* 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
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
34
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
38
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
39
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
40
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
42
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
43
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
44
related questions. (Robert Collins)
46
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one feels, unless '--one'
47
is given. (Martin Pool)
49
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
50
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
51
file. (Robert Collins)
55
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
56
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
57
representation. (Martin Pool).
59
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
60
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
61
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
63
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
66
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
67
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
70
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
71
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
72
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
73
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
74
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
76
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
77
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
78
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
79
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
80
python path. (Robert Collins)
82
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
83
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
84
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
85
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
87
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
88
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
90
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
91
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
94
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
95
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
96
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
98
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
99
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
100
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
102
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
103
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
104
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
107
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
108
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
109
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
110
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
113
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
116
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
117
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
120
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
121
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
122
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
124
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
125
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
126
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
128
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
129
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
130
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
134
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
135
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
141
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
142
allow directories to be listed.
144
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
145
upgrading branch format.
149
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
156
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
157
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
158
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
159
high-latency connections.
163
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
166
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
167
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
169
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
170
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
171
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
172
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
174
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
175
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
177
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
178
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
180
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
181
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
182
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
184
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
185
for files with only a change to their executable status.
186
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
189
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
190
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
192
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
193
different partial views of history.
195
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
196
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
201
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
202
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
203
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
205
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
206
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
209
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
210
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
212
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
215
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
216
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
218
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
219
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
220
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
221
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
223
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
225
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
226
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
229
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
230
Contributed by Robert Collins.
232
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
233
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
234
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
239
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
240
for your viewing pleasure.
242
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
243
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
245
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
246
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
247
handling of such circumstances.
252
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
253
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
255
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
256
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
263
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
265
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
268
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
270
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
272
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
273
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
277
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
278
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
280
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
281
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
282
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
283
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
286
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
287
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
291
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
293
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
294
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
301
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
302
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
303
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
304
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
307
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
310
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
311
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
312
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
313
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
314
for the operating system is still tried.
316
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
317
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
318
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
323
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
327
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
329
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
332
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
338
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
340
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
347
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
348
help with intelligent shell completion.
350
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
355
* Much better merge support.
357
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
358
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
364
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
365
mention revisions that are not present.
367
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
369
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
371
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
372
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
377
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
379
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
380
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
386
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
387
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
