6 * Thanks to Conrad Pino <conrad@pino.com>, the Windows build works once again.
8 * CVSROOT methods and option names are now case insensitive
10 * CVSROOT methods :ext: and :fork: now support the CVS_SERVER option.
12 * CVSROOT method :ext: now supports the CVS_RSH and Redirect options.
14 * Date handling has been improved slightly.
16 * Miscellaneous bug fixes.
18 * Miscellaneous documentation fixes.
22 * Thanks to a report from Chris Bohn <cbohn@rrinc.com>, all the source files
23 needed to build on Windows are now included in the source distribution.
25 Changes from 1.12.9 to 1.12.10:
26 *******************************
30 * The date formats which CVS accepts are now documented more fully in the
33 * CVS commands which accept dates now understand some more time zones,
34 including those which are some hours plus some fraction of an hour off of
35 universal coordinated time.
37 * `cvs ls filename' no longer causes an assertion failure.
39 * The maximum length of the discovered comment leader used in a Log keyword
40 substitution is now limited to 20 characters by default. If a longer leader
41 is discovered, then the keyword is not expanded. This default behavior may
42 be altered using the new MaxCommentLeaderLength & UseArchiveCommentLeader
45 * Commit messages once again include the full relative path to the file being
48 * Thanks to funding from Juniper Networks <http://juniper.net>, "write proxy"
49 functionality has been added to the CVS server. Write proxy functionality
50 allows any of multiple, read-only "secondary" servers to relay write requests
51 from clients to a single primary CVS server, allowing for a massive
52 redistribution of server load which is transparent to all known CVS clients.
54 * Thanks to funding from Juniper Networks <http://juniper.net>, some code has
55 been added which second-guesses the system file cache for a performance
58 * The loginfo scripting hook now runs after the administrative files in CVSROOT
59 are rebuilt, rather than before.
61 * Misc error message improvements.
63 * Thanks to funding from Juniper Networks <http://juniper.net>, new scripting
64 hooks have been added to the CVS server. These are the postadmin, posttag,
65 and postwatch hooks. See the manual for more info.
67 * Thanks to funding from Juniper Networks <http://juniper.net>, all the
68 existing scripting hooks may now optionally be passed a command name
71 * Thanks to funding from Juniper Networks <http://juniper.net>, new tags are
72 cached in the val-tags file at the time of tag creation.
74 * Thanks to a patch from Brian Murphy <brian@murphy.dk>, CVS now supports PAM
77 * Thanks to a report from Brian Murphy <brian@murphy.dk>, the demo PAM
78 configuration files mentioned in the manual are actually being distributed.
80 * Thanks again to Bart Robinson <lomew@pobox.com>, `cvs log' & `cvs ls' now
81 actually output local times when the server is version 1.12.9 or greater and
82 the client is version 1.12.10 or greater.
84 * The CVS server now sends paths to files relative to the repository. CVS
85 clients have been able to handle this since at least the 10 year old
86 CVS 1.9.2 release, so no attempt at verifying compatibility of clients has
87 been made. This saves a small amount of bandwidth and may enable some future
90 * The CVS client will send relative Directory requests if the server claims to
91 support it. This saves a very small amount of bandwidth but may enable some
94 * "cvs import" now has a new option, `-X', which causes new files to be
95 imported in a way that they appear only on the vendor branch, and do not
96 automatically appear on the main trunk.
98 This option may be made the default on a repository-wide basis
99 using the new ImportNewFilesToVendorBranchOnly=yes option in
102 * contrib/cvs_acls.in has been revised. Users of the old version will
103 want to upgrade to use the new format. See the documentation in
104 contrib/cvs_acls.html for more information.
106 * Thanks to Dan Peterson <dbpete@aol.com>, the contrib/validate_repo script now
107 accepts and logs corrupted revision numbers in RCS archives.
111 * Thanks to a report from Gottfried Ganssauge <gotti@cvshome.org>, CVS no
112 longer exits when it encounters links pointing to paths containing more
115 * Thanks to a report from Dan Peterson <dbpete@aol.com>, error messages from
116 GSSAPI servers are no longer truncated.
118 * Thanks to a report from Dan Peterson <dbpete@aol.com>, attempts to resurrect
119 a file on the trunk that was added on a branch no longer causes an assertion
122 * Thanks to a report from Dan Peterson <dbpete@aol.com>, imports to branches
123 like "1.1." no longer create corrupt RCS archives.
125 * Thanks to a report from Chris Bohn <cbohn@rrinc.com>, links from J.C. Hamlin
126 <jchamlin@ibsys.com>, and code posted by Jonathan Gilligan, we think we have
127 finally corrected the Windows "red-file" (daylight savings time) bug once and
130 * Thanks to a patch from Jeroen Ruigrok/asmodai <asmodai@wxs.nl>, the
131 log_accum.pl script should no longer elicit warnings from Perl 5.8.5.
133 * The r* commands (rlog, rls, etc.) can once again handle requests to run
134 against the entire repository (e.g. `cvs rlog .'). Thanks go to Dan Peterson
135 <dbpete@aol.com> for the report.
137 * A problem where the attempted access of files via tags beginning with spaces
138 could cause the CVS server to hang has been fixed. This was a particular
139 problem with WinCVS clients because users would sometimes accidentally
140 include spaces in tags pasted into a dialog box. This fix also altered some
141 of the error messages generated by the use of invalid tags. Thanks go to Dan
142 Peterson <dbpete@aol.com> for the report.
144 * Thanks to James E Wilson <wilson@specifixinc.com> for a bug fix to
145 modules processing "gcc-core -a !gcc/f gcc" will no longer exclude
146 gcc/fortran by mistake.
148 * Thanks to Conrad Pino <conrad@pino.com>, the Windows build works once again.
150 * Misc updates to the manual.
154 * We've standardized on Automake 1.9.3 to get some at new features that make
155 our jobs easier. See the note below on the Autoconf upgrade for more
158 * We've standardized on Autoconf version 2.59 to get presumed bug fixes and
159 features, but nothing specific. Mostly, once we decide to upgrade one of the
160 autotools we just figure it'll save time later to grab the most current
161 versions of the others too. See the HACKING file for more on using the
164 Changes from 1.12.8 to 1.12.9:
165 ******************************
167 SERVER SECURITY FIXES
169 * Thanks to Stefan Esser & Sebastian Krahmer, several potential security
170 problems have been fixed. The ones which were considered dangerous enough
171 to catalogue were assigned issue numbers CAN-2004-0416, CAN-2004-0417, &
172 CAN-2004-0418 by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project. Please
173 see <http://www.cve.mitre.org> for more information.
175 * A potential buffer overflow vulnerability in the server has been fixed.
176 This addresses the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project's issue
177 #CAN-2004-0414. Please see <http://www.cve.mitre.org> for more information.
181 * `cvs log' & `cvs ls' now output local times when both the server and client
182 are 1.12.9 or greater. (Thanks to Bart Robinson <lomew@pobox.com>.)
186 * The windows-NT/config.h.in file is now generated dynamically from the
187 root config.h.in file and a few inputs in the windows-NT directory in hopes
188 of keeping it more in sync with the root config.h.in file.
190 Changes from 1.12.7 to 1.12.8:
191 ******************************
193 SERVER SECURITY FIXES
195 * A potential buffer overflow vulnerability in the server has been fixed.
196 Prior to this patch, a malicious client could potentially use carefully
197 crafted server requests to run arbitrary programs on the CVS server machine.
198 This addresses the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project's issue
199 #CAN-2004-0396. Please see <http://www.cve.mitre.org> for more information.
203 * Some redundant output generated by the `cvs commit' command has been removed.
205 * Most output from the `cvs commit' command is suppressed when the -Q global
208 * Repository directory browsing via `cvs rls' & `cvs ls' commands. Expect
209 changes in the long format output soon. The "entries" format output should
210 remain fairly stable for automated parsers.
212 * Glob matches, as specified in ignore lists and wrapper options, now conform
213 to the POSIX.2 specification for fnmatch on all platforms.
215 * The Windows MS Visual C++ project files, including the nmake build files,
216 are now generated with MSVC++ 6.0, but should still work with MSVC++ 5.0.
220 * The cvs.1 man page is now generated automatically from a section of the CVS
223 * Thanks to a report from Mark Andrews at the Internet Systems Consortium, the
224 :ext: connection method no longer relies on a transparent transport that uses
225 an argument processor that can handle arbitrary ordering of options and other
226 arguments when using a username other than the caller's.
228 * Thanks to Ken Raeburn at MIT, directory deletion, whether via `cvs release'
229 or empty directory pruning, now works on network shares under Windows XP.
231 Changes from 1.12.6 to 1.12.7:
232 ******************************
234 SERVER SECURITY ISSUES
236 * Piped checkouts of paths above $CVSROOT no longer work. Previously, clients
237 could have requested the contents of RCS archive files anywhere on a CVS
238 server. This addresses CVE issue CAN-2004-0405. Please see
239 <http://www.cve.mitre.org> for more information.
241 CLIENT SECURITY ISSUES
243 * Clients now check paths from the server to verify that they are within one of
244 the sandboxes the user requested be updated. Previously, a trojan server
245 could have written or overwritten files anywhere the user had access,
246 presenting a serious security risk. This addresses CVE issue CAN-2004-1080.
