Update to 0.48:

Changes

- Much more information is now passed to the editor when composing a
  commit message for a new revision. The Author, Date, Branch and
  Changelog values may now all be changed directly in the editor
  allowing new branches to be created without using the --branch option.
  Changes to other lines of this information must not be made or the
  commit will abort.

- The edit_comment lua hook now only takes one argument which is the
  text to be passed to the editor to edit a commit. Existing hooks that
  override the default hook will need to be changed to work properly.

- The long date/time format used by 'status', 'commit' and 'log' must
  be sufficient to preserve a date through a formatting and parsing
  cycle. The 'status' command now checks for this and warns if the
  format is unsuitable and 'commit' will refuse to operate with an
  unsuitable format.

- The output of the 'status' and 'log' commands has changed to align
  with the new information displayed by 'commit' so that all three
  commands display revisions similarly.

- The 'setup' as well as the 'clone' command check if no managed default
  database exists and if no database is given either as command line
  or as workspace option and eventually create a new default database
  outside of the bookkeeping directory of the new workspace (see below
  for more information on the new management features).

- The output of monotone diff has changed to use /dev/null as the source
  for added files and as the target for deleted files. This is
  compatible with patch(1) and will cause it to add and delete files
  where appropriate. As part of this change diff will now include the
  removed contents of deleted files which were omitted in earlier
  versions of monotone.

- Monotone will only warn about bad certs if there are not also matching
  trusted certs. So if someone commits a bad branch cert, monotone will
  only warn about that bad cert until someone else approves that
  revision into the same branch (fixes monotone bug #8033).

- 'db check' now checks for errors in the branch heads cache,
  and 'db regenerate_caches' fixes them.

- The output of the Lua functions print() and io.write() is now
  redirected to the standard progress message stream of monotone.
  See chapter 6.3 in the documentation for details.

New features

- Monotone has now database management capabilities: If you place your
  databases in one or more specific locations (defaults to
  %APPDIR%/monotone/databases on Windows and $HOME/.monotone/databases
  on Linux, configurable by a hook), it is able to discover these
  databases and access them only by giving the (base) name of their
  filename, for example ":my-database.mtn".

  You can also directly create new databases in the first found default
  location by issuing 'mtn db init -d ":my-database.mtn".

  Some commands, like 'setup' and 'clone' automatically fall back to
  a default database (":default.mtn", also configurable by a hook) if
  no database option is explicitely given.

  Additionally, monotone remembers checked out workspaces for every
  managed database and displays these "known" registered paths together
  with other information in the new 'list databases' command
  (closes monotone bug #8916).

- A set of accompanying management commands - 'register_workspace',
  'unregister_workspace' and 'cleanup_workspace_list' - to handle moved
  or removed workspaces for managed databases have been added.

- Many commands that change the heads of a branch (approve, disapprove,
  pull, merge, etc) can now take an option "--update". If run from
  a workspace which is based on a head of the branch and has no local
  changes, this option makes these commands update that workspace to
  the new head. If you always want this behavior, you can define the
     get_default_command_options(cmd)
  hook in your monotonerc (fixes monotone bug #17878).

- New command 'undrop' which undoes a 'drop' done by mistake
  (fixes monotone bug #13604).

- New automation command 'update' which behaves identical to
  the normal 'update' command.

- 'ls tags' now outputs the branch name(s) a tagged revision is on.
  The revision id is shortened to the first ten characters to get some
  more space for this (fixes monotone bug #12773).

- Default include and exclude patterns are now remembered per server.
  This means that you can have for example one server that you sync
  everything to, and one that you only sync some branches to, and you
  don't have to worry about forgetting to give the include pattern and
  accidentally trying to sync everything to the second server.

- A new Lua extension function change_workspace(directory) has been
  added. This should be most useful for custom commands which need
  to work on multiple workspaces from the same monotone instance.

- There is also the new server_set_listening(bool) Lua extention
  function available since 0.47, which can be used to let a monotone
  server exit gracefully instead of having to be killed.

Bugs fixed

- A regression in 0.47 prevent successful execution of push / pull /
  sync over pipes (Debian bug 574512); this has been fixed.

- A bug in 0.46 and 0.47 could lead to pulls or possibly commits taking
  approximately forever, if any of the previous branch heads was not a
  "close" relation of the new head. This has been fixed.

