- Update to 4.14.0
- Usability, bells and whistles
* The clone dialog now defaults to cloning into the parent
directory by default. (#1402)
* The Reset actions now remember the last value used. (#1406)
* git dag --follow <filename> is now supported for viewing
the history of files that have been renamed. (#1328)
* HTTP proxies are now automatically configured on Gnome and
KDE Desktop Environments. (#1420) (#1431)
* The Git http.proxy configuration can now be edited on
the settings page. (#1420)
* The NO_COLOR environment variable is now set to 1 when running
the git commit, git fetch, git push and git pull commands.
This is done to disable ANSI color output in third-party tools
that can be integrated into these commands via git hooks.
TERM is also set to dumb for tools that do not honor this
variable. (#1426)
* The commit message editor now has a “Set Commit Date” option
that allows you to override the recorded date and time when
authoring commits. (#1429)
* The DAG’
(#1432)
* The “Copy Commit” Alt + Ctrl + C action was added to the main
menu. (#1430)
* The DAG and main interfaces have been streamlined to reduce
visual clutter.
* The DAG viewer now displays staged and modified changes
alongside other commits. (#1428) (#1439)
* The commit message’
the size of the configured font. (#1301) (#1435)
* Git Cola refreshes Git’
startup by default. This can now be disabled by configuring
cola.updateindex to false. (#1438)
* The “Set Upstream Branch” menu in the “Branches” tool can grow
too large to fit on screen when repositories contain many
remote branches. A new dialog with autocomplete and scrollable
entry fields was added for selecting a new upstream branch.
(#1440)
* The DAG viewer will now copy text into the your clipboard when
any of the commit ID, author, date or summary fields are
clicked in the commit diff view. (#1456)
* The DAG viewer now has an option to disable the display of
staged and modified changes.
* The commit message line length warning is no longer dependent
on the cursor position. The longest line in the commit message
is now used to enable the warning. (#1448)
* Most users will now default to editing the per-repo config by
default when opening the settings dialog. New users that do not
have the user.name and user.email settings configured will
default to editing the global user settings, which was
previously the default behavior for all users. (#1460)
* The rebase tool now honors the rebase.updateRefs git
configuration. The tool will only prompt you whether or not to
update stacked branches / refs when this configuration is
unset. (#1458)
* The rebase.updateRefs configuration can now be configured
through the “Update stacked branches/refs when rebasing”
checkbox in the settings.
* The branches tool would previously make its branches and tags
bold when text was input into its filter field. This behavior
has been changed so that the branches and tags are now filtered
so that only the matching branches and tags are displayed.
(#1457)
* The value of the Force checkbox, which causes git push --force
to be used in the Push tool, now persists across sessions.
(#1461)
* The push dialog will now prompt when creating new remote
branches when the local branch name does not match the new
remote branch name.
* The diff viewer now displays the number of removed (-) and
added (+) lines when the “Show filenames” tool menu option is
enabled. (#1471)
* The commit tool has a new “Set Commit Author” tool menu action
that temporarily switches between author identities independent
of your git config settings. The value specified in the dialog
is passed directly to git commit --author=.... (#1469)
* Widget layouts can now be saved and loaded to *.layout files.
Layouts are saved to ~/.config/git-cola/layouts by default and
can be saved and loaded using the View > Layouts menu actions.
(#1467)
* The status tool has been updated to launch editors with
multiple files when invoking its “Edit” action.
* The commit date tool now has a button to set the time and date
to the current time.
* The commit message editor now moves up and down visually when
word-wrapping is enabled. The cursor previously jumped to the
beginning and end of a word-wrapped line when Up and Down were
pressed.
- Fixes
* Qt6 support was improved for the right-click context menus.
(#1409) (#1410)
* The Ctrl+C “Copy Diff” hotkey was restored in the DAG diff
viewer. (#1412)
* The repository selection startup dialog was updated to work on
Qt6/PyQt6. (#1422)
* “Open Using Default Application” now handles paths inside
a subdirectory correctly. (#1419)
* Qt6 support was improved for the Recent and Favorites filters.
* A regression in the tab order when tabbing from the Summary
field into the Extended Description field has been fixed.
(#1436)
* The file system monitoring was made more resilient on Windows
when using WSL. (#1441)
* A regression in the rebase editor which prevented the display
of commits was fixed. (#1442)
* File system monitoring on Windows when using WSL was further
improved. (#1441)
* The DAG view now updates itself when merging branches using
the “Branches” tool. (#1454)
* Proxy autodetection on KDE was improved to correctly handle
the host and port output from kreadconfig*. (#1450) (#1451)
(#1452) (#1453)
* Various widgets were made more resilient to errors when
the Git worktree is externally deleted while Git Cola has it
open. (#1445)
* Cosmetic typos were fixed in the documentation, translations,
docstrings and command-line help messages. (#1446)
* The push dialog was fixed to use the correct refspec arguments
when pushing a local branch into a differently-named remote
branch. (#1462)
* The commit message length warning was not being updated in some
scenarios. (#1459)
* The “Ambiguous shortcut warning” that could be triggered in
rare scenarios when using the Amend hotkey has been eliminated.
* The “Set Upstream Branch” action in the Branches tool was fixed
so that it is robust to scenarios where the upstream branch is
renamed. (#1475)
* The “Prune Missing Entries” action in the startup dialog and
the Bookmarks and Recent tools now save the settings after
pruning. (#1479)
* The default history viewer on Windows, used by the “Visualize
Current Branch…” and “Visualize All Branches…” actions, was
updated to avoid issues when settings are edited. (#1496)
- Packaging and Dependencies
* The setup.cfg file has been removed and pyproject.toml has been
updated to handle all of the packaging configuration. pip will
no longer install data files such as share/applications,
share/metainfo, and the hotkey html files, so the garden.yaml
and Makefile commands have been updated to provide this
functionality instead. The html files installed in the
cola/data/ python package area are necessary for Git Cola’
hotkey window and should not be relocated.
* notify2 <https://pypi.org/project/notify2>
(sudo apt install python3-notify2) is now supported and
preferred over notify-py for sending desktop notifications.
This is an optional dependency that enables additional features
when installed. notify-py will continue to be used if only it
is installed, but only notify2 will be used when both are
available. Support for the current notifypy API will be kept
around for now but if a breaking change is ever introduced then
support for notify-py will be dropped in favor of supporting
notify2 exclusively.
* Improved support for PySide6. PySide2 has some breaking
divergences from PyQt6.
* The vendored qtpy library was updated to v2.4.2.
* The Windows installer now uses Python 3.12 and PyQt 6.9.
- Translations
* Updated Japanese translation. (#1411)
* Updated Chinese (Taiwan) translations. (#1424)
* Updated Japanese translation. (#1472)
* New Tamil translation. (#1478)
- Development
* The version number reported by git cola version and the “About”
dialog was made more accurate when Git Cola is run directly
from a Git worktree. (#1425)
