Following month ↑
2020-10-31
03:15
Covered the difference between "git log" and "fossil timeline" in the gitusers doc; made several other improvements while in there. check-in: f6ad6fb179 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2020-10-29
19:18
Fixed a use of "above" in a document to refer to text that was later moved to another document entirely. We now link to that doc instead. check-in: 6a6fd6b911 user: wyoung tags: trunk
19:07
Reworked the "Clones and Backups" section of www/caps/admin-v-setup.md now that we have www/backup.md. check-in: dd65d143c3 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:30
Requires SQLite version 3.34.0 or later, due to the recursive CTE enhancement needed by /finfo. check-in: 8813ae91a6 user: drh tags: trunk
13:42
Minor fix to error handling in pikchr.c. check-in: 5febff257d user: drh tags: trunk
02:06
Update to the latest pikchr.c that fixes issues with the "close" attribute. check-in: c9bc2b4a8d user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-28
16:13
When deleting a subscription, also provide the opportunity to delete the corresponding user. When deleting a user, always also delete subscriptions associated with that user. check-in: b6b5a7dc62 user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-27
08:47
Add section "Naming of Files, Checkins, and Branches" check-in: 590a8fcac6 user: danshearer tags: trunk
08:04
Correct typo; X swapped with Y check-in: 986bde2b54 user: danshearer tags: trunk
2020-10-26
19:49
Merge enhancements to the quickstart.wiki documentation page onto trunk. check-in: f2abc2b009 user: drh tags: trunk
16:44
Minor html emphasis fix Closed-Leaf check-in: 2c9ccd77e4 user: danshearer tags: quickstart
16:35
Minor mods, and use for command output check-in: cfc68d1349 user: danshearer tags: quickstart
15:56
Add examples and expand on the workflow check-in: 3e44368b6c user: danshearer tags: quickstart
06:46
Added zsh fossil autocompletion, as discussed in https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/47a180c815. check-in: e299531d5b user: stephan tags: trunk
2020-10-22
17:35
Assorted minor fixes and tweaks to the check-in names doc check-in: 68a78b895e user: wyoung tags: trunk
2020-10-20
23:40
Fix a harmless compiler warning in the previous check-in. check-in: 6c2b5bafb6 user: drh tags: trunk
23:37
The /file page for a file that is not part of the latest checkin tries to substitute the most recent checking that added the file. check-in: 5cf5ad8491 user: drh tags: trunk
10:08
Small tweaks to the CAP Theorem doc check-in: 67a4c1d313 user: wyoung tags: trunk
00:20
For the graph drawing routines, make the graph row identifier a 64-bit integer type to avoid the possibility of integer overflow in /finfo where the row ids are a composite of the blob.rid and filename.fnid and hence might become large for repositories with many files and many check-ins. check-in: ab71d95a9f user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-19
20:52
Update the built-in SQLite to fix a bug introduced by the previous update. check-in: 0fac549b56 user: drh tags: trunk
20:09
Do a better job of showing when a file is added, deleted, or renamed in the /finfo page. check-in: a0bca48147 user: drh tags: trunk
18:24
Improvements to /finfo: Show all file rename events. The "rid" for each timeline entry must be a combination of the file-id "fid" and the filename-id "fnid" since either one of those two might change which should result in a new entry on the timeline. check-in: 8c598d7232 user: drh tags: trunk
14:37
Use the new multi-recursive-term capability of CTEs in SQLite to fix the /finfo clade calculation, and to make /finfo run about 5x faster. check-in: 47bfea074b user: drh tags: trunk
13:25
Update the built-in SQLite to the latest 3.34.0 alpha that includes the ability to have multiple recursive terms in a recursive CTE. That new capability is expected to be helpful in improving the /finfo page. check-in: 5328f82160 user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-18
18:38
Fix harmless compiler warnings. Update the custom MinGW makefile. Make feature reporting consistent for 'markdown', which is now always enabled. check-in: 750879ead4 user: mistachkin tags: trunk
2020-10-17
18:47
Use the correct filename in hyperlinks in the new /finfo page. check-in: 0af4772245 user: drh tags: trunk
14:57
Enhancements to the /finfo page so that it follows the file across name changes if the ci=HASH query parameter is used. check-in: b54d9396f9 user: drh tags: trunk
12:34
On the /finfo page, change the check-in range query parameters from ci= and orig= into from= and to=. This gets the ci= query parameter out of the way so that it can be reused. check-in: 299800b29d user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-15
