Without much surprise, here comes darcs 1.0.6, very much
identical to 1.0.6rc1.
Important bugfixes:
* Fix bug in Get --tag that produced a corrupt repository (issue67, Edwin
Thomson).
* 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).
Noticeable changes:
* 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)
* Add newline between long comment and changed files list in dry-run summary
to remove ambiguity (Edwin Thomson).
* 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)
Bugfixes:
* Fix --set-scripts-executable to work also when getting a local repository.
(issue38, Eric Kow)
* Fix bug with non-existing directories. (David Roundy)
* Allow rename to different case (RT #466, Eric Kow).
* Bugfix for handling of absolute paths in Windows (issue47, Will Glozer)
* Bugfix for --sendmail-command in Windows (Esa Ilari Vuokko).
* Make apply --verify work with GnuPG in Windows (Esa Ilari Vuokko)
New features:
* Extended date matching functionality: ISO 8601 dates and intervals, a
larger subset of English like "yesterday at noon" (issue31/RT#34, Eric
Kow).
* 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)
* Support --interactive option in changes command (issue59, Zachary P.
Landau).
* 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).
Noticeable contributions:
* Ian Lynagh refactored the unix/window compatibility code.
* Peter Strand made several fixes to make darcs build on Windows.
* Bill Trost updated and improved the documentation.
* Jason Dagit removed several annoying errors from the test suite so it
runs smother.
* Zooko made fixes to and improved the cygwin-wrapper.
