* The "name" field in the "Create Tag" dialog now includes autocompletion, which makes it easy to see which tags currently exist.
* git cola now has configurable toolbars. Use the View -> Add toolbar menu item to add a toolbar.
* Setting cola.expandtab to true will now expand tabs into spaces in the commit message editor. The number of spaces to insert is determined by consulting cola.tabwidth, which defaults to 8.
* The "Copy SHA-1" hotkey is now Alt + Ctrl + C, to avoid clobbering the ability to copy text from the DAG window.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/705
* The "Prepare Commit Message" action can now be invoked via the Ctrl+Shift+Return shortcut.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/707
* The Branches pane now has a filter field that highlights branches whose names match the string entered into its text field.
* https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/713
* Actions that are triggered in response to button presses were being triggered when the button was pressed, rather than when it was released, which was a usability flaw. All buttons now respond when clicked rather than when pressed.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/715
* The DAG window will now only refresh when object IDs change. Previously, the DAG would redraw itself in response to inotify events, such as filesystem operations, which was disruptive when inspecting a large diff in its diff viewer. The DAG will now only redraw when the object IDs corresponding to its query input changes. Furthermore, when redrawing, the scrollbar positions are retained to minimize disruption to the viewport contents.

* git cola can now invoke the .git/hooks/cola-prepare-commit-msg hook to update the commit message. This hook takes the same parameters as Git’s prepare-commit-message hook. The default path to this hook can be overridden by setting the cola.prepareCommitMessageHook configuration variable.

  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/598
* The Bypass Commit Hooks feature now disables itself automatically when a new commit is created. The new behavior turns the option into a single-use flag, which helps prevent users from accidentally leaving it active longer than intended.
  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/595

  https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/468

* The About page can now be accessed via git cola about.
* The “Fast-forward only” and “No fast-forward” options supported by git pull are now accessible via git cola pull.

* When repositories stored in non-ASCII, UTF-8-encoded filesystem paths were operated upon with LC_ALL=C set in the environment, unicode errors would occur when using python2. git cola was made more robust and will now operate correctly within this environment.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/581
* Support for the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable was fixed.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/pull/582
- Development
* The unittest.mock module is now used instead of the original mock module when running the git cola test suite using Python3.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/569
- Packaging
* git cola is now compatible with PyQt5, PyQt4, and Pyside. git cola previously supported PyQt4 only, but will now use whichever library is available. Users are not required to upgrade at this time, but PyQt5 support can be enabled anytime by making its python modules available.
https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/232
NOTE: We do not yet recommend using PyQt5 because there are known exit-on-segfault bugs in Qt5 that have not yet been addressed. git cola is sensitive to this bug and is known to crash on exit when using git dag or the interactive rebase feature on PyQt5.
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-52988
* PyQt4 is stable and there are no known issues when using it so we recommend using it until the Qt5 bugs have been resolved.
git cola now depends on QtPy and includes a bundled copy of the qtpy library. If you are packaging git cola and would prefer to use qtpy from your distribution instead of the built-in version then use make NO_VENDOR_LIBS=1 when building git cola. This will prevent vendored libraries from being installed.
