* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
15
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
16
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
17
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
19
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
20
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
23
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
24
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
26
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
32
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
33
for your viewing pleasure.
38
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
39
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
46
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
48
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
51
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
53
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
55
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
56
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
60
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
61
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
63
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
64
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
65
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
66
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
69
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
70
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
74
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
76
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
77
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
84
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
85
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
86
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
87
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
90
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
93
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
94
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
95
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
96
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
97
for the operating system is still tried.
99
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
100
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
101
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
106
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
110
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
112
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
115
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
121
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
123
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
130
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
131
help with intelligent shell completion.
133
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
138
* Much better merge support.
140
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
141
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
147
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
148
mention revisions that are not present.
150
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
152
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
154
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
155
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
160
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
162
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
163
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
169
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
170
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5
179
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
18
192
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
195
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
196
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
198
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
199
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
200
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
23
205
* Faster working tree operations.
210
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
211
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
212
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
213
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
215
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
216
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
217
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
218
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
219
standard plugins directory.
27
221
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
28
222
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
29
223
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
added
removed
