ArX

This release is recommended as the latest stable version. There are minor bugfixes. Support has been added for easy building of RPMs, which should make Debian support easier as well. "arx add" now just gives a warning and continues when trying to add something already added, instead of just exiting right away. "arx delete" no longer works on directories; use "rm -rf".

Minor updates were made to the manual, and a few bugs were fixed. update-distributions is now more verbose. Mac OS X 10.1 and 10.2 have been tested and seem to work.

The additional tools from src/user-interface have been moved into a the tools/ directory to make them more visible. arch-tag was added, which is useful for adding implicit tags to an existing tree. Undo, redo, and changelog have been added to the emacs mode. The *manifest cammands have been removed. arx-mode also now binds 'C-x v ~' to arx-file-diffs. Building under Mac OS X is now easier. Almost all instances of the confusing -R and -A options have been removed.

The manual has been completely updated to reflect the current state of ArX. OS X 10.1 seems to work. update-distributions no longer includes the control files by default. The --control option will include them. Automated ChangeLog support has been removed. Using archives that already contain them should work fine, they just won't be updated anymore. How inventory decides what to print out actually makes sense now. The key combination C-x v i in the emacs mode no longer prompts for a file name, just using the current file or directory.

This is the first release of ArX, a fork of the Arch version control
system. Numerous Arch bugs have been fixed, and ArX includes many
features that make it easier to use.
