* When an object "$tree:$path" does not exist, if $path does exist in the
subtree of $tree that corresponds to the subdirectory the user is in,
git now suggests using "$tree:./$path" in addition to the advice to use
the full path from the root of the working tree.
* The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months"
when it should have said "X+1 years".
* The smart-HTTP transfer was broken in 1.7.5 when the client needs
to issue a small POST (which uses content-length) and then a large
POST (which uses chunked) back to back.
* "git clean" used to fail on an empty directory that is not readable,
even though rmdir(2) could remove such a directory. Now we attempt it
as the last resort.
* The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to totally
ignore a change that only rearranged lines within a file. Such a
change now counts as at least a minimum but non zero change.
* The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to use the
pathname in the original, instead of the pathname in the result,
when renames are involved.
* "git pack-object" did not take core.bigfilethreashold into account
(unlike fast-import); now it does.
* "git reflog" ignored options like "--format=.." on the command line.
* "git stash apply" used to refuse to work if there was any change in
the working tree, even when the change did not overlap with the change
the stash recorded.
* "git stash apply @{99999}" was not diagnosed as an error, even when you
did not have that many stash entries.
* An error message from "git send-email" to diagnose a broken SMTP
connection configuration lacked a space between "hello=<smtp-domain>"
and "port=<smtp-server-port>".
* Add -liconv as static library requirement in libidn.pc, for MinGW.
* Fix memory leak in idna_to_ascii_4z when idna_to_ascii_4i fails.
* Ran clang-analyze on the code. Fixed some dead assignments/initializations.
* Really distribute win32/libidn4win.mk.
* API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

Ragel 6.6 - Dec 2, 2009
=======================
-Applied a number of patches from Diego Elio 'Flameeyes' Pettenò. Should not
be modifying the program's arguments. Problem raised by const correctness in
gcc 4.4. Other const-correctness and include fixes provided.
-Fixed improper allocation of checks in makeIncludePathChecks.
-Fixed segfault when there are no machine instantiations.
-Fixed wrong line directives. Line directives need to use the fileName stored
in the InputLoc stuctures from the parse trees, not the root source file,
otherwise actions in included files will have the wrong source file names
associated with the text.
-Made a number of build system improvements. We locate the DIST file using
$srcdir and source it. It contains settings for build_parsers and
build_manual. This allows the user of a dist to enable only one.
-Added missing files to doc/Makefile.am and examples/Makefile.am.
-Added checks for pdflatex and fig2dev is build_manual is on.
-Use automake --foreign so we don't need to have INSTALL and NEWS present.
-Ragel VIM syntax files should be specialized by host language. Updated the
VIM syntax files.
-Just discovered that $srcdir is available in the configure script for
checking for the existence of a file created by dist-hook. This lets us write
a test that knows the difference between a distribution tarball and something
from the repos. The building of the parsers and the manual can now be
automatically turned off in a make dist tarball.
-Added examples to the dist. Added unicode2ragel.rb to EXTRA_DIST in contrib.
-Moved unicode2ragel.rb to the contrib directory.
The CMPH Library encapsulates the newest and more efficient algorithms in an
easy-to-use, production-quality, fast API. The library was designed to work
with big entries that cannot fit in the main memory. It has been used
successfully for constructing minimal perfect hash functions for sets with
more than 100 million of keys, and we intend to expand this number to the
order of billion of keys. Although there is a lack of similar libraries, we
can point out some of the distinguishable features of the CMPH Library:
- Fast.
- Space-efficient with main memory usage carefully documented.
- The best modern algorithms are available (or at least scheduled for
implementation :-)).
- Works with in-disk key sets through of using the adapter pattern.
- Serialization of hash functions.
- Portable C code (currently works on GNU/Linux and WIN32 and is reported
to work in OpenBSD and Solaris).
- Object oriented implementation.
- Easily extensible.
- Well encapsulated API aiming binary compatibility through releases.
- Free Software.
Note that the 2-clause-bsd is not identical. (I know there are
hundreds of different BSD licenses -- we should not track them all.)
The DESCRiption follows:
Log4cplus provides a port of the log4j logging framework for C++.
Log4cplus is a featureful log facility with various filters, run-time
re-configurations, and Wide Character (UNICODE) support. It provides
log levels, hierarchal loggers, NDC (Nested Diagnostic Context),
and log rotation support. It can log to the console, files, syslog,
Windows events, or via sockets.
