Changelog:
tig-0.17
--------
Improvements:
- Start rewrite of the revision graph renderer. Three modes are
supported UTF-8, ncurses line graphics, and ASCII. Also, enable
revision graph rendering by default.
Bug fixes:
- Fix ncurses 2.8 issue by passing non-zero column size to newwin(1).
- Fix opening of diffs when browsing branches.
tig-0.16.2
----------
Bug fixes:
- Fix regression causing empty tree view.
- Fix set_tabsize() compile error for older versions of ncurses.
tig-0.16.1
----------
Improvements:
- Add scroll-first-col action to jump to the first column. Bound to '|'
by default.
- Add 'status-untracked-dirs' option to ignore unknown directories
contents in the status view. On by default.
Bug fixes:
- Fix 'tig show <commit>' to show the provided commit.
- Fix problem with empty diff views when file specs were passed on the
command line.
- Fix segfault when starting tig in pager mode.
tig-0.16
--------
Incompatibilities:
- Encode everything internally as UTF-8. This can affect performance,
but should in general improve handling of character lengths etc.
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:
- Plug several memory leaks.
- Command line arguments are split into diff, revision, and file
arguments and made available as %(diffargs), %(revargs), and
%(fileargs). Diff view will limit diffs using %(fileargs).
- Status view: update the file variable when a line is selected so
%(file) works as expected.
- Branch view: add %(branch) symbol providing access to the selected
branch.
- Branch view: add entry to browse all branches (uses git-log's --all
flag).
- Abbreviation of author names can now be configured and toggled.
- Mark detached heads with [HEAD].
- Add support for displaying dates in local time.
Bug fixes:
- Status view: fix usage from sub directories, which was broken by the
changes made to support blame view from sub directories.
- Fix text expansion to not truncate long lines
- Fix parsing of boolean show-date values.
- Fix relative date.
- Fix unbind to behave as if the keybinding was never defined.
- Fix unbind to also cover built-in run requests.
- Fix parsing of unknown keymap names.
- Blame view: fix parent blame to detect renames. It uses "previous"
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.
- Remove check for git-repo-config, which was officially deprecated in
git version 1.5.4. The configure script no longer depends on git
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.
- Show the active (instead of the default) keybindings in the help
view. Furthermore, honor the keymap when suggesting actions in the
help messages.
- Add branch view for choosing which branch to display in the main
view. Bound to 'H' by default.
- Tree view: show entry to parent directory ('..') when running from
subdirectory.
- Tree view: sort entries by name, date or author. Toggling is bound to
'i' by default, with 'I' controlling whether or not to sort in
ascending order.
- Make height of the lower view in a split view configurable by setting
the 'split-view-height' variable to a number or a percentage.
Defaults to 2/3 of the total view height.
- Allow multiple text attributes for color commands:
color cursor white blue underline bold
Bug fixes:
- Blame view: fix loading of blame data when opened from the tree view
and CWD is not the repo root. (Debian bug 540766)
- Tree view: fix searching.
tig-0.14.1
----------
Improvements:
- Status view: improve "on branch" information inspired by the prompt
code in git's bash completion script.
- Colors for 256-capable terminals can be specified as colorN.
- Entering a number in the prompt will jump to that line number.
- Handle core.worktree by setting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.
- Make behavior of horizontal scrolling configurable by setting the
'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.
- Fix handling of quoted strings in the config file.
- Fix horizontal scrolling glitches.
tig-0.14
--------
Incompatibilities:
- The screen-resize action has been deprecated. It had no real use for
users and was never meant to be exposed.
- The "tree-parent" action was renamed to "parent". Warnings will be
emitted for transition.
- Remove parsing of deprecated option -S and subcommands log and diff.
- The "author" color replaces "main-author". Setting the latter will
now set the "author" color.
Improvements:
- Horizontal scrolling. Bound to Left/Right by default.
- Read tigrc(5) options from git configuration files using the syntax:
[tig] show-rev-graph = true
[tig "color"] cursor = yellow red bold
[tig "bind"] generic = P parent
- Tree view: avoid flickering when updating.
- Tree view: annotate entries with commit information.
- Tree & blob view: open any blob in an editor.
- Stage & main view: restore view position when reloading.
- Blame view: load blame for parent commit. For merge commits the parent
is queried. Bound to ',' by default via the existing "parent" action.
- Abbreviate author names to initials when the width of the author column
is below 6 characters.
Bug fixes:
- Tree view: fix memory corruption bug when updating.
- Tree view: improve handling of empty trees.
- Status view: fix reverting of unmerged files.
- Fix regression for non-UTF-8 locales corrupting the view data.
- Fix regression parsing multiple spaces in ~/.tigrc.
tig-0.13
--------
Incompatibilities:
- Commands from the environment (e.g. TIG_MAIN_CMD) will no longer have
access to shell features, such as subshells and variable expansion.
The easiest way to upgrade your configuration is to put such commands
in a script file or as a git alias.
Improvements:
- Display repository references in the sorted order: tags, heads,
tracked remotes, remotes.
- Add bash completion for blame.
- Tree view: edit files of the current branch.
- Run requests: new identifiers %(directory), %(file), and %(ref)
- Improve responsiveness and view loading speed by using select(2).
Bug fixes:
- Separate blame revision and file argument by "--" to avoid problems.
- Main view: fix redrawing of the last commit wrt. the revision graph.
- Fix waiting for input after executing a run request in pager mode.
- Status & stage view: refuse to open directories and deleted files.
- Tree view: show error when requesting blame for all non-file entries.
- Do not draw loading views, which are not displayed.
- Fix launching of mergetool from a subdirectory.
Changes:

changes. Bound to ! by default.
* Main view: use --topo-order also when rev-list arguments are given on
the command line.
* Log view: support for refreshing.
Bug fixes:
* Status view: use ls-files' --exclude-standard so user specific ignore
rules are effective. The option was added in git version 1.5.4.
* Stage view: fix assertion failure triggered when updating while status
view is not displayed.
* Help view: avoid confusion by showing "(no key)" instead of "?" for
unbound requests.
* Reload repository references when refreshing the main (and log) view.

--------
Improvements:
* F5 also refreshes the current view.
* Allow line graphics to be disabled with new line-graphics option.
* Main view: also include the reference names when searching.

Tig is a git repository browser that additionally can act as a pager for
output from various git commands.
When browsing repositories, it uses the underlying git commands to present
the user with various views, such as summarized revision log and showing
the commit with the log message, diffstat, and the diff.
Using it as a pager, it will display input from stdin and colorize it.
