That wasn't done before + because that would have made it harder to change it and its users + within the magit repository in parallel. I expect there will be + few such changes in the future. + +* Added new library `magit-submodule.el'. It contains code that was + previously spread across various libraries. + +* Added new option `auto-revert-buffer-list-filter' and redefined + `auto-revert-buffers' from `autorevert.el' to use it. Added new + predicates `magit-auto-revert-buffer-p' and the more restrictive + `magit-auto-revert-repository-buffer-p', which are both intended + to be used as potential value of the option. + + For now the option defaults to `nil', but that might change in a + future release. When Magit explicitly calls `auto-revert-buffers' + (as opposed to when that is called due to a file notification event + or by a timer), and `auto-revert-buffer-list-filter' is `nil', then + it is let-bound to `magit-auto-revert-repository-buffer-p'. + + Users who use Tramp and experience delays, should consider setting + the option to `magit-auto-revert-repository-buffer-p'. + +* By default, invoking `magit-unstage' on a committed change now + performs an action which is somewhat similar to unstaging. The + change is reverted in the index, but not the working tree. This + allows extracting changes from HEAD. + + Setting the new option `magit-unstage-committed' to nil, disables + this behavior. Attempting to unstage a committed change would then + result in an error again. + +* Because file notifications may arrive with a delay, the option + `magit-auto-revert-immediately' now defaults to `t' even when file + notifications can be used, + +* Like `magit-refresh' already did, `magit-refresh-all' now runs the + hooks `magit-pre-refresh-hook' and `magit-post-refresh-hook'. + +* The heading of the section which lists commits that exist in the + current branch but not in its upstream was changed from "Unpushed + to <upstream>" to "Unmerged into <upstream>", because one usually + should merge into that branch instead of pushing to it. + +* Added new commands `magit-remote-set-head' and + `magit-remote-unset-head'. + +* By default `magit-clone' now deletes the symbolic-ref "origin/HEAD" + right after running `git clone', which insists on creating it. + + The new option `magit-clone-set-remote-head' can be set to `t' to + go back to keeping that symbolic-ref. We default to removing it, + because it does not actually get automatically updated when the + HEAD of the remote changes, which makes it rather pointless. + +* Added new option `magit-prefer-remote-upstream' which controls + whether commands which read the upstream or starting-point from + the user would rather offer a local or a remote branch as default + completion candidate. + +* Added the switch `--cover-letter' to `magit-patch-popup', and taught + `magit-format-patch' to immediately open the letter in a buffer. + +* Added new option `++order' to the various log popups. This option + and its value are converted to `--VALUE-order' before calling `git'. + This option was added instead of the switches `--author-date-order', + `--date-order', and `--topo-order' because adding all three would be + too noisy and because they are mutually exclusive. + +Fixes since v2.4.1 +------------------ + +* Creating a stash in a secondary working tree failed if no other + stash already existed in the repository. + +* Creating a Magit buffer failed if `uniquify-buffer-name-style's + value is `nil'. + +* Resetting a branch to an arbitrary commit caused its upstream + configuration to be mangled. + +* Resetting a branch to another branch caused the former to be + configured as the upstream of the latter. That behavior was + introduced by accident when the argument `--track' was replaced with + the variable `branch.autoSetupMerge' in the popup. Because it would + be undesirable to restore the `--track' argument in the popup, one + now has to use a prefix argument to set the upstream while resetting. + +* The manually set state of the margin in log and reflog buffers was + not preserved and instead reset to the default state when a command + was invoked which changes what log/reflog is being displayed. + +* Pressing RET on a variable in a popup caused an error. + +This release also contains the fixes described in the v2.4.1 release +notes, as well as various typofixes, documentation updates, code +clean-ups, bug fixes, and other small improvements. + +Authors +------- + + 62 Jonas Bernoulli + 9 Kyle Meyer + 4 Noam Postavsky + 3 Alex Dunn |
