New
v0.54.0
Again we don't have any major new features this time (unless you count the support for alt-backspace for deleting words in the commit message editor, which is one of my favorite additions), but lots of smaller quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. The most notable one is probably the fix for the stale index.lock problem, which was a very long-standing bug that seemed to affect some users much more than others for some reason.
Breaking Changes
- The default sort order for local and remote branches has changed: it used to be 'recency' (based on reflog) for local branches, and 'alphabetical' for remote branches. Both of these have been changed to 'date' (which means committerdate). If you do liked the old defaults better, you can revert to them with the following config:
git:
localBranchSortOrder: recency
remoteBranchSortOrder: alphabetical
- The default selection mode in the staging and custom patch building views has been changed to hunk mode. This is the more useful mode in most cases, as it usually saves a lot of keystrokes. If you want to switch back to the old line mode default, you can do so by adding the following to your config:
gui:
useHunkModeInStagingView: false
