Hi everybody, I have just pushed a few patches (including some older ones by Radek and me, plus a number of newer ones). Notable changes include: - I did a number of code cleanups, and also switched to Java 5 source format (so that we can use generics for more type safety) and to Eclipse 3.2 (see below). - Renamed Current to Pristine (a change in the Darcs repo format, since Darcs 1.0.7 - both Darcs and EclipseDarcs are of course backwards compatible and can deal with the old repo format). - You can now watch the output from the Darcs commands directly in the Console. Open the Console View and select 'Darcs commands' from the View menu. - There are new actions for 'darcs check' and 'darcs repair'. In addition, I have re-organized the context menu entries and added placeholder for other things that are not yet implemented (e.g. optimized etc.). So far I have not managed to get these actions to correctly show up in the 'Team' menu, I'm working on that one. - actions for recording and reverting from the synchronize view The reason why I have started this sudden activism has to do with the imminent Eclipse 3.2 release. Actually, Eclipse 3.2 is finished, but since eclipse.org wants to do a simultaneous release of ten eclipse.org projects (which all depend on Eclipse 3.2 and therefore still need to do some adjustments), the eventual release will only be at the end of this month (and, fitting to current vogue, that release has a fancy and useless code name too, namely "Callisto" ;-). Now, when this 'Callisto' release happens, there will be a number of different download offers on the eclipse.org website. They will include only Eclipse 3.2 and the software from eclipse.org mostly. The notable exception is the Yoxos distribution (which is done by my company). It will be present on the eclipse.org download site and it includes plugins from all over the community, including EclipseDarcs :-). I think this is a great chance to get a slice of awareness for Darcs and EclipseDarcs. However, the thing is that the plugin must be ready for Eclipse 3.2 - now. And voila - I think I have just made that sure :-) (Hope I haven't introduced too many bugs thereby ... ;-). I have named the current state 0.2.3 and I'll see that this (or possibly another build that we may do in the next days, if necessary) goes into the distribution. Of course I'll also put that build to the usual update site (http://leiffrenzel.eu/eclipse). Apart from that, I also have some more experimental code, which I don't think is fit for anything :-( I'll give you an update about the happenings on the record-front in one of the next mails. Ciao, Leif |
