gvn-r803 Release Notes

Current and past releases

Notable changes in 0.2 (r957) release

Support new ^/ syntax for repository roots; deprecate // syntax (r914)
Read support for new changebranch format in repo (see the gvn design doc for more details) (r946)
Count only changed lines when determining the size of a diff in gvn mail (r816)
Improve errors (r820 r830 r850)
Don't add @guessed-domain if username is email address (r822)
Issue 25 ('gvn change nonexistent-file' explodes) redux: also handle the case where the file exists but is not versioned (e.g. not yet Added) (r853)
At long last, rename ack to approve (r856) (ack still works for now, with a warning (r860))

Improve tests (r812 r827 r840 r847)

Add mailer.py for post-commit hook (r873)
Add post-commit repository verification hook (r879)
Don't allow creation of properties with invalid names (a la svn_prop_name_is_valid) (r887 r888 r889 r890 r906 r908)
Reject commits with "gvn:block-this-commit" revprop (for monitoring)

Subversion has branched for the 1.5.x series; gvn now tracks that rather than trunk. Windows binaries will be based on 1.5.x alpha tags.

Drop editor_command gvn config setting; use editor-cmd svn config setting instead (r723).
Handle encodings other than UTF-8 in change/mail/snap/submit commands; honor --encoding option, log-encoding svn config setting, and system-configured locale, in that order (r726, r748).
Add primitive --with-revprop option to submit; it can only handle one revprop for now (r729).
Fix diff in review of a change snapshot of an Add, showing the entire file rather than nothing (r770).
Fix issue 25 ('gvn change nonexistent-file' explodes) (r793)
Don't blow up when used from within an svn:externals directory from the same repository (r796).
Fix line endings in gvn mail on Windows, finally (r800).
Drop compat code from the switch to .gvnstate, way back in r360 (r801).

Hook infrastructure and some hooks now complete enough for deployment.
Implement write protection via OWNERS files.
Implement checks to ensure that the gvn change / approval process actually has meaning.
Allow a certain class of users to bypass the checks.
