You should consider to - update to the latest Emacs release now, or at least to v25.1, which - was released one and a half years ago. - -* Likewise support for older versions of Git is going to be removed. - You should update to at least v2.4, which was released almost three - years ago. Older releases don't get security updates anymore, which - is another reason to update. - -* The option `magit-no-confirm-default' has been demoted to a variable - and will be removed in v2.13.0. Please migrate your customizations - to the new option `magit-dwim-selection'. #3232 - -Changes since v2.11.0 ---------------------- - -* Added new commands `magit-previous-line' and `magit-next-line' as - substitutes for `previous-line' and `next-line'. Magit's selection - mechanism is based on the region but selects an area that is larger - than the region. This causes shift-selection to select two lines on - the first invocation when using the vanilla commands. On section - headings and inside hunk bodies the new magit-specific variants - don't move point on the first invocation and thereby they only - select a single section or line. Which inconsistency you prefer - is a matter of preference. #2912 - - To use the Magit-specific variants add this to your init file: - - (define-key magit-mode-map [remap previous-line] 'magit-previous-line) - (define-key magit-mode-map [remap next-line] 'magit-next-line) - -* The command `magit-refs-popup' now remembers arguments and they are - displayed in the header-line of `magit-refs-mode' buffers. The popup - command still invokes the default action by default when invoked from - another buffer, but when invoked from a `magit-refs-mode' buffer it - now shows the popup. #2898 - -* The module overview section now shows a hash for modules that don't - have a tag and column alignment is optimized. #3160 - -* The diff that is being displayed while committing learned about a - few more special cases. #3095 - -* Added new command `magit-branch-or-checkout' as a potential - substitute for `magit-checkout'. Setup instructions can be found in - the manual. #3104 - -* Added new customizable options `magit-log-highlight-keywords' and - `magit-diff-highlight-keywords', which control whether text inside - brackets is highlighted in magit-log and magit-diff buffers - respectively. #3190 - -* When the names of Magit buffers are not uniquified then their names - now end with an asterisk. When the `uniquify' package is used, then - that still is not possible due to limitations in that package. #2841 - -* When selecting a fixup target then the log graph, which makes it - less likely that you attempt to modify a merged commit, which would - result in the merges being lost when rebasing. c0209c74d - -* Added the existing commands `magit-blame' and `magit-blob-next' to - the `magit-file-popup' popup. - -* Added new command `magit-blame-reverse'. See the updated manual - for information on how to best use this and other blaming commands. - #3055 - -* Keywords in brackets are now being highlighted in `magit-refs-mode' - and `git-rebase-mode' buffers, and the headers of `magit-status-mode' - buffers, like they already were in logs. #3179 - -* Added new variable `magit-buffer-lock-functions' to support - third-party packages in creating Magit-like buffers. #3191 - -* Improve padding of head-line and add new faces `magit-header-line-key' - and `magit-header-line-log-select'. #3194 - -* When a stash has a note attached to it, then show it in the - `magit-stash-mode' buffer. aff2fba8f - -* Added new command `magit-rebase-remove-commit' to the rebase popup. - -* The remote popup can now be used to set various remote related - variables. #3165 - -* Added new commands `magit-patch-apply' and `magit-patch-apply-popup'. - The latter is available from inside `magit-am-popup' ("w"). #2940 - -* Added new command `magit-patch-save' for saving a diff into a patch - file. In diff buffers it is bound to "C-x C-w". #2950 - -* Added new command `magit-stash-branch-here', which — unlike the - existing `magit-stash-branch' — creates a branch that starts at - the current HEAD instead of at the commit that was current when - the stash was created. #2935 - -* Added new command `magit-dired-log' intended to be bound in - `dired-mode-map'. #3011 - -* The list of rebase actions displayed in the status buffer now also - shows "exec" actions. #3003 - -* While it exists, the stash created by `git rebase --autostash' is - now also displayed in the list of stashes. #3146 - -* When the current branch has no upstream or when all commits have - already been pushed there, then the status buffer now shows - `magit-log-section-commit-count' recent commits. If you previously - used `magit-insert-unpulled-from-upstream-or-recent', then remove - that from `magit-status-sections-hook', as it is an obsolete alias - for `magit-insert-unpulled-from-upstream' now. #3227 - -* When switching between showing "Unmerged into <upstream>" and - "Recent commits", preserve the visibility of that section. #3227 - -* When prompting for a branch to delete, the current branch is no - longer offered as default choice, except in cases where it is likely - that that is actually what the user wants. #2924 - -* Added new popup `magit-worktree-popup' and bound "%" to