I'm pleased to announce the release of GNU CSSC, version 1.4.1. This is a stable release. The previous stable release was 1.4.0.
Stable releases of CSSC are available from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cssc/. Development releases and release candidates are available from https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/cssc/. CSSC ("Compatibly Stupid Source Control") is the GNU project's replacement for the traditional Unix SCCS suite. It aims for full compatibility, including precise nuances of behaviour, support for all command-line options, and in most cases bug-for-bug compatibility. CSSC comes with an extensive automated test suite. If you are currently using SCCS to do version control of software, you should be able to just drop in CSSC, even for example if you have a large number of shell scripts which are layered on top of SCCS and depend on it. This should allow you to develop on and for the GNU/Linux platform if your source code exists only in an SCCS repository. CSSC also allows you to migrate to a more modern version control system (such as git). There is a mailing list for users of the CSSC suite. To join it, please send email to <cssc-users-requ...@gnu.org> or visit the URL http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/cssc-users. There is also a mailing list for (usually automated) mails about bugs and changes to CSSC. This is http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cssc. For more information about CSSC, please see http://www.gnu.org/software/cssc/.

Changes since the previous release stable are: New in CSSC-1.4.1, 2019-05-07 * This release - and future releases - of CSSC must be compiled with a C++ compiler that supports the 2011 C++ standard. * When the history file is updated (with admin or delta for example) the history file is not made executable simply because the 'x' flag is set. Instead, preserve the executable-ness from the history file we are replacing. * This release is based on updated versions of gnulib and of the googletest unit test framework. Checksums for the release file are: $ for sum in sha1sum md5sum ; do $sum CSSC-1.4.1.tar.gz; done bfb99cbd6255c7035e99455de7241d4753746fe1 CSSC-1.4.1.tar.gz c9aaae7602e39b7a5d438b0cc48fcaa3 CSSC-1.4.1.tar.gz Please report any bugs via this software to the CSSC bug reporting page, http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=cssc -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
