### New features

### Fixed bugs

## 0.36.0 - 2025-12-03

### Release highlights

- The documentation has moved from https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/ to https://docs.jj-vcs.dev/.

  301 redirects are being issued towards the new domain, so any existing links should not be broken.

- Fixed race condition that could cause divergent operations when running concurrent `jj` commands in colocated repositories. It is now safe to continuously run e.g. `jj log` without `--ignore-working-copy` in one terminal while you're running other commands in another terminal. #6830

- `jj` now ignores `$PAGER` set in the environment and uses `less -FRX` on most platforms (`:builtin` on Windows). See the docs for more information, and #3502 for motivation.

### Breaking changes

- In filesets or path patterns, glob matching is enabled by default. You can use `cwd:"path"` to match literal paths.

- In the following commands, string pattern arguments are now parsed the same way they are in revsets and can be combined with logical operators: `jj bookmark delete`/`forget`/`list`/`move`, `jj tag delete`/`list`, `jj git clone`/`fetch`/`push`

- In the following commands, unmatched bookmark/tag names is no longer an error. A warning will be printed instead: `jj bookmark delete`/`forget`/`move`/`track`/`untrack`, `jj tag delete`, `jj git clone`/`push`

- The default string pattern syntax in revsets will be changed to `glob:` in a future release. You can opt in to the new default by setting `ui.revsets-use-glob-by-default=true`.

- Upgraded `scm-record` from v0.8.0 to v0.9.0. See release notes at https://github.com/arxanas/scm-record/releases/tag/v0.9.0.

- The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.89.

- On macOS, the deprecated config directory `~/Library/Application Support/jj` is not read anymore. Use `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jj` instead (defaults to `~/.config/jj`).

- Sub-repos are no longer tracked. Any directory containing `.jj` or `.git` is ignored. Note that Git submodules are unaffected by this.

### Deprecations

- The `--destination`/`-d` arguments for `jj rebase`, `jj split`, `jj revert`, etc. were renamed to `--onto`/`-o`. The reasoning is that `--onto`, `--insert-before`, and `--insert-after` are all destination arguments, so calling one of them `--destination` was confusing and unclear. The old names will be removed at some point in the future, but we realize that they are deep in muscle memory, so you can expect an unusually long deprecation period.

- `jj describe --edit` is deprecated in favor of `--editor`.

- The config options `git.auto-local-bookmark` and `git.push-new-bookmarks` are deprecated in favor of `remotes.<name>.auto-track-bookmarks`. For example:

      [remotes.origin]
      auto-track-bookmarks = "glob:*"

  For more details, refer to the docs.

- The flag `--allow-new` on `jj git push` is deprecated. In order to push new bookmarks, please track them with `jj bookmark track`. Alternatively, consider setting up an auto-tracking configuration to avoid the chore of tracking bookmarks manually. For example:

      [remotes.origin]
      auto-track-bookmarks = "glob:*"

  For more details, refer to the docs.

### New features

- `jj commit`, `jj describe`, `jj squash`, and `jj split` now accept `--editor`, which ensures an editor will be opened with the commit description even if one was provided via `--message`/`-m`.

- All `jj` commands show a warning when the provided `fileset` expression doesn't match any files.

- Added `files()` template function to `DiffStats`. This supports per-file stats like `lines_added()` and `lines_removed()`

- Added `join()` template function. This is different from `separate()` in that it adds a separator between all arguments, even if empty.

- `RepoPath` template type now has a `absolute() -> String` method that returns the absolute path as a string.

- Added `format_path(path)` template that controls how file paths are printed with `jj file list`.

- New built-in revset aliases `visible()` and `hidden()`.

- Unquoted `*` is now allowed in revsets. `bookmarks(glob:foo*)` no longer needs quoting.

- `jj prev/next --no-edit` now generates an error if the working-copy has some children.

- A new config option `remotes.<name>.auto-track-bookmarks` can be set to a string pattern. New bookmarks matching it will be automatically tracked for the specified remote. See the docs.

- `jj log` now supports a `--count` flag to print the number of commits instead of displaying them.

### Fixed bugs

- `jj fix` now prints a warning if a tool failed to run on a file. #7971

- Shell completion now works with non‑normalized paths, fixing the previous panic and allowing prefixes containing `.` or `..` to be completed correctly. #6861

- Shell completion now always uses forward slashes to complete paths, even on Windows. This renders completion results viable when using jj in Git Bash. #7024

- Unexpected keyword arguments now return a parse failure for the `coalesce()` and `concat()` templating functions.

- Nushell completion script documentation add `-f` option, to keep it up to date. #8007

- Ensured that with Git submodules, remnants of your submodules do not show up in the working copy after running `jj new`. #4349

## 0.35.0 - 2025-11-05

### Release highlights

- Workspaces can now have their own separate configuration. For instance, you can use `jj config set --workspace` to update a configuration option only in the current workspace.

- After creating a local bookmark, it is now possible to use `jj bookmark track` to associate the bookmark with a specific remote before pushing it. When pushing a tracked bookmark, it is not necessary to use `--allow-new`.

- The new `jj git colocation enable` and `jj git colocation disable` commands allow converting between colocated and non-colocated workspaces.

### Breaking changes

- The `remote_bookmarks(remote=pattern)` revset now includes Git-tracking bookmarks if the specified `pattern` matches `git`. The default is `remote=~exact:"git"` as before.

- The deprecated flag `--summary` of `jj abandon` has been removed.

- The deprecated command `jj backout` has been removed, use `jj revert` instead.

- The following deprecated config options have been removed:

  - `signing.sign-all`
  - `core.watchman.register_snapshot_trigger`
  - `diff.format`

### Deprecations

- `jj bisect run --command <cmd>` is deprecated in favor of `jj bisect run -- <cmd>`.

- `jj metaedit --update-committer-timestamp` was renamed to `jj metaedit --force-rewrite` since the old name (and help text) incorrectly suggested that the committer name and email would not be updated.

### New features

- Workspaces may have an additional layered configuration, located at `.jj/workspace-config.toml`. `jj config` subcommands which took layer options like `--repo` now also support `--workspace`.

- `jj bookmark track` can now associate new local bookmarks with remote. Tracked bookmarks can be pushed without `--allow-new`. #7072

- The new `jj git colocation` command provides sub-commands to show the colocation state (`status`), to convert a non-colocated workspace into a colocated workspace (`enable`), and vice-versa (`disable`).

- New `jj tag set`/`delete` commands to create/update/delete tags locally. Created/updated tags are currently always exported to Git as lightweight tags. If you would prefer them to be exported as annotated tags, please give us feedback on #7908.

- Templates now support a `.split(separator, [limit])` method on strings to split a string into a list of substrings.

- `-G` is now available as a short form of `--no-graph` in `jj log`, `jj evolog`, `jj op log`, `jj op show` and `jj op diff`.

- `jj metaedit` now accepts `-m`/`--message` option to non-interactively update the change description.

- The `CryptographicSignature.key()` template method now also works for SSH signatures and returns the corresponding public key fingerprint.

- Added `template-aliases.empty_commit_marker`. Users can override this value in their config to change the "(empty)" label on empty commits.

- Add support for `--when.workspaces` config scopes.

- Add support for `--when.hostnames` config scopes. This allows configuration to be conditionally applied based on the hostname set in `operation.hostname`.

- `jj bisect run` accepts the command and arguments to pass to the command directly as positional arguments, such as `jj bisect --range=..main -- cargo check --all-targets`.

- Divergent changes are no longer marked red in immutable revisions. Since the revision is immutable, the user shouldn't take any action, so the red color was unnecessarily alarming.

- New commit template keywords `local`/`remote_tags` to show only local/remote tags. These keywords may be useful in non-colocated Git repositories where local and exported `@git` tags can point to different revisions.

- `jj git clone` now supports the `--branch` option to specify the branch(es) to fetch during clone. If present, the first matching branch is used as the working-copy parent.

- Revsets now support logical operators in string patterns.

- `jj file track` now accepts an `--include-ignored` flag to track files that are ignored by `.gitignore` or exceed the `snapshot.max-new-file-size` limit. #2837

### Fixed bugs

- `jj metaedit --author-timestamp` twice with the same value no longer edits the change twice in some cases.

- `jj squash`: fixed improper revision rebase when both `--insert-after` and `--insert-before` were used.

- `jj undo` can now revert "fetch"/"import" operation that involves tag updates. #6325

- Fixed parsing of `files(expr)` revset expression including parentheses. #7747

- Fixed `jj describe --stdin` to append a final newline character.

## 0.34.0 - 2025-10-01

### Release highlights

- Support for uploading changes to Gerrit Code Review with `jj gerrit upload`. This lets you submit trees or multiple stacks of work at once. Support for fetching changes, submitting changes, and other operations is not yet implemented. This should be considered experimental, and we welcome feedback on using it.

- Support for automated bisection using `jj bisect run`; this will continuously bisect a commit range until a given commit is found to trigger a bug.

### Breaking changes

- Git-based repositories are now colocated by default. Configure `git.colocate = false` to keep the previous behavior.

- Conflicts written by jj < 0.11 are no longer supported. They will now appear as regular files with a `.jjconflict` suffix and JSON contents.

- The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.88.

### Deprecations

- Various flags on `jj describe` and `jj commit` have been deprecated in favor of `jj metaedit`. They are:

  - `describe`: `--author`, `--reset-author`, `--no-edit`
  - `commit`: `--author`, `--reset-author`

- The storage format of remote bookmarks and tags has changed. Remote bookmarks will be written in both old and new formats to retain forward compatibility. Git-tracking tags are also recorded for future native tagging support. This change should be transparent, but let us know if you see anything odd.

### New features

- The new command `jj bisect run` uses binary search to find a commit that introduced a bug.

- The default editor on Unix is now `nano` instead of `pico`.

- New config option `merge.hunk-level = "word"` to enable word-level merging.

- New config option `merge.same-change = "keep"` to disable lossy resolution rule for same-change conflicts. #6369

- Templates now support a `replace()` method on strings for pattern-based string replacement with optional limits. Supports all string patterns, including regex with capture groups (e.g. `"hello world".replace(regex:'(\w+) (\w+)', "$2 $1")`).

- A new builtin `hyperlink(url, text)` template alias creates clickable hyperlinks using OSC8 escape sequences for terminals that support them.

- Added a new conditional configuration `--when.platforms` to include settings only on certain platforms.

- External diff commands now support substitution variable `$width` for the number of available terminal columns.

- The new `jj gerrit upload` command allows you to upload given revisions to an instance of Gerrit Code Review.

- `jj bookmark create/set/move` use the working copy as a default again and no longer require an explicit revision argument. This walks back a deprecation from `jj 0.26`, as the community feedback was mostly negative. Instead, bookmarking an empty revision now produces a warning, to help you catch the case where you meant to bookmark the parent revision.

- The revset function `exactly(x, n)` will now evaluate `x` and error if it does not have exactly `n` elements.

- `jj util exec` now matches the exit status of the program it runs, and doesn't print anything.

- `jj config get` now supports displaying array and table config values.

- `jj util exec` sets the environment variable `JJ_WORKSPACE_ROOT`

### Fixed bugs

- Fetching repositories that have submodules no longer errors even if `submodule.recurse=true` is set in `.gitconfig` (but jj still isn't able to fetch the submodules or to operate on them).

## 0.33.0 - 2025-09-03

### Release highlights

- `jj undo` is now sequential: invoking it multiple times in sequence repeatedly undoes actions in the operation log. Previously, `jj undo` would only undo the most recent operation in the operation log. As a result, a new `jj redo` command has been added.

- Experimental support for improving query performance over filesets and file queries (like `jj log path/to/file.txt`) has been added. This is not enabled by default. To enable this, you must use the `jj debug index-changed-paths` command.

### Breaking changes

- `jj evolog` templates now accept `CommitEvolutionEntry` as context type. To get `Commit` properties, use `commit.<method>()`. To customize the default output, set `templates.evolog` instead of `templates.log`.

- `jj op show` now uses `templates.op_show` configuration for its default template instead of `templates.op_log`.

- The deprecated config option `git.auto-local-branch` has been removed. Use `git.auto-local-bookmark` instead.

- The deprecated `Signature.username()` template method has been removed. Use `Signature.email().local()` instead.

- The deprecated `--config-toml` flag has been removed. Use `--config=NAME=VALUE` or `--config-file=PATH` instead.

- `jj undo` can now undo multiple operations progressively by calling it repeatedly, whereas previously, running `jj undo` twice was previously a no-op (it only undid the last change).

- `jj git fetch` will now only fetch the refspec patterns configured on remotes when the `--bookmark` option is omitted. Only simple refspec patterns are currently supported, and anything else (like refspecs which rename branches) will be ignored.

- The `conflict` label used for coloring log graph nodes was renamed to `conflicted`.

### Deprecations

- The on-disk index format has changed. `jj` will write index files in both old and new formats, so old `jj` versions should be able to read these index files. This compatibility layer will be removed in a future release.

- `jj op undo` is deprecated in favor of `jj op revert`. (`jj undo` is still available, but with new semantics. See also the breaking changes above.)

- The argument `<operation>` of `jj undo` is deprecated in favor of `jj op revert <operation>`.

- The `--what` flag on `jj undo` is deprecated. Consider using `jj op restore --what` instead.

### New features

- The new command `jj redo` can progressively redo operations that were previously undone by multiple calls to `jj undo`.

- Templates now support `any()` and `all()` methods on lists to check whether any or all elements satisfy a predicate. Example: `parents.any(|c| c.mine())` returns true if any parent commit is authored by the user.

- Add experimental support for indexing changed paths, which will speed up `jj log PATH` query, `jj file annotate`, etc. The changed-path index can be enabled by `jj debug index-changed-paths` command. Indexing may take tens of minutes depending on the number of merge commits. The indexing command UI is subject to change. #4674

- `jj config list` now supports `-T'json(self) ++ "\n"'` serialization output.

