[Bitkeeper-announce] 3.2.2 release available

[Larry McVoy]

After a couple of false starts (we had some performance regressions on 
Windows) we have a release which performs better and is more stable
on all platforms.  Here are the release notes.

Enjoy,

===============================================================================
Release notes for BitKeeper version 3.2.2.   

Upgrade notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The linux kernel repository of the 2.5/2.6 branch may contain a bad checksum
in the ChangeSet file;  special case code has been added to correct this.
The code runs automatically and will be silent if everything is repaired.

New Features
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- bk diffs -up works as expected
- bk checksum runs about 40x faster on the ChangeSet file.
- bk checksum has a new -r option to repair the checksum on a single delta
- bk version now prints the operating system name and release
- bk sfiles -U now lists BitKeeper/triggers files

Noteworthy Bug Fixes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2002-02-08-002	pull will now silently fix a locked sfile with missing gfile
2002-03-06-002 	bk fix -c collapses multiple revisions of a single file for a
		ChangeSet
2002-03-22-004 	fixtool does not preserve permissions
2002-04-17-001 	changing per file flags seems to have turned a symlink into a
		reg file
2002-08-20-001 	bk fix -c corrupts symlinks
2003-12-15-002 	bk fixtool looses execute permissions
2004-01-16-001 	if .bk_skip exists, check saying missing file could give a
		hint as to what's wrong
2004-03-31-001 	After bk fix -c check fails
2004-05-19-004 	fix -c should save a backup patch, like undo
2004-05-31-001	in bkweb "all diffs for ChangeSet" works again

bk fixtool now works on Windows.

Takepatch will again refuse to accept incoming csets that have
checksum problems.

The installer code has been extensively reworked for the Windows platform.
Most of the changes are behind the scenes, but the installer should
preserve the registry properly, should uninstall properly, etc.  The
path is maintained in the registry or autoexec.bat on Windows 98 & ME.
We respect the registry entries for the Program Files directory, we
don't stomp on the registry type for the Path variable, in general
we're better Windows citizens.

Bug reports on Windows installations are most welcome.
