| 20:48 | Removed all references to "Fossil 2.1x" from the docs, excepting the changelog and the hashpolicy doc. The bulk of these were for 2.14 or older — *ten* versions back now! — and there is no reason to suppose such old versions are still in use any more. These notes were justified when they informed users about surprising changes and feature additions, but they now do nothing but clutter the docs. If I am wrong about people being surprised by these things, we still have the changelog, the timeline, and the forum. file: [af01cb850f] check-in: [ad47a447c8] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 48469 | |

In an effort to make www/* source documents read as cleanly as their
rendered counterparts, replaced nearly all use of HTML "p" tags, relying
instead on the Wiki and Markdown markup features to achieve the same
appearance. The only uses remaining are:
In many places, this cleanup gets rid of pointless stray "p" tags, placating HTML verifiers. file: [e0fe024e4a] check-in: [1fd407f61a] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 48594 | |

| 06:29 | Removed use of UPX in the container build process. It complicates the build for a tiny gain while breaking ARM builds. We worked around the ARM-on-ARM case earlier, but it also breaks x86 cross-compilation on ARM. Images are already compressed, and while `upx -9` is stronger compression than whatever Docker Engine is using, it's a small advantage. This does mean the static executable isn't compressed any more on x86, but if you want that, you can UPX it afterward. file: [077665a9b3] check-in: [da545c9e79] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 48957 | |

Replaced Jan Nijtman's Dockerfile with a new one that does a 2-stage
build. The first stage runs atop Alpine Linux instead of Fedora,
reducing the initial build from ~635 MiB to about 16.
Rather than stop there, I then made it multi-stage, copying two key static binaries — Fossil and Busybox — over from the first stage into a fresh-from-scratch container and set it up to run the former jailed away from the latter. The result is under 9 MiB, and it's as secure as one can hope, given that it starts up in "PUBLIC" mode. The new build doesn't have all the extra features turned on that the old one did, but it seems right to build the container with Fossil in its default configuration. If you want something else, copy the Dockerfile, hack it, and make it do what you want instead. Having done all this, I replaced the one-off Dockerfile inline in section 5.0 of the build doc with a reference to this new Dockerfile and rewrote the section in terms of the new capabilities. Finally, this lets us brag on how small the container can be, as compared to the Gitlab-CE container. Before, we were comparing a standalone binary to the container, which wan't entirely fair. (The desire to produce such a container was the spark that kicked this project off.) file: [9bc1094e6f] check-in: [77d603c6a1] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 48916 | |

Recast the blockchain.md doc as "Is Fossil a Blockchain?" (answer:
mostly no) and updated all references to it to either remove the term,
use "repository" instead where that's sufficiently clear, or to say
either "Merkle tree" or "hash tree" instead where we need to distinguish
the hash tree itself from the rest of the repo DB file's contents. This
depends on the prior CAP theorem doc, since part of the argument for
Fossil not being a blockchain gets us down into those weeds.
EDIT: Moving it to a branch because we're still arguing the point on the forum. file: [9886b47cff] check-in: [855578b610] user: wyoung branch: fossil-as-blockchain, size: 47522 | |

| 10:16 | Many improvements to section "2.3 Durable" in fossil-v-git.wiki, largely involving the merger of a near-repeat of the same points down in section 3.1, but also adding more information emphasizing the durability of SQLite DBs in general and Fossil repos in specific. file: [7936633cea] check-in: [cd989fed40] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 33674 | |

| 02:29 | Prior section 2.5 in fossil-v-git is now section 2.4.4, since it's part of the "2.4 Linux vs SQLite" story. Little change in content; primarily just an organization fix. file: [ec48b30d70] check-in: [e9628d7063] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 30595 | |
| 02:26 | Extracted part of section 2.1 and merged it with the entire prior content of section 2.5 in fossil-v-git as a new section, "2.2 Efficient and Effective". These were two partially-redundant sections covering Git's sprawl of tools, third-party dependencies, and extensions vs Fossil's self-contained single-binary nature.

| 12:11 | Re-cast the "BSD vs GPL" section as "Accepting Contributions." In the end, that's what the difference in license amounts to. This makes the section longer, but the change includes a link to skip past the actual licensing discussion for those who don't want to read our attempt at an unbiased discussion of GPL vs BSD, since even if we've succeded, we won't always agree with the user's biases! file: [8acf2244a3] check-in: [75e93e35b1] user: wyoung branch: bsd-vs-gpl, size: 23998 | |

| 11:02 | Moved the "BSD vs GPL" section up in the fossil-v-git doc and made it a sub-section of a new "Linux vs SQLite" section which has two other sub-sections: "Development Organization," which contains an expanded version of what used to be called "Cathedral vs. Bazaar" and "Scale," which contains what is left of the prior version's "Linux vs. SQLite" section. These are sub-sections of a common parent because they were mutually repetitive, and they're all aspects of the "Linux vs. SQLite" comparison, not separate things at all. file: [5048f31456] check-in: [bab2656d1c] user: wyoung branch: bsd-vs-gpl, size: 23158 | |

| 15:46 | Moved a sentence from the final paragraph up to the first in the "GPL vs BSD" section of the "Fossil vs. Git" doc. It was something of a non-sequitur where it was, and in its new position, it serves to bookend the discussion: we lay out our proposition at the top and come to a conclusion that we believe supports that proposition by the end. file: [3bf2c4ec9d] check-in: [cb1b007cd5] user: wyoung branch: bsd-vs-gpl, size: 19850 | |
