Changes for version 2.17
------------------------
* Major improvements to the "diff" subsystem, including:
* Added new formatting options: --by, -b, --webpage, --json, --tcl.
* Partial-line matching for unified diffs
* Better partial-line matching for side-by-side diffs
* Buttons on web-based diffs to show more context
* Performance improvements
* The --branchcolor option on fossil commit and fossil amend can now take
the value "auto" to force Fossil to use its built-in automatic color
choosing algorithm.
* Fossil now autosyncs prior to running fossil open.
* Add the ticket-default-report setting, which if set to the title of a
ticket report causes that ticket report to be displayed below the search
box in the /ticket page.
* The "nc" query parameter to the /timeline page causes all graph coloring
to be omitted.
* Improvements and bug fixes to the new "fossil ui REMOTE" feature so that
it works better on a wider variety of platforms.
* In /wikiedit, show the list of attachments for the current page and list
URLs suitable for pasting them into the page.
* Add the --no-http-compression option to fossil sync and similar.
* Print total payload bytes on a fossil sync when using the --verbose option.
* Add the close, reopen, hide, and unhide subcommands to the branch command.
* The "-p" option to fossil branch list shows only private branches.
* The Markdown formatter now interprets the content of block HTML markup
(such as <table>) in most cases. Only content of <pre> and <script> is
passed through verbatim.
* The wiki list command no longer lists "deleted" pages by default. Use the
new --all option to include deleted pages in the output.
* The fossil all git status command only shows reports for the subset of
repositories that have a configured Git export.
* The /chat configuration was reimplemented and provides new options,
including the ability for a repository administrator to extend the
selection of notification sounds using unversioned files.
* Chat now uses fossil's full complement of markdown features, instead of
the prior small subset of markup it previously supported. This
retroactively applies to all chat messages, as they are markdown-processed
when they are sent instead of when they are saved.
* Added a chat message preview mode so messages can be previewed before
being sent. Similarly, added a per-message ability to view the raw
un-parsed message text.
* The hotkey to activate preview mode in /wikiedit, /fileedit, and
/pikchrshow was changed from ctrl-enter to shift-enter in order to align
with /chat's new preview feature and related future changes.

pkgsrc
pkgsrc is a framework for building software for a variety of UNIX-like systems.
It produces binary packages, which can be managed with tools such as
pkgin. pkgsrc is highly configurable, supporting
building packages for an arbitrary installation prefix (the default is
/usr/pkg), allowing multiple branches to coexist on one machine, a
build options framework, and a compiler transformation framework, among
other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation is also supported.
pkgsrc is the default package manager for NetBSD and SmartOS. It's also supported as a first-class option in OmniOS CE and Oasis Linux.
Bootstrapping
To use pkgsrc on operating systems other than NetBSD, you first need to bootstrap:
cd pkgsrc/bootstrap
./bootstrap
Note that this is only for the most simple case, using pkgsrc's defaults.
Please consult bootstrap/README and bootstrap/README.OS for detailed
information about bootstrapping.
Building packages
cd pkgsrc/category/package-name
$PREFIX/bin/bmake install
Where $PREFIX is where you've chosen to install packages
(typically /usr/pkg)
On NetBSD, bmake is simply the built-in make tool.
To build packages in bulk, tools such as pkgtools/pbulk and
pkgtools/pkg_comp can be used.

- Join the community IRC channel #pkgsrc @ libera.chat.
- Join the community Matrix room #pkgsrc:nil.im
- Subscribe to the pkgsrc-users mailing list
