[Monotone-devel] [RFC] new guitone version

[Thomas Keller]

Hi all!

A new version of guitone will probably popup in the next couple of days 
(as soon as mtn 0.32 is released and I got all bugs fixed), for this I 
just pushed 016789f5b4600b8cd1516ed83d59eb09a28dfc7d to venge.net, which 
should be pretty much feature complete.
However, my problem is that I can only test on OSX, as I don't have a 
Linux or even working Windows installation floating around. Some new 
features (f.e. open files on double click, menu options) may or may not 
work correctly on different platforms, but I can't fix that until I get 
feedback from users on these platforms. So before guitone is announced 
on all different channels and binaries are built aso., I'd like you to 
check it out. You need an up-to-date mtn (interface version at least 
4.0) and Qt 4.2 ready to build. I can supply an OSX static app bundle if 
there is the need for something like that, other than that you're pretty 
much on your own, since Ingo, the Windows guy, hasn't had time recently 
to check if it runs at all there, so there might be crashes...

So, finally, here is an excerpt of the ChangeLog for what should become 
0.5. Since my wedding is this Saturday I won't be around much until 
Sunday evening CET, so please be patient with your emails. Other than 
that you can also enter bugs/suggestions/whatever into the bugtracker on 
berlios.de[0].

Thanks for your patience!

Thomas.

????-??-?? (0.5)
 - new: completion support in the switch workspace revision dialog's input
 - new: key management dialog which includes the possibility to 
generate new keys
   and some simple clipboard copy functionality
 - new: if there are uncommitted changes, the appropriate dirs and 
files are
   recursively printed bold
 - new: possibility to open files from guitone with the default 
registered program
 - new: file diff dialog which shows differences in individual files in 
context
   and with a nice bar on the right
 - new: revision diff dialog which shows all differences in a selected dir
   (context: "Diff all")
 - new: about dialog for contact info and license display
 - improved: more view states available - its now possible to only show 
the file/tree
   view with files of a certain state
 - improved: default actions (item doubleclick) are now visualized with 
bold text
 - improved: mtn version is now checked also on program startup, 
additionally
   the output of interface_version is taken into consideration (if a 
recent version
   of guitone needs a recent version of monotone which is yet 
unreleased, the
   interface_version is already bumped, the release version probably 
not...)
 - fixed: do not read attributes for deleted items
 - fixed: removed "one level up" label in favor of much simpler ".."
 - fixed: file/folder list is now sorted ascending by default
 - fixed: osx: about and preferences dialogs should be properly put 
into the app menu
   (yet untranslated, however)
 - fixed: utf8 data (filenames, ...) should now work proper with the 
monotone wrapper
 - internal: code cleanup and tons of minor bugfixes
 - internal: guitone should now also compile cleanly without pch 
enabled, also made this
   more verbose and error-prone for universal builds where pch need to 
be disabled
 - internal: moved codebase into a subdir config to support easy 
drop-ins of external
   libraries, libqanava should have been the first giving guitone a 
fancy graphical
   revision view, but this didn't work because the software is still 
incomplete and
   thus was removed
 - other: guitone now comes with a script which creates on demand a 
monolithic OSX
   application package after build (it copies and relinks all needed Qt 
libraries)
