5
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
10
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11
tree. (Robert Collins)
13
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
14
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
15
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
20
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
22
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
26
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
27
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
29
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
33
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
34
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
36
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
37
function. (Robert Collins)
39
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
40
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
41
if needed). (Robert Collins)
43
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
44
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
46
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
47
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
48
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
49
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
50
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
51
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
52
version. (Robert Collins)
54
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
55
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
57
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
58
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
59
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
60
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
61
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
62
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
68
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
72
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
76
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
77
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
78
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
80
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
81
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
84
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
85
has been added that suppresses all output.
87
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
90
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
93
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
94
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
96
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
97
a revision. (Robert Collins)
99
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
100
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
101
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
102
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
104
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
106
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
107
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
109
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
110
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
112
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
113
output directory, if one was supplied.
115
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
116
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
117
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
118
parameters. (Robert Collins)
120
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
122
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
123
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
125
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
126
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
127
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
129
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
130
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
132
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
135
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
137
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
141
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
142
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
143
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
145
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
146
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
147
related questions. (Robert Collins)
149
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
150
is given. (Martin Pool)
152
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
153
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
154
file. (Robert Collins)
156
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
161
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
162
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
163
representation. (Martin Pool).
165
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
166
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
167
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
169
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
172
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
173
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
176
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
177
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
178
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
179
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
180
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
182
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
183
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
184
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
185
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
186
python path. (Robert Collins)
188
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
189
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
190
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
191
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
193
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
194
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
196
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
197
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
200
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
201
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
202
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
204
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
205
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
206
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
208
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
209
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
211
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
212
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
213
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
216
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
217
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
218
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
219
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
222
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
225
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
226
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
229
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
230
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
231
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
233
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
234
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
235
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
237
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
238
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
239
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
241
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
242
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
244
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
245
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
246
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
247
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
248
caller. (Robert Collins)
250
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
251
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
254
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
255
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
257
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
259
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
260
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
264
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
265
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
267
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
268
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
275
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
276
allow directories to be listed.
278
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
279
upgrading branch format.
283
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
290
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
291
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
292
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
293
high-latency connections.
297
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
300
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
301
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
303
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
304
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
305
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
306
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
308
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
309
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
311
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
312
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
314
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
315
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
316
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
318
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
319
for files with only a change to their executable status.
320
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
323
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
324
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
326
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
327
different partial views of history.
329
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
330
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
335
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
336
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
337
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
339
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
340
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
343
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
344
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
346
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
349
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
350
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
352
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
353
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
354
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
355
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
357
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
359
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
360
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
363
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
364
Contributed by Robert Collins.
366
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
367
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
368
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
373
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
374
for your viewing pleasure.
376
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
377
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
379
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
380
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
381
handling of such circumstances.
386
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
387
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
389
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
390
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
397
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
399
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
402
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
404
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
406
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
407
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
411
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
412
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
414
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
415
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
416
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
417
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
420
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
421
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
425
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
427
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
428
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
