bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
5
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10
* On Windows, detect terminal widht using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
18
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
19
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
20
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
21
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
22
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
23
will keep the same format.
25
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
26
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
27
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
28
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
29
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
31
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
32
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
33
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
34
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
35
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
36
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
37
indicating the current revision of the branch.
39
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
40
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
41
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
42
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
43
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
45
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
46
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
47
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
53
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
54
convention. Paths now take the form:
55
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
57
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
59
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
60
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
62
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
63
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
64
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
66
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
67
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
68
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
69
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
71
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
72
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
75
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
77
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
79
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
80
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
81
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
82
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
85
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
87
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
88
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
89
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
92
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
94
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
96
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
99
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
100
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
102
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
103
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
106
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
107
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
110
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
112
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
114
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
115
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
117
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
118
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
119
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
120
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
121
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
122
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
124
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
126
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
127
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
130
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
131
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
133
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
134
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
136
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
138
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
139
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
140
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
141
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
142
specification by Martin Pool.
143
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
145
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
148
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
149
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
151
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
152
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
153
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
155
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
157
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
159
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
160
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
165
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
166
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
168
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
170
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
172
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
175
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
176
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
177
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
178
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
182
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
183
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
184
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
185
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
187
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
188
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
191
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
194
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
196
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
197
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
198
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
200
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
201
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
203
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
204
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
205
paths. (Robert Collins)
207
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
208
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
209
needs. (Robert Collins)
211
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
212
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
213
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
215
* Progress bars are now nested - see
216
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
218
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
221
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
224
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
226
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
228
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
229
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
230
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
233
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
234
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
236
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
237
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
238
check. (Robert Collins)
240
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
241
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
245
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
246
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
248
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
249
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
250
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
251
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
253
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
254
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
255
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
256
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
257
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
259
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
260
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
261
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
263
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
265
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
266
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
272
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
273
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
275
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
276
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
277
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
280
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
281
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
283
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
284
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
285
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
286
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
289
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
290
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
291
used. (Robert Collins)
293
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
294
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
297
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
298
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
299
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
301
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
304
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
305
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
309
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
310
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
312
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
314
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
316
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
317
tree. (Robert Collins)
319
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
320
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
321
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
324
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
327
* Tweaks to short log printing
329
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
332
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
333
occurs. (Martin Pool)
335
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
336
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
338
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
339
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
341
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
342
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
343
settings. (Magnus Therning)
345
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
346
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
348
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
349
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
352
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
353
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
355
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
356
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
358
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
359
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
361
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
364
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
365
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
367
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
368
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
370
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
371
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
372
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
376
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
378
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
380
* Error when run with -OO
382
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
385
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
387
* Change status to 3 for all errors
389
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
390
ignored by diff and status
392
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
393
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
395
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
397
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
399
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
400
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
402
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
403
email address. (Marien Zwart)
405
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
408
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
409
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
411
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
413
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
414
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
416
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
419
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
422
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
426
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
427
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
429
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
431
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
433
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
435
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
436
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
437
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
439
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
441
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
444
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
446
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
447
If adding a new test script please add that to
448
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
450
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
451
imported. (Martin Pool)
453
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
454
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
455
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
456
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
457
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
460
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
461
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
462
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
464
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
465
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
466
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
468
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
469
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
470
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
471
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
472
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
475
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
476
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
481
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
482
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
484
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
485
function. (Robert Collins)
487
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
488
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
489
if needed). (Robert Collins)
491
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
492
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
494
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
495
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
496
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
497
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
498
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
499
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
500
version. (Robert Collins)
502
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
503
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
505
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
506
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
507
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
508
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
509
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
510
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
512
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
515
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
523
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
525
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
527
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
530
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
531
query method. (Robert Collins)
533
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
536
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
539
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
543
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
544
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
545
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
546
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
548
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
549
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
550
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
551
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
553
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
554
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
560
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
563
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
567
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
568
a separator, not ':'.
571
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
572
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
573
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
575
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
576
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
579
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
580
has been added that suppresses all output.
582
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
585
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
588
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
589
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
591
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
592
a revision. (Robert Collins)
594
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
595
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
596
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
597
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
599
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
601
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
602
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
604
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
605
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
607
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
608
output directory, if one was supplied.
