41 -portable ships with an experimental/work-in-progress cvg(1) utility, which
42 is disable by default, but can be enabled via the configure flag

55 This release also introduces 'gotd', which is got's server implementation. By
56 extension, other tools are also introduced to work with gotd, and they are:
62 For more information about gotd, see gotd(8), as well as the above command man
63 pages where necessary. Note that gotd's portable implementation uses chroot()
64 to ensure some separation; this still requires the main gotd binary to run as
67 To enable gotd and the corresponding other tools which work with it, you must
68 pass the '--enable-gotd' ./configure flag.
70 Further installation instructions can be found in the README.portable file in
71 the root directory of the project.

110 * Changes from got-0.85.
112 There's been a tonne of -portable-specific changes in this release which aim
113 to make portability easier across the supported systems. In particular,
114 there's been a lot of header cleanups, and now that -portable is using
115 config.h, this has allowed dependencies to be split out, so that ncurses is
116 only linked where required (tog). This should allow for multipacking where
119 There have also been some great improvements to regress (which is the test
120 suite) to remove GNU-specific wrappers for date(1), sed(1), ln(1).
122 There's too many commits to list here, but for the specifics, see the
123 differences between '0.84.1..0.85'.
125 Thanks in particular to Christian "naddy" Weisgerber for his help with this
126 work, and this -portable release.

176 This is a bug-fix -portable release to address the following:
178 * portable: macos: look for GNU Bison in more places, based on whether brew or
179 MacPorts is in use, and failing to find Bison that way, look in a few
180 hard-coded but likely locations.
