CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

All notable user-visible changes to Hunk are documented in this file.

Unreleased

Added

• Added Windows x64 prebuilt artifact publishing to the release workflow.

Changed

Fixed

0.12.0-beta.1 - 2026-05-10

Added

• Added Homebrew tap release automation and Homebrew-aware startup update notices.
• Added lower-level hunkdiff/opentui primitives for embedding Hunk diff bodies, file headers, file navigation, and multi-file review streams in custom OpenTUI apps.
• Added row windowing for large single-file reviews to keep huge diffs responsive.

Changed

Fixed

• Fixed the prebuilt beta npm package so the hunkdiff/opentui export and bundled type declarations are included.
• Made hunk pager emit static highlighted diff output for captured pager contexts like LazyGit, and pass diff input through unchanged when stdout is non-interactive.
• Fixed Ctrl-Z job-control suspend support so Hunk can suspend and resume cleanly from a terminal.
• Fixed Windows compatibility issues across paths, packaging, and tests.

0.11.1 - 2026-05-10

Added

Changed

• Auto-detect Jujutsu checkouts for hunk diff and hunk show, while keeping explicit vcs config overrides.

Fixed

• Fixed large tracked and untracked file handling so very large diffs render as skipped placeholders instead of slowing startup or overflowing the JavaScript call stack.
• Fixed Git patch parsing for diff.noprefix=true input so Hunk restores parser-safe a/ and b/ prefixes without mangling real paths.
• Fixed hunk pager parsing for Git diffs emitted with diff.mnemonicPrefix=true so file paths do not keep i/, w/, c/, 1/, or 2/ side prefixes.
• Fixed review scrolling so viewport updates are coalesced and no longer risk a render loop.
• Fixed agent comment hunk ranges so context lines from hunk headers remain part of the target range.
• Fixed untracked-file reviews in repositories with external diff tools configured by passing --no-ext-diff.
• Fixed diff geometry for hunks with multiple agent notes so offscreen notes no longer skew scrolling measurements.

0.11.0 - 2026-05-09

Added

• Added vcs = "jj" support, enabling hunk diff [revset] and hunk show [revset].
• Added a pager-mode sidebar file tree that can be revealed with the existing s shortcut while keeping pager chrome hidden by default.

Changed

Fixed

• Fixed git log -p and multi-commit git show -p inputs so patch parsing ignores commit metadata instead of emitting Pierre parser warnings.
• Fixed cross-file hunk navigation so near-boundary jumps keep the selected file pinned and backward jumps reveal the target hunk instead of the file top.
• Fixed the View menu sidebar checkmark so it follows whether the responsive layout is actually rendering the sidebar.

0.10.0 - 2026-04-21

Added

• Added agent comment counts in the sidebar so review-heavy files stand out at a glance.
• Added hunk daemon serve as the standard daemon entrypoint and published reusable session-broker packages plus an OpenTUI diff component for integrators.

Changed

• Included untracked files when hunk diff <ref> still compares against the live working tree, while keeping explicit revset diffs commit-to-commit only.

Fixed

• Enabled mouse scrolling in pager mode.
• Balanced Pierre word-level highlights so split-view inline changes stay visible without overpowering the surrounding diff row.
• Smoothed mouse-wheel review scrolling so small diffs stay precise while sustained wheel gestures still speed up.
• Fixed Shift+mouse-wheel horizontal scrolling so it no longer leaks a one-line vertical scroll in some terminals.

0.9.5 - 2026-04-21

Added

• Added a Modem sponsor block to the README.

Changed

Fixed

0.9.4 - 2026-04-14

Added

• Added hunk skill path to print the bundled Hunk review skill path for direct loading or symlinking in coding agents.

Changed

• Show a one-time startup notice after version changes that points users with copied agent skills to hunk skill path.

Fixed

• Restored execute permissions for packaged prebuilt binaries so npm install -g hunkdiff works on root-owned installs without spawnSync … EACCES failures.

0.9.3 - 2026-04-13

Fixed

• Normalized rename-only diff paths so pure renames keep one clean old/path -> new/path header in the review UI (#194).

0.9.2 - 2026-04-11

0.9.1 - 2026-04-10

Fixed