247 Please see <http://www.cve.mitre.org> for more information.
251 * Imported the most recent version of regex from GNULIB, which actually means
252 some systems will use now their native regex functions instead of compiling
253 CVS's. Users should notice no changes in CVS responses to regular
254 expressions. If you do, please report them to <bug-cvs@gnu.org>.
256 * CVS now accepts the location of HTTP tunnel web proxies as part of the
257 CVSROOT string. Actually using a proxy remains untested. Please report
258 problems and successes to <bug-cvs@gnu.org>.
260 * Configure no longer checks the $TMPDIR, $TMP, & $TEMP variables to set the
261 default temporary directory.
263 * CVS on Cygwin correctly handles X:\ style paths.
265 * Import now uses backslash rather than slash on Windows when checking for
266 "CVS" directories to ignore in import commands.
268 * Relative paths containing up-references (`..') should now work in
269 client/server mode (client fix).
271 * A race condition between the ordering of messages from CVS and messages from
272 called scripts in client/server mode has been removed (server fix).
274 * The check_cvs and cvscheck scripts in the contrib directory have been renamed
275 validate_repo and sandbox_status, respectively, in the interests of clarity.
277 * The Windows MS Visual C++ 6.0 project files have been brought up to date.
278 The nmake build files were regenerated from these files with MSVC++ 5.0.
280 * A memory allocation bug on Windows that could cause at least executions of
281 `cvs status' to fail has been fixed (client fix).
283 * Resurrected files now get their modes and timestamps set correctly and a
284 longstanding bug involving resurrection of an uncommitted removal has been
287 * Some resurrection (cvs add) status messages have changed slightly.
289 * `cvs release' now works with Kerberos or GSSAPI encryption enabled (server
292 * File resurrection from a previously existing revision no longer just reports
293 that it works (server fix).
295 * Misc error & status message corrections.
297 * Diffing of locally added files against arbitrary revisions in an RCS archive
298 is now allowed when a file of the same name exists or used to exist on some
301 * Some user messages have been updated for consistency and spelling.
305 * The message source differentiation in the test suite between client and
306 server executables has been repaired.
308 Changes from 1.12.5 to 1.12.6:
309 ******************************
313 * CVSROOT/*info scripts may not work as expected with executables compiled
314 using VC++ under Windows since all quoting is currently done according to
315 Bourne Shell rules, which probably don't look like command.com rules.
316 Patches gratefully accepted.
318 * Imports will now always ignore directories and files named `CVS' to avoid
319 violating assumptions made by other parts of CVS.
321 * Directories specified to `checkout -d' are no longer required to exist. This
322 consolidates some behavior between `-d' options specified in the modules file
323 and `checkout -d' as well as removing some prior differences between local
324 and client/server mode operation.
326 * A problem with `cvs release' of subdirs that could corrupt CVS/Entries files
327 has been fixed (client/server).
329 * The CVS server's protocol check for unused data from the client is no longer
330 called automatically at program exit in order to avoid potential recursive
331 calls to error when the first close is due to memory allocation or similar
332 problems that cause calls to error() to fail. The check is still made when
333 the server program exits normally.
335 * The CVSROOT/*info files want a new command format and the old style strings
336 have been deprecated. Please see the manual for more information on the new
339 * The spec file has been updated to work with more recent versions of RPM.
341 * Some more GNULIB functions have been imported and/or updated for portability
344 * Several memory leaks have been plugged.
346 * A seg fault which always occurred after waiting on another process's lock
347 in order to establish a promotable lock is now avoided.
349 * An unlikely potential segfault when using the :fork: connection method has
352 * The CVS server has had the protocol check for unused data from the client
355 * A fix has been included that should avoid a very rare race condition that
356 could cause a CVS server to exit with a "broken pipe" message.
358 * Infinite alias loops in the modules file are now checked for and avoided.
360 * Clients on case insensitive systems now preserve the case of directories in
361 CVS/Entries, in addition to files, for use in communications with the CVS
364 * Misc status message fixes for consistency.
366 * Some previously untested behavior is now being tested.
368 * Server no longer claims to support the "Case" request.
370 * Case insensitive clients once again preserve the case of filenames in
371 CVS/Entries for communication with the server, as specified in the CVS
372 client/server protocol spec. Note that all CVS _servers_ still lack support
373 for case insensitive clients - servers are relying on the client to preserve
374 the case of checked out files.
376 * Thanks to Ville Skyttä the man page has a few less spelling errors and is
377 slightly more accurate.
379 * Thanks to Ville Skyttä some unused variables were removed from the log_accum
380 Perl script in contrib.
382 * Thanks to Alexey Mahotkin, a bug that prevented CVS from being compiled with
383 Kerberos 4 authentication enabled has been fixed.
385 * A minor bug that caused CVS to fail to report an inifinte alias loop in the
386 modules file when portions of the alias definition contained trailing slashes
389 * A bug in the gzip code that could cause heap corruption and segfaults in CVS
390 servers talking to clients less than 1.8 and some modern third-party CVS
391 clients has been fixed.
393 * mktemp.sh is now included with the source distribution so that the rcs2log
394 and cvsbug executables may be run on systems which do not contain an
395 implementation of mktemp.
397 * Misc documentation fixes.
401 * xmalloc, xstrdup, & some other memory allocating functions are now available
402 vi GNULIB versions imported into lib.
404 * The asnprintf() & vasnprintf() functions are now available due to a GNULIB
407 * Misc cosmetic, readability, and commenting fixes.
409 Changes between 1.12.4 and 1.12.5:
410 **********************************
412 SERVER SECURITY ISSUES
414 * pserver can no longer be configured to run as root via the
415 $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file, so if your passwd file is compromised, it no
416 longer leads directly to a root hack. Attempts to root will also be logged
421 * The Windows build files were updated to allow building of the current version
424 Changes between 1.12.3 and 1.12.4:
425 **********************************
429 * The CVS server no longer locks more than a directory at a time for write, so
430 large commits & tags should now have a much harder time blocking other
433 * Add support for large files. Use --disable-largefile to omit support
436 Changes between 1.12.2 and 1.12.3:
437 **********************************
439 SERVER SECURITY ISSUES
441 * Malformed module requests could cause the CVS server to attempt to create
442 directories and possibly files at the root of the filesystem holding the CVS
443 repository. Filesystem permissions usually prevent the creation of these
444 misplaced directories, but nevertheless, the CVS server now rejects the
449 * Support for case insensitive clients has been removed. This is not as
450 drastic as it sounds, as all of the current tests still pass without
451 modification when run from a case insensitive client to a case sensitive
452 server. In the end this should provide a major stability improvement.
454 * A minor problem that prevented the correct version of a system ZLIB from
455 being detected on some platforms has been fixed.
457 * Attempts to use the global `-l' option, removed from both client and server
458 as of version 1.12.1, will now elicit a warning rather than a fatal error
461 * The configure script now tests whether it is building CVS on a case
462 insensitive file system. If it is, CVS assumes that all file systems on this
463 platform will be case insensitive. This is useful for getting the case
464 insensitivity flag set correctly when compiling on Mac OS X and under Cygwin
465 on Windows. Autodetection can be overridden using the
466 --disable-case-sensitivity and --enable-case-sensitivity arguments to
471 * A new set of tests to test issues specific to case insensitive clients and
472 servers has also been added.
474 * Support has been added to the test suite to support testing over a :ext: link
475 to another machine, subject to some stringent requirements. This support can
476 be used, for instance, to test the operation of a case insensitive client
477 against a case sensitive server. Please see the comments in TEST and the
478 src/sanity.sh test script itself for more.
480 * We've standardized on Automake 1.7.9 to get a bug fix. See the note below
481 on the Autoconf upgrade for more details.
483 * We've standardized on Autoconf version 2.58 to avoid a bug and get at a few
484 new macros. Again, this should only really affect developers, though it is
485 possible that CVS will now compile on a few new platforms. Please see the
486 section of the INSTALL file about using the autotools if you are compiling
489 Changes between 1.12.1 and 1.12.2:
491 * Misc cleanup, reorganization, and other minor fixes.
493 * A behavior change in `cvs up -jrev1 -jrev2' for modified files with a base
494 revision of rev2 (ie, checked-out version matches rev2 and file has been
495 modified). The operation is no longer ignored and instead is passed to
496 diff3. This will potentially re-apply the diffs between the two revisions to
497 a modified local file. Status messages like from a standard merge have also
498 been added when the file would not or does not change due to this merge
499 request ("[file] already contains the changes between [revisions]...").
501 * A build problem that caused warnings and slower builds on systems without a
502 working getline() function (e.g. Mac OS X 10.1) has been fixed.
504 * A build problem that prevented the CVS executable from being built on systems
505 with the gettext library installed has been fixed.
507 * A bug which could stop `cvs admin -mTAG:message' from recursing has been
510 * Misc documentation cleanup and fixes.
512 * Some of the contrib scripts, some of the documentation, and sanity.sh were
513 modified to use and recommend more portable commands rather than using and
514 recommending commands which were not compatible with the POSIX 1003.1-2001
517 * CVS now knows how to report, as well as record, `P' record types.
