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 - 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.

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.
