+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.

+ 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 "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.

+ is below 6 characters.

+ in a script file.
+
+Improvements:
+
+ - Display repository references in the sorted order: tags, heads,
+ tracked remotes, remotes.
+ - Add bash completion for blame.
+ - Tree view: edit files of the current branch.
