Hi, I know I have been silent about 2.2.1, although I have promised to move it forward. So this is the current state: branch-2.2 is mostly up to date with bugfixes on mainline; the possibly outstanding fixes are these:
Mon Jan 12 14:50:12 CET 2009 Dave Love <[email protected]> * Resolve issue1311: Use time zones from GNU coreutils; improve doc. Sat Jan 10 04:29:07 CET 2009 Rob Hoelz <[email protected]> * resolve issue1235: added --summary to obliterate Wed Jan 21 18:24:22 CET 2009 Judah Jacobson <[email protected]> * Resolve issue1292: re-encode line input from the Haskeline backend. Thu Jan 22 22:45:43 CET 2009 Judah Jacobson <[email protected]> * Tell the configure script to require haskeline>=0.6.0. I'd like to hear some opinions about how to handle these three issues. If no objections are raised before this weekend, I will tag 2.2.1rc1 with current repository state on Saturday and proceed with releasing 2.2.1 around 3rd of February (bar critical issues). I'd also like to invite developers to use the release branch as their daily darcs, so problems will be spotted and fixed. Moreover, this will give us more room to break mainline (http://darcs.net) -- see the current cabal switch-over that's causing some disturbances. The release branch does not have the comfort of a buildbot watching over it (this will hopefully change for 2.3 release branch), so it needs human supervision. Thanks! Yours, Petr. PS: For completeness, this is the list of changes on the branch since 2.2.0. Mostly documentation and only minor code changes. I have left out anything that seemed intrusive. The diff between branch-2.2 and unstable is currently 49 patches. Sun Jan 25 10:10:34 CET 2009 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Resolve issue1313: Clickable ToC and xrefs in PDF user manual. Thu Jan 22 03:10:52 CET 2009 Duncan Coutts <[email protected]> * Remove duplication in fields in the .cabal file Looks like it was a copy and paste error. Thu Jan 22 03:10:38 CET 2009 Duncan Coutts <[email protected]> * Remove unused ghc -threaded flag in library section The -threaded flag applies only to linking programs. Despte this, ghc regects the combinaton of using the -threaded and profiling flags, even for building a library. New Cabal versions will ignore the -threaded flag when building programs but not for libs because that combination is senseless. So there is a positive benefit to dropping it from the darcs library as it will let people build a profiling darcs with ghc-6.8 without having to modify the .cabal file to drop the -threaded flag. Thu Jan 22 07:40:14 CET 2009 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * NEWS for Darcs 2.2.0. Thu Jan 22 07:39:59 CET 2009 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Use conventional name "NEWS" for "new in $version" notes. Fri Jan 16 18:09:55 CET 2009 [email protected] * Haddocks for HashedIO Fri Jan 16 18:09:31 CET 2009 [email protected] * Haddocks for Cache Fri Jan 16 18:07:42 CET 2009 [email protected] * Haddock for Darcs.External.fetchFile Tue Jan 13 01:13:45 CET 2009 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Clean up when previous test crashed. Sun Jan 11 16:21:30 CET 2009 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Make "make clean" remove microbench. Put the clean target directly below the build target, so it's harder to get them out of sync in future. Tue Jan 13 23:33:35 CET 2009 Thorkil Naur <[email protected]> * Fix test optimize_relink.sh when no hard linking available The semicolon in the echo command causes the test to fail with the message > optimize_relink.sh: line 37: assuming: command not found when no hard linking is available. Sun Jan 11 12:48:01 CET 2009 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Consistently use sh (not csh) prompts in user manual. The sh prompt ($) was already used elsewhere in the manual, and I choose to standardize on it instead of csh (%) because sh (especially bash) seems more widespread and recognizable as the user shell prompt. Fri Jan 9 10:07:26 CET 2009 [email protected] * resolve issue1270: don't show the motd when --xml-output is given Sun Jan 11 16:19:41 CET 2009 Dave Love <[email protected]> * Get setpref description in manual. Thu Jan 8 17:00:35 CET 2009 Florent Becker <[email protected]> * Haddock for Darcs.Repository.Format Wed Dec 31 09:09:29 CET 2008 Eric Kow <[email protected]> * Remove stale comment (we now require GHC 6.6) Sat Jan 3 10:53:47 CET 2009 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Resolve issue1285: remove "cabal test" intermediaries. Sun Dec 28 12:44:34 CET 2008 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Use imperative mood for primitive matcher help. Sat Dec 27 21:42:18 CET 2008 Eric Kow <[email protected]> * Fix haddock error Sat Dec 27 15:18:45 CET 2008 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Rewrite primitive matcher examples. Sat Dec 27 15:18:19 CET 2008 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Rewrite "darcs help --match" output. Add an introductory paragraph, and put all the examples into a single code block, since one-line paragraphs are kind hard to read. Sat Dec 27 04:41:29 CET 2008 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Delete superfluous "Introduction" headings. I don't think it's useful to grant a subsection heading to the single introductory paragraph of a section. Sun Nov 9 15:40:07 CET 2008 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Refactor error text for readability. Sat Dec 27 02:10:31 CET 2008 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Tweak user manual's title page. It annoyed me that the user manual was just called "Darcs", not "Darcs User Manual". Sun Dec 14 05:19:02 CET 2008 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Haddockize developer comment. Sun Dec 21 09:09:49 CET 2008 Trent W. Buck <[email protected]> * Tweak punctuation in "darcs help --match". Manpages treat apostrophes in the first line specially. Use `TeX style' quotes instead, so this string can be included in the manpage. Also omit mention of &&, || and ! until I find time to clarify that they are aliases for the human-readable and, or and not. Wed Jan 14 12:06:07 CET 2009 Christian Kellermann <[email protected]> * omit empty line at the end of output in darcs diff Thu Jan 15 16:09:16 CET 2009 Petr Rockai <[email protected]> tagged 2.2.0 -- Peter Rockai | me()mornfall!net | prockai()redhat!com http://blog.mornfall.net | http://web.mornfall.net "In My Egotistical Opinion, most people's C programs should be indented six feet downward and covered with dirt." -- Blair P.
