Gnu arch 1.2pre2

A new release of GNU arch, tla-1.2pre2, is now officially
available.

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.

It can be obtained from:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch

The tar bundle is called tla-1.2pre2.tar.gz. Accompanying the
distribution is a gpg detached signature (tla-1.2.tar.gz.sig) and
my public key is attached to this message. The MD5 checksum of the
tar bundle is eb6cfa562c580dd8368890c5c2f8b9c8.

This release contains bugfixes, performance enhancements, and
corrected instructions for using the new “signed archive”
features.

ATTENTION: users currently using the the signed archive feature
should download this release and read the instructions in
./=ARCH-USERS-README. Upgrading is not strictly necessary —
although your “.check files” should be modified.

There have been several contributors to this release. All are, I
hope, honored in the patch logs. But deserving of particular
mention are Aaron Bentley and Robert Collins.

Thank you for your support,

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:

Contributors should know that by helping in response to GNU
arch, you will also be helping to further the new Pika Scheme
project — a project aimed at producing, among other things, an
“Emacs for the modern age; a global emacs; a graphical emacs.”

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 — both of which,
I fear, are doomed to be an incomplete record). A community of
contributors has helped arch to advance far more rapidly than would
otherwise have been possible.
