Changes
- "mtn serve" no longer takes patterns on the command line.
Use the permissions hooks instead.
- the name of the option that denoted the revision from which
"mtn log" should start logging was renamed from "--revision"
to "--from"
- author selectors no longer have implicit wildcarding
- if you manually add entries to MTN/log while you are
working, in preparation for an eventual commit, you will now
be required to remove a "magic" template line from the file
before the commit will succeed. This, like the test for an
empty log file, helps to prevent accidents.
- the "db regenerate_caches" migration command replaces the
previous "db regenerate_rosters", generalising the task of
rebuilding or generating cached data that may be added
across an upgrade. Like "db migrate", which upgrades the
database schema, this command fills in the data for new
features. In this release, as well as rosters, it also adds
"heights" information used to speed up topology operations.
Speed improvements
- "mtn annotate file" and "mtn log file" are generally much
faster now, dependant on the number of revisions that
changed the file. Both commands as well as "mtn automate
toposort" make use of data called "heights" caching the
topological order of all revisions. In order to create and
use this data, the following must be run once for each db
after upgrading:
$ mtn -d mydb.mtn db regenerate_caches
New features
- "mtn automate content_diff"
- "mtn automate get_file_of" (same as get_file, but expects
a file path and optionally a revision)
- "mtn import" command
- "mtn log --to"
- netsync_note_* hooks are given much more information,
inlcuding a http/smtp/etc style status code
- includedirpattern(dir, fileglob) function for hooks
Bugs fixed
- bug in "automate stdio" that would result in monotone
garbling its input in some circumstances fixed
- "mtn annotate file" and "mtn log file" are generally much
faster now, dependant on the number of revisions that
changed the file. Both commands as well as "mtn automate
toposort" make use of data called "heights" caching the
topological order of all revisions.
- spawn_redirected hook function now understands a blank
filename to mean not to redirect that stream
- "mtn log" is now in proper topological order, also due to
the use of cached "heights" data
- reset options between "automate stdio" commands
- another compile fix for gcc3
- bug in localization code where option strings where not
always properly translated
Other
- botan library upgraded to 1.6.0
- accommodate changes in boost 1.34
- documentation for "mtn automate get_option"
