5
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8
specific one '.bzrignore'.
9
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
10
a more conservative list than the old default.
11
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
12
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
13
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
14
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
16
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
17
to more locations than just branch locations.
22
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
23
revno:N:branch. For example,
24
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
25
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
27
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
28
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
29
the path of a file that has been versioned.
30
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
31
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
32
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
33
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
34
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
37
5
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
38
6
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
39
7
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
73
38
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
74
39
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
76
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
77
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
80
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
81
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
83
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
84
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
85
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
86
the same way you would apply another branch.
87
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
89
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
90
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
92
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
95
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
98
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
99
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
100
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
102
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
103
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
104
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
106
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
107
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
109
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
110
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
111
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
112
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
113
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
115
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
116
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
118
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
119
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
120
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
121
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
122
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
123
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
124
branch is as much as 4x faster.
125
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
127
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
128
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
129
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
41
* ``log --line`` shows the revision number. (#5162, Alexander Belchenko)
134
46
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
137
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
138
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
140
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
141
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
143
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
144
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
146
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
148
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
151
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
152
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
154
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
155
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
158
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
159
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
161
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
162
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
164
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
165
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
166
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
167
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
169
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
170
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
172
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
174
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
175
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
177
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
179
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
181
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
182
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
184
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
185
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
187
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
188
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
189
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
191
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
192
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
193
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
195
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
196
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
198
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
199
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
201
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
202
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
204
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
205
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
207
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
208
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
210
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
211
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
212
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
214
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
216
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
217
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
221
51
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
222
52
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
223
53
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
225
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
226
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
228
55
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
229
56
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
230
57
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
232
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
233
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
235
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
236
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
239
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
240
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
241
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
243
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
244
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
245
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
247
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
248
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
249
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
251
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
252
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
253
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
255
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
256
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
257
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
259
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
260
instead. (Robert Collins)
262
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
