vc-dwim-1.5 released [stable]

Item posted by Jim Meyering <meyering> on Fri 20 May 2011 06:53:42 AM UTC.

I fixed an annoying long-standing bug (details below), so here's 1.5.

In case you're wondering what this package does, see
http://www.gnu.org/software/vc-dwim/

Very briefly, there are two tools:
   vc-dwim is a version-control-agnostic ChangeLog diff and commit tool.
   vc-chlog is a helper tool for writing GNU-style ChangeLog entries.

Here are the compressed sources:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/vc-dwim/vc-dwim-1.5.tar.gz   (360KB)
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/vc-dwim/vc-dwim-1.5.tar.xz   (272KB)

Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/vc-dwim/vc-dwim-1.5.tar.gz.sig
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/vc-dwim/vc-dwim-1.5.tar.xz.sig

To reduce load on the main server, use a mirror listed at:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

[*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that
the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First,
be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball.
Then, run a command like this:

gpg --verify vc-dwim-1.5.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 000BEEEE

and rerun the `gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.68.68-2105
Automake 1.11a
Gnulib v0.0-4952-gfbfced5

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.5 (2011-05-20) [stable]

** Bug fixes

vc-dwim: when the added ChangeLog date-name-email header is identical
to the preceding one, vc-dwim would put that line at the end of the
commit log whenever diff output listed the new, topmost, header only
as context lines in the ChangeLog diff output. That bug is fixed.
