| 17 | 17 | - The commands ~magit-branch-pull-request~, ~magit-checkout-pull-request~ |
| 18 | 18 | and ~magit-worktree-checkout-pull-request~ were removed in favor of |
| 19 | improved implementations provided by the new Forge package. | |
| 19 | improved implementations provided by the new Forge package. (See | |
| 20 | https://emacsair.me/2018/12/19/forge-0.1 for more information about | |
| 21 | Forge.) | |
| 20 | 22 | |
| 21 | 23 | - ~C-c C-e~ is no longer bound to ~magit-dispatch-popup~. It is bound to |
| 22 | 24 | ~magit-edit-thing~ now, so that Forge can add section-specific |
| 38 | 40 | compatibility. Packages using the obsolete variable and functions |
| 39 | 41 | should be adjusted soon. #3836 |
| 40 | 42 | |
| 43 | - Magit-Section is now distributed as a separate package, as announced | |
| 44 | here: https://emacsair.me/2020/01/23/magit-section. #4003 | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | - Magit now adds three global key bindings, which can be prevented | |
| 47 | by setting the new option ~magit-define-global-key-bindings~ before | |
| 48 | loading ~magit~. Note that if you bind these keys to other commands | |
| 49 | anywhere in your init file (even *after* loading ~magit~), then Magit | |
| 50 | won't override those bindings. See the options doc-string for | |
| 51 | more information. #4237 | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | - Magit no longer depends on ~async-bytecomp~ to avoid a certain class | |
| 54 | of mystery bugs because this effort backfired. 86eec7ba3 | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | - ~global-git-commit-mode~ is no longer autoloaded. Users who commit | |
| 57 | from the command-line but still want to use ~git-commit-mode~, might | |
| 58 | now have to load ~git-commit~ explicitly in their init file. | |

| 41 | 61 | ** Changes since v2.90.0 |
| 42 | 62 | |
| 43 | 63 | - It isn't always obvious that a section can be expanded, especially |
| 156 | 176 | - ~magit-cherry~ is now available from the ~magit-dispatch~ prefix. |
| 157 | 177 | ef311f378 |
| 158 | 178 | |
| 159 | ~ ~magit-cherry-spinoff~ now offers the upstream as the default | |
| 179 | - ~magit-cherry-spinoff~ now offers the upstream as the default | |
| 160 | 180 | starting-point. e5a2a0ac2 |
| 161 | 181 | |
| 162 | 182 | - Added new command ~magit-branch-spinout~. #3794. |
| 181 | 201 | |
| 182 | 202 | - Added new option ~magit-worktree-read-directory-name-function~. #3820 |
| 183 | 203 | |
| 184 | - TODO Added basic support for libgit2. #3841 | |
| 204 | - Basic optional support for ~libgit2~ was added, but because so few | |
| 205 | functions are currently implemented using that library, opting in | |
| 206 | currently has almost no effect. #3841 | |
| 185 | 207 | |
| 186 | 208 | - ~git bisect~ is now run asynchronously. #3802 |
| 187 | 209 | |
| 341 | 363 | available from the diff transients by default. To enable it use |
| 342 | 364 | "C-x l" in those transients. #4056 |
| 343 | 365 | |
| 366 | - Added new command ~magit-reset-keep~. 0ea8b0ef6 | |
| 367 | ||
| 368 | - Added new option ~magit-reshelve-since-committer-only~. #4101 | |
| 369 | ||
| 370 | - Added new command ~magit-commit-absorb~ as an alternative to | |
| 371 | ~magit-commit-autofixup~. 9423edc0b | |
| 372 | ||
| 373 | - Added new option ~magit-status-use-buffer-arguments~. #4046 | |
| 374 | ||
| 375 | - Added new command ~magit-project-status~. #4173 | |
| 376 | ||
| 377 | - Added new variable ~magit-process-extreme-logging~ for debugging | |
| 378 | purposes. #4217 | |
| 379 | ||
| 380 | - Taught Isearch and Swiper how to expand Magit sections when the | |
| 381 | current match is inside a hidden section and how to close sections | |
| 382 | again. #3999 | |
| 383 | ||
| 384 | - Added new command ~magit-commit-absorb-modules~. 10b4bec53 | |
| 385 | ||
| 386 | - Added new transient command ~magit-shortlog~. #4262 | |
| 387 | ||
| 388 | - Added new command ~magit-generate-changelog~. c5e118111 | |
| 389 | ||
| 390 | - The name of the main branch is no longer hard-coded to "master". | |
| 391 | Now we use the value of ~init.defaultBranch~ if that is set and the | |
| 392 | named branch exists. If not, then some other names that are | |
| 393 | commonly used for the main branch are tried as a potential fallback. | |
| 394 | c4494ac0b | |
| 395 | ||
| 396 | - Added new option ~magit-diff-extra-stat-arguments~. 1bd4fe26e | |
| 397 | ||
| 398 | - Added support for ~git-credential-manager-core~. #4318 | |
| 399 | ||
| 400 | - The name of the upstream remote is no longer hard-code to "origin". | |
| 401 | See the doc-string of function ~magit-primary-remote~ to learn how to | |
| 402 | customize this. f883b62fe | |
| 403 | ||
| 404 | This release also contains numerous other improvements. | |
| 405 | ||
| 344 | 406 | ** Fixes since v2.90.0 |
| 345 | 407 | |
| 346 | 408 | - Bumped the minimal required version of ~git-commit~ to the correct |
| 482 | 544 | - Calling ~magit-status~ in a repository with a corrupt Git |
| 483 | 545 | configuration didn't propagate the error and instead preseted the |
| 484 | 546 | directory as though it was uninitialized. #4337 |
| 547 | ||
| 548 | - When the status buffer is not shown in any buffer but point is on | |
| 549 | a hunk, and editing and saving the respective file causes, that | |
| 550 | hunk to disappear or change, then Magit ended up changing point | |
| 551 | in the file-visiting buffer. #4196 | |
| 485 | 552 | |
| 486 | 553 | - Various bug fixes to |
| 487 | 554 | ~magit-branch-delete~ (3e73ff19d), |
| 514 | 581 | ~magit-stash-drop~ (a4972766a), |
| 515 | 582 | ~magit-ignore-submodules-p~ (a7699f868), |
| 516 | 583 | ~magit-log-propertize-keywords~ (ac1ee3df5), |
| 517 | ||
| 518 | This release also contains other minor improvements, bug fixes, typo | |
| 519 | fixes, and documentation fixes. | |
| 584 | and then I stopped adding to this list. | |
| 585 | ||
| 586 | This release also contains numerous other bug fixes, typo fixes, and | |
| 587 | documentation fixes. | |
