SmartGit 24.1 Preview 4 (2024-04-16)
====================================

## New Features, Improvements

	- GitHub:
		- support OAuth-authentication for Git executable with multiple remotes
		- show warnings which GitHub reports about OAuth-inaccessible organizations
- Standard window:
	- Submodule toolbar button with popup for faster switching to submodule; removed previous Submodule category

## Fixed Bugs
- Clone: URL input field was not preselected if clipboard contained URL
- Directories view (Standard window, Log window): sorting was not case-insensitive as in other parts

## Other Noteworthy Changes

	- ability to repository copy URL
- File editor (git config files): optional auto-save
- Hosting providers:
	- hid simple providers by default; can be enabled with low-level property
	- hid "Use oauth-token for repository authentication (instead of password)" - use low-level properties `*.useTokenForRepositoryAuthentication` for not recommended password access
- Refresh:
	- performance improvements for index-only changes, e.g. after Stage
	- do not display index path for case-changed directories
- Standard window:
	- Commit view: during rebase show the rebased branch instead of "HEAD"
	- removed inline help controls
	- reduced space between toolbar buttons
- MacOS:
	- environment variable detection: invoke shell with interactive option (-i)

====================================

## New Features, Improvements
- Clone:
	- easier cloning from hosting providers
	- the hosting provider repositories are shown in a tree structure instead of a table

## Fixed Bugs
- Changes view, Compare, ...: several problems resolved for display of non-US-ASCII characters that are not supported by the selected font
- Hosting providers: for some configurations the Domain input field was missing
- Refresh (config): possible internal error if config file ends after subsection name [CgConfigState.parse Buffer.nextGetIndex BUE (2)]
- MacOS: on some systems the row height of tree and table controls was increased

## Other Noteworthy Changes
- Split Commit:
	- Continue: if all changes of the original commit were committed, allow to skip the confirmation dialog
- updated SWT
- Standard window:
	- Branches: improved anchor branch selection (source vs. target branch) for pull requests


SmartGit 24.1 Preview 2 (2024-03-11)
====================================

## Fixed Bugs
- Standard window:
	- Graph view: for multi-selection the commit popup was shown when clicking at ref
- MacOS:
	- Commit, Line Length Guides: if the message contained tab characters, the max-length-bars were drawn at wrong position
	- environment variable detection failed if `pwsh` was selected
- Windows:
	- Commit, Rewrap: wrapped incorrectly
- WSL: if appending Windows path was disabled, browser window could not be opened

## Other Noteworthy Changes
- Clone:
	- the local path is now split into parent directory and directory name making it easier to place repositories into one or more parent directories
	- even for the first repository a path is suggested
- i18n: updated Chinese translation
- Preferences, Hosting Providers, Add: use popup button to select the type of repository
- Repository Search:
	- if all repositories and groups were deleted before opening the Repository Search, it will group them by path like the repositories found during the Setup wizard
- Setup wizard: stream-lined
	- main window selector became first page
	- Git executable and SSH client are configured by default and can be changed in the preferences
- updated SWT
	- fixing drawing of non-US-ASCII characters in the Changes view and Compare
- Log and Working Tree windows:
	- Files: "Renamed Path" shows new (target) path for rename sources
- Standard window:
	- improved keyboard navigation, e.g.
		Window | Branches cycles through Ref selector of My History and All Branches + Tag;
		Window | Files cycles through Local Files and History Files



SmartGit 24.1 Preview 1 (2024-02-12)
====================================

## New Features, Improvements
- Syntax coloring:
	- support for Gettext .po files
- Log window, Standard window:
	- added the power-user feature "Rollback To" which allows to set the working tree or index to the one of the selected commit
	- Add Remote dialog: for GitHub forked repositories without an upstream remote, it will be suggested
- Standard window:
	- added Edit Ignore File to find a Git ignore file that ignores a certain file, or edit one of the Git ignore files

## Fixed Bugs
- Add Remote: dialog should forget failed previous remote if the repository was changed
- Add Submodule wizard: second page could become too wide
- File Tables (Std/Log/WT): when filtering for ignored files, matching files should be displayed
- Preferences:
	- Git executable page: Git version was not shown if this page was last used before closing the dialog
- Pull: inactive submodules must not be initialized
- Submodules: if "submodule.<name>.active" can't be parsed, it should be considered active (not inactive)
- Standard window:
	- Add Remote did not remember a failed url/name pair
	- Graph: context menu may become disabled in case of concurrent background refresh
	- Index Files: file sorting should not be influenced by Working tree state
- Linux: the temp directory was not reliably cleared on exit resulting on warnings on the next start
- MacOS:
	- File completion did not work at all (no event was sent for Ctrl+Space, using Alt+Space now)
	- preferences and other dialogs:
		- certain controls, especially labels, checkboxes, radio buttons, comboboxes were vertically misaligned

## Other Noteworthy Changes
- updated bundled Git to version 2.43.0
- Background Fetch: initialized submodules are fetched now even if deactivated
- Changes view:
	- Goto Prev/Next Change: won't move the caret into the opposite direction, e.g. if caret is before first/after last change in file
- Changes view, Compare, Conflict Solver, ...:
	- the focused selection color is now kept until a different text control is getting focused (before even showing a context menu or the Find file dialog caused the harder to see unfocused color to be used)
- JIRA resolve dialog: improved texts
- Push: for a forced push the confirmation branch shows the branch name
- Repository Search: starting a manual search aborts now the automatic one
- startup logging to console has been reduced
- Submodule | Deactivate: works now on multiple selected submodules
- Syntax coloring:
	- Markdown: several improvements and fixes for quotes, underscores and <links>
	- Verilog: several improvements and fixes for number literals without bit count, or with ?xz states, backtick constants, missing keywords, identifiers starting with underscores
- Standard window:
	- the Commit button is now disabled if there is definitely nothing to commit
	- Open in Browser (GitHub): when invoked on commit, open <project>/commit/<sha> instead of <project>/tree/<sha>
	- Ignore: should only be available for ignorable files
	- tabs:
		- the middle-mouse-click should trigger on non-dragged mouse-released
		- the left-mouse-click should only select if no modifier is pressed
		- the left-mouse-click with Shift held should close the tab (similar to middle-mouse-click)
- Working Tree window:
	- if a subdirectory inside an open repository is selected, the title will keep showing the repository
