darcs (1.0.4)

 -- David Roundy <droundy@darcs.net>  Sun, 13 Nov 2005 13:44:31 GMT

  * 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)

    escapes that prevented its use with send. (bug #544, David Roundy)

darcs (1.0.4rc1)

 -- Tommy Pettersson <ptp@lysator.liu.se>  Sun, 08 Oct 2005 10:16:53 GMT

  * 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)

    messages. (David Roundy)

  * Fix bug in configure when compiling darcs from tarball on a system that
    has no darcs present. (David Roundy)

  * 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

    changelog. (Mark Stosberg and David Roundy)

  * Fixed incompatibility with somewhat older versions of libcurl. (Kannan

 -- David Roundy <droundy@abridgegame.org>  Sun, 31 Jul 2005 12:10:29 GMT

  * (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)

darcs (1.0.4pre1)

 -- David Roundy <droundy@abridgegame.org>  Sun, 18 Jul 2005 11:22:34 GMT

  * 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.

darcs (1.0.3)

 -- Tomasz Zielonka <tomasz.zielonka@gmail.com>  Sun, 24 May 2005 21:51:27 GMT

  * Fixed bug #396: error when specifying a removed file on the command line
    of darcs record.

 -- Tomasz Zielonka <tomasz.zielonka@gmail.com>  Sun, 15 May 2005 08:56:17 GMT

  * 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)

darcs (1.0.3rc1)

 -- Tomasz Zielonka <tomasz.zielonka@gmail.com>  Sun, 26 Apr 2005 00:25:54 GMT

  * 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)

 -- David Roundy <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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.

    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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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.

    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.

    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

  * 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

 -- David Roundy <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  Sun, 12 Sep 2004 06:54:45 -0400

  * 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.

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.

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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>

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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>

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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <wnoise@ofb.net>.

 -- David Roundy <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  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 <droundy@abridgegame.org>  Mon, 10 Mar 2003 09:48:55 -0500

darcs 0.9.0

  * Initial Release.

 -- David Roundy <droundy@abridgegame.org>  Wed,  3 Mar 2003 13:51:58 -0500
