1.0b17

New & changed

• Sort options for file lists.
• Renamed files are now listed as such, instead of delete and add.
• History list indicates signed commits with a ✸ (security seal) icon. Signatures are not currently verified; the icon just indicates the presence of a signature.
• Sidebar icons differentiate between lightweight tags, annotated tags, and signed tags (again, not verified).
• Annotated tags have an info popover showing the creator, date, and message.
• Commit message trailers are also shown in the header area.
• The Clone panel can now authenticate for private repositories.
• Hidden/shown history columns are remembered.
• Larger default window size.
• Hardened runtime enabled.
• Various things were rewritten in SwiftUI. Fun!
• macOS 12 is now the minimum.
• Now features a build for Apple Silicon.

Fixes

• Changes to tags did not cause the sidebar to update.
• Fixed a large memory leak for every opened repository window.
• Improved performance of the Clean panel with large file counts (by converting from SwiftUI.List to NSTableView). My test case was about 100k files.
• Right-clicking on a file that was not selected would bring up a menu full of disabled commands.

1.0b16

New & changed

• Requires macOS 11.3
• Clone command for cloning local and remote repositories
• Clean command for deleting untracked and ignored files, as with git clean
• User interface updates for macOS 11
  • Most interface icons changed to SF Symbols
  • macOS 11 style integrated toolbar with full-height sidebar (and the proxy icon is finally draggable)
• Clicking on the SHA in the commit info panel copies it to the clipboard (this panel was also rewritten in SwiftUI, yay!)
• Refs (branches and tags) can be displayed in a separate column in the history list

Fixes

• Multi-line config settings were getting corrupted if Xit saved changes to your config file. This was fixed by adding an app level config file stored in ~/Library/Application Support/xit.config.
• Fast-forward merges could sometimes lose non-conflicting workspace changes. The workaround for now is to use command-line Git for fast-forward merges.
• Minor improvements to Bitbucket integration.
• Fixed issues with split views on macOS 11.
• Improved performance (again) for loading TeamCity build results.
• Better matching when finding TeamCity builds - matching host name and path, ignoring user name or http vs ssh.
• The history list didn't always resize the graph column as you resized the window.
• Stage, Unstage, and Revert buttons were shown for stashes.

1.0b15

New & Changed

• The commit history is now loaded partially at first, and then more as needed if you scroll down far enough.
• Fetch, Push, and Pull buttons in the toolbar now have menus for selecting specific remotes or branches.
• Implemented the Reset command.
• Added support for GitLab accounts so your password (or access token) can automatically be used when pushing or pulling.
• Workspace status is now displayed in window tabs.
• Option to show committer name, committer date, and SHA columns in the history list
• Option (on by default) to strip comment lines in commit messages
• Window toolbar redone using actual toolbar items instead of one big custom view. Mainly this lays the groundwork for a macOS Big Sur style interface.

Fixes

• The history graph would become corrupted when there were more than 256 branch lines passing through a commit.
• Creating a new commit, and then selecting it in the history list, would end up with the old branch head selected instead.
• Attempting to reopen a repository that has been deleted would cause a crash.
• Sidebar status indicators now update after pushing to a remote.

1.0b14

New & Changed

• Filter field at the bottom of the sidebar.
• Add button at the bottom of the sidebar, with a menu for creating branches, tags, and remotes.
• Option (on by default) to automatically reset the Amend checkbox after committing or switching branches.
• Fetch and pull redone to use libgit2 directly instead of Objective Git. Hopefully ssh support was improved somewhat in the process.
• File previews redone to use the new WKWebView API instead of the old deprecated WebView.
• New icons for the fetch, push and pull buttons.
• An ellipsis is now shown in the history list when a commit message has more than one line.

Fixes

• Refreshing build and pull request status could be very slow, causing the app to hang for a while, on repositories with large numbers of branches. It can still be slow, but it's better.
• "This hunk cannot be applied" was shown on new files.
• "This is a binary file" was shown for folders.
• Build status indicators in the sidebar were sometimes not clickable.
• Build status and pull requests were not getting loaded initially, and so were not shown until the first 5-minute refresh.
• The branch list in the title bar popup is alphabetized

1.0b13

New

• Confirmation dialogs for discarding hunks and stashes
• Improved finding passwords in the keychain for Git network operations (push & fetch)
• The sidebar retains expanded items when reloading
• New build status icons, including an in-progress indicator

Fixes

• The "Check Out" command was accidentally called Rename
• In outline view, deleted files showed up under duplicate folder entries
• Stage and Unstage commands were shown when a stash was selected
• "Create Tracking Branch" is now only enabled when a remote branch is selected
• Closing a window when a password prompt was about to appear could hang the app
• Rearranged the new/edit account sheet
• Different repository windows showing forks/clones of the same repository no longer synchronize their selections
• The Edit Account sheet shows the correct service type
• Accounts can be edited even if the password is missing in the Keychain
• Fixed a crash that could occasionally happen when displaying new file diffs

1.0b12

Features

• Multiple files can be selected in the file lists
• Account settings can be edited in Preferences
• Option to automatically collapse the history list when in staging view
• The build status popover now has a refresh button
• Added a refresh button to reload the Staged and Workspace lists

Fixes

• Updated to the latest libgit2 which should fix the crash at launch when libcrypto is not installed.
• Various dark mode improvements, such as updating the diff/blame views when switching appearances
• Between the workspace list and the staged list, only one will have a selection, to make it clearer what file contents are being shown
• The "new tag" dialog no longer requires a slash in the tag name
• Fixed "this hunk cannot be applied" appearing in commit diffs
• Search and view button states are updated when splitters are moved
• Improved load time with a large number of remote branches
• Alerts are shown when errors happen with online services (Bitbucket and TeamCity)
• Improved sorting of branches and tags in the sidebar, particularly when they contain numbers (10 no longer goes between 1 and 2)
• Detecting changes in workspace files had stopped working. Fixed that.
• A deadlock could happen if the sidebar tried to reload while a password dialog was open for a network operation.

1.0b11

New things:

• When you sign in to Bitbucket Server, icons for pull requests from a registered remote are shown on the source branches in the sidebar. The icons have a popup menu for approving, viewing in the browser, etc. PRs from other repositories, and support for other services (like GitHub), will come later.
• A new Stash button in the toolbar with various commands and options

Fixes:

• Fixed a crash that could happen when something triggered a refresh
• Fixed spurious refreshing that could happen when opening blame view or on a regular check for file changes
• Fixed blame view sometimes loading multiple times for a file
• When selecting a remote branch, the sidebar no longer selects the corresponding local branch instead
• Fixed the sidebar cloud icons being clickable when they were not in the warning state
• Fixed the crash when canceling the password prompt
• Improved sizing of the various split views when the window is resized

1.0b10

New things:

• Find feature to search commits by summary, name/email, or SHA.
• Better support for ssh in remotes.
• New command for creating a local branch tracking a remote branch.
• The Revert command, for reverting changed workspace files, now has a confirmation dialog.
• Show Ignored Files now works. Tree view hides them when the option is off (it used to always show them).
• Opening a repository dismisses the Open panel if it's showing.

Fixes:

• Improved load times for large repositories. I'm pretty sure it used to be this fast, and now it is again.
• Fixed some cases where TeamCity build status wasn't showing correctly in the sidebar.
• Fixed some memory leaks.
• Closing a window before it finishes processing the history list will abort processing.

• Staging view now has separate lists for workspace and staged files
• Amend commit option added

• Merge commits display with gray text (this can be turned off in Preferences)
• Entirely new application icon!
