bzr-0.0.1 NOT RELEASED YET
5
* 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
286
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
288
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
289
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
290
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
291
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
294
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
295
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
299
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
301
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
302
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
309
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
310
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
311
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
312
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
315
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
318
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
319
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
320
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
321
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
322
for the operating system is still tried.
324
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
325
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
326
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
331
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
335
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
337
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
340
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
346
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
348
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
355
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
356
help with intelligent shell completion.
358
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
363
* Much better merge support.
365
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
366
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
372
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
373
mention revisions that are not present.
375
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
377
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
379
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
380
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
385
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
387
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
388
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
394
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
395
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
404
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
405
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
407
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
409
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
410
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
412
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
415
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
417
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
420
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
421
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
423
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
424
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
425
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
430
* Faster working tree operations.
435
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
436
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
437
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
438
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
440
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
441
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
442
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
443
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
444
standard plugins directory.
446
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
447
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
448
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
449
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
451
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
452
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
454
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
457
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
458
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
459
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
461
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
462
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
464
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
465
line options must come before the command name because they
466
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
467
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
470
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
472
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
473
is available with ``--short``.
478
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
485
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
486
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
488
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
489
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
490
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
491
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
493
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
494
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
495
with the ``--forward`` option.
497
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
498
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
504
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
505
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
507
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
509
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
510
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
512
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
514
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
515
either read or write mode.
517
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
519
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
522
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
524
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
525
suggested by LarstiQ.
527
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
528
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
530
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
533
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
534
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
536
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
537
haven't changed since the previous time.
539
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
540
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
542
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
544
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
546
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
547
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
549
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
550
options through to an external GNU diff.
552
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
555
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
561
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
562
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
564
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
570
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
571
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
574
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
575
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
577
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
578
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
580
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
581
under a different version.
583
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
588
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
590
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
593
* Better help messages for many commands.
595
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
596
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
598
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
599
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
601
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
603
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
605
* New AtomicFile class.
607
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
612
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
613
2.4 is now only recommended.
620
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
621
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
623
* More default ignore patterns.
625
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
626
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
628
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
630
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
633
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
638
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
639
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
640
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
641
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
642
there are DNS problems.
644
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
649
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
651
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
653
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
654
trailing newlines properly.
659
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
662
* More tests in test.sh.
664
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
665
directory and delete it when done.
667
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
672
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
675
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
683
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
686
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
688
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
691
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
694
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
696
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
700
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
701
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
706
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
707
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
712
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
716
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
723
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
726
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
730
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
732
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
733
rather than replacing it.
735
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
739
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
742
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
743
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
745
* Performance improvements.
747
* New global --profile option.
749
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
750
the root directory only.
5
757
* More information from info command.
759
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
761
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
762
committing to stores.
764
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
768
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.

772
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
