[oXygen-user] [ANN] Version 4.0.2 of the Git Client add-on has been released!

[Alin Belu]

Hello everyone,

We are extremely proud to announce the release for *version 4.0.2* of 
the *Git Client add-on*!

 From the beginning, the main purpose for this add-on was to increase 
the functionality of the Oxygen ecosystem by providing our users with a 
dependable Git staging option that is easy to access right from the 
editor. In version 4.0.2 of the Git Client add-on, we expanded its 
functionality even further with improvements such as:
* The History view now includes a new revision graph that helps you 
understand how commits connect with one another.
* You now have the ability to manage remote repositories (add, edit or 
delete), track a remote branch for the current branch, or to edit the 
repository's configuration file.
* A new Git menu that contains various Git actions was added to the main 
menu bar.
* In the History view you can choose which branches will have the 
history shown. You have the following options: Current branch, Current 
local branch, All branches, All local branches.
* A new Checkout action was added to the History view contextual menu to 
check out a branch at a specific commit (either in detached head form or 
by creating a new branch at that commit).
* A combo box was added in the Git staging view to switch between local 
branches.
* The Git Staging view toolbar was simplified to only include the most 
important actions (while all actions are available in a new three 
vertical dots menu).
* Performance was improved by optimizing the process of checking the 
status of the repository.
* The Stash dialog box now has a column that shows the creation time for 
each stash.
* Fixed an issue where the index got reset after pulling changes from 
the remote.

To install the add-on, follow this procedure:
1. Go to *Help > Install new add-ons* to open an add-on selection dialog 
box. Enter or paste 
https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Addons/default/updateSite.xml in the 
Show add-ons from field or select it from the drop-down menu.
2. Select the *Git Client* add-on and click *Next*.
3. Read the end-user license agreement. Then select the *I accept all 
terms of the end-user license agreement* option and click *Finish*.
4. Restart the application.

*Result:* The Git Staging view is now available. To open the view, 
select *Git Staging* from the *Window > Show View* menu (or select *Git 
Client* from the *Tools* menu). This view acts as a basic Git client 
integrated directly in Oxygen XML Editor, and it provides support for 
committing changes to a Git repository, comparing and merging changes, 
resolving conflicts, and other Git commands.

For more information, see the details for the Git Client add-on on the

We hope that you will enjoy using the latest release of the Git Client 
add-on as much as we enjoyed developing it. As always, feedback is welcome!

Best regards,
Alin
