Here are some relevant changes since 1.10: * Anonymous read-only access can now be done without requiring a password. On the server side, simply give that user (presumably `anonymous') an empty password in the CVSROOT/passwd file, and then any received password will authenticate successfully. * The -d command line option no longer updates the CVS/Root file. For one thing, the CVS 1.9/1.10 behavior never had updated CVS/Root in subdirectories, and for another, it didn't seem that popular in general. So this change restores the CVS 1.8 behavior (which is also the CVS 1.9/1.10 behavior if the environment variable CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT is set; with this change, CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT no longer has any effect). I plan to upgrade my personal CVS clients, and to think about upgrading the CVS server on cvs.xemacs.org. Martin
