[ANNOUNCE] qgit-1.5.5

qgit is a git repository GUI browser. This is mostly a bug fix release.

Due to a change in git-rev-list output in git version 1.5 and above in case of commit encoding information old version of qgit are no more compatible and big issues in revision list view are possible under some circumstances.

So an upgrade to this release is strongly suggested for all the users of new version of git (1.5 and above).

Download tarball from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/qgit or directly from git public repository git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/qgit/qgit.git

P.S: There is also a Qt4 version (works under Windows) downloadable from git://repo.or.cz/qgit4.git it is a little bit experimental tough.
