VCI 0.1.1
I just uploaded VCI 0.1.1 to CPAN! :-) I added tests for every driver, which found and fixed all sorts of bugs. Tests Are Good. This is the first version of VCI that I'd feel fairly comfortable about recommending that people use, which is pretty good since the first version was only about a week and a half ago.

This version also has the ability to see a Commit as a Diff, so you can see what changes were made to the files.

I started thinking, "Hrm, what would I use VCI for?" and the first thing that came to mind was improving Bugzilla's "patch reader" to work with multiple VCSes. So I'm going to be adding functionality in that direction.

Next will be parsing an already-existing diff from a VCS and creating a Commit or Diff object out of it. You could actually already do that, but it wouldn't really have enough info for Bugzilla to use it.

Also, I think the Bonsai guys are going to use VCI to make a new version of Bonsai that can interact with different VCSes than just CVS, so that's pretty exciting. I'm really looking forward to seeing how people use VCI, and what they use it for. :-) If you're using it, let me know!

Oh, and I have an IRC channel for VCI now, too: #vci on irc.perl.org. I'm there whenever I'm online, pretty much.
