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).
101
* New option 'diff --diff-prefix' to control how files are named in diff
102
output. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli)
104
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
106
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
107
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
112
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
113
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
115
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
117
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
119
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
124
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
125
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
126
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
127
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
129
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
130
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
133
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
136
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
138
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
139
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
140
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
142
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
143
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
145
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
146
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
147
paths. (Robert Collins)
149
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
150
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
151
needs. (Robert Collins)
153
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
154
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
155
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
157
* Progress bars are now nested - see
158
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
160
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
163
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
166
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
168
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
170
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
171
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
172
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
175
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
176
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
177
check. (Robert Collins)
181
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
182
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
184
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
185
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
186
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
187
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
189
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
190
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
191
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
192
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
193
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
195
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
196
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
197
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
199
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
201
bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
205
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
206
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
208
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
209
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
210
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
213
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
214
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
216
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
217
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
218
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
219
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
222
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
223
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
224
used. (Robert Collins)
226
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
227
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
230
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
231
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
232
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
234
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
237
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
238
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
242
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
243
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
245
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
247
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
249
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
250
tree. (Robert Collins)
252
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
253
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
254
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
257
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
260
* Tweaks to short log printing
262
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
265
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
266
occurs. (Martin Pool)
268
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
269
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
271
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
272
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
274
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
275
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
276
settings. (Magnus Therning)
278
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
279
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
281
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
282
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
285
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
286
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
288
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
289
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
291
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
292
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
294
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
297
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
298
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
300
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
301
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
303
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
304
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
305
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
309
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
311
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
313
* Error when run with -OO
315
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
318
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
320
* Change status to 3 for all errors
322
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
323
ignored by diff and status
325
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
326
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
328
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
330
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
332
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
333
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
335
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
336
email address. (Marien Zwart)
338
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
341
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
342
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
344
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
346
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
347
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
349
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
352
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
355
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
359
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
360
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
362
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
364
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
366
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
368
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
369
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
370
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
372
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
374
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
377
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
379
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
380
If adding a new test script please add that to
381
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
383
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
384
imported. (Martin Pool)
386
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
387
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
388
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
389
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
390
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
393
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
394
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
395
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
397
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
398
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
399
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
401
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
402
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
403
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
404
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
405
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
408
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
409
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
414
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
415
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
417
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
418
function. (Robert Collins)
420
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
421
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
422
if needed). (Robert Collins)
424
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
425
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
427
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
428
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
429
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
430
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
431
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
432
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
433
version. (Robert Collins)
435
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
436
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
438
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
439
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
440
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
441
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
442
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
443
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
445
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
448
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
456
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
458
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
460
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
463
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
464
query method. (Robert Collins)
466
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
469
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
472
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
476
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
477
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
478
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
479
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
481
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
482
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
483
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
484
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
486
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
487
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
493
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
496
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
500
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
501
a separator, not ':'.
504
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
505
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
506
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
508
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
509
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
512
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
513
has been added that suppresses all output.
515
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
518
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
521
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
522
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
524
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
525
a revision. (Robert Collins)
527
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
528
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
529
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
530
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
532
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
534
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
535
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
537
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
538
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
540
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
541
output directory, if one was supplied.
543
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
544
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
545
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
546
parameters. (Robert Collins)
548
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
550
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
551
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
553
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
554
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
555
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
557
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
558
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
560
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
563
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
565
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
569
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
570
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
571
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
573
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
574
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
575
related questions. (Robert Collins)
577
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
578
is given. (Martin Pool)
580
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
581
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
582
file. (Robert Collins)
584
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
589
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
590
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
591
representation. (Martin Pool).
593
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
594
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
595
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
597
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
600
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
601
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
604
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
605
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
606
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
607
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
608
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
610
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
611
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
612
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
613
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
614
python path. (Robert Collins)
616
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
617
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
618
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
619
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
621
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
622
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
624
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
625
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
628
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
629
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
630
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
632
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
633
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
634
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
636
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
637
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
639
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
640
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
641
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
644
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
645
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
646
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
647
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
650
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
653
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
654
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
657
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
658
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
659
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
661
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
662
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
663
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
665
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
666
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
667
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
669
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
670
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
672
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
673
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
674
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
675
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
676
caller. (Robert Collins)
678
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
679
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
682
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
683
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
685
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
687
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
688
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
692
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
693
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
695
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
696
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
703
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
704
allow directories to be listed.
