-Magit v2.9.0 Release Notes
-==========================
-
-Released 7 December 2016 by Jonas Bernoulli.
-
-We are pleased to announce the release of Magit version 2.9.0,
-representing 250 commits by 18 people over 15 weeks.
-
-Also see https://emacsair.me/2016/12/07/magit-2.9.
-
-Breaking changes since v2.8.0
------------------------------
-
-* For historic reasons "RET" behaved differently in `magit-refs-mode'
- than anywhere else. "RET" is one of Magit's most essential key
- bindings and users quickly learn that regardless of what is actually
- at point, it always shows more information about that thing in
- another buffer. It can be very confusing if the references buffer
- breaks this convention.
-
- Now `magit-visit-ref' behaves just like `magit-show-commit' even in
- `magit-refs-mode' buffers. By default at least; you can easily
- revert this change using:
-
- (setq magit-visit-ref-behavior '(checkout-any focus-on-ref))
-
- However we recommend that you instead press "b b RET" to checkout
- the reference at point, just like you always had to do in other
- buffers. And "C-u y o RET" to make commit counts and lists of
- cherries commits relative to the reference at point.
-
- Furthermore the option `magit-visit-ref-create' was removed. If you
- previously had that set to `t', then you can achieve the same using:
-
- (add-to-list 'magit-visit-ref-behavior 'create-branch)
-
- However we recommend that you instead press "b c RET RET", just like
- you always had to do in other buffers. #2868
-
-* The option `magit-popup-show-common-commands' now defaults to `nil'.
-
- This was done to make popups less noisy but increases the odds
- that some users will never become aware of the common commands.
- To counter that, the usage instructions displayed in the echo area
- now also mention the key that can be used to show these commands
- temporarily. #2868
-
- You can easily revert this change using:
-
- (setq magit-popup-show-common-commands t)
-
-* The option `magit-popup-use-prefix-argument' defaults to `default'
- now, meaning that the use of a prefix argument causes the popup's
- default action to be invoked directly without the popup being shown
- first.
-
- Previously the use of a prefix argument did not invoke the popup
- or its default action, and instead informed users that they had to
- choose what behavior they wanted and that they had to set the option
- accordingly. Doing that was necessary three years ago, when the
- default behavior changed when "magit-key-mode.el" was replaced with
- "magit-popup.el". Now we don't need that safety net anymore. #2868
-
-* If, and only if, point is on a removed line in a diff, then "RET"
- now jumps to the last commit which still had that line, not the
- commit which removed that line. Staged changes are excluded from
- this new behavior because in that case it seems favorable to always
- visit the file in the working tree to make further changes. #2755
-
- You can easily revert this change using:
-
- (setq magit-diff-visit-previous-blob nil)
-
-* The margin that by default is displayed in pure log buffers and
- optionally in some other buffers that contain logs is now more
- flexible and easier to customize and to change on the fly.
-
- The popup that "L" is bound to now features three commands that
- for changing the appearance of the margin: `magit-toggle-margin',
- `magit-toggle-margin-details' and `magit-cycle-margin-style'.
-
- The binding for `magit-toggle-margin' has changed from "L t" to the
- simpler "L L". You can easily revert this change using:
-
- (magit-change-popup-key 'magit-log-refresh-popup :action ?L ?t)
- (magit-change-popup-key 'magit-margin-popup :action ?L ?t)
-
- For each mode that supports the margin there now exists a dedicated
- option named `magit-*-margin', which controls whether the margin is
- shown initially, whether the author name is displayed in addition
- to the committer date, and how that committer date is formatted.
- All of these options can be found in the new `magit-margin' Custom
- group.
-
- It is now possible to show the actual committer date, using a time
- format of your choosing. Previously the only option was to display
- the age of the commit.
-
- The old options that were previously used to configure the margin
- have been removed. If you have customized `magit-log-show-margin',
- `magit-reflog-show-margin' and/or `magit-refs-show-margin', then you
- now have to customize the respective new variable whose names do not
- contain "-show". The same applies if you have previously changed
- the value of `magit-log-margin-spec'. Unfortunately this cannot be
- automated because the format of the values has changed and because
- the old customizations do not unambiguously map to the new options.