- `jj file show` now accepts `-T`/`--template` option to insert file metadata.

- The template language now allows arbitrary whitespace between any operators.

- The new configuration option `git.colocate=boolean` controls whether or not Git repositories are colocated by default.

- Both `jj git clone` and `jj git init` now take a `--no-colocate` flag to disable colocation (in case `git.colocate` is set to `true`.)

- `jj git remote add` and `jj git clone` now support `--fetch-tags` to control when tags are fetched for all subsequent fetches.

- `jj git fetch` now supports `--tracked` to fetch only tracked bookmarks.

- `jj diff --stat` now shows the change in size to binary files.

- `jj interdiff`, `jj evolog -p`, and `jj op log -p` now show diff of commit descriptions.

- `jj log` and `jj op log` output can now be anonymized with the `builtin_log_redacted` and `builtin_op_log_redacted` templates.

- `jj git init` now checks for an `upstream` remote in addition to `origin` when setting the repository-level `trunk()` alias. The `upstream` remote takes precedence over `origin` if both exist.

- Add the `jj metaedit` command, which modifies a revision's metadata. This can be used to generate a new change-id, which may help resolve some divergences. It also has options to modify author name, email and timestamp, as well as to modify committer timestamp.

- Filesets now support case-insensitive glob patterns with the `glob-i:`, `cwd-glob-i:`, and `root-glob-i:` pattern kinds. For example, `glob-i:"*.rs"` will match both `file.rs` and `FILE.RS`.

- `jj op show` now accepts `-T`/`--template` option to customize the operation output using template expressions, similar to `jj op log`. Also added `--no-op-diff` flag to suppress the operation diff.

- A nearly identical string pattern system as revsets is now supported in the template language, and is exposed as `string.match(pattern)`.

- Merge tools can use the `$path` argument to learn where the file they are merging will end up in the repository.

### Fixed bugs

- `jj git clone` now correctly fetches all tags, unless `--fetch-tags` is explicitly specified, in which case the specified option will apply for both the initial clone and subsequent fetches.

- Operation and working-copy state files are now synchronized to disk on save. This will mitigate data corruption on system crash. #4423

### Packaging changes

- The test suite no longer optionally uses Taplo CLI or jq, and packagers can remove them as dependencies if present.

## 0.32.0 - 2025-08-06

### Breaking changes

- In revsets, symbol expressions (such as change ID prefix) no longer resolve to multiple revisions, and error out if resolved to more than one revisions. Use `change_id(prefix)` or `bookmarks(exact:name)` to query divergent changes or conflicted bookmarks. Commands like `jj rebase` no longer require `all:` to specify multiple destination revisions.

- `jj op abandon` now discards previous versions of a change (or predecessors) if they become unreachable from the operation history. The evolution history is truncated accordingly.

  Once `jj op abandon` and `jj util gc` are run in a repository, old versions of `jj` might get "commit not found" error on `jj evolog`.

- `commit.working_copies()` template method now returns `List<WorkspaceRef>`

- The previously predefined `amend` alias has been removed. You can restore it by setting the config `aliases.amend = ["squash"]`.

### Deprecations

- The `all:` revset modifier and `ui.always-allow-large-revsets` setting is planned to be removed in a future release. #6016

- Rename the `core.fsmonitor` and `core.watchman` settings to `fsmonitor.backend`, and `fsmonitor.watchman` respectively.

### New features

- `jj workspace list` now accepts `-T`/`--template` option to customize its output via templates.

- Added `templates.workspace_list` template to customize the output of `jj workspace list`.

- `jj fix` now buffers the standard error stream from subprocesses and emits the output from each all at once. The file name is printed before the output.

- `jj status` now collapses fully untracked directories into one line. It still fully traverses them while snapshotting but they won't clutter up the output with all of their contents.

- Add the `working-copy.eol-conversion` config which is similar to the git `core.autocrlf` config. A heuristics is used to detect if a file is a binary file to prevent the EOL conversion from changing binary files unexpectedly.

- Add a `.parents()` method to the `Operation` type in the templating language.

- Merge tools config can now explicitly forbid using them as diff editors or diff formatters. Built-in tools that do not function well as diff editing tools or as diff formatters will now report an error when used as such.

- `jj diffedit` now accepts filesets to edit only the specified paths.

- AnnotationLine objects in templates now have a `original_line_number() -> Integer` method.

- Commit templates now support `.files()` to list all existing files at that revision.

- Glob patterns now support `{foo,bar}` syntax. There may be subtle behavior changes as we use the globset library now.

- The new `bisect(x)` revset function can help bisect a range of commits to find when a bug was introduced.

- New `first_parent()` and `first_ancestors()` revset functions which are similar to `parents()` and `ancestors()`, but only traverse the first parent of each commit (similar to Git's `--first-parent` option).

- New `signing.backends.ssh.revocation-list` config for specifying a list of revoked public keys for commit signature verification.

- `jj fix` commands now replace `$root` with the workspace's root path. This is useful for tools stored inside the workspace.

### Fixed bugs

- Fixed an error in `jj util gc` caused by the empty blob being missing from the Git store. #7062

- `jj op diff -p` and `jj op log -p` now show content diffs from the first predecessor only. #7090

- `jj git fetch` no longer shows `NaN%` progress when connecting to slow remotes. #7155

## 0.31.0 - 2025-07-02

### Breaking changes

- Revset expressions like `hidden_id | description(x)` now search the specified hidden revision and its ancestors as well as all visible revisions.

- Commit templates no longer normalize `description` by appending final newline character. Use `description.trim_end() ++ "\n"` if needed.

### Deprecations

- The `git.push-bookmark-prefix` setting is deprecated in favor of `templates.git_push_bookmark`, which supports templating. The old setting can be expressed in template as `"<prefix>" ++ change_id.short()`.

### New features

- New `change_id(prefix)`/`commit_id(prefix)` revset functions to explicitly query commits by change/commit ID prefix.

- The `parents()` and `children()` revset functions now accept an optional `depth` argument. For instance, `parents(x, 3)` is equivalent to `x---`, and `children(x, 3)` is equivalent to `x+++`.

- `jj evolog` can now follow changes from multiple revisions such as divergent revisions.

- `jj diff` now accepts `-T`/`--template` option to customize summary output.

- Log node templates are now specified in toml rather than hardcoded.

- Templates now support `json(x)` function to serialize values in JSON format.

- The ANSI 256-color palette can be used when configuring colors. For example, `colors."diff removed token" = { bg = "ansi-color-52", underline = false }` will apply a dark red background on removed words in diffs.

### Fixed bugs

- `jj file annotate` can now process files at a hidden revision.

- `jj op log --op-diff` no longer fails at displaying "reconcile divergent operations." #4465

- `jj util gc --expire=now` now passes the corresponding flag to `git gc`.

- `change_id`/`commit_id.shortest()` template functions now take conflicting bookmark and tag names into account. #2416

- Fixed lockfile issue on stale file handles observed with NFS.

### Packaging changes

- `aarch64-windows` builds (release binaries and `main` snapshots) are now provided.

## 0.30.0 - 2025-06-04

### Release highlights

- The experimental support from release 0.29.0 for transferring the change ID to/from Git remotes has been enabled by default. The change ID is stored in the Git commit itself (in a commit header called `change-id`), which means it will be transferred by regular `git push` etc. Please let us know if you run into any problems with it. You can disable it setting `git.write-change-id-header`. Note that some Git remotes (e.g GitLab) and some Git commands (e.g. `git rebase`) do not preserve the change ids when they rewrite commits.

- `jj rebase` now automatically abandons divergent commits if another commit with the same change ID is already present in the destination with identical changes.

- `jj split` has gained `--message`, `--insert-before`, `--insert-after`, and `--destination` options.

- `jj evolog` can show associated operations for commits created by new jj versions.

### Breaking changes

- The old `libgit2` code path for fetches and pushes has been removed, and the `git.subprocess` setting along with it.

- In templates, bookmark/tag/remote names are now formatted in revset symbol notation. The type of `bookmark.remote()` is changed to `Option<_>`. `bookmark.remote() == "foo"` still works, but `bookmark.remote().<method>()` might need `if(bookmark.remote(), ..)` to suppress error.

- `jj rebase` now automatically abandons divergent commits if another commit with the same change ID is already present in the destination with identical changes. To keep these divergent commits, use the `--keep-divergent` flag.

- The deprecated `--skip-empty` flag for `jj rebase` has been removed. Use the `--skip-emptied` flag instead.

- The deprecated `jj branch` subcommands have been removed. Use the `jj bookmark` subcommands instead.

- `jj util completion` now requires the name of the shell as a positional argument and no longer produces Bash completions by default. The deprecated optional arguments for different shells have been removed.

- External diff tools are now run in the temporary directory containing the before (`left`) and after (`right`) directories, making diffs appear more pleasing for tools that display file paths prominently. Users can opt out of this by setting `merge-tools.<tool>.diff-do-chdir = false`, but this will likely be removed in a future release. Please report any issues you run into.

- The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.85.0.

### Deprecations

- The `ui.diff.format` and `ui.diff.tool` config options have been merged as `ui.diff-formatter`. The builtin format can be specified as `:<format>` (e.g. `ui.diff-formatter=":git"` for Git diffs.)

- The `.normal_hex()` method will be removed from the `CommitId` template type. It's useful only for the `ChangeId` type.

### New features

- `jj split` has gained a `--message` option to set the description of the commit with the selected changes.

- `jj split` has gained the ability to place the revision with the selected changes anywhere in the revision tree with the `--insert-before`, `--insert-after` and `--destination` command line flags.

- Added `git.track-default-bookmark-on-clone` setting to control whether to track the default remote bookmark on `jj git clone`.

- Templates can now do arithmetic on integers with the `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, and `%` infix operators.

- Evolution history is now stored in the operation log. `jj evolog` can show associated operations for commits created by new jj versions.

### Fixed bugs

- Work around a git issue that could cause subprocess operations to hang if the `core.fsmonitor` gitconfig is set in the global or system gitconfigs. #6440

- `jj parallelize` can now parallelize groups of changes that start with an immutable change, but do not contain any other immutable changes.

- `jj` will no longer warn about deprecated paths on macOS if the configured XDG directory is the deprecated one (~/Library/Application Support).

- The builtin diff editor now correctly handles splitting changes where a file is replaced by a directory of the same name. #5189

### Packaging changes

- Due to the removal of the `libgit2` code path, packagers should remove any dependencies on `libgit2`, `libssh2`, Zlib, OpenSSL, and `pkg-config`, and ensure they are not setting the Cargo `git2` or `vendored-openssl` features.

## 0.29.0 - 2025-05-07

### Release highlights

- Experimental support for transferring the change ID to/from Git remotes behind configuration setting `git.write-change-id-header`. If this is enabled, the change ID will be stored in the Git commit itself (in a commit header called `change-id`), which means it will be transferred by regular `git push` etc. This is an evolving feature that currently defaults to "false". This default will likely change in the future as we gain confidence with forge support and user expectations.

### Breaking changes

- `jj git push -c`/`--change` no longer moves existing local bookmarks.

- The `editor-*.jjdescription` files passed to your editor by e.g. `jj describe` are now written to your system's temporary directory instead of `.jj/repo/`.

### Deprecations

- `git.subprocess = false` has been deprecated, and the old `libgit2` code path for fetches and pushes will be removed entirely in 0.30. Please report any remaining issues you have with the Git subprocessing path.

- `ui.default-description` has been deprecated, and will be migrated to `template-aliases.default_commit_description`. Please also consider using `templates.draft_commit_description`, and/or `templates.commit_trailers`.

- On macOS, config.toml files in `~/Library/Application Support/jj` are deprecated; one should instead use `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jj` (defaults to `~/.config/jj`)

### New features

- Color-words diff has gained an option to compare conflict pairs without materializing.

- `jj show` patches can now be suppressed with `--no-patch`.

- Added `ui.bookmark-list-sort-keys` setting to configure default sort keys for the `jj bookmark list` command.

- New `signed` revset function to filter for cryptographically signed commits.

- `jj describe`, `jj commit`, `jj new`, `jj squash` and `jj split` add the commit trailers, configured in the `commit_trailers` template, to the commit description. Use cases include DCO Sign Off and Gerrit Change Id.

- Added `duplicate_description` template, which allows customizing the descriptions of the commits `jj duplicate` creates.

- `jj absorb` can now squash a deleted file if it was added by one of the destination revisions.

- Added `ui.streampager.show-ruler` setting to configure whether the ruler should be shown when the builtin pager starts up.

- `jj git fetch` now warns instead of erroring for unknown `git.fetch` remotes if other remotes are available.

- Commit objects in templates now have `trailers() -> List<Trailer>`, the Trailer objects have `key() -> String` and `value() -> String`.

- `jj config edit` will now roll back to previous version if a syntax error has been introduced in the new config.

- When using dynamic command-line completion, revision names will be completed in more complex expressions. For example, typing `jj log -r first-bookmark..sec` and then pressing Tab could complete the expression to `first-bookmark..second-bookmark`.

### Fixed bugs

- Fixed crash on change-delete conflict resolution. #6250

- The builtin diff editor now tries to preserve unresolved conflicts. #4963

- Fixed bash and zsh shell completion when completing aliases of multiple arguments. #5377

### Packaging changes

- Jujutsu now uses `zlib-rs`, a fast compression library written in Rust. Packagers should remove any dependency on CMake and drop the `packaging` Cargo feature.

## 0.28.0 - 2025-04-02

### Release highlights

- jj's configuration can now be split into multiple files more easily.

- `jj resolve` now accepts built-in tools `:ours` and `:theirs`.

- In colocated repos, newly-created files will now appear in `git diff`.

- A long-standing bug relating to empty files in the built-in diff editor was fixed. #3702

### Breaking changes

- The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.84.0.

- The `git.push-branch-prefix` config has been removed in favor of `git.push-bookmark-prefix`.

