GIT v1.5.4.5 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.4.4
--------------------
* "git fetch there" when the URL information came from the Cogito style
branches/there file did not update refs/heads/there (regression in
1.5.4).
* Bogus refspec configuration such as "remote.there.fetch = =" were not
detected as errors (regressionin 1.5.4).
* You couldn't specify a custom editor whose path contains a whitespace
via GIT_EDITOR (and core.editor).
* The subdirectory filter to "git filter-branch" mishandled a history
where the subdirectory becomes empty and then later becomes non-empty.
* "git shortlog" gave an empty line if the original commit message was
malformed (e.g. a botched import from foreign SCM). Now it finds the
first non-empty line and uses it for better information.
* When the user fails to give a revision parameter to "git svn", an error
from the Perl interpreter was issued because the script lacked proper
error checking.
* After "git rebase" stopped due to conflicts, if the user played with
"git reset" and friends, "git rebase --abort" failed to go back to the
correct commit.
* Additional work trees prepared with git-new-workdir (in contrib/) did
not share git-svn metadata directory .git/svn with the original.
* "git-merge-recursive" did not mark addition of the same path with
different filemodes correctly as a conflict.
* "gitweb" gave malformed URL when pathinfo stype paths are in use.
* "-n" stands for "--no-tags" again for "git fetch".
* "git format-patch" did not detect the need to add 8-bit MIME header
when the user used format.header configuration.
* "rev~" revision specifier used to mean "rev", which was inconsistent
with how "rev^" worked. Now "rev~" is the same as "rev~1" (hence it
also is the same as "rev^1"), and "rev~0" is the same as "rev^0"
(i.e. it has to be a commit).
* "git quiltimport" did not grok empty lines, lines in "file -pNNN"
format to specify the prefix levels and lines with trailing comments.
* "git rebase -m" triggered pre-commit verification, which made
"rebase --continue" impossible.
As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
Packages Collection.
Mocha is a Ruby library for mocking and stubbing using a syntax
like that of JMock, and SchMock. Most commonly Mocha is used in
conjunction with Test::Unit, but it can be used in other contexts.
One of its main advantages is that it allows you to mock and stub
methods on real (non-mock) classes and instances. You can for
example stub ActiveRecord instance methods like create, save,
destroy and even class methods like find to avoid hitting the
database in unit tests.
Mocha provides a unified, simple and readable syntax for both
traditional mocking and for mocking with real objects.

Pkgsrc changes:
- Provided HOMEPAGE.
- The package supports installation to DESTDIR.

* Scrape processor_ids, merging in with extant data.
* Default to "Other" if a file's type is unrecognized.
* Set mode on .rubyforge directory to 700.
* Fix fetching of user id when user has no releases.
ruby2ruby provides a means of generating pure ruby code easily from
ParseTree's Sexps. This makes making dynamic language processors much
easier in ruby than ever before.
The validatable library can be included with any Ruby class and provide
validations similar to ActiveRecord's. The library follows ActiveRecord's
lead for features that are similar and introduces new features.
RSpec is a Behaviour Driven Development framework for Ruby. It provides
two frameworks for writing and executing examples of how your Ruby
application should behave:
* a Story Framework for describing behaviour at the application level
* a Spec Framework for describing behaviour at the object level
+ Install as a Ruby gem.
* All IDs for DOT objects, including names, options, and values, are
now automatically quoted as necessary for graphviz. Labels are
handled specially in order to account for \l, \r, and \n sequences
but are otherwise treated the same as other options. Some changes
were made in order to remove explicit quotes from labels which are
no longer necessary.
* Removed backwards compatability method inject.
* DOTSimpleElement provides no useful function, so remove it
* Add support for the Mrecord shape to DOTNode. Rewrite DOTNode#to_s
to be easier to understand. #Rewrite DOTPort to allow for nesting
ports.
* DOTElement no longer sets the label unless the user explicitly sets
one.
