        * 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.

        * v0.4.6 release notes:

        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

        # BUGFIX: trailing slash on path confused online command

        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 diff command with support for diff against server latest,
          diff of pending changes, diff view of any changeset.

          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.

        * 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
