Release notes
=============
-tig master
+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.

+ contents in the status view. On by default.

+ 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.
