[DDI-users] fida-0.9.6 is now released

[Jani Hautamäki]

fida is an element-wise XML revision tracking and version control
software written in Java.

The software can be used to do both the revision tracking
and the version control of any XML file that uses
a language similar to DDI or SDMX.

Latest news:

- Renaming of the tracked XML elements is now supported.

- Branching and merging of tracked XML elements is now supported.

- Updated lifelines display accordingly so that
   branches and merges are shown.

- Updated reference migration accordingly. There are
   new switches "-cautious", "-smart" and "-rash" that can be used
   to invoke different strategies for migrating through branched nodes.

- New command "nodeinfo" which displays information regarding
   individual tracked XML elements. More specifically, it can be
   used to list predecessors and successors for the specified node.

- New switch "-report" for the reference migration which outputs
   all the migration decisions made at branching nodes.

- New tutorial explaing the renaming, branching and merging xids.
   Also, the new reference migration strategies are discussed.