- `jj abandon` no longer supports `--summary` to suppress the list of abandoned commits. The list won't show more than 10 commits to not clutter the console.

- `jj unsquash` has been removed in favor of `jj squash` and `jj diffedit --restore-descendants`.

- The `jj untrack` subcommand has been removed in favor of `jj file untrack`.

- The following deprecated revset functions have been removed:

  - `branches()`, `remote_branches()`, `tracked_remote_branches()`, and `untracked_remote_branches()`, which were renamed to "bookmarks".
  - `file()` and `conflict()`, which were renamed to plural forms.
  - `files(x, y, ..)` with multiple patterns. Use `files(x|y|..)` instead.

- The following deprecated template functions have been removed:

  - `branches()`, `local_branches()`, and `remote_branches()`, which were renamed to "bookmarks".

- The flags `--all` and `--tracked` on `jj git push` by themself do not cause deleted bookmarks to be pushed anymore, as an additional safety measure. They can now be combined with `--deleted` instead.

### Deprecations

- `core.watchman.register_snapshot_trigger` has been renamed to `core.watchman.register-snapshot-trigger` for consistency with other configuration options.

- `jj backout` is deprecated in favor of `jj revert`.

### New features

- `jj sign` can now sign with PKCS#12 certificates through the `gpgsm` backend.

- `jj sign` will automatically use the gpg key associated with the author's email in the absence of a `signing.key` configuration.

- Multiple user configs are now supported and are loaded in the following precedence order:

  - `$HOME/.jjconfig.toml`
  - `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jj/config.toml`
  - `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jj/conf.d/*.toml`

- The `JJ_CONFIG` environment variable can now contain multiple paths separated by a colon (or semicolon on Windows).

- The command `jj config list` now supports showing the origin of each variable via the `builtin_config_list_detailed` template.

- `jj config {edit,set,unset}` now prompt when multiple config files are found.

- `jj diff -r` now allows multiple revisions (as long as there are no gaps in the revset), such as `jj diff -r 'mutable()'`.

- `jj git push` now accepts a `--named NAME=REVISION` argument to create a named bookmark and immediately push it.

- The 'how to resolve conflicts' hint that is shown when conflicts appear can be hidden by setting `hints.resolving-conflicts = false`.

- `jj op diff` and `jj op log --op-diff` now show changes to which commits correspond to working copies.

- `jj op log -d` is now an alias for `jj op log --op-diff`.

- `jj bookmark move --to/--from` can now be abbreviated to `jj bookmark move -t/-f`

- `jj bookmark list` now supports `--sort` option. Similar to `git branch --sort`. See `jj bookmark list --help` for more details.

- A new command `jj revert` is added, which is similar to `jj backout` but adds the `--destination`, `--insert-after`, and `--insert-before` options to customize the location of reverted commits.

- A new command `jj git root` is added, which prints the location of the Git directory of a repository using the Git backend.

- In colocated repos, any files that jj considers added in the working copy will now show up in `git diff` (as if you had run `git add --intent-to-add` on them).

- Reversing colors is now supported. For example, to highlight words by reversing colors rather than underlining, you can set `colors."diff token"={ underline = false, reverse = true }` in your config.

- Added `revsets.log-graph-prioritize`, which can be used to configure which branch in the `jj log` graph is displayed on the left instead of `@` (e.g. `coalesce(description("megamerge\n"), trunk())`)

- `jj resolve` now accepts new built-in merge tools `:ours` and `:theirs`. These merge tools accept side #1 and side #2 of the conflict respectively.

### Fixed bugs

- `jj log -p --stat` now shows diff stats as well as the default color-words/git diff output. #5986

- The built-in diff editor now correctly handles deleted files. #3702

- The built-in diff editor now correctly retains the executable bit on newly added files when splitting. #3846

- `jj config set`/`--config` value parsing rule is relaxed in a way that unquoted apostrophes are allowed. #5748

- `jj fix` could previously create new conflicts when a descendant of a fixed revision was already correctly formatted.

## 0.27.0 - 2025-03-05

### Release highlights

- `git.subprocess` is now enabled by default, improving compatibility with Git fetches and pushes by spawning an external `git` process. Users can opt out of this by setting `git.subprocess = false`, but this will likely be removed in a future release. Please report any issues you run into.

### Breaking changes

- Bookmark name to be created/updated is now parsed as a revset symbol. Quotation may be needed in addition to shell quotes. Example: `jj bookmark create -r@- "'name with space'"`

- `jj bookmark create`, `jj bookmark set` and `jj bookmark move` onto a hidden commit make it visible.

- `jj bookmark forget` now untracks any corresponding remote bookmarks instead of forgetting them, since forgetting a remote bookmark can be unintuitive. The old behavior is still available with the new `--include-remotes` flag.

- `jj fix` now always sets the working directory of invoked tools to be the workspace root, instead of the working directory of the `jj fix`.

- The `ui.allow-filesets` configuration option has been removed. The "fileset" language has been enabled by default since v0.20.

- `templates.annotate_commit_summary` is renamed to `templates.file_annotate`, and now has an implicit `self` parameter of type `AnnotationLine`, instead of `Commit`. All methods on `Commit` can be accessed with `commit.method()`, or `self.commit().method()`.

### Deprecations

- This release takes the first steps to make target revision required in `bookmark create`, `bookmark move` and `bookmark set`. Those commands will display a warning if the user does not specify target revision explicitly. In the near future those commands will fail if target revision is not specified.

- The `signing.sign-all` config option has been deprecated in favor of `signing.behavior`. The new option accepts `drop` (never sign), `keep` (preserve existing signatures), `own` (sign own commits), or `force` (sign all commits). Existing `signing.sign-all = true` translates to `signing.behavior = "own"`, and `false` translates to `"keep"`. Invalid configuration is now an error.

### New features

- The new `jj sign` and `jj unsign` commands allow for signing/unsigning commits. `jj sign` supports configuring the default revset through `revsets.sign` when no `--revisions` arguments are provided.

- `jj git fetch` now supports string pattern syntax on `--remote` option and `git.fetch` configuration.

- Template functions `truncate_start()` and `truncate_end()` gained an optional `ellipsis` parameter; passing this prepends or appends the ellipsis to the content if it is truncated to fit the maximum width.

- Templates now support `stringify(x)` function and string method `.escape_json()`. The latter serializes the string in JSON format. It is useful for making machine-readable templates by escaping problematic characters like `\n`.

- Templates now support `trim()`, `trim_start()` and `trim_end()` methods which remove whitespace from the start and end of a `String` type.

- The description of commits backed out by `jj backout` can now be configured using `templates.backout_description`.

- New `AnnotationLine` templater type. Used in `templates.file_annotate`. Provides `self.commit()`, `.content()`, `.line_number()`, and `.first_line_in_hunk()`.

- Templates now have `format_short_operation_id(id)` function for users to customize the default operation id representation.

- The `jj init`/`jj revert` stubs that print errors can now be overridden with aliases. All of `jj clone/init/revert` add a hint to a generic error.

- Help text is now colored (when stdout is a terminal).

- Commands that used to suggest `--ignore-immutable` now print the number of immutable commits that would be rewritten if used and a link to the docs.

- `jj undo` now shows a hint when undoing an undo operation that the user may be looking for `jj op restore` instead.

### Fixed bugs

- `jj status` now shows untracked files under untracked directories. #5389

- Added workaround for the bug that untracked files are ignored when watchman is enabled. #5728

- The `signing.backends.ssh.allowed-signers` configuration option will now expand `~/` to `$HOME/`. #5626

- `config-schema.json` now allows arrays of strings for the settings `ui.editor` and `ui.diff.tool`.

- `config-schema.json` now allows an array of strings or nested table for the `ui.pager` setting.

## 0.26.0 - 2025-02-05

### Release highlights

- Improved Git push/fetch compatibility by spawning an external `git` process. This can be enabled by the `git.subprocess=true` config knob, and will be the default in a future release.

- `jj log` can now show cryptographic commit signatures. The output can be controlled by the `ui.show-cryptographic-signatures=true` config knob.

### Breaking changes

- `jj abandon` now deletes bookmarks pointing to the revisions to be abandoned. Use `--retain-bookmarks` to move bookmarks backwards. If deleted bookmarks were tracking remote bookmarks, the associated bookmarks (or branches) will be deleted from the remote on `jj git push --all`. #3505

- `jj init --git` and `jj init --git-repo` have been removed. They were deprecated in early 2024. Use `jj git init` instead.

- The following deprecated commands have been removed:

  - `jj cat` is replaced by `jj file show`.
  - `jj chmod` is replaced by `jj file chmod`.
  - `jj files` is replaced by `jj file list`.

- The deprecated `-l` short alias for `--limit` in `jj log`, `jj op log` and `jj obslog` has been removed. The `-n` short alias can be used instead.

- The deprecated `--siblings` options for `jj split` has been removed. `jj split --parallel` can be used instead.

- The deprecated `fix.tool-command` config option has been removed.

- In colocated repos, the Git index now contains the changes from all parents of the working copy instead of just the first parent (`HEAD`). 2-sided conflicts from the merged parents are now added to the Git index as conflicts as well.

- The following change introduced in 0.25.0 is reverted:

  - `jj config list` now prints inline tables `{ key = value, .. }` literally. Inner items of inline tables are no longer merged across configuration files.

- `jj resolve` will now attempt to resolve all conflicted files instead of resolving the first conflicted file. To resolve a single file, pass a file path to `jj resolve`.

- `jj util mangen` is replaced with `jj util install-man-pages`, which can install man pages for all `jj` subcommands to a given path.

- In `jj config list` template, `value` is now typed as `ConfigValue`, not as `String` serialized in TOML syntax.

- `jj git remote add`/`set-url` now converts relative Git remote path to absolute path.

- `jj log`/`op log` now applies `-n`/`--limit` before the items are reversed. Rationale: It's more useful to see the N most recent commits/operations, and is more performant. The old behavior can be achieved by `jj log .. | head`. #5403

- Upgraded `scm-record` from v0.4.0 to v0.5.0. See release notes at https://github.com/arxanas/scm-record/releases/tag/v0.5.0.

- The builtin pager is switched to streampager. It can handle large inputs better and can be configured.

- Conflicts materialized in the working copy before `jj 0.19.0` may no longer be parsed correctly. If you are using version 0.18.0 or earlier, check out a non-conflicted commit before upgrading to prevent issues.

### Deprecations

### New features

- `jj git {push,clone,fetch}` can now spawn an external `git` subprocess, via the `git.subprocess = true` config knob. This provides an alternative that, when turned on, fixes SSH bugs when interacting with Git remotes due to `libgit2`s limitations #4979.

- `jj describe` now accepts `--edit`.

- `jj evolog` and `jj op log` now accept `--reversed`.

- `jj restore` now supports `-i`/`--interactive` selection.

- `jj file list` now supports templating.

- There is a new `builtin_op_log_oneline` template alias you can pass to `jj op log -T` for a more compact output. You can use `format_operation_oneline` and `format_snapshot_operation_oneline` to customize parts of it.

- New template function `config(name)` to access to configuration variable from template.

- New template function `pad_centered()` to center content within a minimum width.

- Templater now supports `list.filter(|x| ..)` method.

- The `diff` commit template keyword now supports custom formatting via `diff.files()`. For example, `diff.files().map(|e| e.path().display())` prints changed file paths.

- The `diff.stat()` template method now provides methods to get summary values.

- `jj log` can now show cryptographic commit signatures. The output can be controlled by the `ui.show-cryptographic-signatures=true` config knob. The signature template can be customized using `format_detailed_cryptographic_signature(signature)` and `format_short_cryptographic_signature(signature)`.

- New `git.sign-on-push` config option to automatically sign commits which are being pushed to a Git remote.

- New `git.push-new-bookmarks` config option to push new bookmarks without `--allow-new`.

- `jj status` now shows untracked files when they reside directly under a tracked directory. There's still an issue that files under untracked directories aren't listed. #5389

- New `merge-tools.<TOOL>.diff-expected-exit-codes` config option to suppress warnings from tools exiting with non-zero exit codes.

- New `fix.tools.TOOL.enabled` config option to enable/disable tools. This is useful for defining disabled tools in user configuration that can be enabled in individual repositories with one config setting.

- Added `--into` flag to `jj restore`, similarly to `jj squash` and `jj absorb`. It is equivalent to `--to`, but `--into` is the recommended name.

- Italic text is now supported. You can set e.g. `colors.error = { fg = "red", italic = true }` in your config.

- New `author_name`/`author_email`/`committer_name`/`committer_email(pattern)` revset functions to match either name or email field explicitly.

- New `subject(pattern)` revset function that matches first line of commit descriptions.

- Conditional configuration now supports `--when.commands` to change configuration based on subcommand.

- The Jujutsu documentation site now publishes a schema for the official configuration file, which can be integrated into your editor for autocomplete, inline errors, and more. Please see the documentation for more on this.

### Fixed bugs

- `jj git fetch` with multiple remotes will now fetch from all remotes before importing refs into the jj repo. This fixes a race condition where the treatment of a commit that is found in multiple fetch remotes depended on the order the remotes were specified.

- Fixed diff selection by external tools with `jj split`/`commit -i FILESETS`. #5252

- Conditional configuration now applies when initializing new repository. #5144

- `[diff.<format>]` configuration now applies to `.diff().<format>()` commit template methods.

- Conflicts at the end of files which don't end with a newline character are now materialized in a way that can be parsed correctly. #3968

- Bookmark and remote names written by `jj git clone` to `revset-aliases.'trunk()'` are now escaped if necessary. #5359

## 0.25.0 - 2025-01-01

### Release highlights

It's the holidays, and this release was overall pretty quiet, without many major changes. Two select improvements:

- Improvements to configuration management, including support for conditional variables in config files.

- Large files in the working copy will no longer cause commands to fail; instead the large files will remain intact but untracked in the working copy.

