5
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
10
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
13
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
14
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
16
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
17
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
18
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
19
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
22
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
23
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
26
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the IETF draft spec.
27
Paths now take the form:
28
sftp://user:pass@host:port/relative/path
30
sftp://user:pass@host:port/%2Fabsolute/path
32
sftp://user:pass@host:port//absolute/path
36
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
37
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
39
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
41
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
43
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
44
tree. (Robert Collins)
46
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
47
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
48
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
51
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
54
* Tweaks to short log printing
56
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
59
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
62
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
63
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
65
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
66
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
68
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
69
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
70
settings. (Magnus Therning)
72
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
75
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
76
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
81
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
83
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
85
* Error when run with -OO
87
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
90
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
92
* Change status to 3 for all errors
94
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
95
ignored by diff and status
97
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
98
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
100
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
102
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
104
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
105
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
107
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
108
email address. (Marien Zwart)
110
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
113
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
114
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
116
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
118
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
119
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
121
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
126
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
127
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
129
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
131
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
133
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
135
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
136
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
137
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
139
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
141
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
144
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
146
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
147
If adding a new test script please add that to
148
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
150
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
151
imported. (Martin Pool)
155
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
156
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
158
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
159
function. (Robert Collins)
161
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
162
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
163
if needed). (Robert Collins)
165
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
166
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
168
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
169
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
170
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
171
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
172
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
173
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
174
version. (Robert Collins)
176
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
177
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
179
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
180
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
181
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
182
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
183
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
184
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
186
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
189
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
197
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
199
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
201
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
208
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
211
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
215
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
216
a separator, not ':'.
219
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
220
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
221
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
223
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
224
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
227
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
228
has been added that suppresses all output.
230
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
233
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
236
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
237
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
239
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
240
a revision. (Robert Collins)
242
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
243
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
244
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
245
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
247
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
249
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
250
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
252
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
253
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
255
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
256
output directory, if one was supplied.
258
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
259
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
260
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
261
parameters. (Robert Collins)
263
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
265
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
266
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
268
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
269
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
270
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
272
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
273
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
275
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
278
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
280
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
284
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
285
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
286
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
288
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
289
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
290
related questions. (Robert Collins)
292
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
293
is given. (Martin Pool)
295
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
296
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
297
file. (Robert Collins)
299
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
304
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
305
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
306
representation. (Martin Pool).
308
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
309
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
310
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
312
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
315
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
316
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
319
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
320
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
321
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
322
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
323
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
325
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
326
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
327
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
328
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
329
python path. (Robert Collins)
331
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
332
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
333
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
334
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
336
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
337
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
339
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
340
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
343
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
344
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
345
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
347
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
348
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
349
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
351
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
352
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
354
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
355
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
356
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
359
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
360
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
361
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
362
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
365
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
368
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
369
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
372
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
373
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
374
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
376
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
377
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
378
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
380
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
381
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
382
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
384
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
385
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
387
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
388
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
389
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
390
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
391
caller. (Robert Collins)
393
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
394
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
397
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
398
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
400
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
402
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
403
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
407
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
408
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
410
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
411
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
418
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
419
allow directories to be listed.
421
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
422
upgrading branch format.
426
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
