Version 2026.1  -- n e w --^2026.1 

Custom Email Templates

Besides the standard email templates you can now freely customize individual email templates to be sent directly via the menu or integrated into user defined tools.

To customize new templates use Project / Preferences... / Email Notifications / Custom Templates.

To send the emails directly use the new Extras / Send Custom Email Notification menu.

For integration into your tools select the Internal Commands / <send-email ARGS> command from the context menu of a command field. This will open a dialog where you can select the template and even change the email recipants if you like.

Like with almost all preferences you can even load the custom templates via a separte configuration file when starting QuickRev with option --config.

Open File In External Editor

The files tab panel has a new context menu entry Open Latest Version In External Editor which opens the latest version of the file (if it can be found locally) in the external editor configured in Projects / Preferences... / General.

Change Git Log Settings

The current git log settings will be shown in the status bar and can now be changed directly via menu Extras / Change Git Log Settings....

GIT log -c support

With newer git versions (starting with 2.29.0) the behaviour of git log -m changed so that also merge commits are included which do not affect the file content. git log -c can be used as a substitution to reach the same result as -m before (even in older git versions).

Update history in current git worktree only

New option QuickRev --history --update-git-worktree to update the history database only for the reviews in the current git working directory.

Miscellaneous

• Enhanced --auto-gen-reviews output in History Dialog of a file and in QuickRevBoard in case of following the SHA1 review chain of a file to a full review sucessfully and even in case no full review could be found.
• QuickRevBoard: symbolic links will be ignored when collecting files.
• Show reviewers in tool tips of review history dialog.
• Starting QuickRev in full screen mode can be selected via Project / Preferences... / Appearance.
• In case you have trouble with your window manager because of the splash screen you can disable it now via Project / Preferences... / Appearance.
• Set focus to comment text when adding new comments via the context menu, to start typing without additional mouse clicks.
• Upgraded H2 database version to 2.4.240

Fixes

• Git graph not shown in case of not loading the complete git log history of the file, and it ends somewhere in between merged branches.
• WARNING: row index is bigger than sorter's row count. Most likely this is a wrong sorter usage.
• NullPointerException which occurred sometimes when generating the QuickRevBoard with multiple threads.