-
- You might also want to customize the options `magit-status-margin',
- `magit-stashes-margin' and `magit-log-select-margin', for all of
- which no corresponding `magit-*-show-margin' used to exist. Another
- new option is `magit-refs-margin-for-tags'.
-
- If you choose to display the commit dates instead of the commit
- ages in all supported modes, then you should set `magit-log-margin'
- before loading `magit'. If you do that then the default values of
- the other `magit-*-margin' options will use the same commit date
- style without you having to customize each option individually.
- #2885, #2792
-
-* By default Git-Commit no longer complains about a summary line that
- is too long by some standards. You can easily revert this change
- using: 2f115d51
-
- (add-to-list 'git-commit-style-convention-checks
- 'overlong-summary-line)
-
-* In buffers used to write commit messages `fill-column' is no longer
- set to 72. Instead the default value 70 is used (or whatever local
- or global value is set up through other means). You can easily
- revert this change using: #2848, #2852
-
- (setq git-commit-fill-column 72)
-
-* When it takes too long to parse diffs, then Magit used to stop
- expanding diff sections after one second. This was a constant
- source of confusion and one second is a very long time anyway, so
- this did not really help hiding the slowness, so this kludge was
- effectively dropped. You can easily revert this change using:
-
- (setq magit-diff-expansion-threshold 1.0)
-
- By the way, improving performance will soon be a priority again.
- #2886
-
-Changes since v2.8.0
---------------------
-
-* Magit has a new shiny logo! It was created by Dmitriy A. from
- Prospect One. Thanks a lot! https://prospectone.io/portfolio/magit
-
-* The new option `magit-branch-adjust-remote-upstream-alist' can be
- used to configure what branch to use as upstream when branching a
- remote branch. Without setting this option the upstream ends up
- being the same branch as the one referred to by the push-remote.
- 85c3053d
-
-* The per-refresh cache, which is used to save calls to git because
- that is surprisingly slow on Windows, has been improved for calls to
- `git config'. Instead of just avoiding identical calls to `git
- config' as for other sub-commands, we now call `git config --list'
- only once per refresh to obtain a list of all variables and their
- values. #2743
-
-* When visiting a file or blob buffer by pressing "RET" while point is
- inside a diff, then the position this jumps to is now accurate (even
- when jumping to the file in the working tree from a diff that wasn't
- about changes in the working tree). #2828
-
-* When visiting a file or blob buffer by pressing "RET" while point is
- inside a diff, then the buffer may be widened but only if necessary.
- If it isn't necessary to widen the buffer to jump to the appropriate
- location, because that position falls into the narrowed region, then
- that the buffer isn't widened. #2804, #2818
-
-* Hunk refinement is now faster. Users who previously set
- `magit-diff-refine-hunk' to `nil' due to performance issues may
- find that it now works well even when set to `all'. #2834
-
-* The new options `magit-diff-highlight-hunk-region-functions' and
- `magit-diff-unmarked-lines-keep-foreground' (which was previously
- defined as an undocumented variable) allow tuning the appearance
- of the hunk-internal region.
-
- The new function `magit-diff-highlight-hunk-region-using-face',
- provides a new style; it makes the hunk-internal region bold (or
- italic). I recommend you customize the above option to use this
- function instead of one of the functions mentioned below.
