[ANNOUNCE] tig-1.2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

It's been almost a year since the last release of tig, so here is a much
needed update. It brings a lot of cool new features, such as the ability
to jump directly from diff to the corresponding line in the changed
file, a stash view, improvements to the log view, plus a bunch of bug
fixes.

On behalf of everyone who contributed to this release, please enjoy.

What is tig?
------------
Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for
commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various git
commands.

Release notes

 - Tig now has its own tag on Stack Overflow, where users are invited to
   ask questions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/tig

Improvements:

 - Make tig prompt commands bindable to keys. For example:
   `bind diff F :set diff-options = --full-diff`. (GH #69, #116)
 - Add a diff-options setting for specifying default diff options.
   Example: `set diff-options = --patience`. (GH #116)
 - Options in diff-options and blame-options matching tig browsing state
   variables are replaced.
 - Show diff stats as wide as the terminal. (GH #109)
 - Show line numbers in the branch view. (GH #135)
 - Add toggles for showing author email or email user names. (GH #115)
 - Open editor at the selected line by prefixing the file argument with
   `+<lineno>`. Tested in vi, vim, emacs, nano, gedit, geany. Disable
   by adding `set editor-line-number = no` to ~/.tigrc. (GH #118, #119)
 - Add toggle-files to control whether to show full commit diff or only
   the diff concerning the currently selected file, e.g. for blame.
 - Optionally highlight exceeding characters in long commit titles.
   The default title max width is 50 characters. Customize using:
   `set title-overflow = 50` (GH #125)
 - Add +ESC key bindings. Example: `bind generic ^[v move-page-up` (GH #120)
 - Create temporary files in TMPDIR, TEMP, or TMP before defaulting to /tmp.
 - Reenable `tig log` as a subcommand. (GH #146)
 - Enable tilde expansion in ~/.tigrc "source" commands. (GH #168)
 - Introduce the stash view, bound to the 'y' keybinding. (GH #169, #174)

Bug fixes:

 - Fix blame and status to work in directories starting with a dot. (GH #172)
 - Reload current branch name when reloading the status view. (GH #93)
 - Fix compile errors on old Solaris. (GH #97)
 - Reload HEAD info when reloading the stage view. (GH #104, #93)
 - Fix disappearing branch labels after external commands. (GH #148)
 - Fix diff view display for staged/unstaged changes when using 'd'.
 - Fix display of status messages when toggling view options. (GH #111)
 - Fix illegal memory access. (GH #98)
 - Fix display of all branches label in repos with short branch names.
 - Fix rendering glitch for branch names.
 - Do not apply diff styling to untracked files in the stage view. (GH #153)
 - Fix tree indentation for entries containing combining characters. (GH #170)
 - Ignore unrepresentable characters when transliterating text for rendering.
 - Transliterate text to output encoding before trimming it to avoid
   misalignment. (GH #86)
 - Introduce a more natural context-sensitive log display. (GH #155)
