Release v0.18.0 · jj-vcs/jj

Dropped support for ui.default-revset config (replaced by revsets.log in
0.8.0).
The commit_summary_no_branches template is superseded by
templates.branch_list.
jj split will now refuse to split an empty commit.
jj config list now uses multi-line strings and single-quoted strings in the
output when appropriate.
jj config get/list/set now parse name argument as TOML
key. Quote meta characters as needed.
Example: jj config get "revset-aliases.'trunk()'"
When updating the working copy away from an empty and undescribed commit, it
is now abandoned even if it is a merge commit.
If a new working-copy commit is created because the old one was abandoned, and
the old commit was merge, then the new commit will now also be.
#2859
jj new's --insert-before/--insert-after options must now be set for each
commit the new commit will be inserted before/after. Previously, those options
were global flags and specifying them once would insert the new commit before/
after all the specified commits.

Attempting to alias a built-in command now gives a warning, rather than being
silently ignored.

jj branch list/tag list now accept -T/--template option. The tag list
prints commit summary along with the tag name by default.
Conflict markers now include an explanation of what each part of the conflict
represents.
ui.color = "debug" prints active labels alongside the regular colored output.
jj branch track now show conflicts if there are some.
A new revset reachable(srcs, domain) will return all commits that are
reachable from srcs within domain.
There are now prebuilt binaries for aarch64-linux-unknown-musl.
Note, these are cross compiled and currently untested.
We plan on providing fully tested builds later once our CI system allows it.
Added new revsets mutable() and immutable().
Upgraded scm-record from v0.2.0 to v0.3.0. See release notes at
https://github.com/arxanas/scm-record/releases/tag/v0.3.0
New command jj fix that can be configured to update commits by running code
formatters (or similar tools) on changed files. The configuration schema and
flags are minimal for now, with a number of improvements planned (for example,
#3800 and
#3801).
jj new's --insert-before and --insert-after options can now be used
simultaneously.
jj git push now can push commits with empty descriptions with the
--allow-empty-description flag

Previously, jj git push only made sure that the branch is in the expected
location on the remote server when pushing a branch forward (as opposed to
sideways or backwards). Now, jj git push makes a safety check in all cases
and fails whenever jj git fetch would have introduced a conflict.

In other words, previously branches that moved sideways or backward were
pushed similarly to Git's git push --force; now they have protections
similar to git push --force-with-lease (though not identical to it, to match
the behavior of jj git fetch). Note also that because of the way jj git fetch works, jj does not suffer from the same problems as Git's git push --force-with-lease in situations when git fetch is run in the background.
When the working copy commit becomes immutable, a new one is automatically created
on top of it to avoid letting the user edit the immutable one.
jj config list now properly escapes TOML keys (#1322).
Files with conflicts are now checked out as executable if all sides of the
conflict are executable.
The progress bar (visible when using e.g. jj git clone) clears the
remainder of the cursor row after drawing rather than clearing the entire row
before drawing, eliminating the "flicker" effect seen on some terminals.

Thanks to the people who made this release happen!
