gix-tix v0.1.0

on GitHub

Chore

• add package.include directives to control which files are packaged.

• bump rust-version to 1.70
  That way clippy will allow to use the fantastic Option::is_some_and()
  and friends.

• change rust-version manifest field back to 1.65.
  They didn't actually need to be higher to work, and changing them
  unecessarily can break downstream CI.

  Let's keep this value as low as possible, and only increase it when
  more recent features are actually used.

• upgrade MSRV to v1.70
  Our MSRV follows the one of helix, which in turn follows Firefox.

New Features

• add configurable terminal screen modes.

• limit commit selection highlighting.

• mailmap support with 'm' toggle.
  Additionally, dim disabled toggles.

• show bots and commit attributions in tix
  Highlight authors identified by the Codex and Claude email addresses, and expose recognized contribution trailers alongside the primary author. Group actors by trailer kind and keep trailer metadata enabled by default behind a dedicated toggle.

  The regression fixture covers bot authors, bot co-authors, mixed-case trailer tokens, all recognized attribution kinds, repeated kinds, and malformed actor values. UI coverage verifies grouping, colors, bracketed bot names, and both metadata toggles.

  Validated with:

  • GIX_TEST_IGNORE_ARCHIVES=1 cargo test -p gix-tix --features sha1
  • cargo check -p gix-tix --no-default-features --features sha256
  • cargo clippy -p gix-tix --all-targets --features sha1 --no-deps
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check

• hide revision ancestry in tix

• keep tix available as a standalone binary

• add tix to the gix CLI

• use tig colors in tix

• add horizontal paging to tix

• toggle special references in tix

• show commit dates and author names in tix

• draw commit graph lanes in tix

• add Vim-style page scrolling to tix

• let tix quit when history loading completes

• add the Ratatui tix binary
  Turn gix-tix into the installed tix executable and render its streaming history with Ratatui. The terminal loop accepts multiple revision tips, defaults to HEAD, keeps input responsive with bounded event draining, supports paging/tail navigation and cancellation, and copies full object IDs through OSC52.

  Use the latest Rust version requested for this binary. Ratatui TestBackend verifies row, decoration, selection, and footer rendering; key mapping and model/history tests cover the remaining behavior.

  Post-implementation Linux checkout observations: first paint and quit completed within 0.11s; the history walker visited 1,352,640 commits in 7.24s with 1,148,321,792 bytes maximum RSS. For reference, git rev-list --count took 0.61s and git log --oneline --decorate took 14.55s. These are observations only, with no optimization threshold.

  Validated with cargo test -p gix-tix, cargo clippy -p gix-tix --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo check -p gix-tix, and cargo build --release -p gix-tix.

Bug Fixes

• better memory handling (use less)
• ignore broken references in tix decorations
• require explicit hash selection for gix-tix
• keep tix metadata visible on wide graphs

Other

• Update gitoxide repository URLs
  This updates Byron/gitoxide URLs to GitoxideLabs/gitoxide in:

  • Markdown documentation, except changelogs and other such files
    where such changes should not be made.

  • Documentation comments (in .rs files).

  • Manifest (.toml) files, for the value of the repository key.

  • The comments appearing at the top of a sample hook that contains
    a repository URL as an example.

  When making these changes, I also allowed my editor to remove
  trailing whitespace in any lines in files already being edited
  (since, in this case, there was no disadvantage to allowing this).

  The gitoxide repository URL changed when the repository was moved
  into the recently created GitHub organization GitoxideLabs, as
  detailed in #1406. Please note that, although I believe updating
  the URLs to their new canonical values is useful, this is not
  needed to fix any broken links, since Byron/gitoxide URLs
  redirect (and hopefully will always redirect) to the coresponding
  GitoxideLabs/gitoxide URLs.

  While this change should not break any URLs, some affected URLs
  were already broken. This updates them, but they are still broken.
  They will be fixed in a subsequent commit.

  This also does not update Byron/gitoxide URLs in test fixtures
  or test cases, nor in the Makefile. (It may make sense to change
  some of those too, but it is not really a documentation change.)

• speed up tix on million-commit histories
• avoid waiting and formatting hidden tix rows
