6
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
17
* The --pattern option has been removed, now test specifiers on the
18
command line can be simple strings, or regexps, or both.
20
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
21
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
29
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
30
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
31
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
32
high-latency connections.
36
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
39
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
40
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
42
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
43
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
44
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
45
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
47
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
48
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
50
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
51
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
53
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
54
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
55
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
57
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
58
for files with only a change to their executable status.
59
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
62
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
63
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
65
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
66
different partial views of history.
68
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
69
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
74
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
75
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
76
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
78
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
79
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
82
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
83
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
85
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
88
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
89
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
91
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
92
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
93
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
94
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
96
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
98
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
99
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
102
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
103
Contributed by Robert Collins.
105
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
106
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
107
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
112
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
113
for your viewing pleasure.
115
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
116
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
118
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
119
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
120
handling of such circumstances.
125
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
126
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
128
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
129
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
136
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
138
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
141
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
143
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
145
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
146
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
150
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
151
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
153
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
154
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
155
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
156
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
159
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
160
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
164
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
166
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
167
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
174
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
175
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
176
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
177
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
180
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
183
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
184
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
185
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
186
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
187
for the operating system is still tried.
189
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
190
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
191
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

196
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
200
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
202
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
205
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
211
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
213
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
