<h2>Changes for Version 1.36 (2016-10-24)</h2>
* Add support for [./unvers.wiki|unversioned content],
the [/help?cmd=unversioned|fossil unversioned] command and the
[/help?cmd=/uv|/uv] and [/uvlist] web pages.
* The [/uv/download.html|download page] is moved into
[./unvers.wiki|unversioned content] so that the self-hosting Fossil
websites no longer uses any external content.

the --tk option on the [/help?cmd=diff|diff] command.
* Added the "--checkin VERSION" option to the
[/help?cmd=diff|diff] command.
* Various performance enhancements to the [/help?cmd=diff|diff] command.
* Update internal Unicode character tables, used in regular expression
handling, from version 8.0 to 9.0.
* Update the built-in SQLite to version 3.15. Fossil now requires
the SQLITE_DBCONFIG_MAINDBNAME interface of SQLite which is only available
in SQLite version 3.15 and later and so Fossil will not work with
earlier SQLite versions.

* When markdown documents begin with <h1> HTML elements, use that
header at the document title.
* Added the [/help?cmd=/bigbloblist|/bigbloblist page].
* Enhance the [/help?cmd=/finfo|/finfo page] so that when it is showing

* Added the --page option to the [/help?cmd=ui|fossil ui] command
* Added the [/help?cmd=bisect|fossil bisect ui] command
* Enhanced the [/help?cmd=diff|fossil diff] command so that it accepts

[/help?cmd=rm|fossil rm].
<a name='v1_31'></a>
<h2>Changes For Version 1.31 (2015-02-23)</h2>
* Change the auxiliary schema by adding columns MLINK.ISAUX and MLINK.PMID
columns to the schema, to support better drawing of file change graphs.
A [/help?cmd=rebuild|fossil rebuild] is recommended but is not required.
so that the new graph drawing logic can work effectively.
* Added [/search|search] over Check-in comments, Documents, Tickets and
Wiki. Disabled by default. The search can be either a full-scan or it
can use an index that is kept up-to-date automatically. The new
/srchsetup web-page and the [/help?cmd=fts-config|fts-config] command
were added to help configure the search capability. Expect further
enhancements to the search capabilities in subsequent releases.
* Added form elements to some submenus (in particular the /timeline)
for easier operation.
* Added the --ifneeded option to [/help?cmd=rebuild|fossil rebuild].
* Added "override skins" using the "skin:" line of the CGI script or

* Embedded html documents that begin with
<doc class="fossil-doc"> are displayed with standard
headers and footers added.
* Allow <div style='...'> markup in [/wiki_rules|wiki].

* Improvements to the /login page. Some hyperlinks to pages that require
"anonymous" privileges are displayed even if the current user is "nobody"
but automatically redirect to /login.
* The [/help?cmd=/doc|/doc] web-page will now try to deliver the file
"404.md" from the top-level directory (if such a file exists) in
place of its built-in 404 text.
* Download of Tarballs and ZIP Archives by user "nobody" is now enabled
by default in new repositories.

* Add support for Docker. Just install docker and type
"sudo docker run -d -p 8080:8080 nijtmans/fossil" to get it running.
* Add the [/help/fusefs|fossil fusefs DIRECTORY] command that mounts a
Fuse Filesystem at the given DIRECTORY and populates it with read-only
copies of all historical check-ins. This only works on systems that
support FuseFS.
* Add the administrative log that records all configuration.
* Added the [/sitemap] webpage.
* Added the [/bloblist] web page.

[globalState]</nowiki> commands to TH1, primarily for use by TH1 hooks.
* Automatically adjust the width of command-line timeline output according to the
detected width of the terminal.
* Prompt the user to optionally fix invalid UTF-8 at check-in.
* Added a line-number toggle option to the [/help?cmd=/info|/info]
and [/help?cmd=/artifact|/artifact] pages.
* Most commands now issue errors rather than silently ignoring unrecognized
command-line options.

