CVSNT 2.5.01 (Travis) Release build 1910
Uploading to releasse servers may take a short while. Release notes are
as follows:
· (Win32) MSI installer. It may be necessary to do uninstall the old
version before installing this version. The old innosetup installer is
still being maintained and is available at
http://web.telia.com/~u86216177/cvsntinstaller.html
· (Win32) Optional support for case sensitive servers. A device driver
is required for this which is available for CVSNT commercial support
customers and to other by arrangement with March-Hare Software.
· (Win32) Server is now a Unicode application.
· (Win32) Experimental UTF8 server mode. This allows the greatest
compatibility for multilingual projects.
· (OSX) Resource fork support.
· (OSX) Installer now installs server and lockserver correctly.
· (OSX) OSX is now a primary supported platform.
· (Unix) PAM configuration file is now cvsnt not cvs (on most systems
rename /etc/pam.d/cvs to /etc/pam.d/cvsnt)
· Client now handles filename character set conversion by default when
talking to CVSNT servers.
· Threaded lockserver for better scalability.
· Advertisement by Rendezvous/Zeroconf when supported by the OS.
· Server plugin API. Applications can now tightly integrate with the
server execution.
· Commit helper scripts now handled as a plugin. The syntax has also
been extended. As a side effect pathnames must now use Unix-style
forward slashes ‘/’ not backslashes – some changes to existing
installations may be required on Win32 systems. In particular library
and COM references are only supported in the triggers files.
· ACL options ‘all’ and ‘none’.
· Cvswrappers supports ‘!’ to override default binary expansions. List
of known binary file types expanded.
· New expansion modes –kD for checking out files in DOS format, and –kM
for checking out files in Mac format.
· New command options: cvs passwd –p, cvs release –y.
· New commands: rchacl, rlsacl, rchown.