### Breaking changes

- Configuration variables are no longer "stringly" typed. For example, `true` is not converted to a string `"true"`, and vice versa.

- The following configuration variables are now parsed strictly: `colors.<labels>`, `git.abandon-unreachable-commits`, `git.auto-local-bookmark`, `git.push-bookmark-prefix`, `revsets.log`, `revsets.short-prefixes`, `signing.backend`, `operation.hostname`, `operation.username`, `ui.allow-init-native`, `ui.color`, `ui.default-description`, `ui.progress-indicator`, `ui.quiet`, `user.email`, `user.name`

- `jj config list` now prints inline tables `{ key = value, .. }` literally. Inner items of inline tables are no longer merged across configuration files. See the table syntax documentation for details.

- `jj config edit --user` now opens a file even if `$JJ_CONFIG` points to a directory. If there are multiple config files, the command will fail.

- `jj config set` no longer accepts a bare string value that looks like a TOML expression. For example, `jj config set NAME '[foo]'` must be quoted as `jj config set NAME '"[foo]"'`.

- The deprecated `[alias]` config section is no longer respected. Move command aliases to the `[aliases]` section.

- `jj absorb` now abandons the source commit if it becomes empty and has no description.

### Deprecations

- `--config-toml=TOML` is deprecated in favor of `--config=NAME=VALUE` and `--config-file=PATH`.

- The `Signature.username()` template method is deprecated for `Signature.email().local()`.

### New features

- `jj` command no longer fails due to new working-copy files larger than the `snapshot.max-new-file-size` config option. It will print a warning and large files will be left untracked.

- Configuration files now support conditional variables.

- New command options `--config=NAME=VALUE` and `--config-file=PATH` to set string value without quoting and to load additional configuration from files.

- Templates now support the `>=`, `>`, `<=`, and `<` relational operators for `Integer` types.

- A new Email template type is added. `Signature.email()` now returns an Email template type instead of a String.

- Adds a new template alias `commit_timestamp(commit)` which defaults to the committer date.

- Conflict markers are now allowed to be longer than 7 characters, allowing conflicts to be materialized and parsed correctly in files which already contain lines that look like conflict markers.

- New `$marker_length` variable to allow merge tools to support longer conflict markers (equivalent to "%L" for Git merge drivers).

- `jj describe` now accepts a `JJ: ignore-rest` line that ignores everything below it, similar to a "scissor line" in git. When editing multiple commits, only ignore until the next `JJ: describe` line.

### Fixed bugs

- The `$NO_COLOR` environment variable must now be non-empty to be respected.

- Fixed incompatible rendering of empty hunks in git/unified diffs. #5049

- Fixed performance of progress bar rendering when fetching from Git remote. #5057

- `jj config path --user` no longer creates new file at the default config path.

- On Windows, workspace paths (printed by `jj root`) no longer use UNC-style `\\?\` paths unless necessary.

- On Windows, `jj git clone` now converts local Git remote path to slash-separated path.

- `jj resolve` no longer removes the executable bit on resolved files when using an external merge tool.

## 0.24.0 - 2024-12-04

### Release highlights

- New `jj absorb` command automatically squashes changes from the current commit into relevant ancestor commits.

- Experimental dynamic shell completions have been added; see the docs for configuration.

- `jj duplicate` now accepts `--destination`/`--insert-before`/`--insert-after`.

- Some deprecated commands have been removed (`jj move`, `jj checkout`, `jj merge`).

### Breaking changes

- `jj move` has been removed. It was deprecated in 0.16.0.

- `jj checkout` and the built-in alias `jj co` have been removed. It was deprecated in 0.14.0.

- `jj merge` has been removed. It was deprecated in 0.14.0.

- `jj git push` no longer pushes new bookmarks by default. Use `--allow-new` to bypass this restriction.

- Lines prefixed with "JJ:" in commit descriptions and in sparse patterns (from `jj sparse edit`) are now stripped even if they are not immediately followed by a space. #5004

### Deprecations

### New features

- Templates now support the `==` and `!=` logical operators for `Boolean`, `Integer`, and `String` types.

- New command `jj absorb` that moves changes to stack of mutable revisions.

- New command `jj util exec` that can be used for arbitrary aliases.

- `jj rebase -b` can now be used with the `--insert-after` and `--insert-before` options, like `jj rebase -r` and `jj rebase -s`.

- A preview of improved shell completions was added. Please refer to the documentation to activate them. They additionally complete context-dependent, dynamic values like bookmarks, aliases, revisions, operations and files.

- Added the config setting `snapshot.auto-update-stale` for automatically running `jj workspace update-stale` when applicable.

- `jj duplicate` now accepts `--destination`, `--insert-after` and `--insert-before` options to customize the location of the duplicated revisions.

- `jj log` now displays the working-copy branch first.

- New `fork_point()` revset function can be used to obtain the fork point of multiple commits.

- The `tags()` revset function now takes an optional `pattern` argument, mirroring that of `bookmarks()`.

- Several commands now support `-f/-t` shorthands for `--from/--to`:

  - `diff`
  - `diffedit`
  - `interdiff`
  - `op diff`
  - `restore`

- New `ui.conflict-marker-style` config option to change how conflicts are materialized in the working copy. The default option ("diff") renders conflicts as a snapshot with a list of diffs to apply to the snapshot. The new "snapshot" option renders conflicts as a series of snapshots, showing each side and base of the conflict. The new "git" option replicates Git's "diff3" conflict style, meaning it is more likely to work with external tools, but it doesn't support conflicts with more than 2 sides.

- New `merge-tools.<TOOL>.conflict-marker-style` config option to override the conflict marker style used for a specific merge tool.

- New `merge-tools.<TOOL>.merge-conflict-exit-codes` config option to allow a merge tool to exit with a non-zero code to indicate that not all conflicts were resolved.

- `jj simplify-parents` now supports configuring the default revset when no `--source` or `--revisions` arguments are provided with the `revsets.simplify-parents` config.

### Fixed bugs

- `jj config unset <TABLE-NAME>` no longer removes a table (such as `[ui]`.)

## 0.23.0 - 2024-11-06

### Security fixes

- Fixed path traversal by cloning/checking out crafted Git repository containing `..`, `.jj`, `.git` paths. (GHSA-88h5-6w7m-5w56;CVE-2024-51990)

### Breaking changes

- Revset function names can no longer start with a number.

- Evaluation error of `revsets.short-prefixes` configuration is now reported.

- The `HEAD@git` symbol no longer resolves to the Git HEAD revision. Use `git_head()` or `@-` revset expression instead. The `git_head` template keyword now returns a boolean.

- Help command doesn't work recursively anymore, i.e. `jj workspace help root` doesn't work anymore.

- The color label `op_log` from the `[colors]` config section now only applies to the op log and not to the other places operations are displayed. In almost all cases, if you configured `op_log` before, you should use the new `operation` label instead.

- Default operation log template now shows end times of operations instead of start times.

### Deprecations

- `git.auto-local-bookmark` replaces `git.auto-local-branch`. The latter remains supported for now (at lower precedence than the former).

### New features

- Added diff options to ignore whitespace when comparing lines. Whitespace changes are still highlighted.

- New command `jj simplify-parents` will remove redundant parent edges.

- `jj squash` now supports `-f/-t` shorthands for `--from/--[in]to`.

- Initial support for shallow Git repositories has been implemented. However, deepening the history of a shallow repository is not yet supported.

- `jj git clone` now accepts a `--depth <DEPTH>` option, which allows to clone the repository with a given depth.

- New command `jj file annotate` that annotates files line by line. This is similar in functionality to `git blame`. Invoke the command with `jj file annotate <file_path>`. The output can be customized via the `templates.annotate_commit_summary` config variable.

- `jj bookmark list` gained a `--remote REMOTE` option to display bookmarks belonging to a remote. This option can be combined with `--tracked` or `--conflicted`.

- New command `jj config unset` that unsets config values. For example, `jj config unset --user user.name`.

- `jj help` now has the flag `--keyword` (shorthand `-k`), which can give help for some keywords (e.g. `jj help -k revsets`). To see a list of the available keywords you can do `jj help --help`.

- New `at_operation(op, expr)` revset can be used in order to query revisions based on historical state.

- String literals in filesets, revsets and templates now support hex bytes (with `\e` as escape / shorthand for `\x1b`).

- New `coalesce(revsets...)` revset which returns commits in the first revset in the `revsets` list that does not evaluate to `none()`.

- New template function `raw_escape_sequence(...)` preserves escape sequences.

- Timestamp objects in templates now have `after(date) -> Boolean` and `before(date) -> Boolean` methods for comparing timestamps to other dates.

- New template functions `pad_start()`, `pad_end()`, `truncate_start()`, and `truncate_end()` are added.

- Add a new template alias `builtin_log_compact_full_description()`.

- Added the config settings `diff.color-words.context` and `diff.git.context` to control the default number of lines of context shown.

### Fixed bugs

- Error on `trunk()` revset resolution is now handled gracefully. #4616

- Updated the built-in diff editor `scm-record` to version 0.4.0, which includes multiple fixes.

## 0.22.0 - 2024-10-02

### Breaking changes

- Fixing #4239 means the ordering of some messages have changed.

- Invalid `ui.graph.style` configuration is now an error.

- The builtin template `branch_list` has been renamed to `bookmark_list` as part of the `jj branch` deprecation.

### Deprecations

- `jj branch` has been deprecated in favor of `jj bookmark`.

  Rationale: Jujutsu's branches don't behave like Git branches, which a confused many newcomers, as they expected a similar behavior given the name. We've renamed them to "bookmarks" to match the actual behavior, as we think that describes them better, and they also behave similar to Mercurial's bookmarks.

- `jj obslog` is now called `jj evolution-log`/`jj evolog`. `jj obslog` remains as an alias.

- `jj unsquash` has been deprecated in favor of `jj squash` and `jj diffedit --restore-descendants`.

  Rationale: `jj squash` can be used in interactive mode to pull changes from one commit to another, including from a parent commit to a child commit. For fine-grained dependent diffs, such as when the parent and the child commits must successively modify the same location in a file, `jj diffedit --restore-descendants` can be used to set the parent commit to the desired content without altering the content of the child commit.

- The `git.push-branch-prefix` config has been deprecated in favor of `git.push-bookmark-prefix`.

- `conflict()` and `file()` revsets have been renamed to `conflicts()` and `files()` respectively. The old names are still around and will be removed in a future release.

### New features

- The new config option `snapshot.auto-track` lets you automatically track only the specified paths (all paths by default). Use the new `jj file track` command to manually tracks path that were not automatically tracked. There is no way to list untracked files yet. Use `git status` in a colocated workspace as a workaround. #323

- `jj fix` now allows fixing unchanged files with the `--include-unchanged-files` flag. This can be used to more easily introduce automatic formatting changes in a new commit separate from other changes.

- `jj workspace add` now accepts a `--sparse-patterns=<MODE>` option, which allows control of the sparse patterns for a newly created workspace: `copy` (inherit from parent; default), `full` (full working copy), or `empty` (the empty working copy).

- New command `jj workspace rename` that can rename the current workspace.

- `jj op log` gained an option to include operation diffs.

- `jj git clone` now accepts a `--remote <REMOTE NAME>` option, which allows to set a name for the remote instead of using the default `origin`.

- `jj op undo` now reports information on the operation that has been undone.

- `jj squash`: the `-k` flag can be used as a shorthand for `--keep-emptied`.

- CommitId / ChangeId template types now support `.normal_hex()`.

- `jj commit` and `jj describe` now accept `--author` option allowing to quickly change author of given commit.

- `jj diffedit`, `jj abandon`, and `jj restore` now accept a `--restore-descendants` flag. When used, descendants of the edited or deleted commits will keep their original content.

- `jj git fetch -b <remote-git-branch-name>` will now warn if the branch(es) can not be found in any of the specified/configured remotes.

- `jj split` now lets the user select all changes in interactive mode. This may be used to keeping all changes into the first commit while keeping the current commit description for the second commit (the newly created empty one).

- Author and committer names are now yellow by default.

### Fixed bugs

- Update working copy before reporting changes. This prevents errors during reporting from leaving the working copy in a stale state.

- Fixed panic when parsing invalid conflict markers of a particular form. (#2611)

- Editing a hidden commit now makes it visible.

- The `present()` revset now suppresses missing working copy error. For example, `present(@)` evaluates to `none()` if the current workspace has no working-copy commit.

## 0.21.0 - 2024-09-04

### Breaking changes

- `next/prev` will no longer infer when to go into edit mode when moving from commit to commit. It now either follows the flags `--edit|--no-edit` or it gets the mode from `ui.movement.edit`.

### Deprecations

- `jj untrack` has been renamed to `jj file untrack`.

### New features

- Add new boolean config knob, `ui.movement.edit` for controlling the behavior of `prev/next`. The flag turns `edit` mode `on` and `off` permanently when set respectively to `true` or `false`.

- All diff formats except `--name-only` now include information about copies and moves. So do external diff tools in file-by-file mode. `jj status` also includes information about copies and moves.

- Color-words diff has gained an option to display complex changes as separate lines. It's enabled by default. To restore the old behavior, set `diff.color-words.max-inline-alternation = -1`.

- A tilde (`~`) at the start of the path will now be expanded to the user's home directory when configuring a `signing.key` for SSH commit signing.

- When reconfiguring the author, warn that the working copy won't be updated

- `jj rebase -s` can now be used with the `--insert-after` and `--insert-before` options, like `jj rebase -r`.

### Fixed bugs

- Release binaries for Intel Macs have been restored. They were previously broken due to using a sunset version of GitHub's macOS runners (but nobody had previously complained.)

## 0.20.0 - 2024-08-07

### Note to packagers

- `jj` now links `libgit2` statically by default. To use dynamic linking, you need to set the environment variable `LIBGIT2_NO_VENDOR=1` while compiling. (#4163)

### Breaking changes

- `jj rebase --skip-empty` has been renamed to `jj rebase --skip-emptied`

- `jj backout --revision` has been renamed to `jj backout --revisions`. The short alias `-r` is still supported.

