5
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6
convention. Paths now take the form:
7
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
14
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
15
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
16
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
18
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
19
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
20
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
21
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
23
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
24
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
27
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
29
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
31
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
32
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
33
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
34
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
37
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
39
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
40
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
41
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
44
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
46
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
48
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
51
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
52
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
54
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
55
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
58
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
59
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
62
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
64
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
66
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
67
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
69
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
70
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
71
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
72
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
73
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
74
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
76
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
78
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
79
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
82
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
83
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
85
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
86
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
88
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
90
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
91
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
92
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
93
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
94
specification by Martin Pool.
95
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, John Rydberg, Martin Pool).
97
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
100
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
101
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
103
* New option 'diff --diff-prefix' to control how files are named in diff
104
output. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli)
108
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
109
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
111
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
113
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
115
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
120
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
121
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
122
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
123
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
125
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
126
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
129
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
132
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
134
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
135
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
136
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
138
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
139
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
141
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
142
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
143
paths. (Robert Collins)
145
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
146
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
147
needs. (Robert Collins)
149
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
150
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
151
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
153
* Progress bars are now nested - see
154
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
156
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
159
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
162
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
164
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
166
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
167
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
168
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
171
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
172
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
176
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
177
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
179
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
180
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
181
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
182
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
184
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
185
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
186
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
187
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
188
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
190
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
191
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
192
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
194
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
196
bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
200
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
201
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
203
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
204
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
205
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
208
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
209
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
211
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
212
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
213
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
214
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
217
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
218
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
219
used. (Robert Collins)
221
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
222
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
225
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
226
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
227
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
229
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
232
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
233
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
237
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
238
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
240
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
242
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
244
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
245
tree. (Robert Collins)
247
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
248
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
249
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
252
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
255
* Tweaks to short log printing
257
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
260
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
261
occurs. (Martin Pool)
263
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
264
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
266
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
267
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
269
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
270
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
271
settings. (Magnus Therning)
273
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
274
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
276
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
277
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
280
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
281
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
283
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
284
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
286
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
287
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
289
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
292
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
293
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
295
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
296
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
298
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
299
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
300
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
304
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
306
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
308
* Error when run with -OO
310
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
313
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
315
* Change status to 3 for all errors
317
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
318
ignored by diff and status
320
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
321
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
323
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
325
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
327
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
328
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
330
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
331
email address. (Marien Zwart)
333
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
336
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
337
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
339
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
341
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
342
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
344
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
347
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
350
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
354
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
355
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
357
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
359
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
361
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
363
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
364
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
365
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
367
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
369
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
372
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
374
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
375
If adding a new test script please add that to
376
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
378
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
379
imported. (Martin Pool)
381
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
382
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
383
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
384
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
385
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
388
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
389
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
390
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
392
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
393
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
394
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
396
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
397
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
398
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
399
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
400
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
403
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
404
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
409
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
410
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
412
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
413
function. (Robert Collins)
415
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
416
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
417
if needed). (Robert Collins)
419
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
420
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
422
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
423
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
424
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
425
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
426
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
427
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
428
version. (Robert Collins)
430
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
431
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
433
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
434
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
435
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
436
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
437
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
438
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
440
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
443
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
451
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
453
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
455
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
458
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
459
query method. (Robert Collins)
461
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
464
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
467
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
471
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
472
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
473
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
474
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
476
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
477
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
478
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
479
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
481
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
482
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
488
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
491
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
495
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
496
a separator, not ':'.
499
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
500
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
501
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
503
5
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
504
6
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
