Log message:
Update to 1.0; oked by wiz@:
Changes
- The database scheme was changed; please execute 'mtn db migrate'
on all your local and remote databases.
- In 'mtn conflicts resolve_first interactive', the result
file name now defaults to _MTN/resolutions/<left_path>.
(fixes monotone issue 103)
- The French monotone translation has been updated and is
now part of the main distribution again. Many thanks to
Steve Petruzzello <dlist@bluewin.ch> for the outstanding
work!
- get_netsync_(read|write)_permitted have been extended to not
only read the files read-permissions and write-permissions,
but also the files in the subdirectories read-permissions.d
and write-permissions.d.
- monotone now also tracks the workspaces of databases which
do not reside in a "managed" location.
- automate now resets the locale to "POSIX" internally. This
means that all scripts can expect the same untranslated
messages from mtn automate, regardless of the locale of the
calling process.
- The hook 'get_netsync_key' has been split up into two separate
hooks, one for client usage ('get_netsync_client_key', with
the same arguments as the original 'get_netsync_key') and one
for server usage ('get_netsync_server_key', with a single table
argument containing all the given '--bind' options). Please
review your custom hooks accordingly.
- Short options ('-b', '-d', ...) are no longer completed. This
fixes an invariant failure originating from wrong option usage.
(closes monotone issue 141)
New Features
- 'mtn conflicts store' now outputs a count of the conflicts,
and the name of the conflicts file.
(fixes monotone issue 108)
- New 'mtn list workspaces' command which outputs all the
known workspaces for a specific database.
(closes monotone issue 129)
Bugs fixed
- The internal line merger will actually preserve your line
endings now, instead of changing everything to "\n".
- Improved the help and fixed the argument indexing in
'conflicts resolve_first' (fixes monotone issue 101)
- A regression from 0.48 prevented monotone from ordering the
diff output of individual files alphabetically.
(fixes monotone issue 102)
- 'mtn privkey' did not recognize private keys solely available
in the key store. This has been fixed.
- Added compatibility with Botan 1.9.9 and newer.
(fixes monotone issue 104)
- 'mtn pull' and 'mtn sync' would always say that your workspace
has not been updated. Now, it only does that when you used
the '--update' option and there were no updates.
(fixes monotone issue 106)
- 'mtn automate remote' and 'mtn automate remote_stdio' now use
a given database given by an alias to read, store and validate
a remote server's key fingerprint (fixes monotone issue 95)
- monotone gives a proper error message now if a netsync URI
with the 'mtn' scheme misses the required host part
(fixes monotone issue 110)
- Whenever a binary file was removed and one would try to get
a diff using mtn diff, it would report that "/dev/null is
binary". This has been changed to it reports the actual
name of the removed file instead.
(fixes monotone issue 111)
- monotone no longer wrongly falls back on a :memory: database
when no database option is given. It also prints out an
informational message for commands like 'setup' and 'clone'
that fall back on the configured default database, again,
if no database is specified for these commands.
(fixes monotone issue 113)
- If 'mtn serve' is called with one or more '--bind' options,
then the arguments to these options can now be specified
again as follows:
'<ip-or-host>'
to listen to IP or host on the default port
'<ip-or-host>:<port>'
to listen to IP or host on the specified port - or
':<port>'
to listen on all interfaces on the specified port
(fixes monotone issue 119)
- monotone no longer enforces ".mtn" as file extension for
managed databases. A new Lua hook, get_default_database_glob(),
is used instead to determine a pattern which matches
accepted database filenames and this pattern by default
accept files ending with both, ".mtn" and ".db".
(fixes monotone issue 128)
- monotone now gives a proper error message when an incomplete
or partial identifier contains non-hex digits.
(fixes monotone issue 143)
- Performance of "mtn ls changed" has been improved and is now
comparable to "mtn status". (fixes monotone issue 120)
Internal
- The source tree has been reorganized. Sources, tests and
documentation now reside in specific directories and many
smaller improvements in terms of source code cleanup,
developer documentation and general build infrastructure
accompany this big change.
Other
- Added a new directory extra/, which contains monotone hooks and
related scripts that have been shown to work. Most of these get
installed, usually somewhere under $(prefix)/share/monotone.
Please read extra/README for further information.
- Added the mtn-cleanup Perl script that returns a workspace to its
pristine state with the minimum amount of change. This script is
in the extra/bin directory.

Log message:
Update monotone{,-el,-server} to 0.99.1:
Bugs fixed
- monotone crashed on x86_64 when a netsync action required
the parsing of an URL. This has been fixed.
(closes monotone issue 100)
- monotone's automation interface version was reported wrongly
as 12.1, where it should have been 13.0.

