Darcs 2.16.5, 20 Feb 2022 This release is to support newer dependencies, most importantly GHC 9.0 and Cabal 3.6. It also includes a small number of refactors that help with moving to those newer dependencies. Darcs 2.16.4, 20 May 2021 This release is mostly to fix http://bugs.darcs.net/issue2674 which can lead to repository corruption. This is not quite as bad as it sounds, since the broken changes that you could have recorded were consistently ignored when applying the patch. This bug has been in darcs for a very long time and even our own repos contain (ancient) patches with broken move changes, and so far it hasn't caused us any trouble. That said, there are certain patch commutations that will erroneously (and unexpectedly) fail when such a patch is involved. We therefore recommend to upgrade. You may also (after upgrading) run 'darcs check' on your repositories to see if you are affected, and 'darcs repair' them if that is the case. Fortunately, the broken move changes can be safely eliminated from existing patches, and the improved repair command now does exactly that. Thanks to lemming@henning-thielemann.de for bringing this bug to our attention. * resolve issue2674: moving unadded files * add a check/repair rule for bad move patches This drops a move patch with either non-existing source or existing target. Also related to issue2674: * improve error message when runDefault fails due to an IO error * remove catching of exceptions for bad moves in DefaultIO * fail in Darcs.Util.Tree.Monad.rename if source does not exist * test that we cannot record patches that depend on broken moves The rest of the changes are minor bug fixes plus a few dependencies. * resolve issue2670: convert "." to absolute path when creating a repo This bug was introduced by fix for issue2668. * resolve issue2668: createDirectory: permission denied * resolve issue2667: darcs init failed with permission denied * bugfix: --leave-test-dir should be off by default * bash_completion: use '--list-options' before any other option This is so to avoid that, e.g.: $ darcs record -m results in a patch named '--list-options' being recorded. * zsh completion: use '--list-options' before any other option See the corresponding change in the bash completion for details. * zsh completion: improve the get/clone case Moving the special case for get/clone down into the catch-all case for the current word allows it to complete options and local paths. * bugfix: --leave-test-dir should be off by default * bugfix in readPendingAndMovesAndUnrecorded * print patch application warnings to stderr, not stdout Darcs 2.16.3, 22 October 2020 * Fix building with `-f curl` (issue2655) * Fix building with stack * Various fixes in our custom Setup.hs, mostly to do with cabal commands exectuted inside the unpacked source dist tar ball * Remove obsolete dependency on split package * Remove dependency on sandi and use base16-bytestring >= 1.0, improving performance when darcs handles binary files and patches, and more generally whenever we convert hashes from/to text. * Various minor fixes and additions to tests scripts * Issues fixed: * 2654: amend --prompt-long-comment removes the long comment * 2658: show dependencies should only show direct dependencies * 2659: check for bad patch name after invoking editor, too Darcs 2.16.2, 19 August 2020 * Fix build problem when using 'cabal install' from inside the sdist. This fails because in this case cabal will try to 'cabal sdist' the bundled shelly dependency, and we do not (nor want to) list all shelly files in our own cabal file. To avoid problems like this, we no longer use the bundled shelly as a dependency, but rather as part of our sources for the test suite. Darcs 2.16.1, 14 August 2020 * Building: * Drop support for building with ghc-8.0 * Allow clean (warning-free) builds with all ghc versions from 8.2.2 up to ghc-8.10.1 * Various dependency updates * Remove sdist and postConf hooks from Setup.hs * move -DHAVE_MAPI from Setup.hs to darcs.cabal * Recommended way to build is using cabal-install >= 3.0 * The source tree now contains a cleaned-up version of shelly-1.7.1 (locally named shelly-1.7.1.1) which we need to run our test suite. Unfortunately, later versions break compatibility on Windows and keeping the dependency fixed to 1.7.1 would mean we cannot support newer ghc versions. * Preliminary UNSTABLE support for a new patch theory named "darcs-3", largely based on the pioneering work of Ian Lynagh for 'camp'. Please note that this format is not yet officially supported: some features (like conversion from older formats) are still missing, and we have not yet finalized the on-disk format. You should NOT use it for any serious work yet. The new theory finally solves all the well-known consistency problems that plagued the earlier ones, and thus fixes a number of issues (including issue1401 and issue2605) that have been outstanding for many years. It also reduces the worst case asymptotic runtime for commutation and merging from exponential to merely quadratic in the number of patches involved. One of the reasons we are confident this new theory and its implementation is sound, i.e. respect all required properties, is that we have improved our test case generator for sequences of patches. It now generates all possible conflict scenarios. Since the new theory no longer has worst case exponential runtime, we can and did test all required properties and invariants with a large number of generated test cases (up to 100000). * The internals of how 'darcs rebase' stores and handles suspended patches and their "fixups" has been changed in incompatible ways. This means that if you have a rebase in progress started with darcs < 2.16, you will first need to use the new 'darcs rebase upgrade' command to upgrade the suspended patches to the new format. If you start a rebase with darcs-2.16, then earlier darcs versions will not work with that repo, until you have finished the rebase. The new implementation fixes a lot of bugs (including outright crashes in some situations). The behavior when conflicted patches are suspended is much better now, though there are still a few corner cases where the behavior can be quite unintuitive, especially when complicated conflicts are suspended. A number of limitations regarding repositories with a rebase in progress have been lifted; in particular, push, pull, and clone between repos can now be done regardless of whether any of the repos have a rebase in progress or not. * The way conflict markup is generated has been cleaned up and refactored. The main user-visible improvement is that darcs now reliably /either/ marks a conflict /or/ keeps the default resolution (i.e. remove both changes) and reports the conflicts that it cannot mark. Previously, conflicts that could not be properly marked (roughly all conflicts involving changes other than hunks, e.g. replaces and file or dir adds, removes, and renames) would be silently "half-resolved" in favour of one of the alternatives. This could be pretty confusing, the more so since it was hard to predict which of the conflicting alternatives was chosen. * Complete re-implementation of the way in which the pending patch is updated after record and amend. This fixes a number of problems with pending becoming corrupt. The new code also works in cases where hunks are edited interactively. The algorithm is documented in detail. * Downloading files via http now uses the http-conduit package. This is now the default method when building darcs. Building against the curl library is still supported but you have to explicitly request it by passing -fcurl to cabal. * Reworked internal failure handling so we can clearly distinguish between normal command failures and internal errors, i.e bugs, in darcs. In case of a bug, darcs exits with status 4 and prints a message that asks the user to report it and how to do that. * During interactive patch selection, the 'x', 'v', and 'p' keys no longer print the patch description (if any), only the summary or the patch content. A new key 'r' was added to re-display the currently selected patch in default mode (normally this is just the description). See issue2649 for details. * A large number of other internal refactors and code cleanups. * A forward compatibility bug (issue2650), roughly fixed in Darcs 2.14.5, is now resolved in full. In particular, we modify the format file only if we have taken the repo lock, silently fix possibly corrupted entries when reading the format file, internally document the forward compatibility rules, and finally test them more thoroughly. * Issues fixed: * 1316: amend-record: files/dirs still in pending even if they are removed * 1609: darcs conflict marking gives different results in different orders * 2001: repair fails to detect missing pristine files * 2275: ignore symlinks as repo paths even when the index is used * 2404: darcs convert export ignores --repodir * 2441: Use pager for darcs annotate * 2445: internal error if suspended patch is pulled into repository again * 2454: help markdown/manpage should use a pager * 2533: add umask option to all commands that modify the repo * 2536: show files --no-files: can't mix match and pending flags * 2548: inconsistent pending after addfile f; rm f; mkdir f * 2550: apply only properly mangled resolutions, warn about any others * 2592: update pending with coalesced look-for changes * 2593: network test can collide with shell tests * 2594: darcs show index crashes replace with unrecorded force hunk * 2599: don't bother to update pending when cloning a repo * 2603: warn and mark conflicts when cloning * 2604: remove --reply and related options * 2608: download _darcs/hashed_inventory separately * 2610: add --inherit-default option * 2614: (an intermediate regression) * 2618: option --ask-deps adds too many dependencies * 2625: catch only IO exceptions from applyToWorking * 2626: treat applyToWorking more uniformly * 2634: use unwind to suspend patches * 2635: build/install man page only if we build darcs executable * 2639: darcs diff crashes with --last=1 and file name * 2645: search for ":" to detect ssh URLs only up to the first "/" * 2648: convert import with non-ASCII meta data and filepaths * 2649: cleanup display of patches * Partial fixes: * 1959: read-only commands should not need write access to the index This is mostly fixed, see tests/issue1959-unwritable-darcsdir.sh for the few remaining problematic cases. We also now check writability of the index when we start a transaction. * Miscellaneous user-visible changes and bugfixes: * always prompt for confirmation when there are conflicts with unrecorded changes * darcs optimize upgrade: don't throw away pending * use cryptonite instead of cryptohash and random; the random junk added to patch meta data now uses a cryptographically secure random number generator; also replaces our own implementation of SHA1 * darcs repair: handle broken binary patches * fail if pending patch cannot be parsed instead of silently ignoring it * darcs remove: don't allow removal of root * darcs suspend reify: give reified fixup patches a real author * darcs add: fail unconditionally when no files were added * darcs optimize compress: don't compress special patches such as pending or unrevert * darcs send: bugfix on Windows with GHC>=8.6 * fix prompting when we get a bad patch name from the user * darcs apply: fix interpretation of patch bundles as patchsets when the context tag is not in our repo * darcs apply: fix lazy reading of inventories * darcs amend: fix editing of tag names * clone to ssh: don't overwrite existing remote target directories * darcs rebase: remove error if no suspended patches found * fully respect the (badly named) --no-ignore-times option (which actually means to ignore the index) * replace the code for creating unique temporary directory names (that was prone to race conditions); instead we now use the temporary package * darcs check/repair: detect and repair missing (hashed) pristine files * remove option --restrict-paths (is always active now) * remove defunct --set-default option for rebase pull * remove env var DARCS_DO_COLOR_LINES * demote errors in defaults file and commandline to warnings * add --not-in-remote option to amend and rebase suspend; the option is now supported by all history editing commands. * remove our own optimisation settings in darcs.cabal * regard explicit dependencies as resolving conflicts * suspend reify: give reified fixup patches a real author * never overwrite existing files with -O/--output-auto-name * make working with temporary directories more robust * make sure we cancel pending download actions at exit * darcs diff: allow use of interactive external diff commands * remove graphviz dependency by re-implementing show dependencies * darcs show dependencies: review matching options * darcs annotate: more than one file argument is now an error * Changes in the output of commands: * add a warning when the index code ignores a symlink * print remote execution failure message to stderr * darcs amend: respect verbosity options * commands that can produce large amounts of output now display it using a pager, similar to 'darcs log' * remove "withSignalsHandled:" from message when we are interrupted (Ctrl-C) * add progress reporting to patch index * print remote execution failure message to stderr * re-formulate the bad sources hint * remove hint "Do you have the right URI for the repository?" * remove the "darcs failed:" from error messages * re-formulate the set-default hint * darcs check/repair: no coloring in progress reports * add progress reporting when creating packs * darcs test: make linear search report results like bisect * colorize --dry-run output and warnings * darcs whatsnew: print via pager (unless --xml or -s is active) * darcs apply: print "reading from stdin" unless --quiet * darcs send: include all the information when reporting exceptions * print name of patch bundle for obliterate --output * Deliberate API changes to support darcsden: * export getPrefLines * export a simplified version of getLogInfo * export runWithHooks instead of recordConfig and RecordConfig * Documentation/help changes: * extend help text for darcs show and darcs convert * re-word some option descriptions * improve the (top level) usage text * update help for defaults file(s) * add subcommand 'darcs help preferences' * improve help for _darcs/prefs/sources * darcs diff: fix help for --unified option * fix manpage formatting of bullet lists * fix docs and description for the status command * automatically format (most) help texts to 80 chars per line * replace initial blurb in the manpage * unify warning hints for history editing commands * move debugging options to the end of the advanced options * shorten the help for alias commands * add extended help for rebase super command * include help for super commands in the man page * group --reorder under the merge options and improve its help text * bring help text for 'darcs repair' up to date * darcs.cabal: fix license and reword package description Darcs 2.14.5, 6 August 2020 * Resolve issue2650 This is a stupid and rather unfortunate bug that affects all previous versions of the 2.12 and 2.14 branch. It can lead to corruption of the _darcs/format file in repos where *future* darcs versions add an alternative format property. The bug affects commands rebase suspend, rebase pull, and rebase apply. It is possible to manually fix the corruption by deleting from _darcs/format strings of the form "Unknown property: ". Future releases will contain a work-around that automatically fixes this particular kind of corruption when reading the format file, in case it should ever happen in practice. Nevertheless we strongly recommend to upgrade and avoid using the darcs versions affected by this bug. Darcs 2.14.4, 28 April 2020 * Restored the ability to run our shell tests, at least when building directly from a clone of our darcs repo. This was done by importing an old version of shelly (1.7.1, the last that worked for us on Windows), so that (modern) cabal picks that version instead of the newest one from hackage. Then made it build with all supported ghc versions and fixed all warnings. * Fix the quick-and-dirty "solutions" to the MonadFail incompatibility that replaced fail with error to avoid cascading MonadFail requirements all over the place. This broke a number of our tests, proving it to be semantically unsound, as I had expected. In most cases the correct solution was to replace it with (throw . userError), or if possible with (liftIO . fail).

April 2012 * Important changes in Darcs 2.8 * Local support for the legacy "old-fashioned" repository format has been removed. * You can still work with remote repositories in this format * Local repositories can still be upgraded via "darcs optimize --upgrade". * "darcs annotate" is now significantly faster and uses less memory, although it still slows down linearly with repository size. * An experimental option is available to speed up HTTP downloads. * You can now use "darcs optimize --http" to create a repo optimized for HTTP downloads, and use "darcs get --packs" to download such a repo. * There are still some known issues with it, so the feature is not enabled by default. * Darcs now supports multiple email addresses for the author in the global prefs file. So, if you use different identities for home and work, you can now easily select between them. (issue1530) * The -o/-O options for obliterate which were removed in 2.5 are back. * "darcs status" has been added as a hidden alias for "darcs whatnew -ls" to ease the transition from some other source control systems. (issue182) * "darcs amend-record" now has the option --unrecord to allow individual changes to be unrecorded. (issue1470). This can also be used as "darcs amend-unrecord". * "darcs amend-record"'s interactive selection now supports 'k' for going back to a previous patch. * "darcs dist" now has the option --set-scripts-executable. (issue734) * pushing to ssh:// URLS is now supported. eg: darcs push ssh://code.haskell.org/foo * If a test fails during darcs record, you now have the option to record it anyway. (issue332) * Hunk-splitting now works in "darcs revert" (issue114) * Sending patches by email is now more robust and human friendly. We display a cleaner version in plain text for humans, and have added a complete version of the patch for "darcs apply". (issue1350) * "darcs send" now tries to report the right character set in the email headers, and has the option --charset to override this. * A new environment variable has been added to help control network connections: DARCS\_CONNECTION\_TIMEOUT. See the manual for details. * The --ephemeral and --partials options to "darcs get" has been removed. "darcs check --partial" has also been removed. * "darcs rollback" now has a --no-record option, to be used when you only want to update the working directory. * The --nolinks option for "darcs get" was removed. * The "--old" flag has been removed for "darcs init", "darcs get" and "darcs put". * "darcs resolve" has been removed an alias for "darcs mark-conflicts". * "darcs init" and "darcs get" now have a --no-working-dir option. * Conflicts are now marked with red in the terminal. (issue1681) * ssh ControlMaster support has been removed. * ssh stderr output is now passed through, making it easier to diagnose problems. (issue845) * Interactive selection now has a 'g' command to go to the first patch. * The --unified flag is now available for record, end-record, revert and unrevert (issue1166) * darcs now has a "darcs test" command for running whatever test-suite is associated with the repository. * Other issues resolved in Darcs 2.8 * 1266: "darcs init" now warns when run inside another darcs repo. * 1344: When using darcs send, let users know sooner if they won't eventually be able to send * 1397: darcs changes /bad /paths no longer lists all changes * 1473: problem with annotate --repodir * 1551: Now we only use 'file content did not change' prompt for darcs send * 1558: xml output for patch hash no longer includes "gz" extension * 1599: automatically expire unused caches * 1637: When darcs get fails due to a HTTP failure, port the actual HTTP failure. * 1640: darcs apply --verbose docs have been improved * 1661: darcs add --quiet is quieter * 1705: fix error with unhandled --index in "darcs show contents" * 1714: provide more sensible behavior when combining an "ALL" default with a default for a specific sub-command * 1727: a better diagnostic message is provided when the user tries to move the root of the repository * 1740: "darcs mv" now gracefully the handles the case where the user first does an "mv" on a directory and then follows up with a "darcs mv" * 1804: The diagnostic message "getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist" has been improved * 1883: rename --patch-name option to --name. This is usually used in darcs record in shorthand (-m) form. This rename is aimed at eliminating the confusion with the patch matcher, which bites amend-record and rollback users. * 1884: darcs get was wrongly reporting "getting lazy repository" when you hit C-c * 1908: try to create a global cache before checking its availability * 1922: Fixed bug where obliterate -o was producing incorrect bundles in some cases * 1923: bad source warning mechanism no

Note that it may be required in a future version of darcs. -- Eric Kow Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:17:00 GMT darcs (2.1.1rc1) * Portability: GHC 6.10.1 support (Petr Ročkai, Eric Kow) * Bug Fix: Fix file handle leak and check for exceptions on process running on Windows (issue784, Salvatore Insalaco) * Quality Assurance: Consolidated regression test suites using shell scripts only (Eric Kow, Tommy Petterson, Matthias Kilian) -- Eric Kow Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:49:00 GMT darcs (2.1.0) * 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) -- Eric Kow Sun, 09 Oct 2008 12:05:32 GMT darcs (2.1.0pre3) * 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) -- Eric Kow Sun, 02 Oct 2008 09:12:41 GMT darcs (2.1.0pre2) * 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) (Judah Jacobson) * Quality Assurance: Improvements to documentation and online help (Simon Michael) -- Eric Kow Sun, 25 Sep 2008 08:10:49 GMT darcs (2.0.3pre1) * 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.

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) -- Eric Kow Sun, 18 Sep 2008 02:36:45 GMT darcs (2.0.2) -- David Roundy Sun, 24 Jun 2008 01:20:41 GMT darcs (2.0.1) * Bug Fix: Make Ctrl-C work even though darcs is now compiled to use the threaded runtime (issue916, David Roundy) * New Feature: Include patch count in darcs --version, for example, 2.0.1 (+ 32 patches) (David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Avoid an error caused by renaming a file on case-insensitive file-systems (Eric Kow) * Bug Fix and New Feature: Improved XML output (Benjamin Franksen, Lele Gaifax, David Roundy) * User Experience: Always darcs send with context, as if --unified flag were used (David Roundy) -- David Roundy Sun, 23 Jun 2008 21:47:07 GMT darcs (2.0.1rc2) * Performance: Faster strings, using Data.Bytestring by default (Gwern Branwen, Eric Kow, Ian Lynagh, David Roundy) * User Experience: On Windows, use MS-DOS 'edit' as a default editor if Emacs and friends are not available (Eric Kow) * Bug Fix: On Windows, notice when external programs fail to launch because they do not exist (Eric Kow) * New Feature: darcs put --no-set-default and --set-default (Nicolas Pouillard) -- David Roundy Sun, 13 Jun 2008 01:17:45 GMT darcs (2.0.1rc1) * Bug Fix: Fix tag --checkpoint so that darcs get --partial can avoid fetching all patches (issue873, David Roundy) * User Experience: Better progress reporting [NB: darcs is now compiled with threaded runtime by default] (issue739, David Roundy, Bertram Felgenhauer) * Performance: Reduce memory usage of darcs put (David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Improved date matching (issue793, issue187, Eric Kow) * Performance: Fix an optimization in diff-detection (affects darcs whatsnew and record) (Pekka Pessi) * Quality Assurance: --enable-hpc for checking program coverage (Christopher Lane Hinson) * Bug Fix: Do not rollback if no primitive patches were selected (issue870, Eric Kow) * Bug Fix: Make it possible to --dry-run on repositories we cannot write to (issue855, Eric Kow, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Avoid a race condition caused by cleaning out the pristine cache (issue687, David Roundy) * User Experience: When pushing, prints a small reminder when the remote repository has patches to pull (Eric Kow, David Roundy) * UI