it. #2927 - -* The commands `magit-file-delete' and `magit-file-untrack' now act on - the selected files and with a prefix argument they force the action. - #2930 - -* When requesting the history of a single file that is no longer being - tracked, use the `--full-history' argument. Otherwise no history at - all would be shown. #3012 - -* Added new option `magit-patch-save-arguments'. #3218 - -* Leading tabs in files no longer cause misalignment in diffs. This - is done by overriding the mechanism used by the display engine to - determine how wide a tab should be, which doesn't work when there - are additional characters before the "leading" tabs that should - count as an additional, but very short tab-stop. #3185 - -* The command `magit-visit-ref' now drops the prefix argument before - calling `magit-show-commit' when appropriate, and when using the - `create-branch' variant and the branch exists, then it offers to - simply checking it out instead of resetting it first. #3009 - -* The output of `magit-list-repositories' is now sorted by module path - instead of module name. b6f6cf4a6 - -* For a long time Magit has supported selecting two or more sibling - sections using the region and then acting on that selection instead - of only on the current section. Single-section selections were not - supported and a region that did not span multiple siblings was not - visualized as a selection. Now that is supported. - - Not every section-aware command was adjusted to take single-section - selections into account because in many cases that would have led to - undesired changes in behavior. #3026 - -* The command `magit-branch-spinoff' now spins off just HEAD when that - constitutes the single-section selection. Previously one could only - spin off all commits that weren't in the upstream yet or at least - two commits. #2920 - -* Added switch `--local-user' to the tag popup. #3237 - -* When discarding untracked files, then offer to delete the buffers - visiting them. #3243 - -* When there is a valid selection based on the region, then the region - itself was never visualized. Now it is, but only if it stays within - a single line. #3249 - -* Added new command `magit-branch-checkout' and bound "l" in the - branch popup to it. This command always checks out a local branch. - Valid inputs are an existing local branch, a remote branch for which - no corresponding local branch exists, and a new branch name that - doesn't match the name of any existing local or remote branch. #2906 - -* The command `magit-show-commit' now offers the revision at point as - the default completion choice if the less generic mechanisms used to - determine the "current" revision fail. This is useful for visiting - revisions mentioned in commit messages. #2949 - -* Hashes inside commit messages are now turned into `commit' sections. - Note that this can be disabled and that even if you do so you can - still visit the commit at point using "RET". #2949 - -* The documentation regarding completion, confirmation, the selection, - and the hunk-internal region was significantly extended. It might - be worth reading that. - -* Added new option `magit-dwim-selection', which allows configuring - commands that would otherwise ask the user to select among possible - candidates to use the default instead, with or without confirmation. - #3232 - -* When there is a stash at point, then the commands `magit-stash-drop' - and `magit-stash-pop' now ask for confirmation. The former command - previously allowed users to select another stash instead and the - latter used to act on the stash at point without giving the user a - chance to abort. These changes are implemented using the new option - `magit-dwim-selection' and can easily be reverted. #2916 - -* Aborting a commit is seen as an error by Git and like all such - errors it was reported to users, which led to confusion and a few - bug reports. Now that non-error is being suppressed. #2932 - -* The option `magit-ref-namespaces' was demoted to a variable and its - format changed. #2923 - -* Some refs that are being displayed in logs are now being compressed - to save space while providing more information. #2923 - -* Added new option `magit-submodule-fetch-jobs'. By default multiple - modules are being fetched in parallel now. #3261 - -* The command `magit-show-commit' now also shows notes specified using - `notes.displayRef', not just those specified using `core.notesRef'. - #2857 - -* The package `magit-popup' is maintained in its own repository now. - 4d5d9bfac - -* The popup `magit-notes-popup' now shows the values of the relevant - variables and allows changing them. #2857 - -* The cherry-picking commands now try to use or not use the - `--mainline' argument as appropriate instead of erroring out. #2980 - -* Added `magit' as an alias for `magit-status' because I have been - told that that improves discoverability. This might or might not - make it easier for users to get started with Magit without taking - a brief glimpse at the documentation. #3290 - -* The command `magit-log-buffer-file' now also works in Dired buffers. - -* The commands `magit-stage-untracked' has been taught about the Borg - package manager. When staging a package repository it now offers to - also assimilate (aka install) that