Release Notes

• juxta installer: added the ability to opt out of making juxta the default Git diff/merge tool.
• Fixed: diffs sometimes appeared empty or not highlighted when using certain character encodings (e.g. UTF-16).
• Fixed: selecting a branch or tag would not work if the list had been filtered.

Updated libgit2 to version 1.8.0 to address Git compatibility issues.

• Fixed a rare crash caused by an out-of-bounds array index when generating a diff.
• Fixed font size text field getting reset when using the other font drop-down controls.

Updated the juxta installer to no longer change the owner of .gitconfig to root.

• Fixed a crash that could occur when diffing files that have a symbolic link in their path.
• Fixed a deadlock that could occur when selecting a commit.
• The “Compare with Previous Commit” action now attempts to diff with a parent of the selected commit rather than just the next commit that is listed.
• Fixed: selecting an annotated tag from the references popup menu would result in an empty commit list being displayed.
• The current (HEAD) branch now appears above other local branches and below the default branch in the references popup menu.
• Added a “HEAD” badge to the current branch in the references popup menu.
• Performance improvements, especially for repositories with many files or many commits.

• When a 2-way Git diff has focus, the ↓ and ↑ keys (without holding command or option) will now navigate between changes within a file but they will also navigate to the next/previous file rather than loop back to the start/end of the current file. The original looping-within-a-file behaviour when holding the option key is still available.
