Hi all,

The darcs team would like to announce the immediate availability of darcs 2.5
beta 1. Important changes since darcs 2.4.4 are:

  * trackdown can now do binary search with the --bisect option
  * darcs always stores patch metadata encoded with UTF-8
  * obliterate has a -o flag to save obliterated patch
  * amend-record now supports --ask-deps
  * apply now supports --match
  * amend-record has a new --keep-date option
  * inventory-changing commands (like record and pull) now operate in
    constant time with respect to the number of patches in the repository

If you have installed the Haskell Platform or cabal-install, you can install
this beta release by doing:

 $ cabal update
 $ cabal install darcs-beta
