[ANNOUNCE] tig-2.4.0

[Jonas Fonseca]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce Tig version 2.4.0 with improvements to UTF-8
handling and compatibility with Git as well as a ton of bug fixes,

What is Tig?
------------

Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a Git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for
commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various Git
commands.
