Release Notes

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.
• Improvements to the juxta installer to facilitate integrating with Git clients.
• Performance improvements.

• Fix: clicking in the merge tool’s scrollbar could break scrolling for the middle text view
• Fix: “Ours” & “Theirs” buttons were showing empty popovers in the merge tool.
• Fix: Repository state description was missing during a rebase.
• Fix: Potential crash when attempting to view or edit license key information.
• Support for comparing files via juxta
• Performance improvements.

• Workspace diffs update more quickly now. Especially for repos with many files.
• Support for using the --dir-diff option with git difftool.
• Text comparisons can now detect and display differences in newline characters.
• Various performance improvements.

• Yet more performance improvements.
• Fixed: commits were right-justified in the file history commit list.

• More performance improvements.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when opening a repository.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when using “Choose All from Left/Right” in the merge tool.
• Fixed large diffs only partially loading when using git difftool.
• Improved support for the various ways that git difftool can be called. E.g. using “..” notation to specify two revisions.

Known Issues

While support for git difftool has been improved, a couple of issues remain:

• The --dir-diff argument is not yet supported.

  Workaround: Remove --dir-diff from your invocation of git difftool. JuxtaCode will still present a diff of the revisions that you passed in.

• juxta does not yet support comparing 2 specific files (as opposed to revisions) via git difftool.

  Workaround: Open the files in JuxtaCode directly.

⚡️ Lots of performance improvements ⚡️

And a bunch of fixes:

• Fixed a crash that could occur when opening a diff.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when scrolling through a list of commits.
• Fixed visual glitches in commit list when there are a lot of branches.
• Fixed file history not opening properly when the repository is already open.
• Fixed File > Open… not offering to open files in file history.
• Fixed: it wasn’t possible to select text from commit diffs.
• Fixed: juxta would just show a repository in Finder instead of opening it in JuxtaCode.

Known Issues

Regrettably, using juxta with git difftool fails in a few scenarios:

• the --dir-diff option isn’t currently supported,
• .. notation for specifying ranges is only partially supported, and
• diffs with a lot of files can get stuck after partially loading.

I intend to address these issues in an upcoming update.

Fixed the “Buy Now” button 🤡

More meaningful improvements are in the works, but I felt I had to address this embarrassing mistake first.
