   1                       Stacked Git 0.15 released
   2                       -------------------------
   3
   4 StGit is a Python application providing functionality similar to Quilt
   5 (i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of Git. These
   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
  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       + "stg prev/next" for printing the name of the previous or next
  35         patch in the series.
  36
  37   - The commands "stg add", "stg rm", "stg cp", and "stg resolved"
  38     were removed, since there are corresponding Git equivalents
  39
  40   - The "stg import" command supports the "-p N" option for stripping
  41     leading slashes from diff paths
  42
  43   - New patch identification syntax: <branch>:<patch> (see
  44     documentation for the "stg id" command).
  45
  46   - A powerful Emacs mode for StGit was added to the "contrib"
  47     directory. It displays the patch stack in an Emacs buffer, and can
  48     handle all common StGit tasks.
  49
  50   - Improved bash tab-completion, automatically generated from the stg
  51     command definitions.
  52
  53   - Man pages and an improved tutorial.
  54
  55 Special thanks go to Karl Wiberg for the hard work done on the new
  56 StGit features, to Catalin Marinas for many new features and bugfixes,
  57 and to David Kågedal and Gustav Hållberg for the Emacs mode.
