## [0.21] - 2019-10-28

### Changed
- Faster handling of large patches (#44)

### Fixed
- Build reproducibility repairs (Thanks reproducible-builds.org team!)
- Python can now be run with optimizations (`python -O`)
- `stg log` now prints trailing newline
- Improved command line option parsing for `stg log`


## [0.20] - 2019-10-04

### Added
- `stg patches -d` can now output colored diffs.
- `stg publish --overwrite` allows branch to be overwritten instead of
  creating new commits.
- `stg log --clear` deletes the stack's log history. Use with caution.
- Fish shell completions for stg.
- Zsh completions for stg.
- `stg mail --domain` option overrides the host's domain in the message
  ID.

### Changed
- Branch protection metadata now captured in config instead of
  .git/patches/<branch>protect file. This updates stgit's metadata
  format from v2 to v3.
- `stg diff` no longer shows binary diffs by default. Use `-O--binary`
  or add `--binary` to stgit.diff-opts in config.
- Diagnostic output is now routed to stderr instead of stdout.
  Diagnostic output is also now sent to stderr unconditionally, i.e. no
  more isatty() test (#35).

  `pick`, `pull`, `rebase`, and `fold`.

### Fixed
- `stg show` detects conflicting --applied and --unapplied options.
- `stg show --stat` now shows commit headers.
- `stg patches --diff` now shows proper diff instead of `b'...'` repr of
  diff.

  as last parsing option. Affects, e.g., `stg refresh --authdate`.

  site-packages directory.
- Ensure stdout and stderr are flushed. Rarely affected `stg diff`.
- `stg repair` will now fail if extra command line arguments are
  provided.
- Bash completions are now generated in a reproducible manner.
- `stg edit --diff` on an empty patch no longer crashes.
- `stg pick` no longer fails when picked commit has empty message (#39).
- `stg rebase` no longer crashes when there are conflicts (#34).

  regular commit object.

  other branch.

    command and option.

- Many bug-fixes.


## [0.15] 2009-10-24

### Removed
- The commands "stg add", "stg rm", "stg cp", and "stg resolved" were
  removed, since there are corresponding Git equivalents.

### Added
- New core infrastructure for repository operations, including:
  - Infinite undo/redo operations and corresponding commands.
  - Automatic rollback of changes following a failed operation (using
    transactions)---this ensures that StGit commands either succeed or
    do nothing. Previously, every commands had its own ad hoc
    implementation of this.
- Some commands were added, including
  - `stg squash`, for combining two or more patches into one.
  - `stg publish`, for maintaining merge-friendly branches (which are
    not rebased).
  - `stg prev/next` for printing the name of the previous or next patch
    in the series.
- The `stg import` and `stg fold` commands support the `-p N` option for
  stripping leading slashes from diff paths.
- The `stg import` and `stg fold` commands support the `--reject` option
  for leaving rejected hunks in corresponding `*.rej` files.
- New patch identification syntax: `<branch>:<patch>` (see documentation
  for the "stg id" command).
- Autosigning of imported patches when `sign.autosign` configuration
  option is set.
- A powerful Emacs mode for StGit was added to the "contrib" directory.
  It displays the patch stack in an Emacs buffer, and can handle all
  common StGit tasks.
- Man pages and an improved tutorial.

### Changed
- Improved bash tab-completion, automatically generated from the stg
  command definitions.
