Hi darcs users and developpers, I'm glad to announce that darcs 2.8 beta 1 has been uploaded to hackage, which means you can install it by doing: cabal install darcs-beta. The source tarball is also available at http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/darcs-beta/2.7.98.1/darcs-beta-2.7.98.1.tar.gz. See the bottom of the message for what's new in 2.8. Please test this, and report any issues to bugs.darcs.net.
Enjoy your new darcs (and your day too) Florent > What's in 2.8 > ============= > > Since darcs 2.5 has been tagged, there have been 826 patches applied to > darcs.
