- Update to 3.7
- Usability, bells and whistles
* The `git-xbase` rebase editor now includes a file list for filtering
  the changes displayed in the diff view.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1051
* The fallback `ssh-askpass` script, which provides the Username/Password
  login dialog when performing remote operations, previously presented both
  the username and password input fields with `***` asterisks.
  The dialog now uses asterisks for the password field only.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1026
* Stashes can now be applied using the `Ctrl + Enter` hotkey, popped with the
  `Ctrl + Backspace` hotkey, and dropped with the `Ctrl + Shift + Backspace`
  hotkey when inside the stash dialog.  This enables a keyboard-centric
  mouse-free workflow when using the stash dialog.
* When amending a commit, `git cola` will check whether the commit has been
  published to a remote branch using `git branch -r --contains HEAD`.
  This command can be slow when operating on a repository with many
  remote branches.  The new `cola.checkpublishedcommits` configuration
  variable allows you to opt-out of this check, which improves performance
  when amending a commit.  The settings widget exposes this variable as,
  "Check Published Commits when Amending".

* Updated Polish translation.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1033
- Fixes
* `git-dag.appdata.xml` was updated to allow network access for author icons.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1050
* The inotify filesystem monitor now handles
  `OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files` errors by disabling inotify.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1015
* Typos in various documentation files have been fixed.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1025
* The "Recent Repositories" limit was off by one, and now correctly
  remembers the configured number of repositories in the menu.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1024
* The "revert" action in the DAG and other tools now uses
  `git revert --no-edit`, which avoids launching an editor
  when reverting the commit.  Use `Ctrl+m` in the commit message
  editor after reverting a commit to rewrite its commit message.

- Update to 3.6
- Usability, bells and whistles
* The remote editor is much faster since it no longer queries
  remotes, and uses the cached information instead.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/986
* Commit message templates can now be loaded automatically by setting
  ``git config cola.autoloadcommittemplate true``.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1013
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/735
* The UI layout can now be reset back to its initial state by selecting
  the "Reset Layout" action.  This reverts the layout to the same state
  as when the app first launched.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1008
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/994
* Files can now be ignored in either the project's `.gitignore`, or in the
  repository's private local `.git/info/exclude` ignore file.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1006
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/1000
* New remotes are now selected when they are added in the "Edit Remotes" tool.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1002
* The "Recent" repositories list is now saved to disk when opening a
  repository.  Previously, this list was only updated when exiting the app.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1001
* The bookmarks tool now has a "Delete" option in its right-click menu.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/999

- Fixes
* Better support for Python 3.8's line buffering modes.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1014
* The default `ssh-askpass` script now uses a more generic `#!` shebang line.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/1012
* Fetch, push, and pull operations will now refresh the model and display when
  operations complete.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/996

- Update to 3.5
- Usability, bells and whistles
* Auto-completion for filenames can now be disabled.  This speeds up
  revision completion when working in large repositories with many files.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/981
* The Stash dialog now shows the stash date as a tooltip when hovering
  over a stashed change.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/982>
* Qt HiDPI settings are overriden by the `git cola` HiDPI appearance settings.
  These overrides can now be disabled by selecting the "Disable" mode.
  This allows users to control Qt's HiDPI settings through environment
  variables.  Additionally, the "Auto" mode now detects the presence of
  the Qt HiDPI variables and no longer overrides them when the user has
  configured their environment explicitly.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/963
* Confirmation dialogs can now focus buttons using the Tab key.
  Previously, the "Y" and "N" keys could be used to confirm or deny
  using the keyboard, but "Tab" is more familiar.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/965
* Error dialogs (for example, when a commit hook fails) will now always
  show the details.  The details were previously hidden behind a toggle.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/968
- Translations
* Updated Japanese translation.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/973
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/974
* Updated Simplified Chinese translation.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/950

* The filesystem monitor no longer logs that it has been enabled after the
  inotify watch limit is reached on Linux.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/984
* Better unicode robustness.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/990
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/991
* The "Branches" widget did not always update itself when deleting branches
  (for example, when inotify is disabled or unavailable).
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/978
* Non-ascii unicode byte strings are more robustly handled by the log widget.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/977
* Non-unicode results from the `gettext` library are more robustly handled.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/969
* Launching `git cola` from within a directory that has since been deleted
  would previously result in a traceback, and is now robustly handled.

