git 2.0.4

mv_git — git for hash-file records. Source + prebuilt mvx/udt binaries; indexed by the package registry.

• Merge pull request #237 from mvx-lang/develop (#237)

UniData

• udt: assign GLIST before the SELECT fills it (#232)

UniVerse

• uv: a repair says so, so the next split is evidence (#208)
• udt/uv: clone honours its ref argument (#233)

git 2.1.0-rc1

Same tree as 2.1.0-beta6, promoted. Nothing has changed since; the six betas are what this asks about.

2.1 is the jBASE port and the two ports that could not install cleanly learning to. Twenty-nine issues since 2.0.3.

Compatibility, unchanged from 2.0: the control format changed in 2.0, and a 2.x repository must not be opened with 1.6.x.

The jBASE port — #114

jBASE joins MVX, UniData and UniVerse as a shipping port, with its own binary artifact.

• #125 jb-git gains adopt
• #177 thirteen programs used jBASE reserved words as identifiers
• #179 GIT.OBJ had no jBASE branch for most git-object operations
• #180 the suite read MVXGIT on the verb arm, where it is not set
• #183 GIT ATTR read file geometry that does not exist there
• #184 GIT CLONE spent a second licence seat handing over to jb-git
• #175 LINK swallowed the catalog output, so failed compiles were invisible
• #201 mvpkg.json did not declare jbase, so mvpkg would not install mv_git there
• #203 dictionary associations were not remapped
• #204 default column lists (_PH_ / &PH& phrases) did not cross platforms

Installable by the package manager

Two ports could not be installed cleanly by mvpkg. Both can now — verified end to end from published artifacts, with a released client.

• #212 UniData: an mvpkg install could not compile at all. Every program opens $INCLUDE BP.INC PLATFORM.H, and only the package's own install.sh registered that name — which an mvpkg install never runs. The package declares the include now (needs mvpkg ≥ 1.22.0).
• #224 GIT.RPC had never compiled on UniData. It is UniVerse's transport, guarded "not MVX" — which is not the set that has WRITEBLK/READBLK. The installer also sent the compiler's output to /dev/null, so a failed compile left the old object in place and reported success; it now keeps the output, stops on a failure, and no longer feeds UniData's own compiled objects back to the compiler.
• #226 / #208 UniVerse could not repair an account, only build one. A file there is a VOC record and the directories behind it, and those come apart. The install answered "already a file, nothing to do" for a name that named nothing; where it had deleted the directories itself, CREATE.FILE refused to re-make them, so the state was unrecoverable by the code that made it. It repairs now, and reports what CREATE.FILE said when it cannot.
• #187, #165 the UniVerse suite's races with the two-seat licence, and the three different wrong ways it reported them

Asking mv_git what it is

• #215 GIT VERSION / GIT --VERSION could not answer outside a repository — the first thing anyone types after installing — and the UniData in-session engine reported no version at all
• #218 a branch name is not a version: $GITHUB_REF_NAME is set on every Actions run, so builds off a tag stamped themselves main, in the binaries and the shipped manifests
• #221 2.1.0-beta4's UniData binary shipped as mv_git 0; a release that cannot name itself now fails instead

Correctness and the repository's own furniture

• #161 the repository still carried furniture it now refuses to stage
• #163 UniData: add and status disagreed about a record's trailing empty attribute
• #168 the verb record is derived; declared in VERBS instead
• #171 the master dictionary's F* records travel, and they are the platform's
• #172 the fresh-account assertion counted records that legitimately travel
• #189 libgit2's ownership check refused the operator's account
• #192 a clone that could not run was reported as success
• #164 udt-callc: a duplicate object is fatal now, not a warning

Release engineering

• #159 CI on every merge to main/develop, and no release unless every port is green
• #209 concurrent jobs raced to create the release; the loser left a draft
