CVSNT 2.5.05 (Gan) Build 3649 (RC1) You can download this release from: http://www.evscm.org/modules/Downloads/#testrel I've rushed this out so that Torsten can include the latest release in TortoiseCVS.

Our builds are made on Mac OS 10.5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Windows 7 (using Visual Studio 2008). Windows XP SP2 is the OLDEST operating system we will address community bug reports for. As always we do not provide comprehensive release notes for community releases. If you want to know everything that has changed between your current release and this release - please look at the source code. We CAN and DO provide comprehensive release notes for our CVS Suite customers - because the development process is managed differently. Known bugs: ----------------------- On windows the hyperlinks in the advertising message do not work Latest documentation: ----------------------- http://www.cvsnt.org/manual_testing_2.5 Description: -------------- The first (and final?) RC of 2.5.05 was released today. This resolves all issues reported on support.cvsnt to date. Several developers, some employed by March Hare Software, regularly add features to the CVSNT_2_0_x branch of the source and March Hare Software irregularly create builds for testing (usually at least Red Hat Linux and Windows x32) which are checked with the test scripts in cvsnt/testcvs. A build is declared stable after that version has been running on cvs.cvsnt.org for a period of time with no reports of errors on the support.cvsnt newsgroup. 2009 is the 5 year anniversary of March Hare Software's sponsorship of the project - taking the project from before 2.0.51 through 2.0.6x, 2.5.01, 2.5.02, 2.5.03 and the current stable 2.5.04 and now stable 2.5.05 releases. In particular we have sponsored features including: failsafe audit, user-defined changesets (including merge by changeset), fine-grained access control (ACL) and distributed multi-site repostiories (write through proxy). The 2.5.05 releases are designed for community use, ie: the basis for testing and development by the open source community. In no way does anyone guarentee or warrant that this software is suitable for any commercial purpose. If you require a commercial grade / quality tested version control solution please purchase CVS Suite from the web site. There are several commercial GUI's and Visual Studio add-ins which work with CVSNT, however only sales of CVS Suite provide the funding for the project. Bug fixes and 'open source' support will only be provided for builds on the CVSNT_2_0_x branch. If you are maintaining a separate build (eg: debian) then it is this branch only that you should apply patches to. Release Plan: -------------- 2.5.05 will be the first release where unicode is the 'default' installation mode on windows. This has been activated on this the first RC release. If no issues are reported with this build I will endeavour to produce the stable before end of December 2009. Regards, Arthur Barrett
