Over the years the source had gotten -very disorganized and many old abstractions were no longer sufficient. -Unfortunately existing code had almost never been adjusted when new -features had been added, leading to a lot of new code that worked -around limitations of existing code. - -This was clearly not sustainable in the long run, and so I started -cleaning up and replacing the existing abstractions with simpler, yet -often more powerful implementations. Unfortunately his had to happen -incrementally as it was seldom possible to cleanup one area without -making substantial changes elsewhere. Along the way I also addressed -many of the hundreds of feature requests, but that was more of a bonus -- the focus was on getting the codebase ready for future improvements. - -At the beginning of 2014 I moved development to the new next branch. -Working on a branch which was not used by thousands of Melpa users -allowed me to move faster and users were no longer affected by the -occasional regression. But it also meant that I now had to maintain -two branches. In hindsight I should have released the master branch -as 1.3.0 at that time, despite all the known defects it had. - -Since then I have finished the cleanup on the next branch and then -moved on to implement many new features. On the master branch the -focus was on bugfixes and the occasional backport. This release is -based on the master branch. Later this spring 2.1.0 will be released -based on the next branch. - -Compiling a list of all changes in 1.4.0 would by a major amount of -work in itself, so instead the below list is for the most part limited -to major changes, which enabled the user visible changes. Many users -don't have to be told about the new features anyway - they have been -using them for more than a year now. - -Changes since v1.2.2 --------------------- - - * The libraries `magit-topgit.el', `magit-stgit.el', and - `magit-svn.el' all reincarnated as separate repository. - - * The libraries `magit-classic-theme.el' and `magit-simple-keys.el', - which allowed users to undo some of the changes in older releases, - were removed. - - * The library `rebase-mode.el' was renamed to `git-rebase-mode.el' - and moved to the `magit/git-modes' repository. - - * The library `magit-log-edit-mode.el' was removed and replaced with - `git-commit-mode.el' from the `magit/git-modes' repository. - - * The functionality provided by the library `magit-bisect.el' was - replaced with a new implementation in `magit.el'. - - * The package `cl-lib` is now used instead of the obsolete `cl'. - - * The library `magit.el' no longer lacks any recognizable structure. - - * The macro `magit-define-command' was removed. - The hook that was defined in addition to the command only served - to make things more complicated and the generated doc-string was - insufficient. - - * The use of "section actions" has been reduced to a minimum. - Commands that behave differently depending on the type of the - current section still use `magit-section-case' or in some cases - even `magit-section-action', but the preferred way for users to - add new variants now is to add a new command to the type-specific - section keymap, instead of the hooks defined by - `magit-section-action'. - - * More work is done directly in `magit-with-section'. - Most of the helper functions were removed. These functions - were not intended to be used directly, but that did not keep - contributors from doing so, leading to many inconsistencies. - - * The mode machinery was massively refactored. - Most importantly the new macro `magit-mode-setup' was added, - replacing the old `magit-mode-init' which forgoes most of the - things each and every of its callers has to do, which let to many - inconsistencies - - * The refresh machinery was massively refactored. - A refresh now has to be requested more explicitly by either calling - `magit-refresh' or one of the functions that call Git and then the - former. Also, refreshing now more often correctly preserves point. - - * Washing diffs now takes less cycles. - Previously the code used to wash diffs was very complicated. It - passed around state using many dynamically bound variables, and - called `git diff' many times. Now we call `git diff' once and then - wash its output in one go. - - * Commits and stashes are now washed using the regular diffwasher. - - * Low-level functions for running Git were massively refactored, and - many new variants were added. Previously many callers had to deal - with the gory details themselves (and usually did it badly). - - * The output from processes is now logged in a dedicated buffer. - From this buffer it's also possible to kill a running process. - - * The Wazzup buffer was massively refactored. - All options to optionally make it faster were removed, as it is now - faster out-of-the-box without sacrificing any functionality at all. - - * Many more competing abstractions were unified. - It was common to have one no longer sufficient core abstraction, and - several competing wrapper abstractions. In most cases this has been - replaced with a single, less complex implementation, which serves all - of the current use cases. - - * Refreshing "after a asynchronous process has run" now happens after - the process has actually finished. That was always the intention, - but not what actually used to happen. - - * The commit message is no longer provided when calling `git commit'. - Instead Git populates a file with a template and then uses $EDITOR - to have the user edit that. This did not work so well for a while - but now we succeed in having the emacsclient being used as $EDITOR. - - * A new Branch Manager was added. - - * Log learned to show optionally show author information in the - margin. - - * Terminology with regards to what a tracking branch is, was fixed. - - * When creating a new branch the default choice is what Git would - default to, instead of some silly name. - - * Tools used to test whether Git supports certain features was removed. - Instead we now require a non-ancient version of Git. - - * The shell script `magit' reincarnated as a separate repository. - -Authors -------- - - 1838 Jonas Bernoulli - 171 Yann Hodique - 121 Pieter Praet - 59 Rémi Vanicat - 24 Nicolas Dudebout - 21 Takafumi Arakaki - 16 acple - 14 Phil Jackson - 13 Rüdiger Sonderfeld - 12 Mitchel Humpherys - 8 Servilio Afre Puentes - 7 Ramkumar Ramachandra - 7 Teruki Shigitani - 6 Lluís Vilanova - 6 Sergey Vinokurov - 5 Thierry Volpiatto - 4 Moritz Bunkus - 4 Noam Postavsky - 4 Seong-Kook Shin - 3 Laurent Laffont - 3 Leonardo Etcheverry - 3 Loic Dachary - 3 Raimon Grau - 3 Sébastien Gross - 2 Bastian Beischer - 2 Damien Cassou - 2 Evgkeni Sampelnikof - 2 Greg A.
