[ANNOUNCE] tig-2.3.0

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

 



Hello,

Really excited to release version 2.3.0 of Tig which brings several
improvements to the rendering performance, new features like search/prompt
history persistence, and important fixes to the graph rendering and emoji
display. I'd like thank all contributors and Roland Walker and Sven Wegener in
particular for all the great patches.

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.

-------------
Incompatibilities:

 - The `width` setting on the `status`, `text` and `commit-title` columns was
   never applied and has been removed. (GH #617)

Improvements:

 - Enable binding to more symbolic keys and keys with control modifier:
   `F13`-`F19`, `ShiftLeft`, `ShiftRight`, `ShiftDel`, `ShiftHome`, `ShiftEnd`,
   `ShiftTab`, `Ctrl-C`, `Ctrl-V`, `Ctrl-S`, and `Ctrl-@`. (GH #314, #619, #642)

 - Preload last search from persistent history. (GH #630)
 - Add `view-close-no-quit` action, unbound by default. (GH #607)
 - Add `mouse-wheel-cursor` option (off by default) when set to true causes
   wheel actions to prefer moving the cursor instead of scrolling. (GH #608)

 - Make `diff-highlight` colors configurable. (GH #625, #633)
 - Let Ctrl-C exit Y/N dialog, menu prompts and the file finder. (GH #632, #648)
 - Hide cursor unless at textual prompt. (GH #643)
 - Expand tilde ('~') in `:script` paths. (GH #674)
 - Show single-line output of external command in status bar. (GH #200, #557,
   #678)
 - Disable the graph when `--no-merges` is passed. (GH #687)
 - Print backtraces on segfault in debug mode.
 - Ignore script lines starting with `#` (comment). (GH #705)
 - Complete `repo:*` variables when readline is enabled. (GH #702)
 - Incorporate XTerm's `wcwidth.c` to find Unicode widths. (GH #691)

Bug fixes:

 - Fix graph display issues. (GH #419, #638)
 - Fix and improve rendering of Unicode characters. (GH #330, #621, #644, #682)
 - Handle hyphenated directory names when listing content. (GH #602)
 - Do not jump to next match when cancelling the search prompt. (GH #627)
 - Fix clearing of the status line after `Ctrl-C`. (GH #623, #649)
 - Fix handling of width on line-number and trimmed width of 1. (GH #617)
 - Set cursor position when not updating prompt contents. (GH #647)
 - Erase status line at exit time for users without altscreen-capable terminals.
   (GH #589)
 - Fix unexpected keys when restoring from suspend (`Ctrl-Z`). (GH #232)
 - contrib/vim.tigrc: Also bind G in the main as a workaround for limitations of
   the `none` action. (GH #594, #599)
 - Only override `blame-options` when commands are given and fix parsing of
   `-C`. (GH #597)
 - Fix diff name discovery to better handle prefixes.
 - Interpret button5 as wheel-down. (GH #321, #606)
 - Fix `back` / `parent` in tree view. (GH #641)
 - Fix memory corruption in `concat_argv` and file finder. (GH #634, #655)
 - Fix reading from stdin for `tig show`.
 - Document problem of outdated system-wide `tigrc` files in Homebrew. (GH #598)
 - Repaint the display when toggling `line-graphics`. (GH #527)
