bzr development version
6
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7
convention. Paths now take the form:
8
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
13
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
15
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
16
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
17
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
19
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
20
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
21
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
22
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
24
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
25
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
28
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
30
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
32
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
33
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
34
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
35
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
38
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
40
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
41
behaviour. They use the existing serverless-mode and store no data
42
locally. As such they are not suitable for use except in high bandwidth
43
low latency environments like LAN's or local disk. (Robert Collins)
45
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
47
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
49
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
52
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
53
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
55
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
56
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
59
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
60
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
63
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
67
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
68
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
69
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
70
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
72
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
73
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
76
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
79
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
81
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
82
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
83
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
85
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
86
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
88
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
89
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
90
paths. (Robert Collins)
92
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
93
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
94
needs. (Robert Collins)
96
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
97
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
98
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
100
* Progress bars are now nested - see
101
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
105
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
106
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
108
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
109
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
110
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
111
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
113
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
114
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
115
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
116
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
117
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
120
bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
124
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
125
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
127
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
128
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
129
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
132
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
133
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
135
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
136
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
137
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
138
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
141
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
142
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
143
used. (Robert Collins)
145
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
146
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
149
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
150
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
151
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
153
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
156
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
157
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
161
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
162
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
164
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
166
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
168
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
169
tree. (Robert Collins)
171
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
172
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
173
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
176
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
179
* Tweaks to short log printing
181
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
184
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
185
occurs. (Martin Pool)
187
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
188
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
190
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
191
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
193
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
194
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
195
settings. (Magnus Therning)
197
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
198
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
200
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
201
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
204
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
205
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
207
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
208
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
210
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
211
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
213
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
216
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
217
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
219
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
220
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
222
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
223
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
224
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
228
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
230
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
232
* Error when run with -OO
234
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
237
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
239
* Change status to 3 for all errors
241
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
242
ignored by diff and status
244
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
245
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
247
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
249
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
251
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
252
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
254
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
255
email address. (Marien Zwart)
257
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
260
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
261
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
263
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
265
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
266
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
268
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
271
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
274
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
278
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
279
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
281
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
283
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
285
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
287
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
288
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
289
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
291
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
293
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
296
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
298
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
299
If adding a new test script please add that to
300
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
302
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
303
imported. (Martin Pool)
305
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
306
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
307
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
308
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
309
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
312
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
313
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
314
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
316
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
317
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
318
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
320
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
321
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
322
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
323
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
324
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
327
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
328
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
333
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
334
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
336
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
337
function. (Robert Collins)
339
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
340
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
341
if needed). (Robert Collins)
343
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
344
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
346
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
347
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
348
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
349
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
350
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
351
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
352
version. (Robert Collins)
354
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
355
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
357
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
358
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
359
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
360
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
361
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
362
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
364
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
367
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
375
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
377
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
379
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
382
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
383
query method. (Robert Collins)
385
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
388
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
391
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
395
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
396
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
397
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
398
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
400
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
401
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
402
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
403
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
405
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
406
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
412
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
415
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
419
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
420
a separator, not ':'.
423
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
424
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
425
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
427
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
428
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
431
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
432
has been added that suppresses all output.
434
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
437
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
440
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
441
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
443
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
444
a revision. (Robert Collins)
446
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
447
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
448
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
449
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
451
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
453
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
454
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
456
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
457
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
459
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
460
output directory, if one was supplied.
462
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
463
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
464
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
465
parameters. (Robert Collins)
467
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
469
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
470
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
472
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
473
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
474
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
476
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
477
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
479
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
482
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
484
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
488
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
489
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
490
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
492
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
493
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
494
related questions. (Robert Collins)
496
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
497
is given. (Martin Pool)
499
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
500
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
501
file. (Robert Collins)
503
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
508
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
509
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
510
representation. (Martin Pool).