519 * When running the `cvs history' command, clients will now send the
520 long-accepted `-e' option, for all records, rather than explicitly requesting
521 `P' record types, a request which servers prior to 1.11.7 will reject with a
524 * A problem with locating files requested by case insensitive clients which was
525 accidentally introduced in 1.11.6 as part of a fix for a data loss problem
526 involving `cvs add's from case insensitive clients has been fixed. The
527 relevant error message was `cvs [<command> aborted]: filE,v is ambiguous;
528 could mean FILE,v or file,v'.
530 * A problem in the CVS getpass library that could cause passwords to echo on
531 some systems has been fixed.
533 * A segfault that could occur in very rare cases where the stat of a file
534 failed during a diff has been fixed.
536 * Any user with write privleges to the CVSROOT/checkoutlist file could pass
537 arbitrary format strings directly through to a printf function. This was
538 probably bad and has been fixed. White space at the beginning of error strings
539 in checkoutlist is now ignored properly.
541 * A chmod 0600 that CVS performed on temp files it created designed to work
542 around a bug in versions of GLIBC eariler than 2.0.7 has been removed since it
543 still left a race condition open to exploitation and provided a false sense of
544 security. If you are linking CVS against a version of GLIBC prior to 2.0.7,
545 you should consider upgrading GLIBC.
547 * The CVSROOT/editinfo file is no longer referenced by CVS. This funcitonality
548 has been deprecated for over six years and removing it will presumably not
549 cause anyone any problems.
551 * In client/server mode, most messages from CVS now contain the actual
552 command name rather than the generic "server".
554 * A long-standing bug that prevented most client/server updates from being
555 logged in the history file has been fixed.
557 * Updates done via a patch ("P" status) are now logged in the history file
558 by default and the corresponding "P" history record type is now documented.
559 If you're setting the LogHistory option in your CVSROOT/config file, you may
560 want to add "P" to the list of record types.
562 * CVS now will always compile its own getpass() function (originally from
563 GNULIB) in favor of any system one that may exist. This avoids some problems
564 with long passwords on some systems and updates us to POSIX.2 compliance, since
565 getpass() was removed from the POSIX.2 specification.
567 * Support for pre-ANSI compilers has been removed. Our minimum support level
568 now assumes at least a freestanding C89 compilers. See the HACKING file for
569 more information. If you *really* need K&R support, our Makefile.am files
570 should only need minor tweaking to get them to run the ansi2knr script from the
571 Automake project. If you get this working, please send a patch to
574 * Experimental support for Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) has been
575 added, though it is not compiled by default. If you like this feature (or
576 don't), please send us feedback. See the Cederqvist, `./configure --help',
577 and the INSTALL file for more.
579 * Command line keyword expansion modes no longer override binary keyword
582 * New LocalKeyword and KeywordExpand options to CVSROOT/config which
583 FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD users may find familiar as the "tag" and
584 "tagexpand" options used for many years. The CVSHeader keyword has
585 also been added to the mixture.
587 * A bug that allowed a write lock to be created in a directory despite
588 there being existing read locks when using LockDir in CVSROOT/config has
591 * A bug with short patches (`rdiff -s') which caused rdiff to sometimes report
592 differences that did not exist has been fixed.
594 * Some minor corrections were made to the diff code to keep diff & rdiff from
595 printing diff headers with empty change texts when two files have different
596 revision numbers but the same content.
598 * The global '-l' option, which suppressed history logging, has been removed
599 from both client and server.
601 Changes from 1.11.5 to 1.12.1:
603 * The new --with-external-zlib option can be passed to configure to compile
604 CVS against an external installed zlib.
606 * A warning message is now issued if an administrative file contains
607 more than one DEFAULT entry.
609 * An error running a verifymsg script (such as referencing an unset user
610 variable or the script not existing) now causes the verification to
613 * Errors in administrative files commands (like unset user variables)
614 are no longer reported unless the command is actually executed.
616 * When a file is initially checked out, its last access time is now set
617 to the current time rather than being set to the time the file was last
618 checked in like the modification time is.
620 * The Checkin.prog and Update.prog functionality has been removed. This
621 fuctionality previously allowed executables to be specified in the modules file
622 to be run at update and checkin time, but users could edit these files on a per
623 workspace basis, creating a security hole.
625 * CVSROOTs which contain a symlink to a real repository should work.
627 * contrib/rcs2log and src/cvsbug now use the BSD mktemp program to create
628 their temp files and directories on systems which provide it.
630 * Added a UserAdminOptions configuration option to CVSROOT/config to
631 control which `cvs admin' commands are not restricted to the `cvsadmin'
634 * If the rcsinfo specified template changes after a user has checked
635 out a tree, the template in the users' tree will be updated rather
636 than remaining static from the time of the original checkout.
638 * Added a CVSREADONLYFS environment variable and `-R' cvs global
639 option to turn on read-only repository mode for local repositories.
640 This allows users to checkout from a CDROM repository or other
641 read-only filesystem.
643 * There is a new CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM environment variable, which
644 may be used to give control over the branch number to be used next.
645 Useful for having local changes in a CVSup mirrored repository.
647 * Miscellaneous documentation corrections.
649 * Corrected the path in a failed write error message.
651 * Autoconf and Automake are no longer run automatically unless you run
652 configure with --enable-maintainer-mode. Accordingly, noautomake.sh is
653 no longer needed and has been removed.
655 * We've standardized on Automake version 1.7.5 and Autoconf version 2.57 to get
656 at a few new macros. Again, this should only really affect developers. See
657 the section of the INSTALL file about using the autotools if you are compiling
660 Changes from 1.11.4 to 1.11.5:
662 * Fixed a security hole in the CVS server by which users with read only access
663 could gain write access. This issue does not affect client builds. The
664 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
665 name CAN-2003-0015 to this issue. See
666 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0015> for more
669 * Fixed some bugs where revision numbers starting with 0 (like 0.3)
670 weren't correctly handled. (CVS doesn't normally use such revision
671 numbers, but users may be able to force it to do so and old RCS files
674 Changes from 1.11.3 to 1.11.4:
676 * Some minor changes to allow the code to compile on Windows platforms.
678 Changes from 1.11.2 to 1.11.3:
680 * The tag/rtag code has been fixed to once again lock just a single
683 * There was a bug where certain error conditions could cause the server
684 to go into an infinite loop. There was also a bug that caused a
685 compressed connection from an older client to hang on shutdown. These
686 bugs have been fixed.
688 * Fixed a bug that caused the server to reject most watch commands.
690 * When waiting for another user's lock, the message timestamps are now
691 in UTC rather than the server's local time.
693 * The options.h file is no longer used. This fixes a bug that occurred when
694 1.11.2 was compiled on Windows platforms.
696 * We've standardized on Automake version 1.6.3 and Autoconf version 2.53.
697 They are cleaner, less bug prone, and will hopfully allow me to start updating
698 sanity.sh to use Autotest and Autoshell. Again, this should only really affect
699 developers. See the section of the INSTALL file about using the autotools if
700 you are compiling CVS yourself.
702 * Fixed a bug in the log/rlog code when a revision range crosses a
705 * Fixed a bug where filenames starting with - would be misinterpreted as
706 options when using client/server mode.
708 Changes from 1.11.1p1 to 1.11.2:
710 * There is a new feature, enabled by RereadLogAfterVerify in CVSROOT/config,
711 which tells CVS to reread the log message after running the verifymsg
712 script. This allows the verifymsg script to reformat or otherwise
713 modify the log message.
715 * The interpretation of revision ranges using :: in "log" and "rlog"
716 has changed: a::b now excludes the log message from revision a but
717 includes the log message from revision b. Also, revision ranges that
718 cross branch points should now work.
720 * zlib has been updated to version 1.4. There is a security advisory
721 out in regards to 1.3. This should fix that problem.
723 * The "log" and "rlog" commands now have a -S option to suppress the
724 header information when no revisions are selected.
726 * A serious error that allowed read-only users to tag files has been
729 * The "annotate" command will no longer annotate binary files unless
730 you specify the new -F option.
732 * The "tag" and "rtag" commands will no longer move or delete branch
733 tags unless you use the new -B option. (This prevents accidental
734 changes to branch tags that are hard to undo.)
736 * We've standardized on the 1.5 Automake release for the moment. Again, this
737 should only really affect developers. See the section of the INSTALL file
738 about using the autotools if you are compiling CVS yourself.
740 Changes from 1.11.1 to 1.11.1p1:
742 * Read only access was broken - now fixed.
744 Changes from 1.11 to 1.11.1:
746 * There was a locking bug in the tag/rtag code that could lose changes
747 made to a file while the tag operation was in progress. This has been
748 fixed, but all of the directories being tagged are now locked for the
749 entire duration of the tag operation rather than only one directory at a
752 * The "cvs diff" command now accepts the -y/--side=by-side and -T/
753 --initial-tab options. (To use these options with a remote repository,
754 both the client and the server must support them.)
756 * The expansion of the loginfo format string has changed slightly.
757 Previously, the expansion was surrounded by single quotes ('); if a file
758 name contained a single quote character, the string would not be parsed
759 as a single entity by the Unix shell (and it would not be possible to
760 parse it unambiguously). Now the expansion is surrounded by double
761 quotes (") and any embedded dollar signs ($), backticks (`), backslashes
762 (\), and double quotes are preceded by a backslash. This is parsed as a
763 single entity by the shell reguardless of content. This change should
764 not be noticable unless you're not using a Unix shell or you have
765 embedded the format string inside a double quoted string.
