Hi all, The darcs team would like to announce the immediate availability of darcs 2.4.3. This release [1] fixes a number of issues that were found in darcs 2.4.1. We strongly recommend that everybody using Darcs 2.4.0 or 2.4.1 upgrade to this version. The two most important issues resolved were that Darcs would fail on Windows with an "mmap of _darcs/index", and that darcs get --partial would produce inconsistent repositories.
The easiest way to install darcs is using the Haskell Platform [2]. If you
have installed the Haskell Platform or cabal-install, you can install this
release by doing: ::
$ cabal update
$ cabal install darcs
Alternatively, you can download the tarball from
http://darcs.net/releases/darcs-2.4.3.tar.gz and build it by hand as
explained in the README file.