package. dc857e2ed - -* Added new command `magit-browse-pull-request', which reads an open - pull request and then visits it in a browser. For now this only - supports Github, but other Git forges will be supported in the - future. #3134 - -* Added new commands `magit-checkout-pull-request' and - `magit-branch-pull-request' to the branch popup. For now they only - support Github, but other Git forges will be supported in the future. - #3134 - -* The command `magit-branch-delete' now offers to also delete the - corresponding remote after deleting a local branch that was created - with `magit-branch-pull-request' or `magit-checkout-pull-request', - provided that remote has no other tracking branches. #3134 - -* When it is not possible to blame in reverse, then the blame popup - does not offer that command anymore. c6ef61b2e - -* The mode line process indicator, displayed in the mode line when Git - is run for side-effects, is now more visible than before, and is - additionally used to highlight process errors. - - New face `magit-mode-line-process' is applied to the mode line - process indicator to improve the visibility of pending asynchronous - processes (in particular), as Magit remains responsive after - initiating such commands (for instance fetching or rebasing), but - will not update its buffers until the process has completed, which - might take longer than anticipated. Customize this face if you wish - to make this indicator more (or less) visible. #3284 - - If the Git process returns an error, the mode line process indicator - is no longer removed, and new face `magit-mode-line-process-error` - is applied to highlight the error status. Details of the error from - the process buffer are also provided as a tool-tip. The error - indicator will remain visible in the mode line until a magit buffer - is refreshed. If you do not want errors to be indicated in the mode - line, customize the `magit-process-display-mode-line-error' user - option. #3297 - -* When staging and unstaging at the file level and there are arguments - that cause whitespace differences to be hidden, then apply the - visible changes using `git-apply' instead of using `git-add' and - `git-rm' because doing that would also un-/stage the invisible - changes. #3102 - -* Added new command `magit-diff-visit-file-other-window'. It isn't - bound by default because that would result in changes to existing - key bindings, which is something that is frowned upon. To use this - command add something like this to your init file. #2833 - - (define-key magit-file-section-map (kbd "SPC") - 'magit-diff-visit-file-other-window) - (define-key magit-hunk-section-map (kbd "SPC") - 'magit-diff-visit-file-other-window) - -* The widths of tabs in diffs can now be adjusted to match the widths - that would be used in the corresponding file-visiting buffers. This - is disabled by default because it can be expensive to determine the - appropriate values (and also unnecessary when using spaces for - indentation). Use the new option `magit-diff-adjust-tab-width' to - control if and when the tab widths should be adjusted. #2929 - -* Added documentation about how to contribute to the documentation. - -* In the references buffer the remote part of the branch names are now - hidden in the remote specific lists of branches by default, which is - done to preserves space. The option `magit-refs-show-remote-prefix' - can be used to revert this change. - -* The mode `git-commit-mode' now offers three font-lock levels, - including one that is fruitier than the previous font-lock level. - Local and remote branches are shown using different colors now. - 7a50bfdb0 ff - -* When a signed tag points at the shown revision, then the revision - buffer now also contains information about the tag signature. #3015 - -* The commands `magit-remote-remove' and `magit-branch-delete' now - unset the relevant push-remote related variables, which Git fails to - do, unlike for other variable affected by the removal of a remote or - branch. Likewise the command `magit-remote-rename' now renames such - variables. #2850 - -* Depending on the value of the new `magit-branch-rename-push-target' - option the command `magit-branch-rename' may now also preserve the - local branch's push-remote or even rename the push branch on the - remote. The default is to do both. #2850 - -* Added argument `--subject-prefix' to the patch popup. 24ce90832 - -* The section visibility is now being cached for all sections. - Previously this was only done for some sections. When a section - disappeared and later appeared again, then it went back to its - initial visibility. The option `magit-section-cache-visibility' can - be used to restrict the cache to certain sections again. #2780 - -* The section visibility cache can now also remember that a section - should be expanded instead of being hidden when the latter is the - default and the section reappears. Previously only the opposite - was possible. #2780 - -* For `magit-status-mode' and `magit-refs-mode' buffers the visibility - cache now persists when killing the buffer. #2780 - -* Added command `magit-remote-prune-refspec', which is necessary - because Git does not ignore invalid refspecs and instead refuses - to fetch using only the refspecs that are still valid. #3134 - -* Sections are now defined as classes instead of as structs. This - is only a first step towards taking advantage of generic methods. - A few subclasses are already being defined and dedicated slot - accessors have been deprecated in favor of `oref'. 