v1.1.2 (28/09/2026)

Added

• Current Git User Detection ("You" Display): Automatically detects when a commit was authored by the current Git user strictly by email (git config user.email), preventing name collisions across different contributors. Displays You inline (e.g. (avatar) You, 3 days ago: Add JWT middleware) while preserving the user's authentic avatar badge and full author details in hover cards.

Changed

• Cleaner Hover Card Header: Simplified the commit hover card title to clean ### Git Glance for a sleeker visual presentation.
• Security Policy: Broadened supported extension version range to 1.x.x in SECURITY.md.

v1.1.1 (28/09/2026)

Changed

• Refined Inline View:
  • Committed lines default to: (avatar) ${author}, ${time}: ${message} (e.g. (avatar) Wahyu Ridiansyah, 3 days ago: Add JWT middleware).
  • Uncommitted lines default to: ${author}, ${time}: ${message} (e.g. You, 3 hours ago: Uncommitted changes).
• Dynamic Uncommitted Timestamps: Uncommitted lines now calculate real relative time from the file's modification timestamp (e.g., 3 hours ago, just now) instead of static text.
• Distraction-Free Uncommitted Lines: Avatar badges and hover card tooltips are disabled on uncommitted lines to keep cursor movement and typing completely clean.

v1.1.0 (28/09/2026)

Added

• Configurable Hover Date Format: Added gitGlance.hoverDateFormat setting to customize the exact timestamp displayed in the hover card tooltip.
• Rich Token Support: Added flexible date pattern tokens for formatCustomDate: DD, D, MM, M, YYYY, YY, HH, H, hh, h, mm, m, ss, s, A, a, MMM, MMMM, ddd, dddd, and [escaped brackets].

Changed

• Updated default hover date format from YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm to DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm (e.g., 25/09/2026 14:10).

v1.0.0 (28/09/2026)

Initial Production Release 🎉

Welcome to the initial release of Git Glance — a modern, ultra-lightweight, and delightful inline Git blame extension for Visual Studio Code.

Added

• Inline Git Blame: Instant, theme-adaptive inline annotations displayed directly at the end of the active cursor line.
• Avatar Badges:
  • Automatically generated SVG initials badges with deterministic author color hashing.
  • Asynchronous background Gravatar fetching and caching for author photos.
  • Distinctive avatar for uncommitted working tree edits.
• 8 Built-in Presets:
  • default: (avatar) Author committed 3 days ago: Message
  • minimalist: · Author, 3d ago — Message
  • playful: 👀 Author, 3 days ago • 🚀 Message
  • terminal: // git:author @ hash (3d) "Message"
  • github: @author committed 3d ago: Message
  • breadcrumb: › Author › 3d ago › Message
  • bento: ⚡ Author │ ⏱️ 3d ago │ 💬 Message
  • comment: /* by Author, 3d ago: Message */
• Custom Template Engine (preset: "custom"): Full freedom to compose custom formats using tokens: ${author}, ${email}, ${authorEmail}, ${time}, ${date}, ${isoDate}, ${message}, ${hash}, ${shortHash}, ${fullHash}, and ${prefix}.
• Uncommitted Changes Detection: Shows real-time working copy status (You: uncommitted changes) powered by git blame --contents - without requiring files to be saved.
• Rich Interactive Hover Card:
  • Displays author, email, relative time, exact timestamp, commit SHA, and commit message.
  • Direct action links: Copy SHA, View Commit Details, and Open in Remote Web Browser (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).
• Command Palette Integration:
  • Git Glance: Toggle Inline Blame
  • Git Glance: Toggle Avatar
  • Git Glance: Copy Commit Hash
  • Git Glance: Show Commit Details (interactive QuickPick with message copying)
  • Git Glance: Open Commit on Remote (GitHub/GitLab)
• Avatar Enhancements:
  • Constrained all avatar badges and photos to strict 14px × 14px SVG dimensions to prevent editor line height distortions and overlapping text.
  • Multi-source avatar resolution: GitHub noreply emails (...@users.noreply.github.com), Gravatar, GitHub username handles (https://github.com/{author}.png), and GitLab handles.
  • Reactive live updates via onAvatarReady without requiring cursor movements once background photo fetch completes.
• Performance & Polish:
  • Zero runtime dependencies.
  • Bundled with esbuild for instant startup and negligible memory footprint.
  • Debounced cursor tracking (configurable via gitGlance.delay).
  • In-memory blame caching with automatic invalidation on document save and change.
