[darcs-users] darcs weekly news #7

[Eric Kow]

News and discussions
--------------------
1. Darcs 2.1.0 released!  With 20 bug fixes and 7 new features.  Notable
   changes: darcs-2 repositories by default, HTTP robustness and better
   pending patch handling.
   * http://www.darcs.net/darcs-2.1.0.tar.gz
   * http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/darcs-users/2008-October/014504.html

2. Optimising darcs annotate.  Darcs annotate is too slow.  Proposed solution:
   create a cache mapping filenames to patches.  Stay tuned for fast annotate
   in the future...

3. Eleven new contributors since darcs 2.0.2.  Thanks, Alex, Florent, Gaetan,
   Judah, Matthias, Max, Nathaniel, Steve, Taylor, Thorkil, and Vlad!
