svk 1.00 is released.

[Chia-liang Kao <clkao@clkao.org>]

Hi all,

I am delighted to announce 1.00 release of svk, and I would like
to thank all the people who helped, complained, and are here with
me in the Party Release today.  Special thanks goes to Best Practical
Solutions for the multiple sponsorship in the past, and to Fotango,
my employer, who provides hosting for svk.elixus.org now.

Full release notes is attached below.  Enjoy.

Meanwhile, there will be Release Party this Thursday in London,
in the form of a London Perl Monger emergency meeting.

See http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20050509/date.html

Please also feel free to host Release Parties around your area.

Thank you all, again, who make this possible.

Cheers,
CLK

The svk team is pround to introduce svk 1.0: a fast, easy-to-use, and
full-featured distributed version control system, which also
interoperates with other systems such as CVS and Perforce.

svk uses the rock-solid and efficient Subversion filesystem as
underlying storage.  It allows you to commit and view logs while
offline, provides history-sensitive merge, and you can use existing
Subversion repository transparently with svk.

To learn more about svk, visit http://svk.elixus.org/

Changes since 1.0rc2:

* Fix backspace in prompt function for certain terminals.

* Fix the case that when checkout creates parent directory for you,
  the state wasn't properly flushed due to inappropriate lock.

* Document --file for everything that supports --message. [matthewd]

Downloading and Installing

System requirement:

Perl 5.8.1 or later
Subversion 1.0.7 or later.

Note: You don't need them if you are using binary package for win32 or
Mac OS X.

Installing svk

Downlaod the binary package from svk.elixus.org.

For source installation, refer to README in the distribution.

Known issues

Here are a list a known problems in svk 1.00:

* The VCP support, which allows you to mirror from CVS and Perforce,
  is still considered beta quaity.  And it doesn't work on win32.

* If you use condensed mirror, such as answering 'h' in the prompt for
  mirroring the head revision, you need to be careful not to mirror a
  path contains "copies" inside.  For example, using condensed mirror
  for svn://svn.clkao.org/svk/trunk is fine, but for
  svn://svn.clkao.org/svk is not.

* You can't move a mirrored path.
