 Being a good little Open Source citizen, I contributed my changes back to Urbancode. But I think they've lost interest in Anthill OS. Some made it in, but most have barely been acknowledged. So I'm making them available for anyone who wants them. Being a good little Open Source citizen, I contributed my changes back to Urbancode. But I think they've lost interest in Anthill OS.

 +===== Known problems =====
 +
 +==== Mercurial adapter and changes with lots of files ====
 +
 +Changes with a lots of files may cause trouble using the Mercurial adapter.
 +
 +The problem is that currently I am using a regular expression ''(.*)'' to match the list of filenames. Against a long stream of text, this may cause a stack overflow.
 +
 +At some stage I will adjust the regular expression to be more sparing of stack. Until then, I have got round the problem locally by starting ''tomcat'' with the JVM command line flag ''-Xss2M''. This gives each thread 2Mb of stack, which is enough to keep me going for now.
 +
 +==== Versioned build ====
 +
 +The ''Versioned Build'' links don't work at the moment.
