* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
13
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
14
has been added that suppresses all output.
16
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
19
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
22
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
23
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
25
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
26
a revision. (Robert Collins)
28
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
29
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
30
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
31
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
33
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
35
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
36
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
38
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
39
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
43
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
44
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
45
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
47
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
48
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
49
related questions. (Robert Collins)
51
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one feels, unless '--one'
52
is given. (Martin Pool)
54
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
55
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
56
file. (Robert Collins)
60
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
61
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
62
representation. (Martin Pool).
64
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
65
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
66
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
68
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
71
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
72
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
75
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
76
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
77
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
78
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
79
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
81
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
82
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
83
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
84
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
85
python path. (Robert Collins)
87
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
88
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
89
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
90
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
92
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
93
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
95
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
96
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
99
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
100
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
101
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
103
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
104
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
105
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
107
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
108
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
110
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
111
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
112
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
115
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
116
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
117
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
118
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
121
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
124
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
125
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
128
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
129
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
130
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
132
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
133
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
134
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
136
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
137
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
138
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
142
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
143
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
149
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
150
allow directories to be listed.
152
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
153
upgrading branch format.
157
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
164
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
165
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
166
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
167
high-latency connections.