- Several bugs related to restrictions not including the required parent
  directories of included files have been fixed. It is now possible to
  say 'mtn add a/b/c' followed by 'mtn commit a/b/c' and have the commit
  succeed. See the restrictions section in the manual for more details
  (fixes monotone bugs #15994, #17499, #20447 and #22044).

- monotone no longer saves changed options from the command line back
  to _MTN/options in case the command execution was unsuccessful
  (fixes monotone bug #22928).

- When monotone reads packets from files, like f.e. keys in a directory
  given by the --keydir option, and these files are large and do
  not contain packet data at all, monotone no longer uses an excessive
  amount of time and memory to figure this out
  (fixes monotone bug #28799).

- The 'log' command no longer crashes if it is executed in a workspace
  whose parent revision(s) do not exist in the specified database
  (fixes monotone bug #29677).

- The 'clone' command no longer removes an existing bookkeeping
  directory if the target directory "." points to a workspace
  (fixes monotone bug #29927).

- The commands in monotone's help output are now sorted alphabetically.

- monotone on Windows will now have a non-zero exit code when
  interrupted (^C). This was broken in 0.47 when it was fixed to not
  throw an exception on being interrupted.

- In 0.46 and 0.47, monotone could sometimes get confused
  about which revisions were the heads of a particular branch.
  This would happen when a new branch cert was added to a
  revision that was an ancestor of one or more of the current
  heads of the branch, most commonly during netsync when
  multiple people had performed identical merges. This is
  fixed now. 'db check' will identify the problem; if your
  database currently gives incorrect 'heads' results, or 'mtn
  bug' on 'merge', you can fix it by running 'mtn db
  regenerate_caches'.

- In 0.46, spurious network disconnects could occur when transferring
  sufficiently large items (files, diffs, revisions). This was fixed
  in 0.47 but not noted in the release notes at that time
  (fixes monotone bug #28991).

Other

- Support for the diffuse merger (http://diffuse.sourceforge.net)
  has been added.

Log message:
Update monotone to 0.47:

Changes

- The default '<unknown>' author used by the git_export command has
  changed to 'Unknown <unknown>' and must be changed in existing author
  map files. The old '<unknown>' author will be rejected by the new
  validate_git_author lua hook.

- The 'git_export' command now validates all git author and committer
  values using a new 'validate_git_author' lua hook before they are
  written to the output stream. The export will fail if any value is
  rejected by this hook.

- The 'git_export' command now calls a new 'unmapped_git_author' lua
  hook for all git author values not found in the author map file. The
  default implementation of this hook attempts to produce valid git
  authors using several default pattern replacements.

- The 'get_date_format_spec' lua hook now has an additional parameter
  which hints at the wanted format (f.e. a short date or a long date
  time). The default implementation now returns '%x' for short and
  long dates, '%X' for short and long times (currently unused) and
  '%x %X' for short and long date times.

- The options '--date-format' and '--no-format-dates' are no longer
  specific to the 'log' command, but can now be used globally.

- monotone now prompts only three times for a key password.

New features

- Added portuguese translation (thanks to Américo Monteiro)

Bugs fixed

- 'passphrase' now allows an empty new password to be given
  (fixes monotone bug #28809)

- 'automate remote' and 'automate remote_stdio' no longer
  require an existing database (fixes monotone bug #28885)

- monotone no longer throws an exception on Windows if it is
  interrupted (^C); a couple of other bug have been fixed for this
  platform as well which generally improve the compatibility.

- The annotation of 'annotate' is now localized.

- The various occurrences where a revision is described by its
  certs now come with proper localized date output.

- Fix problems with newer Lua versions especially when
  LUA_COMPAT_VARARG not set.

Other

- Roster handling has been sped up significantly, and roster cache
  performance has been fixed for the case of overly large rosters.
  This should be mostly noticable when digging through history
  (especially initial pulls, since those send so many revisions),
  and be more noticable for projects with larger trees.

  The most significant internal change from this is that rosters and
  marking_maps are now copy-on-write. A longer overview of the internal
  changes is at:
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/monot … 00043.html

- Improve the compatibility with newer Botan versions.

Log message:
Remove build fix that was required for 0.45.  Should have been removed
with the 0.46 update, but I didn't notice it.

