7 Bug fixes:
9 - Expand %(directory) to . for the root directory. (GH-3)
11 tig-0.17
12 --------
14 Improvements:
16 - Start rewrite of the revision graph renderer. Three modes are
17 supported UTF-8, ncurses line graphics, and ASCII. Also, enable
18 revision graph rendering by default.
20 Bug fixes:
22 - Fix ncurses 5.8 issue by passing non-zero column size to newwin().
23 - Fix opening of diffs when browsing branches.
25 tig-0.16.2
26 ----------
28 Bug fixes:
30 - Fix regression causing empty tree view.
31 - Fix set_tabsize() compile error for older versions of ncurses.
33 tig-0.16.1
34 ----------
36 Improvements:
38 - Add scroll-first-col action to jump to the first column. Bound to '|'
39 by default.
40 - Add 'status-untracked-dirs' option to ignore unknown directories
41 contents in the status view. On by default.

47 command line.
48 - Fix segfault when starting tig in pager mode.
50 tig-0.16
51 --------
53 Incompatibilities:
55 - Encode everything internally as UTF-8. This can affect performance,
56 but should in general improve handling of character lengths etc.
57 Also, to properly handle UTF-8 environments use ncurses with wide
58 character support.
59 - The use of TIG_{MAIN,DIFF,LOG,TREE,BLOB}_CMD environment variables
60 has been deprecated. To allow configuration of the diff view,
61 TIG_DIFF_OPTS can be used.
63 Improvements:
65 - Plug several memory leaks.
66 - Command line arguments are split into diff, revision, and file
67 arguments and made available as %(diffargs), %(revargs), and
68 %(fileargs). Diff view will limit diffs using %(fileargs).
69 - Status view: update the file variable when a line is selected so
70 %(file) works as expected.
71 - Branch view: add %(branch) symbol providing access to the selected
72 branch.
73 - Branch view: add entry to browse all branches (uses git-log's --all
74 flag).
75 - Abbreviation of author names can now be configured and toggled.
76 - Mark detached heads with [HEAD].
77 - Add support for displaying dates in local time.
79 Bug fixes:
81 - Status view: fix usage from sub directories, which was broken by the
82 changes made to support blame view from sub directories.
83 - Fix text expansion to not truncate long lines
84 - Fix parsing of boolean show-date values.
85 - Fix relative date.
86 - Fix unbind to behave as if the keybinding was never defined.
87 - Fix unbind to also cover built-in run requests.
88 - Fix parsing of unknown keymap names.
89 - Blame view: fix parent blame to detect renames. It uses "previous"
90 line info from the blame porcelain output added in git version 1.6.3.
92 tig-0.15
93 --------
95 Incompatibilities:
97 - Setting the cursor color no longer automatically sets the text to
98 bold. The old 'lazy' behavior was a bug.
99 - Remove check for git-repo-config, which was officially deprecated in
100 git version 1.5.4. The configure script no longer depends on git
101 being installed.
103 Improvements:
105 - Provide the manual as a man page named tigmanual(7).
106 - Add ability to toggle between showing shorter dates (without time
107 info) and relative dates. Use 'D' to toggle between date formats.
108 - Show the active (instead of the default) keybindings in the help
109 view. Furthermore, honor the keymap when suggesting actions in the
110 help messages.
111 - Add branch view for choosing which branch to display in the main
112 view. Bound to 'H' by default.
113 - Tree view: show entry to parent directory ('..') when running from
114 subdirectory.
115 - Tree view: sort entries by name, date or author. Toggling is bound to
116 'i' by default, with 'I' controlling whether or not to sort in
117 ascending order.
118 - Make height of the lower view in a split view configurable by setting
119 the 'split-view-height' variable to a number or a percentage.
120 Defaults to 2/3 of the total view height.
121 - Allow multiple text attributes for color commands:
123 color cursor white blue underline bold
125 Bug fixes:
127 - Blame view: fix loading of blame data when opened from the tree view
128 and CWD is not the repo root. (Debian bug 540766)
129 - Tree view: fix searching.
131 tig-0.14.1
132 ----------
134 Improvements:
136 - Status view: improve "on branch" information inspired by the prompt
137 code in git's bash completion script.
138 - Colors for 256-capable terminals can be specified as colorN.
139 - Entering a number in the prompt will jump to that line number.
140 - Handle core.worktree by setting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.
141 - Make behavior of horizontal scrolling configurable by setting the

163 emitted for transition.
164 - Remove parsing of deprecated option -S and subcommands log and diff.
165 - The "author" color replaces "main-author". Setting the latter will
166 now set the "author" color.
168 Improvements:
170 - Horizontal scrolling. Bound to Left/Right by default.
171 - Read tigrc(5) options from git configuration files using the syntax:
173 [tig] show-rev-graph = true

265 - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the