14:59
Expand the allowed date/time format for the "a=" and "b=" query parameters to the /finfo page, so that it is compatible with /timeline. check-in: 04ef2df613 user: drh tags: trunk
11:23
Fix typo in pikchr.md check-in: 9bdc9ca40b user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-14
20:20 Edit [9e816f0aa91bc39e|9e816f0aa9]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: 270db7410a user: drh
17:47
For the "fossil all" command, make --dont-stop the default. There is a new option --stop-on-error that sets the legacy behavior. Pause for 1/3rd of a second after any subprocess failure so that if the failures is due to SIGINT, a second SIGINT can have time to arrive before continuing. check-in: bcd5adddbb user: drh tags: trunk
12:15
Take positive cherrypick merges into account when computing the MLINK table for a check-in. check-in: e0d8f733b7 user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-13
20:49 Fixed ticket [e4d8a23d1f]: Duplicate slashes from base URL in repolist plus 4 other changes artifact: 3cb6ee655e user: drh
20:47
Fix the --baseurl option on "fossil server" so that it automatically strips off trailing / characters. check-in: 9e816f0aa9 user: drh tags: trunk
13:50
Enhance the whatis command to show a description of the origin of phantoms. check-in: d25027685b user: drh tags: trunk
13:26
Improved identification of the source of phantoms when they are named in a cluster but nowhere else. check-in: cd624d4ff2 user: drh tags: trunk
12:19
Update the built-in SQLite to the latest 3.34.0 alpha. check-in: 2ec0dc29f3 user: drh tags: trunk
08:35
Typo fix check-in: 9c67804a16 user: wyoung tags: trunk
08:32
Assorted minor tweaks to the new backup.md doc check-in: fc2c12442c user: wyoung tags: trunk
00:40
Soften the introduction to the "backup.md" documentation page, so that beginners do not get the impression that backups are critical for successful Fossil deployments. check-in: c14a1f6001 user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-12
19:56
More clarifications to cryptocurrencies vs the Fossil "blockchain". check-in: 26005b81bf user: wyoung tags: trunk
19:45
Several clarity improvements to the discussion of cryptocurrencies in blockchain.md. check-in: 70523a718c user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:39
New document: pikchr.md check-in: a92365d722 user: drh tags: trunk
07:06 New ticket [e4d8a23d1f] Duplicate slashes from base URL in repolist. artifact: 9b4980cc72 user: ivz_hh
03:14 Edit [a9dcda5dfdbca29d|a9dcda5dfd]: Add propagating "hidden". Mark "Closed". Edit check-in comment. artifact: 034e4a4eb1 user: wyoung
2020-10-11
06:51
Greatly expanded the simple definition of "blockchain" in the eponymous doc to include more details of common blockchain implementations to draw clearer parallels. This causes our conclusion to flip around from the prior version of this doc, but it's worth keeping the doc because it serves to compare and contrast Fossil to other systems. check-in: 1ddb400886 user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:19
Understand files ending in ".pikchr" to be Pikchr source text and render them appropriately. check-in: e32214a409 user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-10
20:33
New pikchr.c that fixes the top and bottom margin that was lost in the previous check-in. check-in: 0ec09ea894 user: drh tags: trunk
20:24
Update pikchr.c with enhancements in text layout when using "big" or "small". check-in: b80bd64b42 user: drh tags: trunk
17:54
Merge in trunk check-in: 7803cfeff4 user: george tags: wiki-history
16:34
Add a catch-all bullet for other miscellaneous changes to the change list for 2.13. check-in: 40f0d5ab62 user: drh tags: trunk
16:32
Improved interwiki link documentation. Enhance the /intermap page so that it shows the current intermap (read-only) to non-setup users, rather than completely exluding such users. check-in: baeab56eff user: drh tags: trunk
15:52
Relax constraints on the SQL used to set up the ticket schema slightly: (1) Allow creating views whose names begin with "ticket" or "fx_". (2) Allow creating tables whose names begin with "fx_". (3) Allow data changes to tables whose names begin with "fx_". check-in: 93c45cd4e0 user: drh tags: trunk
12:05
Renamed fossil.page.wikiedit-wysiwyg-legacy.js to fossil.wikiedit-wysiwyg.js so that the excessively long name doesn't cause /dir to have, at most, 2 columns. Removed some dead code and added a tiny bit of docs. Updated changelog per forum request. check-in: a759842a7a user: stephan tags: trunk
00:01
