OPENGROK 0.8 RELEASE NOTES
OpenGrok is a wicked fast source code browser.
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/opengrok/
OpenGrok is a fast and usable source code search and cross reference
engine. It helps you search, cross-reference and navigate your source
tree. It can understand various program file formats (c, c++, c#, java,
sh, ...) and version control histories like (Mercurial, Git, SCCS, RCS,
CVS, Subversion, Teamware, ClearCase, Perforce, Monotone and Bazaar.) In
other words it lets you grok (profoundly understand) the open source,
hence the name OpenGrok. It is written in Java.
Since OpenGrok 0.7 was released October 17, 2008 a lot of features and
fixes has been incorporated into OpenGrok in almost 300 commits for the
