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.
196
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
197
help with intelligent shell completion.
199
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
204
* Much better merge support.
206
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
207
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
213
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
214
mention revisions that are not present.
216
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
218
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
220
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
221
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
226
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
228
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
229
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
235
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
236
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
245
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
246
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
248
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
250
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
251
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
253
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
256
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
258
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
261
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
262
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
264
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
265
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
266
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
271
* Faster working tree operations.
276
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
277
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
278
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
279
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
281
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
282
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
283
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
284
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
285
standard plugins directory.
287
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
288
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
289
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
290
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
292
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
293
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
295
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
298
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
299
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
300
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
302
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
303
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
305
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
306
line options must come before the command name because they
307
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
308
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
311
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
313
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
314
is available with ``--short``.
319
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
326
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
327
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
329
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
330
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
331
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
332
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
334
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
335
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
336
with the ``--forward`` option.
338
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
339
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
345
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
346
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
348
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
350
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
351
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
353
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
355
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
356
either read or write mode.
358
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
360
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
363
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
365
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
366
suggested by LarstiQ.
368
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
369
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
371
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
374
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
375
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
377
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
378
haven't changed since the previous time.
380
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
381
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
383
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
385
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
387
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
388
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
390
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
391
options through to an external GNU diff.
393
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
396
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
402
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
403
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
405
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
411
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
412
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
415
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
416
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
418
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
419
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
421
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
422
under a different version.
424
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
429
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
431
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
434
* Better help messages for many commands.
436
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
437
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
439
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
440
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
442
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
444
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
446
* New AtomicFile class.
448
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
453
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
454
2.4 is now only recommended.
461
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
462
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
464
* More default ignore patterns.
466
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
467
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
469
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
471
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
474
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
479
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
480
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
481
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
482
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
483
there are DNS problems.
485
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
490
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
492
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
494
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
495
trailing newlines properly.
500
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
503
* More tests in test.sh.
505
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
506
directory and delete it when done.
508
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
513
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
516
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
524
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
527
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
529
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
532
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
535
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
537
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
541
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
542
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
547
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
548
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
553
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
557
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
564
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
567
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
571
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
573
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
574
rather than replacing it.
576
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
580
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
583
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
584
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
586
* Performance improvements.
588
* New global --profile option.
590
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
591
the root directory only.
598
* More information from info command.
600
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
602
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
603
committing to stores.
605
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
609
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
613
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
616
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
620
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
