Along with the Review Board 1.0 beta 1 release, we're also announcing a new package called RBTools, which had its first release tonight.
RBTools is the new home of post-review, and will in time contain new useful scripts for use with Review Board. No longer do users have to grab the latest version of post-review from our source trees. We'll be providing formal releases from now on.
To install, simply run the following (as root):
$ easy_install -U RBTools
Along with the new package comes some new features and fixes for post-review. A full summary is provided below:
Bugs Fixed in post-review:- The help output for --repository-url and the error output used for when --parent isn't supported was referencing the wrong names for some parameters.
- Patches generated against a git tree were broken when running post-review inside a subdirectory of the root of the tree. Patch by Luke Lu. (Bug #928)
- Fixed a parsing error when using diffs generated by Git. Patch by Stacey Sheldon.
- Removed a duplicate CVSClient class, which added to the file's size and possibly caused some errors. Patch by Lepton Wu.
- Fixed a deprecation warning when using post-review on Python 2.6. Patch by Eric Huss.
- Fixed parsing Perforce changesets that include binary files. Patch by Raghu Kaippully. (Bug #585)

- post-review can now look up the Review Board server URL from Perforce counters. See the documentation inside post-review or on the website for examples on how to set this up.
