- restored by adding `set commit-order = topo` to ~/.tigrc.
- - Support staging of single lines. Bound to '1' default. (GH #21)
- - Use +<lineno> to open the initial view at an arbitrary line. (GH #20)
- - Add show-notes ~/.tigrc option. Notes are displayed by default.
- - Support jumping to specific SHAs in the main view.
- - Decorate replaced commits.
- - Display line numbers in main view.
- - Colorize binary diff stats. (GH #17)
- - Custom colorization of lines matching a string prefix (GH #16).

- revision graph rendering by default.
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix ncurses 5.8 issue by passing non-zero column size to newwin().
- - Fix opening of diffs when browsing branches.
- tig-0.16.2
- ----------
- Bug fixes:

- but should in general improve handling of character lengths etc.
- Also, to properly handle UTF-8 environments use ncurses with wide
- character support.
- - The use of TIG_{MAIN,DIFF,LOG,TREE,BLOB}_CMD environment variables
- has been deprecated. To allow configuration of the diff view,
- TIG_DIFF_OPTS can be used.
- Improvements:
- - Plug several memory leaks.
- - Command line arguments are split into diff, revision, and file
- arguments and made available as %(diffargs), %(revargs), and
- %(fileargs). Diff view will limit diffs using %(fileargs).
- - Status view: update the file variable when a line is selected so
- %(file) works as expected.
- - Branch view: add %(branch) symbol providing access to the selected
- branch.
- - Branch view: add entry to browse all branches (uses git-log's --all
- flag).

- - Fix parsing of boolean show-date values.
- - Fix relative date.
- - Fix unbind to behave as if the keybinding was never defined.
- - Fix unbind to also cover built-in run requests.

- line info from the blame porcelain output added in git version 1.6.3.
- tig-0.15
- --------
- Incompatibilities:
- - Setting the cursor color no longer automatically sets the text to
- bold. The old 'lazy' behavior was a bug.
- - Remove check for git-repo-config, which was officially deprecated in
- git version 1.5.4. The configure script no longer depends on git
- being installed.
- Improvements:
- - Provide the manual as a man page named tigmanual(7).
- - Add ability to toggle between showing shorter dates (without time
- info) and relative dates. Use 'D' to toggle between date formats.

- view. Furthermore, honor the keymap when suggesting actions in the
- help messages.

- view. Bound to 'H' by default.
- - Tree view: show entry to parent directory ('..') when running from
- subdirectory.

- 'i' by default, with 'I' controlling whether or not to sort in

- 'horizontal-scroll' variable to a number or a percentage. Defaults to
- scrolling 50% of the view width.
- Bug fixes:
- - Status view: show error when failing to open a file.
- - Status view: report failures to update a file.
- - Blame view: fix problem with uninitialized variable.