* Make the distinction between 301 and 302 redirects.
* Allow commits against a closed check-in as long as the commit goes onto
a different branch.
* Improved cache control in the web interface reduces unnecessary requests
for common resources like the page logo and CSS.
* Fix a rare and long-standing sync protocol bug
that would silently prevent the sync from running to completion. Before
this bug-fix it was sometimes necessary to do "fossil sync --verily" to
get two repositories in sync.
* Add the [/finfo?name=src/foci.c|files_of_checkin] virtual table - useful
for ad hoc queries in the [/help?cmd=sqlite3|fossil sql] interface,
and also used internally.
* Added the "$secureurl" TH1 variable for use in headers and footers.

diff option in a separate file for easier editing.
* (Internal:) Implement a system of compile-time checks to help ensure
the correctness of printf-style formatting strings.
* Fix CVE-2014-3566, also known as the POODLE SSL 3.0 vulnerability.
* Numerous documentation fixes and improvements.
* Other obscure and minor bug fixes - see the timeline for details.

* Add the ability to display content, diffs and annotations for UTF16
text files in the web interface.
* Add the "SaveAs..." and "Invert" buttons
to the graphical diff display that results
from using the --tk option with the [/help/diff | fossil diff] command.
* The [/reports] page now requires Read ("o") permissions. The "byweek"
report now properly propagates the selected year through the event type
filter links.
* The [/help/info | info command] now shows leaf status of the checkout.
* Add support for tunneling https through a http proxy (Ticket [e854101c4f]).
* Add option --empty to the "[/help?cmd=open | fossil open]" command.
* Enhanced [/help?cmd=/fileage|the fileage page] to support a glob parameter.

[/help?cmd=annotate|fossil annotate], [/help?cmd=blame|fossil blame],
[/help?cmd=diff|fossil (g)diff], [/help?cmd=stash|fossil stash diff].
* Add --strip-trailing-cr option to [/help?cmd=diff|fossil (g)diff] and
[/help?cmd=stash|fossil stash diff].

* Enhance the [/help?cmd=cat|fossil cat] command so that it works outside
of a checkout when using the -R command-line option.
* Use full-length SHA1 hashes, not abbreviations, in most hyperlinks.
* Correctly render the <title> markup on wiki pages in the
[/help?cmd=/artifact|/artifact] webpage.
* Enhance the [/help?cmd=whatis|fossil whatis] command to report on attachments
and cluster artifacts. Added the [/help?cmd=test-whatis-all] command for
testing purposes.
* Add support for HTTP Basic Authentication on [/help?cmd=clone|clone] and
[/help?cmd=sync|sync].
* Fix the [/help?cmd=stash|stash] so that it remembers added files and re-adds
them when the stash is applied.
* Fix the server so that it avoids writing to the database (and thus avoids
database locking issues) on a
[/help?cmd=pull|pull] or [/help?cmd=clone|clone].
* Add support for [./server.wiki#loadmgmt|server load management] using both
a cache of expensive pages (the [/help?cmd=cache|fossil cache] command)
and by rejecting expensive page requests when the server load average is too
high.
* Add the [/help?cmd=praise|fossil praise] command as an alias for
[/help?cmd=blame|fossil blame] for subversion compatibility.
* Enhance the [/help?cmd=test-diff|fossil test-diff] command with -y or --tk
options so that it shows both filenames above their respective columns in
the side-by-side diff output.

