5
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6
convention. Paths now take the form:
7
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
14
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
15
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
16
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
18
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
19
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
20
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
21
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
23
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
24
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
27
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
29
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
31
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
32
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
33
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
34
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
37
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
39
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
40
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
41
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
44
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
46
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
48
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
51
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
52
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
54
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
55
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
58
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
59
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
62
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
64
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
66
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
67
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
69
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
70
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
71
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
72
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. (Olaf Conradi)
74
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
76
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
77
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
80
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
81
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
83
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
84
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
86
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
88
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
89
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
90
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
91
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
92
specification by Martin Pool.
93
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, John Rydberg, Martin Pool).
95
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
98
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
99
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
103
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
104
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
106
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
108
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
110
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
115
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
116
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
117
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
118
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
120
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
121
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
124
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
127
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
129
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
130
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
131
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
133
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
134
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
136
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
137
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
138
paths. (Robert Collins)
140
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
141
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
142
needs. (Robert Collins)
144
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
145
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
146
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
148
* Progress bars are now nested - see
149
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
151
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
154
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
157
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
159
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
161
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
162
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
163
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
168
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
169
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
171
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
172
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
173
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
174
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
176
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
177
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
178
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
179
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
180
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
182
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
183
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
184
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
186
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
188
bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
192
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
193
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
195
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
196
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
197
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
200
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
201
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
203
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
204
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
205
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
206
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
209
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
210
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
211
used. (Robert Collins)
213
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
214
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
217
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
218
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
219
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
221
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
224
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
225
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
229
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
230
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
232
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
234
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
236
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
237
tree. (Robert Collins)
239
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
240
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
241
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
244
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
247
* Tweaks to short log printing
249
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
252
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
253
occurs. (Martin Pool)
255
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
256
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
258
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
259
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
261
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
262
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
263
settings. (Magnus Therning)
265
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
266
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
268
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
269
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
272
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
273
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
275
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
276
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
278
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
279
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
281
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
284
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
285
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
287
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
288
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
290
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
291
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
292
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
296
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
298
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
300
* Error when run with -OO
302
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
305
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
307
* Change status to 3 for all errors
309
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
310
ignored by diff and status
312
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
313
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
315
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
317
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
319
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
320
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
322
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
323
email address. (Marien Zwart)
325
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
328
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
329
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
331
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
333
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
334
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
336
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
339
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
342
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
346
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
347
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
349
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
351
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
353
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
355
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
356
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
357
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
359
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
361
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
364
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
366
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
367
If adding a new test script please add that to
368
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
370
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
371
imported. (Martin Pool)
373
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
374
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
375
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
376
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
377
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
380
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
381
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
382
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
384
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
385
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
386
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
388
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
389
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
390
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
391
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
392
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
395
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
396
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
401
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
402
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
404
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
405
function. (Robert Collins)
407
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
408
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
409
if needed). (Robert Collins)
411
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
412
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
414
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
415
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
416
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
417
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
418
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
419
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
420
version. (Robert Collins)
422
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
423
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
425
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
426
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
427
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
428
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
429
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
430
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
432
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
435
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
443
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
445
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
447
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
450
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
451
query method. (Robert Collins)
453
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
456
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
459
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
463
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
464
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
465
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
466
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
468
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
469
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
470
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
471
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
473
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
474
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
480
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
483
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
487
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
488
a separator, not ':'.
491
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
492
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
493
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
495
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
496
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
499
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
500
has been added that suppresses all output.
502
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
505
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
508
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
509
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
511
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
512
a revision. (Robert Collins)
514
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
515
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
516
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
517
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
519
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
521
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
522
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
524
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
525
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
527
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
528
output directory, if one was supplied.
530
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
531
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
532
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
533
parameters. (Robert Collins)
535
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
537
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
538
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
540
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
541
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
542
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
544
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
545
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
547
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
550
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
552
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
556
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
557
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
558
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
560
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
561
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
562
related questions. (Robert Collins)
564
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
565
is given. (Martin Pool)
567
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
568
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
569
file. (Robert Collins)
571
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
576
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
577
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
578
representation. (Martin Pool).
580
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
581
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
582
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
584
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
587
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
588
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
591
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
592
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
593
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
594
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
595
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
597
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
598
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
599
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
600
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
601
python path. (Robert Collins)
603
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
604
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
605
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
606
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
608
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
609
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
611
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
612
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
615
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
616
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
617
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
619
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
620
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
621
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
623
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
624
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
626
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
627
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
628
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
631
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
632
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
633
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
634
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
637
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
640
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
641
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
644
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
645
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
646
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
648
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
649
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
650
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
652
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
653
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
654
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
656
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
657
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
659
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
660
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
661
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
662
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
663
caller. (Robert Collins)
665
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
666
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
669
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
670
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
672
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
674
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
675
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
679
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
680
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
682
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
683
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
690
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
691
allow directories to be listed.
693
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
694
upgrading branch format.
698
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
705
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
706
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
707
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
708
high-latency connections.
712
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
715
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
716
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
718
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
719
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
720
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
721
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
723
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
724
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
726
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
727
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
729
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
730
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
731
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
733
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
734
for files with only a change to their executable status.
735
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
738
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
739
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
741
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
742
different partial views of history.
744
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
745
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
750
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
751
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
752
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
754
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
755
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
758
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
759
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
761
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
764
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
765
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
767
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
768
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
769
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
770
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
772
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
774
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
775
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
778
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
779
Contributed by Robert Collins.
781
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
782
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
783
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
788
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
789
for your viewing pleasure.
791
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
792
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
794
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
795
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
796
handling of such circumstances.
801
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
802
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
804
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
805
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
812
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
814
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
817
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
819
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
821
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
822
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
826
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
827
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
829
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
830
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
831
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
832
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
835
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
836
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
840
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
842
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
843
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
850
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
851
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
852
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
853
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
856
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
859
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
860
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
861
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
862
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
863
for the operating system is still tried.
865
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
866
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
867
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
872
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
876
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
878
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
881
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
887
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
889
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