767 * There was a bug in the diff code which sometimes caused conflicts to
768 be flagged which shouldn't have been. This has been fixed.
770 * New "cvs rlog" and "cvs rannotate" commands have been added to get log
771 messages and annotations without having to have a checked-out copy.
773 * Exclusive revision ranges have been added to "cvs log" using ::
774 (similar to "cvs admin -o").
776 * The VMS client now accepts wildcards if you're running VMS 7.x.
778 * ZLIB has been updated to version 1.1.3, the most current version. This
779 includes mostly some optimizations and minor bug fixes.
781 * The ~/.cvspass file has a slightly modified format. CVSROOTs are now
782 stored in a new canonical form - hostnames are now case insensitive and
783 port numbers are always stored in the new format. Until a new login for
784 a particular CVSROOT is performed with the new version of CVS, new and
785 old versions of CVS should interoperate invisibly. After that point, an
786 extra login using the old version of CVS may be necessary to continue to
787 allow the new and old versions of CVS to interoperate using the same
788 ~/.cvspass file and CVSROOT. The exception to this rule occurs when the
789 CVSROOTs used with the different versions use case insensitively
790 different hostnames, for example, "empress", and "empress.2-wit.com".
792 * A password and a port number may now be specified in CVSROOT for
793 pserver connections. The new format is:
795 :pserver:[[user][:password]@]host[:[port]]/path
797 Note that passwords specified in a checkout command will be saved in the
798 clear in the CVS/Root file in each created directory, so this is not
799 recommended, except perhaps when accessing anonymous repositories or the
802 * The distribution has been converted to use Automake. This shouldn't
803 affect most users except to ease some portability concerns, but if you
804 are building from the repository and encounter problems with the
805 makefiles, you might try running ./noautomake.sh after a fresh update
808 Changes from 1.10 to 1.11:
810 * The "cvs update" command has a new -C option to get clean copies from
811 the repository, abandoning any local changes.
813 * The new "cvs version" command gives a short version message. If
814 the repository is remote, both the client and server versions are
817 * "cvs admin -t" now works correctly in client/server mode.
819 * The "cvs history" command output format has changed -- the date
820 now includes the year and is given is ISO 8601 format (yyyy-mm-dd).
821 Also, the new LogHistory option in CVSROOT/config can be used to
822 control what information gets recorded in the log file and code has
823 been added to record file removals.
825 * The buggy PreservePermissions code has been disabled.
827 * Anonymous read-only access can now be done without requiring a
828 password. On the server side, simply give that user (presumably
829 `anonymous') an empty password in the CVSROOT/passwd file, and then
830 any received password will authenticate successfully.
832 * There is a new access method :fork: which is similar to :local:
833 except that it is implemented via the CVS remote protocol, and thus
834 has a somewhat different set of quirks and bugs.
836 * The -d command line option no longer updates the CVS/Root file. For
837 one thing, the CVS 1.9/1.10 behavior never had updated CVS/Root in
838 subdirectories, and for another, it didn't seem that popular in
839 general. So this change restores the CVS 1.8 behavior (which is also
840 the CVS 1.9/1.10 behavior if the environment variable
841 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT is set; with this change,
842 CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT no longer has any effect).
844 * It is now possible for a single CVS command to recurse into several
845 CVS roots. This includes roots which are located on several servers,
846 or which are both remote and local. CVS will make connections to as
847 many servers as necessary.
849 * It is now possible to put the CVS lock files in a directory
850 set by the new LockDir option in CVSROOT/config. The default
851 continues to be to put the lock files in the repository itself.
853 Changes from 1.9 to 1.10:
855 * A bug was discovered in the -t/-f wrapper support that can cause
856 serious data loss. Because of this (and also the fact that it doesn't
857 work at all in client/server mode), the -t/-f wrapper code has been
858 disabled until it can be fixed.
860 * There is a new feature, enabled by TopLevelAdmin in CVSROOT/config,
861 which tells CVS to modify the behavior of the "checkout" command. The
862 command now creates a CVS directory at the top level of the new
863 working directory, in addition to CVS directories created within
864 checked-out directories. See the Cederqvist for details.
866 * There is an optional set of features, enabled by PreservePermissions
867 in CVSROOT/config, which allow CVS to store unix-specific file
868 information such as permissions, file ownership, and links. See the
869 Cederqvist for details.
871 * One can now authenticate and encrypt using the GSSAPI network
872 security interface. For details see the Cederqvist's description of
873 specifying :gserver: in CVSROOT, and the -a global option.
875 * All access to RCS files is now implemented internally rather than by
876 calling RCS programs. The main user-visible consequence of this is
877 that there is no need to worry about making sure that CVS finds the
878 correct version of RCS. The -b global option and the RCSBIN setting
879 in CVSROOT/config are still accepted but don't do anything. The
880 $RCSBIN internal variable in administrative files is no longer
883 * There is a new syntax, "cvs admin -orev1::rev2", which collapses the
884 revisions between rev1 and rev2 without deleting rev1 or rev2
887 * There is a new administrative file CVSROOT/config which allows one
888 to specify miscellaneous aspects of CVS configuration. Currently
891 - SystemAuth, allows you to prevent pserver from checking for system
894 For more information see the "config" section of cvs.texinfo.
896 * When setting up the pserver server, one now must specify the
897 allowable CVSROOT directories in inetd.conf. See the Password
898 authentication server section of cvs.texinfo for details. Note that
899 this implies that everyone who is running a pserver server must edit
900 inetd.conf when upgrading their CVS.
902 * The client no longer needs an external patch program (assuming both
903 the client and the server have been updated to the new version).
905 * "cvs admin [options]" will now recurse. In previous versions of
906 CVS, it was an error and one needed to specify "cvs admin [options] ."
907 to recurse. This change brings admin in line with the other CVS
910 * New "logout" command to remove the password for a remote cvs
911 repository from the cvspass file.
913 * Read-only repository access is implemented for the
914 password-authenticated server (other access methods are just governed
915 by Unix file permissions, since they require login access to the
916 repository machine anyway). See the "Repository" section of
917 cvs.texinfo for details, including a discussion of security issues.
918 Note that the requirement that read-only users be able to create locks
919 and write the history file still applies.
921 * There is a new administrative file verifymsg which is like editinfo
922 but merely validates the message, rather than also getting it from the
923 user. It therefore works with client/server CVS or if one uses the -m
924 or -F options to commit. See the verifymsg section of cvs.texinfo for
927 * The %s format formerly accepted in loginfo has been extended to
928 formats such as %{sVv}, so that loginfo scripts have access to the
929 version numbers being changed. See the Loginfo section of cvs.texinfo
932 * The postscript documentation (doc/cvs.ps) shipped with CVS is now
933 formatted for US letter size instead of A4. This is not because we
934 consider this size "better" than A4, but because we believe that the
935 US letter version will print better on A4 paper than the other way
938 * The "cvs export" command is now logged in the history file and there
939 is a "cvs history -x E" command to select history file entries
942 * CVS no longer uses the CVS_PASSWORD environment variable. Storing
943 passwords in cleartext in an environment variable is a security risk,
944 especially since (on BSD variants) any user on the system can display
945 any process's environment using 'ps'. Users should use the 'cvs
946 login' command instead.
949 Changes from 1.8 to 1.9:
951 * Windows NT client should now work on Windows 95 as well.
953 * New option "--help-synonyms" prints a list of all recognized command
956 * The "log" command is now implemented internally rather than via the
957 RCS "rlog" program. The main user-visible consequence is that
958 symbolic branch names now work (for example "cvs log -rbranch1").
959 Also, the date formats accepted by -d have changed. They previously
960 had been a bewildering variety of poorly-documented date formats. Now
961 they are the same as the date formats accepted by the -D options to
962 the other CVS commands, which is also a (different) bewildering
963 variety of poorly-documented date formats, but at least we are
964 consistently bewildering :-).
966 * Encryption is now supported over a Kerberos client/server
967 connection. The new "-x" global option requests it. You must
968 configure with the --enable-encryption option in order to enable
971 * The format of the CVS commit message has changed slightly when
972 committing changes on a branch. The tag on which the commit is
973 ocurring is now reported correctly in all cases.
975 * New flag -k in wrappers allows you to specify the keyword expansion
976 mode for added files based on their name. For example, you can
977 specify that files whose name matches *.exe are binary by default.
978 See the Wrappers section of cvs.texinfo for more details.
980 * Remote CVS with the "-z" option now uses the zlib library (included
981 with CVS) to compress all communication between the client and the
982 server, rather than invoking gzip on each file separately. This means
983 that compression is better and there is no need for an external gzip
984 program (except to interoperate with older version of CVS).
986 * The "cvs rlog" command is deprecated and running it will print a
987 warning; use the synonymous "cvs log" command instead. It is
988 confusing for rlog to mean the same as log because some other CVS
989 commands are in pairs consisting of a plain command which operates on
990 a working directory and an "r" command which does not (diff/rdiff;
993 * "cvs diff" has a bunch of new options, mostly long options. Most of
994 these work only if rcsdiff and diff support them, and are named the
995 same as the corresponding options to diff.
