We have moved the remaining NiH repositories (cftp, cg, dccserver, img2eps, malint, NeoPop-SDL, ttftot42) from our own Mercurial server to GitHub: nih-at.

This makes it easier to contribute to our software. Feel free to use the issue tracker to report bugs, or submit fixes via pull requests. But please note that these tools are deprecated, so we still will not spend much effort on them.

hg.nih.at has been retired. If you have a Mercurial checkout, please check out a fresh copy from github:

git clone https://github.com/nih-at/$REPOSITORY.git

The web page has been improved and new features have been added:

The repository browser is now integrated into the website; mailing list archives have been added; and news, release announcements. and commits are available as RSS feeds.

We switched from CVS to Mercurial, a distributed version control system.

anoncvs.nih.at has been replaced by hg.nih.at.
