Accepting request 1325088 from devel:tools:scm

- update to 4.17.0:
  * Custom "Prepare Commit Message" hooks, typically installed by
    providing a script at .git/hooks/cola-prepare-commit-msg, can
    now be used on Windows. (#1523)
  * The File Browser tool will now retain its column widths when
    files are added, removed or modified.
  * Bold fonts can now be enabled throughout the entire interface
    by setting the "Bold all fonts" option in the "Appearance"
    settings. This setting corresponds to the cola.boldfonts git
    configuration variable.
  * Git Cola can now read hunspell spelling dictionaries. For
    example, you can install the Spanish hunspell dictionary
    using sudo apt install hunspell-es and then edit the
    Additional spellcheck dictionary files value in the
    Preferences to enable the dictionary.
  * The amount of time to wait when coalescing filesystem change
    notifications is now configurable through the Filesystem
    Monitoring Event Delay value in the Preferences. This setting
    corresponds to the cola.inotifydelay configuration value.
  * ksshaskpass and the gnome-ssh-askpass programs are now
    detected and used by default when prompting for credentials.
    Usage of the GIT_ASKPASS environment variable was documented.
  * The commit message is now properly cleared when aborting
    merges.
  * The keyboard shortcuts panel now displays macOS hotkeys
    correctly.
  * The Git DAG performance was improved when viewing large
    repositories.
  * Multiple instances of Git Cola and Git DAG can now be
    prevented from running in the same repository using the -S |

+    stashes using Ctrl + s.
+  * git dag now displays the date for WORKTREE and STAGED entries
+    using the same format as configured in the cola.logdate

+    implemented.
+  * The scrollbar handles colors have been adjusted to be more

+  * Git Cola now has a non-interactive Sync action that directly
+    pulls changes from the configured tracking branch using git
+    pull.
+  * Git Cola now has a non-interactive Sync Out action that
+    directly pushes changes to the configured tracking branch

+- 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’s automatic column resizing behavior has been improved.
+    (#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’s Summary field now resizes itself to match
+    the size of the configured font. (#1301) (#1435)
+  * Git Cola refreshes Git’s “index” (.git/index) automatically on
+    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’s ?
+    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)
