Renamed files are now listed as such, instead of delete and add.
History list indicates signed commits with a ✸ (security seal) icon. Signatures are not currently verified; the icon just indicates the presence of a signature.
Sidebar icons differentiate between lightweight tags, annotated tags, and signed tags (again, not verified).
Annotated tags have an info popover showing the creator, date, and message.
Commit message trailers are also shown in the header area.
The Clone panel can now authenticate for private repositories.
Hidden/shown history columns are remembered.
Larger default window size.
Hardened runtime enabled.
Various things were rewritten in SwiftUI. Fun!
macOS 12 is now the minimum.
Now features a build for Apple Silicon.
Fixes
Changes to tags did not cause the sidebar to update.
Fixed a large memory leak for every opened repository window.
Improved performance of the Clean panel with large file counts (by converting from SwiftUI.List to NSTableView). My test case was about 100k files.
Right-clicking on a file that was not selected would bring up a menu full of disabled commands.
1.0b16
2 years ago
New & changed
Requires macOS 11.3
Clone command for cloning local and remote repositories
Clean command for deleting untracked and ignored files, as with git clean
User interface updates for macOS 11
Most interface icons changed to SF Symbols
macOS 11 style integrated toolbar with full-height sidebar (and the proxy icon is finally draggable)
Clicking on the SHA in the commit info panel copies it to the clipboard (this panel was also rewritten in SwiftUI, yay!)
Refs (branches and tags) can be displayed in a separate column in the history list
Fixes
Multi-line config settings were getting corrupted if Xit saved changes to your config file. This was fixed by adding an app level config file stored in ~/Library/Application Support/xit.config.
Fast-forward merges could sometimes lose non-conflicting workspace changes. The workaround for now is to use command-line Git for fast-forward merges.
Minor improvements to Bitbucket integration.
Fixed issues with split views on macOS 11.
Improved performance (again) for loading TeamCity build results.
Better matching when finding TeamCity builds - matching host name and path, ignoring user name or http vs ssh.
The history list didn't always resize the graph column as you resized the window.
Stage, Unstage, and Revert buttons were shown for stashes.
1.0b15

New & Changed
The commit history is now loaded partially at first, and then more as needed if you scroll down far enough.
Fetch, Push, and Pull buttons in the toolbar now have menus for selecting specific remotes or branches.
Implemented the Reset command.
Added support for GitLab accounts so your password (or access token) can automatically be used when pushing or pulling.
Workspace status is now displayed in window tabs.
Option to show committer name, committer date, and SHA columns in the history list
Option (on by default) to strip comment lines in commit messages
Window toolbar redone using actual toolbar items instead of one big custom view. Mainly this lays the groundwork for a macOS Big Sur style interface.
Fixes
The history graph would become corrupted when there were more than 256 branch lines passing through a commit.
Creating a new commit, and then selecting it in the history list, would end up with the old branch head selected instead.
Attempting to reopen a repository that has been deleted would cause a crash.
Sidebar status indicators now update after pushing to a remote.

New & Changed
Filter field at the bottom of the sidebar.
Add button at the bottom of the sidebar, with a menu for creating branches, tags, and remotes.
Option (on by default) to automatically reset the Amend checkbox after committing or switching branches.
Fetch and pull redone to use libgit2 directly instead of Objective Git. Hopefully ssh support was improved somewhat in the process.
File previews redone to use the new WKWebView API instead of the old deprecated WebView.
New icons for the fetch, push and pull buttons.
An ellipsis is now shown in the history list when a commit message has more than one line.
Fixes
Refreshing build and pull request status could be very slow, causing the app to hang for a while, on repositories with large numbers of branches. It can still be slow, but it's better.
"This hunk cannot be applied" was shown on new files.
"This is a binary file" was shown for folders.
Build status indicators in the sidebar were sometimes not clickable.
Build status and pull requests were not getting loaded initially, and so were not shown until the first 5-minute refresh.
The branch list in the title bar popup is alphabetized
1.0b13

New
Confirmation dialogs for discarding hunks and stashes
Improved finding passwords in the keychain for Git network operations (push & fetch)
The sidebar retains expanded items when reloading
New build status icons, including an in-progress indicator
Fixes
The "Check Out" command was accidentally called Rename
In outline view, deleted files showed up under duplicate folder entries
Stage and Unstage commands were shown when a stash was selected
"Create Tracking Branch" is now only enabled when a remote branch is selected
Closing a window when a password prompt was about to appear could hang the app
Rearranged the new/edit account sheet
Different repository windows showing forks/clones of the same repository no longer synchronize their selections
The Edit Account sheet shows the correct service type
Accounts can be edited even if the password is missing in the Keychain
Fixed a crash that could occasionally happen when displaying new file diffs
1.0b12
5 years ago
Features
Multiple files can be selected in the file lists
Account settings can be edited in Preferences
Option to automatically collapse the history list when in staging view
The build status popover now has a refresh button
Added a refresh button to reload the Staged and Workspace lists
Fixes
Updated to the latest libgit2 which should fix the crash at launch when libcrypto is not installed.
Various dark mode improvements, such as updating the diff/blame views when switching appearances
Between the workspace list and the staged list, only one will have a selection, to make it clearer what file contents are being shown
The "new tag" dialog no longer requires a slash in the tag name
Fixed "this hunk cannot be applied" appearing in commit diffs
Search and view button states are updated when splitters are moved
Improved load time with a large number of remote branches
Alerts are shown when errors happen with online services (Bitbucket and TeamCity)
Improved sorting of branches and tags in the sidebar, particularly when they contain numbers (10 no longer goes between 1 and 2)
Detecting changes in workspace files had stopped working. Fixed that.
A deadlock could happen if the sidebar tried to reload while a password dialog was open for a network operation.
1.0b11

New things:
When you sign in to Bitbucket Server, icons for pull requests from a registered remote are shown on the source branches in the sidebar. The icons have a popup menu for approving, viewing in the browser, etc. PRs from other repositories, and support for other services (like GitHub), will come later.
A new Stash button in the toolbar with various commands and options
Fixes:
Fixed a crash that could happen when something triggered a refresh
Fixed spurious refreshing that could happen when opening blame view or on a regular check for file changes
Fixed blame view sometimes loading multiple times for a file
When selecting a remote branch, the sidebar no longer selects the corresponding local branch instead
Fixed the sidebar cloud icons being clickable when they were not in the warning state
Fixed the crash when canceling the password prompt
Improved sizing of the various split views when the window is resized

New things:
Find feature to search commits by summary, name/email, or SHA.
Better support for ssh in remotes.
New command for creating a local branch tracking a remote branch.
The Revert command, for reverting changed workspace files, now has a confirmation dialog.
Show Ignored Files now works. Tree view hides them when the option is off (it used to always show them).
Opening a repository dismisses the Open panel if it's showing.
Fixes:
Improved load times for large repositories. I'm pretty sure it used to be this fast, and now it is again.
Fixed some cases where TeamCity build status wasn't showing correctly in the sidebar.
Fixed some memory leaks.
Closing a window before it finishes processing the history list will abort processing.
