[ANNOUNCE] qgit 1.0

[Marco Costalba <mcostalba@yahoo.it>]

qgit, a git GUI viewer.

With qgit you will be able to browse revisions history, view patch content and changed
files, graphically following different development branches.


FEATURES

  - View revisions, diffs, files history, files annotation, archive tree.

  - Commit changes visually cherry picking modified files.

  - Apply or format patch series from selected commits, drag and
    drop commits between two instances of qgit.

   - qgit implements a GUI for the most common StGIT commands like push/pop
    and apply/format patches. You can also create new patches or refresh
    current top one using the same semantics of git commit, i.e. cherry picking
    single modified files.


NEW IN THIS RELEASE

 From the last release candidate qgit has undergone an heavy stress test by me
and Pavel. We have found and fixed many crash bugs.
These bugs may not be exploitable by a 'normal' use of the tool, anyway we
feel qgit is pretty stable now.

Another, important, fix is a nasty and subtle 'data missing while loading' bug.
This one, reported and debugged by Pavel Roskin, is due to an elusive race and
is visible only on some platforms and only under certain conditions.

Thanks to everybody who helped qgit with patches and suggestions and particularly to Pavel.
