The darcs team would like to announce the immediate availability of darcs 2.5 beta 5 (also known as darcs 2.4.98.5 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
Changes since the last beta release are:
* document that GHC 6.10 is required to build darcs 2.5
* the --index flag is now disabled for amend-record because it was broken
* clean up documentation for trackdown
* no longer require a specific version of the hashed-storage package
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-2.4.98.5.tar.gz and build it by hand as
explained in the README file.
Kind Regards,
the darcs release manager,
Reinier Lamers
