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.
12
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
13
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
15
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
16
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
17
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
22
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
23
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
24
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
26
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
27
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
30
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
31
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
33
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
36
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
37
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
39
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
40
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
41
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
42
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
47
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
48
for your viewing pleasure.
50
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
51
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
56
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
57
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
59
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
60
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
67
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
69
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
72
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
74
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
76
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
77
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
81
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
82
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
84
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
85
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
86
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
87
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
90
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
91
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
95
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
97
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
98
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
105
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
106
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
107
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
108
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
111
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
114
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
115
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
116
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
117
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
118
for the operating system is still tried.
120
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
121
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
122
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
127
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
131
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
133
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
136
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
142
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
144
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
151
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
152
help with intelligent shell completion.
154
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
159
* Much better merge support.
161
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
162
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
168
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
169
mention revisions that are not present.
171
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
173
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
175
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
176
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
181
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
183
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
184
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
190
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
191
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
200
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
201
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
203
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
205
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
206
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
208
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
211
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
213
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
216
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
217
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
219
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
220
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
221
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
226
* Faster working tree operations.
231
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
232
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
233
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
234
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
236
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
237
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
238
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
239
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
240
standard plugins directory.
242
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
243
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
244
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
245
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
247
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
248
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
250
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
253
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
254
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
255
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
257
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
258
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
260
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
261
line options must come before the command name because they
262
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
263
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
266
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
268
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
269
is available with ``--short``.
274
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
281
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
282
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
284
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
285
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
286
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
287
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
289
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
290
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
291
with the ``--forward`` option.
293
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
294
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5
300
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
301
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
303
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
305
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
306
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
308
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
310
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
311
either read or write mode.
313
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
315
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
318
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
320
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
321
suggested by LarstiQ.
323
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
324
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
326
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
329
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
330
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
332
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
333
haven't changed since the previous time.
335
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
336
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
338
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
340
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
342
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
343
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
345
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
346
options through to an external GNU diff.
348
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
351
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
357
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
358
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
360
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
366
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
367
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
370
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
371
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
373
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
374
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
376
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
377
under a different version.
379
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
384
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
386
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
389
* Better help messages for many commands.
391
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
392
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
394
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
395
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
397
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
399
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
401
* New AtomicFile class.
403
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
408
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
409
2.4 is now only recommended.
