The Xtla development team is proud to announce the first release
candidate of Xtla, version 1.2.
Xtla is the Emacs front-end to GNU Arch client (either tla or bazaar
branch, at your option). It mainly provides user-friendly wrappers for
native commands.
The 1.2 version of Xtla will most probably be the last version of Xtla
to contain new features. We are currently moving to a more generic
architecture, that we called DVC, which will support other RCS as
back-ends. We already have preliminary support for Mercurial and
Bazaar 2. Any lisp hacker is welcome to join us to add other
back-ends.
The main features are:
* PCL-CVS like interface for tla inventory and tla changes
* Archive browser - navigate painlessly through archives, categories,
branches, versions, etc.
* Good integration in Emacs - almost everything can be done from
within the editor
* Bookmark manager - keep the most frequently used arch locations in
your bookmark buffer
* Integration with ediff, Emacs's graphical diff tool
- to view changes made in a local tree.
- to view and resolve conflicts after a merge.
* Interface to view missing patches from all your partners with a
single command
* An Emacs mode for arch-related files (log files, =tagging-method,
"build-config" files)
* Support for baz, and for baz added commands like "switch",
"annotate", "status", "resolved"
* Integraton with Gnus.
The main new features for the 1.2 version are:
* M-x baz-update RET can use either merge, replay, or update
* changelog buffer, cat-log-mode buffers, and *Article* buffers (in
Gnus) show clickable buttons for revision names (and other Arch
names).
* A mail notification is available from the Changelog buffer (bound
to "M")
* Several bazaaz 1.5 compatibility issues solved
* Many bugfixes

We also have a project page on http://gna.org (savannah.gnu.org-like),
where you can find information about the mailing list, the online
manual, the download area, and the bug tracker (also used for feature
requests):
https://gna.org/projects/xtla-el
You can install Xtla is from the archive found here:

The version is
address@hidden/xtla--main--1.2
Xtla can also be downloaded as a tarball from here
http://download.gna.org/xtla-el/
The Debian package for this version is not available since I don't
have access to a machine able to build a Debian package right now. If
anybody can provide it to me, he's welcome.
Many thanks to all contributors and testers, in particular, for this
version:
Stefan Reichör, Original author of Xtla and integrator
Masatake Yamato, GNU Emacs hacker
Milan Zamazal, Debian developer
