[ANNOUNCE] tig-0.16

[Jonas Fonseca]

Salut,

A new version of tig is available. Thanks to everyone who provided
patches and input.

In the pipe-line are changes to finally rewrite the graph visualisation
(currently being rebased in wip/graph) and retire the log view.

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
-------------
Incompatibilities:

 - Encode everything internally as UTF-8. This can affect performance,
   but should in general improve handling of character lengths etc.
   Also, to properly handle UTF-8 environments use ncurses with wide
   character support.
 - The use of TIG_{MAIN,DIFF,LOG,TREE,BLOB}_CMD environment variables
   has been deprecated. To allow configuration of the diff view,
   TIG_DIFF_OPTS can be used.

Improvements:

 - Plug several memory leaks.
 - Command line arguments are split into diff, revision, and file
   arguments and made available as %(diffargs), %(revargs), and
   %(fileargs). Diff view will limit diffs using %(fileargs).
 - Status view: update the file variable when a line is selected so
   %(file) works as expected.
 - Branch view: add %(branch) symbol providing access to the selected
   branch.
 - Branch view: add entry to browse all branches (uses git-log's --all
   flag).
 - Abbreviation of author names can now be configured and toggled.
 - Mark detached heads with [HEAD].
 - Add support for displaying dates in local time.

Bug fixes:

 - Status view: fix usage from sub directories, which was broken by the
   changes made to support blame view from sub directories.
 - Fix text expansion to not truncate long lines
 - Fix parsing of boolean show-date values.
 - Fix relative date.
 - Fix unbind to behave as if the keybinding was never defined.
 - Fix unbind to also cover built-in run requests.
 - Fix parsing of unknown keymap names.
 - Blame view: fix parent blame to detect renames. It uses "previous"
   line info from the blame porcelain output added in git version 1.6.3.