Log message:
Update monotone to 0.46.  Tested under OS X 10.5 and NetBSD/macppc.

Sun Jan 17 21:40:35 UTC 2010

        0.46 release.

        Changes

        - "automate stdio" (and "automate remote_stdio", see \ 
below)
          use separate streams to encode out-of-band information like
          informational messages, warnings or tickers. A special
          "header" section has been added to the standard output to
          identify future stdio version changes. The error codes used
          in the output of both stdio and remote_stdio, have also
          slightly changed: errors which are the result of a wrong
          call (unknown command, invalid options, parsing errors, ...)
          are returned with code 1, while errors which happened while
          the actual command executed are returned with code 2. Error
          codes are no longer echoed with every packet, but only as
          the payload of the final 'l' ("last") packet.

          Please consult the manual section "mtn automate stdio" for a
          detailed description of the new format.

        - The 'heads' command should be significantly faster now (not
          that it was particularly slow before). This probably isn't
          terribly noticable unless you're in the habit of using "h:*"
          (heads of all branches) as a selector, it's primarily meant
          to enable future changes that will depend on fast 'heads'.

          The database schema has been changed, so you will need to
          run 'mtn db migrate' (preferably after making a backup copy
          of your db).

        - the 'status' command now includes the current (to be committed)
          revision number and will indicate when the branch option in
          _MTN/options has been changed and does not match one of the
          revision's parent branches.

        - Cert labels in the output of the 'log' command are now
          localized.

        New features

        - There's a new command "automate remote_stdio" that makes it
          possible to execute automate commands on a remote server
          (for example, to permit a single database to be used both
          for serving netsync connections and for running a viewmtn
          instance). This requires that the server be running monotone
          0.46 or later. Access control on the server uses a new lua
          hook "get_remote_automate_permitted(identity, command_line,
          options)".

        - There's also a new command "automate remote" that's very much
          the same, but executes only a single command and does not
          stdio-encode the output.

        - A new 'bisect' command has been added to allow searching for a
          specific revision within a range of revisions. This can be useful for
          locating the exact revision that broke something or removed a
          particular feature.

        - Three new commands - 'push', 'pull' and 'sync' - have been added
          to the automation interface. They work just as their non-automate
          counterparts.

        - The global option '--timestamps' has been added which prefixes
          the current local timestamp before diagnostic messages such as
          warnings, progress messages, errors and tickers.  For example,
          this option can be used to log the date and time when clients
          connect to a monotone server.

        Bugs fixed

        - A regression from 0.45's key migration prevented the proper
          output of the `committer` field in 'git_export'.

        - 'db info --full' no longer crashes when executed on a database
          with only one revision.

        - The mtn_automate Lua function which can be used for custom
          commands now properly handles binary data.

        - `db info` now returns a correct byte count for certs again.

        - If a public key was read in via the `read` or
          `automate read_packets`, an invariant was triggered if the
          key was already existing in the database. This has been fixed.

        - `annotate` no longer crashes if the annotated file is empty.

        Other

        - Added the script of the Lua-based contributed Monotone
          extension command "mtn remote_export" to contrib/command/
          with which a remote revision can be exported locally without
          having to fetch all of the history before.

Log message:
Update to 0.45.  Changes since 0.42 follow:

Fri Sep 11 20:50:00 UTC 2009

        0.45 release.

        Changes

        - Certs now link to the key that signed them by the key's
          hash, instead of its name.  This should provide some
          security and usability improvements.

          The database schema has been changed, so you will need to
          run 'mtn db migrate' (preferably after making a backup copy
          of your db).

          The netsync protocol version has also changed. However, we
          found space to implement full protocol version negotiation,
          so no flag day is needed.  If your particular project has a
          situation where there are multiple keys with the same name,
          you will receive errors when trying to sync certs signed by
          those keys to older netsync peers.

          A number of commands have slightly different output now,
          particularly 'ls certs', 'ls tags', 'automate keys',
          'automate tags' and 'automate certs'.  There is a new Lua
          hook associated with these changes,
          'get_local_key_name(identity)', and all Lua hooks that used
          to take a key name as an argument now instead take a table
          with several fields.

          Commands which previously accepted a key name now also
          accept the key's hash or local name, which is a local alias
          for equally named keys.  'read-permissions' and
          'write-permissions' accept either the key name or the hash.

