Release notes ============= master ------ Incompatibilities: - Remove support for the deprecated TIG_{MAIN,DIFF,LOG,TREE,BLOB}_CMD environment variables. Improvements: - (GH-6) Make blame configurable via extra options passed from the command line and blame-options setting from ~/.tigrc. For example: set blame-options = -C -C -C Bug fixes: - Expand %(directory) to . for the root directory. (GH-3) - Accept 'utf-8' for the line-graphics option as indicated in the docs. tig-0.17 -------- Improvements: - Start rewrite of the revision graph renderer. Three modes are supported UTF-8, ncurses line graphics, and ASCII. Also, enable revision graph rendering by default. Bug fixes: - Fix ncurses 5.8 issue by passing non-zero column size to newwin(). - Fix opening of diffs when browsing branches. tig-0.16.2 ---------- Bug fixes: - Fix regression causing empty tree view. - Fix set_tabsize() compile error for older versions of ncurses. tig-0.16.1 ---------- Improvements: - Add scroll-first-col action to jump to the first column. Bound to '|' by default. - Add 'status-untracked-dirs' option to ignore unknown directories contents in the status view. On by default. Bug fixes: - Fix 'tig show ' to show the provided commit. - Fix problem with empty diff views when file specs were passed on the command line. - Fix segfault when starting tig in pager mode. tig-0.16 -------- Incompatibilities: - Encode everything internally as UTF-8. This can affect performance, but should in general improve handling of character lengths etc. Also, to properly handle UTF-8 environments use ncurses with wide character support. - The use of TIG_{MAIN,DIFF,LOG,TREE,BLOB}_CMD environment variables has been deprecated. To allow configuration of the diff view, TIG_DIFF_OPTS can be used. Improvements: - Plug several memory leaks. - Command line arguments are split into diff, revision, and file arguments and made available as %(diffargs), %(revargs), and %(fileargs). Diff view will limit diffs using %(fileargs). - Status view: update the file variable when a line is selected so %(file) works as expected. - Branch view: add %(branch) symbol providing access to the selected branch. - Branch view: add entry to browse all branches (uses git-log's --all flag). - Abbreviation of author names can now be configured and toggled. - Mark detached heads with [HEAD]. - Add support for displaying dates in local time. Bug fixes: - Status view: fix usage from sub directories, which was broken by the changes made to support blame view from sub directories. - Fix text expansion to not truncate long lines - Fix parsing of boolean show-date values. - Fix relative date. - Fix unbind to behave as if the keybinding was never defined. - Fix unbind to also cover built-in run requests. - Fix parsing of unknown keymap names. - Blame view: fix parent blame to detect renames. It uses "previous" line info from the blame porcelain output added in git version 1.6.3. tig-0.15 -------- Incompatibilities: - Setting the cursor color no longer automatically sets the text to bold. The old 'lazy' behavior was a bug. - Remove check for git-repo-config, which was officially deprecated in git version 1.5.4. The configure script no longer depends on git being installed. Improvements: - Provide the manual as a man page named tigmanual(7). - Add ability to toggle between showing shorter dates (without time info) and relative dates. Use 'D' to toggle between date formats. - 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: show entry to parent directory ('..') when running from subdirectory. - 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: - Blame view: fix loading of blame data when opened from the tree view and CWD is not the repo root. (Debian bug 540766) - Tree view: fix searching. tig-0.14.1 ---------- Improvements: - Status view: improve "on branch" information inspired by the prompt code in git's bash completion script. - Colors for 256-capable terminals can be specified as colorN. - 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. - Blame view: fix problem with uninitialized variable. - Blame view: use line number information when loading blame for specific commit. - Fix handling of quoted strings in the config file. - Fix horizontal scrolling glitches. 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.

