bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
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)
56
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
57
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
58
settings. (Magnus Therning)
60
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
65
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
67
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
69
* Error when run with -OO
71
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
74
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
76
* Change status to 3 for all errors
78
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
79
ignored by diff and status
81
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
82
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
84
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
86
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
88
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
89
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
91
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
92
email address. (Marien Zwart)
94
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
97
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
98
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
100
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
102
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
103
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
107
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
108
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
110
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
112
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
114
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
116
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
117
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
118
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
120
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
122
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
125
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
129
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
130
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
132
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
133
function. (Robert Collins)
135
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
136
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
137
if needed). (Robert Collins)
139
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
140
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
142
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
143
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
144
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
145
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
146
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
147
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
148
version. (Robert Collins)
150
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
151
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
153
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
154
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
155
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
156
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
157
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
158
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
160
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
163
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
171
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
173
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
175
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
182
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
185
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
189
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
190
a separator, not ':'.
193
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
194
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
195
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
197
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
198
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
201
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
202
has been added that suppresses all output.
204
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
207
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
210
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
211
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
213
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
214
a revision. (Robert Collins)
216
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
217
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
218
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
219
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
221
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
223
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
224
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
226
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
227
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
229
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
230
output directory, if one was supplied.
232
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
233
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
234
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
235
parameters. (Robert Collins)
237
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
239
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
240
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
242
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
243
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
244
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
246
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
247
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
249
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
252
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
254
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
258
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
259
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
260
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
262
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
263
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
264
related questions. (Robert Collins)
266
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
267
is given. (Martin Pool)
269
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
270
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
271
file. (Robert Collins)
273
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
278
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
279
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
280
representation. (Martin Pool).
282
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
283
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
284
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
286
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
289
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
290
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
293
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
294
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
295
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
296
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
297
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
299
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
300
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
301
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
302
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
303
python path. (Robert Collins)
305
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
306
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
307
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
308
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
310
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
311
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
313
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
314
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
317
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
318
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
319
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
321
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
322
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
323
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
325
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
326
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
328
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
329
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
330
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
333
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
334
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
335
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
336
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
339
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
342
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
343
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
346
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
347
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
348
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
350
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
351
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
352
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
354
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
355
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
356
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
358
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
359
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
361
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
362
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
363
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
364
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
365
caller. (Robert Collins)
367
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
368
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
371
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
372
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
374
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
376
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
377
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
381
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
382
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
384
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
385
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
392
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
393
allow directories to be listed.
395
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
396
upgrading branch format.
400
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
407
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
408
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
409
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
410
high-latency connections.
414
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
417
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
418
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
420
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
421
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
422
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
423
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
425
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
426
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
428
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
429
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
431
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
432
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
433
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
435
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
436
for files with only a change to their executable status.
437
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
440
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
441
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
443
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
444
different partial views of history.
446
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
447
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
452
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
453
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
454
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
456
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
457
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
460
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
461
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
463
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
466
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
467
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
469
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
470
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
471
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
472
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
474
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
476
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
477
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
480
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
481
Contributed by Robert Collins.
483
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
484
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
485
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
490
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
491
for your viewing pleasure.
493
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
494
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
496
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
497
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
498
handling of such circumstances.
503
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
504
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
506
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
507
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
514
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
516
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
519
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
521
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
523
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
524
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
528
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
529
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
531
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
532
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
533
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
534
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
537
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
538
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
542
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
544
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
545
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
552
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
553
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
554
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
555
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
558
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
561
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
562
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
563
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
564
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
565
for the operating system is still tried.
567
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
568
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
569
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
574
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
578
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
580
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
583
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
589
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
591
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
598
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
599
help with intelligent shell completion.
601
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
606
* Much better merge support.
608
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
609
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
615
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
616
mention revisions that are not present.
618
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
620
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
622
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
623
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
628
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
630
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
631
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
637
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
638
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
647
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
648
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
650
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
652
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
653
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
655
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
658
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
660
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
663
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
664
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
666
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
667
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
668
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
673
* Faster working tree operations.
678
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
679
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
680
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
681
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
683
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
684
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
685
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
686
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
687
standard plugins directory.
689
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
690
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
691
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
692
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
694
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
695
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
697
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
700
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
701
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
702
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
704
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
705
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
707
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
708
line options must come before the command name because they
709
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
710
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
713
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
715
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
716
is available with ``--short``.
721
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