changes: --extended-help is now called --overview, no more --verify-hash, no more send --unified (David Roundy, Eric Kow) * User Experience: Show ssh's stderr output in case it wants to ask the user something (issue845, Eric Kow) * Bug Fix: Improved interaction with pager (David Roundy, Pekka Pessi, Eric Kow) * Bug Fix: darcs send -o - (Pekka Pessi) * Bug Fix: (regression) Re-enable darcs mv as a means of informing darcs about manual renames (issue803, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Fix bugs related to use of threaded runtime (issue776, David Roundy) * Portability: Respect OS conventions in creation of temporary files (Eric Kow) * New Feature: Check for and repair patches which remove non-empty files (issue815, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Make get --to-match work with hashed repositories (David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Conflict-handling with darcs-2 semantics (issue817, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Make --ask-deps ask the right questions (Tommy Pettersson) * User Experience: Improved error messages and warnings (issue245, issue371, Nicolas Pouillard, David Roundy, Eric Kow) * New Feature: darcs trackdown --set-scripts-executable (Reinier Lamers) * Quality Assurance: Various improvements to documentation (issue76, issue809, Gwern Branwen, Lele Gaifax, Eric Kow, Nicolas Pouillard, David Roundy) * Bug Fix: Correct detection of incompatibility with future darcs (issue794, Eric Kow) * User Experience: Make darcs changes --interactive behave more like other interactive commands (Eric Kow) * Performance: Optimized handling of very large files (Gwern Branwen) * New Feature: Colorize added and removed lines, if the environment variable DARCS_DO_COLOR_LINES=True (Nicolas Pouillard) * New Feature: --remote-repodir flag to allow separate default repositories for push, pull and send (issue792, Eric Kow) * Performance: Optimized get --to-match handling for darcs 1 repositories (Reinier Lamers) * Bug Fix: Make changes --repo work when not in a repository (David Roundy) * New Feature: darcs changes --count (David Roundy) -- David Roundy Sun, 03 Jun 2008 12:43:31 GMT darcs (2.0.0) * Fix silly bug which leads to darcs --version not showing release when it's a released version. (David Roundy) -- David Roundy Sun, 07 Apr 2008 15:06:38 GMT darcs (2.0.0rc1) -- David Roundy Sun, 01 Apr 2008 15:44:11 GMT darcs (2.0.0pre4) * When darcs encounters a bug, check version versus central server in order to decide whether to recommend that the user report the bug. * Display duplicate identical changes when using darcs-2 repository format. (Issue579) * Fix a bug in convert that lead to invalid tags in the converted repository. (Issue585) * Add an annoying warning when users run convert. * Numerous fixes to the time/date matching code, which should now work even in central Europe. (Eric Kow) * Add support for reading hashed repositories that use SHA256 hashes. The plan is to enable writing of SHA256 hashes in the next release. (David Roundy) * New Feature: Add a 'show authors' command (Eric Kow) * darcs.cgi improvements: Patch pages show "Who" and "When" some file annotation pages show "who" and "when" with a mouse-over. Also, darcs.cgi can now be hosted in a path containing The tilde character. (Zooko, Mark Stosberg) * User Experience: Improved and added many debugging, error and progress messages (David Roundy, Mark Stosberg, Eric Kow) * New Feature: New DARCS_PATCHES, DARCS_FILES and DARCS_PATCHES_XML environment variables are made available for the posthook system, allowing for more easier options to to integrate darcs with other systems. (David Roundy, Mark Stosberg) * Quality Assurance: Added and updated automated regression tests (Mark Stosberg, David Roundy, Eric Kow, Trent Buck, Nicolas Pouillard, Dave Love, Tommy Pettersson) * Bug Fix: Gzipped files stored in the repo are now handled properly (Zooko, David Roundy) * Quality Assurance: Various Documentation Improvements (issue347, issue55 Mark Stosberg, Nicolas Pouillard, Marnix Klooster) * Bug Fix: With --repodir, commands could not be disabled (Trent Buck, David Roundy) * New Feature: tools/update_roundup.pl scripts allows the darcs bug tracker to be notified with a darcs patch resolving a particular issue is applied. A link to the patch in the web-based repo browser is provided in the e-mail notifying bug subscribers. (Mark Stosberg) * Internal: Begin work on memory efficiency improvements (David Roundy) * Performance: darcs is faster when identifying remote repos handling pending changes and running unrecord. (David Roundy) * Internal: Source code clean-up and improvements (David Roundy, Jason Dagit, Eric Kow, Mark Stosberg) * User Experience: A pager is used automatically more often, especially when viewing help. (Eric Kow) * Bug Fix: push => incorrect return code when couldn't get lock. (issue257, VMiklos, David Roundy, Eric Kow, Mark Stosberg) * Bug Fix: 'whatsnew' and 'replace' now work together correctly. (Nicolas Pouillard, David Roundy) -- David Roundy Sun, 21 Mar 2008 15:31:37 GMT darcs (2.0.0pre3) * Fix issue 244, allowing users of darcs changes to specify the new name of a file that has an unrecorded mv. (David Roundy, Mark Stosberg, Tuomo Valkonen) * Fix issue 600, bug in darcs optimize --relink. (David Roundy, Trent Buck, Mark Stosberg, Tommy Pettersson) * Add a new framework for outputting progress messages. If darcs takes more than about one second to run a command, some sort of feedback should now be provided. (David Roundy) * Rewrite rollback, changing its behavior to be more useful. Rollback now prompts for a name for the new "rollback" patches. It also allows you to roll back multiple patches simultaneously, and to roll back only portions of the patches selected. Altogether, rollback is now more interactive, and should also be more useful. (David Roundy) * Bug Fix: date parsing is now improved (Mark Stosberg, David Roundy) * Performance: Improved speed of darcs pull on very large repos. (David Roundy) * Fix issue 586, but in darcs repair on hashed and darcs-2 repositories. (Nicolas Pouillard) * Improve docs for 'darcs init' (Mark Stosberg) * Fix typo in test partial.sh which made part of the tests for --partial invalid. (Mark Stosberg) * Document that darcs handles some types of binary files automatically. (issue55, Mark Stosberg) * Fix typo in a test that made it compare a file to itself. (Mark Stosberg) * Document that single quotes should be used in .darcs/defaults. (issue347, Mark Stosberg) * New Feature: Automatically create the the global cache if we define we want to use it. (David Roundy, Trent Buck) * Performance: Improved HTTP pipelining support (Dmitry Kurochkin) * Fix issue 571, build failure when termio.h is not found. (Dave Love) -- David Roundy Sun, 22 Jan 2008 20:06:12 GMT darcs (2.0.0pre2) * Add instructions in documentation for how to view patches in Mutt (a mail reader). (Gwern Branwen) * Fix build on Solaris. (Dave Love) * Added "auto-optimize" support for hashed inventories, in that darcs automatically optimizes inventories when it seems wise (which is currently defined as "every time we modify the inventory"). * Fix expensive performance bugs involved in conflict handling. Thanks to Peter for pointing these out!. * Fix reading of hashed repositories to avoid reading patches that we don't actually need (i.e. foolish inefficiency bug). Thanks to Simon for reporting these performance bugs. * Added a new --debug flag for debug output. * Added compatibility with ghc 6.4. At this point darcs 2 should work with any ghc from 6.4 to 6.8.2. * Fix bug where parsing of setpref patch called tailPS unnecessarily. (David Roundy) * Refactor parsing of commands and command line arguments. Implement hidden commands. (Eric Kow) * Use a single command to initialize a remote repository. This replaces the method of stringing together multiple commands with the shell-dependent && operator. (Tristan Seligmann) * Allow for files in _darcs/inventories to be gzipped. This is not specifically related to issue553, but it fixes a regression introduced by the issue553 fix. (Issue553, Eric Kow) * Check for potential hash collision in writeHashFile. (Eric Kow) * Don't try to write hash file if it already exists, as you can not overwrite an open file on Windows. (Issue553, Eric Kow) * Close file handles when done reading it lazily. (Eric Kow) * Modernize and enhance buggy renameFile workaround by using the hierarchical library structure and only catching 'does not exist' errors. (Eric Kow) * Add "hidden" printer for decorating patches with color for easier reading when printed to screen during verbose or debug output, but hides (removes) the decoration when printing to the repository files. This is the counterpart of the invisible printer, which makes non-human-friendly patch contents invisible when printed to the screen. (David Roundy) * Add "hidden" printer, for printing things to screen but not file. (David Roundy) * Make darcs distinguish between repository sub paths and "normal" relative paths. Better handling of absolute paths. (Eric Kow) * Fix some bugs introduced by Better handling of file paths. (Eric Kow) * Handle corner case when polling from self. (issue354, issue358, Eric Kow) * Handle corner cases when pulling from current repository. (Issue354, Issue358, Eric Kow) * Fix bug in make_dotdots when pushing from a sub directory. (issue268, Eric Kow) * Fix bug in make_dotdots when pushing from a subdirectory. (Issue268, Eric Kow) * Better handling of file paths. Distinguish between paths to files belonging to the repository as well as not belonging to the repository, both in absolute and relative form. (Eric Kow) * Add path fixing to darcs send, and don't try sending to self. (issue427, Eric Kow) * Fix path issue for darcs send. (Issue427, Eric Kow) * Disable mmap under Windows. (issue320, Eric Kow) * Backup unmanaged working dir files as needed. (issue319, issue440, Eric Kow) * Backup unmanaged files in the working directory when they are overwritten by managed files with the same names in pulled or applied patches. (Issue319, Issue440, Eric Kow) * Offer some advice if sendmail failed. (issue407, Eric Kow) * Document behavior of "boring" managed files. (Issue259, Eric Kow) * Make Doc a newtype, so we can define a Show instance. (David Roundy) * Make make_changelog GHC 6.8 compliant. (Ganesh Sittampalam) * GHC 6.8 needs containers package. (Ganesh Sittampalam) * Configure hack to deal with openFd -> fdToHandle' renaming in GHC 6.8. (Ganesh Sittampalam) * Make makefile summarize calls to GHC when compiling. VERBOSE=1 turns the long format back on. (Eric Kow) * When building, print summarized call to GHC in makefile, instead of very long command lines with many boring options. VERBOSE=1 reverts to showing options again. (Eric Kow) * Add svg logo. (David Roundy) * Add mercurial files to the default boring file. (David Roundy) * Add patterns for mercurial files to default boring patterns. (David Roundy) * Define color versions of traceDoc and errorDoc for debugging. (David Roundy) * Clarify error message for --last. (issue537, Eric Kow) * Clarify in error message that darcs option --last requires a *positive* integer argument. (Issue537, Eric Kow) * Optimize getCurrentDirectorySansDarcs a little. (Eric Kow) * Never create temporary directories in the _darcs directory. (issue348, Eric Kow) * Never create temporary directories in the _darcs directory. (Issue348, Eric Kow) * Make revert short help less cryptic. (Eric Kow) * Make revert short help less cryptic. (Eric Kow) * Make --checkpoint short help more explicit. (issue520, Eric Kow) * Make --checkpoint short help more explicit. (Issue520, Eric Kow) * Add format infrastructure for darcs-2 repo format. (David Roundy) * Always optimize the inventory in 'darcs tag'. (Eric Kow) * Fix bug in Tag --checkpoint where the inventory was not updated. (Eric Kow) * Fix accidental regression of --no-ssh-cm flag. (Eric Kow) * Move conditional #include from Darcs.External to makefile. The GHC manual says that this is *not* the preferred option, but for some reason, the include pragmas seem to get ignored. Perhaps it is because the requirement that the pragmas be on the top of the file conflict with the #ifdef statements. In any case, this patch gets rid of the warning on MacOS X: warning: implicit declaration of function 