Firefox 4 is based on the Gecko 2.0 Web platform. This release features
JavaScript execution speeds up to six times faster than the previous
version, new capabilities for Web Developers and Add-on Developers such as
hardware accelerated graphics and HTML5 technologies, and a completely
revised user interface.
* Various MinGW portability fixes.
* Various git-p4 enhancements (in contrib).
* Various vcs-svn, git-svn and gitk enhancements and fixes.
* Various git-gui updates (0.14.0).
* Update to more modern HP-UX port.
* The codebase is getting prepared for i18n/l10n; no translated
strings nor translation mechanism in the code yet, but the strings
are being marked for l10n.
* The bash completion script can now complete symmetric difference
for "git diff" command, e.g. "git diff ...bra<TAB>".
* The default minimum length of abbreviated and unique object names
can now be configured by setting the core.abbrev configuration
variable.
* "git apply -v" reports offset lines when the patch does not apply at
the exact location recorded in the diff output.
* "git config" used to be also known as "git repo-config", but the old
name is now officially deprecated.
* "git checkout --detach <commit>" is a more user friendly synonym for
"git checkout <commit>^0".
* "git checkout" performed on detached HEAD gives a warning and
advice when the commit being left behind will become unreachable from
any branch or tag.
* "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can be told to use a custom merge
strategy, similar to "git rebase".
* "git cherry-pick" remembers which commit failed to apply when it is
stopped by conflicts, making it unnecessary to use "commit -c $commit"
to conclude it.
* "git cvsimport" bails out immediately when the cvs server cannot be
reached, without spewing unnecessary error messages that complain about
the server response it never got.
* "git fetch" vs "git upload-pack" transfer learned 'no-done'
protocol extension to save one round-trip after the content
negotiation is done. This saves one HTTP RPC, reducing the overall
latency for a trivial fetch.
* "git fetch" can be told to recursively fetch submodules on-demand.
* "git grep -f <filename>" learned to treat "-" as "read from the
standard input stream".
* "git grep --no-index" did not honor pathspecs correctly, returning
paths outside the specified area.
* "git init" learned the --separate-git-dir option to allow the git
directory for a new repository created elsewhere and linked via the
gitdir mechanism. This is primarily to help submodule support later
to switch between a branch of superproject that has the submodule
and another that does not.
* "git log" type commands now understand globbing pathspecs. You
can say "git log -- '*.txt'" for example.
* "git log" family of commands learned --cherry and --cherry-mark
options that can be used to view two diverged branches while omitting
or highlighting equivalent changes that appear on both sides of a
symmetric difference (e.g. "log --cherry A...B").
* A lazy "git merge" that didn't say what to merge used to be an error.
When run on a branch that has an upstream defined, however, the command
now merges from the configured upstream.
* "git mergetool" learned how to drive "beyond compare 3" as well.
* "git rerere forget" without pathspec used to forget all the saved
conflicts that relate to the current merge; it now requires you to
give it pathspecs.
* "git rev-list --objects $revs -- $pathspec" now limits the objects listed
in its output properly with the pathspec, in preparation for narrow
clones.
* "git push" with no parameters gives better advice messages when
"tracking" is used as the push.default semantics or there is no remote
configured yet.
* A possible value to the "push.default" configuration variable,
'tracking', gained a synonym that more naturally describes what it
does, 'upstream'.
* "git rerere" learned a new subcommand "remaining" that is similar to
"status" and lists the paths that had conflicts which are known to
rerere, but excludes the paths that have already been marked as
resolved in the index from its output. "git mergetool" has been
updated to use this facility.
perl. I'm not sure there is a better way to fix this since mtn-cleanup is
installed into ${PREFIX}/bin/.
Also skip the interpreter check for some helper files that are not used by
default. These may be put in separate packages but we can do this later;
for now I'm just adding a comment mentioning the idea.
Bump PKGREVISION to 2.
This requires a dependency on Python. Bump PKGREVISION to 1.
This is probably not the best solution: I guess it'd be nice to have a
libevent package that only included the binary libraries and no dependency
on Python, and another libevent-dev package with the event_rpcgen.py binary
and the Python dependency. But this can be done later; I want to just fix
the breakage first.