- The default `immutable_heads()` set now includes `untracked_remote_branches()` with the assumption that untracked branches aren't managed by you. Therefore, untracked branches are no longer displayed in `jj log` by default.

- Updated defaults for graph node symbol templates `templates.log_node` and `templates.op_log_node`.

- The "fileset" language is now enabled by default. It can still be disabled by setting `ui.allow-filesets=false`.

- On `jj git fetch`/`import`, commits referred to by `HEAD@git` are no longer preserved. If a checked-out named branch gets deleted locally or remotely, the corresponding commits will be abandoned.

- `jj --at-op=@` no longer merges concurrent operations if explicitly specified.

- `jj obslog -p` no longer shows diffs at non-partial squash operations. Previously, it showed the same diffs as the second predecessor.

### Deprecations

- The original configuration syntax for `jj fix` is now deprecated in favor of one that allows defining multiple tools that can affect different filesets. These can be used in combination for now. See `jj help fix` for details.

### New features

- Define `immutable_heads()` revset alias in terms of a new `builtin_immutable_heads()`. This enables users to redefine `immutable_heads()` as they wish, but still have `builtin_immutable_heads()` which should not be redefined.

- External diff tools can now be configured to invoke the tool on each file individually instead of being passed a directory by setting `merge-tools.$TOOL.diff-invocation-mode="file-by-file"` in config.toml.

- In git diffs, word-level hunks are now highlighted with underline. See diff colors and styles for customization.

- New `.diff().<format>()` commit template methods are added. They can be used in order to show diffs conditionally. For example, `if(current_working_copy, diff.summary())`.

- `jj git clone` and `jj git init` with an existing git repository adds the default branch of the remote as repository settings for `revset-aliases."trunk()"`.`

- `jj workspace forget` now abandons the workspace's working-copy commit if it was empty.

- `jj backout` now includes the backed out commit's subject in the new commit message.

- `jj backout` can now back out multiple commits at once.

- `jj git clone some/nested/path` now creates the full directory tree for nested destination paths if they don't exist.

- String patterns now support case‐insensitive matching by suffixing any pattern kind with `-i`. `mine()` uses case‐insensitive matching on your email address unconditionally. Only ASCII case folding is currently implemented, but this will likely change in the future.

- String patterns now support `regex:"pattern"`.

- New `tracked_remote_branches()` and `untracked_remote_branches()` revset functions can be used to select tracked/untracked remote branches.

- The `file()` revset function now accepts fileset as argument.

- New `diff_contains()` revset function can be used to search diffs.

- New command `jj operation diff` that can compare changes made between two operations.

- New command `jj operation show` that can show the changes made in a single operation.

- New config setting `git.private-commits` to prevent commits from being pushed.

- The default commit description template can now be configured by `templates.draft_commit_description`.

- `jj fix` can now be configured to run different tools on different filesets. This simplifies the use case of configuring code formatters for specific file types. See `jj help fix` for details.

- Added revset functions `author_date` and `committer_date`.

- `jj describe` can now update the description of multiple commits.

### Fixed bugs

- `jj status` will show different messages in a conflicted tree, depending on the state of the working commit. In particular, if a child commit fixes a conflict in the parent, this will be reflected in the hint provided by `jj status`

- `jj diff --git` no longer shows the contents of binary files.

- Windows binaries no longer require `vcruntime140.dll` to be installed (normally through Visual Studio.)

- On quit, the builtin pager no longer waits for all outputs to be discarded.

- `jj branch rename` no longer shows a warning in colocated repos.

## 0.19.0 - 2024-07-03

### Breaking changes

- In revset aliases, top-level `kind:pattern` expression is now parsed as modifier. Surround with parentheses if it should be parsed as string/file pattern.

- Dropped support for automatic upgrade of repo formats used by versions before 0.12.0.

- `jj fix` now defaults to the broader revset `-s reachable(@, mutable())` instead of `-s @`.

- Dropped support for deprecated `jj branch delete`/`forget` `--glob` option.

- `jj branch set` now creates new branch if it doesn't exist. Use `jj branch move` to ensure that the target branch already exists. #3584

### Deprecations

- Replacing `-l` shorthand for `--limit` with `-n` in `jj log`, `jj op log` and `jj obslog`.

- `jj split --siblings` is deprecated in favor of `jj split --parallel` (to match `jj parallelize`).

- A new `jj file` subcommand now replaces several existing uncategorized commands, which are deprecated.

  - `jj file show` replaces `jj cat`.
  - `jj file chmod` replaces `jj chmod`.
  - `jj file list` replaces `jj files`.

### New features

- Support background filesystem monitoring via watchman triggers enabled with the `core.watchman.register_snapshot_trigger = true` config.

- Show paths to config files when configuration errors occur.

- `jj fix` now supports configuring the default revset for `-s` using the `revsets.fix` config.

- The `descendants()` revset function now accepts an optional `depth` argument; like the `ancestors()` depth argument, it limits the depth of the set.

- Revset/template aliases now support function overloading. #2966

- Conflicted files are individually simplified before being materialized.

- The `jj file` subcommand now contains several existing file utilities.

  - `jj file show`, replacing `jj cat`.
  - `jj file chmod` replacing `jj chmod`.
  - `jj file list` replacing `jj files`.

- New command `jj branch move` let you update branches by name pattern or source revision.

- New diff option `jj diff --name-only` allows for easier shell scripting.

- In color-words diffs, hunks are now highlighted with underline. See diff colors and styles for customization.

- `jj git push -c <arg>` can now accept revsets that resolve to multiple revisions. This means that `jj git push -c xyz -c abc` is now equivalent to `jj git push -c 'all:(xyz | abc)'`.

- `jj prev` and `jj next` have gained a `--conflict` flag which moves you to the next conflict in a child commit.

- New command `jj git remote set-url` that sets the url of a git remote.

- Author timestamp is now reset when rewriting discardable commits (empty commits with no description) if authored by the current user. #2000

- `jj commit` now accepts `--reset-author` option to match `jj describe`.

- `jj squash` now accepts a `--keep-emptied` option to keep the source commit.

### Fixed bugs

- `jj git push` now ignores immutable commits when checking whether a to-be-pushed commit has conflicts, or has no description / committer / author set. #3029

- `jj` will look for divergent changes outside the short prefix set even if it finds the change id inside the short prefix set. #2476

## 0.18.0 - 2024-06-05

### Breaking changes

- Dropped support for `ui.default-revset` config (replaced by `revsets.log` in 0.8.0).

- The `commit_summary_no_branches` template is superseded by `templates.branch_list`.

- `jj split` will now refuse to split an empty commit.

- `jj config list` now uses multi-line strings and single-quoted strings in the output when appropriate.

- `jj config get`/`list`/`set` now parse `name` argument as TOML key. Quote meta characters as needed. Example: `jj config get "revset-aliases.'trunk()'"`

- When updating the working copy away from an empty and undescribed commit, it is now abandoned even if it is a merge commit.

- If a new working-copy commit is created because the old one was abandoned, and the old commit was merge, then the new commit will now also be. #2859

- `jj new`'s `--insert-before`/`--insert-after` options must now be set for each commit the new commit will be inserted before/after. Previously, those options were global flags and specifying them once would insert the new commit before/ after all the specified commits.

### Deprecations

- Attempting to alias a built-in command now gives a warning, rather than being silently ignored.

### New features

- `jj branch list`/`tag list` now accept `-T`/`--template` option. The tag list prints commit summary along with the tag name by default.

- Conflict markers now include an explanation of what each part of the conflict represents.

- `ui.color = "debug"` prints active labels alongside the regular colored output.

- `jj branch track` now show conflicts if there are some.

- A new revset `reachable(srcs, domain)` will return all commits that are reachable from `srcs` within `domain`.

- There are now prebuilt binaries for `aarch64-linux-unknown-musl`. Note, these are cross compiled and currently untested. We plan on providing fully tested builds later once our CI system allows it.

- Added new revsets `mutable()` and `immutable()`.

- Upgraded `scm-record` from v0.2.0 to v0.3.0. See release notes at https://github.com/arxanas/scm-record/releases/tag/v0.3.0

- New command `jj fix` that can be configured to update commits by running code formatters (or similar tools) on changed files. The configuration schema and flags are minimal for now, with a number of improvements planned (for example, #3800 and #3801).

- `jj new`'s `--insert-before` and `--insert-after` options can now be used simultaneously.

- `jj git push` now can push commits with empty descriptions with the `--allow-empty-description` flag

### Fixed bugs

- Previously, `jj git push` only made sure that the branch is in the expected location on the remote server when pushing a branch forward (as opposed to sideways or backwards). Now, `jj git push` makes a safety check in all cases and fails whenever `jj git fetch` would have introduced a conflict.

  In other words, previously branches that moved sideways or backward were pushed similarly to Git's `git push --force`; now they have protections similar to `git push --force-with-lease` (though not identical to it, to match the behavior of `jj git fetch`). Note also that because of the way `jj git fetch` works, `jj` does not suffer from the same problems as Git's `git push --force-with-lease` in situations when `git fetch` is run in the background.

- When the working copy commit becomes immutable, a new one is automatically created on top of it to avoid letting the user edit the immutable one.

- `jj config list` now properly escapes TOML keys (#1322).

- Files with conflicts are now checked out as executable if all sides of the conflict are executable.

- The progress bar (visible when using e.g. `jj git clone`) clears the remainder of the cursor row after drawing rather than clearing the entire row before drawing, eliminating the "flicker" effect seen on some terminals.

## 0.17.1 - 2024-05-07

### Fixed bugs

- `jj status` no longer scans through the entire history to look for ancestors with conflicts.

## 0.17.0 - 2024-05-01

### Breaking changes

- The default template aliases were replaced as follows:

  - `builtin_op_log_root(op_id: OperationId)` -> `format_root_operation(root: Operation)`
  - `builtin_log_root(change_id: ChangeId, commit_id: CommitId)` -> `format_root_commit(root: Commit)`
  - `builtin_change_id_with_hidden_and_divergent_info` -> `format_short_change_id_with_hidden_and_divergent_info(commit: Commit)`

- The `--revision` option of `jj rebase` is renamed to `--revisions`. The short alias `-r` is still supported.

### New features

- The list of conflicted paths is printed whenever the working copy changes. This can be disabled with the `--quiet` option.

- Commit objects in templates now have a `mine() -> Boolean` method analog to the same function in revsets. It evaluates to true if the email of the commit author matches the current `user.email`.

- Commit objects in templates now have a `contained_in(revset: String) -> Boolean` method.

- Operation objects in templates now have a `snapshot() -> Boolean` method that evaluates to true if the operation was a snapshot created by a non-mutating command (e.g. `jj log`).

- Revsets and templates now support single-quoted raw string literals.

- A new config option `ui.always-allow-large-revsets` has been added to allow large revsets expressions in some commands, without the `all:` prefix.

- A new config option `ui.allow-filesets` has been added to enable "fileset" expressions. Note that filesets are currently experimental, but will be enabled by default in a future release.

- A new global flag `--ignore-immutable` lets you rewrite immutable commits.

- New command `jj parallelize` that rebases a set of revisions into siblings.

- `jj status` now supports filtering by paths. For example, `jj status .` will only list changed files that are descendants of the current directory.

- `jj prev` and `jj next` now work when the working copy revision is a merge.

- `jj squash` now accepts a `--use-destination-message/-u` option that uses the description of the destination for the new squashed revision and discards the descriptions of the source revisions.

- You can check whether Watchman fsmonitor is enabled or installed with the new `jj debug watchman status` command.

- `jj rebase` now accepts revsets resolving to multiple revisions with the `--revisions`/`-r` option.

- `jj rebase -r` now accepts `--insert-after` and `--insert-before` options to customize the location of the rebased revisions.

### Fixed bugs

- Revsets now support `\`-escapes in string literal.

- The builtin diff editor now allows empty files to be selected during `jj split`.

- Fixed a bug with `jj split` introduced in 0.16.0 that caused it to incorrectly rebase the children of the revision being split if they had other parents (i.e. if the child was a merge).

- The `snapshot.max-new-file-size` option can now handle raw integer literals, interpreted as a number of bytes, where previously it could only handle string literals. This means that `snapshot.max-new-file-size="1"` and `snapshot.max-new-file-size=1` are now equivalent.

- `jj squash <path>` is now a no-op if the path argument didn't match any paths (it used to create new commits with bumped timestamp). #3334

## 0.16.0 - 2024-04-03

### Deprecations

- `jj move` was deprecated in favor of `jj squash`.

### Breaking changes

- The `git_head` template keyword now returns an optional value instead of a list of 0 or 1 element.

- The `jj sparse set --edit`/`--reset` flags were split up into `jj sparse edit`/`reset` subcommands respectively.

- The `jj sparse` subcommands now parse and print patterns as workspace-relative paths.

- The `jj log` command no longer uses the default revset when a path is specified.

### New features

- Config now supports rgb hex colors (in the form `#rrggbb`) wherever existing color names are supported.

- `ui.default-command` now accepts multiple string arguments, for more complex default `jj` commands.

- Graph node symbols are now configurable via templates

  - `templates.log_node`
  - `templates.op_log_node`

- `jj log` now includes synthetic nodes in the graph where some revisions were elided.

- `jj squash` now accepts `--from` and `--into` (also aliased as `--to`) if `-r` is not specified. It can now be used for all use cases where `jj move` could previously be used. The `--from` argument accepts a revset that resolves to more than one revision.

- Commit templates now support `immutable` keyword.

- New template function `coalesce(content, ..)` is added.

- Timestamps are now shown in local timezone and without milliseconds and timezone offset by default.

- `jj git push` now prints messages from the remote.

- `jj branch list` now supports a `--conflicted/-c` option to show only conflicted branches.

