Release Notes: This minor update adds basic support for line wrapping, a vertical view split mode, autobuild improvements, and a lazy navigation mode (which avoid loading child views). Note that tig no longer uses move/copy detection by default, to work better on large repositories. See the release notes for the full list of changes and how to restore the old behavior.