651a9abcc ff - -* When asking the user whether to save modified file-visiting buffers - during a refresh, then also allow them to remember the choice for - the current session. I still think it is better to just always save - by setting the option `magit-save-repository-buffers' to `dontask'. - #3344 - -* The terminology about modules as used by Git is ambiguous. Magit - now avoids the term "initialized" and instead uses the term - "populated" to refer to a module whose working directory exists. - The names of commands have been adjusted accordingly. For example, - unlike "git submodule init", which does *not* actually "initialize" - a module, `magit-submodule-popuplate' does "populate" a module - (using "git submodule update --init"). #2911 - -* Most module commands now default to act on the selected modules or - if no modules are selected the current module, if any. Otherwise - they fall back to read a single module from the user. Previously - some of these commands acted on all modules and it was not possible - to perform the respective actions on a subset of modules. Acting - on all suitable modules is still possible using a prefix argument. - #2911 - -* Many arguments have been added to the module popup. #2911 - -* Added new option `magit-refs-filter-alist', which allows omitting - some references from being displayed in `magit-refs-mode' buffers. - -* Added new command `magit-merge-squash'. #3348 - -* Several new libraries were created from code previously in magit.el. - 0d6389680 - -* Added new commands `magit-merge-absorb' and `magit-merge-into', - which not only merge a local branch into another but also remove - the merged branch. #2922. - -* Added new commands `magit-cherry-harvest', `magit-cherry-donate', - `magit-cherry-spinout' and `magit-cherry-spinoff', which move - commits from one branch to another and also remove them from the - branch where they were previously located. #2921 - -* Added new command `magit-diff-unmerged' and taught `magit-diff-dwim' - about unmerged changes too. #3382 - -* The command `magit-push-refspecs' got its own history variable. - #3361 - -* By default the names of Magit buffers now either have a star at both - ends, or at neither when using the `uniquify' package. 831372a4f - -* Added new commands `magit-branch-shelve' and - `magit-branch-unshelve'. Use them to replace a branch with a less - visible ref while preserving the ref log. This is useful for work - that you probably but not certainly will end up discarding. You - might want to add these commands to the branch popup. 568b11f64 - -* The look of `magit-refs-mode' buffers was changed to save horizontal - space and three new options `magit-refs-primary-column-width', - `magit-refs-focus-column-width' and `magit-refs-pad-commit-counts' - were added. #3378 - -* When the dispatch popup is invoked in non-Magit buffers, then certain - actions that cannot be used there are no longer shown. 83cc91a30 - -* When the dispatch popup is invoked in a file-visiting buffer, then - it now also lists the actions from the file popup. 40361273a - -* Added new variable `magit-log-format-message-function'. #3384 - -* Added commands `magit-commit-reshelve' and `magit-reshelve-since', - replacing and improving upon commands from the `magit-rockstar' - package, which was deprecated. The former changes the dates of HEAD - and the latter those of a range of commits leading up to HEAD. - -* Added argument `--reverse' to the log popup. When that argument is - used, then the incompatible `--graph' is silently dropped. 07e1d69d2 - -* Added new option `magit-log-header-line-function'. #3395 - -* Added new command `magit-remote-prune'. 6258dd92c - -* Added new hook `magit-unwind-refresh-hook', which is like the - existing `magit-post-refresh-hook' except that is runs even if an - error occurs during the refresh. 9f838cc04 - -Fixes since v2.11.0 -------------------- - -* `git-commit-propertize-diff' could end up making the buffer - read-only. 746f2361b - -bc1093846 magit-popup: locally set help-window-select when describing function -c9689c670 magit-popup: locally set another display-buffer variable - -* `git-rebase-mode-show-keybindings' failed to process non-English - usage instructions in interactive rebase buffers. #3175 - -* The refresh cache was not properly invalidated after creating a new - repository. 7a1f1eb44 - -* The `with-editor-mode' minor-mode was sometimes enabled twice in the - same buffer. 9be36868b - -* For bare repositories all files were shown as being deleted in some - contexts. b5f05c457 - -* When a command was invoked from a popup and it set `this-command', - then that was later overwritten. a74c9b9d4 - -* While setting `magit-credential-cache-daemon-socket's initial value - an error occurred when `credential.helper's value is the empty string. - 4b15d5825 - -* Fixup commands did not warn about merges in the rebase range until - after creating the fixup commit. #3176 - -* Instant fixup allowed selecting a commit that is not reachable from - HEAD, which, for the instant variants (but only those), clearly is - a user mistake that should be caught immediately. #3176 - -* If `magit-git-executable' is an absolute path, then an error - occurred in `magit-debug-git-executable'. 