* Subgraphs must be identified by a "subgraph" header rather than a
"graph" header
* Added equality test for graphs, added cycle locating. Modified
initialize to allow duplicating and merging of graphs.
* Assorted bug fixes.
Ruby-rcov is a code coverage tool for Ruby. It is commonly used for
viewing overall test unit coverage of target code. It features fast
execution (20-300 times faster than previous tools), multiple analysis
modes, XHTML and several kinds of text reports, easy automation with
Rake via a RcovTask, fairly accurate coverage information through code
linkage inference using simple heuristics, and colorblind-friendliness.
ParseTree is a C extension (using RubyInline) that extracts the parse
tree for an entire class or a specific method and returns it as a
s-expression (aka sexp) using ruby's arrays, strings, symbols, and
integers.
Needle is a Dependency Injection/Inversion of Control container for
Ruby. It supports both type-2 (setter) and type-3 (constructor)
injection. It takes advantage of the dynamic nature of Ruby to provide
a rich and flexible approach to injecting dependencies.
mkrf is a library for generating Rakefiles. It is primarily for
building C extensions for Ruby, but will be able to be used for generic
Rakefile generation as well. Main goals include simple use and reuse
in other projects.
MetAid adds a few innocent methods to Object and Module to make
metaprogramming easier. For the lore of metaprogramming see Seeing
Metaclasses Clearly and Chapter Six of Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby.
Logging is a flexible logging library for use in Ruby programs based
on the design of Java's log4j library. It features a hierarchical
logging system, custom level names, multiple output destinations per
log event, custom formatting, and more.
Log4r is a comprehensive and flexible logging library written in Ruby
for use in Ruby programs. It features a hierarchical logging system of
any number of levels, custom level names, logger inheritance, multiple
output destinations, execution tracing, custom formatting, thread
safteyness, XML and YAML configuration, and more.
Log4r is an adherent to the philosophy of logging using simple print
statements. What Log4r adds to this philosophy is a flexible way of
controling the information being logged. Log information can be sent
to any kind of destination and with varying degrees of importance.
Log4r is designed so that logging statements can remain in production
code with almost no extra computational cost.
Ruby Inline is an analog to Perl's Inline::C. Out of the box, it allows
you to embed C/++ external module code in your ruby script directly.
By writing simple builder classes, you can teach how to cope with new
languages (fortran, perl, whatever). The code is compiled and run on
the fly when needed.
A high-level IO library that provides validation, type conversion,
and more for command-line interfaces. HighLine also includes a complete
menu system that can crank out anything from simple list selection to
complete shells with just minutes of work.
Heckle is a mutation tester. It modifies your code and runs your tests
to make sure they fail. The idea is that if code can be changed and
your tests don't notice, either that code isn't being covered or it
doesn't do anything.
It's like hiring a white-hat hacker to try to break into your server
and making sure you detect it. You learn the most by trying to break
things and watching the outcome in an act of unit test sadism.
+ Install as a Ruby gem.
* Support Ukrainian(ua), Hungarian(hu)
* JRuby supported.
* Become a pure ruby library (Remove .so extention).
* Locale modules separate from lib/gettext/ to lib/locale/.
* Locale modules are refactored. System locales become read only.
* Fix bugs.
* Enhance to support Ruby on Rails.
* error_messages_for can accept custom error dialog messages.
* Add GetText::Rails.available_locales, .normalized_locale
and fragment_cache_key/expire_fragment reimplement to use these methods
to restrict cached locale files.
FlexMock is a flexible mocking library for use in unit testing and
behavior specification. Mocks are defined with a fluent API that
makes mock specifications easy to read and easy to remember.
Ruby/EventMachine is a fast, simple event-processing library for Ruby
programs. It lets you write network clients and servers without
handling sockets -- all you do is send and receive data. Single-threaded
socket engine -- scalable and fast!
Dhaka is a set of tools for generating tokenizers, parsers and evaluators
for context-free grammars. It is written solely in Ruby with no native
extensions and no dependencies.
