* 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
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
13
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
14
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
15
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
17
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
18
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
20
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
21
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
23
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
24
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
25
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
27
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
28
for files with only a change to their executable status.
29
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
35
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
36
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
37
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
39
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
40
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
43
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
44
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
46
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
49
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
50
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
52
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
53
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
54
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
55
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
57
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
62
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
63
for your viewing pleasure.
65
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
66
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
68
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
69
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
70
handling of such circumstances.
75
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
76
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
78
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
79
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
86
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
88
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
91
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
93
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
95
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
96
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
100
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
101
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
103
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
104
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
105
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
106
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
109
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
110
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
114
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
116
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
117
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
124
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
125
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
126
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
127
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
130
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
133
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
134
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
135
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
136
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
137
for the operating system is still tried.
139
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
140
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
141
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
146
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
150
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
152
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
155
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
161
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
163
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
170
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
171
help with intelligent shell completion.
173
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
178
* Much better merge support.
180
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
181
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
187
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
188
mention revisions that are not present.
190
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
192
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
194
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
195
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
200
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
202
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
203
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
209
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
210
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
16
230
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
232
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
235
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
236
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
238
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
239
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
240
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
20
245
* Faster working tree operations.
250
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
251
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
252
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
253
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
255
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
256
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
257
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
258
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
259
standard plugins directory.
24
261
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
25
262
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
26
263
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
added
removed