997 * The -q and -Q command options to "cvs diff" were removed (use the
998 global options instead). This brings "cvs diff" into line with the
999 rest of the CVS commands.
1001 * The "annotate" command can now be used to annotate a revision other
1002 than the head revision on the trunk (see the -r, -D, and -f options in
1003 the annotate node of cvs.texinfo for details).
1005 * The "tag" command has a new option "-c" which checks that all files
1006 are not locally modified before tagging.
1008 * The -d command line option now overrides the cvsroot setting stored
1009 in the CVS/Root file in each working directory, and specifying -d will
1010 cause CVS/Root to be updated.
1012 * Local (non-client/server) CVS now runs on Windows NT. See
1013 windows-NT/README for details.
1015 * The CVSROOT variable specification has changed to support more
1016 access methods. In addition to "pserver," "server" (internal rsh
1017 client), "ext" (external rsh client), "kserver" (kerberos), and
1018 "local" (local filesystem access) can now be specified. For more
1019 details on each method, see cvs.texinfo (there is an index entry for
1020 :local: and each of the other access methods).
1022 * The "login" command no longer prompts the user for username and
1023 hostname, since one will have to provide that information via the `-d'
1024 flag or by setting CVSROOT.
1026 Changes from 1.7 to 1.8:
1028 * New "cvs annotate" command to display the last modification for each
1029 line of a file, with the revision number, user checking in the
1030 modification, and date of the modification. For more information see
1031 the `annotate' node in cvs.texinfo.
1033 * The cvsinit shell script has been replaced by a cvs init command.
1034 The cvs init command creates some example administrative files which
1035 are similar to the files found in the examples directory (and copied
1036 by cvsinit) in previous releases.
1038 * Added the patterns *.olb *.exe _$* *$ to default ignore list.
1040 * There is now a $USER internal variable for *info files.
1042 * There is no longer a separate `mkmodules' program; the functionality
1043 is now built into `cvs'. If upgrading an old repository, it is OK to
1044 leave in the lines in the modules file which run mkmodules (the
1045 mkmodules actions will get done twice, but that is harmless); you will
1046 probably want to remove them once you are no longer using the old CVS.
1048 * One can now specify user variables in *info files via the
1049 ${=varname} syntax; there is a -s global option to set them. See the
1050 Variables node in cvs.texinfo for details.
1052 Changes from 1.6 to 1.7:
1054 * The default ignore list has changed slightly: *.obj has been added
1055 and CVS* has been changed to CVS CVS.adm.
1057 * CVS now supports password authentication when accessing remote
1058 repositories; this is useful for sites that can't use rsh (because of
1059 a firewall, for example), and also don't have kerberos. See node
1060 "Password authenticated" (in "Remote repositories", in
1061 doc/cvs.texinfo) for more details. Note: This feature requires both
1062 the client and server to be upgraded.
1064 * Using the -kb option to specify binary files now works--most cases
1065 did not work before. See the "Binary files" section of
1066 doc/cvs.texinfo for details.
1068 * New developer communication features. See the "Watches" section of
1069 doc/cvs.texinfo for details.
1071 * RCS keyword "Name" supported for "cvs update -r <tag>" and "cvs
1074 * If there is a group whose name matches a compiled in value which
1075 defaults to "cvsadmin", only members of that group can use "cvs
1076 admin". This replaces the CVS_NOADMIN option.
1078 * CVS now sets the modes of files in the repository based on the
1079 CVSUMASK environment variable or a compiled in value defaulting to
1080 002. This way other developers will be able to access the files in
1081 the repository regardless of the umask of the developer creating them.
1083 * The command names in .cvsrc now match the official name of the
1084 command, not the one (possibly an alias) by which it was invoked. If
1085 you had previously relied on "cvs di" and "cvs diff" using different
1086 options, instead use a shell function or alias (for example "alias
1087 cvsdi='cvs diff -u'"). You also can specify global CVS options (like
1088 "-z") using the command name "cvs".
1090 Changes from 1.5 to 1.6:
1092 * Del updated the man page to include all of the new features
1095 * "cvs tag" now supports a "-r | -D" option for tagging an already
1096 tagged revision / specific revision of a file.
1098 * There is a "taginfo" file in CVSROOT that supports filtering and
1099 recording of tag operations.
1101 * Long options support added, including --help and --version options.
1103 * "cvs release" no longer cares whether or not the directory being
1104 released has an entry in the `modules' file.
1106 * The modules file now takes a -e option which is used instead of -o
1107 for "cvs export". If your modules file has a -o option which you want
1108 to be used for "cvs export", change it to specify -e as well as -o.
1110 * "cvs export" now takes a -k option to set RCS keyword expansion.
1111 This way you can export binary files. If you want the old behavior,
1112 you need to specify -kv.
1114 * "cvs update", "cvs rdiff", "cvs checkout", "cvs import", "cvs
1115 release", "cvs rtag", and "cvs tag" used to take -q and -Q options
1116 after the command name (e.g. "cvs update -q"). This was confusing
1117 because other commands, such as "cvs ci", did not. So the options
1118 after the command name have been removed and you must now specify, for
1119 example, "cvs -q update", which has been supported since CVS 1.3.
1121 * New "wrappers" feature. This allows you to set a hook which
1122 transforms files on their way in and out of cvs (apparently on the
1123 NeXT there is some particular usefulness in tarring things up in the
1124 repository). It also allows you to declare files as merge-by-copy
1125 which means that instead of trying to merge the file, CVS will merely
1126 copy the new version. There is a CVSROOT/cvswrappers file and an
1127 optionsl ~/.cvswrappers file to support this feature.
1129 * You can set CVSROOT to user@host:dir, not just host:dir, if your
1130 username on the server host is different than on the client host.
1132 * VISUAL is accepted as well as EDITOR.
1134 * $CVSROOT is expanded in *info files.
1136 Changes from 1.4A2 to 1.5:
1138 * Remote implementation. This is very helpful when collaborating on a
1139 project with someone across a wide-area network. This release can
1140 also be used locally, like other CVS versions, if you have no need for
1143 Here are some of the features of the remote implementation:
1144 - It uses reliable transport protocols (TCP/IP) for remote repository
1145 access, not NFS. NFS is unusable over long distances (and sometimes
1146 over short distances)
1147 - It transfers only those files that have changed in the repository or
1148 the working directory. To save transmission time, it will transfer
1149 patches when appropriate, and can compress data for transmission.
1150 - The server never holds CVS locks while waiting for a reply from the client;
1151 this makes the system robust when used over flaky networks.
1153 The remote features are documented in doc/cvsclient.texi in the CVS
1154 distribution, but the main doc file, cvs.texinfo, has not yet been
1155 updated to include the remote features.
1157 * Death support. See src/README-rm-add for more information on this.
1159 * Many speedups, especially from jtc@cygnus.com.
1161 * CVS 1.2 compatibility code has been removed as a speedup. If you
1162 have working directories checked out by CVS 1.2, CVS 1.3 or 1.4A2 will
1163 try to convert them, but CVS 1.5 and later will not (if the working
1164 directory is up to date and contains no extraneous files, you can just
1165 remove it, and then check out a new working directory). Likewise if
1166 your repository contains a CVSROOT.adm directory instead of a CVSROOT
1167 directory, you need to rename it.
1169 Fri Oct 21 20:58:54 1994 Brian Berliner <berliner@sun.com>
1171 * Changes between CVS 1.3 and CVS 1.4 Alpha-2
1173 * A new program, "cvsbug", is provided to let you send bug reports
1174 directly to the CVS maintainers. Please use it instead of sending
1175 mail to the info-cvs mailing list. If your build fails, you may
1176 have to invoke "cvsbug" directly from the "src" directory as
1179 * A new User's Guide and Tutorial, written by Per Cederqvist
1180 <ceder@signum.se> of Signum Support. See the "doc" directory. A
1181 PostScript version is included as "doc/cvs.ps".
1183 * The Frequesntly Asked Questions file, FAQ, has been added to the
1184 release. Unfortunately, its contents are likely out-of-date.
1186 * The "cvsinit" shell script is now installed in the $prefix/bin
1187 directory like the other programs. You can now create new
1188 CVS repositories with great ease.
1190 * Index: lines are now printed on output from 'diff' and 'rdiff',
1191 in order to facilitate application of patches to multiple subdirs.
1193 * Support for a ~/.cvsrc file, which allows you to specify options
1194 that are always supposed to be given to a specific command. This
1195 feature shows the non-orthogonality of the option set, since while
1196 there may be an option to turn something on, the option to turn
1197 that same thing off may not exist.
1199 * You can now list subdirectories that you wish to ignore in a
1200 modules listing, such as:
1202 gcc -a gnu/gcc, !gnu/gcc/testsuites
1204 which will check out everything underneath gnu/gcc, except
1205 everything underneath gnu/gcc/testsuites.
1207 * It is now much harder to accidentally overwrite an existing tag
1208 name, since attempting to move a tag name will result in a error,
1209 unless the -F (force) flag is given to the tag subcommands.
1211 * Better error checking on matching of the repository used to
1212 check code out from against the repository the current cvs
1213 commnands would use. (Thanks to Mark Baushke <mdb@cisco.com>)
1215 * Better support for sites with multiple CVSROOT repositories has
1216 been contributed. The file "CVS/Root" in your working directory
1217 is created to hold the full path to the CVS repository and a
1218 simple check is made against your current CVSROOT setting.
