+Magit v2.3.0 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Released 28 October 2015 by Jonas Bernoulli.
+
+We are pleased to announce the release of Magit version 2.3.0,
+representing 367 commits by 12 people over 10 weeks.
+
+Changes since v2.2.0
+--------------------
+
+* Added `--interactive' switch to `magit-rebase-popup' so that rebase
+ variants which normally perform a non-interactive rebase can be used
+ to perform an interactive rebase too. #2186
+
+* Commands that perform an interactive rebase should no longer be used
+ non-interactively (i.e., they should only be used as commands). #2187
+
+* Rebasing commands now can start with a root commit. Root commits
+ are detected automatically, so users don't have to use the `--root'
+ switch explicitly. #2187
+
+* Added new command `magit-checkout-file'.
+
+* Added new option `magit-bury-buffer-function' to give users more
+ control over how Magit buffers are buried, replacing the old binary
+ option `magit-restore-window-configuration'. The default is still
+ the same, i.e., `magit-restore-window-configuration' is used. #2193
+
+* Added new function `magit-mode-quit-window' as a simpler variant to
+ `magit-restore-window-configuration'. #2193
+
+* Information about related refs in `magit-revision-mode' buffers are
+ now grouped in the same section as other headers and are formatted
+ like those other headers instead of like diffstats. The redundant
+ header which previously grouped the related refs section is gone.
+ All headers are inserted by the new `magit-insert-revision-headers'
+ section inserter. #2216
+
+* No longer avoid calling git more than absolutely necessary when
+ creating a `magit-revision-mode' buffer. This simplifies parsing,
+ makes it simpler to prettify how information is presented, allows
+ users to customize how and in what order information is presented,
+ and prepares for faster, asynchronously created diffs. #2216
+
+* The various sections in revision buffers are now inserted using new
+ section inserters named `magit-insert-revision-{*}', all of which
+ are part of the default value of `magit-revision-sections-hook'.
+ #2216
+
+* The various sections in diff buffers are now inserted using new
+ section inserters named `magit-insert-diff-{*}', all of which are
+ part of the default value of `magit-diff-sections-hook'. #2216
+
+* Added new option `magit-revision-headers-format' whose value is
+ passed to `git show --format=' to insert most of the headers,
+ excluding the related-refs headers. The default value now uses
+ placeholders which respect information in the file ".mailmap".
+ #2216
+
+* Removed options `magit-revision-show-notes',
+ `magit-diff-show-xref-buttons', `magit-revision-show-xref-buttons',
+ `magit-diff-show-diffstat', and `magit-revision-show-diffstat'.
+ Whether these sections are inserted is now controlled using the
+ hooks `magit-diff-section-hook' and `magit-revision-section-hook'.
+ #2216
+
+* Gravatar images can now be shown in `magit-revision-buffers'. New
+ option `magit-revision-show-gravatars' controls whether these images
+ should be inserted and can also be used to adjust to customizations
+ of `magit-revision-headers-format'.
+
+ This feature is not enabled by default due to privacy concerns.
+
+ Gravatar images are spliced into two halves which are then displayed
+ on separate lines. On OS X the splicing has a bug in some Emacs
+ builds, which causes the top and bottom halves to be interchanged.
+ Setting the new option `magit-revision-use-gravatar-kludge' to `t'
+ works around this issue. #2216
+
+* After using the region to stage or discard parts of a hunk, point is
+ now placed on the beginning of the next or previous block of changed
+ lines. Previously we just jumped to the beginning of the hunk at
+ the same index as the previous hunk, but that often was very far
+ away from where point was before the refresh. #2227
+
+* The function `magit-toplevel' was refactored and many tests were
+ added. It now returns the correct value when a symlink to a
+ sub-directory of a working tree is involved. #2242
+
+* New option `magit-keep-region-overlay' allows displaying the region
+ overlay together with the visualization of a valid Magit selection.
+ See the doc-string for why we think you shouldn't do that, but if
+ you disagree then you can now have it your way. #2091
+
+* Avoid the inefficiency of `git log --graph --max-count=N REV' (it
+ calculates the graph for all reachable commits, not just the N
+ commits), by additionally limiting the history using a range
+ calculated from REV and N, when possible. #2243
+
+* Renamed `magit-file-buffer-mode' to `magit-file-mode'. Related
+ symbols were renamed accordingly.
+
+* Added new minor mode `magit-blob-mode' and new commands
+ `magit-blob-previous' and `magit-blob-next'. #2195
+
+* Added new commands `magit-branch-spinoff' and `magit-branch-reset'.
+ #2191
+
+* Added new option `magit-status-expand-stashes'.
+
+* In addition to `default-directory' also set `list-buffers-directory'
+ to the top-level of the working tree in Magit buffers, causing that
+ directory to be displayed in the "File" column of the *Buffer List*
+ buffer.
