1 | Stacked Git 0.15 released |
| 2 | ------------------------- | |
| fd57f390 | 3 | |
| ec29b673 | 4 | StGit is a Python application providing functionality similar to Quilt |
| fd57f390 | 5 | (i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of Git. These |
| ec29b673 KW |
6 | operations are performed using Git commands, and the patches are |
| 7 | stored as Git commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGit | |
| 8 | patches into other repositories using standard Git functionality. | |

| 16 | The main changes since release 0.14.3 are | |
| fd57f390 | 17 | |

18 | - New core infrastructure for repository operations, including |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | + Infinite undo/redo operations and corresponding commands. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | + Automatic rollback of changes following a failed operation | |
| 23 | (using transactions)---this ensures that StGit commands either | |
| 24 | succeed or do nothing. Previously, every commands had its own | |
| 25 | ad hoc implementation of this. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | - Some commands were added, including | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | + "stg squash", for combining two or more patches into one. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | + "stg publish", for maintaining merge-friendly branches (which | |
| 32 | are not rebased). | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | - The commands "stg add", "stg rm", "stg cp", and "stg resolved" | |
| 35 | were removed, since there are corresponding Git equivalents | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | - New patch identification syntax: <branch>:<patch> (see | |
| 38 | documentation for the "stg id" command). | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | - A powerful Emacs mode for StGit was added to the "contrib" | |
| 41 | directory. It displays the patch stack in an Emacs buffer, and can | |
| 42 | handle all common StGit tasks. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | - Improved bash tab-completion, automatically generated from the stg | |
| 45 | command definitions. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | - Man pages and an improved tutorial. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | Special thanks go to Karl Wiberg for the hard work done on the new | |
| 50 | StGit features, to Catalin Marinas for many new features and bugfixes, | |
| 51 | and to David Kågedal and Gustav Hållberg for the Emacs mode. | |
