CVSspam sends email when a change is committed to the CVS repository. Syntax-highlighted diffs describe the changes made, and links to Web frontends on CVS and bug tracking systems are generated where possible.
Information regarding Project Releases and Project Resources. Note that the information here is a quote from Freecode.com page, and the downloads themselves may not be hosted on OSDN.
Incorrectly targeted internal HTML links within the email body have
been fixed. [[Wiki Links]] in the commit log comment can now be turned
into hyperlinks. Non-ASCII characters in an email address will now be
encoded. The presence of the CVS -kb option on a file will prevent it
being diffed. Other minor enhancements have been made.
The release prevents a lone dot ('.') on a line in the log comment breaking notification mail, and log comments entered on a Mac sometimes breaking the subject header. New options were added to control when and if diffs are included in the message, and a few other minor bugs were fixed.
The amount of diff-output included in notification
email messages is now limited (at around 2MiB).
Incompatible changes in the CVS 1.12.x series
hook-script interface are now accounted for,
fixing "Expected arguments missing" error
messages. A workaround for "received broken pipe
signal" errors seen by some users was added. A
couple of other code and documentation problems
are now addressed.
This release will take sender email addresses from the CVSROOT/users config file, if it exists. Super-long lines in diff output are truncated to 1000 characters. A minor bug with the filenames-in-mail-subject option was fixed.
Mail can now be sent using Net::SNMP, which is
useful for people with no MTA on their CVS
server. The ViewCVS support was extended to
handle configurations with multiple
repositories. The documentation was reorganized
a bit, and some undocumented features were
noted. A few 'uninitialized variable' warnings
were fixed.