- Update to 3.4
- Usability, bells and whistles
* The file browser now includes "Blame" in its context menu.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/953
* The "Push" action now uses "git push --force-with-lease" when using
  the "Force" option with Git v1.8.5 and newer.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/946
* Updated German translation.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/936
* The `Status` widget learned to optionally display file counts in its
  category headers, and indent the files displayed in each category.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/931
* The `Branches` widget can now sort branches by their most recent commit.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/930
* `git cola` now includes configurable GUI themes that can be used to style
  the user interface.  Enable the new themes by configuring `cola.theme`
  in the preferences window.  See the
  `cola.theme documentation https://git-cola.readthedocs.io/en/latest/git-cola.html#cola-theme
  for more details.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/924
* `git cola` now has built-in support for HiDPI displays by enabling
  Qt's 5.6's `QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR` feature.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/938
* `git cola` now uses HiDPI pixmaps when rendering icons, and the builtin
  icons have been updated to look sharp when displayed in HiDPI.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/932
- Fixes
* `git cola`'s "Revert Unstaged Edits" previously checked out from "HEAD^",
  when in "Amend" mode, and removing staged changes.  This behavior has been
  changed to always checkout from the index, which avoids data loss.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/947
* `git cola` has been updated to work with newer versions of `gnome-terminal`
  and no longer shell-quotes its arguments when launching `gnome-terminal`.
  The `cola.terminalshellquote` configuration variable can be set to `true` to
  get the old behavior, or to handle other terminals that take the command to run
  as a single string instead of as arguments to `execv()`.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/935
* `git dag` now properly handles arbitrary input on Python3.
  Previously, an exception would be raised when entering `--grep=xxx` where
  `xxx` is a quoted string with a missing end-quote.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/941
- Development
* The contribution guidelines for contributors has been updated to mention
  how to regenerate the `*.mo` message files.

Fri Feb  8 08:23:41 UTC 2019 - Marcin Bajor <marcin.bajor@gmail.com>

- Update to 3.3
- Usability, bells and whistles
* git dag improved how it renders parent commits. (#921)
* The Branches widget now checks out branches when double-clicked. (#920)
* The new Submodules widget makes it easy to interact with submodules.
  Additionally, submodules can now be updated using the Status widget. (#916)
* Updated Japanese translation. (#914)
* The “Open Terminal” action now launches a Git Bash shell on Windows. (#913)
* New menu actions for updating all submodules. (#911)
* The status widget can now update submodules. (#911)
* The “Apply Patch” git cola am dialog now includes a diff viewer to display
  the contents of the selected patch.
* The “Alt+D” diffstat hotkey now selects the staged/modified/etc. header in
  the Status widget, which shows the totality of everything that will be committed. (#771)
* Running “Launch Editor” from the diff editor now opens the editor at the current line. (#898)
* The textwidth and tabwidth configuration values can now be set per-repository,
  rather than globally only.
* Text entry widgets switched to using a block cursor in v3.2.
  This has been reverted to the original line cursor for consistency with other
  applications and user expectations. (#889)
* The “edit at line” feature, used by the “Grep” tool, now supports the Sublime text editor. (#894)
- Fixes
* Launching external programs has been improved on Windows. (#925)
* Improve compatibility when using PySide2. (#912)
* The Diff Editor was not honoring the configured tab width on startup. (#900)

  Word-wrap the list of files so that the display stays within a sensible size. (#895)
* Spelling and grammar fixes. (#915) (#891)
- Development
* The logo was run through tidy to give it a consistent style.
  Some technical issues with the logo were improved. (#877)
* The entire codebase is now checked by flake8, rather than just the module and test directories.
  This catches things like the pynsist installer scripts. (#884) (#882) (#879)
- Packaging
* The vendored qtpy library was updated to v1.6.
* The Windows installer’s wrapper scripts were missing an import. (#878)

