4.4.0

======

Usability, bells and whistles
-----------------------------
* Git Cola now preserves ` commentary` in commit messages by default.
The `commit.cleanup` Git configuration variable can be used to
customize this behavior. For example, if you want Git Cola to
strip comments (the old behavior before v4.4.0) then
you can run `git config --global commit.cleanup strip` or configure
the "Commit Message Cleanup" setting in the Preferences window.
(`1330 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1330>`_)

* `git dag` now includes completions for `git log` options in the text input field.

* `git dag` now provides convenient search filters when right-clicking in the
text input field.

* A `1.25 x` Hi-DPI magnification option mode is now available in the Appearance settings.
(`1313 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1313>`_)

* MacOS-specific application themes are now available in the Appearance settings
when the pyobjc module is installed.
(`905 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/905>`_)

* Git Cola now runs `git commit` in the background and feedback is provided while
the commit is running. This prevents the UI from freezing when running pre-commit
hooks that can make `git commit` take a long time to run.
(`1320 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1320>`_)

* The Diff context menu was reworked to reduce visual clutter and better match
the Status context menu.
(`1347 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1347>`_)

* The standalone `git cola tag` tool now autocompletes the tag name field.
(`706 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/706>`_)
(`691 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/691>`_)

* The "Branches" dock widget now has a "Visualize" right-click menu option.
(`1061 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1061>`_)

* The "Stash" dialog learned to rename stashes.
(`558 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/558>`_)

* The "Fetch", "Push" and "Pull" dialogs can now display remote messages from the server.
(`951 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/951>`_)

Fixes
-----
* `git dag` fixed how it was handling refspec arguments.
(`1334 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1334>`_)

* `git dag` will now properly refresh itself when remote branches are updated.
(`1063 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1063>`_)

* The `cola.inotify` feature no longer runs into issues when accessing WSL2
filesystems from Windows 11+.
(`1194 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1194>`_)

Development
-----------
* `cercis <https://pypi.org/project/cercis/>`_ is now being used to enforce
Git Cola's python code style. We were previously disabling quote normalization
when using `black`. Use of `cercis` allows us to enable quote normalization
under its default single-quote settings.

* The test suite now works on Windows.
(`1331 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1331>`_)
(`1332 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1332>`_)

* Pre-commits hooks and code modernization.
(`1333 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1333>`_)

* Compatibility with Sphinx 7.2.0 was added to the `sphinxtogithub`
sphinx documentation plugin.
(`1336 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1336>`_)

4.3.2

======

Usability, bells and whistles
-----------------------------
* The minimum font size can now be set lower, which is helpful for Hi-DPI displays.
(`1342 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1342>`_)

Fixes
-----
* Flashing windows during startup on Windows has been fixed.
(`1329 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1329>`_)

* `git dag` was not displaying history when refspecs were specified.
(`1334 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1334>`_)

Development
-----------
* Compatibility with Sphinx 7.2.0 was added to the `sphinxtogithub`
sphinx documentation plugin.
(`1336 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1336>`_)

4.3.1

======

Fixes
-----
* The pypi wheel was fixed to include `entry_points.txt`.

* The "Revert" command was throwing an exception after successfully completing.

4.3.0

======

Usability, bells and whistles
-----------------------------
* `git dag` now displays commit metadata more similarly to `git log`.
The commit date is now displayed and the subject field is displayed
directly above the extended description.

* `git dag` now supports a `cola.logdate` configuration for controlling
the date format. The configured value is passed to `git log --date=<format>`.
(`1319 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1319>`_)
(`1312 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1312>`_)

* The default `patches` directory that is used when exporting patches
is now configurable using the `cola.patchesdirectory` configuration
variable and the Preferences dialog.

* The Diff Editor can now export the diff selection, or the current
diff hunk, to a `*.patch` file from the `Patches` context menu action.

* Existing patches can be appended to by choosing a patch file from
the `Append Patch` sub-menu in the `Patches` context menu action.

* Patches can now be applied by dragging and dropping patches files from
a file browser onto the diff editor. The "Apply Patches" dialog is
launched with the drag-and-dropped patch files.

* Shell completions for zsh are now provided in the source distribution.
See the `contrib/_git-cola` zsh completion file for more details

Fixes
-----
* ``QApplication::desktop()`` is no longer available on PyQt6.
Git Cola no longer relies on this method.

