bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
5
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
9
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
10
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
12
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
15
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
16
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
17
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
20
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
23
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
25
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
28
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
29
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
30
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
32
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
33
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
34
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
35
grained analysis of performance.
36
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
38
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
39
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
41
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
42
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
43
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
44
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
45
file. (Robert Collins).
47
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
48
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
49
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
51
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
52
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
55
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
56
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
58
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
59
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
60
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
61
the same way you would apply another branch.
62
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
64
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
65
to more locations than just branch locations.
70
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
71
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
74
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
75
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
77
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
78
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
82
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
83
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
84
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
86
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
87
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
88
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
90
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
91
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
93
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
94
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
97
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
98
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
99
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
101
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
102
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
103
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
105
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
106
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
107
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
109
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
110
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
111
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
113
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
114
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
115
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
121
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
127
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
128
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
130
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
131
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
133
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
134
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
135
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
139
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
141
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
142
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
144
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
148
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
149
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
150
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
151
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
155
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
156
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
157
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
161
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
162
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
163
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
167
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
168
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
172
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
174
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
175
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
176
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
177
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
178
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
179
will keep the same format.
181
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
182
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
183
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
184
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
185
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
187
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
188
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
189
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
190
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
191
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
192
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
193
indicating the current revision of the branch.
195
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
196
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
197
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
198
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
199
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
201
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
202
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
203
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
209
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
210
convention. Paths now take the form:
211
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
213
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
215
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
216
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
218
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
219
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
220
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
222
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
223
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
224
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
225
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
227
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
228
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
231
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
233
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
235
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
236
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
237
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
238
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
241
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
243
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
244
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
245
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
248
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
250
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
252
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
255
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
256
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
258
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
259
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
262
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
263
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
266
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
268
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
270
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
271
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
273
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
274
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
275
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
276
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
277
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
278
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
280
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
282
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
283
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
286
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
287
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
289
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
290
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
292
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
294
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
295
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
296
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
297
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
298
specification by Martin Pool.
299
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
301
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
304
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
305
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
307
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
308
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
309
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
311
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
313
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
314
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
319
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
320
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
322
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
324
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
326
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
329
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
330
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
331
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
332
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
336
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
337
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
338
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
339
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
341
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
342
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
345
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
348
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
350
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
351
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
352
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
354
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
355
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
357
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
358
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
359
paths. (Robert Collins)
361
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
362
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
363
needs. (Robert Collins)
365
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
366
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
367
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
369
* Progress bars are now nested - see
370
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
372
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
375
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
378
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
380
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
382
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
383
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
384
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
387
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
388
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
390
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
391
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
392
check. (Robert Collins)
394
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
395
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
399
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
400
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
402
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
403
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
404
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
405
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
407
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
408
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
409
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
410
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
411
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
413
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
414
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
415
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
417
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
419
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
420
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
426
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
427
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
429
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
430
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
431
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
434
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
435
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
437
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
438
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
439
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
440
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
443
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
444
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
445
used. (Robert Collins)
447
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
448
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
451
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
452
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
453
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
455
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
458
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
459
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
463
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
464
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
466
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
468
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
470
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
471
tree. (Robert Collins)
473
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
474
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
475
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
478
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
481
* Tweaks to short log printing
483
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
486
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
487
occurs. (Martin Pool)
489
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
490
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
492
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
493
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
495
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
496
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
497
settings. (Magnus Therning)
499
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
500
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
502
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
503
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
506
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
507
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
509
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
510
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
512
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
513
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
515
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
518
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
519
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
521
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
522
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
524
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
525
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
526
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
530
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
532
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
534
* Error when run with -OO
536
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
539
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
541
* Change status to 3 for all errors
543
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
544
ignored by diff and status
546
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
547
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
549
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
551
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
553
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
554
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
556
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
557
email address. (Marien Zwart)
559
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
562
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
563
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
565
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
567
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
568
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
570
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
573
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
576
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
580
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
581
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
583
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
585
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
587
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
589
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
590
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
591
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
593
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
595
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
598
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
600
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
601
If adding a new test script please add that to
602
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
604
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
605
imported. (Martin Pool)
607
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
608
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
609
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
610
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
611
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
614
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
615
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
616
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
618
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
619
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
620
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
622
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
623
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
624
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
625
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
626
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
629
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
630
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
635
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
636
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
638
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
639
function. (Robert Collins)
641
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
642
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
643
if needed). (Robert Collins)
645
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
646
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
648
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
649
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
650
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
651
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
652
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
653
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
654
version. (Robert Collins)
656
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
657
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
659
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
660
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
661
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
662
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
663
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
664
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
666
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
669
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
677
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
679
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
681
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
684
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
685
query method. (Robert Collins)
687
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
690
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
693
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
697
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
698
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
699
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
700
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
702
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
703
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
704
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
705
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
707
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
708
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
714
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
717
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
721
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
722
a separator, not ':'.