1220 * You can now specify an RCS keyword substitution value when you
1221 import files into the repository.
1223 * Uses a much newer version of Autoconf, and conforms to the GNU
1224 coding standards much more closely. No, it still doesn't have
1227 * Code cleanup. Many passes through gcc -Wall helped to identify
1228 a number of questionable constructs. Most arbitrary length limits
1231 * Profiling to determine bottlenecks helped to identify the best
1232 places to spend time speeding up the code, which was then done. A
1233 number of performance enhancements in filename matching have sped
1236 * Many more contributions have been added to the "contrib"
1237 directory. See the README file in that directory for more
1240 * "cvs commit" will try harder to not change the file's
1241 modification time after the commit. If the file does not change
1242 as a result of the commit operation, CVS will preserve the
1243 original modification time, thus speeding up future make-type
1246 * "cvs commit" now includes any removed files in the (optional)
1247 pre-commit checking program that may be invoked. Previously, only
1248 added and modified files were included.
1250 * It is now possible to commit a file directly onto the trunk at a
1251 specific revision level by doing "cvs commit -r3.0 file.c", where
1252 "3.0" specifies the revision you wish to create. The file must be
1253 up-to-date with the current head of the trunk for this to succeed.
1255 * "cvs commit" will now function with a pre-commit program that
1256 has arguments specified in the "commitinfo" file.
1258 * The "mkmodules" program will now look within the
1259 $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/checkoutlist" file for any additional files that
1260 should be automatically checked out within CVSROOT; mkmodules also
1261 tries harder to preserve any execute bits the files may have
1264 * "cvs diff" is much more accurate about its exit status now. It
1265 now returns the maximum exit status of any invoked diff.
1267 * The "-I !" option is now supported for the import and update
1268 commands correctly. It will properly clear the ignore list now.
1270 * Some problems with "cvs import" handling of .cvsignore have been
1271 fixed; as well, some rampant recursion problems with import have
1274 * "cvs rdiff" (aka "cvs patch") now tries to set the modify time
1275 of any temporary files it uses to match those specified for the
1276 particular revision. This allows a more accurate patch image to
1279 * "cvs status" has improved revision descriptions. "Working
1280 revision" is used for the revision of the working file that you
1281 edit directly; "Repository revision" is the revision of the file
1282 with the $CVSROOT source repository. Also, the output is clearer
1283 with regard to sticky and branch revisions.
1285 * CVS no longer dumps core when given a mixture of directories and
1286 files in sub-directories (as in "cvs ci file1 dir1/file2").
1287 Instead, arguments are now clumped into their respective directory
1288 and operated on in chunks, together.
1290 * If the CVSEDITOR environment variable is set, that editor is
1291 used for log messages instead of the EDITOR environment variable.
1292 This makes it easy to substitute intelligent programs to make more
1293 elaborate log messages. Contributed by Mark D Baushke
1296 * Command argument changes:
1297 cvs: The "-f" option has been added to ignore
1299 commit: Renamed the "-f logfile" option to the
1300 "-F logfile" option. Added the "-f"
1301 option to force a commit of the specified
1302 files (this disables recursion).
1303 history: Added "-t timezone" option to force any
1304 date-specific output into the specified
1306 import: Added "-d" option to use the file's
1307 modification time as the time of the
1308 import. Added "-k sub" option to set the
1309 default RCS keyword substitution mode for
1310 newly-created files.
1311 remove: Added "-f" option to force the file's
1312 automatic removal if it still exists in
1313 the working directory (use with caution).
1314 rtag: Added "-F" option to move the tag if it
1315 already exists -- new default is to NOT
1316 move tags automatically.
1317 tag: Added "-F" option to move the tag if it
1318 already exists -- new default is to NOT
1319 move tags automatically.

1323 * Changes between CVS 1.3 Beta-3 and official CVS 1.3!
1325 * A new shell script is provided, "./cvsinit", which can be run at
1326 install time to help setup your $CVSROOT area. This can greatly
1327 ease your entry into CVS usage.
1329 * The INSTALL file has been updated to include the machines on
1330 which CVS has compiled successfully. I think CVS 1.3 is finally
1331 portable. Thanks to all the Beta testers!
1333 * Support for the "editinfo" file was contributed. This file
1334 (located in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT) can be used to specify a special
1335 "editor" to run on a per-directory basis within the repository,
1336 instead of the usual user's editor. As such, it can verify that
1337 the log message entered by the user is of the appropriate form
1338 (contains a bugid and test validation, for example).
1340 * The manual pages cvs(1) and cvs(5) have been updated.
1342 * The "mkmodules" command now informs you when your modules file
1343 has duplicate entries.
1345 * The "add" command now preserves any per-directory sticky tag when
1346 you add a new directory to your checked-out sources.
1348 * The "admin" command is now a fully recursive interface to the
1349 "rcs" program which operates on your checked-out sources. It no
1350 longer requires you to specify the full path to the RCS file.
1352 * The per-file sticky tags can now be effectively removed with
1353 "cvs update -A file", even if you had checked out the whole
1354 directory with a per-directory sticky tag. This allows a great
1355 deal of flexibility in managing the revisions that your checked-out
1356 sources are based upon (both per-directory and per-file sticky
1359 * The "cvs -n commit" command now works, to show which files are
1360 out-of-date and will cause the real commit to fail, or which files
1361 will fail any pre-commit checks. Also, the "cvs -n import ..."
1362 command will now show you what it would've done without actually
1365 * Doing "cvs commit modules" to checkin the modules file will no
1366 properly run the "mkmodules" program (assuming you have setup your
1367 $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/modules file to do so).
1369 * The -t option in the modules file (which specifies a program to
1370 run when you do a "cvs rtag" operation on a module) now gets the
1371 symbolic tag as the second argument when invoked.
1373 * When the source repository is locked by another user, that user's
1374 login name will be displayed as the holder of the lock.
1376 * Doing "cvs checkout module/file.c" now works even if
1377 module/file.c is in the Attic (has been removed from main-line
1380 * Doing "cvs commit */Makefile" now works as one would expect.
1381 Rather than trying to commit everything recursively, it will now
1382 commit just the files specified.
1384 * The "cvs remove" command is now fully recursive. To schedule a
1385 file for removal, all you have to do is "rm file" and "cvs rm".
1386 With no arguments, "cvs rm" will schedule all files that have been
1387 physically removed for removal from the source repository at the
1390 * The "cvs tag" command now prints "T file" for each file that was
1391 tagged by this invocation and "D file" for each file that had the
1392 tag removed (as with "cvs tag -d").
1394 * The -a option has been added to "cvs rtag" to force it to clean
1395 up any old, matching tags for files that have been removed (in the
1396 Attic) that may not have been touched by this tag operation. This
1397 can help keep a consistent view with your tag, even if you re-use
1400 Sat Feb 29 16:02:05 1992 Brian Berliner (berliner at sun.com)
1402 * Changes between CVS 1.3 Beta-2 and CVS 1.3 Beta-3
1404 * Many portability fixes, thanks to all the Beta testers! With any
1405 luck, this Beta release will compile correctly on most anything.
1406 Hey, what are we without our dreams.
1408 * CVS finally has support for doing isolated development on a
1409 branch off the current (or previous!) revisions. This is also
1410 extremely nice for generating patches for previously released
1411 software while development is progressing on the next release.
1412 Here's an example of creating a branch to fix a patch with the 2.0
1413 version of the "foo" module, even though we are already well into
1414 the 3.0 release. Do:
1416 % cvs rtag -b -rFOO_2_0 FOO_2_0_Patch foo
1417 % cvs checkout -rFOO_2_0_Patch foo
1422 A physical branch will be created in the RCS file only when you
1423 actually commit the change. As such, forking development at some
1424 random point in time is extremely light-weight -- requiring just a
1425 symbolic tag in each file until a commit is done. To fork
1426 development at the currently checked out sources, do:
1428 % cvs tag -b Personal_Hack
1429 % cvs update -rPersonal_Hack
1433 Now, if you decide you want the changes made in the Personal_Hack
1434 branch to be merged in with other changes made in the main-line
1435 development, you could do:
1437 % cvs commit # to make Personal_Hack complete
1438 % cvs update -A # to update sources to main-line
1439 % cvs update -jPersonal_Hack # to merge Personal_Hack
1441 to update your checked-out sources, or:
1443 % cvs checkout -jPersonal_Hack module
1445 to checkout a fresh copy.
1447 To support this notion of forked development, CVS reserves
1448 all even-numbered branches for its own use. In addition, CVS
1449 reserves the ".0" and ".1" branches. So, if you intend to do your
1450 own branches by hand with RCS, you should use odd-numbered branches
1451 starting with ".3", as in "1.1.3", "1.1.5", 1.2.9", ....
1453 * The "cvs commit" command now supports a fully functional -r
1454 option, allowing you to commit your changes to a specific numeric
1455 revision or symbolic tag with full consistency checks. Numeric
1456 tags are useful for bringing your sources all up to some revision
1461 For symbolic tags, you can only commit to a tag that references a
1462 branch in the RCS file. One created by "cvs rtag -b" or from
1463 "cvs tag -b" is appropriate (see below).