causes it to not create an initial empty commit. The first commit after
checking out a repo created this way will become the initial commit.
* Enhance sync operations by committing each round-trip to minimize number
of retransmits when autosync fails. Include option for
[/help?cmd=update| fossil update] and [/help?cmd=merge| fossil merge] to
continue even if missing content.
* Minor portability fixes for platforms where the char type is unsigned
by default.
<h2>Changes For Version 1.28 (2014-01-27)</h2>
* Enhance [/help?cmd=/reports | /reports] to support event type filtering.
* When cloning a repository, the user name passed via the URL (if any)
is now used as the default local admin user's name.
* Enhance the SSH transport mechanism so that it runs a single instance of
the "fossil" executable on the remote side, obviating the need for a shell
on the remote side. Some users may need to add the "?fossil=/path/to/fossil"
query parameter to "ssh:" URIs if their fossil binary is not in a standard
place.
* Add the "[/help?cmd=blame | fossil blame]" command that works just like
"fossil annotate" but uses a different output format that includes the
user who made each changes and omits line numbers.
* Add the "Tarball and ZIP-archive Prefix" configuration parameter under
Admin/Configuration.
* Fix CGI processing so that it works on web servers that do not
supply REQUEST_URI.
* Add options --dirsonly, --emptydirs, and --allckouts to the
"[/help?cmd=clean | fossil clean]" command.
* Ten-fold performance improvement in large "fossil blame" or
"fossil annotate" commands.
* Add option -W|--width and --offset to "[/help?cmd=timeline | fossil timeline]"
and "[/help?cmd=finfo | fossil finfo]" commands.
* Option -n|--limit of "[/help?cmd=timeline | fossil timeline]" now
specifies the number of entries, just like all other commands which
have the -n|--limit option. The various timeline-related functions
now output "--- ?? limit (??) reached ---" at the end whenever
appropriate. Use "-n 0" if no limit is desired.
* Fix handling of password embedded in Fossil URL.
* New <tt>--once</tt> option to [/help?cmd=clone | fossil clone] command
which does not store the URL or password when cloning.
* Modify [/help?cmd=ui | fossil ui] to respect "default user" in an open
repository.
* Fossil now hides check-ins that have the "hidden" tag in timeline webpages.
* Enhance <tt>/ci_edit</tt> page to add the "hidden" tag to check-ins.
* Advanced possibilities for commit and ticket change notifications over
http using TH1 scripting.
* Add --sha1sum and --integrate options
to the "[/help?cmd=commit | fossil commit]" command.
* Add the "clean" and "extra" subcommands to the
"[/help?cmd=all | fossil all]" command
* Add the --whatif option to "[/help?cmd=clean|fossil clean]" that works the
same as "--dry-run",
so that the name does not collide with the --dry-run option of "fossil all".
* Provide a configuration option to show dates on the web timeline
as "YYMMMDD HH:MM"
* Add an option to the "stats" webpage that allows an administrator to see
the current repository schema.
* Enhancements to the "[/help?cmd=/vdiff|/vdiff]" webpage for more difference
display options.
* Added the "[/tree?ci=trunk&expand | /tree]" webpage as an alternative
to "/dir" and make it the default way of showing file lists.
* Send gzipped HTTP responses to clients that support it.
<h2>Changes For Version 1.27 (2013-09-11)</h2>
* Enhance the [/help?cmd=changes | fossil changes],
[/help?cmd=clean | fossil clean], [/help?cmd=extras | fossil extras],
[/help?cmd=ls | fossil ls] and [/help?cmd=status | fossil status] commands
to restrict operation to files and directories named on the command-line.
* New --integrate option to [/help?cmd=merge | fossil merge], which
automatically closes the merged branch when committing.
* Renamed <tt>/stats_report</tt> page to [/reports]. Graph width is now
relative, not absolute.
* Added <tt>yw=YYYY-WW</tt> (year-week) filter to timeline to limit the results
to a specific year and calendar week number, e.g. [/timeline?yw=2013-01].
* Updates to SQLite to prevent opening a repository file using file descriptors
1 or 2 on Unix. This fixes a bug under which an assertion failure could
overwrite part of a repository database file, corrupting it.
* Added support for unlimited line lengths in side-by-side diffs.
* New --close option to [/help?cmd=commit | fossil commit], which
immediately closes the branch being committed.
* Added <tt>chart</tt> option to [/help?cmd=bisect | fossil bisect].
* Improvements to the "human or bot?" determination.
* Reports errors about missing CGI-standard environment variables for HTTP
servers which do not support them.
* Minor improvements to sync support on Windows.
* Added <tt>--scgi</tt> option to [/help?cmd=server | fossil server].
* Internal improvements to the sync process.
* The internals of the JSON API are now MIT-licensed, so downstream
users/packagers are no longer affected by the "do no evil" license
clause.
<h2>Changes For Version 1.26 (2013-06-18)</h2>
* The argument to the --port option for the [/help?cmd=ui | fossil ui] and
[/help?cmd=server | fossil server] commands can take an IP address in addition