Fix the fossil_stat() routine (broken by check-in [39a5df1fde741d08]) so that it responds correctly when the second argument is SymFILE. This is a fix for the problem described in [forum:/info/251ffc0584|Forum post 251ffc0584] check-in: 4d445ead4c user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-09
21:09
Replace the two GIF images in the www/concepts.wiki document with Pikchrs. check-in: bd9bf24837 user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-08
14:49
Always consume the --nocgi command-line option even if it is not used. check-in: 8594e7a68a user: drh tags: trunk
08:48
Drew better analogies between Bitcoin's answer to the 51% attack and to GitHub in the new Anonymity section of the blockchain doc to show that Fossil doesn't even try to provide the sorts of behavior that allow fully anonymous contribution to a blockchain. Closed-Leaf check-in: 87b1385dac user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
08:10
Added a para to the prior section. check-in: 69e0ea54a7 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
08:00
Added the "Anonymity" section to the new blockchain doc. check-in: b357dc2b03 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
07:04
Small clarity fix in the new CAP theorem doc check-in: 8a9facbb3e user: wyoung tags: trunk
06:42
All but rewrote the Cryptocurrency section of the new blockchain.md doc to clarify the sorts of frauds each system has to prevent so that we can draw clearer analogies. check-in: 154d848d2e user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
04:11
Merged trunk changes in check-in: 95203913c0 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
04:11
Added fragment identifiers to the new CAP theorem doc. check-in: 991b089925 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2020-10-07
07:07
Removed an extraneous space from pikchrshow DOM output. pikchr command error output now prepends a newline to pikchr-level errors to keep line number comment alignment intact for the first line. check-in: c3b2671f6d user: stephan tags: trunk
06:59
pikchr_process() now makes use of the as-yet-not-public PIKCHR_PLAINTEXT_ERRORS flag to maintain control of the error output DOM structure. check-in: ce3046290b user: stephan tags: trunk
05:39
Increase maximum token size in Pikchr to 50000 bytes. Important for macros. check-in: da1ff5c2d1 user: drh tags: trunk
00:29
Removed several weak arguments from the blockchain.md doc and added a lot more info about cryptocurrencies to show the differences between them and Fossil. Tweaked much of the preexisting material. check-in: 3d55f44376 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
2020-10-06
12:24 Edit [855578b61091c49d|855578b610]: Move to branch fossil-as-blockchain. Edit check-in comment. artifact: f588ed4fa6 user: wyoung
2020-10-05
18:15
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. ... check-in: 855578b610 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
17:02
Added a new doc, "Fossil and the CAP Theorem." It distills some good info from the forum, so we can just point at it instead of recapitulating it. But it's being checked in now because an upcoming commit will refer to it. check-in: 3ddd56d0b0 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:37
Added "Restoring From An Encrypted Backup" section to the new backup.md doc. check-in: e0a38eb3eb user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:12
Fixed another dangling Markdown link check-in: e5ad07dcf6 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:10
URL fix check-in: 56b13f2a3c user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:59
Fixed the scp command in the new backup.md doc check-in: e3e4bec360 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:55
Another typo fix in the backup.md doc check-in: eb34dd52e2 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:45
Typo fix check-in: 21a63c8c88 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:16
Assorted tweaks to the new material in the gitusers doc. check-in: 09acf696d2 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:37
Added the "Autosync is Intransitive" section to the new backup doc. check-in: 1299d67786 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:24
A few small refinements to the new backup doc. check-in: ea57a2f723 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:08
Greatly expanded the "Autosync" section of the gitusers doc. Among other things, it now references the new backup.md doc. check-in: 3ddc1d9458 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:07
Added info about private branches to the new backup.md doc. check-in: 78c0c55a41 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:54
Added a new doc, "Backing Up a Remote Fossil Repository". check-in: 5c2ef2a2e3 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:25