706
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
707
upgrading branch format.
711
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
718
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
719
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
720
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
721
high-latency connections.
725
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
728
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
729
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
731
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
732
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
733
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
734
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
736
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
737
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
739
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
740
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
742
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
743
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
744
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
746
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
747
for files with only a change to their executable status.
748
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
751
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
752
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
754
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
755
different partial views of history.
757
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
758
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
763
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
764
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
765
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
767
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
768
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
771
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
772
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
774
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
777
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
778
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
780
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
781
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
782
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
783
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
785
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
787
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
788
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
791
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
792
Contributed by Robert Collins.
794
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
795
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
796
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
801
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
802
for your viewing pleasure.
804
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
805
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
807
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
808
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
809
handling of such circumstances.
814
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
815
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
817
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
818
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
825
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
827
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
830
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
832
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
834
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
835
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
839
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
840
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
842
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
843
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
844
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
845
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
848
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
849
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
853
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
855
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
856
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
863
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
864
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
865
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
866
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
869
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
872
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
873
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
874
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
875
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
876
for the operating system is still tried.
878
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
879
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
880
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
885
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
889
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
891
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
894
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
900
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
902
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
909
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
910
help with intelligent shell completion.
912
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
917
* Much better merge support.
919
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
920
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
926
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
927
mention revisions that are not present.
929
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
931
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
933
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
934
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
939
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
941
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
942
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
948
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
949
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
958
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
959
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
961
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
963
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
964
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
966
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
969
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
971
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
974
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
975
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
977
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
978
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
979
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
984
* Faster working tree operations.
989
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
990
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
991
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
992
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
994
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
995
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
996
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
997
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
998
standard plugins directory.
1000
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
1001
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
1002
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
1003
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
1005
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
1006
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
1008
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
1011
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
1012
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
1013
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
1015
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
1016
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
1018
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
1019
line options must come before the command name because they
1020
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
1021
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
1024
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
1026
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
1027
is available with ``--short``.
1032
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1035
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
1039
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1040
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1042
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1043
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1044
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1045
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1047
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1048
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1049
with the ``--forward`` option.
1051
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1052
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
1058
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
1059
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
1061
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
1063
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
1064
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
1066
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1068
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
1069
either read or write mode.
1071
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
1073
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
1076
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
1078
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
1079
suggested by LarstiQ.
1081
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1082
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1084
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1087
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1088
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1090
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1091
haven't changed since the previous time.
1093
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1094
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1096
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1098
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1100
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1101
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1103
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1104
options through to an external GNU diff.
1106
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1109
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1115
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1116
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1118
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1124
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1125
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1128
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1129
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1131
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1132
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1134
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1135
under a different version.
1137
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1142
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1144
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1145
Scott James Remnant.
1147
* Better help messages for many commands.
1149
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1150
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1152
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1153
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1155
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1157
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1159
* New AtomicFile class.
1161
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1166
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1167
2.4 is now only recommended.
1170
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1174
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1175
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1177
* More default ignore patterns.
1179
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1180
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1182
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1184
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1187
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1192
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1193
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1194
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1195
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1196
there are DNS problems.
1198
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1203
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1205
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1207
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1208
trailing newlines properly.
1213
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1216
* More tests in test.sh.
1218
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1219
directory and delete it when done.
1221
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1226
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1229
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1233
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1237
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1240
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1242
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1245
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1248
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1250
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1254
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1255
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1260
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1261
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1266
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1270
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1277
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
1280
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
1284
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
1286
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
1287
rather than replacing it.
1289
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
1293
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
1296
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
1297
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
1299
* Performance improvements.
1301
* New global --profile option.
1303
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
1304
the root directory only.
1307
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
1311
* More information from info command.
1313
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
1315
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
1316
committing to stores.
1318
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
1322
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
1326
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
1327
installation easier.
1329
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
1333
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
1337
* First public release.
