I have changed the version control system used to develop Soks from
!
!4!
!
to
!
!5!
!
.
That means that the source code is no longer kept at
www.rubyforge.org, but is instead at
www.counsell.org/darcs.
Packaged releases will still be made at rubyforge.
The reason for the change is that Darcs works more like I do:
it records changes across multiple files together,
it allows
‘off-line’
changes to be recorded and merged later and it makes managing fixes acrosss branches very easy.

There are now three repositories:
—

!
>

!

!
, that contains code that has been,
or will shortly be,
released.
!
!10!
!
!
!11!
!
!
!12!
!
, that contians code that will probably make it to the next release.
www.soks.org uses the code from here.
!

!

!
!
!15!
!
, that contains ideas and experiments.

There is a repository browser at
http://www.counsell.org/darcs.
If you wish to download the code without using darcs,
take a look at
http://www.counsell.org/darcs/soks-stable.
