darcs (2.1.0) -- Eric Kow Sun, 09 Oct 2008 12:05:32 GMT * Bug Fix: Eliminate a 'same URLs with different parameters' error when fetching files over HTTP (issue1131, Dmitry Kurochkin) * User Experience: Corrections to the default boring file (Ben Franksen) * Bug Fix: Fix the %a option in darcs send --sendmail-command (Ben Franksen) * Bug Fix: Do not obscure the SSH prompts or text editor output with progress reporting (issue1104, issue1109, Dmitry Kurochkin, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: pull --intersection work now works as advertised (Tommy Pettersson) darcs (2.1.0pre3) -- Eric Kow Sun, 02 Oct 2008 09:12:41 GMT * Bug Fix: Eliminate an error merging repeated conflicts in darcs-2 repositories (issue1043, David Roundy) * New Feature: Hide 'Ignore-this:' lines which will be generated by future versions of darcs to prevent patch-id collisions. (issue1102, Eric Kow, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Support darcs repositories which have symbolic links in their paths (issue1078, Dmitry Kurochkin) * Bug Fix: Make ssh connection sharing (darcs transfer-mode) work with old-fashioned repositories (issue1003, David Roundy) darcs (2.1.0pre2) -- Eric Kow Sun, 25 Sep 2008 08:10:49 GMT * IMPORTANT: Create darcs-2 repositories by default in darcs init (issue806, David Roundy) * User Experience: Do not allow users to add files to a darcs repository if their filenames would be considered invalid under Windows. This can be overridden with the --reserved-ok flag (issue53, Eric Kow) * Bug Fix: Do not leave behind a half-gotten directory if darcs get fails (issue1041, Vlad Dogaru, David Roundy) * User Experience: notice when you are trying to pull from a seemingly unrelated repository, that is one with a sufficiently different history. This can be overridden with the --allow-unrelated-repos flag (Dmitry Kurochkin, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Fix hang after a user input error (for example, EOF) when using haskeline support (Judah Jacobson) * Quality Assurance: Improvements to documentation and online help (Simon Michael) darcs (2.0.3pre1) -- Eric Kow Sun, 18 Sep 2008 02:36:45 GMT * New Feature: Optional readline-like functionality when compiled with the haskeline package (Judah Jacobson, Gaëtan Lehmann) * Bug Fix: No more spurious pending patches (issue709, issue1012, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: darcs get --to-match now works with hashed repositories (issue885, David Roundy) * User Experience: Catch mistakes in _darcs/prefs/defaults (issue691, Dmitry Kurochkin) * User Experience: Improved support for darcs send over http (see also tools/upload.cgi) (Dmitry Kurochkin, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Recognize user@example.com: as an ssh path, that is, not requiring a path after the server component. (David Roundy) * New Feature: Accept an optional directory argument in darcs send --output-auto-name (Dmitry Kurochkin) * User Experience: New --no-cache option to help debug network issues (issue1054, Dmitry Kurochkin) * Performance: New --http-pipelining and --no-http-pipelining flags. Passing --http-pipelining to darcs can make darcs get and pull faster over HTTP. Due to a libcurl bug, this is not the default option unless darcs is compiled with libcurl 7.19.1, due 2008-11. (Dmitry Kurochkin) * Bug Fix: Eliminate hanging and crashes while fetching files over HTTP (issue920, issue977, issue996, issue1037, Dmitry Kurochkin) * Security: Fix some insecure uses of printfs in darcs.cgi (Steve Cotton) * Bug Fix: Handle filepaths in a simpler and more robust fashion. This fixes relative filepaths and recognition of symbolic links and avoids possible future bugs (issue950, issue1057, David Roundy, Dmitry Kurochkin) * Bug Fix: Make darcs diff --patch work even if the patch is within a tag (issue966, darcs 2 regression, Dmitry Kurochkin) * Quality Assurance: Extend use of Haskell's GADTs to most of the darcs code, fixing many potential bugs along the way (Jason Dagit, David Roundy) * Quality Assurance: Several improvements to darcs code quality (Petr Ročkai) * Bug Fix: Correct assumptions made by darcs about Windows file size types (issue1015, Simon Marlow, Ganesh Sittampalam) * Bug Fix: Support case insensitive file systems using hashed repositories in darcs repair (partial issue971, Petr Ročkai). IMPORTANT: This introduces a memory use regression, which affects large repositories. We found that doing a darcs repair on the GHC repository requires a machine with 2 GB of RAM. The regression is well-understood and should be solved in the next darcs release. In the meantime we felt that the improved robustness was worth the performance trade-off. * Quality Assurance: Simplify building darcs on Windows by optionally using the zlib and terminfo Haskell packages (Ganesh Sittampalam, Petr Ročkai) * User Experience: Better error reporting when patches that should commute fail to do so. (Jason Dagit) * New Feature: --match "touch filenames", for example --match 'touch foo|bar|splotz.*(c|h)' (issue115, Dmitry Kurochkin) * User Experience: Improve debugging and error messages in HTTP code (Dmitry Kurochkin, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Ensure that darcs responds to Ctrl-C on Window, even if compiled with GHC < 6.10 (issue1016, Simon Marlow) * New Feature: darcs changes --context now also works with --human-readable and --xml-output (issue995, Dmitry Kurochkin) * Bug Fix: Always darcs send with context, as if --unified flag were used (was implemented in 2.0.2, but not consistently) (David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Make sure that darcs get --tag works even when the user hits Ctrl-C to get a lazy repository (Dmitry Kurochkin) * Quality Assurance: Improvements to documentation and online help, most crucially, user-focused help on upgrading to darcs 2. (Trent Buck, Lele Gaifax, Simon Michael, Max Battcher) * New Feature: darcs changes --number associates each patch with number, counting backwards (see the --index feature) (David Roundy) * New Feature: ability to match patches on index, for example, darcs changes --index=3-6 shows the last three to six patches (David Roundy) * User Experience: slightly reduce the verbosity of darcs pull --verbose (David Roundy)
