Tower<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Auto-expand changesets: A new view option has been added to configure behaviour of auto-expanding diffs in the History changeset views. You can find it under “Diffs in Changeset” in the “View” main menu.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is great. I always want to see the changes expanded unless they’re huge.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Show branch\/commit in History: You can now reveal a branch, tag or any commit in the Tower’s History view by selecting “Reveal in History” from the context menu.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This refers to clicking on a branch\/commit in the sidebar<\/em>, not one shown as a bubble in the history. It then reveals it in the history<\/em>, which is nice.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Snapshots: Create snapshots of your working copy or individual changed files. Changes are safely stored in a stash but they remain in your working tree. This feature is available from the context menu of changed files or from the “Working Copy” main menu.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In other words, you can now easily save in-progress work without creating a commit. I used to do this by creating a stash (which clears the working copy) and applying it (but saving the stash).<\/p>\n\n

\n

Large diffs: Large diffs are not displayed automatically anymore. Instead, you will be prompted to display the diff. The threshold for displaying the warning can now be configured in the General preferences.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This should prevent freezes when skimming through lots of commits.<\/p>\n\n