+
+* Added a kludge to keep Cygwin and MYSYS2 executables from expanding
+ globs when called from a native Windows Emacs executable. #2281
+
+* Added a revision stack. The new commands `magit-copy-section-value'
+ and `magit-copy-buffer-revision', which are intended for use inside
+ Magit buffers, push an entry to the stack, and the new command
+ `magit-pop-revision-stack' inserts a representation into an editable
+ buffer. New option `magit-pop-revision-stack-format' controls how
+ the representation of the revision is formatted. The old commands
+ `magit-copy-as-kill' and `magit-copy-buffer-thing-as-kill' have been
+ removed. #2225
+
+* The default values of options `magit-commit-extend-override-date'
+ and `magit-commit-extend-override-date' changed to `t'.
+
+* Added new option `magit-log-show-margin'.
+
+* Added new option `magit-log-remove-graph-args'. #2226
+
+* Added support for showing actionable diffs inside logs. #2226
+
+* Added basic support for tracing the evolution of a region. #2226
+
+* Added new command `magit-stash-format-patch'.
+
+* All apply variants learned how to apply multiple hunks at once. #2271
+
+* Regular apply learned how to apply multiple files at once. #2271
+
+* `git-commit-setup' learned to handle Cygwin paths. It had to be
+ taught about that separately from the rest of Magit, because, for
+ historic reasons, we try to keep the `git-commit' package usable
+ without Magit.
+
+* The signatures of `magit-mode-setup' and `magit-mode-get-buffer'
+ have changed, and `magit-mode-get-buffer-create' has been removed.
+ Extensions have to be adjusted accordingly. #2282.
+
+* All Magit-Mode buffers (including process buffers, but excluding
+ popup, blob-visiting, and file-visiting buffers, whose major-modes
+ do not derive from `magit-mode' and therefore aren't "Magit-Mode
+ buffers") are now displayed using `magit-display-buffer', which is a
+ wrapper around the low-level `display-buffer'. High-level functions
+ such as `pop-to-buffer' and `switch-to-buffer' are no longer used to
+ display Magit buffers.
+
+ `magit-display-buffer' uses the function specified by the new option
+ `magit-display-buffer-function' to actually display the buffer in
+ some window. The default value is `magit-display-buffer-traditional'.
+ By implementing their own variant to wrap around `display-buffer',
+ users can take complete control over how Magit buffers are displayed.
+ It's also possible to use `display-buffer' directly and specify the
+ display actions in `display-buffer-alist'.
+
+ Added new options `magit-pre-display-buffer-hook' and
+ `magit-post-display-buffer-hook', and removed the options
+ `magit-status-buffer-switch-function' and
+ `magit-diff-switch-buffer-function'. #2282
+
+* Added new options `magit-generate-buffer-name-function',
+ `magit-buffer-name-format', and `magit-uniquify-buffer-names',
+ replacing the various `magit-{*}-buffer-name-format' options. #2282
+
+* Added new command `magit-toggle-buffer-lock'. Previously it was
+ possible to prevent Magit from reusing an existing buffer to display
+ something else, using the command `magit-rename-buffer' (which was
+ removed). Now this is done by locking the buffer to its value.
+ #2282
+
+* The status buffer is now always refreshed after running a Magit
+ command triggers a refresh. Previously that was only the case if
+ the buffer in which the command was invoked was a Magit buffer too.
+
+* Added optional support for refreshing the status buffer every time a
+ buffer visiting a file, which is tracked in the current repository,
+ is saved. To enable this add `magit-after-save-refresh-buffers' to
+ `after-save-hook'.
+
+* Added new functions `magit-log-maybe-update-revision-buffer',
+ `magit-log-maybe-update-blob-buffer',
+ `magit-status-maybe-update-revision-buffer', and
+ `magit-status-maybe-update-blob-buffer', and added some of them to
+ `magit-section-movement-hook'. Removed the function
+ `magit-log-maybe-show-commit', which served about the same purpose
+ as these new functions. Previously one had to customize the option
+ `magit-diff-auto-show' to control when the other buffer was updated,
+ now one does so by adding or removing the above functions to or from
+ `magit-section-movement-hook'. The other window is only ever
+ updated now, to initially create it, use `SPC'. #2338
+
+* Added new hook `magit-process-find-password-functions', with no
+ default members. These functions, if any, are run when git requests
+ a password from the user, if there are no such functions, or if they
+ fail, then the user has to type the password as before. Added new
+ function `magit-process-password-auth-source'. It can be added to
+ that hook and uses `auth-source' to get the password from one of the
+ sources it supports. #2311
+
+* Removed broken support for unicode log graphs.
+
+* `magit-expand-git-file-name' learned to use the output of `mount' to
+ map Cygwin paths into native Windows paths. `git-commit-setup' now
+ uses `magit-expand-git-file-name' if available. #2348
+
+* Added new function `magit-define-popup-sequence-action' and taught
+ related functions about `:sequence-actions'.
+
+* Added new hook `magit-credential-hook' and added new hook function
+ `magit-maybe-start-credential-cache-daemon' to it. This allows
+ starting Git's credential daemon separately, which is necessary
+ because Emacs sends SIGHUP and closes the pty when e.g `git push'
+ (which started the daemon) finishes. Upon receiving that signal
+ the daemon terminates. We work around this by starting the daemon
+ directly before invoking the git subcommand which might need
+ credentials. #2360
+
+This release also contains the changes described in the v2.2.1 and
+v2.2.2 release notes, as well as various other documentation fixes,
+code clean-ups, bug fixes, and other small to medium improvements.
