Sun Apr 10 17:49:25 PDT 2005 0.18 release. performance improvements, features, and bug fixes. This release is dedicated to Shweta Narayan. - most operations sped up by a factor of 2 or better; many sped up by up several orders of magnitude. - special thanks to Matt Johnston , Derek Scherger , Linus Torvalds . - new concept: "database vars". Used in several features below. - new features: - new file "MT/log" can be edited while you work, sets default changelog. (no change in behaviour if you do not edit it.) Thanks to Jeremy Cowgar . - monotone now stores default netsync server/collection, initialized on first use of netsync. - you no longer need to manually import server keys, monotone will fetch the key from the server on first netsync. - monotone keeps track of keys of servers you have previously synced with, to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. - several powerful new "automate" commands added. - new command 'ls known', lists files that are under version control. Thanks to Florian Weimer . - preliminary "inodeprints" functionality -- speeds up diff, status, etc. No UI or documentation yet -- in a working copy, 'touch MT/inodeprints' to enable, then commit or update to populate cache. - UI improvements: - Added short options -r, -b, -k, -m. - default to 'dot' ticker-style when stderr is not a tty, thanks to Derek Scherger . - New "-@/--xargs" option, helpful when using new automate commands. Thanks to Richard Levitte . - New "--depth" argument to 'log'. Thanks to Richard Levitte . - 'db info' gives statistics on space usage. - new command 'dropkey'. Thanks to Jeremey Cowgar . - robustness improvement: if monotone crashes in a working directory and --dump and --debug were not specified, saves debug dump to "MT/debug" for analysis, instead of discarding. - new contributed scripts: CIA (cia.navi.cx) notification, email notification, Bash completion. - 33 new integration tests. total line coverage: ~82%. - many bug fixes - Special thanks to Matt Johnston , for going above and beyond to track down the last release blocker. - upgrading from 0.17 requires only a 'db migrate'. Fri Mar 18 15:38:52 PST 2005 0.17 release. bug fixes and features. - many, many robustness improvements - more careful checking everywhere - much more thorough test suite - all revisions subject to careful checks before entering database - not yet fully optimized; "pull" may be very slow and use lots of cpu - support for "epochs", to safely manage future rebuilds, hash migration, etc. - new "db check" command, thanks to Derek Scherger . - now uses sqlite3, thanks to Christof Petig . - removes most former size limitations - "restrictions" support, thanks to Derek Scherger . - most commands now take a list of files to limit their actions to - monotone can now be run from anywhere in the working directory (not just the root) - new command "monotone setup" required to create a working directory for a new project - important security fix -- don't use shell when calling external merge commands. - format change for "MT/options", ".mt-attrs"; you may have to edit these files - new command "attr" for managing .mt-attrs. - builds merkle tries in-memory -- netsync starts up many times faster - start of new "automate" interface, for shell scripts and others. - new command "cdiff": generates context diffs. - remove most of now-obsolete manifest/file cert support. - 60+ new integration tests. - many portability fixes - in particular, major win32 cleanups, thanks to Jon Bright . win32 is once again fully and natively supported. - many bug fixes - several incompatible changes: see file UPGRADE for migration information Thu Dec 30 01:37:54 EST 2004 0.16 release. bug fixes. - 50+ new integration tests - many NetBSD portability fixes - release build on gcc 3.4 / FC3 - masses of changeset bugs in 0.15 fixed - some bogus changesets were generated in the 0.16 development cycle. you will need to rebuild revision graph.

NOTE: this release expands the sqlite page size. YOU WILL NEED to dump existing databases before upgrading and reload it after upgrading, otherwise monotone will complain that the database image appears malformed. this condition cannot unfortunately be distinguished from a real malformed image on disk. for example: $ monotone --db=my.db db dump >dump.sql $ $ mv my.db my.db.backup $ monotone --db=my.db db load 8k Mon Mar 1 00:32:07 EST 2004 0.10 release. new "netsync" protocol implemented, allowing direct monotone-to-monotone database synchronization. random number underflow problem fixed. more tests added. database schema changed, must migrate schema. added new QA logic to update and merge algorithms (testresult / approval). Thu Jan 1 18:23:06 EST 2004 0.9 release. support international users (non-ASCII character sets, locales). some corrections to update algorithm. line merging algorithm reimplemented. support working copy MT/monotonerc file. broke format compatibility with MT/work files; commit any pending work before upgrading. permit spaces, colons, other "funny" characters in filenames. support HTTP 1.1, HTTP proxies, handle some corner cases in ancestry graph and database faults. Fri Nov 21 20:25:26 EST 2003 0.8 release. row size increased to 16mb. more performance improvements in cvs importer. cvs branch tags imported now. minor UI improvements. new commands: SQL dump and load, vcheck for enhanced collision detection, queue addtree for recursive queueing. improved networking scalability. historical rename certs and .mt-attrs file format changed to accomodate upcoming i18n work. Sun Nov 2 23:38:09 EST 2003 0.7 release. many critical merge and patch set calculation bugs fixed. groups merged with URLs, "monotone db migrate" necessary. directory renames and explicit rename certs supported. added SMTP support. incorporated adns library, avoiding gethostbyname(). new queue commands. Sat Oct 18 22:10:09 EDT 2003 0.6 release. more stability and bug fixing, including fix to some silent failures in LCA calculation. some minor new features: persistent attributes (eg. 'the execute bit'), rename and log commands. performance of cvs importer greatly improved, lua system upgraded to 5.0, much expanded documentation. Sat Sep 27 11:50:08 EDT 2003 0.5 release. stability and bug fixing. many UI issues addressed, including SHA1 completion, persistent options, new revert command and new diff modes. database migration, inspection and debugging interfaces added. LCS algorithm and line-merger overhauled. several multi-depot bugs fixed. existing depot databases should be migrated (depot.cgi migratedb). Thu Sep 4 15:40:07 EDT 2003 0.4 release. monotone is now self-hosting. database compatibility broken since 0.3. depot uses RSA signatures now, not mac keys. many bugs removed. depot database compatibility broken. database schemas should now remain stable (or be provided with safe schema-upgrading function).