'tgetnum'. (Eric Kow) * Pass CFLAGS to the assembler. E.g. -mcpu is essential on sparc. (Lennart Kolmodin) * Optimize 'darcs optimize --reorder'. (David Roundy) * Add a table of environmental variables to the manual. (issue69, Eric Kow) * Use System.Directory.copyFile for file copying. (Kevin Quick) * Implement darcs show contents command. It shows the contents of a file at a given version. (issue141, Eric Kow) * Make Changes --context --repodir work. (Issue467, Erik Kow) * Rename 'query' to 'show', but keep 'query' as an alias. (There is also an extra alias 'list' that means the same as show.) The subcommand 'query manifest' is renamed to 'show files', and does not list directories by default, unless the alias 'manifest' is used. (Eric Kow) * Support record -m --prompt-long-comment. (issue389, Eric Kow) * Hide the command 'unpull' in favor of 'obliterate'. (Eric Kow) * Make option --no-deps work again. It now also works for obliterate, unrecord, push and send. (issue353, Tommy Pettersson) * Make Record --ask-deps abort if user types 'q' instead of recording without explicit dependencies. User is now required to type 'd' (done). If the resulting patch is completely empty (no changes and no dependencies) the record is automatically canceled. (issue308, issue329, Kevin Quick) * Use pure record-access for PatchInfo in Patch.Info. (David Roundy) * Improve error message when unable to access a repository. (David Roundy) * Switch to using new Haskell standard library function cloneFile for copying files. (Kevin Quick) * Remove more GUI code. (Eric Kow) * Fix some --dry-run messages: "Would push" instead of "Pushing". (issue386, Eric Kow) * Ensure that logfile for record has trailing newline. (issue313, Eric Kow) * Add a stub command 'commit' that explains how to commit changes with darcs. (Eric Kow) * Makes non-repository paths in DarcsFlags absolute. (issue427, Zachary P. Landau) * Fix problem with missing newline in inventory, to simplify for third party scripts. (Issue412, Eric Kow) * Add all pulled repositories to _darcs/prefs/repos. (Issue368, Eric Kow) * Implement Apply --dry-run. (Issue37, Eric Kow) * Never change defaultrepo if --dry-run is used (issue186, Eric Kow) * Filter out any empty filenames from the command line arguments. (Issue396, Eric Kow) * Use prettyException in clarify_errors so we don't blame user for darcs' own errors. (Issue73, Eric Kow) * Rename command 'resolve' to 'mark-conflicts'. 'Resolve' remains as a hidden alias. (issue113, Eric Kow) * Make 'query manifest' list directories by default. (issue456, Eric Kow) * Allow --list-options even if command can not be run. (issue297, Eric Kow) * Make 'unadd' an alias for 'remove'. Make 'move' an alias for 'mv'. Add a stub for 'rm' that explains how to remove a file from a darcs repository. (issue127, Eric Kow) * Fix --help. (Issue282, Eric Kow) * New --nolinks option to request actual copies instead of hard-links for files. (Kevin Quick) * Harmonize capitalization in flags help. (Eric Kow) * Define datarootdir early enough in autoconf.mk.in. (Issue493, Eric Kow) * Fix a bug where Get --partial would use a checkpoint without detecting it was invalid. Checkpoints can for example become invalid after an Optimize --reorder. (issue490, David Roundy) * User Agent size limit for curl gets is removed. (Issue420, Kevin Quick) * Don't garb string parameters passed to libcurl, as required by the api specification. (Daniel Gorin) * Fix handling of --repo with relative paths. (Eric Kow) * Check for gzopen in zlib. curl depends on zlib and is detected prior to zlib by the configure file, but without the -lz flag on some versions. (Andres Loeh) * Switch to haskell's System.Process under Unix for execution of external commands; requires GHC 6.4. (Eric Kow) * Remove (some more) conflictor code. (Eric Kow) * Remove (unused) conflictor code. (David Roundy) * Support makefile docdir/datarootdir variables. (Dave Love) * Added prehooks that works the same as posthooks, but they run before the command is executed. This can for example be used to convert line endings or check character encodings before every Record. The darcs command aborts if the prehook exits with an error status. (Jason Dagit) * Use system instead of rawSystem for calling interactive cmds in Windows, which lets us support switches, for example, in DARCS_EDITOR. (Eric Kow) * add support for partial and lazy downloading of hashed repositories. (David Roundy) * Fix refactoring bug in Checkpoints where we sometimes looked for things in the wrong place. (David Roundy) * Fail on error in get_patches_beyond_tag. This will expose any bugs where we use this function wrongly. (As was the case in darcs check --partial with hashed inventories.) (David Roundy) * Restructure the source tree hierarchy from a mostly flat layout to one with directories and subdirectories that reflects the modularity of the source. (Eric Kow) * In tests, don't assume grep has -q and -x flags. (Dave Love) * Add --output-auto-name option to Send (Zachary P. Landau) * Added regression testing for the "pull --complement" operation. Updated documentation to explain why "darcs pull --complement R1 R1" is the same as "darcs pull R1" instead of the empty set. (Kevin Quick) * Change all "current" to "pristine" in manual and help texts. (Tommy Pettersson) * Added the ability to specify the --complement argument on the pull command as an alternative to --intersect and --union. When --complement is specified, candidate patches for a pull are all of the pullable patches that exist in the first repository specified but which don't exist in any of the remaining repositories (the set-theory complement of the first repository to the union of the remaining repositories). (Kevin Quick) * Fix bug where darcs would try to write temporary files in the root directory (/) if it couldn't find a repository root to write them in. Now it uses the current directory in that case. (issue385, Zachary P. Landau) * Make write_repo_format use the same syntax as read_repo_format when dealing with different repository formats. (Benedikt Schmidt) * Remove some unused functions from Population. (Eric Kow) * Use IO.bracket instead of Control.Exception.bracket in Exec, to restore the old way darcs works on *nix. (Eric Kow) * Import bracketOnError from Workaround instead of Control.Exception to support GHC 6.4. (Eric Kow) * Switch to haskell's System.Process under Windows for execution of external commands; requires GHC 6.4. (Simon Marlow) * Fix bug where darcs ignored command arguments in the VISUAL environment variable. (issue370, Benedikt Schmidt) * Make annotate work on files with spaces in the name. (Edwin Thomson) * Prettify exceptions in identifyRepository. (Juliusz Chroboczek) * QP-encode patch bundles transfered with the Put command. (Juliusz Chroboczek) * Fix bug in darcs get --tag that left cruft in pending. (David Roundy) * Fix bug when trying to 'darcs mv foo foo'. (issue360, David Roundy) * Separate comment from OPTIONS pragma for GHC 6.4 compatibility. (Eric Kow) * Make hashed inventories support optimize and reordering. (David Roundy) * Change all Maybe Patch to the new type Hopefully Patch, which is similar to Either String, for storing patches that may or may not exist. This should make it much easier to improve error reporting. (David Roundy) * Fix pending bug that broke several_commands.sh. (David Roundy) * Fix hashed inventory bug in Add. (David Roundy) * Make Get and Put reuse code for Initialize. This makes Put accept any flags that Init accepts. (David Roundy) * Fix new get to not mess up pending. (David Roundy) * External resolution can resolve conflicting adds. (Edwin Thomson) * Only copy the files that are needed for the resolution, when invoking an external resolution tool. This saves much time and resources on repositories with many files in them. (Edwin Thomson) * Change message in 'darcs check' from "applying" to "checking". (issue147, Tommy Pettersson) * Add code fore hashed inventories. (David Roundy) * New option for Diff: --store-in-memory. darcs diff usually builds the version to diff in a temporary file tree, but with --store-in-memory it will represent the files in memory, which is much faster (unless the tmp directory already is a ram disk). (Edwin Thomson) * Fix bug where duplicated file names on the command line would fool darcs. (issue273, Tommy Pettersson) * When recording with option --pipe, assume users local timezone if none is given, instead of UTC. Except if the date is given in raw patch format 'yyyymmddhhmmss' it is still parsed as UTC. (issue220, Eric Kow) * Account for timezone information, e.g. in dates when recording with option --pipe. (issue173, Eric Kow) * Fix bug in refactoring of get. (David Roundy) * Refactor repository handling to allow truly atomic updates. (David Roundy) -- David Roundy Sun, 16 Dec 2007 20:16:47 GMT darcs (1.0.9) * Make shell harness failures fatal in Makefile. (Eric Kow) * Bugfix, fix bug where we add a file but not its boring parent directory. (David Roundy) * Allow escaped quotes in 'quoted' for match text. (Dave Love) * Don't exit with failure when tests_to_run is used and there are no perl tests. (David Roundy) * Apply patches "tolerantly" to the working directory; don't quit, but print a warning for every problem and continue. This is a workaround for a bug in darcs where it sometimes fails to update the working directory. When darcs updates the working directory it has already successfully updated the inventory and the pristine cache, so the repository itself is not corrupted. However, an incomplete update to the working directory results in unintended differences between the working and pristine tree, looking like spurious unrecorded changes. These can be easily removed with 'darcs revert', but spurious changes have to be manually sorted out from real unrecorded changes. By darcs no longer quiting at the first problem, more of the working tree gets updated, giving less spurious changes and less manual work to fix the mess should the bug bite you. (issue434, Eric Kow, David Roundy) * Add a README file, created from HACKING. (issue287, Eric Kow) * New command, query tags (similar to 'darcs changes -t .) (Florian Weimer) * Include the query commands in the manual. (Florian Weimer) * The ssh control master is now off by default (it seems to hang on some large repositories). The option --disable-ssh-cm is replaced by the two options --ssh-cm and --no-ssh-cm (default). (Eric Kow) * Do not append a colon to host name when calling sftp. This does not solve all of issue362, just a minor annoyance along its way. (issue362, Eric Kow) * Get 'open' and 'psignal' declared on Solaris. (Dave Love) * Zsh completion supports new _darcs/pristine repository format. (Georg Neis) * Add documentation for DARCS_PAGER. (Benedikt Schmidt) * Turning off and on the ssh control master works for the Changes command. (issue383, Georg Neis) * Optimize unrecorded file moves with unrecorded file adds and removals. That is, if you add, rename and remove files multiple times without recording, whatsnew (and record) will only see the final result, not the whole sequence of moves. (Marco Tulio Gontijo e Silva) * Fix link error with errno for gcc 4.12 / glibc 2.4. (Benedikt Schmidt) * Remove the confusing text "user error" from some of GHC's error descriptions. (Juliusz Chroboczek) * Check for and fail build configuration if module quickcheck isn't available. (issue369, David Roundy) * Make darcs push QP-encode the bundle before transferring. This should hopefully fix issues with scp/sftp corrupting bundles in transit. (Juliusz Chroboczek) * Make it very clear in the documentation that the options --from and --author does NOT have anything to do with the sender or email author when sending patches as email with the darcs Send command. (Kirsten Chevalier) * Allow commented tests in tests_to_run. (David Roundy) * Make it an error to Put into a preexisting directory. Often one could be tempted to try to put into a directory, expecting to have the repository created as a subdirectory there, and it is confusing to have instead the repository contents mingled with whatever was already in that directory. (David Roundy) * Explicitly flush output on Windows after waiting for a lock, because Windows' stdout isn't always in line-buffered mode. (Simon Marlow) * Improve unhelpful "fromJust" error message in Push