[Gnu-arch-users] The Real tla-1.1pre7 Announcement

[Tom Lord]

[Please forward to interested recipients.]

A new release of GNU arch, tla-1.1pre7, is now officially available.
See http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch for information about
obtaining this release.

GNU arch is a distributed, changeset-oriented revision control system:
an alternative to CVS and to proprietary tools such as those used to
maintain the Linux kernel.

The previous official release was tla-1.1pre5 (the version numbered
"pre6" was not officially released).  A short summary of changes since
1.1pre5 is included below.

The arch project is financially supported entirely by contributions
from the general public.  Financial help, if you are able to provide,
is both very much needed and very much appreciated.  You can find more
information about this at:

            http://regexps.srparish.net/www
     or     http://arch.quackerhead.com/~lord


The arch project is also, significantly, supported by contributions of
labor by a substantial number of volunteers (listed in the ChangeLog
and in the =THANKS file).  A community of contributors has helped arch
to advance far more rapidly than would otherwise have been possible:
the principles of free software in action!


Thank you for your support,
