Changelog

Configure AI Completion to use other services than OpenAI by customising endpoint.

Shortcuts actions are able to work on submodules. Start configuring the shortcut to use the parent repository and when picking a second time submodules are available at the beginning of the list.

Fix issue where diff for empty files that had never been committed would be shown as if it was images.

Upgraded to libgit2 1.8.0

This enables push options (equivalent to --push-option= and -o) from the Push To… dialog that are useful for continuous integration. Multiple options are written with space between them and options that include space should be "double quoted" where special characters can be backslash escaped.

Push options are remembered for each repository and previously used options are available in the auto complete menu making it easy to pick previously used options.

Push To… with these new capabilities is a pro feature available to users that purchased or upgraded their pro unlock after March 20, 2019.

AI Completion can be configured to use gpt-4-turbo-preview instead of gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct for more context aware, higher quality but slower and more expensive completions.

Commit dialog will correctly display staged changes in the special case where a modified line have been staged but changed in the working directory to something else that is different from both staged line and latest commit.

Command Up/Down on physical keyboard scrolls the editor one page and Command Left/Right scroll to the top or end of the file.

Screens that show commit lists work better with dynamic type.

Color adjustments to increase contrast and readability.

Support for IPv6 addresses in SSH Upload & SSH Command. You need to wrap addresses in square brackets to include custom port.

Faster and more robust calculation of message history when writing commit messages.

.asc files are seen as AsciiDoc by default.

AI Completion no longer supports custom Javascript for requesting completion. While I apologise to the few people that used this, performance is much better without it.

WebP images are correctly shown in Content tab.

When following [[Wiki Links]] the file extension is automatically added if needed. Space will also be replaced with - or _ as needed.

Fix bug configuring SSH key for Git remotes on iPad.

Upgrade to libssh2 1.11.1 to mitigate CVE-2023-48795 "Terrapin Attack"

Improvements to AI Completion making it much easier to pick parts of a completion.

Text color shows how much is included when you touch the completion, updating as the finger moves and inserting the completion when the finger is lifted.

When editing the AI Completion script it is possible to import from a javascript file.

AI Completion now allows you to customise the prompt, the model and even the service used. Default behaviour is unchanged but by editing Javascript you can control how the context around the cursor is collected, how the API call is made and how the result is returned.

Check out AI Completion in Settings.

Fixed bug where toggling list checkmarks in Markdown/AsciiDoc/orgmode would change the wrong character if there had been very recent edits.

Holiday Activity in settings no longer adds empty week in your GitHub activity graph. Reuse the feature to fix your GitHub activity.

This requires your own OpenAI API key and is enabled for repositories individually to make sure nothing is sent to OpenAI without your consent.

Text completions appear as you edit and can be ignored as you keep typing or move the cursor. Tap the completion to insert up to this point, which is useful when only the start of the completion is needed. Tabular on external keyboards will insert the entire completion.

SSH transport connections are initiated in a way that works better with VPNs.

Fixed some possible crashes.

Use AI generated commit messages derived from the changes you are about to commit. Tap button to the left of summary field that shows a list of previous commit messages and pick AI Suggestions.

Your code and text differences will be going through the OpenAI API so there are privacy issues you have to consider on a project-by-project basis. You still have access to fully local auto-complete based on recent commit messages, modified filenames, diff content & frequent word pairs from public repositories.

Editor uses TreeSitter for incremental syntax highlighting when editing Java, OCaml, LaTeX and Lua.

You should notice syntax highlighting being available immediately when files of this type are opened
and that highlighting colours update without delay as you type.

TreeSitter support will be added to more languages in the next few updates. I'm intentionally holding back the most popular languages to expose fewer people to potential bugs missed during testing.

Protect your data with the Screen Lock that blocks access to the main app, Shortcuts actions, Files app and share sheet extension until you enter a passcode or authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. Screen Lock is configured inside settings.

This is meant to protect from mistakes by children and friends borrowing your iPhone or iPad. Having a strong device passcode and keeping your device locked is safer as repositories, passwords, authentication tokens and ssh keys are stored using data protection measures in iOS and only readable when device is unlocked.

Fix bug that could happen when setting up linking between existing repository inside Working Copy and external folder/package where external directory had previously been linked to Working Copy.

Includes the major changes from v4.8.5:

Manage repositories outside the Working Copy location keeping them on iCloud Drive, locally on your device or on remote servers via Secure ShellFish.

When adding repositories you tap "Link external directory" and pick a folder in the Files app. This will appear as any other repository inside Working Copy and as you edit, commit, push and pull the changes are made to the original linked directory.

Since Working Copy needs folder-level access this can only work with Files app locations that support picking folders. Unfortunately the major cloud storage solutions only support granting file-level access.

A .git folder is created if the directory you pick isn't a repository but kept inside Working Copy to not confuse other apps.
