        * v0.6.0 release notes

        # CRUISECONTROL: add support for date range queries to the history
        command, e.g. -version:"D2006-10-01T01:01:01Z~D2006-12-13T20:00:00Z"
        # CRUISECONTROL: add -noprompt option
        # CRUISECONTROL: add support for username@domain -login syntax
        # TFSBOT: add new IRC commit notification daemon. 
        # NEW: add alpha-quality MonoDevelop addin, with debian package
        # NEW: implement "tf shelve <name> <path>" to create new shelvesets
        # NEW: implement "tf shelve /delete <name>" for deleting shelvesets

        NOTE: only useful if no one else has changed the file since then.
        # NEW: add Get.ChangesetMtimes setting: By enabling this option, 
        the TF will set the modification time of any file subsequently fetched
        to the date of the last changeset in which the file was modified. 
        Warning: this mode of operation can significantly slow down "tf get".
        NOTE: Is this the best we can do? Does the server have any better datetime info?
        # NEW: add Get.DefaultToCwd setting: By enabling this option, the TF 
        client will look for updates starting with the current working folder 
        instead of pulling updates from all registered working folders.
        # NEW: add Workspace.Default setting: If the TF client cannot determine the 
        active workspace, first from the "/workspace:" option, and second the 
        workspace cache, then it will use the Workspace.Default setting if non-null.
        # BUGFIX: tf history with stopAfter > 256 shouldn't emit
        duplicate entries (thanks to dion.olsthoorn for the report & fix)

        its first checkin

        # BUGFIX: when parsing changeset and shelveset datetimes don't 
        drop the time portion
        # BUGFIX: insert trailing tabs after filenames (a/b) in diffs to
        help diffutils grok filenames with spaces
        # BUGFIX: make sure tf ls-files <paths> is not passed a filename
        # BUGFIX: set proper checkin time (by passing 0, not DateTime.Now - doh!)
        # BUGFIX: fix tf ls-files /others breakage on windows for subdirectories
        # BUGFIX: update local workspace cache when "tf workspaces" command called.
        # BUGFIX: fix issue #8 "tf config expects ~/.tf/ to already exist"
        # BUGFIX: teach tf that diffing binary files should print short 
        "Binary files $1 and $2 differ" message
        # BUGFIX: teach status command how to deal with locked files
        # BUGFIX: teach tf branches command about server paths

        * v0.4.7 release notes

        # Implement label and unlabel commands
        # Add "cache" command which shows workspace cache settings
        # Add /added, /modified, /deleted flags to Online command to
        show just additions, just modifications, or just deletions 
        respectively. These flags may be combined. With no flags, all
        changes are incorporated.
        # Add tf diff /modified option to show locally modified files as a
        unified diff. Can be used to review changes before using the online
        command.
        # Add File.Excludes config option. Use in "online" command.
        # Add Online.Recursive setting. Make default non-recursive to match
        standard MS client.
        # Add tf ls-files /writable option (mainly for windows users)
        # BUGFIX: Fixed multiple issues related to running opentf on windows.
        these include deleting read-only files and deleting files still open,
        which succeed on *nix platforms, but not on windows.
        # BUGFIX: Online command on windows. Replace server item path separator 
        with platform path separator.
        # BUGFIX: Replace windows path separators in diff headers with nix path 
        separator so /usr/bin/patch is happy

        # BUGFIX: Compare file hashes when looking for modifications in tf online 
        command. Previously just looked for files marked writable.

        of file rather than workspace version
        # Change /usr/bin/cli to /usr/bin/mono in tf.sh
        # BUGFIX: several diff fixes, including off by one error for files

        ls-files /old subcommand.
        # BUGFIX: when upload new/changed files, send correct file length

        * v0.4.4 release notes:
        
        NOTE: in this release VersionControl.config is now stored in ~/.tf/Cache/,
        instead of ~/.tf/ - this change was made for consistency with the 
        MS versions of the TFS assemblies. If you've used the TF tool previously,
        just move VersionControl.config from ~/.tf/ to ~/.tf/Cache/
        
        # add basic version of TF Power Tool 1.1 "online" command to tf.exe,
          includes /preview mode.
        # add basic version of TF Power Tool 1.2 "treeclean" command to tf.exe,
          includes /preview mode.
        # add changeset command 
        # add diff command with support for diff against server latest,
          diff of pending changes, diff view of any changeset.
        # add support for response file processing and multiple commands 
          on a single command line, please see documentation for usage    
        # add /format:detailed option to history command
        # add basic "help" command
        # add config command with options "Checkin.Validate", "Credentials.Save",
          and "History.Recursive"
        
        # read server setings from cache file, don't need /server 
          quite as much now
        # load/store credentials from gnome-keyring if available, prompt for
          password when not supplied.
        
        # undoing a delete restores the file now
        # numerous API additions including: WorkspaceVersionSpec, IDiffItem, 
          DiffItemVersionedFile, DiffOutputType, DiffOptionFlags, DiffOptions, 
          Conflict*, ExceptionEvent* types
        # add DisplayString property for all VersionSpec classes and test cases
        # better man page
        # better error messages

        # BUGFIX: when a file is checked in mark it should be marked read-only
        # BUGFIX: do case insensitive string comparisons in ls-files and
        online commands on windows, and use Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
        # BUGFIX: GetLocalWorkspaceInfo should find longest matching path,
        not first matching path
        # BUGFIX: tf get should use CWD only to find workspace
        # BUGFIX: properly handle checkin of files marked read-only
        # BUGFIX: on windows find correct TFS VersionControl.config file
        
2007-04-22  Joel Reed  <joelwreed@gmail.com>

        * v0.4.2 release: add support for querying ExtendedItems. Implement
        tf.exe property command which uses ExtendedItems. Add GettingEventHandler,
        PendingChangeEventHandler, ProcessingChangeEventHandler, 
        and OperationStatus.

        tf.exe now compiles/runs on MS CLR. Many bug fixes were made to APIs,
        and client utility while testing on Windows.

        tf.exe supports two new commands: "ls-files" and "properties".
        The "status" command output was cleaned up. 

        Added debian packages via "make dist"
        
        Started MonoDevelop plugin based on Subversion plugin. Work in progress.
        Lots of code cleanups and bug fixes. 

        Improved handling of ~/.tf/VersionControl.config cache.

2007-03-28 joel reed  <joelwreed@gmail.com>

        * v0.4 release: support for add, delete, rename, edit, and 
        history, and checkin commands. added file permissions handling
        using libmagic. show changeset id from server. doc updates.
        multiple API additions and bug fixes.
        
2007-03-10 joel reed  <joelwreed@gmail.com>

        * v0.3 release: much better support for tracking a repository,
        including new files, deleted files, and renames. A preliminary
        man page has been added, and utility commands like add, delete, 
        checkout, and rename now modify the state of the server. The 
        checkin command has a mysterious bug which prevents these 
        modifications from being added back to the repository, 
        but that should be cleaned up soon.

2006-12-29 joel reed  <joelwreed@gmail.com>

        * v0.1 release: dir, labels, workspaces, view,
        and permissions commands have initial implementations
        
2006-12-28 joel reed  <joelwreed@gmail.com>

        * initial setup of separate TFS tree
