• sl worktree now works in native Git repositories. These are checkouts made with git clone, where sl runs directly in the .git checkout.
  • sl worktree add PATH [--label LABEL] [-r REV] creates a linked checkout with git worktree add (detached).
  • sl worktree list shows the main and linked checkouts with their labels. sl worktree label PATH LABEL sets a label, which is stored in the checkout's Git admin directory.
  • sl worktree remove PATH and sl worktree remove --all remove linked checkouts. This includes checkouts created with git worktree add.
  • sl worktree is now included in builds without EdenFS, such as the open source builds.
  • Checkouts created with sl clone (.sl mode) are not supported. Use git clone, then run sl in the checkout.
• sl drop is now enabled by default.
  • sl drop -r REV... removes one or more commits from a stack and rebases their descendants.
  • If rebasing stops on a conflict, use sl drop --continue or sl drop --abort.
  • Revisions must be given with -r.
• histedit improvements:
  • --plan RULE gives the plan on the command line, one rule per flag, oldest commit first.
    • Example: sl histedit --plan 'pick 8ef592ce7cc4' --plan 'roll 5339bf82f0ca' --plan 'pick 252a1af424ad'.
  • New into verb (abbreviated i). It folds the previous commit into this one and keeps this commit's message, the opposite of roll.
  • --show-plan with no histedit in progress prints the plan a new histedit would start with, and changes nothing.
  • After a histedit, dropped commits (dropping changeset ...) and combined commits (folded A, B -> C "summary") are listed. These lines are not shown with HGPLAIN or -T.
• Commands that rewrite commits (rebase, amend, absorb, histedit, drop, ...) list their old -> new lines in stack order. When the list is truncated, the bottom and top commit of each stack are always shown. Set the limit with tweakdefaults.showupdatedlimit (default 10).
• uncommit improvements:
  • It can rewrite a commit in the middle of a stack. Descendants are restacked the same way as for amend, following amend.autorestack.
  • A partial uncommit FILE now records the result as a new version of the commit.
  • Copy and rename records are kept.
  • On a commit with descendants, uncommitting every change without --keep now aborts with a hint to use --keep.
• amend --to REV FILE... no longer loses the pending state (added, removed, copied) of files it did not amend.
• commit -i and amend -i build the new commit in memory instead of temporarily rewriting files in the working copy. Disable with --config record.inmemory=false.
• commit, amend, metaedit and other commands that take -m warn when a message title contains a typed \n escape instead of a newline. Disable with --config commit.check-escaped-newlines=false.
• rebase warns when the destination's ancestry contains older versions of the stack being rebased, which would move the stack back onto obsolete commits. Configure with rebase.obsolete-dest-mode (warn, prompt, abort). --keep skips the check.
• split now aborts when given -m or -l. Before, it ignored them.
• experimental.evolution.allowdivergence is renamed to mutation.allow-divergence. The old name still works.
• .git mode: when one submodule fails to check out, checkout continues with the remaining submodules and reports all failures together.
• diff -B now prints correct hunk offsets. A negative -U or diff.unified is now ignored; before, it produced hunks that could not be applied.
• Merges where one side changes a file's content and the other changes its executable bit no longer crash. Rebase and amend --to keep both changes.
• Fixed crashes in sl cat -T and -Tjson on non-UTF-8 files, in sl import when rejecting a binary hunk, in sl paths outside a repository, and in the x~n revset with a very large n.
• Computing the parents of large sets of scattered commits is faster.
• Various other improvements and fixes.

Sapling

Important

This release contains security fixes. If you use sapling with untrusted repos, you should upgrade.

• goto now prints the commit it checked out.
  • Example: sl goto main ends with checked out 4c764e361100 "second".
  • Disable with --config checkout.show-destination=false. Not shown with --quiet or HGPLAIN.
• commit now lists the files it changed after the new commit hash. Disable with --config commit.show-status=false.
• Safer handling of obsolete (amended or rebased) commits.
  • goto of an obsolete commit, and committing on top of one, now asks for confirmation. Checking out a stale hash is a common way to accidentally revive an old version of a commit and diverge a stack.
  • HGPLAIN=1 keeps the old behavior for scripts.
• .git mode improvements.
  • sl worktree list now lists Git worktrees. Adding and removing worktrees is not supported yet.
  • Repos using Git's reftable reference format are now supported.
• sl pr submit can use a review tool other than ReviewStack for the "Best reviewed with" link in the stack footer:

  [github]
  pull-request-review-url-template=https://review.example.com/{owner}/{repo}/pull/{number}
  pull-request-review-tool-name=MyReview

• unshelve keeps untracked files untracked when it has to rebase, including after unshelve --continue.
• rebase --collapse validates the commit message before rebasing, rather than failing partway through.
• The bsearch revset now supports non-linear history.
• subtree copy accepts --no-commit. Pending subtree copies show in sl status and can be abandoned with sl goto --clean ..
• Interactive prompts driven through a pipe now echo the selected response (ui.promptecho).
• rebase prefetches merge inputs in batches, and file and tree fetching uses less memory.
• The pager no longer panics while restoring the terminal on exit.
• macOS releases are now Apple Silicon only. Intel Macs are no longer supported.
• Various other improvements and fixes.

Sapling

Important

This release contains security fixes. If you use sapling with untrusted repos, you should upgrade.

• Added experimental -t | --mutation to show and log.
  • Example: sl show -t shows diff before/after an amend.
  • Example: sl log -Gtpr "predecessors(.)" shows a chain of amends with an ASCII graph.
  • This is experimental and known incomplete (e.g. does not show diffs of commit message, and does not handle rebase)
• Changed multiple -m behavior for commit message.
  • Example: sl commit -m title -m body now uses "title\n\nbody" instead of "body" as the commit message.
  • Applies to all commands taking -m as the commit message.
