Subject: Xtla 1.2 is out!!
|
||
|
||
The Xtla development team is proud to announce the release of Xtla,
|
||
version 1.2.
|
||
|
||
Xtla is the Emacs front-end to GNU Arch client (either tla or bazaar
|
||
branch, at your option). It mainly provides user-friendly wrappers for
|
||
native commands.
|
||
|
||
The 1.2 version of Xtla will most probably be the last version of Xtla
|
||
to contain new features. We are currently moving to a more generic
|
||
architecture, that we called DVC, which will support other RCS as
|
||
back-ends. We already have preliminary support for Mercurial and
|
||
Bazaar 2.
|
||
|
||
The main features are:
|
||
|
||
* PCL-CVS like interface for tla inventory and tla changes
|
||
|
||
* Archive browser - navigate painlessly through archives, categories,
|
||
branches, versions, etc.
|
||
|
||
* Good integration in Emacs - almost everything can be done from
|
||
within the editor
|
||
|
||
* Bookmark manager - keep the most frequently used arch locations in
|
||
your bookmark buffer
|
||
|
||
* Integration with ediff, Emacs's graphical diff tool
|
||
- to view changes made in a local tree.
|
||
- to view and resolve conflicts after a merge.
|
||
|
||
* Interface to view missing patches from all your partners with a
|
||
single command
|
||
|
||
* An Emacs mode for arch-related files (log files, =tagging-method,
|
||
"build-config" files)
|
||
|
||
* Support for baz, and for baz added commands like "switch",
|
||
"annotate", "status", "resolved"
|
||
|
||
* Integraton with Gnus.
|
||
|
||
The main new features for the 1.2 version are:
|
||
|
||
* M-x baz-update RET can use either merge, replay, or update
|
||
|
||
* changelog buffer, cat-log-mode buffers, and *Article* buffers (in
|
||
Gnus) show clickable buttons for revision names (and other Arch
|
||
names).
|
||
|
||
* A mail notification is available from the Changelog buffer (bound
|
||
to "M")
|
||
|
||
* Several bazaaz 1.5 compatibility issues solved
|
||
|
||
* Many bugfixes
