CVS is a popular version control system, dating back to the early 80’s, and still widely used today.  We use CVS to manage development on the Tekkotsu project, and found it would be useful to notify users of updates that are made to the software between releases.

cvslog2web provides a link between the CVS commits and web output, via several formats:

1. Atom syndication format (an IETF standardized RSS format)
   

2. XHTML "recently updated" index
   

3. Individual log entry pages ("permalinks")
   

Each of these formats has its own advantages, and you can see them in action at the cvslog2web website as well as the Tekkotsu website.