          There is also a new 'db fix_certs' command which fixes wrong
          key assignments in migrated databases if you have the correct
          key available.

        - The 'resolved_user' conflict resolution is no longer
          reported by 'automate show_conflicts' for file content
          conflicts; 'resolved_user_left' is used instead.

        - 'format_version' was removed from 'automate tags' and
          'automate get_attributes' which both do not need this
          additional versioning information.

        New features

        - The 'log' command now, by default, converts all dates it
          prints to your timezone instead of leaving them in UTC, and
          uses a somewhat more friendly format for the dates.

          You can customize the date format with the new
          "get_date_format_spec" Lua hook, which returns a strftime(3)
          format string.  You can also override the format for one
          command with the new --date-format option, disable date
          conversion for one command with --no-format-dates, or
          disable it by default by having the above Lua hook return an
          empty string.

        - The 'diff' and 'automate content_diff' commands take a
          '--reverse' option when one revision is specified, to
          control the order of the diff with the workspace.

        - The 'update', 'checkout', 'pluck', and 'pivot_root' commands
          take an option '--move-conflicting-paths', to handle
          unversioned files that are blocking the action. The
          unversioned files are moved to
          _MTN/resolutions/<workspace_path>, so the action can
          succeed, and the user can recover the files if necessary.

        - Resolution of orphaned file conflicts is now supported by
          'merge --resolve-conflicts' and the 'conflicts' commands.

        - Duplicate name conflicts now support the 'keep' resolution.

        - Monotone now accepts ':memory:' as argument to the --db option
          and sets up a memory-only SQLite database.

        - 'clone' allows cloning into the current directory when
          '.' is given as argument.

        Bugs fixed

        - Monotone now sanely skips paths with invalid characters
          it encounters during 'add' or 'automate inventory'.

        - Key names, cert names, and var domains with non-ASCII
          characters should work properly now.  Previously, they would
          be (usually) converted to punycode on input, and not decoded
          on output. They will now not be converted to punycode at
          all.

        - The 'conflict' commands can now handle duplicate name
          conflicts for directories.

        - 'cvs_import' now properly parses CVS timestamps (again).

        - Windows' cmd.exe is recognized as smart terminal and thus
          monotone should create more readable output in
          netsync operations.

Tue May 12 20:44:00 UTC 2009

        0.44 release.

        Changes

        - Private keys no longer have a separate hash from the associated
          public key. This changes the hashes output by 'ls keys', and also
          changes the format of 'automate keys' and 'automate genkey'.

        New features

        - New 'w:' selector type for selecting the revision the workspace
          is based on.

        Bugs fixed

        - C++ exceptions in Lua extension functions are now converted into
          Lua errors catchable with pcall, instead of causing a crash.

        - In 0.43 revert became excessively noisy and would report changes to
          all attributes on included files and directories regardless of whether
          the attributes had been changed or not. This has been silenced.
          Monotone will now specifically report changes to execute permissions
          only when they occur.

        - In 0.43 monotone would lose execute permissions on all files modified
          during an update operation. Execute permissions are now reset on
          updated files that have the mtn:execute attribute set to true.

        - Invalid revision selectors now cause an immediate error instead of
          being dropped from the selection.  The old behavior could produce
          undesired effects from typoed commands, such as spewing a list of
          all revisions in the database.

        - If "automate stdio" is in use, invalid selectors are reported via
          the automate protocol rather than on stderr.

        - "Best-effort" character set conversions now work again; 'mtn log'
          will not crash just because there is a change log entry with a
          character not representable in your locale.  However, if your system
          iconv(3) implementation does not support the //TRANSLIT extension,
          you may see garbage characters in the above scenario.

        Internal

        - Various small code changes to make monotone compile under (Open)
          Solaris using Sun Studio, and under Windows with Visual C++.

        - monotone.spec has been removed from the distribution.

Sun Mar 22 22:26:00 UTC 2009

        0.43 release.

        Changes

        - The Monotone source distribution no longer includes copies of
          several third-party libraries.  This means they must be downloaded
          and built separately, before building monotone.  See INSTALL for a
          complete list of necessary libraries.

