SVN: - by default HTTP spooling is used Fixed Bugs ---------- - Branches: - grouped feature branches were shown like local features (instead of gray) - Changes: - title and content were not updated at the same time - possible confusion if next file diff is already scheduled and Apply commands are invoked on current (obsolete) file content - Discard: could suggest to revert (modified) assume-unchanged files - GitHub: - do not offer to "Add GitHub Comment" on plain commit if commit comment refreshing is enabled (default for 20.2) - reject to fetch conflicting pull request (instead of creating an empt, dummy merge commit) - Journal: should not denote "pushed" commits, if there is no remote at all - Log: - Changes: don't show hand cursor if comment is not editable - Checkout dialog: misaligned labels (noticable on Linux) - Graph: - filter: - could be reset once graph was loaded - when switching between 2 open repositories the regular expression option was not properly adjusted - todo/done list numbering may be confused for old "merge" and "apply" rebase - drag and drop: could offer to cherry-pick commits even if only a ref was dragged (with log.dragAndDrop.draggingARefShouldAlsoDragCommit=false) - Rebase Interactive: cancelling the dialog might set selection to HEAD - when opening nested root of some repository, it was shown as submodule of the parent repository - Notifications: some repository-specific notifications were not closed once the repository is closed/switched - Refresh: - missing directory was not reported if obstructed by a staged file - possible inefficient refreshing for rebases with many TODO/DONE commits - SVN clone: did not properly configure core.ignoreCase on Windows (to prevent warning) -

Branches: - remote, tracked features show up under remote and not under "Features" to avoid duplicate entries - remote, tracked branches are always shown - more efficient processing in case of many tags - after checking out remote branch, tracking local branch becomes selected - added option to group refs either after first or last slash - more efficient detection of "closest tag" (for large repositories with many refs) - Log - drag and drop for Branches view and Graph view: - to update-ref or reset (dropping onto other refs or commits) - to cherry-pick, merge and rebase (dropping onto the HEAD ref) - Graph: - clustering of customizable build tags (View | Configure Build Tags) - other refs (currently shown in gray) are not shown unless selected in Branches view - cursor left/right can be used to collapse/expand non-first parent nodes - dragging refs: added low-level property log.dragAndDrop.draggingARefShouldAlsoDragCommit to only offer ref related operations - Filter: - resetting filter selects previously selected commit - added low-level property "log.graph.filter.persistFileNameOption" - File log: - shows warning banner in case of disjoint history (as such histories are usually unexpected) - if file was renamed in root commit, log is rerun with rename target - Files: - diff banner only shows up - if diff is not empty - when swapping commits is useful (= if neither commit is reachable from the other) - files can be dragged to other applications - Repositories: show current submodule commit/ref even if not opened - Output: shows finish time - Push: don't report unchanged refs (like "git push" without "--porcelain" also doesn't) - Refresh (Working Tree): warn if configured core.ignoreCase does not match file system - Submodule: - Add: now also the relative path can be specified, not just the name inside the selected directory Fixed Bugs ---------- - Log: - the selected refs in the Branches view and shown branches in the Graph could become out-of-sync - closed Changes view reopened if selection in the Files view changed - File log: disjoint histories might have erroneously shown up as connected - Branches: - Revealing Tracked did not work properly - Hamburger menu - toggling "Show remote branches in their Git-Flow sections" did not properly adjust category selection state (tri-state) - sorting with selected "Except for single refs" sorted single refs to the end instead of date/name - child options were not correctly enabled/disabled - Graph: - File log, filtering: doesn't use quick lookup of SHAs because it could report commits not belonging to file's history - Files: - order of diffed commits was not preserved after refresh - filter could have been preserved unexpectedly after SmartGit was forcefully killed - background fetch: stops in case of authentication failure to avoid becoming locked out by the server - Refresh - submodule conflict "deleted by us" reported contained directories as missing (because the submodule wasn't real) - after commands: did not work for UNC-paths - startup: --log, --blame, --investigate did not honor --anchor-commit when checking for the presence of the repository file - GUI: - directory input field: a relative path was absolutized relative to the SmartGit working directory (usually installation path) - docking: a long title (e.g. Changes view) must not cause a larger view size - XML syntax coloring: multiline parameter values were not detected correctly - macOS: - possible internal error opening a directory chooser - right-clicking a control delayed the focus-event and hence showed a wrong context menu - Pull dialog: after expanding the options, they showed up as disabled Other Noteworthy Changes ------------------------ - Changes view: - reduced git-filter invocations by 50% (important for LFS files) - expand Git-LFS files by default (= apply filters by default) - GitHub: - added low-level property "github.pullRequestCommentPageLimit" to limit amount of fetched pull request comments - Output view: ANSI sequences are ignored for better readability - Branches, Graph: unicode characters (head, at-head, signed, subtree) are drawn as graphic because some fonts had problems with them - SVN: shows more meaningful error message in case of network error - Window | New Window: does not automatically reopen closed repositories any more SmartGit 20.2 Preview 1 (2020-06-22) ==================================== New Features, Improvements -------------------------- - Create Branch, Start Feature: options for configuring default prefix in .git/config [smartgit "gui"] prefixAddBranch = myBranchPrefix prefixStartFeature = myFeaturePrefix - "Edit | Customize" (accelerators) was replaced by central customization of keyboard shortcuts in the preferences - External tools: use fresh environment variables (without any modifications of the SmartGit launcher) - GitHub: reworked authorization due to "Deprecating OAuth Authorization API" - Log: - Graph: - Filtering: - easier and more visible options, easier reset - faster for finding ID - improved layout performance - Files: - shows banner when performing a diff (2 selected commits) with option to swap both refs - for working tree and index tables, columns "Last Changed On" and "Size" were added - Changes view can auto-hide: - drag Changes view on top of the Graph view - selecting a file, the Changes view comes to front, unselecting the file, the Graph view comes to front - Refresh: improved performance - Search/Filter input fields: more visible RegEx option (some filter input field don't have it any more, because not needed) - Submodules: - Repositories: shows more human readable name for the Ref similar to how "git submodule" does - Subtree support: - "subtree merge" command - "subtree reset" command - "subtree split" command - Syntax coloring re-implemented based on ANTLR, because the previously used library was not supported any more - newly support "languages": ANTLR, bat/cmd files, CMake, InnoSetup, Kotlin, properties files, YAML - less popular were removed (but might be provided if there is demand and users provide test files) - macOS: use monospace-digit-font hint for system font, so e.g. date columns get aligned correctly - Windows: if Windows is configured to dark app theme, SmartGit's automatic theme will cause it to launch in dark theme, too Fixed Bugs ---------- - Commit message editor: caret was invisible if at line length guide position - GitHub: OAuth scopes were not properly set to access GitHub "workflows" - Log: - Changes: - possible out-of-memory error when accessing huge file - Comment display: foreground and background colors were not configurable in theme - LFS files were not deflated, despite of "smartgit.compare.applyGitFilters" being set - connector between both panes were not reliable cleared when unselecting file - Graph: - possible unnecessary crossings related to Low-Level Property "log.graph.preserveConnectorsUntilFork" - working tree node and history commands were disabled if head branch, but not "HEAD" was selected in Branches view - when opening the Log for a non-head branch focus is forced to the Graph after a while even if the filter input field already was focused - Move to Trash: improved performance for multiple files - Refresh: - possible false-positive "unchanged" state for files changed immediately after staging Other Noteworthy Changes ------------------------ - "Branch | Rebase | Abort" was removed because the more general "Branch | Abort" already covers it - Preferences, low-level properties page: initially shows only modified properties (for easier reset) - Windows: upgraded to Git 2.27
