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
* 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. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
42
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
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)
55
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
56
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
59
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
60
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
63
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
65
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
67
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
72
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
73
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
75
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
77
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
81
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
82
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
83
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
84
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
86
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
87
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
90
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
93
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
95
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
96
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
97
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
99
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
100
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
102
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
103
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
104
paths. (Robert Collins)
106
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
107
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
108
needs. (Robert Collins)
110
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
111
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
112
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
114
* Progress bars are now nested - see
115
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
119
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
120
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
122
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
123
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
124
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
125
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
127
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
128
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
129
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
130
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
131
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
134
bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
138
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
139
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
141
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
142
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
143
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
146
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
147
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
149
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
150
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
151
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
152
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
155
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
156
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
157
used. (Robert Collins)
159
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
160
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
163
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
164
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
165
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
167
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
170
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
171
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
175
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
176
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
178
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
180
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
182
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
183
tree. (Robert Collins)
185
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
186
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
187
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
190
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
193
* Tweaks to short log printing
195
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
198
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
199
occurs. (Martin Pool)
201
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
202
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
204
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
205
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
207
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
208
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
209
settings. (Magnus Therning)
211
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
212
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
214
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
215
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
218
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
219
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
221
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
222
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
224
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
225
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
227
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
230
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
231
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
233
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
234
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
236
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
237
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
238
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
242
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
244
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
246
* Error when run with -OO
248
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
251
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
253
* Change status to 3 for all errors
255
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
256
ignored by diff and status
258
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
259
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
261
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
263
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
265
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
266
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
268
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
269
email address. (Marien Zwart)
271
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
274
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
275
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
277
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
279
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
280
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
282
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
285
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
288
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
292
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
293
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
295
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
297
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
299
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
301
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
302
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
303
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
305
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
307
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
310
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
312
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
313
If adding a new test script please add that to
314
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
316
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
317
imported. (Martin Pool)
319
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
320
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
321
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
322
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
323
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
326
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
327
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
328
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
330
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
331
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
332
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
334
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
335
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
336
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
337
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
338
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
341
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
342
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
347
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
348
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
350
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
351
function. (Robert Collins)
353
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
354
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
355
if needed). (Robert Collins)
357
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
358
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
360
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
361
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
362
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
363
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
364
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
365
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
366
version. (Robert Collins)
368
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
369
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
371
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
372
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
373
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
374
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
375
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
376
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
378
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
381
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
389
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
391
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
393
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
396
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
397
query method. (Robert Collins)
399
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
402
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
405
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
409
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
410
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
411
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
412
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
414
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
415
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
416
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
417
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
419
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
420
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
426
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
429
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
433
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
434
a separator, not ':'.
437
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
438
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
439
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
441
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
442
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
445
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
446
has been added that suppresses all output.
448
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
451
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
454
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
455
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
457
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
458
a revision. (Robert Collins)
460
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
461
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
462
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
463
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
465
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
467
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
468
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
470
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
471
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
473
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
474
output directory, if one was supplied.
476
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
477
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
478
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
479
parameters. (Robert Collins)
481
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
483
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
484
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
486
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
487
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
488
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
490
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
491
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
493
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
496
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
498
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
502
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
503
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
504
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
506
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
507
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
508
related questions. (Robert Collins)
510
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
511
is given. (Martin Pool)
513
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
514
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
515
file. (Robert Collins)
517
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
522
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
523
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
524
representation. (Martin Pool).
526
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
527
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
528
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
530
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
533
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
534
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
537
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
538
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
539
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
540
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
541
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
543
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
544
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
545
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
546
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
547
python path. (Robert Collins)
549
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
550
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
551
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
552
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
554
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
555
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
557
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
558
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
561
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
562
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
563
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
565
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
566
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
567
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
569
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
570
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
572
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
573
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
574
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
577
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
578
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
579
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
580
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
583
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
586
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
587
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
590
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
591
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
592
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
594
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
595
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
596
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
598
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
599
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
600
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
602
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
603
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
605
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
606
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
607
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
608
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
609
caller. (Robert Collins)
611
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
612
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
615
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
616
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
618
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
620
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
621
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
625
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
626
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
628
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
629
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
636
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
637
allow directories to be listed.
639
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
640
upgrading branch format.
644
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
651
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
652
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
653
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
654
high-latency connections.
658
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
661
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
662
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
664
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
665
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
666
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
667
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
669
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
670
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
672
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
673
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
675
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
676
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
677
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
679
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
680
for files with only a change to their executable status.
681
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
684
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
685
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
687
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
688
different partial views of history.
690
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
691
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
696
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
697
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
698
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
700
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
701
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
704
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
705
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
707
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
710
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
711
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
713
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
714
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
715
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
716
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
718
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
720
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
721
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
724
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
725
Contributed by Robert Collins.
727
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
728
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
729
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
734
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
735
for your viewing pleasure.
737
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
738
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
740
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
741
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
742
handling of such circumstances.
747
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
748
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
750
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
751
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
758
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
760
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
763
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
765
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
767
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
768
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
772
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
773
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
775
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
776
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
777
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
778
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
781
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
782
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
786
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
788
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
789
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
796
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
797
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
798
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
799
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
802
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
805
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
806
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
807
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
808
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
809
for the operating system is still tried.
811
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
812
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
813
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
818
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
822
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
824
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
827
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
833
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
835
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
842
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
843
help with intelligent shell completion.
845
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
850
* Much better merge support.
852
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
853
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
859
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
860
mention revisions that are not present.
862
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
864
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
866
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
867
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
872
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
874
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
875
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
881
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
882
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
891
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
892
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
894
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
896
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
897
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
899
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
902
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
904
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
907
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
908
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
910
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
911
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
912
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
917
* Faster working tree operations.
922
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
923
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
924
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
925
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
927
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
928
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
929
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
930
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
931
standard plugins directory.
933
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
934
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
935
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
936
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
938
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
939
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
941
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
944
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
945
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
946
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
948
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
949
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
951
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
952
line options must come before the command name because they
953
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
954
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
957
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
959
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
960
is available with ``--short``.
965
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
972
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
973
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
975
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
976
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
977
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
978
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
980
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
981
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
982
with the ``--forward`` option.
984
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
985
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5
991
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
992
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
994
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10
996
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
997
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
999
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1001
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
1002
either read or write mode.
1004
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
1006
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
1009
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
1011
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
1012
suggested by LarstiQ.
1014
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1015
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1017
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1020
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1021
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1023
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1024
haven't changed since the previous time.
1026
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1027
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1029
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1031
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1033
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1034
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1036
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1037
options through to an external GNU diff.
1039
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1042
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1048
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1049
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1051
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
15
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python.
16
Various structural improvements to the tests.
1057
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1058
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1061
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1062
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1064
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1065
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1067
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1068
under a different version.
1070
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
20
1075
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
22
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on
23
mango-sorbet by Scott James Remnant.
1077
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1078
Scott James Remnant.
25
1080
* Better help messages for many commands.
1082
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1083
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1085
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1086
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1088
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1090
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1092
* New AtomicFile class.
1094
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1099
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1100
2.4 is now only recommended.