command. (Kirsten Chevalier) * Support option --all for Obliterate, Unpull and Unrecord. (issue111, David Roundy) * Ignore failure to set buffering mode for terminal in some places (supposedly fixes issue41, issue94, issue146 and issue318). (Tommy Pettersson) * Buildfix, don't import Control.Exception functions when compiling on Windows. (Edwin Thomson) * Add make rules for tag files. (Dave Love) * Add a semi-automated test for SSH-related things. (Eric Kow) * Allow Dist --dist-name to put the tar file in any directory by giving a full path as the dist name. (issue323, Wim Lewis) * Add rigorous error checking when darcs executes external commands. All low-level C return values are checked and turned into exceptions if they are error codes. In darcs main ExecExceptions are caught and turned into error messages to help the user. (Magnus Jonsson) * Redirect error messages from some external commands to stderr. (Tommy Pettersson) * Make configure fail if a required module is missing. (David Roundy) * The options for turning off and on the ssh control master works from the defaults file. (issue351, Tommy Pettersson) * Amend-record now keeps explicit dependencies (made with --ask-deps) from the amended patch. (issue328, Edwin Thomson) * Make libcurl use any http authentication. This let darcs use repositories protected with digest authentication. (Tobias Gruetzmacher) * Turning off and on the ssh control master works for the Send command. (Eric Kow) * Redirect stderr to Null when exiting SSH control master. This suppresses the output "Exit request sent" not suppressed by the quiet flag. (Eric Kow) * Fix curses stuff, especially on Solaris 10. (Dave Love) * Annotate various boring patterns. (Dave Love) -- Tommy Pettersson Sun, 03 Jun 2007 21:37:06 GMT darcs (1.0.9rc2) * Pass e-mail address only for %t in --sendmail-command. Msmtp seems to require this. Note that the full address is encoded in the message body. (Eric Kow) * Show error messages on stderr when starting and stopping the ssh control master. (Tommy Pettersson) * Rewrite check for spoofed patches with malicious paths. The check can now be turned off with the option --dont-restrict-paths (issue177). The new check only works for Apply and Pull, and it only looks at the remote patches. A more complete check is desirable. (Tommy Pettersson) * Add LGPL file referenced in fpstring.c (Dave Love). * Update FSF address in copyright headers(Dave Love). * New default boring file patterns: ,v .# .elc tags SCCS config.log .rej .bzr core .obj .a .exe .so .lo .la .darcs-temp-mail .depend and some more (Dave Love). * Move darcs.ps to the manual directory (Tommy Pettersson). * Pass -q flag to scp only, not ssh and scp. Putty's SSH (plink) does not recognize the -q flag. (issue334, Eric Kow) * Bugfix. Make darcs.cgi look for both pristine and current (Dan). * Don't lock the repo during `query manifest' (issue315, Dave Love). * Buildfix. Include curses.h with term.h (issue326, Dave Love). * Bugfix. Unrecord, Unpull and Obliterate could mess up a repository slightly if they removed a tag with a corresponding checkpoint. Only the commands Check and Repair were affected by the damage, and Get would also copy the damage to the new repository. (issue281, Tommy Pettersson) * Add a HACKING file with helpful references to pages on the darcs wiki (Jason Dagit). * New boring file patterns: hi-boot o-boot (Bulat Ziganshin, Eric Kow). * Require 'permission denied' test for MacOS X again. Perhaps something in MacOS X was fixed? (Eric Kow). * Look for Text.Regex in package regex-compat. Needed for GHC 6.6. (Josef Svenningsson) -- Tommy Pettersson Sun, 16 Nov 2006 14:03:51 GMT darcs (1.0.9rc1) * Improved handling of input, output and error output of external commands. Null-redirection on windows now works. Only stderr of ssh is null-redirected since putty needs stdin and stdout. (issue219, Eric Kow, Tommy Pettersson, Esa Ilari Vuokko) * Optimize away reading of non-managed files in summary mode of Whatsnew --look-for-adds (issue79, Jason Dagit). * Remove direct dependency to mapi32.dll; Improve MAPI compatibility. (Esa Ilari Vuokko) * Ignore .git if _darcs is found (Juliusz Chroboczek). * Add a haskell code policy test to catch uses of unwanted functions, bad formating and such. (Tommy Pettersson) * If the logfile supplied with option --logfile does not exist, fail instead of inserting no long comment. (issue142, Zachary P. Landau) * Make the pull 'permission test' work when run as root (Jon Olsson). * Handle unsimplified patches when further simplifying the summarized output. For unknown reason (a possibly previous version of) darcs allows a single patch to Add and Remove the same file in a single patch. The Changes command used to combine them, showing just a Remove. (issue185, Lele Gaifax) * Add workaround for HasBounds that was removed in GHC 6.6 (Esa Ilari Vuokko). * Really make --disable-ssh-cm work (issue239, Eric Kow). * Fix false errors in pull.pl test (David Roundy). * Clean up docs on DarcsRepo format (David Roundy). * Use stdin for passing the batch file to sftp, to allow password-based authentication (issue237, Eric Kow, Ori Avtalion). * Make darcs fail if the replace token pattern contains spaces. It would otherwise create a non-parsable patch in pending. (issue231, Tommy Pettersson) * Set a default author in the test suite harness so not every test has to do so. (Tommy Pettersson). * Run external ssh and scp commands quietly (with the quiet flag), but not sftp which doesn't recognize it (issue240). This reduces the amount of bogus error messages from putty. (Eric Kow) * Implement help --match, which lists all available forms for matching patches and tags with the various match options (Eric Kow). * Added .elc and .pyc suffixes to default binary file patterns (Juliusz Chroboczek ). * Added a link to the 'projects' part of the cgi repository interface, so that you go back to the project list (Peter Stuifzand). * Add a test suite for calling external programs (Eric Kow). * Don't warn about non-empty dirs when in quiet mode (Eric Kow). * New option --umask. This is best used in a repository's defaults file to ensure newly created files in the repository are (not) readable by other users. It can also be used when invoking darcs from a mail reader that otherwise sets a too restrictive umask. (Issue50, Juliusz Chroboczek) * Only check for ssh control master when it might be used. This suppresses the annoying "invalid command" error message. (Issue171, Eric Kow) * Fail with a sensible message when there is no default repository to pull from. (Lele Gaifax) -- Tommy Pettersson Sun, 08 Oct 2006 17:52:07 GMT darcs (1.0.7) * Fixed bug leading to a spurious "darcs failed: resource vanished" error message when darcs output is piped to a program such as head that then exits. (Issue160, David Roundy) * New option --diff-command overrides the default value of "diff" when darcs calls an external program to show differences between versions (Eric Kow). * Use the ControlMaster feature in OpenSSH version 3.9 and above to multiplex ssh sessions over a single connection, instead of opening a new connection for every patch (Issue32, Eric Kow). * Add a standalone graphical interface (experimental). The gui code prior to this patch allows graphical darcs forms to be run from the command line. This builds off that functionality by adding a graphical front-end, allowing users to access these forms with a click of a button. In other words, this allows users to run darcs without the command line. (Eric Kow) * Make unpull, unrecord, obliterate accept --gui (Eric Kow). * Freshen GUI code so that it compiles (Eric Kow). * Provide more information when a remote repository can't be correctly identified. (Juliusz Chroboczek) * The Send command can save, reuse and delete the accompanying description in a logfile. (Zachary P. Landau) * Display list of subcommands when getting help on a supercommand. (Eric Kow) * A proper fix for the problem with rmdir when there are non-managed files left in the working copy of the directory so it can't really be removed. This solves the two related problems with a missguiding error message in one case, and an unreported repository corruption in the other. Now there is no false warning and no repository coruption. (issue154, Eric Kow) * Escaping of trailing spaces and coloring now works with in the pager called with 'p' from interactive dialogues. (issue108, Tommy Pettersson) * Added default recognized binary file extensions: bmp, mng, pbm, pgm, pnm, ppm, tif, tiff. (Daniel Freedman) * Added a RSS link to common.xslt. (Peter Stuifzand) * Make short option -i a synonym for --interactive (Zachary P. Landau). * Improved argument substitution for --external-merger. All apperences of %N are replaced, not only those occurring as single words. (Daan Leijen) * Transition from _darcs/current to _darcs/pristine completed. New repositories are created with a "pristine" directory. Previous versions of darcs have been looking for this directory since version 1.0.2, but older versions than that can't read the new repository format. (Juliusz Chroboczek) * If you specify a repository directory, any absolute paths prefixed by this directory are converted to be ones relative to the repodir. (issue39, Eric Kow) * The --repodir flag works with many more commands: changes, dist, get, optimize, repair, replace, setpref, tag, trackdown. (RT#196, RT#567, Eric Kow) * The --repodir flag works with initialize command, and tries to create it if it does not exists. (RT#104, Eric Kow) * Add autom4te.cache to default boring patterns. (Kirill Smelkov) * Don't create temporary copies of the repository for the external merger program, unless there is for sure some conflict to resolve. (Edwin Thomson) * Modify Changes --interactive dialogue to behave like other interactive commands: accept 'y' and 'n' as answers and exit automatically after last question. (Zachary P. Landau) * Unnamed patches are now called "changes" in the interactive patch selection dialogues. (Tommy Pettersson) * Treat Enter as an invalid response in single character prompt mode, and give feedback instead of being mysteriously silent and unresponsive. (RT#261, Eric Kow) * Make short option -f a synonym for --force (Zooko). * Posthooks no longer cause an output message about success or failure, unless the --verbose option is used. (Jason Dagit) * Fix crash when using changes --interactive with --patch or --match (Zachary P. Landau). -- Tommy Pettersson Sun, 13 May 2006 17:14:38 GMT darcs (1.0.6) -- Tommy Pettersson Sun, 28 Feb 2006 11:18:41 GMT darcs (1.0.6rc1) * Check paths when applying patches to files and directories to stop maliciously handcrafted patches from modifying files outside of the repository or inside darcs private directories (issue48, Tommy Pettersson). * Revert optimization that sometimes applied patches incorrectly and corrupted the repository. This make darcs somewhat slower when applying patches. A full pull of the darcs repository itself takes 50% longer. (issue128, Tommy Pettersson). * Fix bug in Get --tag that produced a corrupt repository (issue67, Edwin Thomson). * Add newline between long comment and changed files list in dry-run summary to remove ambiguity (Edwin Thomson). * Extended date matching functionality: ISO 8601 dates and intervals, a larger subset of English like "yesterday at noon" (issue31/RT#34, Eric Kow). * Allow rename to different case (RT #466, Eric Kow). * Save long comment in a file if record fails the test run (Zachary P. Landau). * Fix win32 build breaks (Will Glozer). * Make --exact-version work when darcs is built from distributed tar ball (Marnix Klooster). * Coalesce pending changes created with setpref (issue70/RT#349, Eric Kow). * Support --interactive option in changes command (issue59, Zachary P. Landau). * New help command (RT#307, Eric Kow). * Add --without-docs option to configure (Richard Smith). * Obey normal autoconf conventions. Allows you to 'make install prefix=...' and doesn't change default for sysconfdir. (Dave Love) * Fix bug with non-existing directories. (David Roundy) * Remote apply does not use cd to change current directory to target directory any more. It uses --repodir when invoking remote darcs. This may break some darcs wrappers. (Victor Hugo Borja Rodriguez) * Support signed push (Esa Ilari Vuokko). * Added support for pulling from multiple repositories