1465 * Roland Pesch <pesch@cygnus.com> and K. Richard Pixley
1466 <rich@cygnus.com> were kind enough to contribute two new manual
1467 pages for CVS: cvs(1) and cvs(5). Most of the new CVS 1.3 features
1468 are now documented, with the exception of the new branch support
1469 added to commit/rtag/tag/checkout/update.
1471 * The -j options of checkout/update have been added. The "cvs join"
1472 command has been removed.
1474 With one -j option, CVS will merge the changes made between the
1475 resulting revision and the revision that it is based on (e.g., if
1476 the tag refers to a branch, CVS will merge all changes made in
1477 that branch into your working file).
1479 With two -j options, CVS will merge in the changes between the two
1480 respective revisions. This can be used to "remove" a certain delta
1481 from your working file. E.g., If the file foo.c is based on
1482 revision 1.6 and I want to remove the changes made between 1.3 and
1485 % cvs update -j1.5 -j1.3 foo.c # note the order...
1487 In addition, each -j option can contain on optional date
1488 specification which, when used with branches, can limit the chosen
1489 revision to one within a specific date. An optional date is
1490 specified by adding a colon (:) to the tag, as in:
1492 -jSymbolic_Tag:Date_Specifier
1494 An example might be what "cvs import" tells you to do when you have
1495 just imported sources that have conflicts with local changes:
1497 % cvs checkout -jTAG:yesterday -jTAG module
1499 which tells CVS to merge in the changes made to the branch
1500 specified by TAG in the last 24 hours. If this is not what is
1501 intended, substitute "yesterday" for whatever format of date that
1502 is appropriate, like:
1504 % cvs checkout -jTAG:'1 week ago' -jTAG module
1506 * "cvs diff" now supports the special tags "BASE" and "HEAD". So,
1509 % cvs diff -u -rBASE -rHEAD
1511 will effectively show the changes made by others (in unidiff
1512 format) that will be merged into your working sources with your
1513 next "cvs update" command. "-rBASE" resolves to the revision that
1514 your working file is based on. "-rHEAD" resolves to the current
1515 head of the branch or trunk that you are working on.
1517 * The -P option of "cvs checkout" now means to Prune empty
1518 directories, as with "update". The default is to not remove empty
1519 directories. However, if you do "checkout" with any -r options, -P
1520 will be implied. I.e., checking out with a tag will cause empty
1521 directories to be pruned automatically.
1523 * The new file INSTALL describes how to install CVS, including
1524 detailed descriptions of interfaces to "configure".
1526 * The example loginfo file in examples/loginfo has been updated to
1527 use the perl script included in contrib/log.pl. The nice thing
1528 about this log program is that it records the revision numbers of
1529 your change in the log message.
1531 Example files for commitinfo and rcsinfo are now included in the
1534 * All "#if defined(__STDC__) && __STDC__ == 1" lines have been
1535 changed to be "#if __STDC__" to fix some problems with the former.
1537 * The lib/regex.[ch] files have been updated to the 1.3 release of
1538 the GNU regex package.
1540 * The ndbm emulation routines included with CVS 1.3 Beta-2 in the
1541 src/ndbm.[ch] files has been moved into the src/myndbm.[ch] files
1542 to avoid any conflict with the system <ndbm.h> header file. If
1543 you had a previous CVS 1.3 Beta release, you will want to "cvs
1544 remove ndbm.[ch]" form your copy of CVS as well.
1546 * "cvs add" and "cvs remove" are a bit more verbose, telling you
1547 what to do to add/remove your file permanently.
1549 * We no longer mess with /dev/tty in "commit" and "add".
1551 * More things are quiet with the -Q option set.
1553 * New src/config.h option: If CVS_BADROOT is set, CVS will not
1554 allow people really logged in as "root" to commit changes.
1556 * "cvs diff" exits with a status of 0 if there were no diffs, 1 if
1557 there were diffs, and 2 if there were errors.
1559 * "cvs -n diff" is now supported so that you can still run diffs
1560 even while in the middle of committing files.
1562 * Handling of the CVS/Entries file is now much more robust.
1564 * The default file ignore list now includes "*.so".
1566 * "cvs import" did not expand '@' in the log message correctly. It
1567 does now. Also, import now uses the ignore file facility
1570 Import will now tell you whether there were conflicts that need to
1571 be resolved, and how to resolve them.
1573 * "cvs log" has been changed so that you can "log" things that are
1574 not a part of the current release (in the Attic).
1576 * If you don't change the editor message on commit, CVS now prompts
1577 you with the choice:
1579 !)reuse this message unchanged for remaining dirs
1581 which allows you to tell CVS that you have no intention of changing
1582 the log message for the remainder of the commit.
1584 * It is no longer necessary to have CVSROOT set if you are using
1585 the -H option to get Usage information on the commands.
1587 * Command argument changes:
1588 checkout: -P handling changed as described above.
1589 New -j option (up to 2 can be specified)
1590 for doing rcsmerge kind of things on
1592 commit: -r option now supports committing to a
1593 numeric or symbolic tags, with some
1594 restrictions. Full consistency checks will
1596 Added "-f logfile" option, which tells
1597 commit to glean the log message from the
1598 specified file, rather than invoking the
1600 rtag: Added -b option to create a branch tag,
1601 useful for creating a patch for a previous
1602 release, or for forking development.
1603 tag: Added -b option to create a branch tag,
1604 useful for creating a patch for a previous
1605 release, or for forking development.
1606 update: New -j option (up to 2 can be specified)
1607 for doing rcsmerge kind of things on
1610 Thu Jan 9 10:51:35 MST 1992 Jeff Polk (polk at BSDI.COM)
1612 * Changes between CVS 1.3 Beta-1 and CVS 1.3 Beta-2
1614 * Thanks to K. Richard Pixley at Cygnus we now have function
1615 prototypes in all the files
1617 * Some small changes to configure for portability. There have
1618 been other portability problems submitted that have not been fixed
1619 (Brian will be working on those). Additionally all __STDC__
1620 tests have been modified to check __STDC__ against the constant 1
1621 (this is what the Second edition of K&R says must be true).
1623 * Lots of additional error checking for forked processes (run_exec)
1624 (thanks again to K. Richard Pixley)
1626 * Lots of miscellaneous bug fixes - including but certainly not
1628 various commit core dumps
1629 various update core dumps
1630 bogus results from status with numeric sticky tags
1631 commitprog used freed memory
1632 Entries file corruption caused by No_Difference
1633 commit to revision broken (now works if branch exists)
1634 ignore file processing broken for * and !
1635 ignore processing didn't handle memory reasonably
1636 miscellaneous bugs in the recursion processor
1637 file descriptor leak in ParseInfo
1638 CVSROOT.adm->CVSROOT rename bug
1641 * Reformatted all the code in src (with GNU indent) and then
1642 went back and fixed prototypes, etc since indent gets confused. The
1643 rationale is that it is better to do it sooner than later and now
1644 everything is consistent and will hopefully stay that way.
1645 The basic options to indent were: "-bad -bbb -bap -cdb -d0 -bl -bli0
1646 -nce -pcs -cs -cli4 -di1 -nbc -psl -lp -i4 -ip4 -c41" and then
1647 miscellaneous formatting fixes were applied. Note also that the
1648 "-nfc1" or "-nfca" may be appropriate in files where comments have
1649 been carefully formatted (e.g, modules.c).
1651 Sat Dec 14 20:35:22 1991 Brian Berliner (berliner at sun.com)
1653 * Changes between CVS 1.2 and CVS 1.3 Beta are described here.
1655 * Lots of portability work. CVS now uses the GNU "configure"
1656 script to dynamically determine the features provided by your
1657 system. It probably is not foolproof, but it is better than
1658 nothing. Please let me know of any portability problems. Some
1659 file names were changed to fit within 14-characters.
1661 * CVS has a new RCS parser that is much more flexible and
1662 extensible. It should read all known RCS ",v" format files.
1664 * Most of the commands now are fully recursive, rather than just
1665 operating on the current directory alone. This includes "commit",
1666 which makes it real easy to do an "atomic" commit of all the
1667 changes made to a CVS hierarchy of sources. Most of the commands
1668 also correctly handle file names that are in directories other than
1669 ".", including absolute path names. Commands now accept the "-R"
1670 option to force recursion on (though it is always the default now)
1671 and the "-l" option to force recursion off, doing just "." and not
1672 any sub-directories.
1674 * CVS supports many of the features provided with the RCS 5.x
1675 distribution - including the new "-k" keyword expansion options. I
1676 recommend using RCS 5.x (5.6 is the current official RCS version)
1677 and GNU diff 1.15 (or later) distributions with CVS.
1679 * Checking out files with symbolic tags/dates is now "sticky", in
1680 that CVS remembers the tag/date used for each file (and directory)
1681 and will use that tag/date automatically on the next "update" call.
1682 This stickyness also holds for files checked out with the the new
1683 RCS 5.x "-k" options.
1685 * The "cvs diff" command now recognizes all of the rcsdiff 5.x
1686 options. Unidiff format is available by installing the GNU
1687 diff 1.15 distribution.
1689 * The old "CVS.adm" directories created on checkout are now called
1690 "CVS" directories, to look more like "RCS" and "SCCS". Old CVS.adm
1691 directories are automagically converted to CVS directories. The
1692 old "CVSROOT.adm" directory within the source repository is
1693 automagically changed into a "CVSROOT" directory as well.
