WHAT’S NEW

Version 4.3:

New features:

• Git File History now recognizes file renames and moves. You will now see the entire history of a file, even if it has been renamed or moved in the past. See the exact change in the commit detail popover. And there is the ability to search for all names of a file in the filter at the bottom of the list.
• Integration with Git Accounts. Kaleidoscope will try to find a base URL for a known account type and automatically create links to issues, commits and branches where appropriate. Currently, GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket are supported, others will follow as needed. Click the small gear icon in the commit details popover to configure in case your repository has multiple remotes.
• Display of Git References. Both the header in the merge document as well as the commit details will now list references (branches, tags) pointing to a commit.
• Markdown in commit messages. While we were adding ticket and commit links, we also added styled display of markdown content in commit messages (again, in the commit details). We deeply enjoy that change and encourage everybody to use markdown in commit messages. A future self and your coworkers will thank you for the enhanced readability.
• Enhancements:
• Support for Display P3 color profile in Image Comparison. Kaleidoscope now knows how to properly read and display images in saved with a Display P3 color profile. Apart from obvious technical use cases, this makes a (sometimes subtle) visual difference with photos shot on iPhone 7 and later.
• Windows of recent documents will now remember their screen position and reopen where you closed them before.
• Improve keyboard navigating and working with the Git File History.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a few minor macOS Sonoma glitches.
• A few other fixes we don’t bother to mention in detail (aka. “bug fixes and performance improvements”)
