  • RBTools 5.2: Compatibility Updates

    March 24, 2025

    RBTools is a set of command line tools and Python API for working with code and document reviews on Review Board.

    Today's release of RBTools 5.2 improves compatibility across the product and fixes a few bugs. Highlights include:

    • Subversion patches can now be applied when the patch originates from a different part of the repository (such as a different branch or tag).
    • Mercurial revision lookups no longer result in unwanted debug output.
    • ClearCase repositories can once again be located when using Review Board versions prior to 7.0.1.
    • rbt patch --print can now be used when configuring advanced repository path matching using TREES in .reviewboardrc.
    • Binary file types can now be detected when the file command isn't available.

    See the release notes for the full list of changes.

    To learn more about RBTools, see the RBTools downloads page and RBTools 5.2 documentation.

    Let's upgrade!

    To upgrade RBTools on Linux and macOS, run:

    $ pip3 install -U RBTools
    

    A Windows installer for RBTools is also available.
