Release notes
Added
- Fresh commits show up on their own — auto-fetch on panel open. When you
open a single repo, gitwink runs a quiet git fetch origin in the background
so a teammate's just-pushed commits appear without you reaching for the
terminal. On by default (a one-time notice explains it the first time);
turn it off in Settings → Auto-fetch. It is pinned to origin with a
branch-only refspec and runs with repo hooks disabled, so it only ever
updates the remote-tracking mirror — never your branches, working tree, or
history. gitwink still has no merge / push / rewrite features, so it cannot
damage your work.
- File history — the commits that touched one file. Hover a file in the
diff window and click 🕘 to scope the timeline to that file's history,
newest first, drawn as a single thread through the revisions. (Renames
aren't followed across history yet.)
Changed
- "Full" diffs of huge files scroll smoothly now. The side-by-side view is
virtualized — only the lines on screen are rendered and highlighted — so a
multi-thousand-line file opens and scrolls without the stutter, and dragging
the old/new splitter stays fluid.
- Honest about the network. gitwink no longer claims "no network" — it was
never strictly true (the updater checks GitHub), and the new auto-fetch
reaches your own origin. PRIVACY.md and the READMEs now disclose exactly
what talks to the network — both optional, both to services you already use —
and lead with what actually matters: fast, lightweight, and read-only where
it counts.