-
- The new functions `magit-diff-highlight-hunk-region-using-overlays'
- and `magit-diff-highlight-hunk-region-using-underline' draw one-pixel
- lines before and after the hunk-internal region. Both of these
- functions have (different) glitches and due to limitations of Emacs'
- display engine it is not possible to fix those. #2293, #2758, #2791
-
-* Added command `magit-find-git-config-file' and variants to make it
- easier to open a file located in the git directory when ".git" is
- a regular file whose contents describe the location of the real git
- directory. 8664223c
-
-* Added command `magit-emacs-Q-command' to make troubleshooting and
- bug reporting easier for users not installing from the git
- repository. #2856
-
-* The command `magit-branch-spinoff' learned to remove only a subset
- of commits from the previously current branch, instead of resetting
- it to its upstream, when the region selects commits reachable from
- HEAD. 1e652b87
-
-* The command `magit-branch-delete' now falls back to deleting the
- tracking branch when the user attempts to delete a remote branch
- which does not actually exist on the remote anymore. #2778
-
-* The command `magit-diff-dwim' learned about additional cases. On
- a non-current branch it now shows the diff for "CURRENT...BRANCH"
- (instead of "BRANCH..CURRENT") and inside a stash buffer it shows
- the diff for the commit at point. #2812
-
-* The command `magit-push', which "o" is bound to in the push popup,
- now offers the push-branch as default choice. Only if that is not
- set does it default to the upstream as before. And when pushing a
- commit that is reachable from HEAD, then it offers to push to the
- push-branch or upstream of the current branch (which still has to
- be forced explicitly). #2820
-
-* Log commands now support completion of refs in the "refs/tags" and
- "refs/pull" namespaces. #2878
-
-* Added option `magit-no-confirm-default' to allow specifying commands
- which should just use the default choice instead of having the user
- confirm that by pressing RET. I recommend you don't use this, but
- if you think that the defaults are so good that you always want to
- use them, then this might make it a bit easier for you. #2741
-
-* Added option `magit-slow-confirm' for users who are afraid they
- would answer `y-or-n-p' questions to quickly. One action, deleting
- all stashes, now defaults to having to be confirmed with "yes RET".
- #2752
-
-* Added option `magit-view-git-manual-method' to allow following links
- to the Git Info manual by visiting the respective manpage instead.
- de38266a
-
-* The option `magit-branch-prefer-remote-upstream' now also supports
- regexps as members instead of only complete branch names. #2823
-
-* The option `magit-branch-read-upstream-first' used to be a boolean.
- Now it supports a third value `fallback', which means to read the
- upstream first like `t', but if the value provided by the user does
- not reference an existing revision, then it is treated as the name of
- the new branch and the upstream is read using the second prompt, as
- if the value of this option were `nil'. #2741
-
-* When deleting a stash, the hash is now logged to the process log
- buffer in addition to *Messages*, making it more likely that a
- user who accidentally deleted a stash would find the information
- required to undo that. #2746
-
-* The environment variable `INSIDE_EMACS' is now set when calling git.
- #2789
-
-* `magit-define-popup' now allows specifying `:max-action-columns' per
- section by using a function that returns a different value based on
- the heading, which is passed as argument. 964fcbe0
-
-* Added support for new gpg status letters X, Y, R, and E. #2845
-
-* Added `hl-line-mode' to `magit-repolist-hook' and
- `magit-submodule-list-hook' and defined those hooks explicitly.
- 9f806732
-
-* Added the `--gpg-sign=' option to the revert popup. 916e4599
-
-* Added the `--sort=' option to the show-refs popup. (Use "C-u y" to
- show the popup instead of invoking its default action as "y" does.)
- 8ab81f06
-
-* Added new faces `git-rebase-comment-heading'
- and `git-rebase-comment-hash'. #2769
-
-* `whitespace-mode' is not compatible with Magit buffers, where it is
- now actively prevented from being turned on by the user. #2821
-
-Fixes since v2.8.0
-------------------
-
-* The command `magit-list-repositories' failed on empty repositories.
- 09fac022
-
-* The Git variable `pull.rebase' was ignored when determining whether
- the current branch is being rebased onto its upstream in order to
- display that information in the status buffer. 9c946ee3
-
-* On 32-bit systems `magit-format-log-margin' failed because it tried
- to truncate a time float that was too large for that. #2765
-
-* On Emacs v25.1 the hunk-internal region flashed briefly on
- mouse-down-1 events and the delimiting horizontal lines could end
- up having the height of a regular line instead of just a single
- pixel. #2758
-
-* On Windows, when using a `windows-nt' Emacs together with a cygwin
- Git, we failed to instruct Emacs to not use dos shell quoting when
- calling git. And if Git wasn't available, then that caused an
- error, which prevented Magit from being loaded. #2842
-
-* The encoding of commit messages is controlled by the Git variable
- `i18n.logOutputEncoding' but we failed to take that into account.
