Release:
5.0.0
Description:
Features
- Built-in EGit integration for LFS
- Register builtin LFS on startup. When EGit starts and the lfs bundle (org.eclipse.jgit.lfs) is available register the LFS implementation and check configuration.
- Allow install (enablement) of LFS support in Preferences (global) and on the repository (local).
- Apply smudge/clean filters where applicable and required.
- LFS integration using built-in JGit lfs filters fully works when using Gerrit with lfs plugin using ssh protocol.
- Authentication when transporting lfs objects over http still missing, this is tracked in JGit bug 535814
- 534604 Enable resource selection for launch variables
- 533344 Allow cherry-picking a Gerrit change
- 531953 Allow cherry-picking merge commits
- 529255 Github API: Support diff/patch generation via the Github API
Usability Improvements
- Add tracing of low-level JSch log messages
- Natural sort for refs in FetchResultTable
- Allow shortcuts for Gitflow commands
- 534404 Suggest complete repository path in NewRepositoryWizard
- 529449 Natural sort for tags in CreateTagDialog
- 478159 Show affected projects when deleting repository
- 510132 Add support for the "*" as wildcard character in the staging view filter
- 511628 Select repositories via double-click in RepositorySearchDialog
- 533019 Update staging view on repository config changes
- 532458 Remove some margins in staging view
Performance Improvements
- 535516 Use hash lookup for TreeViewers
- Ignore IndexChangedEvent if it originates from the same JGit process
- 500106 Improve asynchronous Eclipse workspace refreshes done by EGit
- Speed up the RepositoriesViewContentProvider
- Use PathFilterGroup instead of PathFilter if possible. TreeWalks looking for a single path can use PathFilterGroup instead of PathFilter. This should be a little bit faster.
- In EGit use mmap to map git packfiles into memory. Avoids allocating JGit buffer cache on the Java heap.