          This allows monotone's developers to concentrate on monotone
          itself, rather than tracking external library updates, which in
          practice did not happen.  By way of illustration, we were still
          shipping sqlite 3.4.1, which is years out of date.  This has also
          been a long-standing request of various redistributors of binary
          packages, who prefer the use of globally shared libraries.

        - There is a new db var "database delta-direction", which can have
          values "reverse" (default), "forward", and \ 
"both". This controls
          what kind of deltas are stored for new file versions. Forward
          deltas are very fast for netsync, but slow for most other uses.
          Set this to "both" (or perhaps "forward" if you're \ 
very short on
          disk space) on an empty db and pull everything into it, to get a
          database which will be much faster for server usage (especially
          initial pulls).

        - 'mtn help <command_or_group>' or 'mtn <command_or_group> \ 
--help' no
          longer print global options, thus making the output of specific help
          requests more compact. You still see all available global options
          by executing 'mtn help' without any arguments.

        - 'mtn automate get_current_revision' now returns an empty changeset
          instead of an error if a workspace contains no changes.

        New features

        - A monotone database may be exported in the git fast-import format
          using the git_export command. The output from this command may be
          piped into git fast-import or other tools supporting this format.

        - Additional 'u:' and 'm:' selector types for selecting the revision the
          workspace was last updated from and revisions matching specified
          message globs in changelog and comment certs.

        - Additional '--revision' option for 'mtn log' allows logging of
          selected sets of revisions.

        - Additional '--full' option for 'mtn db info' to display some
          statistic analysis of the date certs in the database.

        - Command line options in the EDITOR and/or VISUAL environment
          variables are honored; for instance, EDITOR="emacs -nw"
          works now.  (Debian bug #320565.)

        - The `mtn_automate' lua function now correctly parses and sets
          options for executed automate commands.

        - The 'commit' command accepts a non-empty _MTN/log as the log
          message when '--message-file=_MTN/log' is given.

        Bugs fixed

        - Performance of the log command has been improved significantly.
          Previous versions of monotone loaded individual certs by name for each
          printed revision and this caused sqlite to not use the correct
          index. Now, all certs are loaded for each printed revision once and
          individual certs are selected from the full list which allows sqlite
          to use the preferred index.

        - In 0.42, a netsync writer would attempt to queue up all outgoing
          data as soon as it knew what data to send, in a single operation,
          without servicing the event loop. If there was a large amount of
          data to send, this would cause very long pauses and sometimes
          timeouts and dropped connections (for pauses over 10 minutes).
          The bug that caused this is fixed, and that operation now has a
          safety timer that should prevent it from coming back.

        - When the netsync server receives garbage over the network, it
          should be much better about only terminating the offending connection
          instead of the entire server.

        - The log command was missing '--depth' and '--exclude' options used to
          restrict revisions printed to those touching specific paths. Log now
          allows these options and uses them properly.

        - The update command previously did not clear execute permissions from
          files that had their associated 'mtn:execute' attribute cleared.

        - Several minor problems with workspace attributes have been fixed.
          Earlier versions of monotone would reset attributes such as
          mtn:execute on all files when any workspace modifying command was
          executed. Applying attribute changes to workspace files is now done
          much more selectively in the same manner that content and name changes
          are applied.

        - In certain cases, especially also on FreeBSD and Mac OS X, netsync
          called select() even after read() returned 0 bytes to indicate the
          end of the file, resulting in a confusing error message. This
          is fixed by treating EOF specially and prevent further calls
          to select() on the file handle, as recommended by the
          select_tut man page.

        - If given a filename, `mtn ssh_agent_export' now creates that
          file with the correct permissions (i.e. mode 600), creates
          directories as necessary, and does not throw an internal
          error if creation or writing fails.  (You're still on your
          own for directory creation and permissions if you take the
          key on standard output and redirect it to a file.)

        - The `p:' selector now accepts single character revision ids.

        - `mtn merge_into_workspace' no longer crashes if one tries to merge
          in an ancestor or descendant of a workspace, but gives a helpful
          error message.

        - Several bugfixes to `mtn automate stdio':

          * It now correctly distinguishs between syntax and command errors by
            returning error code 1 for the former and error code 2 for the
            latter - just as advertised in the documentation.

          * The stdio event loop no longer quits if a syntax error occurs, but
            rather discards the wrong state and accepts new (valid) commands.

