It is being turned on in + both of these libraries because any one of them might be the first + package from the Magit repository that is being updated. + + It is possible to prevent the mode from being turned on when loading + these libraries by setting `async-bytecomp-allowed-packages' to nil + before loading them. If you do that, then you must mention that you + have done so when reporting a bug (which might therefore be due to + miscompiled files). + + Turning on `async-bytecomp-package-mode' advises `package--compile', + instructing it to compile Magit and its dependencies (as well as + others packages listed in `async-bytecomp-allowed-packages' and + their dependencies) in a separate Emacs instance. + + Unfortunately it is necessary that we do this because when an old + version of a package is already loaded when a new version is being + installed, then the old version sometimes interferes during + compilation of the new version, leading to miscompiled files. + + This usually does not happen very often, but when updating from + Magit v1 to v2 then it is expected, which is why users were + instructed to uninstall the old version before installing v2.1.0. + Unfortunately many users never saw those instructions, so we have + no choice but to use this approach to get rid of miscompiled files. + +* Two new commands have been added to the diff refresh popup that + allow the range of the previous diff to be manipulated. + `magit-diff-flip-revs' swaps the revisions of the range, and + `magit-diff-switch-range-type' toggles between ".." and "..." range + types. + +* The commands `magit-ediff-show-unstaged', `magit-ediff-show-staged', + `magit-ediff-show-commit', and `magit-ediff-show-working-tree' have + been added to the Ediff popup. + +* New option `magit-ediff-dwim-show-on-hunks' controls whether calling + `magit-ediff-dwim' runs a show variant (`magit-ediff-show-unstaged' + or `magit-ediff-show-staged') rather than `magit-ediff-stage' when + point is on an uncommitted hunk. + +* `magit-diff' and `magit-ediff-compare' no longer prompt the user for + confirmation when constructing a range from the last and first + commits selected by a region. A prefix argument can now be used to + specify that the diff is between the second revision and the common + ancestor of both revisions (i.e., the "..." range type is used). + +* `magit-ediff-*' variants now limit file choices to those that have + changed between the revisions of interest. If only one file has + changed, this file is used without prompting. + +* `magit-diff' and `magit-ediff-compare' now consider the location at + point when choosing the default for the prompt, and this default + value usually corresponds with the actions of their DWIM + counterparts. + +* The key in Ediff popup for `magit-ediff-compare' has changed from + "d" to "r" to be consistent with the key in the diff popup for the + similarly behaved `magit-diff`. + +* Entering a single commit for the range to `magit-ediff-compare' now + compares the commit with the working tree (like `magit-diff' and + `git diff') rather than the previous commit. + +* The popup `magit-diff-refresh-popup' and its suffix commands and + helper functions were fixed. Most importantly file arguments and + diff-type arguments are no longer lost when this popup is used - + it only changes those arguments it is supposed to change. Also + the popup only lists the arguments which can actually be used in + the current buffer (in status buffers fewer are supported than in + diff-only buffers). + +* The popup `magit-diff-popup' and its suffix commands now use the + arguments currently in the `magit-diff-mode' buffer of the current + repository. Previously the arguments were always reset to the + default value of `magit-diff-arguments'. + +* The default values of `magit-diff-section-arguments' and + `magit-diff-arguments' now contain the `--no-ext-diff' switch. + +* New popup `magit-log-refresh-popup' allows changing the log + arguments used in the current buffer. This allows changing the + arguments used in a log buffer without having to specify the + reference(s) again. And it makes it possible to change the log + arguments used in the status buffer, which previously required that + option `magit-log-section-arguments' was customized manually. + +* When a log is displayed for the purpose of having the user select + a commit, then this is now displayed in a buffer separate from the + regular log buffer. New option `magit-log-select-buffer-name-format' + controls the name of that buffer and new option + `magit-log-select-arguments' controls the arguments. + +* The default value of `magit-log-section-arguments' now contains the + `--decorate' switch. + +* `magit-log-buffer-file' respects the log arguments currently in + effect in the repositories log buffer, or if that doesn't exist the + default value of `magit-log-arguments'. Because this command is not + invoked from the log popup, it's now also possible to turn on the + `--follow' using a prefix argument. + +* Log graphs are no longer shown in color by default, because turning + the control sequences into faces is very inefficient. To allow + users to get back the colorful graphs, the `--color' switch has been + added to the log popup. + +* In the refs manager, `RET' on a local branch again "visits" that + branch by checking it out (like in v1.4). With a prefix argument it + instead "visits" the branch by showing information about other refs + relative to the visited one (like in v2.1 even without a prefix + argument). + + When the new option `magit-visit-ref-create' is non-nil, then a + remote branch is "visited" by creating a new local branch that + tracks that remote branch, and checking out that local branch. + +* To avoid losing any standard functionality, `C-w' and `M-w' now + fallback to `kill-ring-save' when the region is active. They also + work in more places and in some cases copy more useful information + than before. + +* New option `magit-push-always-verify' has been added because changes + in v2.1 caused many users to accidentally push to `master' instead + of a remote feature branch as intended. All users should set this + option to nil, but only after having read the documentation. The + commands that respect this option instruct users to consult its + documentation. + +* Moving through a log using `n' and `p' is now much faster because + the revision buffer is no longer recreated for each commit along the + way. Because Emacs does not support key-down-events this had to be + implemented using a timer, which has the unfortunate effect that it + leads to a delay even when only pressing one of these keys briefly + to move by a single line. This delay can be adjusted using the new + option `magit-diff-auto-show-delay'. + +* When creating a new branch, first reading the starting point and + only then the name of the new branch has advantages. But many users + disagree, so the option `magit-branch-read-upstream-first' has been + added. It defaults to t. + +* New commands `magit-wip-log' and `magit-wip-log-current' allow + showing log for a branch and its wip refs (which the various wip + modes commit to). + +* New command `magit-submodule-deinit'. + +* New command `magit-commit-augment' allows the user to pick a commit + to squash into and edit the squash commit message. + +* New push commands `magit-push-implicitly' and `magit-push-quickly'. + +* When reading user input, many commands now offer a better default + choice and better completion candidates. + +* All apply variants now use `--3way' when called with a prefix + argument. + +* Log commands now respect the entries in the .mailmap file. + +* The command `magit-pull-current' now also fetches tags by default. + +* When a file has conflicts then the type of conflict is shown now. + +* New option `magit-log-show-refname-after-summary'. + +* New section inserter `magit-insert-user-header'. + +* New face `magit-section-secondary-heading'. + +* New commands `magit-run-gitk-all' and `magit-run-gitk-branches'. + The existing command `magit-run-gitk' now always calls `gitk' + without any arguments. + +* New commands `magit-shell-command' and `magit-shell-command-topdir'. + +This release also contains various documentation fixes, code +clean-ups, bug fixes, and other small to medium improvements. + +Authors +------- + + 225 Jonas Bernoulli + 67 Kyle Meyer + 8 Noam Postavsky + 3 Mitchel Humpherys + 2 Greg Lucas + 2 Mark Karpov + 2 Yuichi Higashi + 1 Johann Klähn + 1 Josiah Schwab + 1 Kan-Ru Chen + 1 Nicklas Lindgren + 1 Phil Sainty + 1 Richard Kim + 1 Robin Green + 1 Rémi Vanicat + 1 Steven Vancoillie + 1 Thomas Frössman + 1 Ting-Yu Lin + 1 Vineet Naik |