9b7e34c29 - -8ed2eb4f5 magit-branch-reset: use magit-local-branch-at-point - -* The previous window configuration was not restored by - `magit-log-select-pick' and `magit-log-select-quit'. #3211 - -* When `magit-branch-spinoff' failed to perform the checkout it - never-the-less attempted to perform the subsequent steps. #3210 - -* Jumping to the correct location in a man page failed for many - switches and options. deb482063 ff - -* The default action of `magit-branch-config-popup' was a command that - isn't even available in the popup. eaa836fe2 - -* The command `magit-branch-spinoff' didn't try to prevent the user - from entering a string containing whitespace as a branch name. - bd6055ab2 - -* The command `magit-commit' failed to commit everything after asking - for confirmation if it is called from a subdirectory. #3221 - -* The command `magit-completing-read' didn't offer any completion - candidates. 387257f20 - -* In some cases an error occurred when showing the remote popup because - the length of the remotes name was not taken into account. a9177e5b9 - -* The command `magit-branch-rename' failed to rename a local branch if - a tag existed with the same name. #3222 - -* The command `magit-file-delete' ignored the prefix argument instead - of forcing the action as intended. 0df686bfd - -* Fixed a broken highlighting special case. #3238 - -* When staging all unstaged changes using "s" on "Unstaged changes" - while there also are staged changes, then the user was not asked for - confirmation. #3238 - -* When reverting a commit users are required to edit the revert - message on some platforms but not on others. #3239 - -* In a secondary worktree `magit-git-dir' failed to return a remote - path when the repository is accessed using Tramp. #3228 - -* When the user chose the default offered by `magit-patch-apply', - then that function failed to expand the file-name so that Git would - understand it. ab00c5ba2 - -* The face `magit-graph' was also used for the commit message, which - only was noticeable when the face was customized. It appears that - nobody ever did that. 47e94767b - -* When `magit-branch-read-upstream-first' is nil, then the value - returned by `magit-branch-read-args' was broken. #3268 - -* Fixed encoding of non-ascii filename arguments to git on - `windows-nt' systems. #3250 - -* A bug in `magit-list-active-notes-refs' slowed down - `magit-show-commit'. #3275 - -* The command `magit-worktree-checkout' wasn't able to checkout - arbitrary commits, just refs. #3277 - -* Due to misunderstood `flyspell' implementation details - `git-commit-turn-on-flyspell' did some unnecessary work and made - claims that are not actually true. 24c966082 - -* When the git executable could not be found, then Magit often claimed - that the user was doing something outside of a Git repository - instead. #3310 - -* The command `magit-submodule-add' always used a kludge that is - only needed when using Ido, resulting in a unnecessary removal - of functionality. 5e43377d2 - -* The function `magit-maybe-save-repository-buffers' in some cases - needlessly redisplayed a message. #3319 - -* The branch description was displayed in weird ways in a few places. - d98c44bd7, 9003b85da - -* When stashing untracked files, then the untracked files in - subdirectories were not removed from the working tree. #3334 - -* The command `magit-worktree-delete' failed to delete a worktree when - its directory no longer existed. #3355 - -* A kludge used to work around a bug in Emacs 24 prevented - `magit-copy-buffer-revision' from deactivating the mark. #3352 - -* When visiting the last blob that still had the line at point in a diff, - then that only jumped to the correct line, but not the correct column. - ebe3b5229 - -* For unpopulated modules `magit-list-submodules' showed information - about the super-repository instead. Now such modules are omitted. - 1c4fa9b14 - -* The commands `magit-am-apply-patches' and `magit-am-apply-maildir' - did not work over Tramp because they passed Tramp file names directly - to git. This was fixed in a way that should prevent similar issues - elsewhere. #3368 - -* The function `magit-branch-commit-at-point' preferred tags over - branches, which is a strange default for most callers. f2b318856 - -* The arguments set in the popup were ignored when displaying tags - in refs buffers. ae007a757 - -* When `magit-diff-section-arguments' calls for it, then all - diff-related sections are supposed to be limited to a subdirectory, - but sections listing untracked and tracked files ignored it. #3376 - -* Saving wip refs often failed because `magit-update-ref' used the - refresh cache. e0e1a44f3 - -* Buffers listing repositories using `tabulated-list-mode' did not - preserve point when being refreshed. 2f0302635 - -This release also contains other minor improvements, bug fixes, typo -fixes, and documentation fixes. - -Authors -------- - - 500 Jonas Bernoulli - 26 Kyle Meyer - 15 Phil Sainty - 13 Alexander Gramiak - 13 Noam Postavsky - 7 Sean Allred - 4 Basil L.