- `jj duplicate` and `jj abandon` can now take more than a single `-r` argument, for consistency with other commands.

- `jj branch list` now allows combining `-r REVISIONS`/`NAMES` and `-a` options.

- `--all` is now named `--all-remotes` for `jj branch list`

- There is a new global `--quiet` flag to silence commands' non-primary output.

- `jj split` now supports a `--siblings/-s` option that splits the target revision into siblings with the same parents and children.

- New function `working_copies()` for revsets to show the working copy commits of all workspaces.

### Fixed bugs

None.

## 0.15.1 - 2024-03-06

No code changes (fixing Rust `Cargo.toml` stuff).

## 0.15.0 - 2024-03-06

### Breaking changes

- The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.76.0.

- The on-disk index format changed. New index files will be created automatically, but it can fail if the repository is colocated and predates Git GC issues #815. If reindexing failed, you'll need to clean up corrupted operation history by `jj op abandon ..<bad operation ID>`.

- Dropped support for the "legacy" graph-drawing style. Use "ascii" for a very similar result.

- The default log output no longer lists all tagged heads. Set `revsets.log = "@ | ancestors(immutable_heads().., 2) | heads(immutable_heads())"` to restore the old behavior.

- Dropped support for the deprecated `:` revset operator. Use `::` instead.

- `jj rebase --skip-empty` no longer abandons commits that were already empty before the rebase.

### New features

- Partial support for commit signing. Currently you can configure jj to "keep" commit signatures by making new ones for rewritten commits, and to sign new commits when they are created.

  This comes with out-of-the-box support for the following backends:

  - GnuPG
  - SSH

  Signature verification and an explicit sign command will hopefully come soon.

- Templates now support logical operators: `||`, `&&`, `!`

- Templates now support the `self` keyword, which is the current commit in `jj log`/`obslog` templates.

- `jj show` now accepts `-T`/`--template` option to render its output using template

- `jj config list` now accepts `-T`/`--template` option.

- `jj git fetch` now accepts `-b` as a shorthand for `--branch`, making it more consistent with other commands that accept a branch

- In the templating language, Timestamps now have a `.local()` method for converting to the local timezone.

- `jj next/prev` now infer `--edit` when you're already editing a non-head commit (a commit with children).

- A new built-in pager named `:builtin` is available on all platforms, implemented with minus

- Set config `ui.log-synthetic-elided-nodes = true` to make `jj log` include synthetic nodes in the graph where some revisions were elided (#1252, #2971). This may become the default depending on feedback.

- When creating a new workspace, the sparse patterns are now copied over from the current workspace.

- `jj git init --colocate` can now import an existing Git repository. This is equivalent to `jj git init --git-repo=.`.

- `jj git fetch` now automatically prints new remote branches and tags by default.

- `--verbose/-v` is now `--debug` (no short option since it's not intended to be used often)

- `jj move --from/--to` can now be abbreviated to `jj move -f/-t`

- `jj commit`/`diffedit`/`move`/`resolve`/`split`/`squash`/`unsquash` now accept `--tool=<NAME>` option to override the default. #2575

- Added completions for Nushell to `jj util completion`

- `jj branch list` now supports a `--tracked/-t` option which can be used to show tracked branches only. Omits local Git-tracking branches by default.

- Commands producing diffs now accept a `--context` flag for the number of lines of context to show.

- `jj` commands with the `-T`/`--template` option now provide a hint containing defined template names when no argument is given, assisting the user in making a selection.

### Fixed bugs

- On Windows, symlinks in the repo are now supported when Developer Mode is enabled. When symlink support is unavailable, they will be materialized as regular files in the working copy (instead of resulting in a crash). #2

- On Windows, the `:builtin` pager is now used by default, rather than being disabled entirely.

- Auto-rebase now preserves the shape of history even for merge commits where one parent is an ancestor of another. #2600

## 0.14.0 - 2024-02-07

### Deprecations

- `jj checkout` and `jj merge` are both deprecated; use `jj new` instead to replace both of these commands in all instances.

  Rationale: `jj checkout` and `jj merge` both implement identical functionality, which is a subset of `jj new`. `checkout` creates a new working copy commit on top of a single specified revision, i.e. with one parent. `merge` creates a new working copy commit on top of at least two specified revisions, i.e. with two or more parents.

  The only difference between these commands and `jj new`, which also creates a new working copy commit, is that `new` can create a working copy commit on top of any arbitrary number of revisions, so it can handle both the previous cases at once. The only actual difference between these three commands is the command syntax and their name. These names were chosen to be familiar to users of other version control systems, but we instead encourage all users to adopt `jj new` instead; it is more general and easier to remember than both of these.

  `jj checkout` and `jj merge` will no longer be shown as part of `jj help`, but will still function for now, emitting a warning about their deprecation.

  Deadline: `jj checkout` and `jj merge` will be deleted and are expected become a hard error later in 2024.

- `jj init --git` and `jj init --git-repo` are now deprecated and will be removed in the near future.

  Use `jj git init` instead.

### Breaking changes

- (Minor) Diff summaries (e.g. `jj diff -s`) now use `D` for "Deleted" instead of `R` for "Removed". @joyously pointed out that `R` could also mean "Renamed".

- `jj util completion` now takes the shell as a positional argument, not a flag. the previous behavior is deprecated, but supported for now. it will be removed in the future.

- `jj rebase` now preserves the shape of history even for merge commits where one parent is an ancestor of another. You can follow the `jj rebase` by `jj rebase -s <merge commit> -d <single parent>` if you want to linearize the history.

### New features

- `jj util completion` now supports powershell and elvish.

- Official binaries for macOS running on Apple Silicon (`aarch64-apple-darwin`) are now available, alongside the existing macOS x86 binaries.

- New `jj op abandon` command is added to clean up the operation history. Git refs and commit objects can be further compacted by `jj util gc`.

- `jj util gc` now removes unreachable operation, view, and Git objects.

- `jj branch rename` will now warn if the renamed branch has a remote branch, since those will have to be manually renamed outside of `jj`.

- `jj git push` gained a `--tracked` option, to push all the tracked branches.

- There's now a virtual root operation, similar to the virtual root commit. It appears at the end of `jj op log`.

- `jj config list` gained a `--include-overridden` option to allow printing overridden config values.

- `jj config list` now accepts `--user` or `--repo` option to specify config origin.

- New `jj config path` command to print the config file path without launching an editor.

- `jj tag list` command prints imported git tags.

- `jj next` and `jj prev` now prompt in the event of the next/previous commit being ambiguous, instead of failing outright.

- `jj resolve` now displays the file being resolved.

- `jj workspace root` was aliased to `jj root`, for ease of discoverability

- `jj diff` no longer shows the contents of binary files.

- `jj git` now has an `init` command that initializes a git backed repo.

- New template function `surround(prefix, suffix, content)` is added.

### Fixed bugs

- Fixed snapshots of symlinks in `gitignore`-d directory. #2878

- Fixed data loss in dirty working copy when checked-out branch is rebased or abandoned by Git. #2876

## 0.13.0 - 2024-01-03

### Breaking changes

- `jj git fetch` no longer imports new remote branches as local branches. Set `git.auto-local-branch = true` to restore the old behavior.

### New features

- Information about new and resolved conflicts is now printed by every command.

- `jj branch` has gained a new `rename` subcommand that allows changing a branch name atomically. `jj branch help rename` for details.

### Fixed bugs

- Command aliases can now be loaded from repository config relative to the current working directory. #2414

## 0.12.0 - 2023-12-05

### Breaking changes

- The `remote_branches()` revset no longer includes branches exported to the Git repository (so called Git-tracking branches.)

- `jj branch set` no longer creates a new branch. Use `jj branch create` instead.

- `jj init --git` in an existing Git repository now errors and exits rather than creating a second Git store.

### New features

- `jj workspace add` can now take multiple `--revision` arguments, which will create a new workspace with its working-copy commit on top of all the parents, as if you had run `jj new r1 r2 r3 ...`.

- You can now set `git.abandon-unreachable-commits = false` to disable the usual behavior where commits that became unreachable in the Git repo are abandoned (#2504).

- `jj new` gained a `--no-edit` option to prevent editing the newly created commit. For example, `jj new a b --no-edit -m Merge` creates a merge commit without affecting the working copy.

- `jj rebase` now takes the flag `--skip-empty`, which doesn't copy over commits that would become empty after a rebase.

- There is a new `jj util gc` command for cleaning up the repository storage. For now, it simply runs `git gc` on the backing Git repo (when using the Git backend).

### Fixed bugs

- Fixed another file conflict resolution issue where `jj status` would disagree with the actual file content. #2654

## 0.11.0 - 2023-11-01

### Breaking changes

- Conflicts are now stored in a different way. Commits written by a new `jj` binary will not be read correctly by older `jj` binaries. The new model solves some performance problems with the old model. For example, `jj log` should be noticeably faster on large repos. You may need to create a new clone to see the full speedup.

- The `remote_branches()` revset now includes branches exported to the Git repository (so called Git-tracking branches.) This change will be reverted in 0.12.0.

- Status messages are now printed to stderr.

- `jj config set` now interprets the value as TOML also if it's a valid TOML array or table. For example, `jj config set --user 'aliases.n' '["new"]'`

- Remote branches now have tracking or non-tracking flags. The `git.auto-local-branch` setting is applied only to newly fetched remote branches. Existing remote branches are migrated as follows:

  - If local branch exists, the corresponding remote branches are considered tracking branches.
  - Otherwise, the remote branches are non-tracking branches.

  If the deduced tracking flags are wrong, use `jj branch track`/`untrack` commands to fix them up.

- Non-tracking remote branches aren't listed by default. Use `jj branch list --all` to show all local and remote branches.

- It's not allowed to push branches if non-tracking remote branches of the same name exist.

- Pushing deleted/moved branches no longer abandons the local commits referenced by the remote branches.

- `jj git fetch --branch` now requires `glob:` prefix to expand `*` in branch name.

### New features

- `jj`'s stable release can now be installed with `cargo binstall jj-cli`.

- `jj workspace add` now takes a `--revision` argument.

- `jj workspace forget` can now forget multiple workspaces at once.

- `branches()`/`remote_branches()`/`author()`/`committer()`/`description()` revsets now support glob matching.

- `jj branch delete`/`forget`/`list`, and `jj git push --branch` now support string pattern syntax. The `--glob` option is deprecated in favor of `glob:` pattern.

- The `branches`/`tags`/`git_refs`/`git_head` template keywords now return a list of `RefName`s. They were previously pre-formatted strings.

- The new template keywords `local_branches`/`remote_branches` are added to show only local/remote branches.

- `jj workspace add` now preserves all parents of the old working-copy commit instead of just the first one.

- `jj rebase -r` gained the ability to rebase a revision `A` onto a descendant of `A`.

### Fixed bugs

- Updating the working copy to a commit where a file that's currently ignored in the working copy no longer leads to a crash (#976).

- Conflicts in executable files can now be resolved just like conflicts in non-executable files (#1279).

- `jj new --insert-before` and `--insert-after` now respect immutable revisions (#2468).

## 0.10.0 - 2023-10-04

### Breaking changes

- A default revset-alias function `trunk()` now exists. If you previously defined your own `trunk()` alias it will continue to overwrite the built-in one. Check revsets.toml and revsets.md to understand how the function can be adapted.

### New features

- The `ancestors()` revset function now takes an optional `depth` argument to limit the depth of the ancestor set. For example, use `jj log -r 'ancestors(@, 5)` to view the last 5 commits.

- Support for the Watchman filesystem monitor is now bundled by default. Set `core.fsmonitor = "watchman"` in your repo to enable.

- You can now configure the set of immutable commits via `revset-aliases.immutable_heads()`. For example, set it to `"remote_branches() | tags()"` to prevent rewriting those those. Their ancestors are implicitly also immutable.

- `jj op log` now supports `--no-graph`.

- Templates now support an additional escape: `\0`. This will output a literal null byte. This may be useful for e.g. `jj log -T 'description ++ "\0"' --no-graph` to output descriptions only, but be able to tell where the boundaries are

- jj now bundles a TUI tool to use as the default diff and merge editors. (The previous default was `meld`.)

- `jj split` supports the `--interactive` flag. (This is already the default if no paths are provided.)

- `jj commit` accepts an optional list of paths indicating a subset of files to include in the first commit

- `jj commit` accepts the `--interactive` flag.

## 0.9.0 - 2023-09-06

### Breaking changes

- The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.71.0.

- The storage format of branches, tags, and git refs has changed. Newly-stored repository data will no longer be loadable by older binaries.

- The `:` revset operator is deprecated. Use `::` instead. We plan to delete the `:` form in jj 0.15+.

- The `--allow-large-revsets` flag for `jj rebase` and `jj new` was replaced by a `all:` before the revset. For example, use `jj rebase -d 'all:foo-'` instead of `jj rebase --allow-large-revsets -d 'foo-'`.

- The `--allow-large-revsets` flag for `jj rebase` and `jj new` can no longer be used for allowing duplicate destinations. Include the potential duplicates in a single expression instead (e.g. `jj new 'all:x|y'`).

- The `push.branch-prefix` option was renamed to `git.push-branch-prefix`.

- The default editor on Windows is now `Notepad` instead of `pico`.

- `jj` will fail attempts to snapshot new files larger than 1MiB by default. This behavior can be customized with the `snapshot.max-new-file-size` config option.

- Author and committer signatures now use empty strings to represent unset names and email addresses. The `author`/`committer` template keywords and methods also return empty strings. Older binaries may not warn user when attempting to `git push` commits with such signatures.

- In revsets, the working-copy or remote symbols (such as `@`, `workspace_id@`, and `branch@remote`) can no longer be quoted as a unit. If a workspace or branch name contains whitespace, quote the name like `"branch name"@remote`. Also, these symbols will not be resolved as revset aliases or function parameters. For example, `author(foo@)` is now an error, and the revset alias `'revset-aliases.foo@' = '@'` will be failed to parse.

