I just uploaded some unofficial repositories in hg that have versions approximately 6.06-7.04. The hg bundles are called:
Unnofficial_JBookTrader_hg_repositiory_6.07_7.04.hg Unnofficial_JBookTrader_hg_repositiory_base_6.07.hg I had to bundle them in 2 sets to get passed the 10mb file size requirement. I made these because I have old projects that I need to track and update to 7.04 so I figured that mercurial was the best way to do that. I hope someone else can get some use from these. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is hg (Mercurial)? - Mercurial is a version control system, similiar to other systems such as CVS, SVN, and GIT. What is a version control system? - A version control system is a set of software tools used to keep track of changes to files. You start with a base set of code, in this case JBookTrader 6.06. As changes are made you periodically "commit" the changes to the "repository". Each time you commit, you create a new version, based upon the parent version. With this long history of versions you can go back and easily track exactly what code changed, down to the letter, with very simple visual tools that highlight differences. You can also do much more fancy things, like merge two "branches" of code together. Why would I use version control? - If you only make a couple changes to something, or none at all, you probably would not want to use version control. If you start making lots of changes, to the point where you can't easily keep track of them all, or would like to compare against your working base, then you would want version control. I personally am working on tons of different mods to JBT, lots of little experiments, so I need to keep track of them. Also, with Mercurial, if a new version of JBT comes out, I can easily merge together my changes with all the new changes in the new version. Very low fuss. How do you get and use Mercurial? - Mercurial is mostly tools to be used at the command line (a DOS box). However, there is a separate tool called TortoiseHg that integrates with the windows shell (hence "tortoise", "shell", get it?) that allows you to use almost all the functionality by right clicking on folders and files. I recommend grabbing TortoiseHg from http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/ which should install everything you need to get started. They also have a basic guide there. How do I load these files into HG? 1) Create a new folder, right click inside it 2) "Clone..." a repository - for the source you need to put the full file name and path of the first file "...base_6.07.hg" This will get you 6.06 and 6.07. 3) "Synchronize" - In the text box you need to put the path of the second file (or click Bundle: for a browse box) the second file is "...base_6.07.hg" 4) "HG Repository Explorer" - shows you the history, and the bold version probably is still 6.07. Click 7.04 and right click, select "Update..". This updates your working copy to the 7.04 version.
