**[Update]** Unfortunately some last minute changes make this release break on x86_64 – the issue has been fixed in the meantime, [the patch is available here](http:\/\/code.monotone.ca\/p\/monotone\/source\/commit\/1719598391da11b01b3a574e5b96a315d3d33810\/). My apologies, we’ll put out a new release shortly. **[\/Update]**<\/p>\n
We, the monotone developers, are very proud to release version 0.99
\nof our distributed version control system.<\/p>\n
This release contains almost countless bug fixes, changes and new
\nfeatures, so I’m listing only the outstanding ones here:<\/p>\n
* Selectors have been overhauled to support the calculation of
\n common sets of revisions, like e.g. differences, ancestors,
\n parents or children of input revisions.<\/p>\n
* Monotone’s URI syntax has been extended and is now the default
\n for all kinds of netsync actions (the old syntax remains available
\n until 2.0 though).<\/p>\n
* All netsync commands now come with a “dry-run” mode which
\n shows incoming and outgoing changes, such as revisions and certs.<\/p>\n
* The command line UI was cleaned up and improved a lot and now
\n supports negatable and completable options amongst other things.<\/p>\n
* Many automate commands have been added and existing one improved.<\/p>\n
* Monotone regained its manual page – automatically generated from
\n the command tree – which is also available localized through
\n the new ‘manpage’ command.<\/p>\n
A complete list of changes is available in the [NEWS file](http:\/\/www.monotone.ca\/NEWS).
\nThe tarball can be [downloaded here](http:\/\/www.monotone.ca\/downloads.php)
\n– binaries are posted there as they come in.<\/p>\n
Finally, this release also marks the beginning of a new version
\nnumbering scheme, where we try to maintain stable versions up to a
\ncertain point and add only non-breaking changes as minor releases.<\/p>\n
The upcoming version 1.0 now is such a stable release, actually the
\nfirst one after more than 6 years of development. It will only contain
\nbug fixes and documentation improvements, but no additional new
\nfeatures, and is planned in Q4 2010.<\/p>\n
**Thank you all for your ongoing support!**<\/p>\n