with one pull. The choice of --union/--intersection determines whether all new patches are pulled, or just those which are in all source repositories. This feature implements a suggestion by Junio Hamano of git. (David Roundy) * Patch bundle attachments get a file name, based on the first patch. (Zachary P. Landau) * The send command now takes a --subject flag. (Joeri van Ruth) * Fix --set-scripts-executable to work also when getting a local repository. (issue38, Eric Kow) * Removed the helper program darcs-createrepo. It was used for guided settup of a darcs repository and a corresponding user account to accept patches from signed emails. (issue14, Jason Dagit) * Print out the patch name when a test fails. (Zachary P. Landau). * Bugfix for --sendmail-command in Windows (Esa Ilari Vuokko). * Make apply --verify work with GnuPG in Windows (Esa Ilari Vuokko) * Bugfix for handling of absolute paths in Windows (issue47, Will Glozer) -- Tommy Pettersson Sun, 19 Feb 2006 23:19:19 GMT darcs (1.0.5) * Fixes for Windows (Will Glozer). * Adapt makefile to work with current ghc 6.4 (Will Glozer). * --help and --list-commands ignore other options (issue34, Eric Kow). * Fix apply with --verify for patch bundles signed by GnuPG in Windows (Esa Ilari Vuokko). * Make patch selection options together with --context work again (Daniel Bünzli). * Make option --commands outside of a repository work again (issue9, David Roundy). * Bugfix for pushing with ssh under Windows (issue15, Will Glozer). * Fix superfluous input bug in test suite (Florian Weimer). * Many English and markup fixes (Dave Love). -- Tommy Pettersson Sun, 07 Dec 2005 11:27:30 GMT darcs (1.0.4) * Fixed a bug in the external conflict resolution code. (bug #577, David Roundy) * Fixed a bug which made apply sometimes (but rarely) fail to check the the hash on patch bundles corrupted in just the wrong way. (David Roundy) * Added a simple check to darcs replace that avoids tokenizing lines that don't contain the token we're replacing. I feel a bit bad about introducing an optimization this late in the release cycle, but it makes a huge difference, and really should be safe. (David Roundy---famous last words) * Fixed bug where darcs didn't honor the SSH_PORT environment variable when calling sftp. (bug #576, fix suggested by Nicolas Frisby) * Avoid putting a wrongly-named directory in the tarball generated by darcs dist, if the name we wanted already exists in $TMPDIR. (Simon McVittie) * Fixed bug which caused "pull_firsts_middles called badly" errors when running record with --ask-deps flag. (bug #476, David Roundy) * Fixed bug where 'darcs changes --context' created a context that contained escapes that prevented its use with send. (bug #544, David Roundy) * Make interactive push/pull/send/apply respect the --summary option by printing each patch as if you had hit 'x'. (David Roundy, bug #512) * Fix bug when calling whatsnew --summary when a file without a trailing newline has been deleted. (David Roundy) * Fix --set-scripts-executable to work again. This feature had been broken since version 1.0.3. (David Roundy) * Simple (safe) fix for a bug which caused darcs to run out of file descriptors when pulling over 1000 patches. (David Roundy) * Fix bug in perl parts of test suite which led to spurious warning messages. (David Roundy) * Fix bug in configure when compiling darcs from tarball on a system that has no darcs present. (David Roundy) * Fix bug that shows up when recording in a repository lacking a pristine tree. (David Roundy) -- David Roundy Sun, 13 Nov 2005 13:44:31 GMT darcs (1.0.4pre4) * Fix error in install target of makefile, which was introduced in 1.0.4pre3. (Andres Loeh) * Fix problem where make install modified the permissions on system directories. (David Roundy, bug #494) * Fix bug in display when whatsnew is given "-l" twice. (David Roundy, bug #501) * Added support for --posthook to all commands. (Jason Dagit) * Made repair able to work on partial repositories. (fixes bug #189) * Changed the delimiter in the long-comment file from ***DARCS*** to ***END OF DESCRIPTION*** and clarified its meaning a bit. (Jason Dagit and David Roundy) * Added code to allow darcs to apply some patch bundles that have had carriage returns added to their line endings. (David Roundy, bug #291) * Make darcs accept command line flags in any order, rather than requiring that they precede file, directory or repository arguments. Fixes bug #477 (David Roundy) * Modified darcs get to display patch numbers rather than a bunch of dots while applying patches during a darcs get. Also added similar feedback to the check and repair commands. (Mat Lavin, bug #212) * Made revert --all not ask for confirmation, so it can be used in scripting, as one would use pull --all or record --all. (Jani Monoses) * Added file ChangeLog.README explaining how to add entries to the changelog. (Mark Stosberg and David Roundy) * Fixed incompatibility with somewhat older versions of libcurl. (Kannan Goundan) * Fixed bug that showed up when after editing a long comment, the long comment file is empty. (David Roundy, bug #224) -- David Roundy Sun, 01 Sep 2005 11:04:18 GMT darcs (1.0.4pre2) * (EXPERIMENTAL) Added support for reading and writing to git repositories. There remain efficiency issues with the handling of git merges and darcs is not yet able to either create a new git repository, or to pull from a remote git repository. See building darcs chapter in manual for instructions on building darcs with git support. (Juliusz Chroboczek, configuration contributed by Wim Lewis) * Add new "query manifest" command to list files and/or directories in repository. Add some related infrastucture to support "subcommands". (Florian Weimer) * Make configure properly detect that we're on windows when building under mingw. (David Roundy) * Fixed bug #208: error when specifying pulling from a relative default repository if we are ourselves within a subdirectory of our repository. (David Roundy) * Change internal mechanism for writing the "pending" file to be (hopefully) more robust. (David Roundy, original idea by Ian Lynagh) * Fixed a bug that caused get --partial to fail sometimes. (David Roundy) * Made push/pull --verbose --dry-run now display contents of patches, analogous to the behavior of changes --verbose. (Jim Radford) * Various build system cleanups. (Peter Simons) -- David Roundy Sun, 31 Jul 2005 12:10:29 GMT darcs (1.0.4pre1) * Performance improvement: Several commands now read patches lazily, which reduces memory usage. A test of 'darcs check' on the Linux kernel repository showed the memory usage was nearly cut in half, from about 700 Megs to 400. Coded by David Roundy. * New feature: darcs put, the easiest way to create a remote repo, symmetric with 'darcs get'. Coded by Josef Svenningsson. * Performance improvement: RT#222: darcs performs better on files with massive changes. Coded by Benedikt Schmidt. * New Feature: darcs optimize now has "--modernize-patches" and "--reorder-patches" flags. See the manual for details. * Performance improvement: Using 'darcs diff' is now exponentially faster when comparing specific files in the working directory to the most recent copy in the repo. Coded by kannan@cakoose.com. -- David Roundy Sun, 18 Jul 2005 11:22:34 GMT darcs (1.0.3) * Fixed bug #396: error when specifying a removed file on the command line of darcs record. -- Tomasz Zielonka Sun, 24 May 2005 21:51:27 GMT darcs (1.0.3rc2) * Internals: darcs' ChangeLog is automatically generated from repo history and a database of ChangeLog entries (Tomasz Zielonka) * Fixed: RT#370: --tags work in unpull and unrecord (Tommy Pettersson) * New feature: added support for displaying patches with pager when selecting patches (Benedikt Schmidt) * New feature: new match type "exact" (John Goerzen) * Feature: unrevert accepts --all and --interactive options (Jani Monoses) * Fixed: darcs works with nvi (Benedikt Schmidt) -- Tomasz Zielonka Sun, 15 May 2005 08:56:17 GMT darcs (1.0.3rc1) * New Feature: darcs.cgi now uses appropriate caching headers. This will make repeated calls to the same pages by cache-aware browsers much faste in some cases. It also means that darcs.cgi can be usefully combined with a cache-aware proxy for even better performance. (Will Glozer) * New feature: more control over color and escaping in printed patches, alternative color scheme, escaping of trailing spaces (Tommy Pettersson) * Fixed: fixed bug manifesting with failed createDirectory (David Roundy) * Internals: RT#255, several welcome refactors were made to the test suite, including comprehensible shell test script output, improved portability, and easier maintenance. (Michael Schwern). * New Feature: RT#245: Using --look-for-adds with 'whatsnew' implies --summary. This should save some typing for the common case. (Karel Gardas, Mark Stosberg) * New Feature: RT#231: darcs gives better feedback now if you try to record nonexistent files or directories. (Karel Gardas, Mark Stosberg) * New feature: send accepts --sendmail-command that allows to customize the command used for sending patch bundles (Benedikt Schmidt) * Fixed: RT#266: Adding a non-existent dir and file gives the expected message now. (Tomasz Zielonka). * Fixed: RT#10, a missed conflict resolution case. More accurately, we noticed at had been fixed some point. A regression test for it was added. (Tomasz Zielonka, Mark Stosberg) * New feature: darcs tag can now accept the tag name on the command line (RT#143). (Josef Svenningsson, Mark Stosberg, David Roundy) * New feature: unrecord and unpull have a more powerful interface similar to 'darcs pull'. This allows for multiple patch selection. Coded by Tommy Pettersson. * Bug fix: RT#305: Removed '--patch' from the 'changes', which conflicted with the new '--patches' option. * New feature: Automatically add parent directories for darcs add. (RT#20) Coded by Benedikt Schmidt. * Add helpful diagnostic message when there is a failure while pulling (RT#201) -- Tomasz Zielonka Sun, 26 Apr 2005 00:25:54 GMT darcs (1.0.2) * No changes from 1.0.2rc4. -- David Roundy Fri, 4 Feb 2005 07:33:09 -0500 darcs (1.0.2rc4) * More documentation improvements, plus one clearer error message. * Fixed (new since 1.0.1) bug which broke darcs repair. * Fixed problem with makefile which caused spurious relinkings. * Fixed bug in new optimize --relink command, which could cause repository corruption. -- David Roundy Wed, 2 Feb 2005 06:24:19 -0500 darcs (1.0.2rc3) * Documentation improvements related to Juliusz new code. * Fixed longstanding leaks in zlib/threads code. * Fixed some bugs in the new optimize --relink code. * Fixed bug in darcs diff when the repository name is empty. -- David Roundy Sat, 29 Jan 2005 07:28:39 -0500 darcs (1.0.2rc2) * Fixed bug on win32 when there are spaces in a repositories path and an external program (i.e. ssh) is called. (Will Glozer) -- David Roundy Thu, 27 Jan 2005 06:46:37 -0500 darcs (1.0.2rc1) * Added experimental support for repositories without a "pristine tree" This is the new name for the cache stored in _darcs/current/. (Juliusz Chroboczek) * Added an optimize --relink command to save disk space when using multiple repositories. (Juliusz Chroboczek) * Ignore conflict markers in the boring and binaries files. * Fixed bug in get --partial when patches are in an unusual order. (Andrew Johnson) * Fixed bug which caused a crash on a local get of a repository owned by another user. * Fixed bug in changes/annotate that shows up when a directory has been moved. * Allow ncurses in addition to curses in configure. * Added --set-scripts-executable option. (Karel Gardas) * Added configure option to fix path to sendmail even if it's not present. * Made bash completion more robust regarding shell special chars. * Added konquerer workaround to cgi annotate. (Will Glozer) * Addressed bug #114 - provide a better error when you accidently try to pull from yourself. (Mark Stosberg) * Made a few documentation improvements. * Made http user agent reflect the darcs and libcurl version. * Fixed commute bug in merger code. * Fixed bug in decoding mime messages. -- David Roundy Wed, 26 Jan 2005 08:51:24 -0500 darcs (1.0.1) * Made darcs changes --context work on an empty repo. * Fixed bug in relative directories as arguments to pull/push. * Fixed bug leading to extraneous changes in pending. * Fixed bug #137 - XML escaping for >. * Fixed gui code to compile with wxhaskell 0.8 (but it's still buggy). -- David Roundy Tue, 14 Dec 2004 08:16:10 -0500 darcs (1.0.1rc3) * Made it so adding and removing a file doesn't leave changes in pending. * Fixed bug in creating the file to be edited for the long comment. * Made "bug in get_extra" message explain possible cause of the problem, which is related to a bug in commutation that made it into version 1.0.0. * Fixed stubborn bug in annotate. * Fixed problem when unrecording binary file patches. -- David Roundy Sat, 11 Dec 2004 14:23:53 -0500 darcs (1.0.1rc2) * Various optimizations. * darcs now supports an arbitrary number of transport protocols through the use new environment variables. See DARCS_GET_FOO in the 'Configuring Darcs' chapter in the manual for more details. * darcs now supports an arbitrary number of concurrent connections when communicating with remote repos. See the documentation for DARCS_MGET_FOO in the 'Configuring Darcs' chapter in the manual for more details. -- David Roundy Wed, 8 Dec 2004 08:02:48 -0500 darcs (1.0.1rc1) * Fixed bug in commutation of adjacent hunks which have either no new or no old lines. * Numerous newline fixes for windows. * On windows, use MAPI to resolve to and from addresses. * Fixed problem where the --cc was ignored in apply if the patch succeeded. -- David Roundy Wed, 1 Dec 2004 06:24:08 -0500 darcs (1.0.1pre1) * Changed apply to by default refuse to apply patches that would lead to conflicts. * Removed the old darcs_cgi script, in favor of the darcs.cgi script. * Fixed changes to work better in partial repositories. * Set stdin and stdout to binary mode to fix end of line problems with push under windows. * Made send create proper MIME email. * Removed reportbug command, really wasn't necesary, and didn't work well. Report bugs by an email to bugs@darcs.net, which creates a ticket in our BTS. * Allow darcs to work with a password protected proxy. * Get multiple files with a single wget call when darcs is compiled without libcurl support. * Use sftp instead of scp to copy patches via ssh -- this reuses a single connection for better speed. * Made _darcs/current polymorphic (but not really documented). * Made optimize --uncompress work with --partial repos. * Various minor interface improvements. * Made changes work better when specifying a file, and working in a partial repository. * Fixed bug in causing "Fail: _darcs/patches/unrevert: removeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)". Resolves bugs #57, #61. -- David Roundy Sun, 21 Nov 2004 08:29:24 -0500 darcs (1.0.0) * Fixed compile error when antimemoize is enabled. * Fixed bug that showed up when dealing with international characters in filenames. * Various documentation improvements. -- David Roundy Mon, 8 Nov 2004 06:12:08 -0500 darcs (1.0.0rc4) * Use autoconf to check for working install program. * Renamed rerecord to amend-record in a futile attempt to avoid confusion. * Made pull accept the --repodir option. * Fixed off-by-one error in annotate that kept users from seeing "deleted" version. * Check filesystem semantics at runtime to avoid using mmap on windows filesystems. * Fixed darcs.cgi to work properly when browsing history of renamed files. * Use anonymous file handle for temporary files in darcs.cgi -- fixes a temporary file leak and potentially improves security. * Added --summary option to commands that accept --dry-run. * Made pull prompt for confirmation when there is a conflict with unrecorded changes. * Made unrevert interactive. * Don't try to generate a new name on get if name was given explicitely. * Always mark conflicts, even if there's an obvious solution. * Quote conflict attribute values in xml output. * Fail if the user gives a newline in the patch name. * Fixed bug where new files didn't show up in darcs diff. * Really fix newlines in whatsnew -u. * Fixed bug in handling of tags in changes and annotate. * Fixed bug in default options containing "--". * Fixed various other build problems in 1.0.0rc3. * Fixed embarrassing failure-to-compile-on-windows bug. -- David Roundy Mon, 1 Nov 2004 05:19:01 -0500 darcs (1.0.0rc3) * Fixed bug leading to creation of empty "hunk" patches. * Fixed bug in rollback when there are pending changes. * Fixed push bug when default apply is --interactive. * Fixed a bug where "darcs pull --list-options" would try to complete to "home/.../darcs_repo" instead of "/home/.../darcs_repo". * Fixed flushing bug in darcs.cgi. * Fixed commutation bug with renames and file adds/removals. * Made --summary indicate conflicted changes. * Fixed generation of extra hunk in diff algorithm. * Added X-Mail-Originator header to emails sent by darcs. * Fixed a couple of bugs in the resolve command. * Added new cgi diff command to produce unified diff. * Notify when there are conflicts on push. * Added 'a' key to say yes to all remaining changes for interactive commands. * Automatically generate AUTHORS file from repo history. * Made pull --quiet actually quiet. * Fixed bugs in whatsnew -ls, and distinguished between manually added files and automatically added files. * Fixed bug in darcs --commands when called outside a repo. -- David Roundy Sun, 3 Oct 2004 07:45:05 -0400 darcs (1.0.0rc2) * Added support for comments in prefs files. * Added new --enable-antimemoize compile option which reduces memory usage at the expense of increased computational time. * Added a new command: "reportbug" * Fixed a bug that prevented applying of a patch bundle to an "unoptimized" repo. * Fixed bug where asking for changes to a nonexistent file in a subdirectory would show the patch that created or renamed that subdirectory. * Improved the robustness of unrevert. Now actions that will make unrevert impossible should warn the user. * Fixed bug when moving files or directories to the root directory of repo. * Various changes to make the --logfile way of specifying the patch name and comments in record more friendly: - Allows editing of the long comment even when --logfile is specified, if the --edit-long-comment option is also used. - When editing the long comment, the change summary is included below the actual text for reference, and the patch name is included in the first line (and thus may be modified). - The --logfile option is ignored if such a file doesn't exist. - A --delete-logfile option was added, which tells darcs to delete the file after doing the record. This is intended to allow you to stick a --logfile=foo option in your defaults without accidentally recording multiple patches with the same comments because you forgot to modify it. * Fixed bug leading to .hi files in tarball. * Made ctrl-C work under windows, but only "pure" windows consoles, not in cygwin shells or mingw's rxvt (room for improvement here). * Fixed bug that led to curl not being tried when darcs is not compiled with libcurl. * Added an environment variable DARCS_USE_ISPRINT for people who use non-ascii characters in their files to indicate if the haskell standard library "isPrint" function works properly on their system (which depends on locale). * Reduced the number of hunks produced by the internal diff algorithm, when there are multiple equivalent ways of interpreting a change. * Made the --from-{patch,tag,match} options inclusive, and added a --{patch,match} option to diff (which was made easier to define by the inclusiveness change, since --patch x is now equivalent to --from-patch x --to-patch x). * Added support for a second argument to get, which specifies the name of the new directory. -- David Roundy Sun, 12 Sep 2004 06:54:45 -0400 darcs (1.0.0rc1) * Remove some lazy file IO which may have been causing trouble pushing in windows and using windows shares. * Various interface improvements and improved error messages. * Fixed bug that could cause conflicts in pending when unrecording a patch that contained two non-commuting non-hunk patches. * Fixed bug in --ask-deps option of record. * Added --exact-version option which gives the precise darcs context from which darcs was compiled. * MIME fixes in patch forwarding. * Various improvements to the darcs.cgi script. * Added --reverse option to changes. * Fixed patch numbering when file or directory arguments are given to an interactive command. -- David Roundy Sun, 15 Aug 2004 07:43:30 -0400 darcs (0.9.23) * Added a rerecord command, which will add changes to an existing recorded patch * Added support for a MOTD. * Vastly improved the speed and memory use of darcs optimize --checkpoint as well as darcs record, in the case where a record consists primarily of adds. -- David Roundy Mon, 26 Jul 2004 08:11:20 -0400 darcs (0.9.22) * add preliminary --context option to changes and get. * display change number, e.g. "(1/3)" in interactive commands. * show moves in summary format. * add hash of patch bundles in darcs send. * properly support --verbose and --quiet in add. * don't display binary data to screen. * fix bug in selecting patches by pattern. * fix various locking-related bugs introduced in 0.9.21. * fix bug when specifying logfile in a subdirectory. * support backslashes for directory separators in windows. * fix file modification time bug. -- David Roundy Sat, 26 Jun 2004 07:42:05 -0400 darcs (0.9.21) * made mv work even if you've already mv'ed the file or directory. * remember configure settings when reconfiguring. * added --leave-test-directory to save the directory in which the test is run on record or check. * added HTTP redirect support (thanks Benedikt). * fixed problems when unrecording a patch with conflits. * fixed locking on nfs (thanks Juliusz). * added preliminary version of a new cgi script for browsing darcs repositories (thanks to Will Glozer for contributing this). * add and modify a number of short flag options. * fix bug in applying new order patch bundles that are GPG signed. * fix bug in diff when a tagged version was requested. -- David Roundy Sat, 12 Jun 2004 05:39:48 -0400 darcs (0.9.20) * fix bug in darcs-createrepo. * add support for DARCS_SCP and DARCS_SSH environment variables. * add XML support for --summary options of changes and annotate. * better command-line completion on commands accepting a list of files or directories. * fix bug causing empty hunk patches to lead to failures. * fix bug where --all overrode file choice in record. * fix bug when testing patches that create subdirectories within subdirectories. * preserve pending changes when pulling or applying. * give better error message in pull when patch isn't readable. * allow sendEmail with no "to", just "cc" recipients. This should fix the trouble with trying to --reply to a patch coming from a push rather than a send. -- David Roundy Wed, 5 May 2004 06:01:48 -0400 darcs (0.9.19) * fix bugs leading to failures in the wxhaskell interface. * fix bug that caused darcs diff to fail. * fixed bug in get that lead to _darcs/current/_darcs directories. * improved error reporting in several situations. * fixed bug when pulling or pushing into an empty repo. * added --summary option to changes to summarize the changes made in each patch. -- David Roundy Fri, 9 Apr 2004 07:19:34 -0400 darcs (0.9.18) * added support for sending email from windows using the MAPI interface. This code attaches the patch bundle in base64-encoded form, which darcs can't currently decode (expect that in the next release), but the patch bundle can be manually applied if a mail program does the decoding. * renamed "darcs push" to "darcs send" and added a new "darcs push" command roughly equivalent to the old "darcs push --and-apply". * removed support for setting up a test suite by simple creating a file named "darcs_test". You now should use setpref to define the test suite command. * fixed some problems when working in a --partial repository. * lots of code was cleaned up. We have enabled the -Wall compiler flag and are in the process of eliminating all the warnings. This should make the code more friendly to new developers, and also helps with the next bullet point: * improved handling of errors--informative failure messages are more likely than they were before. * by default only check changes made since last checkpoint--this greatly speeds up check. * add --quiet option. Some commands don't yet support this. If there's a command you want to quiet down, let us know. * several performance enhancements: improved SHA1 performance, faster check and get on