* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
13
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
14
has been added that suppresses all output.
16
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
19
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
22
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
23
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
25
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
26
a revision. (Robert Collins)
28
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
29
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
30
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
31
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
33
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
35
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
36
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
38
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
39
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
43
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
44
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
45
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
47
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
48
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
49
related questions. (Robert Collins)
51
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one feels, unless '--one'
52
is given. (Martin Pool)
54
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
55
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
56
file. (Robert Collins)
60
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
61
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
62
representation. (Martin Pool).
64
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
65
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
66
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
68
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
71
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
72
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
75
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
76
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
77
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
78
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
79
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
81
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
82
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
83
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
84
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
85
python path. (Robert Collins)
87
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
88
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
89
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
90
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
92
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
93
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
95
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
96
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
99
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
100
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
101
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
103
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
104
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
105
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
107
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
108
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
110
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
111
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
112
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
115
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
116
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
117
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
118
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
121
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
124
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
125
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
128
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
129
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
130
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
132
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
133
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
134
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
136
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
137
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
138
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
142
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
143
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
149
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
150
allow directories to be listed.
152
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
153
upgrading branch format.
157
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
164
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
165
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
166
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
167
high-latency connections.
171
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
174
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
175
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
177
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
178
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
179
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
180
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
182
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
183
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
185
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
186
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
188
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
189
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
190
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
192
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
193
for files with only a change to their executable status.
194
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
197
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
198
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
200
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
201
different partial views of history.
203
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
204
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
209
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
210
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
211
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
213
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
214
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
217
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
218
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
220
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
223
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
224
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
226
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
227
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
228
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
229
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
231
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
233
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
234
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
237
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
238
Contributed by Robert Collins.
240
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
241
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
242
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
247
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
248
for your viewing pleasure.
250
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
251
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
253
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
254
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
255
handling of such circumstances.
260
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
261
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
263
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
264
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
271
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
273
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
276
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
278
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
280
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
281
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
285
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5
* Status now accepted a -r argument to give status between chosen
