github jorio/gitfourchette v1.10.0

3 hours ago

New features:

  • CommitDialog: Dedicated "signoff" button (git commit --signoff)
  • Open repo workdir in external editor (from Repo menu, or by right-clicking a repo tab) (#118)

Quality of life improvements:

  • Askpass: Better UI when connecting to an unknown host (#128)
  • Specific "No changes" message when A/B diffing two commits with the same tree
  • Conflict resolution: Improved compatibility with merge tools that write the merged file from a different process after a delay (some popular IDEs)

Bug fixes:

  • Fix stash deletion failing when trash is disabled (#122)
  • Cherrypick/Revert: Show meaningful error message if git exits with code 128, typically "local changes would be overwritten" (#130)
  • Flatpak: Fix ssh-agent sandboxed state after changing git executable from settings
  • Subpatch extraction: Don't spill over to first line in next hunk if selection ends on hunk header (was only an issue with context lines turned off)
  • FileList: Edit HEAD Version in Editor: Get file from HEAD, not index if it has staged changes
  • Restore Revision and Save Revision As were rewritten to use git restore/git cat-file, fixing issues with restoring symlinks
  • DiffView: Reevaluate search term when switching to a different diff document

Security fixes:

  • Custom Commands that manipulate the selected object via tokens like $FILE or $REF now safely escape the object's name before substitution. In a hostile repo, this prevents malicious filenames or ref names from injecting tokens into a Custom Command that you run on them.

Maintenance & packaging notes:

  • Bump minimum Python version to 3.12 (previously 3.10)
  • Make Pygments a mandatory dependency (previously optional)
  • Enforce type checking with mypy (#2)
