Git-cola

======

Usability, bells and whistles
-----------------------------
* "Stage Modified" was added to the available toolbar actions.
(`1371 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1371>`_)

* "Stage Untracked" no longer stages modified files when the list of
untracked files to stage is empty.
(`1371 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1371>`_)

* `Ctrl + Space` can now be used to display the autocomplete options in input fields
that provide autocompletion.

* The Diff widget now displays the currently selected filename.
Uncheck the "Show filenames" option in the Diff widget's tool menu
to disable this feature.
(`1367 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1367>`_)

* The "Fetch", "Push" and "Pull" dialogs now have an embedded progress bar instead
of displaying a progress bar in a separate popup window.

* The "Fetch", "Push" and "Pull" dialogs will now stay open after the remote
operation completes when the "Close on completion" checkbox is unchecked.
These dialogs closed themselves unconditionally before this change.

Fixes
-----
* PyQt6 compatibility for the "Find in diff" feature.

* PyQt6 compatibility for the ``git dag`` Gravatar icons.

Translations
------------
* Updated Polish translation.
(`1368 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1368>`_)

Packaging and Dependencies
--------------------------
* The vendored `qtpy` library was updated to `v2.4.1`.

* The documentation no longer depends on `jaraco.packaging`.

Development
-----------
* upload-artifact and setup-python github actions were upgraded.

======

Usability, bells and whistles
-----------------------------
* The remote messages dialog is now displayed for the Pull and Push actions in the
Branches widget only. This dialog is disabled by default and enabled in the
main Push and Pull dialog settings.
(`1363 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1363>`_)

* The whole-file staging actions in the Diff widget's right-click menu are now listed
after the selection and hunk staging actions. This helps prevent accidental clicks
from clobbering the index for the entire file.
(`1362 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1362>`_)

* The completion popup no longer reappears after an item is selected in the
"Checkout Branch" action and similar dialogs.
(`1360 <https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1360>`_)

Fixes
-----
* PyQt6 compatibility was improved.

======

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>`_)

======

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>`_)

======

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

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

======

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.
