Hi,

I'm pleased to announce Tig version 2.4.0 with improvements to UTF-8 handling and compatibility with Git as well as a ton of bug fixes,

What is Tig? ------------

Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly as a Git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various Git commands.