* The `git cola dag` DAG window now supports `git revert`.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/843
* `git stash pop` is now supported by the stash dialog.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/844
* The status widget now ensures that each item is visible when selection
  changes.  Previously, if you scrolled to the right to see the name of
  a long filename, and then selected a short filename above it, the widget
  may not have shown the short filename in the viewport.  We now ensure
  that the filenames are visible when the selection changes.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/828
* The `git xbase` rebase editor no longer displays an error when
  cancelling an interactive rebase.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/814
* The dialog shown when renaming remotes has been simplified.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/840
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/838

* Update Spanish translation
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/862
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/867
- Packaging
* The original `#!/usr/bin/env python` shebang lines can now be
  retained by passing `USE_ENV_PYTHON=1` to `make` when installing.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/850
* The Makefile is now resilient to DESTDIR and prefix containing whitespace.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/858
* The vendored `qtpy` library was updated to `v1.4.2`.
* `python3-distutils` is needed to build cola on Debian.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/837
- Fixes
* The "C" key no longer closes the message dialogs, for example the
  one that is shown when a commit fails its pre-commit hooks.
  This allows "Ctrl+C" copy to work, rather than closing the dialog.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/734
* Dock widgets sizes are now properly saved and restored when the main
  window is maximized.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/848
* The spellcheck feature was broken under Python3.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/857
* A regression when saving stashes was fixed.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/847
* Diffing image files was not updating the available context menus,
  which prevented the "Stage" action from being present in the menu.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/841
* `git cola` now detects when `git lfs uninstall` has been run.  This allows
  you to re-initialize "Git LFS" in an existing repository where it had been
  previously uninstalled.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/842
* Custom color values that did not contain any hexadecimal digits in the
  `a-f` range were being converted into integers by the config reader.  This
  then caused the configured colors to be ignored.
  These color values are now interpreted correctly.  Additionally, color
  values can now use an optional HTML-like `#` prefix.

Example `.gitconfig` snippet::

[cola "color"]
        text = "#0a0303"

https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/836
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/849
* We now display an error message graphically when `Git` is not installed.
  Previously, the message went to stderr only.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/830
* Changing diff options was causing resulting in an exception.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/833
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/834
* The DAG window now updates itself when branches and tags are created.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/814
* The user's `$PATH` environment variable can now contain utf-8
  encoded paths.  Previously, launching external commands could
  lead to tracebacks.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/807
* Git Cola development sandboxes can now be stored on utf-8 encoded
  filesystem paths.  Previously, the interactive rebase feature
  could be broken when running in that environment.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/825
* The log window now uses an ISO-8601 timestamp, which
  avoids localized output in the log window.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/817
- Development
* The code base has been thoroughly sanitized using `pylint`, and
  travis is now running pylint over the entire project.
* Miscellaneous improvements and code improvements.

Sun Apr 29 18:54:31 UTC 2018 - marcin.bajor@gmail.com

- Update to 3.1
- Usability, bells and whistles
* The “Browser” widget learned to rename files using “git mv”.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/239
* The “Diff” widget learned to diff images. Side-by-side and pixel diff modes allow you to inspect changes to common images formats.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/444
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/803
* Git LFS and Git Annex are natively supported by the image diff viewer.
* Git Annex operations are now included. git annex init can be performed on repositories, and git annex add can be run on untracked files from the status widget. Install git-annex to activate this feature.
* Git LFS operations are now included. git lfs install can be performed on repositories, and git lfs track can be run on untracked files from the status widget. Install git-lfs to activate this feature.
* The “Stash” tool learned to stash staged changes only. Select the “Stage Index” option and only staged changes will be stashed away.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/413
* The “Stash” tool learned to use vim-like navigation keyboard shortcuts, shows error messages when things go wrong, and now saves the “Stash Index” and “Keep Index” options across sessions.
* The Edit menu’s “Copy” and “Select All” actions now forward to either the diff, status, recent, or favorites widgets, based on which widget has focus.
* The “File” and “Edit” menu can now be activated using Alt-{f,e} hotkeys.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/759
* It was easy to accidentally trigger the first action in the Status tool’s context menu when using a quick right-click to bring up the menu. A short sub-second delay was added to ensure that the top-most action is not triggered unless enough time has passed. This prevents accidental activation of the first item (typically “Stage” or “Unstage”) without burdening common use cases.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/755
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/643

