bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
6
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
15
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
16
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
17
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
19
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
20
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
23
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
24
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
26
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
29
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
30
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
35
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
36
for your viewing pleasure.
38
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
39
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
44
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
45
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
47
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
48
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
55
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
57
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
60
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
62
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
64
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
65
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
69
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
70
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
72
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
73
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
74
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
75
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
78
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
79
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
83
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
85
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
86
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
93
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
94
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
95
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
96
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
99
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
102
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
103
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
104
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
105
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
106
for the operating system is still tried.
108
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
109
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
110
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
115
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
119
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
121
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
124
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
130
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
132
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
139
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
140
help with intelligent shell completion.
142
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
147
* Much better merge support.
149
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
150
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
156
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
157
mention revisions that are not present.
159
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
161
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
163
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
164
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
169
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
171
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
172
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
178
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
179
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
188
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
189
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
191
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
193
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
194
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
196
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
199
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
201
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
204
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
205
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
207
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
208
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
209
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
214
* Faster working tree operations.
219
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
220
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
221
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
222
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
224
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
225
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
226
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
227
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
228
standard plugins directory.
230
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
231
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
232
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
233
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
235
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
236
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
238
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
241
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
242
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
243
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
245
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
246
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
248
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
249
line options must come before the command name because they
250
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
251
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
254
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
256
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
257
is available with ``--short``.
262
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
