[2.0.0] 2022-11-06

Removed

stg clone is removed. Use git clone and stg init instead.
stg mail is replaced with stg email format and stg email send.
stg refresh --spill is replaced with dedicated stg spill command.
stg edit no longer accepts -O/--diff-opts. Custom diff options is in conflict with editable diffs since many (most?) diff options cause the diff to no long be applicable.
stg files no longer accepts -O/--diff-opts. This option was of marginal value since it only had a possible side effect when --stat was being used.

Added

stg id now accepts the -b/--branch option.
stg completion command provides runtime support for shell completions.
stg completion bash generates bash shell completion script.
stg completion fish generates fish shell completion script.
stg completion zsh outputs zsh shell completion script.
stg completion list shows StGit commands and aliases and is used at completion-time by shell completion scripts.
stg completion man generates man pages in asciidoc format.
stg email format wraps git format-patch and provides a mechanism to generate patch emails and optional cover letter in mbox format.
stg email send wraps git send-email and allows sending patch emails, either from files generated by stg email format or by specifying patches directly.
stg new --refresh allows a new patch to be refreshed with changes in one step. The -i/--index, -F/--force, -s/--submodules, and --no-submodules options from stg refresh are also available to stg new when using -r/--refresh.
stg series gains the -i/--commit-id option to display patches' commit ids.
stg show diff output can now be limited to certain paths by specifying path limits on the command line.
stg spill replaces stg refresh --spill.
stg version gains -s/--short flag to show shortened version info.
Added documentation for patch range syntax to stg(1) man page.
Added install-all target to top-level Makefile that installs the executable, man pages, html pages, and shell completions.

Changed

StGit is now implemented entirely in Rust instead of Python.
StGit is generally much faster; many commands are up to 4x faster. There was an emphasis on making informational commands such as stg id, stg series, and stg top as fast as possible to make their use in interactive contexts (shell prompts, IDE extensions) more comfortable.
StGit error messages have been updated; many have different, and hopefully better, wording. Error messages are also use color (when color is enabled). Scripts relying on exact error messages from StGit will need to be updated.
StGit output to stdout is generally more terse. Commands that change the stack such as push, pop, and commit, use sigils to denote the changes made to the stack. E.g. stg commit p0..p3 will output $ p0..p3 where the "$" sigil means that a patch, or patch range, has been committed. These are all the currently used stack change sigils:
- + patch was pushed
- - patch was popped
- > patch became the current topmost patch
- & patch was updated
- $ patch was committed
- # patch was deleted
- @ patch was rolled-back
- ! patch was hidden
StGit aliases are now more like Git aliases. Normal aliases refer to StGit subcommands, but aliases prefixed with '!' are shell aliases that may run arbitrary commands. An example normal alias would be git config stgit.alias.list 'series --description --empty'. An example shell alias would be git config stgit.alias.st '!git status --short'.
Commands such as stg goto, stg push, and stg pop now require full/correct patch names on the command line and no longer accept unambiguous patch name prefixes. When an inexact patch name is provided on the command line, the error message will now suggest similar valid patch names.
Additional template search paths were added. In addition to looking for template files in .git/, also look in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/stgit/templates/ and $HOME/.stgit/templates. This search strategy is consistent with how git looks for the global config file.
The new --signoff patch edit option supersedes the deprecated --sign and --sign-by options. --signoff without its optional value does the same thing as --sign, while --signoff=<value> does the same thing as --sign-by=<value>.
The --ack and --review patch edit options now optionally take a value. The --ack-by and --review-by options are deprecated.
stg branch output is now generally less verbose.
stg branch --describe replaces stg branch --description. The --description subcommand remains supported as a hidden alias to --describe, but the description string must now be provided as its own argument; i.e. --description="description string" is no longer supported.
stg branch --list now produces colorized output. The --color option or NO_COLOR environment variable may be used to affect this behavior.
stg branch --rename now supports renaming regular git branches in addition to StGit-enabled branches.
stg clean now uses -A and -U short options for --applied and --unapplied instead of -a and -u. This is done for consistency with stg series and stg show.
stg import now only recognizes compressed patches by their file extension (.bz2 or .gz) and no longer proactively attempts to decompress using all known decompressors.
stg import support for compressed input files is selectable at compile time using the import-compressed feature.
stg import support for importing from a URL is selectable at compile time using the import-url feature. N.B. there is a measurable runtime performance impact of building with import-url due to the unconditional, pre-main initialization of curl which affects all stg commands.
stg log now colorizes output by default. The --color option or NO_COLOR environment variable may be used to affect this behavior.
stgit.new.verbose changed to stgit.edit.verbose and now also affects edit behavior for edit, refresh, and squash along with new.
stg new now accepts -e/--edit and -d/--diff instead of -v/--verbose
stg pick now allows a mix of commits and patches to be picked whereas previously only a single commit xor multiple patches could be picked.
stg pick now performs a single stack transaction for all the picked patches/commits instead of one transaction per pick.
stg push now attempts to perform three-way merges, which may improve conflict resolution in some cases. This feature is enabled by default when git >= 2.32.0 is detected.
stg rebase --interactive the "squash" and "fixup" instructions may no longer be applied to the first patch in the instruction list. The stated semantics of both "squash" and "fixup" is that they squash the labeled patch with the preceding patch, which is not possible/valid when there is no preceding patch.
stg refresh no longer has a --spill flag. Use stg spill instead.
stg series has updated colorized output.
stg series now requires patch range arguments to be both in-order and contiguous. Constraining patch ranges in this manner ensures that the output from stg series is always a valid/correct view of a subset of the series.
stg show diff output respects the --color option.
stg squash now allows the full suite of patch edit options, including -d/--diff. Previously only a few message-related options were available.
stg version now displays copyright and license statements.