* The “Ctrl+S” hotkey now works for the header items in the Status tool. Selected the “Modified” header item and activating the “Stage” hotkey, for example, will stage all modified files. This works for the “Staged”, “Modified”, and “Untracked” headers. This is not enabled for the “Unmerged” header by design.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/772
* The list of “Recent” repositories previously capped the number of repositories shown to 8 repositories. This can be set to a higher value by setting the cola.maxrecent configuration variable.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/752
* The “Create Branch” dialog now prevents invalid branch names.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/765
* Updated Turkish translation.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/756
* Updated Ukrainian translation.

* Updated Czech translation
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/792
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/806
* The window title can be configured to not display the absolute path of the repository.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/775
* The “Edit Remotes” editor learned to edit remote URLS.
* Bare repositories can now be created by selecting the “New Bare Repository…” action from the File menu.
* The “Branches” widget learned to configure upstream branches.
* A new git cola clone sub-command was added for cloning repositories.
- Packaging
* The vendored qtpy library was updated to v1.3.1.
* The macOS installation was made simpler for better compatibility with Homebrew.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/636
* The Windows installer is now much simpler. Git Cola now bundles Python and PyQt5, so users need only install the “Git for Windows” and “Git Cola” installers to get things working.
- Fixes
* Uninitialized difftool errors will now be displayed graphically. They were previously going to the shell.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/457
* Translations marked “fuzzy” will no longer be used when translating strings.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/782
* Deleted unmerged files will now correctly use a deleted icon.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/479
* The Ctrl+C “Copy” hotkey on the diff viewer has been fixed.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/767
* The “Create Tag” dialog did not correctly handle the case when a signed tag is requested, but no message is provided, and the user chooses to create an unannotated tag instead. This convenience fallback will now properly create an unsigned, unannotated tag.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/696
* .gitconfig and .git/config values editable by the Preferences dialog (aka git cola config) will now get unset when set to an empty value. For example, setting a different user.email in the current repository, followed by a subsequent emptying of that field, would previously result in an empty string getting stored in the config. This has been fixed so that the value will now get unset in the config instead.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/406
* Spelling and typofixes.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/748
* core.commentChar is now honored when set in the local repository .git/config.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/766
* The log window was using a format string that did not display correctly in all locales. A locale-aware format is now used.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/800
* The dialog displayed when prompting for a reference could sometimes lose focus.

https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/707
* The Branches pane now has a filter field that highlights branches whose names match the string entered into its text field.
* https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/713
* Actions that are triggered in response to button presses were being triggered when the button was pressed, rather than when it was released, which was a usability flaw. All buttons now respond when clicked rather than when pressed.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/715
* The DAG window will now only refresh when object IDs change. Previously, the DAG would redraw itself in response to inotify events, such as filesystem operations, which was disruptive when inspecting a large diff in its diff viewer. The DAG will now only redraw when the object IDs corresponding to its query input changes. Furthermore, when redrawing, the scrollbar positions are retained to minimize disruption to the viewport contents.

https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/741
- Fixes
* git dag now prevents nodes from overlapping in more situations.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/689
* Adding untracked Git submodule repo directories previously ran git add submodule/ but we now call git add submodule without the trailing slash (/) to avoid staging files that belong to the submodule (which is possibly a git bug). By working around the buggy behavior we allow users to recover by issuing the appropriate git submodule add command to properly register the submodule.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/681
* We now avoid git for-each-ref --sort=version:refname on versions of git older than v2.7.0. Previously we only avoided it for versions older than v2.0.0, which was a mistake.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/686
* The error message displayed when git is not installed has been fixed.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/686

