Release 1.7.3

This release adds some minor improvements, and fixes a lot of bugs. Most of
these has been in master branch since a long time.

New features

• Add option to auto-close magit buffer/window on clean state #132
• Jump to source is now line precise #152 #153
  Using the 'E' (for edit) mapping, cursor will now jump to the exact line
  instead of the beginning of the hunk.
• Smarter cursor position when staging/refreshing.
  When refreshing, the cirsor stays in the same position. When (un)staging,
  cursor move to the hunk close to the current one.
• Add vimagit support to vim-airline

Bug fixes

• Fix freeze while refresh fix #170 #36
• Fix character escape issues #156 #168
  These are two old issues, which have been reproduced thanks to the issue
  #168. Big up to @akrejczinger for the docker image.
• Discarding untracked file results in an error in some cases fix #165
• Ungraceful behaviour when opening magit outside of a git repo fix #162
• Freshly created repository fails to open in vimagit fix #169
• Handle commit set at the end of magit_default_sections #149

Release 1.7.2

This is a not so minor vimagit update at the end.

It adds a nice feature, setting the cursor position on magit buffer opening at a smart position: if you are editing a file, and your cursor is in the middle of a modification, magit will open with he cursor on this hunk.

User will also notice that standard mappings (L or E to cite a few) are no longer broken in commit mode. This may a be a first step to introduce default mappings without Shift (see #101)

It also fixes some minor bugs (meaning these bugs were not break anything).

I also want to advertise that the next major release of vimagit will see 3 new important features. Interested users are encouraged to discuss the best way to design these new features on gitter and on opened issues:

• git push: push from magit buffer with <CP>. magit will detect the default push branch; if there is not default, or if the user used another mapping, magit will provide a way to select remote branch to push #24
• git checkout: checkout a branch with <CH>. Like for push, a UI must be designed to select the branch, with completion of course #141
• git stash: stage what you want (files, hunks, lines, exactly the same way as for a commit), and stash them #142

New features

• Open magit buffer with a smart cursor position. When opening magit buffer, cursor is set to current file file hunk, if any #125
• Disable most of the mappings in commit mode (i.e. when user is editing). For example, user can now use 'L' or 'E' when editing its commit message #101 #106
• Magit now shows more information on top: it shows the current remote upstream branch and remote push branch. This is a first step to the git push feature!
• Add VimagitLeaveCommit User autocmd. WithVimagitEnterCommit and VimagitLeaveCommit, you can now set the textwidth when you are editing your commit message (see VimagitLeaveCommit section in vimagit help) #140
• You can now use Enter to fold/unfold a file #71

Bug fixes

• Fix 'quit' behavior to something consistent: if opened with Magit (i.e. splitting the window) 'q' close the magit buffer; if opened with MagitOnly (i.e. using the current buffer), 'q' switch to the previous buffer. If magit is the last opened window, and it does not have an alternate buffer, it quits vim #137
• Fix jump to "file already open" abort #128
• Fix warning when magit is closed with bdelete #130
• Fix .gitmessage template commit duplicate on refresh #135

Release 1.6.0

Release 1.6.0

New feature jump is really awesome, you must try it!

Features

• From a hunk in the magit buffer, press E and jump the corresponding file
  at the diff position. If this file is already opened in a window, cursor move
  to this window.
• Add events at key points in magit buffer. User can plug commands to these
  events. This new feature brings the two next features:
  • If vim-gitgutter is installed, auto update its signs when git status is
    updated.
  • You can find in help a tip to enter in commit mode in insert mode.
• User can set its own git exec binary with g:magit_git_cmd variable.

Fixes

• Commit message is preserved when the magit buffer is refreshed (fix #57)
• It is now possible to unstage by selection (fix #32)
• When opening a magit session, if a magit buffer for this git repository is
  already open, jump to this buffer.
• Inline help shows mapped key instead of default (fix #72)
• Fix peculiar folding behavior when magit buffer is refreshing.

Release 1.5.2

Release 1.5.2

Almost a major release, with some cool new feature. But the release 1.6 will be reaaally cool!

Features

• add command CU (commit undo) to close commit section (fix #55)
• add g:magit_discard_untracked_do_delete option (fix #66)
  when set, discard an untracked file will actually delete this file
• support 'typechanged' git status type

Fixes

• clear undo history after each update_buffer() call (refs #64)
  undo in magit buffer did the user believe that it may undoes some vimagit
  actions: it is not! magit buffer undo history is wiped at each refresh;
  which means undo still works while the user is typing its commit message
  for example.
• binary file detection is done with git diff (fix #60, #61)
  it fixes false positive binary file detection, binary file detection on
  Windows, and may eventually speed up the refresh process :)
• output an understandable message when user tries ot discard an untracked file (fix #58)
• remove unwanted --No lines in buffer-- in status line when opening magit buffer (fix #56)
• use 'diff -p' instead of 'diff --patch' (fix #52)
• better handling of some command line error code and improve some error messages
• set local foldnestmax (fix #62)

Release 1.5.1

Release 1.5.1

Fixes

• fix next/prev jump folding
• fix modified/untracked content in submodule (fix #49)

Release 1.5.0

Features

• vimagit is now able to handle multiple git repositories (fix #44,#34,#29).
• add mappings N and P to jump to next and previous hunk (fix #25).
• reorder magit display: display modified files first.
• disable inline help by default (fix #46). It is always possible to switch
  inline help display with 'h', or with g:magit_show_help
• rework magit buffer color syntax.
• display commit mode in Info section.
• rename magit buffer, now named after git repository path, e.g.
  magit:///path/to/git/repo/
• add MagitOnly command. It can be used to craft a bash alias like:
  alias magit='vim -c MagitOnly'

Fixes

• safe and smart handling of quit command (fix #41,#43).
• close vimagit window if there is another window.
• switch to alternate buffer if any.
• close vim if magit buffer the only buffer.
• disable ':w' mapping, which was not safe. This feature will be re inserted
  with a safer method later.

Release 1.4.2

Enhancements:

• smarter way to handle magit buffer:
  • improve some internal mechanisms, which should improve performances for huge repositories
  • by default, do not show untracked/deleted/added/renamed files diffs (ref #28)
  • see g:magit_default_show_all_files new behavior
• add g:magit_default_sections to let user choose which sections are displayed (fix #37)
  user can now choose which sections to display, and in which order

• remove warning when opening magit buffer
• check that magit buffer exists before removing it (refs #39)
