bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
1
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
* pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
30
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
31
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
32
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
33
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
36
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
38
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
39
behaviour. They use the existing serverless-mode and store no data
40
locally. As such they are not suitable for use except in high bandwidth
41
low latency environments like LAN's or local disk. (Robert Collins)
43
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
45
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
47
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
50
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
51
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
53
* pull now accepts a --revision argument (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)
73
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
74
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
76
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
77
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
78
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
79
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
81
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
82
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
83
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
84
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
85
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
92
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
93
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
95
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
96
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
97
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
100
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
101
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
103
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
104
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
105
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
106
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
109
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
110
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
111
used. (Robert Collins)
113
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
114
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
117
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
118
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
119
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
121
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
124
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
125
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
129
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
130
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
132
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
134
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
136
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
137
tree. (Robert Collins)
139
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
140
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
141
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
144
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
147
* Tweaks to short log printing
149
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
152
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
153
occurs. (Martin Pool)
155
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
156
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
158
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
159
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
161
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
162
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
163
settings. (Magnus Therning)
165
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
166
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
168
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
169
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
172
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
173
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
175
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
176
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
178
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
179
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
181
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
184
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
185
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
187
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
188
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
190
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
191
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
192
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
196
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
198
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
200
* Error when run with -OO
202
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
205
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
207
* Change status to 3 for all errors
209
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
210
ignored by diff and status
212
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
213
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
215
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
217
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
219
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
220
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
222
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
223
email address. (Marien Zwart)
225
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
228
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
229
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
231
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
233
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
234
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
236
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
239
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
242
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
246
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
247
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
249
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
251
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
253
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
255
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
256
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
257
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
259
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
261
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
264
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
266
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
267
If adding a new test script please add that to
268
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
270
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
271
imported. (Martin Pool)
273
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
274
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
275
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
276
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
277
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
280
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
281
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
282
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
284
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
285
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
286
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
288
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
289
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
290
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
291
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
292
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
295
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
296
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
301
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
302
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
304
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
305
function. (Robert Collins)
307
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
308
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
309
if needed). (Robert Collins)
311
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
312
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
314
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
315
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
316
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
317
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
318
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
319
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
320
version. (Robert Collins)
322
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
323
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
325
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
326
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
327
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
328
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
329
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
330
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
332
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
335
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
343
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
345
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
347
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
350
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
351
query method. (Robert Collins)
353
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
356
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
359
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
363
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
364
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
365
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
366
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
368
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
369
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
370
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
371
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
373
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
374
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
380
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
383
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
387
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
388
a separator, not ':'.
391
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
392
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
393
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
395
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
396
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
399
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
400
has been added that suppresses all output.
402
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
405
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
408
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
409
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
411
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
412
a revision. (Robert Collins)
414
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
415
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
416
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
417
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
419
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
421
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
422
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
424
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
425
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
427
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
428
output directory, if one was supplied.
430
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
431
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
432
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
433
parameters. (Robert Collins)
435
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
437
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
438
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
440
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
441
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
442
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
444
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
445
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
447
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
450
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
452
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
456
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
457
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
458
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
460
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
461
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
462
related questions. (Robert Collins)
464
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
465
is given. (Martin Pool)
467
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
468
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
469
file. (Robert Collins)
471
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
476
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
477
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
478
representation. (Martin Pool).
480
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
481
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
482
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
484
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
487
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
488
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
491
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
492
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
493
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
494
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
495
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
497
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
498
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
499
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
500
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
501
python path. (Robert Collins)
503
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
504
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
505
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
506
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
508
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
509
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
511
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
512
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
515
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
516
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
517
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
519
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
520
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
521
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
523
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
524
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
526
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
527
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
528
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
531
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
532
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
533
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
534
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
537
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
540
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
541
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
544
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
545
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
546
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
548
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
549
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
550
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
552
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
553
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
554
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
556
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
557
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
559
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
560
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
561
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
562
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
563
caller. (Robert Collins)
565
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
566
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
569
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
570
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
572
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
574
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
575
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
579
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
580
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
582
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
583
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
590
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
591
allow directories to be listed.
593
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
594
upgrading branch format.
598
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
605
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
606
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
607
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
608
high-latency connections.
612
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
615
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
616
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
618
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
619
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
620
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
621
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
623
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
624
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
626
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
627
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
629
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
630
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
631
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
633
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
634
for files with only a change to their executable status.
635
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
638
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
639
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
641
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
642
different partial views of history.
644
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
645
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
650
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
651
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
652
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
654
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
655
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
658
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
659
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
661
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
664
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
665
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
667
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
668
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
669
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
670
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
672
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
674
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
675
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
678
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
679
Contributed by Robert Collins.
681
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
682
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
683
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
688
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
689
for your viewing pleasure.
691
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
692
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
694
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
695
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
696
handling of such circumstances.
701
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
702
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
704
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
705
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
712
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
714
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
717
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
719
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
721
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
722
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
726
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
727
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
729
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
730
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
731
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
732
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
735
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
736
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
740
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
742
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
743
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
750
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
751
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
752
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
753
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
756
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
759
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
760
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
761
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
762
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
763
for the operating system is still tried.
765
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
766
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
767
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
772
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
776
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
778
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
781
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
787
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
789
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
796
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
797
help with intelligent shell completion.
799
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
804
* Much better merge support.
806
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
807
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
813
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
814
mention revisions that are not present.
816
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
818
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
820
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
821
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
826
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
828
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
829
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
835
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
836
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
845
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
846
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
848
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
850
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
851
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
853
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
856
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
858
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
861
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
862
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
864
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
865
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
866
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
871
* Faster working tree operations.
876
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
877
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
878
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
879
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
881
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
882
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
883
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
884
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
885
standard plugins directory.
887
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
888
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
889
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
890
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
892
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
893
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
895
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
898
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
899
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
900
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
902
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
903
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
905
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
906
line options must come before the command name because they
907
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
908
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
911
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
913
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
914
is available with ``--short``.
919
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