* The new Branches widget makes it easier to checkout, merge, push, and pull branches from a single interface.
git cola now includes a dark icon theme. The dark icon theme can be activated either by setting the GIT_COLA_ICON_THEME environment variable to dark, by configuring cola.icontheme to dark, or by specifying –icon-theme=dark on the command line.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/638
* Autocompletion was added to the Fetch, Push, and Pull dialogs.
* The commit message editor now remembers the “Spellcheck” setting after exiting.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/645

* The File Browser tool was made much faster and can now operate on much larger repositories.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/499
* A new “turbo” mode was added that allows you to opt-out of operations that can slow git cola on large repositories. The turbo mode is enabled by configuring git config cola.turbo true. Turbo mode disables the background loading of Git commit messages and other details in the File Browser widget.
* A new GitIgnore dialog allows adding custom gitignore patterns.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/653
* The spellchecker in git cola can now use an additional dictionary by configuring cola.dictionary to the path to a file containing a newline-separated list of words.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/663
* The stash, export patches, diff, and gitignore dialogs now remember their window sizes.
* A new git cola recent sub-command was added for finding recently edited files.
* The Fetch dialog now allows pruning remote branches.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/639
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/680
- Fixes
* git cola‘s spellchecker now supports the new dict-common filesystem layout, and prefers the /usr/share/dict/cracklib-small file over the /usr/share/dict/words provided on older distributions. This makes the spellchecker compatible with Arch, which does not provide a words symlink like Debian.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/663
* Properly handle the case where an existing file is untracked using the File Browser.
* Fix a quirk where the “Create Branch” dialog sometimes required clicking twice on the radio buttons.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/662
* Fixed a focus issue to ensure that “Push”, “Fetch”, and “Pull” can be executed with the press of a single enter key after being shown.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/661
* Committing is now allowed in when resolving a merge results in no changes. This state was previously prevented by the commit message editor, which prevented users from resolving merges that result in no changes.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/679
* The filesystem monitor would sometimes emit backtraces when directories are modified. This has been fixed.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1438522
* Absolute paths are now returned when querying for .git-relative paths from within a submodule, which uses .git-files. This fixes launching git cola from within a subdirectory of a submodule.

* New Polish translation thanks to Łukasz Wojniłowicz
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/598
* The Bypass Commit Hooks feature now disables itself automatically when a new commit is created. The new behavior turns the option into a single-use flag, which helps prevent users from accidentally leaving it active longer than intended.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/595

* The About page can now be accessed via git cola about.
* The “Fast-forward only” and “No fast-forward” options supported by git pull are now accessible via git cola pull.
* Doing a forced push no longer requires selecting the remote branch.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/618

- Update to 2.7
- Fixes
* When repositories stored in non-ASCII, UTF-8-encoded filesystem paths were operated upon with LC_ALL=C set in the environment, unicode errors would occur when using python2. git cola was made more robust and will now operate correctly within this environment.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/581
* Support for the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable was fixed.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/582
- Development
* The unittest.mock module is now used instead of the original mock module when running the git cola test suite using Python3.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/569
- Packaging
* git cola is now compatible with PyQt5, PyQt4, and Pyside. git cola previously supported PyQt4 only, but will now use whichever library is available. Users are not required to upgrade at this time, but PyQt5 support can be enabled anytime by making its python modules available.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/232
NOTE: We do not yet recommend using PyQt5 because there are known exit-on-segfault bugs in Qt5 that have not yet been addressed. git cola is sensitive to this bug and is known to crash on exit when using git dag or the interactive rebase feature on PyQt5.
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-52988
* PyQt4 is stable and there are no known issues when using it so we recommend using it until the Qt5 bugs have been resolved.
git cola now depends on QtPy and includes a bundled copy of the qtpy library. If you are packaging git cola and would prefer to use qtpy from your distribution instead of the built-in version then use make NO_VENDOR_LIBS=1 when building git cola. This will prevent vendored libraries from being installed.

