SmartGit 17.0.

2 (2017-02-09)
============================
New Features, Improvements
--------------------------
- Git:
- Refresh: untracked/missing rename detection honors
"core.jgit.similarityFileSizeLimit"
to avoid out-of-memory errors

Fixed Bugs
----------
- Git:
- Log:
- GitHub: possible endless refreshing
- GitHub: updated default fingerprint
- GitHub, other hosting providers: do not warn for changed fingerprint if it's a
known, new fingerprint
- undone "automatically set java.net.useSystemProxies=true (if not set) to
improve auto-detection of proxies" because it causes to always use the system
proxy, even if "no proxy" was configured in SmartGit
- GUI (Windows): sort column was too dark in default bright theme

SmartGit 17.0.1 (2017-01-27)

============================
New Features, Improvements
--------------------------
- automatically set java.net.useSystemProxies=true (if not set) to improve

forced push failed because of incoming changes, just fetching the changes
and trying to perform the forced push again was possible)
- register URL handler for git:// and github-mac://

(whitespace is less important for detecting similar blocks)
- Compare, Index Editor, Conflict Solver: Next/Prev Change moves caret in all
panes, not just the focused one

- File completion input field: if upper-case character has been entered, an
upper-case match is preselected

context menu

favorite any more

Fixed Bugs
----------
- Git:

- Conflict Solver: did not properly 'switch' left and right for 'apply'-
refase (invoked from outside SmartGit)
 - Refresh (Linux): rapid .gitignore modifications could cause high CPU usage
for a longer time
- Compare, Index Editor, Conflict Solver: undoing changes out of view did not
scroll the undone change into view
