v1.8

[alphapapa]

Additions

• Branch-specific TODOs are also cached (to avoid rescanning when automatic updates are disabled. This can improve performance in large repos).
• Option magit-todos-upate-remote allows automatic scanning in remote repositories. (#157. Thanks to Angus Gratton.)

Changes

• Remote repositories are no longer automatically scanned (see new option magit-todos-update-remote).
• Option magit-todos-keyword-suffix defaults to allowing suffixes to be enclosed by parentheses or brackets (rather than just parentheses).
• Minor improvements to warnings about files containing very long lines: display as messages instead of warnings, and signal errors from outside the process sentinel.

Removals

• Obsolete option magit-todos-insert-at, replaced by option magit-todos-insert-after. (Scheduled for removal since v1.6.)

Fixes

• Disable external diff drivers when calling git diff. (#174. Thanks to Aaron Zeng.)
• The branch diff scanner was incorrectly treated as a fallback scanner. (See #186. Thanks to Karl Hallsby for reporting.)

Compatibility

• Update test for git-grep scanner compatibility for newer versions of Git. (See #186. Thanks to Karl Hallsby.)

Documentation

• Added FAQ section.
