Due to a bug in the handling of submodules, here is a new release of Tig. In addition to the bug fix, this new version reduces memory usage and startup time of the main view and shows the blob size in the tree view.

Note to packagers: the manual and manpage documentation files now live inside the doc/ directory and and have .asciidoc as the extension. The SITES file has been removed as its content has been merged into README.

Release notes

Incompatibilities:

  • Move manual and man pages to doc/ directory and rename AsciiDoc files
    to have .asciidoc as the extension to make them render on GitHub.

Improvements:

  • Show blob sizes in the tree view either as bytes or using binary unit
    prefixes. Example: set show-file-size = units. (GH #163)
  • Reduce main view memory usage and startup time, especially when revision
    graph rendering is disabled. (GH #160)

Bug fixes:

  • Fix submodule-related setup to check for non-zero return value from
    setenv(). (GH #188)