to the port number, causing Fossil to bind to just that one IP address.
* After prompting for a password, also ask if that password should be
remembered.
* Performance improvements to the diff engine.
* Fix the side-by-side diff engine to work better with multi-byte Unicode text.
* Color-coding in the web-based annotation (blame) display. Fix the annotation
engine so that it is no longer confused by time-warps.
* The markdown formatter is now available by default and can be used for
tickets, wiki, and embedded documentation.
* Add subcommands "fossil bisect log" and "fossil bisect status" to the
[/help?cmd=bisect | fossil bisect] command, as well as other bisect enhancements.
* Enhanced defenses that prevent spiders from using excessive CPU and bandwidth.
* Consistent use of the -n or --dry-run command line options.
* Win32: Fossil now understands Cygwin paths containing one or more of
the characters <nowiki>"*:<>?|</nowiki>. Those are normally forbidden in
win32. This means that the win32 fossil.exe is better usable in a Cygwin
environment. See
[http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-specialchars].
* Cygwin: Fossil now understands win32 absolute paths starting with a drive
letter everywhere. The default value of the "case-sensitive" setting is
now FALSE, except when case-sensitivity is enabled in the Windows kernel.
See
[http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive]
* Enhancements to /timeline.rss, adding more flags for filtering
results, including the ability to subscribe to changes made
to individual tickets. For example: [/timeline.rss?y=t&tkt=12fceeec82].
* Improved handling of the differences between case-sensitive and
case-insensitive filesystems.
* JSON API: added the 'status' command to report local checkout status.
* Fixes to the <tt>--args</tt> support and documented this feature in the help.
* Added [/stats_report] page.
* Added <tt>ym=YYYY-MM</tt> filter to the [/timeline?ym=2013-06].
* Fixed: <tt>config reset</tt> now re-installs default ticket report format.
* <tt>ssh://</tt> and <tt>file://</tt> protocols now ignore proxy settings.
* Added [/hash-color-test] web page.
* Cherry-pick merges are recorded internally (though no yet displayed on the
timeline graph.)
* Bring in the latest versions of SQLite, zlib, and autosetup from upstream.
<h2>Changes For Version 1.25 (2013-02-16)</h2>
* Enhancements to ticket processing. There are now two tables: TICKET and
TICKETCHNG. There is one row in TICKETCHNG for each ticket artifact.
Fields from ticket artifacts go into either or both of TICKET and
TICKETCHNG, whichever contain matching column names. Default ticket
edit and viewing scripts are updated to use TICKETCHNG. The TH1
scripting language is enhanced to support this, including the new
"query" command for doing SQL queries against the repository database.
All changes should be backwards compatible.
* Add the ability to moderate ticket and wiki changes. Unmoderated changes
do not sync and may be deleted by the moderator if found to contain spam
or other objectionable content.
* Add javascript so that clicking on a node of the timeline graph selects
that node. Then clicking on a second node shows a diff between the
two nodes. Clicking on the selected node unselects it.
* Warn of unresolved merge conflicts in "fossil status" and disallow
commits of unresolved conflicts unless the --allow-conflict option
is used.
* Add javascript so that clicking on column headers in a ticket report
sorts by the indicated column.
* Add the "fossil cat" command which is basically an alias for
"fossil finfo -p".
* Hyperlinks with the class "button" are rendered as submenu buttons
on embedded documentation.
* The check-in comment editor on Windows now defaults to NotePad.exe.
* Correctly deal with BOMs in check-in comments. Also attempt to convert
check-in comments to UTF8 from other encodings.
* Allow the deletion of multiple stash entries using multiple arguments
to the "fossil stash rm" command.
* Enhance the "fossil server DIRECTORY" command to serve static content
files contained in DIRECTORY. For security, only files with a
recognized suffix (such as *.html, *.jpg, *.txt, etc) will be delivered
as static content, and *.fossil files are not on the list of recognized
suffixes. There are additional restrictions on the names of the files.
* Allow the "fossil ui" command to specify a directory as long as the
the --notfound option is used.
* Add a configuration option that causes timeline messages to be rendered
as text/x-fossil-plain (which is the same as text/plain except that
hyperlinks inside of <nowiki>[...]</nowiki> are decorated.)
* Only decorate <nowiki>[...]</nowiki> in check-in comments and tickets
if the contented text really is a valid hyperlink target.
* Improvements to the side-by-side diff algorithm, for a more
human-friendly display in some complex cases.
* Added <nowiki>[utime] and [stime]</nowiki> commands to TH1. These
commands can be used for things such as displaying the page rendering
time in the footer.
* Add the ability to pass command-line options of "fossil rebuild" to
"fossil all rebuild".
* Add the --deanalyze option to "fossil rebuild" (and "fossil all rebuild")