Packaging
---------
* Git Cola can now be installed on Windows using `winget`.
See the ``README.md`` file for more details.
(`1318 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1318>`_)

4.2.1

======

Fixes
-----
* Diffs for repositories with a single commit have been fixed.
(`1306 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1306>`_)

* The toolbars follow the Qt toolbar style, as they did prior to `v4.2.0`.
(`1307 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1307>`_)

* The "Checkout Branch" dialog was fixed to display all completions when first shown.
(`1308 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1308>`_)

4.2.0

======

Usability, bells and whistles
-----------------------------
* The Diff Editor can now send diffs to your favorite editor before the diffs are applied.
The right-click "Edit Diff ..." menu actions and the `Ctrl + Shift + S` /
`Ctrl + Shift + U` hotkeys send the current diff hunk, or the selected diff, to your
editor before they are applied to the worktree / staging area.
(`1290 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1290>`_)
(`794 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/794>`_)

* The Diff Editor and DAG viewer can now search within their diffs using
`Ctrl + F` and `Ctrl + G` hotkeys.
(`1116 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1116>`_)

* A new *Diff Mode* can be used to diff and unstage edits relative to any commit.
(`816 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/816>`_)

* The Commit Message Editor can now spell-check the summary field. Previously only the
"Extended Description..." field supported spell checking.
(`633 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/633>`_)
(`1070 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1070>`_)

* Repositories in your "Recents" and "Favorites" can now be searched using the new
"Search" tool button. Quickly switch between these repositories using the `Alt + P`
hotkey and "Quick Open..." File menu action.
(`1282 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1282>`_)

* "Favorites", "Recents" and the startup dialog now display a case-insensitively
sorted list of repositories.
(`1047 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1047>`_)

* The startup dialog now has a right-click context menu that allows you to prune
stale entries and other actions that were not previously accessible from
the startup dialog.
(`1199 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1199>`_)
(`1280 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1280>`_)

* The "Copy Leading Paths" action in the Status tool's right-click "Copy" sub-menu
can now strip off an arbitrary number of leading paths.
(`784 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/784>`_)

* The "Cherry-Pick" action now reports errors when "git cherry-pick" fails.
A new "Abort Cherry-Pick" action has been added for aborting a failed cherry-pick.
(`1062 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1062>`_)

* The diff text can now be quickly zoomed using `Ctrl + Mouse wheel` scroll.
This will quickly change the text size within the current session only.
(`1029 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1029>`_)

* The Console and Diff widgets learned to open URLs. Right-click on a line
that contains http URLs and context-menu actions for opening each URL
using your default web browser will be displayed.
(`1139 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1139>`_)

* Drag-and-drop has been improved when dragging filenames from the Status tool.
Dragging multiple files requires special handling to improve usability.
Some terminals (such as `kitty`) consume multiple file URLs by separating paths with
newlines. This is useful when you'd like to capture raw filenames but is less
convenient when dropping filenames onto a command-line. Drag with the `Alt`-modifier
held down to drag-and-drop filenames for command-line use. Using the `Alt` modifier
omits URLs so that the drag-and-drop payload includes only space-delimited,
shell-quoted paths.
(`719 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/719>`_)

* The DAG viewer now displays the diff between the start and end commits when
multiple commits are selected. The diffs are displayed in the DAG's diff viewer.
(`552 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/552>`_)

* The DAG viewer learned to checkout branches and initiate rebases from its right-click menu.
(`1113 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1113>`_)

* The DAG diff viewer learned to word-wrap the diff text.
(`1242 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1242>`_)

* The spelling dictionaries are now discovered dynamically at runtime.
`dict/words` and `dict/propernames` are now discovered via `$XDG_DATA_DIRS`
by the spell checker. This allows a spelling dictionary to be placed in e.g..
`~/.local/share/dict/words` to override the default `/usr/share/dict/words`.
(`873 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/873>`_)

* The File menu now has a "Patches" sub-menu with a full set of "git am" Patch actions.

* The Diff Editor and various Diff widgets now have a "Copy Diff" action with an
`Alt + Shift + C` hotkey that copies the selected diff text to the clipboard with the
`+`, `-` and `<Space>` diff prefix characters removed.
(`1288 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1288>`_)

* The "Revert" action for reverting commits from the DAG tool now displays error
messages when ``git revert`` fails.
(`885 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/885>`_)

* The Diff Editor now uses an easier-to-see *block cursor* by default.
Disable `cola.blockcursor <https://git-cola.readthedocs.io/en/latest/git-cola.html#cola-blockcursor>`_
to continue using original *line cursor* by running
``git config --global cola.blockcursor false``, or by editing the settings in the menu.

* The "Unmerged" header item in the Status tool now displays a summary list of unmerged files.

* The hotkeys documentation has been updated to clarify that the "Copy Commit ID"
action is available in several tools.
(`779 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/779>`_)

* Saving files when using "Browse Other Branch" now displays errors from
``git show`` when saving files from arbitrary commits.
(`1065 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1065>`_)

* The Apply Patches dialog now reports errors when patches fail to apply.
(`673 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/673>`_)

* The "Status" tool now disables "Copy" actions in its context menu when no
files have been selected.
(`697 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/697>`_)

* The "Unstage" menu item in the Status tool now uses a "Remove" icon.
(`1289 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1289>`_)

Development
-----------
* The vendored `qtpy` module was modified to sever its dependency on the
`packaging.version` module. This mostly affects users that want to run
Git Cola directly from the source tree outside of any virtualenv.
(`1286 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1286>`_)