Log message:
Update to 0.99:
Changes
- The database scheme was changed; please execute 'mtn db migrate'
on all your local and remote databases.
- Normal and automate sync, push, and pull now take a
--dry-run option; no data is transferred, but the connection
is made and a summary of what would be transferred is
output.
- The changelog editor format was simplified; user entered text
is back at the top of file and the instructions have been reduced.
The edited text is saved now even if a commit is canceled.
- Selectors are much more powerful now and selector functions to
calculate common sets of revisions have been introduced.
The characters '(', ')', and ';' need to be quoted if mean literally
(just like '/') because of this. See section 3.2 in the documentation
for details.
(fixes monotone bug #18302).
- The SERVER [BRANCH] call syntax for network-related commands
has been deprecated in favour of the existing, universal
URI syntax. Additionally, file:// and ssh:// URIs are now
parsed for include and exclude patterns just as the native
mtn:// URIs.
The possibility to specify include patterns by using
'include=' and exclude patterns by using 'exclude='
in the query string has been removed. Patterns are separated
by ';' and will be treated as include patterns unless prefixed
with '-'. Where you could previously specify
'mtn://host/?include=foo,exclude=bar', you would now give
'mtn://host/?foo;-bar' instead.
The URI parser was made a bit more standards compliant and
treats the scheme and host in a case insensitive manner.
The path and query parts are now automatically URL-decoded.
We deviate from RFC 3986 however by recognizing the authority
part in scheme-less URLs, where the standard would force us
to recognize a path instead. For example, for the URL
'code.monotone.ca/monotone'
we'd normally parse 'code.monotone.ca/monotone' as path, but our
implementation parses 'code.monotone.ca' as authority and
'/monotone' as path, so you are not forced to type 'mtn://' on
command line, just as you are not forced to type 'http://' in
your browser. Monotone's native scheme / protocol 'mtn' is by
the way set as default in cases like this.
The format for the server part of the 'default-server',
'known-server', 'server-include' and 'server-exclude'
database variables has been changed and now always includes
the complete (normalized) URI resource, consisting of the
used protocol, user, host, port and path parts. Older entries
in existing databases which do not match the new format are
preserved and not changed by monotone.
Please check the manual section 5.3 for more details on the
URI syntax.
- Naturally, the 'clone' command now also accepts mtn:// URIs,
though the use of branch globs is forbidden unless a branch is
specified separately with the new --branch option.
To avoid confusion with an existing workspace, clone no longer
looks for and loads the options of such a workspace, therefor
it now also falls back to the configured default database and
no longer to the database used in the workspace if no explicit
database is given.
- Server defaults for netsync operations are now only saved if
the exchange was successful. The progress messages which have
been issued for this previously have been removed, since they
would come up now unexpectedly and would clutter the output of
commands such as 'clone', 'automate remote' and
'automate remote_stdio'.
- The following characters have been deprecated in branch names
?,;*%+{}[]!^
as they denote either meta characters in monotone's URI syntax
or are used in globs to resolve branch patterns.
Furthermore, branch names should no longer start with a dash
(-), since this character is used to denote an exclude pattern
in the aforementioned URI syntax.
monotone warns on the creation of branches which violate these
restrictions and gives further directions.
- The 'cert' command can now operate on multiple revisions at once.
- The command 'db kill_rev_locally' has been renamed to
'local kill_revision', and 'db kill_tag_locally' and
'db kill_branch_certs_locally' have been replaced with a more
flexible command 'local kill_certs'.
- The 'import' command now keeps the created bookkeeping root if
--dry-run is not specified. This makes it possible to re-use
the import directory as workspace and is also more closely
to what our documentation states, when it says that import
is basically "setup with a twist".
- On Win32 native, the option '--no-format-dates' which disables
the localized date format, is now the default for 'commit', since
dates are not parseable on Win32 native.
- The automate commands sync, push, and pull now output information
about each transferred revision, cert and key, in basic_io format.
- monotone no longer passes syntactically correct, but non-existent
revision ids through the selector machinery. The most visible
place for this change is 'automate select', which no longer
echoes every possible 40 hex-byte string.
- The 'automate genkey' command has been renamed to
'automate generate_key'
New features
- Options can now be overridden; you can specify '--no-unknown
--unknown' on the command line and effectively get back the original
state in the application. Similarly, you can specify '--no-unknown'
in the 'get_default_command_options' hook and then override that
with '--unknown' on the command line.
- New global options:
--no-ignore-suspend-certs undo previous --ignore-suspend-certs
--use-default-key undo previous --key
--allow-default-confdir undo previous --no-default-confdir
--allow-workspace undo previous --no-workspace
--interactive undo previous --non-interactive
--no-standard-rcfiles replaces --norc
--standard-rcfiles undo previous --no-standard-rcfiles
--no-builtin-rcfile replaces --nostd
--builtin-rcfile undo previous --no-builtin-rcfile
--clear-rcfiles undo previous --rcfile
--verbose [-v] increase verbosity (opposite of --quiet)
- Global options now hidden:
--roster-cache-performance-log
- New command options:

--no-recursive undo previous --recursive
--respect-ignore undo previous --no-respect-ignore
--no-unknown undo previous --unknown
bisect *, checkout, pivot_root, pluck, update, automate update
--no-move-conflicting-paths undo previous --move-conflicting-paths

