bzr development version
6
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7
convention. Paths now take the form:
8
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
13
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
15
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
16
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
17
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
19
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
20
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
21
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
22
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
24
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
25
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
28
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
30
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
32
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
33
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
34
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
35
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
38
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
40
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
41
behaviour. They use the existing serverless-mode and store no data
42
locally. As such they are not suitable for use except in high bandwidth
43
low latency environments like LAN's or local disk. (Robert Collins)
45
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
47
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
49
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
52
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
53
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
57
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
58
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
59
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
60
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
62
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
64
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
65
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
66
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
68
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
69
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
71
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
72
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
73
paths. (Robert Collins)
75
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
76
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
77
needs. (Robert Collins)
79
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
80
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
81
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
85
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
86
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
88
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
89
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
90
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
91
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
93
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
94
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
95
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
96
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
97
contract testing). (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
126
27
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
127
28
(James Henstridge)
129
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
130
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
131
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
133
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
136
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
137
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
30
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the IETF draft spec.
31
Paths now take the form:
32
sftp://user:pass@host:port/relative/path
34
sftp://user:pass@host:port/%2Fabsolute/path
36
sftp://user:pass@host:port//absolute/path
282
172
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
283
173
imported. (Martin Pool)
285
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
286
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
287
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
288
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
289
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
292
175
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
293
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
294
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
296
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
297
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
298
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
300
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
301
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
302
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
303
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
304
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
307
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
308
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
372
239
(Michael Ellerman)
375
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
376
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
377
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
378
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
380
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
381
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
382
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
383
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
385
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
386
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
