Magit v3.4.0 Release Notes (unreleased)

Breaking changes

Changes since v3.3.0

• Added new function git-commit-turn-on-orglink intended for use in git-commit-setup-hook. d122f15edd
• git-commit.el no longer depends on dash. bb7b7a4020

7a94132384 Rename magit-keep-region-overlay to magit-section-keep-region-overlay

• Some repository and submodule list columns got a bit fancier. 3f3980735f 451438dc90
• Refreshing a repository or submodule list buffer now restores the previous position. 1feda0cb1c

ceab3124fb magit-submodule-list-predicate: New variable

• Added new face git-rebase-action to allow customization of the face used for the action words in git-rebase-todo files. #4544

6da7771b61 magit-faces: Add diff-refine-{added,removed}

• When invoked with a prefix argument magit-fetch-modules now acts as a transient prefix command. fd5b9eadf3
• Added new face magit-branch-warning and improved related faces. bf3bcbe051 ff

dfe3d03a14 git-commit-save-message: Report whether message was saved

• Added new commands git-commit-search-message-backward and git-commit-search-message-forward. #4537
• Make use of with-connection-local-variables, and for older Emacsen use a stripped down implementation. #4568
• Added new functions version> and version= using the names magit-version> and magit-version=. My brain is too small to always get yoda conditions right, while the Emacs maintainers have huge brains and as a consequence have rejected the addition of these functions on grounds of them being unnecessary. I don’t want to make such mistakes anymore, so I am forced to define these functions myself. I guess this makes me a Sith. c8c2efd014
• Added new command magit-log-related. c33ed664e6
• New transient magit-sparse-checkout provides an interface to the git sparse-checkout command, introduced in Git v2.25. #4102
• New command magit-clone-sparse makes it possible to clone a repository and then immediately enable a sparse checkout, avoiding a checkout of the full working tree. #4102
• The magit-clone transient now includes --filter (hidden by default) to support partial cloning, a feature that is available as of Git v2.17. #4102
• magit-clone-url-format can now be configured to an alist to support servers that employ different URL schemes. #4738
• Added new command magit-stash-push, which allows specifying a list of files to be stashed. #4583
• Added some forward compatibility for SHA-256. #4585

429d5c55e8 magit-tag-release: Use version from HEAD’s message if appropriate

• Added new face magit-section-child-count. #4599
• Improved version display and sorting in repository list buffers. 53199f2dd5, 68be0584f4
• Added support for marking repositories in repository list buffers and acting on the marked repositories. #4453
• Improved internals of the version/feature check caches. On the user visible side, teach magit-zap-caches to zap everything, when invoked with a prefix argument. #4603
• Rewrote Imenu support, which resulted in a few new features and much less code. 4727dcbe22 ff
• For performance reasons the “margin” style sadly had to be removed from magit-blame-styles. 608242086e
• When blaming, neighboring chunks about the same commit are now combined into just one chunk. #4030
• Added new command magit-git-mergetool. #4128
• Taught magit-diff-dwim about commits of submodules shown in the status buffer of the super-repository. #4151
• A cherry pick or revert can now be continued when there are unstaged changes as long as there are no unresolved conflicts, a behavior that more closely matches the command line behavior. #4615
• For the longest time (which is why I don’t consider this a bug fix) toggling a section caused point to move to the beginning of that section. Stop doing that unless absolutely necessary. 9d8d5e5603

70b34f08ab Increase use of section type, keymap and binding inheritance

• Sections can now be expanded and collapsed by double-clicking on the section heading or by clicking on the left margin. 949b4a47a4
• The menu-bar menu, which was severely neglected for many years, finally got a makeover. It no longer offers a completely random subset of Magit’s features. Now it can be used to invoke most of the commands that could also be invoked using magit-dispatch; but by means of a small furry animal. 5641d3749c
• Added many context menus, which can be invoked using the mouse or a key (menu by default) and are a great way to discover context sensitive commands. Unfortunately this isn’t enabled by default. In Emacs 28 and greater, the new global mode context-menu-mode has to be enabled. Set magit-section-show-context-menu-for-emacs<28 to t if you are still using an older release. #4645

0bbf31a2ef magit–git-variable:choices: Support fallback instead of default

• Depend on the Compat package, allowing me to use convenient features that were added to Emacs over the last few years, without having to wait another few years until everybody has updated to a reasonably recent Emacs release. 571b4346c1
• Added new option magit-openpgp-default-signing-key. 4eed9e1a45
• Added new command magit-toggle-git-debug. 2ed5a06d08
• Tag messages and signatures are now turned into sections in commit buffers. 476383fc8f
• Work has began on making internal circular dependencies a thing of the past.
• The help text displayed in git-rebase-mode buffers got a makeover. 670dad14b5 ff
• Added new command magit-ediff-resolve-all, an alternative to magit-ediff-resolve-rest (formerly known as magit-ediff-resolve). The new option magit-ediff-dwim-resolve-function controls which is used by magit-ediff-dwim (the new command magit-git-mergetool is another option). #4348
• Improve the diff shown while committing. #3246

[TODO Keep these at end.]

• Added new infix arguments and suffixes to the transient prefix commands magit-pull, magit-rebase and magit-dispatch. Likewise added new commands to keymaps magit-stashes-section-map. [TODO more]
