[ANNOUNCE] tig-0.12

[Jonas Fonseca]

Hello,

Here goes tig version 0.12 after several bug fixes and improvements have
accumulated. This is the first release with a proper NEWS file from
which the notes for this release is included below. The rendering code
has been cleaned up and simplified so if you notice any regressions,
such as slow downs, please report them. Enjoy!

What is tig?
------------
Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for
commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various git
commands.

Release notes
-------------
Improvements:

 - F5 also refreshes the current view.
 - Allow line graphics to be disabled with new line-graphics option.
 - Main view: also include the reference names when searching.
 - Main view: support for refreshing.
 - Main view: disable boundary commits by default. Use --boundary when
   they should be shown. (Debian bug 498628)
 - Stage view: add stage-next action to jump to next diff chunk that can
   be staged. By default bound to '@'.
 - Configure: check for the ncurses header files.
 - Add author-width option to costumize the width of the author column.
   For example, put the following in ~/.tigrc: set author-width = 10

Bug fixes:

 - Fix regression when staging all diff chunks in a section.
 - Bind the maximize view action to 'O'; it conflicted with the
   keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view.
 - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code. Some shells (jsh)
   installed as /bin/sh does not support it.
 - Do not show incomplete boundary commits when --no-walk is used.
 - Documentation: Rename gitlink macro to support AsciiDoc 8.2.3.
 - Ignore pipe reads with errno "Success" reported after a signals,
   for example when refreshing doing background loading.