* git dag now uses consistent edge colors across updates.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/512
* git cola‘s Bookmarks widget can now be used to set a “Default Repository”. Under the hood, we set the cola.defaultrepo configuration variable. The default repository is used whenever git cola is launched outside of a Git repostiory. When unset, or when set to a bogus value, git cola will prompt for a repository, as it previously did.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/513
* git cola‘s Russian and Spanish translations were improved thanks to Vaiz and Zeioth.

* git dag now allows selecting non-contiguous ranges in the log widget.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/468
* Any font can now be chosen for the diff editor, not just monospace fonts.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/525
- Fixes
* xfce4-terminal and gnome-terminal are now supported when launching git mergetool to resolve merges. These terminals require that the command to execute is shell-quoted and passed as a single string argument to -e rather than as additional command line arguments.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/524
* Fixed a unicode problem when formatting the error message that is shown when gitk is not installed. We now handle unicode data in tracebacks generated by python itself.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/528
* The New repository feature was fixed.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/533

- Update to 2.4
- Usability, bells and whistles
* The user interface is now HiDPI-capable. git-cola now uses SVG icons, and its interface can be scaled by setting the GIT_COLA_SCALE environment variable.
git dag now supports the standard editor, difftool, and history hotkeys. It is now possible to invoke these actions from file widget’s context menu and through the standard hotkeys.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/473
- The Status tool also learned about the history hotkey. Additionally, the Alt-{j,k} aliases are also supported in the Status tool for consistency with the other tools where the non-Alt hotkeys are not available.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/488
*  The File Browser tool now has better default column sizes, and remembers its window size and placement.
* The File Browser now supports the refresh hotkey, and has better behavior when refreshing. The selection is now retained, and new and removed files are found when refreshing.
* A new git-cola-completion.bash completion script is provided in the contrib/ directory. It must be used alongside Git’s completion script. Source it from your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zshrc, etc) after sourcing the git-completion.bash script and you will have command-line completion support for the git cola and git dag sub-commands.
* The “checkout” dialog now offers completion for remote branches and other git refs. This makes it easier to checkout remote branches in a detached head state. Additionally, the checkout dialog also offers completion for remote branches that have not yet been checked out, which makes it easier to create a local tracking branch by just completing for that potential name.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/390
* The “create branch” and “create tag” dialogs now save and restore their window settings.
* The “status” widget can now be configured to use a bold font with a darker background for the header items.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/506

https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/501
* We now avoid long for better Python3 compatibility.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/502
* We now use Git’s default merge message when merging branches.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/508
* Miscellaneous fixes
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/485

https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/453
* The diff editor now supports the Ctrl+u hotkey for reverting diff hunks and selected lines.
* The core.commentChar Git configuration value is now honored. Commit messages and rebase instruction sheets will now use the configured character for comments. This allows having commit messages that start with # when core.commentChar is configured to its non-default value.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/446

It is only reset if the editor contains a message that was read from the file and has not been manually edited by the user.
* The commit message editor’s context menu now has a “Clear...” action for clearing the message across both the summary and description fields.
* Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) translation updates.
* The system theme’s icons are now used whereever possible.

* The stash viewer now uses git show --no-ext-diff to avoid running user-configured diff tools.
* git cola now uses the setsid() system call to ensure that the GIT_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS helper programs are used when pushing changes using git. The askpass helpers will now be used even when git cola is launched from a terminal.

The behavior without setsid() is that git cola can appear to hang while pushing changes. The hang happens when git prompts the user for a password using the terminal, but the user never sees the prompt. setsid() detaches the terminal, which ensures that the askpass helpers are used.

https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/377
* git dag‘s file list tool was updated to properly handle unicode paths.
* gnome-terminal is no longer used by default when cola.terminal is unset. It is broken, as was detailed in #456.

https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/456
* The interactive rebase feature was not always setting $GIT_EDITOR to the value of gui.editor, thus there could be instances where rebase will seem to not stop, or hang, when performing “reword” actions.