Fixed

stg branch --create inherits the current branch's remote branch configuration, if available. The Python implementation had an apparent bug that prevented inheriting the remote branch configuration when creating from the current branch.
Avoid case insensitive patch name collisions. On operating systems with case-insensitive paths, patch names that only differ by case lead to patch reference collisions. StGit now ensures that patch names are distinct under case insensitive comparisons.
stg pull and stg rebase record updated stack state instead of deferring until the next stack-modifying command to do so.

Changed since 2.0.0-rc.2

chore: Update Cargo.lock

Fixed

fix(zsh): Repair broken completion of --git-opt

The --git-opt option no longer allows multiple git options per occurrence. This allows git options with spaces in their values.
Zsh completion for --diff-opt and --git-opt leverage the full-featured git completion capability.

Fixed

The '$' sigil used for committed patches is now yellow instead of white.
Patch names beginning with a hyphen '-' may be disambiguated from command line options by escaping the leading '-' with a backslash.

Patch name arguments to stg email format and stg email-send can now be placed after a -- separator (#216).
Update top-level usage help for stg.

Fixed

The stg uncommit -h usage indentation is repaired.
The stg float usage now shows the two distinct usage modes.
stg squash --name allows patch names with leading '-'.

The new 'stgit.import.message-id' config option also enables the Message-Id trailer (#42)

Changed

stg import no longer creates "Message-Id" trailer by default when importing patches from email (#42)
StGit works with Python 3.10
stg version prints a more abbreviated Python version
stg commit will no longer commit empty patches by default; the --allow-empty option may be used to override this behavior (#158)

stg edit, stg refresh, and stg new learn the --sign-by, --ack-by, and --review-by options which allow those respective trailers' values to be specified by the user on the command line (#92)

Changed

Stack metadata version 5; stack metadata is moved from refs/heads/<branch>.stgit to refs/stacks/<branch> and the stack metadata file now uses a JSON format instead of the prior custom format; the stack metadata will be upgraded to v5 on first use of this version of StGit; like all stack metadata upgrades, this is a one-way auto-upgrade for existing stacks (#65)

[0.15] 2009-10-24

Removed

The commands "stg add", "stg rm", "stg cp", and "stg resolved" were removed, since there are corresponding Git equivalents.

Added

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 stg import and stg fold commands support the -p N option for stripping leading slashes from diff paths.
The stg import and stg fold commands support the --reject option for leaving rejected hunks in corresponding *.rej files.
New patch identification syntax: <branch>:<patch> (see documentation for the "stg id" command).
Autosigning of imported patches when sign.autosign configuration option is set.
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.
Man pages and an improved tutorial.

Changed

Improved bash tab-completion, automatically generated from the stg command definitions.
