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
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
23
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
24
used. (Robert Collins)
26
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
27
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
30
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the IETF
31
draft spec. Paths now take the form:
32
sftp://user:pass@host:port/relative/path
34
sftp://user:pass@host:port/%2Fabsolute/path
36
sftp://user:pass@host:port//absolute/path
38
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
39
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
40
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
42
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
45
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
46
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
50
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
51
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
53
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
55
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
57
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
58
tree. (Robert Collins)
60
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
61
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
62
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
65
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
68
* Tweaks to short log printing
70
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
73
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
76
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
77
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
79
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
80
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
82
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
83
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
84
settings. (Magnus Therning)
86
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
89
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
90
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
93
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
94
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
96
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
99
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
100
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
102
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
105
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
106
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
108
* bzr add now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
109
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
113
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
115
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
117
* Error when run with -OO
119
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
122
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
124
* Change status to 3 for all errors
126
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
127
ignored by diff and status
129
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
130
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
132
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
134
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
136
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
137
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
139
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
140
email address. (Marien Zwart)
142
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
145
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
146
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
148
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
150
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
151
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
153
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
156
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
161
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
162
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
164
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
166
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
168
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
170
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
171
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
172
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
174
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
176
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
179
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
181
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
182
If adding a new test script please add that to
183
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
185
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
186
imported. (Martin Pool)
188
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
189
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
190
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
191
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
192
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
195
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
196
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
197
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
199
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
200
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
201
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
203
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
204
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
205
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
206
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
207
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
210
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
211
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
216
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
217
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
219
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
220
function. (Robert Collins)
222
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
223
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
224
if needed). (Robert Collins)
226
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
227
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
229
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
230
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
231
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
232
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
233
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
234
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
235
version. (Robert Collins)
237
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
238
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
240
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
241
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
242
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
243
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
244
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
245
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
247
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
250
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
258
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
260
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
262
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
265
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
266
query method. (Robert Collins)
268
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
271
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
274
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
277
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
278
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
279
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
280
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
282
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
283
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
289
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
292
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
296
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
297
a separator, not ':'.
300
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
301
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
302
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
304
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
305
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
308
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
309
has been added that suppresses all output.
311
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
314
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
317
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
318
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
320
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
321
a revision. (Robert Collins)
323
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
324
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
325
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
326
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
328
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
330
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
331
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
333
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
334
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
336
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
337
output directory, if one was supplied.
339
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
340
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
341
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
342
parameters. (Robert Collins)
344
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
346
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
347
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
349
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
350
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
351
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
353
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
354
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
356
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
359
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
361
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
365
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
366
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
367
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
369
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
370
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
371
related questions. (Robert Collins)
373
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
374
is given. (Martin Pool)
376
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
377
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
378
file. (Robert Collins)
380
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
385
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
386
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
387
representation. (Martin Pool).
389
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
390
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
391
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
393
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
396
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
397
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
400
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
401
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
402
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
403
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
404
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
406
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
407
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
408
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
409
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
410
python path. (Robert Collins)
412
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
413
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
414
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
415
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
417
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
418
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
420
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
421
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
424
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
425
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
426
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
428
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
429
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
430
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
432
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
433
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
435
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
436
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
437
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
440
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
441
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
442
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
443
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
446
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
449
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
450
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
453
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
454
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
455
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
457
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
458
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
459
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
461
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
462
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
463
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
465
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
466
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
468
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
469
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
470
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
471
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
472
caller. (Robert Collins)
474
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
475
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
478
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
479
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
481
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
483
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
484
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
488
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
489
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
491
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
492
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
499
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
500
allow directories to be listed.
502
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
503
upgrading branch format.
507
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
514
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
515
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
516
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
517
high-latency connections.
521
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
524
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
525
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
527
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
528
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
529
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
530
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
532
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
533
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
535
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
536
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
538
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
539
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
540
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
542
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
543
for files with only a change to their executable status.
544
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
547
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
548
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
550
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
551
different partial views of history.
553
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
554
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
559
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
560
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
561
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
563
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
564
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
567
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
568
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
570
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
573
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
574
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
576
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
577
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
578
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
579
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
581
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
583
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
584
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
587
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
588
Contributed by Robert Collins.
590
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
591
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
592
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
597
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
598
for your viewing pleasure.
600
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
601
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
603
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
604
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
605
handling of such circumstances.
610
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
611
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
613
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
614
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
621
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
623
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
626
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
628
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
630
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
631
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
635
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
636
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
638
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
639
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
640
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
641
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
644
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
645
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
649
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
651
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
652
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
659
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
660
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
661
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
662
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
665
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
668
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
669
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
670
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
671
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
672
for the operating system is still tried.
674
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
675
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
676
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
681
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
685
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
687
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
690
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
696
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
698
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