We now set the $GIT_EDITOR environment variable when performing the “Continue”, “Skip”, and “Edit Todo” rebase actions so that the correct editor is used during the rebase.

* Resurrected the “make dist” target, for those that prefer to create their own tarballs.
* Fixed the typo that broke the preferences dialog.
- Changes from 1.9.0
* We now ship a full-featured interactive git rebase editor. The rebase todo file is edited using the git xbase script which is provided at $prefix/share/git-cola/bin/git-xbase. This script can be used standalone by setting the $GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR before running git rebase –interactive.

- Usability, bells and whistles
* Brand new German translation thanks to Sven Claussner.
* The “File” menu now provides a “New Repository...” menu action.
* git dag now uses a dock-widget interface so that its widgets can be layed-out and arranged. Customizations are saved and restored the next time git dag is launched.
* git dag now has a “Zoom Best Fit” button next alongside the “Zoom In” and “Zoom Out” buttons.
* Ctrl+L now focuses the “Search” field in the git dag tool.
* Right-clicking in the “diff” viewer now updates the cursor position before performing actions, which makes it much easier to click around and selectively stage sections. Previously, the current cursor position was used which meant that it required two clicks (left-click to update the position followed by right-click to get the context menu) for the desired section to be used. This is now a single right-click operation.
* The Ctrl+D “Launch Diff Tool” action learned to automatically choose between git difftool and git mergetool. If the file is unmerged then we automatically launch git mergetool on the path, otherwise we use git difftool. We do this because git difftool is not intended to be used on unmerged paths. Automatically using git mergetool when appropriate is the most intuitive and muscle-memory-friendly thing to do.
* You can now right-click on folders in your standard file browser and choose “Open With -> Git Cola” (Linux-only).
- Fixes
* Python 2.6 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard does not provide a namedtuple at sys.version_info. We now avoid using that variable for better portability.
* We now read the user’s Git configuration from ~/.config/git/config if that file is available, otherwise we use the traditional ~/.gitconfig path, just like Git itself.
* Some edge cases were fixed when applying partial/selected diffs.
* The diff viewer is now properly cleared when refreshing. http://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/194

http://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/145
* A new git cola diff sub-command was added for diffing changed files.
- Fixes
* The inotify auto-refresh feature makes it difficult to select text in the “diff” editor when files are being continually modified by another process. The auto-refresh causes it to lose the currently selected text, which is not wanted. We now avoid this problem by saving and restoring the selection when refreshing the editor.
http://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/155
* More strings have been marked for l10n.
http://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/157

http://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/159
- Fixes
* Better error handling when cloning repositories.
We were not handling the case where a git URL has no basename, e.g. https://git.example.com/. git cola originally rejected these URLs instead of allowing users to clone them. It now allows these URLs when they point to valid git repositories.
Additionally, git cola learned to echo the errors reported by git clone when it fails.

* git cola learned to honor .gitattributes when showing and interactively applying diffs. This makes it possible to store files in git using a non-utf-8 encoding and git cola will properly accept them. This must be enabled by settings cola.fileattributes to true, as it incurs a small performance penalt

* A new “Open Parent Directory” action was added to the Status tool. It is activated using either Shift+Spacebar or through the context menu.
* git dag learned to honor the log.date git configuration variable. This makes the date display follow whatever format the user has configured.
* A new git cola config sub-command was added for quickly tweaking git cola‘s git configuration settings.
* Some small usability tweaks – some user confirmation prompts were defaulting to “Cancel” when they should have been defaulting to the affirmative option instead.
- Fixes
* Properly handle arbitrarily-named branches.
* We went back to launching git mergetool using an xterm. The reason is that there are a couple of places where git mergetool requires a terminal for user interaction not covered by –no-prompt.
* We now properly handle an edge case when applying short diffs at the start of a file
