DITrack 0.5 beta is available

[Vlad Skvortsov]

Hi!

It's my pleasure to announce that the beta version of DITrack 0.5 is 
available at:

http://www.ditrack.org/files/ditrack-0.5-beta.tgz

The release tarball lacks the documentation for the latest features; 
this is what I'm going to be updating before the 0.5 release.

Below is the changelog:

v.0.5, XX-Mar-2006
==================

* The database format has changed (see the README file for the upgrading
instructions).

* Support for disconnected operations added (new commands: 'commit', 'remove',
'status'; the 'act' and 'new' commands modified accordingly).

* Installation script is now provided in the distributive.

* Categories may now be marked as disabled (and thus won't appear in menus)
(i#73).

* Added the 'resolution' header for closed issues (e.g. 'dropped', 'fixed', 
'invalid') (i#75).

* It is now possible to specify user id through the '--user'/'-u' command line
option or by setting the DITRACK_USER environment variable (i#98).

* The 'act' command will now display titles of the issues worked on (i#74).

* The 'cat' command now accepts arguments of the syntax X.Y, meaning "display
comment Y of issue X".

* A new command line option for the 'cat' command: '--headers-only'.

* Duplicate user accounts in the configuration are now detected.

* Fixed: dt-createdb doesn't set 'ditrack:format' property (i#72).

* Fixed: unhandled exception if database root specified doesn't exist (i#76)

* Fixed: the usage of filters in 'ls' cause unhandled exception if database
path is invalid (i#81).

* Fixed: referencing nonexistent header from a filter results in a crash
(i#96).

* Fixed: assertion fault on empty 'DT-New-*' header.

* Fixed: 'cat' handles invalid entity ids ungracefully (i#88, i#94).

* The debug output enabled by the DITRACK_DEBUG environment variable.

* Added the test suite (48 testcases).
