## tig-2.0

Note to packagers:

- Add `.adoc` extension to AsciiDoc files so they show correctly on GitHub. This includes `README`, `INSTALL`, and `NEWS` and files in `doc/` directory.

- `BUGS` file has been merged into `README.adoc`.

- Default keybindings have been moved to a system-level `tigrc` file, which is installed to $/etc by default. The content of the `tigrc` file is included inside the binary as a fall-back. Pass `NO_BUILTIN_TIGRC=y` to not include the system `tigrc` content and reduce the size of the binary.

- The example `contrib/tigrc` file (made obsolete by `tigrc`) has been removed.

- Source files have been moved to `src` and `include` and `tig.c` was split up.

- Build output is less verbose by default; use `make V=1` for old output.

Incompatibilities:

- In preparation for key combo support, key mappings for symbolic keys (e.g. `Up` and `Down`) must now start with `<` and end with `>`, e.g. `<Up>` and `<Down>`. Furthermore, escape key combos must now use `<Esc>key` instead of `^[key`, and control key mappings must now use `<Ctrl-key>` instead of `^key`.

- 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.

- Most view display options must now be set via the new `*-view` options in tigrc. Existing options are no longer recognized, but a warning is shown.

- Remap default bindings to have more consistent convention: use lower-case keys primarily for view switching and non-destructive actions, use upper-case keys for view-specific actions including user-defined commands. To preserve old default key bindings see `contrib/bindings-v1.x.tigrc`. (GH #257)

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, #46)

- Add completion and history support to the prompt via readline. (GH #185)

- Options can be configured and toggled individually for each view. Use the new view settings to configure the order and display options for each view columns. See system tigrc and tigrc(5) for examples. (GH #89, #222)

- 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.

- Rename branch view to refs view and show tags. (GH #134)

- Add main view pager mode that reads git-log’s --pretty=raw data from stdin, e.g. `git reflog --pretty=raw | tig --pretty=raw`.

- Add support for `--graph` and highlight diff stats in the log view.

- Add default command bindings: `!` to delete branch, `!` to drop stash.

- 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)

- Auto-refresh views based on watched repository changes. Configure by setting `refresh-mode` to manual, auto, after-command, or periodic. (GH #190)

- All default settings are in well-documented system `tigrc`.

- Add `:toggle` prompt command to manipulate options using keybindings. For example: `bind diff D :toggle diff-options --patience --notes`. (GH #69)

- Add a new "auto" value for the vertical-split option to let Tig choose the split orientation (this is the new default behavior). Can be toggled.

- Make it possible to toggle the display of files in untracked directories.

- Allow Tig to be started with no default configuration by specifying an alternative system `tigrc` file, e.g.: `TIGRC_SYSTEM=~/.tigrc.safe tig`. Set `TIGRC_SYSTEM` to the empty string to use built-in configuration instead of

- Key mappings can contain UTF-8 multibyte unicode keys.

- Warn about conflicting keybindings using Ctrl, e.g. `<Ctrl-f>` and `<Ctrl-F>`. (GH #218)

- Extend key bindings for prompt commands (ie. `bind <keymap> <key> :<prompt>`) to support predefined searches, eg.: `bind stage 2 :?^@@`.

- Git color mappings can be configured in tigrc.

- More informative configuration error messages.

- Make reference label formatting configurable, for example: `set reference-format = (branch) <tags> remote`. (GH #201)

- Adjust author width and other view columns automatically. (GH #49)

- Support view specific colors: `color stage.diff-add yellow default`.

- Copy `-S`, `-G` and `--grep=` pattern to search buffer so find-next and find-prev work as expected.

- Optionally specify custom prompt for `%(prompt)` in shell commands, e.g. `bind main B ?git checkout -b "%(prompt Enter new branch name: )"`.

- Add `%(remote)` and `%(tag)` symbols to complement `%(branch)`.

- User-defined commands can now be prefixed with any of the supported flags, e.g. `?git checkout -b %(branch)`.

- Open editor at line number for combined diffs e.g. diffs of unmerged files.

- Add build configuration for Cygwin (OS name: CYGWIN_NT-6.1). (GH #92)

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.

- 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 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. Prefixing the command with a ! will execute this system command in 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. Enable using: `set wrap-lines = yes`. (GH #2)

- Add author-width option to customize the width of the author column. For example, put the following in ~/.tigrc: set author-width = 10

Bug fixes:

- Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section.

- Bind the maximize view action to O; it conflicted with the keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view.
