view: make the date width adaptive

[tig.git] / NEWS.adoc

Release notes
=============

master
------

Note to packagers:

 - Rename README, INSTALL, and NEWS to end in '.adoc'.
 - BUGS file has been merged into README.
 - Rename (again) doc/ AsciiDoc files to end in '.adoc'.
 - Default keybindings have been moved to a system-level tigrc file, which is
   installed to ${sysconfdir} by default. A version of the tigrc file is
   included inside the binary as a fall-back. Pass `NO_BUILTIN_TIGRC=y` to not
   include the tigrc and reduce the size of the binary.
 - The example `contrib/tigrc` file (made obsolete by `tigrc`) has been removed.
 - Source files was moved to `src` and `include`.
 - Build output is less verbose by default; use `make V=1` for full output.

Incompatibilities:

 - Only use 'diff-options' for the diff view and introduce '%(cmdlineargs)' to
   hold non-file and non-revision flags passed on the command line. Affects all
   user-defined commands that expect '%(diffargs)' to hold both 'diff-options'
   arguments and those passed on the command line. (GH #228)
 - Remove built-in keybinding for `git gc`. Add the following line to `~/.tigrc`
   to restore it: `bind generic G ?git gc`.
 - To support view specific colors, '.' can no longer be used interchangeably
   with '-' and '_' in settings names and in particular color names.
 - Replace 'stage-next' action with prompt command using a predefined search
   (see below) and add binding (`@` by default) to also work in the diff view.

Improvements:

 - Add mouse support: scroll view, click line to move cursor, double click line
   (or click again) to "Enter" cursor line, e.g. open commit diff. Disabled by
   default, since it makes text selection less intuitive. If you enable this
   remember to hold down Shift (or Option on Mac) when selecting text.
 - Rewrite and improve the rendering of the commit graph. (GH #144, GH #46)
 - Add a new "auto" value for the 'vertical-split' option to let Tig choose the
   split orientation (this is the new default behavior).
 - Add toggle-vertical-split option to change the vertical split value.
 - Add 'stage-split-chunk' action for splitting chunks in the stage view.
   Bound to '\' by default. (GH #107)
 - Add 'back' action bound to '<' by default, which will return the blame view
   to the previous revision and line after moving e.g. to the parent. (GH #124)
 - User-defined commands no longer needs to always be prefixed with '!'.
 - Add auto-configuration for Cygwin (OS name: CYGWIN_NT-6.1). (GH #92)
 - Add toggling for display files of untracked directories.
 - Add main view pager mode that reads git-log's '--pretty=raw' data
   from stdin, e.g. `git reflog --pretty=raw | tig --pretty=raw`.
 - Document the Git commands supported by the pager mode.  (GH #1)
 - Optionally specify custom prompt for `%(prompt)` in shell commands, e.g.
   `bind main B ?git checkout -b "%(prompt Enter new branch name: )"`.
 - Allow Tig to be started with no default keybindings or built-in user-defined
   commands by running: `TIGRC_SYSTEM=~/.tigrc.safe tig`. (GH #235)
 - Open editor at line number for combined diffs e.g. diffs of unmerged files.
 - Copy `-S`, `-G` and `--grep=` pattern to search buffer so 'find-next' and
   'find-prev' work as expected.
 - Support view specific colors: `color stage.diff-add yellow default`.
 - Add grep view as a front-end to git-grep(1): `tig grep -p strchr`. From
   within Tig, the key for switching or grepping is bound to 'G' by default.
 - Warn about conflicting keybindings using Ctrl, e.g. `^f` and `^F`. (GH #218)
 - Extend key bindings for prompt commands (ie. `bind <keymap> <key> :<prompt>`)
   to support predefined searches, eg.: `bind stage 2 :?^@@`.
 - Add :toggle prompt command as a way to manipulate options using keybindings.
   For example: `bind diff D diff-options --patience --notes`. (GH #69)
 - Adjust author width automatically. (GH #49)
 - Make reference label formatting configurable, for example:
   `set reference-format = (branch) <tags> remote`. (GH #201)
 - Rename 'branch' view to 'refs' view and show tags. (GH #134)

Bug fixes:

 - Fix stash diff display when reloading the stash view after a deleting.
 - Set the commit reference when opening the blame view from the blob view.
 - Correctly identify and highlight the remote branch tracked by HEAD.
 - Pass --no-color after user defined arguments to ensure that colors do not
   break the output parsing. (GH #191)
 - Close stdin when pager mode is not supported.
 - Show newly created branches in the main view. (GH #196)
 - File with 0 changes breaks diffstat highlighting (GH #215)
 - Update %(branch) variable in the main view. (GH #223)
 - Disable graph rendering when either of `--reverse`, `-S`, `-G`, and `--grep`
   are passed to the main view. (GH #127)
 - Only refresh views that support it.
 - Fix author and date annotation of renamed entries in the tree view.
 - Fix use of unsafe methods in the signal handler. (GH #245)
 - Fix rendering in non-UTF8 terminals.
 - Fix stage-update-line by rewriting the diff chunk containing the line instead
   of using `--unidiff-zero` and a diff context of zero. (GH #130)
 - Fix status-update to work for untracked directories. (GH #236)
 - Don't pass log parameters given on the command line to the diff view.

 - Fix manual keybinding for stage-single-line. (GH #108)
 - Values set for author-width and filename-width will result in widths
   one character bigger than previously.

Improvements:

 - Typing a text in the prompt will be interpreted as a Tig command.

   an external pager. Entering a single key will execute the
   corresponding key binding.
 - Basic support for wrapping long line in pager, diff, and stage views.

-------

The master repository is git://github.com/jonas/tig.git, and the old
master repository (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/tig.git) will be retired.

   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:

   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.

   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.

   '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.
 - Blame view: use line number information when loading blame for
   specific commit.

 - Add stage view for showing changes in the working tree and add
   support for staging individual diff chunks for commit.

Improvements:

 - Status view: allow all files in a section to be staged for commit.
 - Status view: Add support for opening files in an editor. Bound to 'e'
   by default.
 - Tree view: use a stack for remembering the lines for parent tree.