610
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
611
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
612
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
613
parameters. (Robert Collins)
615
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
617
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
618
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
620
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
621
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
622
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
624
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
625
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
627
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
630
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
632
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
636
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
637
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
638
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
640
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
641
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and

related questions. (Robert Collins)
644
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
645
is given. (Martin Pool)
647
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
648
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
649
file. (Robert Collins)
651
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
656
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
657
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
658
representation. (Martin Pool).
660
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
661
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
662
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
664
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
667
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
668
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
671
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
672
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
673
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
674
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
675
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
677
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
678
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
679
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
680
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
681
python path. (Robert Collins)
683
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
684
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
685
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
686
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
688
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
689
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
691
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
692
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
695
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
696
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
697
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
699
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
700
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
701
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
703
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
704
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
706
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
707
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
708
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
711
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
712
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
713
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
714
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
717
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
720
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
721
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
724
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
725
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
726
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
728
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
729
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
730
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
732
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
733
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
734
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
736
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
737
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
739
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
740
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
741
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
742
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
743
caller. (Robert Collins)
745
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
746
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
749
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
750
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
752
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
754
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
755
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
759
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
760
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
762
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
763
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
770
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
771
allow directories to be listed.
773
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
774
upgrading branch format.
778
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
785
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
786
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
787
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
788
high-latency connections.
792
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
795
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
796
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
798
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
799
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
800
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
801
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
803
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
804
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
806
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
807
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
809
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
810
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
811
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
813
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
814
for files with only a change to their executable status.
815
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
818
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
819
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
821
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
822
different partial views of history.
824
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
825
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
830
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
831
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
832
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
834
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
835
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
838
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
839
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
841
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
844
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
845
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
847
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
848
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
849
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
850
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
852
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
854
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
855
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
858
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
859
Contributed by Robert Collins.
861
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
862
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
863
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
868
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
869
for your viewing pleasure.
871
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
872
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
874
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
875
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
876
handling of such circumstances.
881
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
882
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
884
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
885
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
892
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
894
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
897
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
899
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
901
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
902
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
906
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
907
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
909
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
910
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
911
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
912
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
915
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
916
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
920
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
922
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
923
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
930
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
931
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
932
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
933
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
936
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
939
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
940
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
941
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
942
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
943
for the operating system is still tried.
945
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
946
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
947
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
952
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
956
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
958
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
961
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
967
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
969
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
976
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
977
help with intelligent shell completion.
979
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
984
* Much better merge support.
986
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
987
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
993
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
994
mention revisions that are not present.
996
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
998
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1000
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1001
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1006
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1008
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1009
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1015
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1016
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
1021
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
1025
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
1026
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
1028
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
1030
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
1031
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
1033
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
1036
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
1038
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
1041
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
1042
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
1044
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
1045
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
1046
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
1051
* Faster working tree operations.
1056
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
1057
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
1058
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
1059
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
1061
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
1062
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
1063
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
1064
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
1065
standard plugins directory.
1067
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
1068
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
1069
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
1070
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
1072
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
1073
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
1075
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
1078
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
1079
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
1080
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
1082
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
1083
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
1085
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
1086
line options must come before the command name because they
1087
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
1088
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
1091
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
1093
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
1094
is available with ``--short``.
1099
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1102
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
1106
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1107
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1109
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1110
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1111
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1112
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1114
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1115
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1116
with the ``--forward`` option.
1118
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1119
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5
1125
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
1126
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
1128
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10
1130
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
1131
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
1133
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1135
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
1136
either read or write mode.
1138
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
1140
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
1143
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
1145
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
1146
suggested by LarstiQ.
1148
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1149
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1151
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1154
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1155
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1157
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1158
haven't changed since the previous time.
1160
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1161
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1163
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1165
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1167
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1168
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1170
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1171
options through to an external GNU diff.
1173
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1176
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1182
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1183
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1185
* 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.
1191
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1192
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1195
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1196
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1198
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1199
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1201
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1202
under a different version.
1204
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
20
1209
* 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.
1211
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1212
Scott James Remnant.
25
1214
* Better help messages for many commands.
1216
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1217
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1219
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1220
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1222
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1224
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1226
* New AtomicFile class.
1228
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1233
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1234
2.4 is now only recommended.
