Hi all, we've been using Fossil 1.24 as storage system for generated files in our environment for quite some time now.
Recently, we decided to update from 1.24 to 1.27. When deciding whether to do the update or not, I read through all the ChangeLogs on the website and I made sure that all commands and their options that we use in our scripts stayed the same. But just today I noticed a major problem: The output format of "fossil annotate" changed considerably and without any documentation notes (at least I found none): Previously, with fossil 1.24, the third column of the "annotate" output was the author who did the most recent change to the line. Now, with fossil 1.27, it's just the line number being displayed. First of all, this information is almost useless because it can be calculated by counting the lines. But more severely, the information who changed the line is now not present anymore at all. So: 1) Please re-introduce the possibility to query the author of the lines in "annotate" output. 2) Indicate which release versions were affected by this incompatible change so that our scripts can query the version number of the fossil binary and refuse to work with the "affected" ones. Until then, we'll have to move back to 1.24 ... in the hope that this downgrade is possible without a problem.
