v0.5.0

Warning: there is a bug in this version that means the database will not be created if the .tmsu directory does not exist. Please create the directory by hand (e.g. mkdir ~/.tmsu) until this is fixed.

Note: This release has some important changes, including the renaming of
some options, the introduction of local databases and a switch from absolute
to relative paths in the database. Please read the following release notes
carefully.

• The --untagged option on the 'files' and 'status' subcommands has been
  replaced by a new 'untagged' subcommand, which should be more intuitive.
• The --all option on the 'files', 'tags' and 'values' subcommands has been
  removed. These commands now list the full set of files/tags/values when run
  without arguments. For the 'tags' subcommand this replaces the previous
  behaviour of listing tags for the files in the working directory: use 'tmsu
  tags *' for approximately the previous behaviour.
• The 'repair' subcommand --pretend short option has changed from -p to -P (so
  that -p can be recycled for --path).
• The 'repair' subcommand's argument now specify paths to search for moved
  files and no longer limit how much of the database is repaired. A new --path
  argument is provided for reducing the repair to a portion of the database.
• A new --manual option on the 'repair' subcommand allows targetted repair of
  moved files or directories.
• The exclamation mark character (!) is no longer permitted within a tag or
  value name. Please rename tags using the 'rename' command. (Value names will
  need to be updated manually using the Sqlite3 tooling.)
• Added --colour option to the 'tags' subcommand to highlight implied tags.
• 'tag' subcommand will, by default, no longer explicitly apply tags that are
  already implied (unless the new --explicit option is specified).
• Added subcommand aliases, e.g. 'query' for 'files'.
• It is now possible to tag a broken symbolic link: instead of an error this
  will now be reported as a warning.
• It is now possible to remove tags with values via the VFS.
• 'tag' subcommand can tag multiple files with different tags by reading from
  standard input by passing an argument of '-'.
• TMSU will now automatically use a local database in .tmsu/db in working
  directory or any parent. The new 'init' subcommand allows a new local
  database to be initialized. See Switching Databases for detail.
• Paths are now stored relative to the .tmsu directory's parent rather than as
  absolute paths. This allows a branch of the filesystem to be moved around,
  shared or archived whilst preserving the tagging information. Existing
  absolute paths can be converted by running a manual repair: tmsu repair --manual / /
• Added 'config' subcommand to view and amend settings.
• The 'help' subcommand now wraps textual output to fit the terminal.
• Rudimentary Microsoft Windows support (no virtual filesystem yet).
• TMSU can now be built without the Makefile.
• Bug fixes.

v0.4.3

• Fixed unit-test problems.

v0.4.2

• Fixed bug where 'dynamic:MD5' and 'dynamic:SHA1' fingerprint algorithms were actually using SHA256.

v0.4.1

• Tag values are now shown as directories in the virtual filesystem.

v0.4.0

Note: This release changes the database schema to facilitate tag values. To upgrade your existing v0.3.0 database please run the following:

$ cp ~/.tmsu/default.db ~/.tmsu/default.db.backup
$ sqlite3 -init misc/db-upgrade/0.3_to_0.4.0.sql ~/.tmsu/default.db .q

• Added support for tag values, e.g. 'tmsu tag song.mp3 country=uk' and the querying of files based upon these values, e.g. 'year > 2000'.
• 'tags' and 'values' subcommands now tabulate output, by default, when run from terminal.
• Added ability to configure which fingerprint algorithm to use.
• Implied tags now calculated on-the-fly when the database is queried. This results in a (potentially) smaller database and ability to have updates to the implied tags affect previously tagged files.
• Added --explicit option to 'files' and 'tags' subcommands to show only explicit tags (omitting any implied tags).
• Added --path option to 'files' subcommand to retrieve just those files matching or under the path specified.
• Added --untagged option to 'files' subcommand which, when combined with --path, will also include untagged files from the filesystem at the specified path.
• Removed the --recursive option from the 'files' subcommand which was flawed: use 'tmsu files query | xargs find' instead.
• Added ability to configure whether new tags and values are automatically created or not or a per-database basis.
• Added --unmodified option to 'repair' subcommand to force the recalculation of fingerprints of unmodified files.
• Renamed --force option of 'repair' subcommand to --remove.
• Added support for textual comparison operators: 'eq', 'ne', 'lt', 'gt', 'le' and 'ge', which do not need escaping unlike '<', '>', &c.
• Improved Zsh completion with respect to tag values.
• Significant performance improvements.
• Removed support for '-' operator: use 'not' instead.
• Bug fixes.

v0.3.0

Note: This release changes what tag names are allowed. To ensure the tag names in your existing databases are still valid, please run the following script:

$ cp ~/.tmsu/default.db ~/.tmsu/default.db.backup
$ sqlite3 -init misc/db-upgrade/clean_tag_names.sql ~/.tmsu/default.db

• Added support for file queries, e.g. 'fish and chips and (mushy-peas or ketchup)'.
• Added support for file query directories in the virtual filesystem.
• Added global option --database for specifying database location.
• Added ability to rename and delete tags via the virtual filesystem.
• 'tag' subcommand now allows tags to be created up front.
• 'copy' and 'imply' subcommands now support multiple destination tags.
• Improved 'stats' subcommand.
• Added man page.
• Added script to allow the virtual filesystem to be mounted via the system 'mount' command or on startup via the fstab.
• Bug fixes.

v0.2.0

• Added support for tag implications, e.g. tag 'a' implies 'b'. New 'imply' subcommand for managing these.
• Added --force option to 'repair' subcommand to remove missing files (and associated taggings) from the database.
• Added --from option to 'tag' subcommand to allow tags to copied from one file to another. e.g. 'tmsu tag -f a b' will apply file b's tags to file a. ('tag -r -f a a' will recursively retag a directory's contents.)
• Added --directory option to 'status' subcommand to stop it recursively processing directory contents.
• Added --print0 option to 'files' subcommand to allow use with xargs.
• Added --count option to 'tags' and 'files' subcommand to list tag/file count rather than names.
• Bug fixes and unit-test improvements.
