Hi,
The darcs team is pleased to announce the release of darcs 2.5.2, a
minor upgrade for the 2.5 release.
This release bumps the parsec dependency that was missed in 2.5.1,
ensuring full compatibility with the recent 2011.2.0.0 release. It also
fixes a nasty regression from 2.4 where darcs allowed you to add files
inside boring directories to the repository.
Installing
----------
The easiest way to install darcs 2.5.2 from source is by first
installing the Haskell Platform (http://www.haskell.org/platform). If
you have installed the Haskell Platform or cabal-install, you can
install this release by doing:
$ cabal update
$ cabal install darcs-2.5.2
Alternatively, you can download the tarball from
http://darcs.net/releases/darcs-2.5.2.tar.gz and build it by hand as
explained in the README file.
Versions of GHC from 6.10.x to 7.0.x are supported.
The 2.5 branch is also available as a darcs repository from
http://darcs.net/releases/branch-2.5
Binaries
--------
These will be posted to http://wiki.darcs.net/Binaries as they become
available.
Reporting bugs
--------------
If you have an issue with darcs 2.5.2, you can report it via the web on
http://bugs.darcs.net/ . You can also report bugs by email to bugs at
darcs.net.
Changelog
---------
* Bump parsec dependency to support 3.1
* Refuse to add files that are inside boring directories
This was a regression from the 2.4 series and led to broken patches
because the parent directory was not added.
