5
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
8
high-latency connections.
12
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
15
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
16
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
18
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
19
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
20
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
21
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
23
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
24
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
26
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
27
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
29
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
30
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
31
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
33
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
34
for files with only a change to their executable status.
35
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
38
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
39
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
41
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
42
different partial views of history.
44
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
45
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
50
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
51
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
52
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
54
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
55
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
58
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
59
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
61
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
64
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
65
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
67
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
68
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
69
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
70
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
72
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
74
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
75
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
78
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
79
Contributed by Robert Collins.
81
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
82
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
83
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
88
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
89
for your viewing pleasure.
91
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
92
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
94
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
95
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
96
handling of such circumstances.
101
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
102
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
104
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
105
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
112
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
114
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
117
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
119
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
121
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
122
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
126
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
127
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
129
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
130
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
131
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
132
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
135
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
136
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
140
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
142
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
143
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
150
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
151
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
152
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
153
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
156
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
159
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
160
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
161
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
162
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
163
for the operating system is still tried.
165
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
166
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
167
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
172
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
176
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
178
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
181
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
187
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
189
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
