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.
24
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
25
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
27
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
29
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
31
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
32
tree. (Robert Collins)
34
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
35
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
36
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
39
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
42
* Tweaks to short log printing
44
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
47
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
50
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
51
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
53
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
54
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
58
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
60
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
62
* Error when run with -OO
64
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
67
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
69
* Change status to 3 for all errors
71
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
72
ignored by diff and status
74
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
75
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
77
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
78
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
80
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
81
email address. (Marien Zwart)
83
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
86
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PASS environment variable is
87
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
91
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
92
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
94
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
96
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
98
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
100
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
101
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
102
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
104
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
106
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
111
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
112
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
114
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
115
function. (Robert Collins)
117
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
118
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
119
if needed). (Robert Collins)
121
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
122
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
124
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
125
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
126
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
127
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
128
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
129
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
130
version. (Robert Collins)
132
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
133
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
135
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
136
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
137
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
138
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
139
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
140
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
142
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
145
* Branch.commit() has moved to WorkingTree.commit(). (Robert Collins)
152
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
155
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
159
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
160
a separator, not ':'.
163
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
164
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
165
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
167
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
168
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
171
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
172
has been added that suppresses all output.
174
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
177
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
180
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
181
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
183
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
184
a revision. (Robert Collins)
186
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
187
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
188
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
189
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
191
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
193
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
194
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
196
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
197
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
199
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
200
output directory, if one was supplied.
202
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
203
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
204
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
205
parameters. (Robert Collins)
207
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
209
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
210
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
212
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
213
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
214
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
216
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
217
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
219
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
222
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
224
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
228
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
229
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
230
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
232
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
233
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
234
related questions. (Robert Collins)
236
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
237
is given. (Martin Pool)
239
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
240
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
241
file. (Robert Collins)
243
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
248
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
249
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
250
representation. (Martin Pool).
252
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
253
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
254
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
256
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
259
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
260
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
263
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
264
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
265
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
266
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
267
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
269
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
270
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
271
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
272
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
273
python path. (Robert Collins)
275
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
276
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
277
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
278
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
280
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
281
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
283
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
284
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
287
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
288
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
289
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
291
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
292
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
293
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
295
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
296
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
298
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
299
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
300
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
303
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
304
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
305
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
306
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
309
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
312
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
313
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
316
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
317
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
318
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
320
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
321
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
322
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
324
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
325
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
326
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
328
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
329
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
331
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
332
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
333
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
334
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
335
caller. (Robert Collins)
337
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
338
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
341
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
342
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
344
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
346
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
347
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
351
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
352
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
354
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
355
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
362
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
363
allow directories to be listed.
365
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
366
upgrading branch format.
370
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
377
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
378
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
379
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
380
high-latency connections.
384
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
387
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
388
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
390
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
391
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
392
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
393
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
395
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
396
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
398
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
399
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
401
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
402
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
403
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
405
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
406
for files with only a change to their executable status.
407
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
410
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
411
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
413
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
414
different partial views of history.
416
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
417
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
422
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
423
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
424
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
426
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
427
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
430
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
431
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
433
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
436
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
437
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
439
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
440
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
441
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
442
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
444
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
446
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
447
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
450
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
451
Contributed by Robert Collins.
453
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
454
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
455
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
460
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
461
for your viewing pleasure.
463
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
464
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
466
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
467
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
468
handling of such circumstances.
473
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
474
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
476
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
477
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
484
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
486
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
489
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
491
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
493
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
494
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
498
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
499
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
501
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
502
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
503
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
504
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
507
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
508
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
512
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
514
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
515
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
522
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
523
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
524
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
525
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
528
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
531
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
532
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
533
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
534
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
535
for the operating system is still tried.
537
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
538
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
539
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
544
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
548
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
550
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
553
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
559
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
561
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
568
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
569
help with intelligent shell completion.
571
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
576
* Much better merge support.
578
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
579
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
585
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
586
mention revisions that are not present.
588
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
590
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
592
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
593
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
598
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
600
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
601
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
607
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
608
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