* Do not run the graphical merging tool nor leave merge-droppings after a
dry-run merge. Display an improved merge-summary message at the end of
the merge.
* Add options to "fossil commit" to override the various sanity checks.
Options added: --allow-empty, --allow-fork, --allow-older, and
--allow-conflict.
* Optionally require a CAPTCHA (controlled by a setting on the
Admin/Access webpage) when a user who is not logged in tries to
edit wiki, or a ticket, or an attachment.
* Improvements to the "ssh://" sync protocol, to help it move past
noisy motd comments.
* Add the uf=FILE-SHA1-HASH query parameter to the timeline, causing the
timeline to show only check-ins that contain the specific file identified
by FILE-SHA1-HASH. ("uf" stands for "uses file".)
* Enhance the file change annotator so that it follows the file across
name changes.
* Fix the server-side of the sync protocol so that it will not generate
a delta loop when a file changes from its original state, through two
or more intermediate states, and back to the original state, all within
a single sync.
* Show much less output during a sync operation, unless the --verbose
option is used.
* Set the action= attribute of <form> elements using javascript,
as an addition defense against spam-bots.
* Disallow invalid UTF8 characters (such as characters in the surrogate
pair range) in filenames.
* Judge the UserAgent strings issued by the NetSurf webbrowser to be
coming from a human, not from a bot.
* Add the zlib sources to the Fossil source tree (under compat/zlib) and
use those sources when compiling on (Windows) systems that do not have
a zlib library installed by default.
* Prompt the user with the option to convert non-UTF8 files into UTF8
when committing.
* Allow the characters <nowiki>*[]?</nowiki> in filenames.
* Allow the --context option on diff commands to have a value of 0.
* Added the "dbstat" command.
* Enhanced "fossil merge" so that if the VERSION argument is omitted, Fossil
tries to merge any forks of the current branch.
* Improved detection of forks in a commit race.
* Added the --analyze option to "fossil rebuild".
<h2>Changes For Version 1.24 (2012-10-22)</h2>
* Added support for WYSIWYG editing of wiki pages. WYSIWYG is turned off
by default and can be turned on by setting a configuration option.
* Allow style= attribute to occur in HTML markup on wiki pages.
* Added the --tk option to the "fossi diff" and "fossil stash diff"
commands, causing color-coded diff output to be displayed in a Tcl/Tk
GUI window. This option only works if Tcl/Tk is installed on the
host.
* On Windows, make the "gdiff" command default to use WinDiff.exe.
* Update the "fossil stash" command so that it always prompts for a
comment if the -m option is omitted.
* Enhance the timeline webpages so that a=, b=, c=, d=, p=, and dp=
query parameters (and others) can all accept any valid check-in name
(such as branch names or labels) instead of just SHA1 hashes.
* Added the "fossil stash show" command.
* Added the "fileage" webpage with links to this page from the check-in
information page and from the file browser.
* Added --age and -t options to the "fossil ls" command.
* Added the --setmtime option to "fossil update". When used, the mtime
of all managed files is set to the time when the most recent version of
the file was checked in.
* Changed the "vdiff" webpage to show the complete text of files that
were added or removed (the equivalent of using the -N or --newfile
options with the "fossil diff" command-line.)
* Added the --temp option to "fossil clean" and "fossil extra", causing
those commands to only look at temporary files generated by Fossil,
such as merge-conflict reports or aborted check-in messages.
* Enhance the raw page download so that it can guess the mimetype of
attachments based on the filename.
* Change the behavior of the from= and to= query parameters on the
timeline page so that by default the path between the two specified
check-ins avoids merges.
* Add the --baseurl option to "fossil server" and "fossil http" commands,
so that those commands can be used with reverse proxies.
* If unable to determine the command-line user, do not guess. Instead
issue an error message. This helps prevent check-ins from accidentally
occurring under the wrong username.
* Include branch information in the output of file change listings
(the "finfo" webpage).
* Make the simplified view of file history, rather than the full view,
the default.
* In the "fossil configuration" command, allow the "css" option for
synchronizing, importing, or exporting just the CSS file. This makes
it easier to share CSS files across repositories by exporting from
one and importing to another.
* Add the (unsupported) "fossil test-orphans" command.
* Add the --template option to the "fossil init" command, to facilitate
creating new repositories based on a template repository.
* Add the diff-binary setting, which if enabled causes binary files to
be passed to the "gdiff" command for it to deal with, rather than simply
printing a "cannot diff binary files" error.
* Add the --unified option to the "fossil diff" command to force a unified
