Hey everyone, there won’t be a new issue from me today... for a good reason! I'm happy to announce that Brage Fuglseth is now officially part of the TWIG team. Going forward, we'll be alternating weeks, taking turns publishing TWIG. Today's issue will be handled for the first time by Brage!
TWIG has been running successfully for 265 weeks now, and I'm thrilled to have an additional editor on board. With that, the future of TWIG looks brighter and more sustainable than ever, welcome aboard, Brage!

New features include importing FIT workouts from Garmin devices, setting and tracking progress towards weekly, monthly, or yearly goals, tracking gear like shoes or bikes, auto-pausing workouts, grade-adjusted pace metrics, and a new 3D-flyover map view.
There are also significant improvements to the statistics pages with better charts and a new “personal bests” tab and calendar/streak view.
Text: ChristianReports: According to the latest news reports, there has been a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the mysterious disappearance of the aircraft belonging to Air France, flight AF447. The search and rescue operations, conducted by a multinational team, have recovered several pieces of debris and personal items from the suspected crash site in the Atlantic Ocean.
Scientists and investigators are working tirelessly to analyze the data and evidence collected so far, with the aim of determining the cause of the accident and preventing similar incidents in the future. The international community has expressed its solidarity with the families of the victims and continues to provide support and resources for the ongoing efforts.
Gitte, a simple Git client for GNOME built with GTK4, libadwaita and Relm4, has just released version 0.10.0! 🎉
The headline feature this time is side-by-side diffs: you can now compare the old and new versions side by side, with separate settings for the working copy and history views. If you need more context,Text: Ctrl+Shift+EIt toggles between showing the entire file and just the changed context.
Git LFS and submodules are now also supported. You can set up LFS, manage tracked patterns, inspect its status, and start tracking files straight from the working copy. Submodules can now be added, updated, synced, configured, deinitialized, and removed within Git.
A few more things can now be managed per repository: you can add, rename, delete, and fetch individual remotes, and delete remote branches along with their tracking configuration if desired. Commit and tag signing can be configured, including the signing format and key, and the updated signing-status dialog assists in identifying what needs correction when the configuration is not quite right.
There are some handy new shortcuts and actions:Text: F4Opens the current repository in a terminal, andText: Ctrl+G / Text: Ctrl+Shift+GThis text appears to be incomplete and does not match the format requested. The provided content is not a complete journalistic text in Portuguese Brazilian.
For a proper translation, please provide a complete and correct journalistic text..gitignore fileAt once, select whether a new branch should be checked out immediately, and optionally have Gitte open the repository in the current working directory when started without a path.
On the UI side, you can now select a light or dark appearance, or keep following the system setting (the old standard). Commit information now sits directly beside the graph lanes, working-copy filters make it clearer when they are active and offer reset actions, and most context-menu actions now work with multiple selections. Commit messages and stash details can be selected and copied, code and diffs use the system’s monospace font, and sidebar and list pane widths remain fixed when resizing the window.
Performance also garnered some attention in this release. Repository startup and commit-graph loading are much faster, especially with numerous remotes and remote branches, as are staging, unstaging, and discarding all changes. Working-tree status and safety checks before rewriting history are also faster, particularly with large untracked directories. Diffs outside the visible area are rendered lazily, and large diffs initially display the first 500 lines until you select “Show All”.
And of course there is the usual pile of fixes: staging selected lines now works across multiple hunks, diffs refresh correctly when hunk headers change, and "Edit Commit" now lets you actually modify the commit instead of just stopping the rebase at it. Rebases also resume correctly after commands that pause the operation. Context menus open at the right size, and macOS received fixes for window controls in collapsed-sidebar mode and for finding Git, GPG, and Git LFS installed outside the default application environment.
Under the hood, many Git write operations have moved from libgit2 to the Git CLI for more consistent behavior, the Flatpak package has become smaller by stripping the bundled Git binary, and test coverage has grown. There are also updated translations in Basque, Cornish, Finnish, Slovenian, and Ukrainian, along with fresh dependencies.
ratic (ratific)The music player had a minor release this week for music sorting within the application.
The main features include sorting music by its location on your system, the ability to sort music within groups (albums, artists, and playlists), and a "natural" sort option for albums.

Text: RewaitaReceived a small update this week, mainly just adding features users have requested in the past. This is what has been done in v1.1.7:
Firstly, you can edit existing themes to make them your own! This feature has been requested since 2025, and I finally implemented it.
You can also create new themes from images, similar to pywal.
Some miscellaneous theming fixes and polish improvements where required.