repositories with a long history and improved performance with very large files. -- David Roundy Thu, 1 Apr 2004 05:43:18 -0500 darcs (0.9.17) * fixed bug in darcs apply that made the --no-test option fail. * fixed bug that caused darcs to set file permissions to be non-world-readable. * darcs record and whatsnew can now accept file or directory arguments and limit their actions to changes in those files or directories. * darcs changes now can accept file or directory arguments and limit itself to changes affecting those files or directories. -- David Roundy Sat, 21 Feb 2004 08:12:34 -0500 darcs (0.9.16) * Add --sign-as=KEYID option to push command. * make optimize split up inventory for faster pulls * Allow use of a different make command for tests, such as gmake * Can now put prefs that would normally go in _darcs/prefs (defaults, binaries and boring) in ~/.darcs/ to set the prefs for all your repositories at once. * add primitive xml output to annotate of directory. * When pushing a patch, add the list of changes in the description. * refuse to rollback a patch twice, since that would cause problems. * make darcs diff accept optional arguments indicating files and directories to diff. * preserve permissions on files in working directory. * put docs in ...share/doc/darcs not share/darcs/doc. * add support for multiple-choice options. This means that you can now set your default option in _darcs/prefs/defaults, and then override that default on the command line. * shortened --use-external-merge-tool option to --external-merge * more "boring" patterns. -- David Roundy Tue, 10 Feb 2004 07:08:14 -0500 darcs (0.9.15) * next step repository format transition--we use the new patch filenames. * fix handling of text files with no trailing newline--this will cause some trouble. Darcs will require that you convert your repository using convert-repo. This will leave you with a bunch of changes regarding trailing newlines which you will either want to record or revert. * the windows support is somewhat improved. * added simple "repair" command that can repair some kinds of inconsistencies in the repository. * added primitive "annotate" command to extract information about modifications to files and directories. * fixed handling of darcs mv to allow moving to directories in a more intuitive manner. * handling of binary files was dramatically improved in both memory and cpu usage. * added autoconf testing framework to clean up code dealing with different versions of ghc, features that don't exist on windows, bugs that only exist on windows, etc. * don't accept invalid flags. * add more patterns to boring and binary. * use autoconf test to handle posix signals and windows '\\' handling. * switch to using new patch filenames. * XML formatted output for 'changes' command * add support for unidiff-like whatsnew output. * fix bug in RTS memory calculation for large RAM size * add rollback command. * improve checkpointing support. * add diff-opts option to darcs diff. * add support for building docs using htlatex or hevea rather than latex2html. * use locking whereever it is needed. * add safe (atomic) writing of inventory files. -- David Roundy Fri, 12 Dec 2003 07:59:54 -0500 darcs (0.9.14) * darcs changes now shows times formatted according to current locale. * add support for automatically treating files containing ^Z or '\0' as binary. * add experimental checkpointing, allowing get to only download the recent change history. * allow darcs to be called within subdirectories of a repository. * make default be to compress patches. * add --summary option to whatsnew. * add trackdown command. * fix bug in darcs dist --verbose. * make darcs diff have closer behavior to cvs diff. In particular, darcs diff with no arguments now gives you the difference between the working directory and the latest recorded version. * support external graphical merge tools. * fix bug where binary patch is created even with no change. * support darcs -v for version. Also mention the darcs version in the usage mesage. * ignore empty lines in boring file and binary file. * preserve pending changes (e.g. file adds or darcs replaces) across revert and record. * create repositories with new patch filename format. The new repo format is now created alongside the old format, but the old format is read. There is a tool called convert-repo that will convert an old format repo to have both formats. * use iso format for dates in record. * New patch-selecting interface. This patch only uses the new routine for revert, since it's not particularly well tested. The text method now allows one to go back and edit previous patches. The idea is that eventually all commands that need the user to select a subset of patches will use this routine. * use hash for cgi cache file names. * add preliminary experimental GUI support using wxhaskell. * remember author name after first record in a repo. * add unrevert command. * always match full pathnames when checking boringness or binaryness. * rewrite replace tokenizer for more speed. * make darcs compile with ghc 6.2 and later. * fix some bugs in darcs diff. * make --and-apply work locally as well as via ssh. Also added a --and-apply-as that uses sudo to run the apply command as a different user. -- David Roundy Mon, 10 Nov 2003 07:08:20 -0500 darcs (0.9.13) * Various performance enhancements. * add --pipe option to tag and record, which causes them to prompt for all their input, including date. This can be useful when creating repository converters. * remove '-t' short command line option for '--to' and the '-o' short option for '--reponame'. * remove the darcs-patcher program. The functionality of the darcs-patcher program is taken over by the darcs apply command. Several fancy features have been added, as described in the Apply section of the manual. * support spaces and (maybe) unicode in filenames. * updates to win32 support * push via ssh * add --without-libcurl option to configure * include DarcsURL in push email. * add support for reading and writing gzipped patch files. * allow multiple --to addresses on push, and also support --cc for additional addresses. * when pulling or pushing from lastrepo, say where lastrepo is. * only save lastrepo in get if the source repo wasn't a relative directory path. -- David Roundy darcs (0.9.12) * add manual section on building darcs. * improve scaling of checking for and resolving conflicts, which was an O(n^2) function. * escape ESC char when printing patches. * don't reorder patches unless necesary--this avoids an O(n^2) operation which was making a darcs record very slow when a lot of files were added. * fix default regexps for boring file (Thanks Trevor!) * replace now ignores files that aren't in the repo. * make darcs add refuse to add files whose subdirectories don't exist. * implement support for binary files. * added support for running external programs to fetch files. * fix conflict resolution bug from 0.9.11. * make the patcher run the test prior to applying. * add repo locking. * Fix bug when pulling from a repo containing just one patch (thanks Peter). * install cgi script in cgi-bin directory. -- David Roundy darcs (0.9.11) * A rewrite of the configure code and makefile (thanks to Peter Simons). * Added several new repository configuration options including a setpref command which allows you to set preferences options that are pulled from repo to repo. * Yet another rewrite of the merging code. * User can now revert changes on a change-by-change basis. * Yet another major improvement in speed and memory consumption. * Add a darcs diff command to compare two versions. -- David Roundy Mon, 30 Jun 2003 06:42:10 -0400 darcs (0.9.10) * Added a way to configure the default values for options to darcs commands. See Appendix B of manual. * darcs push and pull now default to pulling and pushing from the most recently accessed repository (if you don't specify a repo). * Numerous bugfixes. -- David Roundy Wed, 21 May 2003 07:08:40 -0400 darcs (0.9.9) * Created a way to have a "centralized server". (See darcs-patcher chapter in manual). * Added new darcs-server package. * Switch to new repository format. Note that your repo will only be converted to the new format if you use certain commands such as unpull. You can recognize the new format by the presence of a _darcs/inventories/ directory. * Add the ability to sign patches sent with push using gnupg and to verify those signatures when applying. (This is the authentication basis for the above-mentioned server). * Fix bug in application of a file rename patch. -- David Roundy Thu, 8 May 2003 06:58:42 -0400 darcs (0.9.8) * Fix rare bug in check when files happen to be a multiple of 1024 bytes in length. * Fix bug in reading patch ids with long comments from local files. * Prepare for a change in the repository format. The format doesn't change for this version, but version 0.9.8 is able to read the new repository format. -- David Roundy Wed, 30 Apr 2003 08:54:18 -0400 darcs (0.9.7) * Fix a couple of rename conflict bugs. * Add new test suite framework, along with several tests. * Several major optimizations for speed and memory. * Added --ignore-times option to not assume that when a file modification time hasn't changed the file itself hasn't changed. -- David Roundy Sat, 26 Apr 2003 07:57:01 -0400 darcs (0.9.6) * Fixed a couple of bugs in the merging of conflicting renames. * Added an interface to include long comments when recording. * Improve the interface of pull, allowing for viewing the patches before pulling them. * Include zsh command completion examples with docs. * Massively improved responsiveness in command completion. * Use packed strings to save memory. * Fixed a bug that shows up in empty repos. * Fixed multiple bugs in the mv command. -- David Roundy Thu, 17 Apr 2003 09:34:34 -0400 darcs (0.9.5) * Improve merge of creation of files and directories with the same name. * Add darcs push and apply commands, which are the beginning of work towards supporting a "centralized server" concept a la CVS. However, they are also useful for a "Linus" style workflow, based on emailing patches. In theory they could also be used to provide a smart server that could server pulls using less bandwidth. * Add an unpull command analagous to unrecord, but which removes the patches from the working directory also. * Enable the mv command, since the mv patches have now been supported by a couple of versions. * Include zsh_completion code, thanks to Aaron Denney . -- David Roundy Wed, 9 Apr 2003 07:52:01 -0400 darcs (0.9.4) * Speed up whatsnew and record in the case where there are huge numbers of extra files in the working directory. * Small (~10%) speedup in get. -- David Roundy Fri, 4 Apr 2003 09:08:38 -0500 darcs (0.9.3) * Optimized whatsnew and record by seting modification time of "current" files equal to that of working files if they are identical, so I won't have to check again if the working one hasn't been changed. * Rewrite file renaming code (no creation). * Add support for replacing tokens in files. * Make cgi output work more accurately, and point out which files were modified by each patch. * Add a caching feature to the cgi script to speed things up a bit. * Turn on creation of dependencies when recording. * Add a 'tag' command. * Rewrote the 'pull' code to hopefully speed it up (and in any case to greatly simplify it). -- David Roundy Thu, 3 Apr 2003 07:08:05 -0500 darcs (0.9.2) * Add build dependency on tetex and latex2html * Have internal diff code properly respond to deleted files and directories. * Create file and directory rename patch types. (no creation--which means that I am waiting to create commands to create such patches until later, to avoid backward compatibility issues of repos.) * Add support for patch dependencies. (no creation) * Add support for token replacement patches. (no creation) -- David Roundy Thu, 27 Mar 2003 07:59:09 -0500 darcs (0.9.1) * Make darcs get --verbose actually be verbose (which is important because it takes so long that the user might be afraid it's hanging. * Speed up the merge in complicated cases, possibly dramatically. * Add a darcs remove command. -- David Roundy Mon, 10 Mar 2003 09:48:55 -0500 darcs 0.9.0 * Initial Release. -- David Roundy Wed, 3 Mar 2003 13:51:58 -0500 Local variables: mode: outline outline-regexp: "[dD]\\| +\\*+" paragraph-separate: "[ ]*$" end:
