This is a list of the most important changes between 2.x versions. It is by |
|---|
| 2 |
no means complete, listing only user-visible changes which are interesting. |
|---|
| 3 |
The ultimate way to know what has changed is to run diff, or even neater, |
|---|
| 4 |
ask CVS about it: |
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 |
* Checkout the archive (see doc/cvs for how you can do this) |
|---|
| 7 |
* Determine which tags are valid, by running this command from the |
|---|
| 8 |
project root directory: |
|---|
| 9 |
cvs status -v -l Makefile |
|---|
| 10 |
Valid tags are usually like form V2-1-0 for version 2.1.0 |
|---|
| 11 |
* Ask cvs for the difference between two versions: |
|---|
| 12 |
cvs diff -r TAG1 -r TAG2 DIFF-OPTIONS |
|---|
| 13 |
for example: |
|---|
| 14 |
cvs diff -r V2-0-0 -r V2-0-1 -u |