- The `root` revset symbol has been converted to function `root()`.

- The `..x` revset is now evaluated to `root()..x`, which means the root commit is no longer included.

- `jj git push` will now push all branches in the range `remote_branches()..@` instead of only branches pointing to `@` or `@-`.

- It's no longer allowed to create a Git remote named "git". Use `jj git remote rename` to rename the existing remote. #1690

- Revset expression like `origin/main` will no longer resolve to a remote-tracking branch. Use `main@origin` instead.

### New features

- Default template for `jj log` now does not show irrelevant information (timestamp, empty, message placeholder etc.) about the root commit.

- Commit templates now support the `root` keyword, which is `true` for the root commit and `false` for every other commit.

- `jj init --git-repo` now works with bare repositories.

- `jj config edit --user` and `jj config set --user` will now pick a default config location if no existing file is found, potentially creating parent directories.

- `jj log` output is now topologically grouped. #242

- `jj git clone` now supports the `--colocate` flag to create the git repo in the same directory as the jj repo.

- `jj restore` gained a new option `--changes-in` to restore files from a merge revision's parents. This undoes the changes that `jj diff -r` would show.

- `jj diff`/`log` now supports `--tool <name>` option to generate diffs by external program. For configuration, see the documentation. #1886

- A new experimental diff editor `meld-3` is introduced that sets up Meld to allow you to see both sides of the original diff while editing. This can be used with `jj split`, `jj move -i`, etc.

- `jj log`/`obslog`/`op log` now supports `--limit N` option to show the first `N` entries.

- Added the `ui.paginate` option to enable/disable pager usage in commands

- `jj checkout`/`jj describe`/`jj commit`/`jj new`/`jj squash` can take repeated `-m/--message` arguments. Each passed message will be combined into paragraphs (separated by a blank line)

- It is now possible to set a default description using the new `ui.default-description` option, to use when describing changes with an empty description.

- `jj split` will now leave the description empty on the second part if the description was empty on the input commit.

- `branches()`/`remote_branches()`/`author()`/`committer()`/`description()` revsets now support exact matching. For example, `branch(exact:main)` selects the branch named "main", but not "maint". `description(exact:"")` selects commits whose description is empty.

- Revsets gained a new function `mine()` that aliases `author(exact:"your_email")`.

- Added support for `::` and `..` revset operators with both left and right operands omitted. These expressions are equivalent to `all()` and `~root()` respectively.

- `jj log` timestamp format now accepts `.utc()` to convert a timestamp to UTC.

- templates now support additional string methods `.starts_with(x)`, `.ends_with(x)` `.remove_prefix(x)`, `.remove_suffix(x)`, and `.substr(start, end)`.

- `jj next` and `jj prev` are added, these allow you to traverse the history in a linear style. For people coming from Sapling and `git-branchles` see #2126 for further pending improvements.

- `jj diff --stat` has been implemented. It shows a histogram of the changes, same as `git diff --stat`. Fixes #2066

- `jj git fetch --all-remotes` has been implemented. It fetches all remotes instead of just the default remote

### Fixed bugs

- Fix issues related to .gitignore handling of untracked directories #2051.

- `jj config set --user` and `jj config edit --user` can now be used outside of any repository.

- SSH authentication could hang when ssh-agent couldn't be reached #1970

- SSH authentication can now use ed25519 and ed25519-sk keys. They still need to be password-less.

- Git repository managed by the repo tool can now be detected as a "colocated" repository. #2011

## 0.8.0 - 2023-07-09

### Breaking changes

- The `jujutsu` and `jujutsu-lib` crates were renamed to `jj-cli` and `jj-lib`, respectively.

- The `ui.oplog-relative-timestamps` option has been removed. Use the `format_time_range()` template alias instead. For details, see the documentation.

- Implicit concatenation of template expressions has been disabled. Use `++` operator, `concat()`, or `separate()` function instead. Example: `description ++ "\n"`

- `jj git push` will consider pushing the parent commit only when the current commit has no content and no description, such as right after a `jj squash`.

- The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.64.0.

- The `heads()` revset function was split up into two functions. `heads()` without arguments is now called `visible_heads()`. `heads()` with one argument is unchanged.

- The `ui.default-revset` config was renamed to `revsets.log`.

- The `jj sparse` command was split up into `jj sparse list` and `jj sparse set`.

- `jj hide` (alias for `jj abandon`) is no longer available. Use `jj abandon` instead.

- `jj debug completion`, `jj debug mangen` and `jj debug config-schema` have been moved from `jj debug` to `jj util`.

- `jj` will no longer parse `br` as a git_ref `refs/heads/br` when a branch `br` does not exist but the git_ref does (this is rare). Use `br@git` instead.

- `jj git fetch` will no longer import unrelated branches from the underlying Git repo.

### New features

- `jj git push --deleted` will remove all locally deleted branches from the remote.

- `jj restore` without `--from` works correctly even if `@` is a merge commit.

- `jj rebase` now accepts multiple `-s` and `-b` arguments. Revsets with multiple commits are allowed with `--allow-large-revsets`.

- `jj git fetch` now supports a `--branch` argument to fetch some of the branches only.

- `jj config get` command allows retrieving config values for use in scripting.

- `jj config set` command allows simple config edits like `jj config set --repo user.email "somebody@example.com"`

- Added `ui.log-word-wrap` option to wrap `jj log`/`obslog`/`op log` content based on terminal width. #1043

- Nodes in the (text-based) graphical log output now use a `◉` symbol instead of the letter `o`. The ASCII-based graph styles still use `o`.

- Commands that accept a diff format (`jj diff`, `jj interdiff`, `jj show`, `jj log`, and `jj obslog`) now accept `--types` to show only the type of file before and after.

- `jj describe` now supports `--reset-author` for resetting a commit's author to the configured user. `jj describe` also gained a `--no-edit` option to avoid opening the editor.

- Added `latest(x[, n])` revset function to select the latest `n` commits.

- Added `conflict()` revset function to select commits with conflicts.

- `jj squash` AKA `jj amend` now accepts a `--message` option to set the description of the squashed commit on the command-line.

- The progress display on `jj git clone/fetch` now includes the downloaded size.

- The formatter now supports a "default" color that can override another color defined by a parent style.

- `jj obslog` and `jj log` now show abandoned commits as hidden.

- `jj git fetch` and `jj git push` will now use the single defined remote even if it is not named "origin".

- `jj git push` now accepts `--branch` and `--change` arguments together.

- `jj git push` now accepts a `-r/--revisions` flag to specify revisions to push. All branches pointing to any of the specified revisions will be pushed. The flag can be used together with `--branch` and `--change`.

- `jj` with no subcommand now defaults to `jj log` instead of showing help. This command can be overridden by setting `ui.default-command`.

- Description tempfiles created via `jj describe` now have the file extension `.jjdescription` to help external tooling detect a unique filetype.

- The shortest unique change ID prefixes and commit ID prefixes in `jj log` are now shorter within the default log revset. You can override the default by setting the `revsets.short-prefixes` config to a different revset.

- The last seen state of branches in the underlying git repo is now presented by `jj branch list`/`jj log` as a remote called `git` (e.g. `main@git`). They can also be referenced in revsets. Such branches exist in colocated repos or if you use `jj git export`.

- The new `jj chmod` command allows setting or removing the executable bit on paths. Unlike the POSIX `chmod`, it works on Windows, on conflicted files, and on arbitrary revisions. Bits other than the executable bit are not planned to be supported.

- `jj sparse set` now accepts an `--edit` flag which brings up the `$EDITOR` to edit sparse patterns.

- `jj branch list` can now be filtered by revset.

- Initial support for the Watchman filesystem monitor. Set `core.fsmonitor = "watchman"` in your repo to enable.

### Fixed bugs

- Modify/delete conflicts now include context lines #1244.

- It is now possible to modify either side of a modify/delete conflict (any change used to be considered a resolution).

- Fixed a bug that could get partially resolved conflicts to be interpreted incorrectly.

- `jj git fetch`: when re-adding a remote repository that had been previously removed, in some situations the remote branches were not recreated.

- `jj git remote rename`: the git remote references were not rewritten with the new name. If a new remote with the old name and containing the same branches was added, the remote branches may not be recreated in some cases.

- `jj workspace update-stale` now snapshots the working-copy changes before updating to the new working-copy commit.

- It is no longer allowed to create branches at the root commit.

- `git checkout` (without using `jj`) in colocated repo no longer abandons the previously checked-out anonymous branch. #1042.

- `jj git fetch` in a colocated repo now abandons branches deleted on the remote, just like in a non-colocated repo. #864

- `jj git fetch` can now fetch forgotten branches even if they didn't move on the remote. #1714 #1771

- It is now possible to `jj branch forget` deleted branches. #1537

- Fixed race condition when assigning change id to Git commit. If you've already had unreachable change ids, run `jj debug reindex`. #924

- Fixed false divergence on racy working-copy snapshots. #697, #1608

- In colocated repos, a bug causing conflicts when undoing branch moves (#922) has been fixed. Some surprising behaviors related to undoing `jj git push` or `jj git fetch` remain.

## 0.7.0 - 2023-02-16

### Breaking changes

- The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.61.0.

- The `jj touchup` command was renamed to `jj diffedit`.

- The `-i` option to `jj restore` was removed in favor of new `--from`/`--to` options to `jj diffedit`.

- To report the situation when a change id corresponds to multiple visible commits, `jj log` now prints the change id in red and puts `??` after it. Previously, it printed the word "divergent".

- `jj log` prefixes commit descriptions with "(empty)" when they contain no change compared to their parents.

- The `author`/`committer` templates now display both name and email. Use `author.name()`/`committer.name()` to extract the name.

- Storage of the "HEAD@git" reference changed and can now have conflicts. Operations written by a new `jj` binary will have a "HEAD@git" reference that is not visible to older binaries.

- The `description` template keyword is now empty if no description set. Use `if(description, description, "(no description set)\n")` to get back the previous behavior.

- The `template.log.graph` and `template.commit_summary` config keys were renamed to `templates.log` and `templates.commit_summary` respectively.

- If a custom `templates.log` template is set, working-copy commit will no longer be highlighted automatically. Wrap your template with `label(if(current_working_copy, "working_copy"), ...)` to label the working-copy entry.

- The `ui.relative-timestamps` option has been removed. Use the `format_timestamp()` template alias instead. For details on showing relative timestamps in `jj log` and `jj show`, see the documentation.

- `jj op log` now shows relative timestamps by default. To disable, set `ui.oplog-relative-timestamps` to `false`.

- The global `--no-commit-working-copy` is now called `--ignore-working-copy`.

- The `diff.format` config option is now called `ui.diff.format`. The old name is still supported for now.

- `merge-tools.<name>.edit-args` now requires `$left`/`$right` parameters. The default is `edit-args = ["$left", "$right"]`.

- The builtin `jj update` and `jj up` aliases for `jj checkout` have been deleted.

- Change IDs are now rendered using letters from the end of the alphabet (from 'z' through 'k') instead of the usual hex digits ('0' through '9' and 'a' through 'f'). This is to clarify the distinction between change IDs and commit IDs, and to allow more efficient lookup of unique prefixes. This change doesn't affect the storage format; existing repositories will remain usable.

### New features

- The default log format now uses the committer timestamp instead of the author timestamp.

- `jj log --summary --patch` now shows both summary and diff outputs.

- `jj git push` now accepts multiple `--branch`/`--change` arguments

- `jj config list` command prints values from config and `config edit` opens the config in an editor.

- `jj debug config-schema` command prints out JSON schema for the jj TOML config file format.

- `jj resolve --list` can now describe the complexity of conflicts.

- `jj resolve` now notifies the user of remaining conflicts, if any, on success. This can be prevented by the new `--quiet` option.

- Per-repository configuration is now read from `.jj/repo/config.toml`.

- Background colors, bold text, and underlining are now supported. You can set e.g. `colors.error = { bg = "red", bold = true, underline = true }` in your `~/.jjconfig.toml`.

- The `empty` condition in templates is true when the commit makes no change to the three compared to its parents.

- `branches([needle])` revset function now takes `needle` as an optional argument and matches just the branches whose name contains `needle`.

- `remote_branches([branch_needle[, remote_needle]])` now takes `branch_needle` and `remote_needle` as optional arguments and matches just the branches whose name contains `branch_needle` and remote contains `remote_needle`.

- `jj git fetch` accepts repeated `--remote` arguments.

- Default remotes can be configured for the `jj git fetch` and `jj git push` operations ("origin" by default) using the `git.fetch` and `git.push` configuration entries. `git.fetch` can be a list if multiple remotes must be fetched from.

- `jj duplicate` can now duplicate multiple changes in one go. This preserves any parent-child relationships between them. For example, the entire tree of descendants of `abc` can be duplicated with `jj duplicate abc:`.

- `jj log` now highlights the shortest unique prefix of every commit and change id and shows the rest in gray. To customize the length and style, use the `format_short_id()` template alias. For details, see the documentation.

- `jj print` was renamed to `jj cat`. `jj print` remains as an alias.

- In content that goes to the terminal, the ANSI escape byte (0x1b) is replaced by a "␛" character. That prevents them from interfering with the ANSI escapes jj itself writes.

- `jj workspace root` prints the root path of the current workspace.

- The `[alias]` config section was renamed to `[aliases]`. The old name is still accepted for backwards compatibility for some time.

- Commands that draw an ASCII graph (`jj log`, `jj op log`, `jj obslog`) now have different styles available by setting e.g. `ui.graph.style = "curved"`.

- `jj split` accepts creating empty commits when given a path. `jj split .` inserts an empty commit between the target commit and its children if any, and `jj split any-non-existent-path` inserts an empty commit between the target commit and its parents.

- Command arguments to `ui.diff-editor`/`ui.merge-editor` can now be specified inline without referring to `[merge-tools]` table.

