This has been fixed. * New "cvs rlog" and "cvs rannotate" commands have been added to get log messages and annotations without having to have a checked-out copy. +* Exclusive revision ranges have been added to "cvs log" using :: +(similar to "cvs admin -o"). + * The VMS client now accepts wildcards if you're running VMS 7.x. * ZLIB has been updated to version 1.1.3, the most current version.
