+ Stacked Git 0.15 released
+ -------------------------
StGit is a Python application providing functionality similar to Quilt
(i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of Git. These
stored as Git commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGit
patches into other repositories using standard Git functionality.
-Bugs can be reported on the Git mailing list or via the project bug
-tracker at https://gna.org/bugs/?group=stgit.

The main changes since release 0.14.3 are
-- New core infrastructure for repository operations
-- Infinite undo/redo operations and corresponding commands
-- Automatic reverting of changes following a failed operation (using
- transactions)
-- New 'squash' command for combining two or more patches into one
-- New 'publish' command for maintaining merge-friendly branches (which
- are not rebased)
-- New patch identification format - <branch>:<patch> (see 'id'
- command)
-- UI improvements and removal of the 'add', 'rm' and 'resolved'
- commands since there are corresponding Git equivalents
-- Emacs mode improvements
-- Man pages and improved tutorial

-Special thanks go to Karl Hasselström for the hard work done on the
-new StGit features.
+ - New core infrastructure for repository operations, including
+
+ + Infinite undo/redo operations and corresponding commands.
+
+ + Automatic rollback of changes following a failed operation
+ (using transactions)---this ensures that StGit commands either
+ succeed or do nothing. Previously, every commands had its own
+ ad hoc implementation of this.
+
+ - Some commands were added, including
+
+ + "stg squash", for combining two or more patches into one.
+
+ + "stg publish", for maintaining merge-friendly branches (which
+ are not rebased).
+
+ + "stg prev/next" for printing the name of the previous or next
+ patch in the series.
+
+ - The commands "stg add", "stg rm", "stg cp", and "stg resolved"
+ were removed, since there are corresponding Git equivalents
+
+ - New patch identification syntax: <branch>:<patch> (see
+ documentation for the "stg id" command).
+
+ - A powerful Emacs mode for StGit was added to the "contrib"
+ directory. It displays the patch stack in an Emacs buffer, and can
+ handle all common StGit tasks.
+
+ - Improved bash tab-completion, automatically generated from the stg
+ command definitions.
+
+ - Man pages and an improved tutorial.
+
+Special thanks go to Karl Wiberg for the hard work done on the new
+StGit features, to Catalin Marinas for many new features and bugfixes,
+and to David Kågedal and Gustav Hållberg for the Emacs mode.