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. tig-0.13 -------- Incompatibilities: - Commands from the environment (e.g. TIG_MAIN_CMD) will no longer have access to shell features, such as subshells and variable expansion. The easiest way to upgrade your configuration is to put such commands in a script file or as a git alias. 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. - Run requests: new identifiers %(directory), %(file), and %(ref) - Improve responsiveness and view loading speed by using select(2). Bug fixes: - Separate blame revision and file argument by "--" to avoid problems. - Main view: fix redrawing of the last commit wrt. the revision graph. - Fix waiting for input after executing a run request in pager mode. - Status & stage view: refuse to open directories and deleted files. - Tree view: show error when requesting blame for all non-file entries. - Do not draw loading views, which are not displayed. - Fix launching of mergetool from a subdirectory. tig-0.12.1 ---------- Improvements: - Status view: revert uncommitted diff chunks and unstaged files with changes. Bound to '!' by default. - Main view: use --topo-order also when rev-list arguments are given on the command line. - Log view: support for refreshing. Bug fixes: - Status view: use ls-files' --exclude-standard so user specific ignore rules are effective. The option was added in git version 1.5.4. - Stage view: fix assertion failure triggered when updating while status view is not displayed. - Help view: avoid confusion by showing "(no key)" instead of "'?'" for unbound requests. - Reload repository references when refreshing the main (and log) view. - Do not maximize views when refreshing. tig-0.12 -------- Improvements: - F5 also refreshes the current view. - Allow line graphics to be disabled with new line-graphics option. - Main view: also include the reference names when searching. - Main view: support for refreshing. - Main view: disable boundary commits by default. Use --boundary when they should be shown. (Debian bug 498628) - Stage view: add stage-next action to jump to next diff chunk that can be staged. By default bound to '@'. - Configure: check for the ncurses header files. - Add author-width option to customize the width of the author column. For example, put the following in ~/.tigrc: set author-width = 10 Bug fixes: - Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section. - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view. - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code. Some shells (jsh) installed as /bin/sh does not support it. - Do not show incomplete boundary commits when --no-walk is used. - Documentation: Rename gitlink macro to support AsciiDoc 8.2.3. - Ignore pipe reads with errno "Success" reported after a signals, for example when refreshing doing background loading. tig-0.11 -------- Incompatibilities: - Remove parsing of deprecated options: -g, -l, -d. - The first seen '--' will stop option parsing and is passed to git instead of breaking out of tig's option parsing. New features: - Blame view; bound to 'B' by default, reachable from the command line and the tree, status, and stage views. - Blame/main view: allow display of date, author, and references to be toggled on/off. Bound to 'D', 'A', and 'F' respectively. - Add action to maximize the current view. Improvements: - Show the current branch in the status view. - Show local/light-weight tags. Bug fixes: - Fix regressions for the pager mode. - Fix refreshing of the index with working directory info. tig-0.10.1 ---------- Improvements: - Status view: detect renamed files and show them with 'R'. - Status view: refresh the index to avoid "empty diffs". - Diff view: make diff headers more verbose to include e.g. committer. - Configure: check for the ncursesw library. Bug fixes: - Fix UTF-8 handling for tag names and commit messages. - Fix the check for git-config(1) in configure to handle the case when git has been installed using a libexecdir which is not in the path. - Fix replacing of SYSCONFDIR when installing from released tarballs. tig-0.10 --------- Incompatibilities: - Deprecate most tig specific command line options to make tig more compatible with gitk. The deprecated options are: -g, -l, -d, and -S. Use of any of them will result in a warning being printed to stderr. Instead of '-S', use the new 'status' subcommand. - Make man page building depend on DocBook XSL version >= 1.72.0. - Install man pages in $(prefix)/share/man. - Implement the cherry pick action (bound to 'C') using new support for running external commands. This obsoletes the TIG_CHEERY_PICK environment variable New features: - Add support for binding keys to external commands. To bind '.' to running git-commit(1), add the line: "bind generic . !git commit" to your ~/.tigrc. Each command can have replacement string such as %(commit), %(head), and %(blob), which are substituted before the command is run. - Add system-wide configuration file defaulting to $(prefix)/etc/tigrc. - Add the environment variables TIGRC_USER and TIGRC_SYSTEM to change user and system-wide configuration files, respectively.