Change instances of %s(g.zTop) into %R. check-in: a40e8a0934 user: drh tags: trunk
10:18
Greatly expanded the "Repositories And Checkouts Are Distinct" section of the gitusers.md doc. check-in: 386fc49e3f user: wyoung tags: trunk
10:13
uv ls/list doc patch from https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/cdc43ffe60. check-in: ecac7c4ea7 user: stephan tags: trunk
2020-10-04
14:37 Edit [2907721acd547b3e|2907721acd]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: b6b1593715 user: wyoung
14:35
Exchanged most uses of %s(g.zTop) and such in the code with use of %R in Fossil's special printf() type functions. (The branch is named after just one of several of these, mprintf(), being one of the shortest names.) At the least, this is shorter, simpler code, but there is also some hope that it may fix some doubled slash problems someone is... Closed-Leaf check-in: 2907721acd user: wyoung tags: prefer-mprintf-r
2020-10-03
02:06
Clarity tweaks to the new "multiple origins" scenario in the gitusers doc. check-in: 77bb3e4c33 user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:53
Small tweaks to previous. check-in: e67c413d50 user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:38
Added a new "multiple origin servers" section to the gitusers doc to replace the obsolete one just removed. This not only shows off Fossil's new "fossil remote add" feature set, it acts as a sort of white paper comparing Git to Fossil in a common use case scenario. check-in: e3cef726f2 user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:35
Expanded on several points in the gitusers doc, added links to other docs, added named anchors to all of the top-level sections, and removed the obsolete section on "no multiple remotes" now that we have the "fossil remote add" feature. check-in: 2306f8164d user: wyoung tags: trunk
2020-10-02
22:11
Clarified and expanded the "create branches at point of need" section of the gitusers.md doc. check-in: 331dc0d334 user: wyoung tags: trunk
21:59
Reflected the GitHub change of "master" to "main" into our gitusers.md doc. check-in: b0ee3d5d75 user: wyoung tags: trunk
20:28
Changed the name of docs at the end of the quickstart doc to match their actual titles. check-in: 3449d9cee9 user: wyoung tags: trunk
20:25
Converted obsolete anchors in the quickstart doc to fragment identifiers on the headers, and added fragment IDs to all of the h2 level headers that lacked one. check-in: 8da7b15e71 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:23
Removed a bit of unnecessary copy/paste backwards compatibility from [15001dd013]. check-in: aae387d956 user: stephan tags: trunk
09:38
Added --hash flag to ls -v, for consistency with status/changes, per https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/896de8f963. check-in: 15001dd013 user: stephan tags: trunk
2020-10-01
21:21
Clarity pass on the rebaseharm doc following the recent Hacker News thread, to address confusions that came up there. check-in: 068e26af37 user: wyoung tags: trunk
20:59
Removed point 4.0 from the rebaseharm doc: it said that rebase is a problem because Git makes the change immediately to the blockchain, but that's a problem with Git in general, due to its commit-then-push model, not a problem with rebase in particular. If Fossil had a rebase feature, there is no good reason to believe we would do this as well. The... check-in: 6e0dba257b user: wyoung tags: trunk
20:37
The rebaseharm.md doc referred to rebase04.svg *twice*, so while all SVGs associated with the doc were replaced, the second became a broken link when the SVG files were removed. Simply duplicating the code with comments to try to stave off version drift for now. check-in: a61ac66b63 user: wyoung tags: trunk
18:34
Improvements to the "fossil import" command so that it can now (hopefully) interpret "breezy" files. check-in: d82534b3ac user: drh tags: trunk
18:33
Fix an issue with the "R" (rename)" and "C" (copy) commands when interpreting git-fast-export files. Closed-Leaf check-in: 8e5b010349 user: drh tags: breezy-fast-import
16:01
Latest pikchr.c fixes an issue with "same" and lines that have a "to" attribute. check-in: 42caafaf3b user: drh tags: trunk
15:05 Edit [7e8cb38ca25a9276|7e8cb38ca2]: Mark "Closed". Edit check-in comment. artifact: be4f7901bf user: stephan
12:46
Fix an issue with the logic that prevents Fossil control artifacts from being imported as regular files. Probably unrelated to the breezy changes. Came up during testing. check-in: 92ab247435 user: drh tags: breezy-fast-import
12:13
An attempt to enhance the git-fast-export reader so that it can handle breezy-generated output files. check-in: ddcd35d6a5 user: drh tags: breezy-fast-import
