ - Make height of the lower view in a split view configurable by setting
+   the 'split-view-height' variable to a number or a percentage.
+   Defaults to 2/3 of the total view height.
+ - Allow multiple text attributes for color commands:
+
+       color cursor white blue underline bold
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - Tree view: fix searching.
+
+tig-0.14.1
 ----------

+
+ - Status view: improve "on branch" information inspired by the prompt
+   code in git's bash completion script.

+ - Entering a number in the prompt will jump to that line number.
+ - Handle core.worktree by setting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.
+ - Make behavior of horizontal scrolling configurable by setting the
+   'horizontal-scroll' variable to a number or a percentage. Defaults to
+   scrolling 50% of the view width.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+ - Status view: show error when failing to open a file.
+ - Status view: report failures to update a file.

+tig-0.14
+--------
+
 Incompatibilities:
 
  - The screen-resize action has been deprecated. It had no real use for
    users and was never meant to be exposed.
  - The "tree-parent" action was renamed to "parent". Warnings will be
    emitted for transition.
+ - Remove parsing of deprecated option -S and subcommands log and diff.
+ - The "author" color replaces "main-author". Setting the latter will
+   now set the "author" color.
 
 Improvements:
 
+ - Horizontal scrolling. Bound to Left/Right by default.
+ - Read tigrc(5) options from git configuration files using the syntax:
+
+       [tig] show-rev-graph = true
+       [tig "color"] cursor = yellow red bold 
+       [tig "bind"] generic = P parent
+
  - Tree view: avoid flickering when updating.
  - Tree view: annotate entries with commit information.
  - Tree & blob view: open any blob in an editor.
  - Stage & main view: restore view position when reloading.
  - Blame view: load blame for parent commit. For merge commits the parent
    is queried. Bound to ',' by default via the existing "parent" action.
+ - Abbreviate author names to initials when the width of the author column
+   is below 6 characters.
 
 Bug fixes:
 
  - Tree view: fix memory corruption bug when updating.
+ - Tree view: improve handling of empty trees.
+ - Status view: fix reverting of unmerged files.
  - Fix regression for non-UTF-8 locales corrupting the view data.
+ - Fix regression parsing multiple spaces in ~/.tigrc.
