Hello,
Version 1.0 of tig is now available. This release brings many smaller
tweaks and improvements as well as a number of fixes and compatibility
changes to work with the newer versions of git. See the release notes
below for a detailed list of changes.
Note that the master repository has been moved to:
git://github.com/jonas/tig.git.
So if you were tracking the old master repository, please update your
.git/config or run:
$ git remote set-url origin git://github.com/jonas/tig.git
What is tig?
------------
Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for
commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various git
commands.

Release notes
-------------
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.
Improvements:
- Use git-log(1)s default commit ordering. The old behavior can be
restored by adding `set commit-order = topo` to ~/.tigrc.
- Support staging of single lines. Bound to '1' default. (GH #21)
- Use +<lineno> to open the initial view at an arbitrary line. (GH #20)
- Add show-notes ~/.tigrc option. Notes are displayed by default.
- Support jumping to specific SHAs in the main view.
- Decorate replaced commits.
- Display line numbers in main view.
- Colorize binary diff stats. (GH #17)
- Custom colorization of lines matching a string prefix (GH #16).
Example configuration: color "Reported-by:" green default
- Use git's color settings for the main, status and diff views.
Put `set read-git-colors = no` in ~/.tigrc to disable.
- Handle editor options with multiple arguments. (GH #12)
- Show filename when running tig blame with copy detection. (GH #19)
- Use 'source <path>' command to load additional files from ~/.tigrc
- User-defined commands prefixed with '@' are run with no console
output, e.g.
bind generic 3 !@rm sys$command
- Make display of space changes togglable in the diff and stage view.
Bound to 'W' by default.
- Use per-file encoding specified in gitattributes(5) for blobs and
unstaged files.
- Obsolete commit-encoding option and pass --encoding=UTF-8 to revision
commands.
- Main view: show uncommitted changes as staged/unstaged commits.
Can be disabled by putting `set show-changes = no` in ~/.tigrc.
- Add %(prompt) external command variable, which will prompt for the
argument value.
- Log information about git commands when the TIG_TRACE environment
variable is set. Example: `TIG_TRACE=/tmp/tig.log tig`
- Branch view: Show the title of the last commit.
- Increase the author auto-abbreviation threshold to 10. (GH #49)
- For old commits show number of years in relative dates. (GH #50)
Bug fixes:
- Fix navigation behavior when going from branch to main view. (GH #38)
- Fix segfault when sorting the tree view by author name.
- Fix diff stat navigation for unmodified files with stat changes.
- Show branches/refs which names are a substring of the current branch.
- Stage view: fix off-by-one error when jumping to a file in a diff
with only one file.
- Fix diff-header colorization. (GH #15)
