Release notes from gitui

v0.26.3

2024-06-02T13:26:39Z

Breaking Changes

Theme file format

note: this actually applied to the previous release already: 0.26.2

Ratatui (upstream terminal rendering crate) changed its serialization format for Colors. So the theme files have to be adjusted.

selection_fg: Some(White) -> selection_fg: Some("White")

but this also allows us now to define colors in the common hex format:

selection_fg: Some(Rgb(0,255,0)) -> selection_fg: Some("#00ff00")

Checkout THEMES.md for more info.

Added

due to github runner changes, the regular mac build is now arm64, so we added support for intel x86 apple build in nightlies and releases (via separat artifact)
support BUILD_GIT_COMMIT_ID enabling builds from git archive generated source tarballs or other outside a git repo [@alerque] (#2187)

Fixes

update yanked dependency to libc to fix building with --locked.
document breaking change in theme file format.

** multiline text editor **

** syntax highlighting in blame **

Breaking Changes

commit key binding

The Commit message popup now supports multiline editing! Inserting a newline defaults to enter. This comes with a new default to confirm the commit message (ctrl+d).
Both commands can be overwritten via newline and commit in the key bindings. see KEY_CONFIG on how.
These defaults require some adoption from existing users but feel more natural to new users.

key binding bitflags

Modfiers like SHIFT or CONTROL are no longer configured via magic bitflags but via strings thanks to changes in the bitflags crate we depend on. Please see KEY_CONFIG.md or vim_style_key_config.ron for more info and examples.

Added

support for new-line in text-input (e.g. commit message editor) [@pm100] (#1662).
add syntax highlighting for blame view [@tdtrung17693] (#745)
allow aborting pending commit log search [@StemCll] (#1860)
theme.ron now supports customizing line break symbol (#1894)
add confirmation for dialog for undo commit [@TeFiLeDo] (#1912)
support prepare-commit-msg hook (#1873)
new style block_title_focused to allow customizing title text of focused frame/block (#2052).
allow fetch command in both tabs of branchlist popup (#2067)
check branch name validity while typing [@sainad2222] (#2062)

Changed

do not allow tagging when tag.gpgsign enabled until gpg-signing is supported [@TeFiLeDo] (#1915)

Fixes

stash window empty after file history popup closes (#1986)
allow push to empty remote (#1919)
better diagnostics for theme file loading (#2007)
fix ordering of commits in diff view [@Joshix-1](#1747)
