5
* New 'manifest' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
11
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
15
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
16
has been added that suppresses all output.
20
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
25
* The --pattern option has been removed, now test specifiers on the
26
command line can be simple strings, or regexps, or both.
28
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
29
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
37
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
38
allow directories to be listed.
40
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
41
upgrading branch format.
45
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
52
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
53
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
54
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
55
high-latency connections.
59
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
62
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
63
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
65
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
66
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
67
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
68
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
70
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
71
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
73
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
74
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
76
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
77
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
78
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
80
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
81
for files with only a change to their executable status.
82
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
85
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
86
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
88
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
89
different partial views of history.
91
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
92
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
97
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
98
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
99
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
101
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
102
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
105
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
106
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
108
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
111
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
112
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
114
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
115
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
116
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
117
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
119
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
121
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
122
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
125
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
126
Contributed by Robert Collins.
128
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
129
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
130
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
135
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
136
for your viewing pleasure.
138
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
139
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
141
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
142
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
143
handling of such circumstances.
148
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
149
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
151
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
152
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
159
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
161
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
164
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
166
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
168
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
169
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
173
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
174
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
176
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
177
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
178
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
179
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
182
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
183
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
187
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
189
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
190
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
197
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
198
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
199
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
200
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
203
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
206
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
207
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
208
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
209
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
210
for the operating system is still tried.
212
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
213
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
214
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
219
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
223
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
225
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
228
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
234
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
236
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
243
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
244
help with intelligent shell completion.
246
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
251
* Much better merge support.
253
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
254
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
260
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
261
mention revisions that are not present.
263
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
265
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
267
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
268
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
273
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
275
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
276
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
282
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
283
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