1695 * Symbolic links in the source repository are fully supported ONLY
1696 if you use RCS 5.6 or later and (of course) your system supports
1699 * A history database has been contributed which maintains the
1700 history of certain CVS operations, as well as providing a wide array
1701 of querying options.
1703 * The "cvs" program has a "-n" option which can be used with the
1704 "update" command to show what would be updated without actually
1705 doing the update, like: "cvs -n update". All usage statements
1706 have been cleaned up and made more verbose.
1708 * The module database parsing has been rewritten. The new format
1709 is compatible with the old format, but with much more
1710 functionality. It allows modules to be created that grab pieces or
1711 whole directories from various different parts of your source
1712 repository. Module-relative specifications are also correctly
1713 recognized now, like "cvs checkout module/file.c".
1715 * A configurable template can be specified such that on a "commit",
1716 certain directories can supply a template that the user must fill
1717 before completing the commit operation.
1719 * A configurable pre-commit checking program can be specified which
1720 will run to verify that a "commit" can happen. This feature can be
1721 used to restrict certain users from changing certain pieces of the
1722 source repository, or denying commits to the entire source
1725 * The new "cvs export" command is much like "checkout", but
1726 establishes defaults suitable for exporting code to others (expands
1727 out keywords, forces the use of a symbolic tag, and does not create
1728 "CVS" directories within the checked out sources.
1730 * The new "cvs import" command replaces the deprecated "checkin"
1731 shell script and is used to import sources into CVS control. It is
1732 also much faster for the first-time import. Some algorithmic
1733 improvements have also been made to reduce the number of
1734 conflicting files on next-time imports.
1736 * The new "cvs admin" command is basically an interface to the
1737 "rcs" program. (Not yet implemented very well).
1739 * Signal handling (on systems with BSD or POSIX signals) is much
1740 improved. Interrupting CVS now works with a single interrupt!
1742 * CVS now invokes RCS commands by direct fork/exec rather than
1743 calling system(3). This improves performance by removing a call to
1744 the shell to parse the arguments.
1746 * Support for the .cvsignore file has been contributed. CVS will
1747 now show "unknown" files as "? filename" as the result of an "update"
1748 command. The .cvsignore file can be used to add files to the
1749 current list of ignored files so that they won't show up as unknown.
1751 * Command argument changes:
1752 cvs: Added -l to turn off history logging.
1753 Added -n to show what would be done without actually
1755 Added -q/-Q for quiet and really quiet settings.
1756 Added -t to show debugging trace.
1757 add: Added -k to allow RCS 5.x -k options to be specified.
1758 admin: New command; an interface to rcs(1).
1759 checkout: Added -A to reset sticky tags/date/options.
1760 Added -N to not shorten module paths.
1761 Added -R option to force recursion.
1762 Changed -p (prune empty directories) to -P option.
1763 Changed -f option; forcing tags match is now default.
1764 Added -p option to checkout module to standard output.
1765 Added -s option to cat the modules db with status.
1766 Added -d option to checkout in the specified directory.
1767 Added -k option to use RCS 5.x -k support.
1768 commit: Removed -a option; use -l instead.
1770 Added -l option to disable recursion.
1771 Added -R option to force recursion.
1772 If no files specified, commit is recursive.
1773 diff: Now recognizes all RCS 5.x rcsdiff options.
1774 Added -l option to disable recursion.
1775 Added -R option to force recursion.
1776 history: New command; displays info about CVS usage.
1777 import: Replaces "checkin" shell script; imports sources
1778 under CVS control. Ignores files on the ignore
1779 list (see -I option or .cvsignore description above).
1780 export: New command; like "checkout", but w/special options
1781 turned on by default to facilitate exporting sources.
1782 join: Added -B option to join from base of the branch;
1783 join now defaults to only joining with the top two
1784 revisions on the branch.
1785 Added -k option for RCS 5.x -k support.
1786 log: Supports all RCS 5.x options.
1787 Added -l option to disable recursion.
1788 Added -R option to force recursion.

1792 Added -V option to support RCS specific-version
1793 keyword expansion formats.
1794 Added -R option to force recursion.
1795 remove: No option changes. It's a bit more verbose.

1814 * Jeff Polk <polk@bsdi.com> rewrote most of the grody code of CVS
1815 1.2. He made just about everything dynamic (by using malloc),
1816 added a generic hashed list manager, re-wrote the modules database
1817 parsing in a compatible - but extended way, generalized directory
1818 hierarchy recursion for virtually all the commands (including
1819 commit!), generalized the loginfo file to be used for pre-commit
1820 checks and commit templates, wrote a new and flexible RCS parser,
1821 fixed an uncountable number of bugs, and helped in the design of
1822 future CVS features. If there's anything gross left in CVS, it's
1825 * David G. Grubbs <dgg@odi.com> contributed the CVS "history" and
1826 "release" commands. As well as the ever-so-useful "-n" option of
1827 CVS which tells CVS to show what it would do, without actually
1828 doing it. He also contributed support for the .cvsignore file.
1830 * Paul Sander, HaL Computer Systems, Inc. <paul@hal.com> wrote and
1831 contributed the code in lib/sighandle.c. I added support for
1832 POSIX, BSD, and non-POSIX/non-BSD systems.
1834 * Free Software Foundation contributed the "configure" script and
1835 other compatibility support in the "lib" directory, which will help
1836 make CVS much more portable.
1838 * Many others have contributed bug reports and enhancement requests.
1839 Some have even submitted actual code which I have not had time yet
1840 to integrate into CVS. Maybe for the next release.
1842 * Thanks to you all!

1846 * Changes from CVS 1.0 Patchlevel 1 to CVS 1.0 Patchlevel 2; also
1847 known as "Changes from CVS 1.1 to CVS 1.2".
1849 * Major new support with this release is the ability to use the
1850 recently-posted RCS 5.5 distribution with CVS 1.2. See below for
1851 other assorted bug-fixes that have been thrown in.
1853 * ChangeLog (new): Added Emacs-style change-log file to CVS 1.2
1854 release. Chronological description of changes between release.
1856 * README: Small fixes to installation instructions. My email
1857 address is now "berliner@sun.com".
1859 * src/Makefile: Removed "rcstime.h". Removed "depend" rule.
1861 * src/partime.c: Updated to RCS 5.5 version with hooks for CVS.
1862 * src/maketime.c: Updated to RCS 5.5 version with hooks for CVS.
1863 * src/rcstime.h: Removed from the CVS 1.2 distribution.
1864 Thanks to Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> for these changes.
1866 * src/checkin.csh: Support for RCS 5.5 parsing.
1867 Thanks to Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> for this change.
1869 * src/collect_sets.c (Collect_Sets): Be quieter if "-f" option is
1870 specified. When checking out files on-top-of other files that CVS
1871 doesn't know about, run a diff in the hopes that they are really
1872 the same file before aborting.
1874 * src/commit.c (branch_number): Fix for RCS 5.5 parsing.
1875 Thanks to Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> for this change.
1877 * src/commit.c (do_editor): Bug fix - fprintf missing argument
1878 which sometimes caused core dumps.
1880 * src/modules.c (process_module): Properly NULL-terminate
1881 update_dir[] in all cases.
1883 * src/no_difference.c (No_Difference): The wrong RCS revision was
1884 being registered in certain (strange) cases.
1886 * src/patch.c (get_rcsdate): New algorithm. No need to call
1887 maketime() any longer.
1888 Thanks to Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> for this change.
1890 * src/patchlevel.h: Increased patch level to "2".
1892 * src/subr.c (isdir, islink): Changed to compare stat mode bits
1895 * src/tag.c (tag_file): Added support for following symbolic links
1896 that are in the master source repository when tagging. Made tag
1897 somewhat quieter in certain cases.
1899 * src/update.c (update_process_lists): Unlink the user's file if it
1900 was put on the Wlist, meaning that the user's file is not modified
1901 and its RCS file has been removed by someone else.
1903 * src/update.c (update): Support for "cvs update dir" to correctly
1904 just update the argument directory "dir".
1906 * src/cvs.h: Fixes for RCS 5.5 parsing.
1907 * src/version_number.c (Version_Number): Fixes for parsing RCS 5.5
1908 and older RCS-format files.
1909 Thanks to Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> for these changes.
1911 * src/version_number.c (Version_Number): Bug fixes for "-f" option.
1912 Bug fixes for parsing with certain branch numbers. RCS
1913 revision/symbol parsing is much more solid now.
1915 Wed Feb 14 10:01:33 1990 Brian Berliner (berliner at sun.com)
1917 * Changes from CVS 1.0 Patchlevel 0 to CVS 1.0 Patchlevel 1; also
1918 known as "Changes from CVS 1.0 to CVS 1.1".
1920 * src/patch.c (get_rcsdate): Portability fix. Replaced call to
1921 timelocal() with call to maketime().

1925 * Sent CVS 1.0 release to comp.sources.unix moderator and FSF.
1927 * Special thanks to Dick Grune <dick@cs.vu.nl> for his work on the
1928 1986 version of CVS and making it available to the world. Dick's
1929 version is available on uunet.uu.net in the
1930 comp.sources.unix/volume6/cvs directory.
