5
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
10
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
14
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
15
to allow Branch only pulls.
17
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
20
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
21
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
24
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
25
to respectively, get and set the push location.
32
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
36
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
40
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
41
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
42
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
44
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
45
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
48
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
49
has been added that suppresses all output.
51
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
54
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
57
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
58
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
60
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
61
a revision. (Robert Collins)
63
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
64
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
65
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
66
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
68
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
70
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
71
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
73
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
74
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
76
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
77
output directory, if one was supplied.
79
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
81
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
82
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
83
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
84
parameters. (Robert Collins)
86
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
88
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
89
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
91
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
92
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
93
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
95
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
96
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
98
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
101
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
103
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
107
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
108
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
109
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
111
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
112
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
113
related questions. (Robert Collins)
115
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
116
is given. (Martin Pool)
118
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
119
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
120
file. (Robert Collins)
122
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
127
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
128
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
129
representation. (Martin Pool).
131
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
132
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
133
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
135
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
138
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
139
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
142
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
143
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
144
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
145
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
146
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
148
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
149
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
150
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
151
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
152
python path. (Robert Collins)
154
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
155
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
156
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
157
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
159
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
160
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
162
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
163
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
166
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
167
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
168
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
170
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
171
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
172
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
174
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
175
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
177
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
178
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
179
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
182
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
183
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
184
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
185
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
188
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
191
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
192
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
195
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
196
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
197
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
199
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
200
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
201
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
203
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
204
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
205
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
207
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
208
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
210
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
211
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
212
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
213
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
214
caller. (Robert Collins)
216
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
217
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
220
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
221
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
223
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
225
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
226
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
230
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
231
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
233
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
234
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
241
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
242
allow directories to be listed.
244
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
245
upgrading branch format.
249
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
256
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
257
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
258
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
259
high-latency connections.
