- # What's new in GitLens 8
- ## 8.4 — June 2018
- - Adds completely revamped heatmap annotations
- 
- - The indicator's color, now customizable, will either be hot or cold based on the age of the most recent change (cold after 90 days by default) — closes [#419](https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues/419)
- - The indicator's brightness ranges from bright (newer) to dim (older) based on the relative age, which is calculated from the median age of all the changes in the file
- - Adds `gitlens.heatmap.ageThreshold` setting to specify the age of the most recent change (in days) after which the gutter heatmap annotations will be cold rather than hot (i.e. will use `gitlens.heatmap.coldColor` instead of `gitlens.heatmap.hotColor`)
- - Adds `gitlens.heatmap.coldColor` setting to specify the base color of the gutter heatmap annotations when the most recent change is older (cold) than the `gitlens.heatmap.ageThreshold` setting
- - Adds `gitlens.heatmap.hotColor` setting to specify the base color of the gutter heatmap annotations when the most recent change is newer (hot) than the `gitlens.heatmap.ageThreshold` setting
- - Adds new branch history node under the *Repository Status* node in the *GitLens* explorer
- - Adds GitLab and Visual Studio Team Services icons to the remote nodes in the *GitLens* explorer — thanks to [PR #421](https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/pull/421) by Maxim Pekurin ([@pmaxim25](https://github.com/pmaxim25))
- - Fixes [#400](https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues/412) - GitLens logging to debug console when debugging different extension
- - Fixes [#409](https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues/409) - Literal $(ellipsis) inserted into commit QuickPick menu entry placeholder text
- - Fixes [#415](https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues/415) - Branch names get mangled by color escapes — thanks to [PR #416](https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/pull/416) by Roy Ivy III ([@rivy](https://github.com/rivy))
- - Fixes issue with insiders builds because of the new `SymbolInformation` API changes (see [Microsoft/vscode#34968](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/34968))

- See the [release notes](https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md "Open Release Notes") for the full set of changes

- # GitLens
-
- [GitLens](http://gitlens.amod.io "Learn more about GitLens") is an [open-source](https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens "Open GitLens on GitHub") extension for [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) created by [Eric Amodio](http://www.amod.io "Learn more about Eric").
- While GitLens is generously offered to everyone free of charge, if you find it useful please consider [supporting](#support-gitlens "Support GitLens") it.
-
- GitLens simply helps you understand code better. Quickly glimpse into whom, why, and when a line or code block was changed. Jump back through history to gain further insights as to how and why the code evolved. Explore the history and evolution of a codebase.
-
- Here are just some of the features that GitLens provides,
- - a [*GitLens* explorer](#gitlens-explorer "Jump to the GitLens explorer") to navigate and explore repositories
- - a [*GitLens File History* explorer](#gitlens-file-history-explorer "Jump to the GitLens File History explorer") to navigate and explore file histories
- - an on-demand [*GitLens Results* explorer](#gitlens-results-explorer "Jump to the GitLens Results explorer") to navigate and explore commit searches, visualize comparisons between branches, tags, commits, and more
- - authorship [code lens](#code-lens "Jump to the Code Lens") showing the most recent commit and # of authors to the top of files and/or on code blocks
- - an unobtrusive [current line blame](#current-line-blame "Jump to the Current Line Blame") annotation at the end of the line
- - on-demand [gutter blame](#gutter-blame "Jump to the Gutter Blame") annotations, including a heatmap, for the whole file
- - on-demand [gutter heatmap](#gutter-heatmap "Jump to the Gutter Heatmap") annotations to show how recently lines were changed, relative to all the other changes in the file and to now (hot vs. cold)
- - on-demand [recent changes](#recent-changes "Jump to the Recent Changes") annotations to highlight lines changed by the most recent commit
- - a [status bar blame](#status-bar-blame "Jump to the Status Bar Blame") annotation showing author and date for the current line
- - [commit search](#commit-search "Jump to the Commit Search") — by message, author, filename, commit id, or code changes
- - many powerful commands for exploring commits and histories, comparing and navigating revisions, stash access, repository status, etc
- - and so much [more](#features "Jump to Features")
-
- GitLens is powerful, feature rich, and also [highly customizable](#gitlens-settings "Jump to the GitLens settings docs") to meet your specific needs — find code lens intrusive or the current line blame annotation distracting — no problem, it is quick and easy to turn them off or change how they behave via the built-in [*GitLens Settings* editor](#configuration "Jump to Configuration"), an interactive editor covering many of GitLens' powerful settings. While for more advanced customizations, refer to the [GitLens settings docs](#gitlens-settings "Jump to the GitLens settings docs") and edit your vscode [user settings](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings "Open User settings").