725
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
726
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
727
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
729
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
730
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
733
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
734
has been added that suppresses all output.
736
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
739
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
742
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
743
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
745
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
746
a revision. (Robert Collins)
748
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
749
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
750
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
751
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
753
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
755
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
756
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
758
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
759
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
761
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
762
output directory, if one was supplied.
764
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
765
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
766
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
767
parameters. (Robert Collins)
769
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
771
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
772
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
774
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
775
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
776
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
778
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
779
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
781
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
784
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
786
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
790
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
791
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
792
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
794
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
795
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
796
related questions. (Robert Collins)
798
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
799
is given. (Martin Pool)
801
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
802
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
803
file. (Robert Collins)
805
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
810
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
811
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
812
representation. (Martin Pool).
814
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
815
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
816
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
818
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
821
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
822
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
825
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
826
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
827
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
828
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
829
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
831
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
832
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
833
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
834
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
835
python path. (Robert Collins)
837
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
838
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
839
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
840
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
842
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
843
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
845
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
846
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
849
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
850
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
851
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
853
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
854
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
855
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
857
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
858
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
860
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
861
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
862
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
865
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
866
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
867
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
868
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
871
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
874
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
875
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
878
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
879
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
880
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
882
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
883
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
884
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
886
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
887
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
888
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
890
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
891
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
893
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
894
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
895
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
896
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
897
caller. (Robert Collins)
899
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
900
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
903
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
904
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
906
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
908
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
909
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
913
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
914
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
916
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
917
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
924
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
925
allow directories to be listed.
927
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
928
upgrading branch format.
932
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
939
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
940
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
941
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
942
high-latency connections.
946
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
949
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
950
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
952
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
953
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
954
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
955
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
957
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
958
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
960
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
961
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
963
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
964
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
965
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
967
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
968
for files with only a change to their executable status.
969
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
972
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
973
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
975
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
976
different partial views of history.
978
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
979
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
984
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
985
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
986
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
988
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
989
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
992
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
993
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
995
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
998
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
999
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1001
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1002
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1003
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1004
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1006
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1008
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1009
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1012
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1013
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1015
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1016
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1017
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1022
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1023
for your viewing pleasure.
1025
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1026
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1028
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1029
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1030
handling of such circumstances.
1035
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1036
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1038
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1039
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1042
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1046
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1048
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1051
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1053
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1055
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1056
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1060
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1061
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1063
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1064
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1065
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1066
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1069
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1070
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1074
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1076
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1077
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1080
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1084
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1085
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1086
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1087
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1090
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1093
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1094
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1095
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1096
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1097
for the operating system is still tried.
1099
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1100
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1101
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1106
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1110
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1112
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1115
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1121
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1123
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1126
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
1130
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
1131
help with intelligent shell completion.
1133
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1138
* Much better merge support.
1140
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1141
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
1147
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
1148
mention revisions that are not present.
1150
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1152
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1154
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1155
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1160
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1162
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1163
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1169
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1170
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
1175
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
1179
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
1180
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
1182
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
1184
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
1185
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
1187
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
1190
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
1192
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
1195
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
1196
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
1198
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
1199
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
1200
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
1205
* Faster working tree operations.
1210
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
1211
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
1212
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
1213
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
1215
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
1216
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
1217
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
1218
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
1219
standard plugins directory.
1221
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
1222
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
1223
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
1224
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
1226
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
1227
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
1229
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
1232
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
1233
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
1234
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
1236
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
1237
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
1239
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
1240
line options must come before the command name because they
1241
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
1242
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
1245
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
1247
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
1248
is available with ``--short``.
1253
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1256
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
1260
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1261
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1263
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1264
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1265
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1266
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1268
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1269
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1270
with the ``--forward`` option.
1272
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1273
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5
1279
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
1280
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
1282
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10
1284
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
1285
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
13
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1287
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
15
1289
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
16
1290
either read or write mode.
