[ANNOUNCE] tig-1.0

> Hello,
>
> Version 1.0 of tig is now available. This release brings many smaller
> tweaks and improvements as well as a number of fixes and compatibility
> changes to work with the newer versions of git. See the release notes
> below for a detailed list of changes.
>
> Note that the master repository has been moved to:
>
>         git://github.com/jonas/tig.git.
>
> So if you were tracking the old master repository, please update your
> .git/config or run:
>
>         $ git remote set-url origin git://github.com/jonas/tig.git
>
> 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.

> Release notes
> -------------
> The master repository is git://github.com/jonas/tig.git, and the old
> master repository (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/tig.git) will be retired.
>
> Improvements:
>
>  - Use git-log(1)s default commit ordering. The old behavior can be
>    restored by adding `set commit-order = topo` to ~/.tigrc.
>  - Support staging of single lines. Bound to '1' default. (GH #21)
>  - Use +<lineno> to open the initial view at an arbitrary line. (GH #20)
>  - Add show-notes ~/.tigrc option. Notes are displayed by default.
>  - Support jumping to specific SHAs in the main view.
>  - Decorate replaced commits.
>  - Display line numbers in main view.
>  - Colorize binary diff stats. (GH #17)
>  - Custom colorization of lines matching a string prefix (GH #16).
>    Example configuration: color "Reported-by:" green default
>  - Use git's color settings for the main, status and diff views.
>    Put `set read-git-colors = no` in ~/.tigrc to disable.
>  - Handle editor options with multiple arguments. (GH #12)
>  - Show filename when running tig blame with copy detection. (GH #19)
>  - Use 'source <path>' command to load additional files from ~/.tigrc
>  - User-defined commands prefixed with '@' are run with no console
>    output, e.g.
>
>         bind generic 3 !@rm sys$command
>
>  - Make display of space changes togglable in the diff and stage view.
>    Bound to 'W' by default.
>  - Use per-file encoding specified in gitattributes(5) for blobs and
>    unstaged files.
>  - Obsolete commit-encoding option and pass --encoding=UTF-8 to revision
>    commands.
>  - Main view: show uncommitted changes as staged/unstaged commits.
>    Can be disabled by putting `set show-changes = no` in ~/.tigrc.
>  - Add %(prompt) external command variable, which will prompt for the
>    argument value.
>  - Log information about git commands when the TIG_TRACE environment
>    variable is set. Example: `TIG_TRACE=/tmp/tig.log tig`
>  - Branch view: Show the title of the last commit.
>  - Increase the author auto-abbreviation threshold to 10. (GH #49)
>  - For old commits show number of years in relative dates. (GH #50)
>
> Bug fixes:
>
>  - Fix navigation behavior when going from branch to main view. (GH #38)
>  - Fix segfault when sorting the tree view by author name.
>  - Fix diff stat navigation for unmodified files with stat changes.
>  - Show branches/refs which names are a substring of the current branch.
>  - Stage view: fix off-by-one error when jumping to a file in a diff
>    with only one file.
>  - Fix diff-header colorization. (GH #15)
