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

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 page below: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/git-addon.html 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 -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor
