v1.8

Additions

• Branch-specific TODOs are also cached (to avoid rescanning when automatic updates are disabled. This can improve performance in large repos).
• Option magit-todos-upate-remote allows automatic scanning in remote repositories. (#157. Thanks to Angus Gratton.)

Changes

• Remote repositories are no longer automatically scanned (see new option magit-todos-update-remote).
• Option magit-todos-keyword-suffix defaults to allowing suffixes to be enclosed by parentheses or brackets (rather than just parentheses).
• Minor improvements to warnings about files containing very long lines: display as messages instead of warnings, and signal errors from outside the process sentinel.

Removals

• Obsolete option magit-todos-insert-at, replaced by option magit-todos-insert-after. (Scheduled for removal since v1.6.)

Fixes

• Disable external diff drivers when calling git diff. (#174. Thanks to Aaron Zeng.)
• The branch diff scanner was incorrectly treated as a fallback scanner. (See #186. Thanks to Karl Hallsby for reporting.)

Compatibility

• Update test for git-grep scanner compatibility for newer versions of Git. (See #186. Thanks to Karl Hallsby.)

Documentation

• Added FAQ section.

1.7.1

Fixes

• Don't run branch scanner on a branch without a merge base relative to the main branch. (#153. Thanks to Yukari Hafner for reporting.)
• Keymap parent in status buffer's to-do section. (#143. Thanks to Matthias Paulmier.)

1.7

Changed

• Improve behavior when scanner backend exits with an error. (Now an error is signaled and the command's output is shown.)
• Option magit-todos-branch-list-merge-base-ref defaults to nil, which automatically detects the default branch name using function magit-main-branch. (#151. Thanks to Aaron Zeng for reporting.)

Fixed

• Updated find|grep scanner for newer versions of GNU find that interpret some arguments differently. (Tested on v4.8.0.)
• Prevent leading ./ in filenames when used with rg scanner. (#148. Thanks to Michal Sojka for reporting.)

1.6

• Emacs 26.1 or later is now required.

Added

• Option magit-todos-submodule-list controls whether to-dos in submodules are displayed (default: off). (Thanks to Matsievskiy S.V.)
• Option magit-todos-insert-after, which replaces magit-todos-insert-at. (The new option is more flexible, and it is automatically set from the old one's value.)
• Option magit-todos-filename-filter, which can be used to shorten filenames. (Thanks to Matsievskiy S.V.)

Changed

• Option magit-todos-exclude-globs now excludes the `.git/` directory by default. (Thanks to Amorymeltzer.)
• Library org is no longer loaded automatically, but only when needed. (This can reduce load time, especially if the user's Org configuration is complex.) (#120. Thanks to Martin Edström and Johnny Sigman for suggesting.)

Fixed

• Regexp overflow error for very long lines. (#131. Thanks to Laurence Warne.)
• Option magit-todos-group-by respects buffer- and directory-local settings.
• Insertion of blank lines between expanded sections.
• Section insertion position at top of buffer and when chosen section doesn't exist. (#139. Thanks to Sascha Lüdecke for reporting.)

Removed

• Option magit-todos-insert-at, replaced by magit-todos-insert-after. (The old option will be removed in v1.8; customizations of it should be removed.)

Internal

• Define jumper keys using a Transient suffix.
• Use new git-testing function in Magit for remote directories. (#126. Thanks to Max Hollmann.)
