Hi all, The darcs team would like to announce the immediate availability of darcs 2.5 beta 3 (also known as darcs 2.4.98.3 due to Cabal restrictions). Important changes since darcs 2.4.4 are:
* trackdown can now do binary search with the --bisect option
* darcs always stores patch metadata encoded with UTF-8
* diff now supports the --index option
* amend-record now supports the --ask-deps option
* apply now supports the --match option
* amend-record has a new --keep-date option
* inventory-changing commands (like record and pull) now operate in
constant time with respect to the number of patches in the repository
* the push, pull, send and fetch commands no longer set the default
repository by default
* the --edit-description option is now on by default for the send command
You may notice that a line "obliterate has a -o flag to save obliterated
patch" was removed from this list of changes since the darcs 2.5 beta 2
announcement. We have postponed this feature because we discovered some
problems with it, and we want to take the time to fix them adequately. On the
other hand, a line "diff now supports the --index option" was added since the
last beta :)
If you have installed the Haskell Platform or cabal-install, you can install
this beta release by doing:
$ cabal update
$ cabal install darcs-beta
Alternatively, you can download the tarball from
http://darcs.net/releases/darcs-2.4.98.3.tar.gz and build it by hand as
explained in the README file. (You may notice that the Unix permissions in
this tarball are weird - all files are 0600. That is because of Cabal bug
#627: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/627. It will be fixed in
the final release.)
Kind Regards,
the darcs release manager,
Reinier Lamers
