[Arx-users] ArX-2.2.0

[Walter Landry]

Greetings,

I have made another unstable release of of ArX.  You can find it in
the usual place

  http://superbeast.ucsd.edu/~landry/ArX/ArX-2.2.0.tar.gz

This release features cryptographic signatures.  The ArX archives are
now all signed.  This release also has improved mirroring, better
support for plain http archives, and support for OS X and Windows
under Cygwin.

The way that archives are registered has changed, so all archives will
have to be reregistered.

I have appended the full release notes below.

Enjoy,
Walter



ArX-2.2.0 2005-Jan-23

This is an unstable release.

The way that archive registration is handled has changed, and you must
reregister all of your archives.  Please note the new mirroring
semantics.  You must also run "arx make-archive" on mirrors again.

ArX now features cryptographic signatures.

There is now embryonic support for Windows under cygwin.  See
INSTALL.CYGWIN for details.

ArX now runs under OS X, using either pkgsrc or fink to supply the
necessary dependencies.

ArX now makes it easy to publish archives to plain http servers.
Using a new "update-listing" function along with a hook, listing files
will be updated automatically.

"register-archive" has been folded into "archives".

"merge" and "replay" now have a --delete-removed option.

Mirroring has changed significantly.  An archive and its mirrors all
use the same name, and the syntax for "mirror" and "make-archive
--mirror" has changed.

The initial configure step will now error out if it can not find a
required program.

ArX now uses boost-1.32.0.
