FEATURES

       Features as described on the fossil home page.

       1.  Integrated Bug Tracking, Wiki, & Technotes - In addition to doing distributed  version
              control  like  Git  and  Mercurial,  Fossil  also  supports bug tracking, wiki, and
              technotes.

       2.  Built-in Web Interface - Fossil has  a  built-in  and  intuitive  web  interface  that
              promotes  project  situational awareness. Type "fossil ui" and Fossil automatically
              opens a web browser to a page that shows  detailed  graphical  history  and  status
              information on that project.

       3.  Self-Contained - Fossil is a single self-contained stand-alone executable. To install,
              simply download a precompiled binary for Linux, Mac, OpenBSD, or Windows and put it
              on  your  $PATH.  Easy-to-compile  source  code  is  available  for  users on other
              platforms.

       4.  Simple Networking - No custom protocols or TCP ports. Fossil uses plain old  HTTP  (or
              HTTPS  or  SSH)  for  all  network  communications,  so  it  works fine from behind
              restrictive firewalls, including proxies. The protocol is  bandwidth  efficient  to
              the point that Fossil can be used comfortably over dial-up.

       5.   CGI/SCGI  Enabled  -  No  server  is  required, but if you want to set one up, Fossil
              supports four simple server configurations.

       6.  Autosync - Fossil supports "autosync" mode which helps to keep projects moving forward
              by  reducing  the  amount  of  needless  forking  and merging often associated with
              distributed projects.

       7.  Robust & Reliable - Fossil stores content using an enduring file format in  an  SQLite
              database  so  that  transactions  are atomic even if interrupted by a power loss or
              system crash. Automatic self-checks verify that all aspects of the  repository  are
              consistent prior to each commit. In over seven years of operation, no work has ever
              been lost after having been committed to a Fossil repository.