diff even if the --tk option (which normally implies a side-by-side diff)
is used.
* Present a choice of nearby branches and versions to diff against on the
check-in information page.
* Add the --force option to the "fossil merge" command that will force the
merge to occur even if it would be a no-op. This is sometimes useful for
documentation purposes.
* Add another built-in skin: "Enhanced Default". Other minor tweaks to
the existing skins.
* Add the "urllist" webpage, showing a list of URLs by which a server
instance of Fossil has been accessed. Requires "Administrator" privileges.
A link is on the "Setup" main page.
* Enable dynamic loading of the Tcl runtime for installations that want
to use Tcl as part of their configuration. This reduces the size of
the Fossil binary and allows any version of Tcl 8.4 or later to be used.
* Merge the latest SQLite changes from upstream.
* Lots of minor bug fixes.
<h2>Changes For Version 1.23 (2012-08-08)</h2>
* The default checkout database name is now ".fslckout" instead of
"_FOSSIL_" on Unix. Both names continue to work.
* Added the "fossil all changes" command
* Added the --ckout option to the "fossil all list" command
* Added the "public-pages" glob pattern that can be configured to allow
anonymous users to see embedded documentation on sites where source
code should not be accessible to anonymous users.
* Allow multiple --tag options on the same "fossil commit" command.
* Change the meaning of the --bgcolor option for "fossil commit" to only
change the color for that one commit. The new --branchcolor option
is available to set a persistent background color.
* Add the branch= query parameter to the vdiff page and the --branch option
to the "fossil diff" command.
* Check-in names of the form "root:BRANCH" now refer to the origin of
the branch. Hence to see all changes in a branch, use
"fossil diff --from root:BRANCH --to BRANCH". The --branch option on
the diff command is an alias for the same.
* Add the ability to configure ad-units to be displayed between the menu
bar and the content.
* Add the ability to set a background image as part of server configuration.
* Allow partial commits of cherrypick merges.
* Updates against an uncommitted merge are now a warning, not a fatal error.
* Prompt the user to continue if a check-in comment is unedited.
* Fixes to case sensitivity settings with the /dir webpage.
* Repositories now try to remember the locations of all checkouts and
web-access URLs and display this information with the
"fossil info $REPO" command.
* Improved defense against spiders: The src= attribute of
<a> elements is set using javascript after the page loads.
* Enhanced formatting of the user list page.
* If a file named in "fossil add" is missing, that is now a warning instead
of a fatal error.
* Fix side-by-side diff so that it displays correctly with
multi-byte UTF8 characters.
* Performance improvements in the diff logic.
* Other performance tweaks and documentation updates.
<h2>Changes For Version 1.22 (2012-03-17)</h2>
* Greatly improved "diff" processing including the new --brief option,
partial line matching, colorized in-line diffs, and better performance.
* Promote "allow-symlinks" to a versionable setting
* Harden the CGI processing logic against DOS attacks
* Add the ability to run TH1 scripts after sync requests
* Store the repository name in _FOSSIL_ as it is type in the "open" command,
possibly as a relative pathname.
* Make ".fslckout" the alternative name for the "_FOSSIL_" file.
* Change the "ssh:" transfer method to allow all access regardless of
user permission.
* Improvements to the timeline messages associated with tag changes.
(Requires a "[/help/rebuild | fossil rebuild]" to take effect.)
* Various additions and fixes for the JSON API.
* Improved merge-with-rename handling.
* --cherrypick merges use their origin's commit message by default.
* Added support for multiple concurrent logins per user.
* Update to use SQLite version 3.7.11.
* Various minor bug fixes.
<h2>Changes For Version 1.21 (2011-12-13)</h2>
* Added side-by-side diffs in the command-line interface
* Automatically enable hyperlinks if the UserAgent string in the
HTTP header suggests that the requestor is a human and not a bot.
* Show only commonly used commands with "fossil help". Use
"fossil help --all" to see the complete list now.
* Improvements to the "stash" command: (1) Stash all files, not just
those below the working directory. (2) Add the --detail option to
"list". (3) Confirm before "drop --all". (4) Add the "help"
subcommand.
* Add an Admin/Access setting to change the number of octets of the
IP address that are saved in login cookies - allowing this setting
to be changed to zero
* Promote the "test-md5sum" command to "md5sum".
* Added the "whatis" command.
* Stop showing the server-code in status outputs - it is no longer used
for anything.
* Added a compile-time option (--with-tcl) to build in full Tcl scripting
support via integration with TH1.
* Merged the JSON branch into trunk. Disabled by default. Enabled
by a compile-time option. Probably it will be enabled by default
in some future release.
* Update to use SQLite version 3.7.9 plus the alignment fix for Sparc.
