- 02 Apr 2008 04:11
Changes: This version brings automatic merging of local and remote changes with conflict marking (and an explicit "resolve" command). Updates can be restricted to a subset of URLs (if you're using multiple). Note that this cannot be done for a subset of the working copy. The filter option "text" now means removed entries too. "urls dump" can now work verbosely to produce more human-readable output. "checkout" now prints the entries as they're checked out. The user gets better messages on wrong options. Compatibility with Solaris was improved.
