It took us quite a while, but Loic d'Anterroches finally merged my monotone support fork back into indefero. Its expected that the upcoming 1.1 release of indefero is the first release which ships with mtn support.

sed is usually my favourite tool to search and replace things from the command line, but sometimes Perl's regexes are far more convenient to use. Recently I found out another reason why Perls -pi -e is superior over plain sed: when you want to change multiple lines in a document!

We, the monotone developers, are very proud to announce the new 0.48 release of our distributed version control system.
