v0.8.0

The Collapsible Release

Directories Are Now Intractable

The main feature of this release is that you can now collapse and expand directories!
In addition you can view the diff for entire directories at once, as well as the entire diff if you're on the root node.

Diffstats

Diff stats in the file tree show you the amount of changes to a file in a glance.
This is on by default and you can turn it off by setting this in your config:

ui:
  showDiffStats: false

Enjoy!

v0.4.0

Switch focus between panes, config file, mouse support and more!

This release is brought to you by @pablospe who made some serious improvements across the board!
Thank you @pablospe, your work is really appreciated! <3

Focus Switching

You can now switch focus between the file tree and the diff by hitting tab.
This lets you use a wider set of movement keybinds like actually navigating one line at a time with j/k.

Config File

diffnav now has a config file (check the readme on how to set it up).
It lets you hide the footer/header, hide the file tree by default or set its width.

Mouse Support

You can now click the files in the tree or scroll the diff with your mouse!

Again, this was all done by @pablospe so give him some love!
