Hi, yesterday night, I have created a release branch for the 2.3 release of darcs, which marks the start of its release cycle. In 2 days from now, I will create first beta tarballs of darcs 2.3 -- darcs 2.2.98.1. These will only come with the cabal build system. I am also inclined to uploading those to hackage as "darcs-beta" for easy installation. (And I'll also ask for removal of obsolete darcs-cabalised, to avoid proliferation of darcs garbage on hackage.)
Unfortunately, zlib 0.6.0.0 has still not released, so first darcs beta will be without the gzip crc fixes. The alternative plan is that as soon as zlib 0.6.0.0 hits hackage, we'll make another beta off the release branch, including Ganesh's changes (regardless of the scheduled beta, which will, hopefully, wind as beta 3). I'll review and test what I can in the meantime. The release branch lives, traditionally, at http://repos.mornfall.net/darcs/branch-2.3/ -- please download and test as much as you can. Unfortunately, I am already using darcs-hs as my production darcs for testing purposes, so I myself cannot give much testing to 2.3. -- Petr Ročkai | http://web.mornfall.net A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms.