512
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
513
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
514
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
516
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
519
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
520
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
523
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
524
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
525
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
526
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
527
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
529
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
530
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
531
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
532
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
533
python path. (Robert Collins)
535
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
536
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
537
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
538
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
540
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
541
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
543
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
544
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
547
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
548
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
549
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
551
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
552
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
553
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
555
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
556
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
558
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
559
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
560
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
563
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
564
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
565
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
566
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
569
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
572
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
573
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
576
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
577
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
578
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
580
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
581
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
582
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
584
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
585
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
586
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
588
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
589
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
591
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
592
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
593
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
594
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
595
caller. (Robert Collins)
597
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
598
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
601
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
602
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
604
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
606
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
607
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
611
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
612
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
614
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
615
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
622
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
623
allow directories to be listed.
625
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
626
upgrading branch format.
630
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
637
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
638
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
639
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
640
high-latency connections.
644
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
647
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
648
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
650
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
651
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
652
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
653
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
655
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
656
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
658
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
659
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
661
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
662
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
663
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
665
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
666
for files with only a change to their executable status.
667
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
670
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
671
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
673
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
674
different partial views of history.
676
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
677
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
682
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
683
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
684
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
686
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
687
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
690
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
691
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
693
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
696
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
697
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
699
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
700
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
701
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
702
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
704
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
706
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
707
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
710
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
711
Contributed by Robert Collins.
713
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
714
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
715
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
720
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
721
for your viewing pleasure.
723
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
724
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
726
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
727
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
728
handling of such circumstances.
733
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
734
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
736
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
737
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
744
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
746
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
749
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
751
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
753
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
754
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
758
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
759
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
761
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
762
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
763
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
764
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
767
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
768
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
772
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
774
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
775
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
782
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
783
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
784
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
785
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
788
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
791
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
792
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
793
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
794
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
795
for the operating system is still tried.
797
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
798
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
799
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
804
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
808
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
810
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
813
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
819
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
821
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
828
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
829
help with intelligent shell completion.
831
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
836
* Much better merge support.
838
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
839
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
845
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
846
mention revisions that are not present.
848
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
850
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
852
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
853
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
858
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
860
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
861
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
867
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
868
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
877
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
878
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
880
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
882
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
883
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
885
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
888
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
890
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
893
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
894
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
896
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
897
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
898
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
903
* Faster working tree operations.
908
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
909
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
910
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
911
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
913
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
914
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
915
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
916
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
917
standard plugins directory.
919
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
920
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
921
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
922
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
924
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
925
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
927
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
930
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
931
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
932
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
934
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
935
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
937
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
938
line options must come before the command name because they
939
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
940
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
943
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
945
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
946
is available with ``--short``.
951
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
958
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
959
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
961
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
962
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
963
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
964
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
966
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
967
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
968
with the ``--forward`` option.
970
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
971
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
977
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
978
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
980
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
982
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
983
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
985
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
987
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
988
either read or write mode.
990
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
992
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
995
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
997
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
998
suggested by LarstiQ.
1000
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1001
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1003
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1006
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1007
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1009
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1010
haven't changed since the previous time.
1012
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1013
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1015
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1017
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1019
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1020
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1022
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1023
options through to an external GNU diff.
1025
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1028
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1034
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1035
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1037
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1043
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1044
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1047
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1048
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1050
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1051
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1053
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1054
under a different version.
1056
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1061
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1063
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1064
Scott James Remnant.
1066
* Better help messages for many commands.
1068
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1069
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1071
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1072
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1074
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1076
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1078
* New AtomicFile class.
1080
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1085
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1086
2.4 is now only recommended.
1089
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1093
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1094
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1096
* More default ignore patterns.
1098
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1099
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1101
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1103
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1106
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1111
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1112
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1113
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1114
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1115
there are DNS problems.
1117
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1122
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1124
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1126
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1127
trailing newlines properly.
1132
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1135
* More tests in test.sh.
1137
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1138
directory and delete it when done.
1140
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1145
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1148
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1152
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1156
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1159
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1161
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1164
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1167
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1169
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1173
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1174
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1179
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1180
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1185
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1189
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1196
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
1199
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
1203
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
1205
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
1206
rather than replacing it.
1208
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
1212
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
1215
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
1216
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
1218
* Performance improvements.
1220
* New global --profile option.
1222
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
1223
the root directory only.
1226
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
1230
* More information from info command.
1232
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
1234
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
1235
committing to stores.
1237
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
1241
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
1245
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
1246
installation easier.
1248
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
1252
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
1256
* First public release.
1258
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