- `jj rebase` now accepts a new `--allow-large-revsets` argument that allows the revset in the `-d` argument to expand to several revisions. For example, `jj rebase -s B -d B- -d C` now works even if `B` is a merge commit.

- `jj new` now also accepts a `--allow-large-revsets` argument that behaves similarly to `jj rebase --allow-large-revsets`.

- `jj new --insert-before` inserts the new commit between the target commit and its parents.

- `jj new --insert-after` inserts the new commit between the target commit and its children.

- `author`/`committer` templates now support `.username()`, which leaves out the domain information of `.email()`.

- It is now possible to change the author format of `jj log` with the `format_short_signature()` template alias. For details, see the documentation.

- Added support for template aliases. New symbols and functions can be configured by `template-aliases.<name> = <expression>`. Be aware that the template syntax isn't documented yet and is likely to change.

- The `ui.diff-instructions` config setting can be set to `false` to inhibit the creation of the `JJ-INSTRUCTIONS` file as part of diff editing.

### Fixed bugs

- When sharing the working copy with a Git repo, we used to forget to export branches to Git when only the working copy had changed. That's now fixed.

- Commit description set by `-m`/`--message` is now terminated with a newline character, just like descriptions set by editor are.

- The `-R`/`--repository` path must be a valid workspace directory. Its ancestor directories are no longer searched.

- Fixed a crash when trying to access a commit that's never been imported into the jj repo from a Git repo. They will now be considered as non-existent if referenced explicitly instead of crashing.

- Fixed handling of escaped characters in .gitignore (only keep trailing spaces if escaped properly).

- `jj undo` now works after `jj duplicate`.

- `jj duplicate` followed by `jj rebase` of a tree containing both the original and duplicate commit no longer crashes. The fix should also resolve any remaining instances of https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/issues/27.

- Fix the output of `jj debug completion --help` by reversing fish and zsh text.

- Fixed edge case in `jj git fetch` when a pruned branch is a prefix of another branch.

## 0.6.1 - 2022-12-05

No changes, only changed to a released version of the `thrift` crate dependency.

## 0.6.0 - 2022-12-05

### Breaking changes

- Dropped candidates set argument from `description(needle)`, `author(needle)`, `committer(needle)`, `merges()` revsets. Use `x & description(needle)` instead.

- Adjusted precedence of revset union/intersection/difference operators. `x | y & z` is now equivalent to `x | (y & z)`.

- Support for open commits has been dropped. The `ui.enable-open-commits` config that was added in 0.5.0 is no longer respected. The `jj open/close` commands have been deleted.

- `jj commit` is now a separate command from `jj close` (which no longer exists). The behavior has changed slightly. It now always asks for a description, even if there already was a description set. It now also only works on the working-copy commit (there's no `-r` argument).

- If a workspace's working-copy commit has been updated from another workspace, most commands in that workspace will now fail. Use the new `jj workspace update-stale` command to update the workspace to the new working-copy commit. (The old behavior was to automatically update the workspace.)

### New features

- Commands with long output are paginated. #9

- The new `jj git remote rename` command allows git remotes to be renamed in-place.

- The new `jj resolve` command allows resolving simple conflicts with an external 3-way-merge tool.

- `jj git push` will search `@-` for branches to push if `@` has none.

- The new revset function `file(pattern..)` finds commits modifying the paths specified by the `pattern..`.

- The new revset function `empty()` finds commits modifying no files.

- Added support for revset aliases. New symbols and functions can be configured by `revset-aliases.<name> = <expression>`.

- It is now possible to specify configuration options on the command line with the new `--config-toml` global option.

- `jj git` subcommands will prompt for credentials when required for HTTPS remotes rather than failing. #469

- Branches that have a different target on some remote than they do locally are now indicated by an asterisk suffix (e.g. `main*`) in `jj log`. #254

- The commit ID was moved from first on the line in `jj log` output to close to the end. The goal is to encourage users to use the change ID instead, since that is generally more convenient, and it reduces the risk of creating divergent commits.

- The username and hostname that appear in the operation log are now configurable via config options `operation.username` and `operation.hostname`.

- `jj git` subcommands now support credential helpers.

- `jj log` will warn if it appears that the provided path was meant to be a revset.

- The new global flag `-v/--verbose` will turn on debug logging to give some additional insight into what is happening behind the scenes. Note: This is not comprehensively supported by all operations yet.

- `jj log`, `jj show`, and `jj obslog` now all support showing relative timestamps by setting `ui.relative-timestamps = true` in the config file.

### Fixed bugs

- A bug in the export of branches to Git caused spurious conflicted branches. This typically occurred when running in a working copy colocated with Git (created by running `jj init --git-dir=.`). #463

- When exporting branches to Git, we used to fail if some branches could not be exported (e.g. because Git doesn't allow a branch called `main` and another branch called `main/sub`). We now print a warning about these branches instead. #493

- If you had modified branches in jj and also modified branches in conflicting ways in Git, `jj git export` used to overwrite the changes you made in Git. We now print a warning about these branches instead.

- `jj edit root` now fails gracefully.

- `jj git import` used to abandon a commit if Git branches and tags referring to it were removed. We now keep it if a detached HEAD refers to it.

- `jj git import` no longer crashes when all Git refs are removed.

- Git submodules are now ignored completely. Earlier, files present in the submodule directory in the working copy would become added (tracked), and later removed if you checked out another commit. You can now use `git` to populate the submodule directory and `jj` will leave it alone.

- Git's GC could remove commits that were referenced from jj in some cases. We are now better at adding Git refs to prevent that. #815

- When the working-copy commit was a merge, `jj status` would list only the first parent, and the diff summary would be against that parent. The output now lists all parents and the diff summary is against the auto-merged parents.

## 0.5.1 - 2022-10-17

No changes (just trying to get automated GitHub release to work).

## 0.5.0 - 2022-10-17

### Breaking changes

- Open commits are now disabled by default. That means that `jj checkout` will always create a new change on top of the specified commit and will let you edit that in the working copy. Set `ui.enable-open-commits = true` to restore the old behavior and let us know that you did so we know how many people prefer the workflow with open commits.

- `jj [op] undo` and `jj op restore` used to take the operation to undo or restore to as an argument to `-o/--operation`. It is now a positional argument instead (i.e. `jj undo -o abc123` is now written `jj undo abc123`).

- An alias that is not configured as a string list (e.g. `my-status = "status"` instead of `my-status = ["status"]`) is now an error instead of a warning.

- `jj log` now defaults to showing only commits that are not on any remote branches (plus their closest commit on the remote branch for context). This set of commits can be overridden by setting `ui.default-revset`. Use `jj log -r 'all()'` for the old behavior. Read more about revsets here. #250

- `jj new` now always checks out the new commit (used to be only if the parent was `@`).

- `jj merge` now checks out the new commit. The command now behaves exactly like `jj new`, except that it requires at least two arguments.

- When the working-copy commit is abandoned by `jj abandon` and the parent commit is open, a new working-copy commit will be created on top (the open parent commit used to get checked out).

- `jj branch` now uses subcommands like `jj branch create` and `jj branch forget` instead of options like `jj branch --forget`. #330

- The `$NO_COLOR` environment variable no longer overrides the `ui.color` configuration if explicitly set.

- `jj edit` has been renamed to `jj touchup`, and `jj edit` is now a new command with different behavior. The new `jj edit` lets you edit a commit in the working copy, even if the specified commit is closed.

- `jj git push` no longer aborts if you attempt to push an open commit (but it now aborts if a commit does not have a description).

- `jj git push` now pushes only branches pointing to the `@` by default. Use `--all` to push all branches.

- The `checkouts` template keyword is now called `working_copies`, and `current_checkout` is called `current_working_copy`.

### New features

- The new `jj interdiff` command compares the changes in commits, ignoring changes from intervening commits.

- `jj rebase` now accepts a `--branch/-b <revision>` argument, which can be used instead of `-r` or `-s` to specify which commits to rebase. It will rebase the whole branch, relative to the destination. The default mode has changed from `-r @` to `-b @`.

- The new `jj print` command prints the contents of a file in a revision.

- The new `jj git remotes list` command lists the configured remotes and their URLs. #243

- `jj move` and `jj squash` now lets you limit the set of changes to move by specifying paths on the command line (in addition to the `--interactive` mode). For example, use `jj move --to @-- foo` to move the changes to file (or directory) `foo` in the working copy to the grandparent commit.

- When `jj move/squash/unsquash` abandons the source commit because it became empty and both the source and the destination commits have non-empty descriptions, it now asks for a combined description. If either description was empty, it uses the other without asking.

- `jj split` now lets you specify on the CLI which paths to include in the first commit. The interactive diff-editing is not started when you do that.

- Sparse checkouts are now supported. In fact, all working copies are now "sparse", only to different degrees. Use the `jj sparse` command to manage the paths included in the sparse checkout.

- Configuration is now also read from `~/.jjconfig.toml`.

- The `$JJ_CONFIG` environment variable can now point to a directory. If it does, all files in the directory will be read, in alphabetical order.

- The `$VISUAL` environment is now respected and overrides `$EDITOR`. The new `ui.editor` config has higher priority than both of them. There is also a new `$JJ_EDITOR` environment variable, which has even higher priority than the config.

- You can now use `-` and `+` in revset symbols. You used to have to quote branch names like `my-feature` in nested quotes (outer layer for your shell) like `jj co '"my-feature"'`. The quoting is no longer needed.

- The new revset function `connected(x)` is the same as `x:x`.

- The new revset function `roots(x)` finds commits in the set that are not descendants of other commits in the set.

- ssh-agent is now detected even if `$SSH_AGENT_PID` is not set (as long as `$SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is set). This should help at least macOS users where ssh-agent is launched by default and only `$SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is set.

- When importing from a git, any commits that are no longer referenced on the git side will now be abandoned on the jj side as well. That means that `jj git fetch` will now abandon unreferenced commits and rebase any local changes you had on top.

- `jj git push` gained a `--change <revision>` argument. When that's used, it will create a branch named after the revision's change ID, so you don't have to create a branch yourself. By default, the branch name will start with `push-`, but this can be overridden by the `push.branch-prefix` config setting.

- `jj git push` now aborts if you attempt to push a commit without a description or with the placeholder "(no name/email configured)" values for author/committer.

- Diff editor command arguments can now be specified by config file. Example:

      [merge-tools.kdiff3]
      program = "kdiff3"
      edit-args = ["--merge", "--cs", "CreateBakFiles=0"]

- `jj branch` can accept any number of branches to update, rather than just one.

- Aliases can now call other aliases.

- `jj log` now accepts a `--reversed` option, which will show older commits first.

- `jj log` now accepts file paths.

- `jj obslog` now accepts `-p`/`--patch` option, which will show the diff compared to the previous version of the change.

- The "(no name/email configured)" placeholder value for name/email will now be replaced if once you modify a commit after having configured your name/email.

- Color setting can now be overridden by `--color=always|never|auto` option.

- `jj checkout` now lets you specify a description with `--message/-m`.

- `jj new` can now be used for creating merge commits. If you pass more than one argument to it, the new commit will have all of them as parents.

### Fixed bugs

- When rebasing a conflict where one side modified a file and the other side deleted it, we no longer automatically resolve it in favor of the modified content (this was a regression from commit c0ae4b16e8c4).

- Errors are now printed to stderr (they used to be printed to stdout).

- Updating the working copy to a commit where a file's executable bit changed but the contents was the same used to lead to a crash. That has now been fixed.

- If one side of a merge modified a directory and the other side deleted it, it used to be considered a conflict. The same was true if both sides added a directory with different files in. They are now merged as if the missing directory had been empty.

- When using `jj move` to move part of a commit into an ancestor, any branches pointing to the source commit used to be left on a hidden intermediate commit. They are now correctly updated.

- `jj untrack` now requires at least one path (allowing no arguments was a UX bug).

- `jj rebase` now requires at least one destination (allowing no arguments was a UX bug).

- `jj restore --to <rev>` now restores from the working copy (it used to restore from the working copy's parent).

- You now get a proper error message instead of a crash when `$EDITOR` doesn't exist or exits with an error.

- Global arguments, such as `--at-op=<operation>`, can now be passed before an alias.

- Fixed relative path to the current directory in output to be `.` instead of empty string.

- When adding a new workspace, the parent of the current workspace's current checkout will be checked out. That was always the intent, but the root commit was accidentally checked out instead.

- When checking out a commit, the previous commit is no longer abandoned if it has a non-empty description.

- All commands now consistently snapshot the working copy (it was missing from e.g. `jj undo` and `jj merge` before).

## 0.4.0 - 2022-04-02

### Breaking changes

- Dropped support for config in `~/.jjconfig`. Your configuration is now read from `<config dir>/jj/config.toml`, where `<config dir>` is `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}` or `~/.config/` on Linux, `~/Library/Application Support/` on macOS, and `~\AppData\Roaming\` on Windows.

### New features

- You can now set an environment variable called `$JJ_CONFIG` to a path to a config file. That will then be read instead of your regular config file. This is mostly intended for testing and scripts.

- The standard `$NO_COLOR` environment variable is now respected.

- `jj new` now lets you specify a description with `--message/-m`.

- When you check out a commit, the old commit no longer automatically gets abandoned if it's empty and has descendants, it only gets abandoned if it's empty and does not have descendants.

- When undoing an earlier operation, any new commits on top of commits from the undone operation will be rebased away. For example, let's say you rebase commit A so it becomes a new commit A', and then you create commit B on top of A'. If you now undo the rebase operation, commit B will be rebased to be on top of A instead. The same logic is used if the repo was modified by concurrent operations (so if one operation added B on top of A, and one operation rebased A as A', then B would be automatically rebased on top of A'). See #111 for more examples. #111

- `jj log` now accepts `-p`/`--patch` option.

### Fixed bugs

- Fixed crash on `jj init --git-repo=.` (it almost always crashed).

- When sharing the working copy with a Git repo, the automatic importing and exporting (sometimes?) didn't happen on Windows.
