I just pulled the dev branch of gitk into the master branch, so the master branch now has the new features and improvements that I have been working on, namely: * The find and highlight functions have been combined into a single function, and there is now a button for finding backwards as well as a find forwards button. Thus you can now search for commits that modify certain files or directories, or commits that add/remove a given string, as well as searching for commits by commit message, author, committer or headline. * Combining the find and highlight functions freed up space that is now used for a progress bar and a status window. * There is now a font chooser accessible from the edit/preferences window. * Gitk now uses a new graph layout algorithm, which means it doesn't have to generate the whole layout from top to bottom at startup time, making startup faster. Gitk also uses a new style for drawing short diagonal line segments that join an existing vertical line, which is visually clearer when the segment crosses another line. * Gitk caches the topology information used for the previous/next tag and branch information, making startup faster. Tk 8.5 is now in beta, meaning that some distros now have it packaged. Gitk looks much nicer in Tk8.5 since it supports anti-aliased fonts, so I strongly suggest that people install and use Tk8.5 if possible.
