Hi darcs users and developpers,
I'm glad to announce that darcs 2.8 beta 1 has been uploaded to hackage,
which means you can install it by doing: cabal install darcs-beta. The
source tarball is also available at
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/darcs-beta/2.7.98.1/darcs-beta-2.7.98.1.tar.gz.
See the bottom of the message for what's new in 2.8. Please test this,
and report any issues to bugs.darcs.net.
Enjoy your new darcs (and your day too)
Florent

>
> Note that this patch does not compress attached patches, for the sake
> of backward-compatibility. But it does resolve the points of issue1350:
> hide context when reviewing a patch and ensure a reliable transport with
> application/x-darcs-patch instead of text/x-darcs-patch.

> Wed Aug 25 19:30:45 CEST 2010 Dmitry Astapov <dastapov at gmail.com>
> * Fix for issue1932
> Do _not_ check for colons in "isRelative" - everything is covered
> inside Add.lhs and governed by use of "--reserved-ok" option.
>
> Replace isRelative and isAbsolute with functions from System.FilePath
> for correct handling of platform specifics.
>
> Wed Aug 25 17:21:35 CEST 2010 Eric Kow <kowey at darcs.net>
> * Raise base package dependency to >= 4 (keeping it < 5).

> Fri Aug 13 07:54:54 CEST 2010 Jason Dagit <dagit at codersbase.com>
> * dramatically improve the parser performance
> This puts the parser's performance back to where it was before the
> move to a Parsec-like API. The cruxt of the fix was to implement
> linesStartingWith as a primitive instead of implementing it using
> other parser primitives. Several other tricks are included, such as
> using strict tuples that are partially specialized.