- Command options now hidden:
(several commands) --no-prefix
serve --stdio --no-transport-auth
(all netsync/remote commands) --min-netsync-version --max-netsync-version
- Deprecated options:
--norc use --no-standard-rcfiles
--nostd use --no-builtin-rcfile
--reallyquiet use --quiet --quiet
--debug use --verbose
- To aid command line typing, partial option names are tried to
be expanded; if the expansion leads to multiple possibilities,
all matches and an accompanying short description of the
particular expansion are displayed.
Two types of expansions are available: simple prefix matching
and word abbreviation matching. Single-word options like '--update'
are easier to expand from prefixes, as they're unique after a few
characters, in this example '--up' already matches.
Multi-word options like for example '--ignore-suspend-certs' might
collide however with single-worded ones and are best expanded from
abbreviations, in this case '--isc'.
- The 'disapprove' command now accepts a revision range in
addition to a single revision.
- A new 'manpage' command has been added which dumps the monotone
command help including all global and command specific options in
standard troff format. If this command is used interactively, its
output is automatically processed through nroff and less, in case
both are available on your system. If not, you can change the default
command by overwriting the 'get_man_page_formatter_command' hook.
The 'manpage' command is also used to create a static version of
mtn(1) which is now installed with the rest of monotone's docs.
- New 'k:' selector type to query revisions where at least one
certificate was signed with the given key.
- New automate command 'log' which behaves identical to the
normal 'log' command, except that it only outputs the
revision ids.
- New automate command 'checkout' which works just as its
non-automate counterpart.
- Monotone now tracks file size information (hence the previously
mentioned schema change).
File sizes are currently only queryable via the automation
interface, directly for specific files via 'get_file_size' or
as part of the extended manifest (see below), but these
information may become visible as part of the user UI later on
as well.
- New automate command 'get_extended_manifest_of', which prints
a beefed-up manifest format with file size and extensive marking
information. This can be used to easily determine when specific
nodes have been changed or moved at last.
- New automate commands 'put_public_key', 'get_public_key' and
'drop_public_key'. (closes monotone bug #30345)
Bugs fixed
- The 'mv' command now warns when a source is being renamed onto
itself or one of its children (fixes monotone bug #29484).
- The 'mv' command now also handles this usage properly, where
'foo' is a directory:
$ mv foo bar
$ mtn mv --bookkeep-only foo bar
- monotone no longer asks to pick a branch from a set of branches
of a revision in which all but one branch have been suspended
(fixes monotone bug #29843)
- The annotate command no longer fails if it should print out
empty or untrusted date cert values
(fixes monotone bug #30150)
- monotone now tries harder to find the cancel hint in a commit
message and only aborts if it can't find it anywhere
(fixes monotone bug #30215)
- The import command no longer warns about not being able
to write out _MTN/options on --dry-run
(fixes monotone bug #30225)
- 'automate remote' and 'automate remote_stdio' can now be used
without transport authentication (e.g. on file:// or ssh://
transports) as well as anonymously over netsync
(fixes monotone bug #30237)
- monotone does no longer warn about missing implicit includes
when dealing with restricted file sets
(fixes monotone bug #30291)
- The 'passphrase' and 'dropkey' commands now handle private keys
in old-style key files (without the hash part in the file name)
properly.
monotone also makes it very sure now that the key file of a
private key which is about to be deleted really and only
contains the key which should be deleted and nothing else
(fixes monotone bug #30376)
- monotone no longer throws an unrecoverable error if a public or
private key is addressed with some non-existing key id
(fixes monotone bug #30462)
- A globish that contains a bracket pair with an empty sub-pattern
such as "{,.foo}", "{.foo,}" or even \
"{.foo,,.bar}" now correctly
expands the empty target, so e.g. the branch pattern
"net.venge.monotone{,.*}"
now matches "net.venge.monotone" and "net.venge.monotone.*"
as expected. (fixes monotone bug #30655)
- A regression in 0.48 made a path-restricted 'mtn log' show
revisions, in which not the picked path(s), but one of its parents
were changed. This has been fixed.
- 'mtn trusted' will no longer accept single bogus revision ids,
but instead validates if the given revision really exists in the
current database.
- 'mtn read' (and also 'mtn automate read_packets') now tests public
and private key data more thoroughly and aborts if it encounters
invalid data.
- 'mtn conflicts store' now gives a proper error message when
run outside a workspace (fixes monotone bug #30473)
- monotone did not properly parse URIs which missed a scheme or
which did not mark the start of the authority with a double slash.
This has been fixed.
(fixes monotone issue 94)

Log message: update to 0.48.1 changes: -fix crash on empty cmd line arguments which is considered a security problem because it can crash mtn server processes (SA41960) -minor fixes also add a patch from upstream to adapt to a behavior change in sqlite3-3.7.3 |
| 2010-06-16 16:47:27 by Julio M. Merino Vidal | Files touched by this commit (2) | |
Log message:
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/monotone-devel/2010-02/msg00043.html - Improve the compatibility with newer Botan versions. |

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.