- Fixes by setting `i18n.logOutputEncoding' to UTF-8, but only inside
- Magit and only for `window-nt'. #2738, #2813
-
-* It wasn't taken into account, until a few days after the release,
- that as of Git v2.11, the default abbreviation size is no longer
- hardcoded as 7 but instead scales with the repository size. #2880
-
-* File and directory local variables were not honored in the buffers
- used to write commit messages. #2852
-
-* The caching mechanism that is supposed to ensure that sections of
- unpulled and unpushed commits remain collapsed even when they
- disappear was broken for a while. 0ad041c4
-
-* Process sentinels did not in all cases ensure that the correct
- buffer was current before doing something that assumes that this is
- the case. Almost always that did not matter because it was the case
- anyway, but if other timers are running then it is possible that
- those make the wrong buffer current. #2836
-
-* Process sentinels and filters used when blaming assumed that the
- `exit' process status indicates success. #2836
-
-* The commands `magit-clone' and `magit-init' did not work over Tramp.
- #2806, #2807
-
-* The commands `magit-worktree-checkout' and `magit-worktree-branch'
- did not expand the path they pass to git, which is necessary because
- git does not know the meaning of "~/". #2796
-
-* The commands which create fixup/squash commands and then immediately
- squash them into the target commit did not remove `--gpg-sign' or
- add `--no-gpg-sign'. Signing such commits is not only unnecessary;
- unless the passphrase was cached earlier, trying to sign resulted in
- the process indefinitely waiting for the passphrase to arrive with
- no way for the user to actually provide it. #2799
-
-* Depending on the value of `magit-save-repository-buffers' the user
- might have been asked whether s/he wants to save "git-rebase-todo",
- which is never necessary and just a distraction. #2770, #2771
-
-* The function `magit-save-repository-buffers' did not follow symlinks.
- #2843
-
-* Directories whose names begin with a period were filtered out when
- using `magit-repository-directories' to calculate a list of repos.
- #2830
-
-* The user name and email, which are displayed when reading a gpg key
- from the user, were not stripped from the chosen value before being
- handed off to git. #2761
-
-* When the upstream of the current branch is a remote whose url isn't
- configured then that caused an error when refreshing the status
- buffer. #2858
-
-* Buffers visiting a blob used the file's `default-directory'
- even when that directory did not exist in the working tree. The
- top-level directory is now used as `default-directory' when the
- subdirectory does not exist. cfe46766
-
-* When visiting a directory by displaying a Dired buffer, we used to
- display a buffer for the parent of the directory in question and
- placed point on the name of the directory. But the intention always
- was to show the Dired buffer for the directory itself. 5665ba94
-
-* Visiting or deleting a submodule listed inside "Modules" failed.
- The latter is now done by de-initalizing the module. c26b746e
-
-* In the list of commits that are being rebased in the status buffer,
- HEAD was sometimes prefixed with "same" when "stop" would have been
- correct. #2877
-
-* The highlighting of a non-empty second line in a commit message was
- not automatically updated. #2777
-
-* When `--force-with-lease' was added to the `magit-push-popup',
- `--force' was removed, but sometimes the former just isn't enough.
- be39a9ba
-
-* The face `magit-diff-file-heading-highlight' used to inherit from
- `magit-diff-file-heading', which by default makes text bold. That
- resulted in the complete current heading to be bold, but only the
- file-name part is supposed to be bold. a4b52516
-
-* The manual stated that "DEL" in Git Rebase mode was bound to
- `magit-diff-show-or-scroll-down', which was not the case. A new
- command `git-rebase-show-or-scroll-down` has been added and bound
- to "DEL" to provide this functionality. #2863
-
-* The function `magit-repolist-status' did not expand the filename
- which may be necessary when listing submodules. cc8c1385
-
-* The macro `magit-with-temp-index' did honor the refresh cache, even
- though its BODY may contain calls to git that are identical to
- outside calls during the same refresh, but which are expected to
- return a different value due to the use of a different index. #2883
-
-* The log margin did not show the author of stashes. #2846
-
-* The status header about the upstream did not take
- `branch.NAME.rebase' into account. e65f15d0
-
-* Highlighting overlays could not be garbage collected until after a
- refresh. #2888
-
-This release also contains typofixes, documentation updates,
-code clean-ups, and other small bug fixes and improvements.