          * Option errors haven't been catched properly and thus weren't encoded
            in stdio either; this has been fixed as well.

          * Global options, which were set or changed by a previously executed
            command, weren't properly reset before the next command was issued.
            It was f.e. not possible to "unignore" suspended branches for
            the `branches' command when `--ignore-suspend-certs' was given in
            a previous run. Now only those global options persist between
            executed commands which were given to stdio directly.

        Internal

        - Using 64 bit integer values to represent dates internally. This
          has no user visible effect.

        - The unit test code has been separated from the main source, thus
          building the tests no longer requires a full recompilation. Also,
          the number of modules which are linked into unit tester has
          decreased tremendously.

        - A couple of debug commands have been added to the `database'
          command group to aid performance timing. See `mtn help --hidden db'
          for a list of available commands.

        - Our internal error handling has been overhauled. N() is gone, and E()
          takes three arguments instead of 2: E(bool, origin::type, i18n_format).
          origin::type is an enum describing the source of the error, eg network,
          user, internal. Data types can publically inherit origin_aware (as the
          vocab types do) to obtain a public origin::type member named
          'made_from'; this can then be supplied to E() when sanity-checking
          that data. origin_aware and origin::type are in origin_type.hh.
          I() will throw a unrecoverable_failure, and E() will throw either a
          unrecoverable_failure or a recoverable_failure depending on the
          origin::type provided. informative_failure is gone.

Log message:
Remove @dirrm entries from PLISTs

Log message:
Do *not* preserve file mode bits. The tarballs have 0777 permissions for
the directories and all implementations of tar but pax-as-tar honour
those when running as root.

Log message:
Update to 0.42:

Changes

- The output of 'automate show_conflicts' has been changed; a
  default resolution for file content conflicts and user resolutions
  for other conflict types has been added. 'directory_loop_created'
  changed to 'directory_loop'.

- The French, Brazilian-Portuguese and Japanese translations were
  outdated and thus have been removed from the distribution. In case
  you care about them and want them back, drop us a note at
  monotone-devel@nongnu.org.

Bugs fixed

- 'mtn db kill_rev_locally' did not update the inodeprint
  cache when executed from a workspace on which the
  revision's changes where applied.

- Some recent performance issues have been corrected:
  * since 0.40, there is much more use of hex encoding/decoding.
    These functions have been sped up considerably.
  * since 0.40, every command in an 'automate stdio' session
    would reinitialize the database. This was rather slow, so
    monotone will now keep the database open between commands.

- The Lua-based contributed Monotone extension introduced in
  0.38 haven't been added to the tarball; this has been fixed.

- Monotone died if _MTN/options contained an empty / not-existing
  'keydir' entry. This has been fixed. Also, invalid options are now
  better detected and give a more useful error message.

- Monotone crashed if it was called with more than 2048 command
  line arguments. This has been fixed.

- If vim is used as merger, it no longer prompts the user for an
  enter key press.

- Decoding errors f.e. through to garbage from the network no longer
  results in informative failures, but in warning. This was made
  possible by introducing the concept of origin-aware sanity checks.

- Monotone crashed if it was called with nested wildcards such as
  'a.{i.{x,y},j}'. This has been fixed.

- The standard implementation of the 'ignore_file' hook now accepts
  windows and unix line endings in .mtn-ignore files.

New features

- New 'mtn ls duplicates' command which lets you list
  duplicated files in a given revision or the workspace.

- New option --no-workspace, to make monotone ignore any
  workspace it might have been run in.

- New command group 'mtn conflicts *'; provides asynchronous
  conflict resolutions for merge and propagate.

- New 'automate file_merge' command which runs the internal line
  merger on two files from two revisions and outputs the result.

- New 'automate lua' command with which lua functions, like
  monotone hooks, can be called over automate. This is particularily
  useful to get user defaults, like ignorable files, branch keys and
  passwords, which are managed through one or more monotonerc files.

- New 'automate read_packets' command which reads data packets like
  public keys similar to 'mtn read'.

- 'merge' and 'propagate' accept user commit messages; the
  'merge rev rev' or 'propagate branch branch' message will be
  prefixed to the user message. --no-prefix removes the prefix.

Internal

- Update Botan to 1.7.12.
