[tahoe-dev] Fwd: [darcs-devel] announcing darcs 2.0.0pre3

[zooko]

Folks:

We allmydata.org and allmydata.com developers have given many bug  
reports to the darcs developers over the years.  The new darcs v2  
which is coming out seems to address many of our biggest complaints.   
It has been gratifying to receive a lot of e-mail from the darcs bug  
tracker about darcs developers following up on my bug reports.  I saw  
about a dozen of m bug reports closed in the darcs v2 development.   
Many of them now have unit tests in the darcs test suite to ensure  
that the issues really are fixed.

I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Regards,

Zooko
