Release Notes

0.4.0: overflow is now level of detail. There is one picture and it always fits the window, in height as well as width: commits fold into +N pills, then pills shrink, then the grey other-branch tags go, until it fits. Enter no longer opens a folded run (no zooming). A colour key under the graph explains the boxes: orange = the two branches being compared, grey = other branches pointing at these commits. 0.3.0: the interactive picture always fits the window. Long histories fold into +N pills (more shown in wider windows); select one with the arrow keys and press Enter to open it, Esc to go back. Measures the real character size of the terminal, and trims the text below to the window height. Your local copy of a remote target branch is labelled with how far behind it is. 0.2.0: H (or -Hashes) switches commit labels between C-numbers and short hashes. Commit numbers now follow the arrows (the merge-base is always C0) even when author dates are out of order after rebases or cherry-picks. Branch names show whole up to 30 characters, in a smaller font when long. 0.1.0: first preview.
