5
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6
revno:N:branch. For example,
7
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
12
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
13
specific one '.bzrignore'.
14
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
15
a more conservative list than the old default.
16
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
17
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
18
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
19
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
21
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
22
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
23
the path of a file that has been versioned.
24
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
25
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
26
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
27
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
28
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
31
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
32
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
33
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
36
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
39
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
41
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
44
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
45
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
46
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
47
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
48
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
51
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
52
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
53
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
54
grained analysis of performance.
55
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
57
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
58
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
60
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
61
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
62
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
63
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
64
file. (Robert Collins).
66
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
67
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
68
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
70
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
71
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
74
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
75
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
77
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
78
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
79
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
80
the same way you would apply another branch.
81
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
83
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
84
to more locations than just branch locations.
87
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
88
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
90
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
93
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
96
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
97
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
98
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
100
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
101
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
102
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
104
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
105
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
107
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
108
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
109
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
110
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
111
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
113
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
114
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
116
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
117
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
118
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
119
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
120
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
121
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
122
branch is as much as 4x faster.
123
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
125
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
126
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
127
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
131
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
132
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
135
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
136
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
138
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
139
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
141
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
142
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
144
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
146
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
149
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
150
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
152
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
153
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
156
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
157
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
159
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
160
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
162
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
163
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
164
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
165
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
167
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
168
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
170
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
172
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
173
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
175
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
177
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
179
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
180
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
182
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
183
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
185
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
186
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
187
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
189
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
190
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
191
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
193
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
194
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
196
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
197
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
199
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
200
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
202
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
203
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
205
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
206
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
208
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
209
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
210
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
212
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
216
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
217
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
218
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
220
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
221
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
223
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
224
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
225
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
227
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
228
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
230
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
231
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
234
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
235
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
236
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
238
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
239
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
240
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
242
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
243
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
244
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
246
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
247
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
248
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
250
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
251
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
252
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
254
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
255
instead. (Robert Collins)
257
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
263
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
269
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
270
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
272
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
273
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
275
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
276
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
277
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
281
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
283
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
284
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
286
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
290
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
291
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
292
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
293
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
297
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
298
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
299
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
303
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
304
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
305
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
309
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
310
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
314
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
316
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
317
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
318
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
319
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
320
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
321
will keep the same format.
323
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
324
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
325
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
326
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
327
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
329
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
330
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
331
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
332
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
333
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
334
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
335
indicating the current revision of the branch.
337
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
338
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
339
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
340
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
341
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
343
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
344
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
345
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
351
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
352
convention. Paths now take the form:
353
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
355
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
357
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
358
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
360
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
361
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
362
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
364
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
365
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
366
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
367
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
369
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
370
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
373
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
375
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
377
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
378
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
379
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
380
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
383
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
385
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
386
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
387
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
390
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
392
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
394
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
397
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
398
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
400
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
401
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
404
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
405
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
408
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
410
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
412
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
413
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
415
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
416
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
417
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
418
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
419
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
420
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
422
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
424
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
425
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
428
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
429
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
431
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
432
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
434
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
436
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
437
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
438
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
439
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
440
specification by Martin Pool.
441
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
443
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
446
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
447
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
449
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
450
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
451
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
453
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
455
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
456
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
461
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
462
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
464
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
466
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
468
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
471
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
472
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
473
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
474
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
478
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
479
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
480
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
481
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
483
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
484
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
487
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
490
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
492
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
493
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
494
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
496
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
497
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
499
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
500
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
501
paths. (Robert Collins)
503
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
504
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
505
needs. (Robert Collins)
507
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
508
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
509
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
511
* Progress bars are now nested - see
512
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
514
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
517
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
520
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
522
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
524
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
525
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
526
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
529
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
530
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
532
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
533
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
534
check. (Robert Collins)
536
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
537
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
541
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
542
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
544
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
545
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
546
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
547
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
549
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
550
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
551
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
552
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
553
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
555
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
556
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
557
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
559
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
561
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
562
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
568
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
569
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
571
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
572
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
573
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
576
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
577
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
579
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
580
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
581
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
582
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
585
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
586
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
587
used. (Robert Collins)
589
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
590
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
593
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
594
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
595
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
597
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
600
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
601
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
605
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
606
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
608
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
610
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
612
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
613
tree. (Robert Collins)
615
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
616
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
617
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
620
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
623
* Tweaks to short log printing
625
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
628
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
629
occurs. (Martin Pool)
631
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
632
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
634
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
635
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
637
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
638
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
639
settings. (Magnus Therning)
641
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
642
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
644
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
645
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
648
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
649
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
651
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
652
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
654
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
655
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
657
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
660
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
661
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
663
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
664
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
666
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
667
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
668
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
672
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
674
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
676
* Error when run with -OO
678
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
681
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
683
* Change status to 3 for all errors
685
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
686
ignored by diff and status
688
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
689
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
691
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
693
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
695
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
696
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
698
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
699
email address. (Marien Zwart)
701
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
704
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
705
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
707
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
709
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
710
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
712
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
715
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
718
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
722
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
723
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
725
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
727
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
729
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
731
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
732
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
733
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
735
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
737
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
740
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
742
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
743
If adding a new test script please add that to
744
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
746
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
747
imported. (Martin Pool)
749
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
750
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
751
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
752
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
753
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
756
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
757
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
758
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
760
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
761
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
762
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
764
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
765
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
766
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
767
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
768
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
771
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
772
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
777
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
778
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
780
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
781
function. (Robert Collins)
783
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
784
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
785
if needed). (Robert Collins)
787
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
788
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
790
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
791
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
792
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
793
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
794
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
795
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
796
version. (Robert Collins)
798
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
799
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
801
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
802
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
803
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
804
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
805
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
806
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
808
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
811
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
819
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
821
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
823
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
826
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
827
query method. (Robert Collins)
829
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
832
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
835
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
839
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
840
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
841
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
842
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
844
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
845
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
846
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
847
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
849
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
850
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
856
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
859
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
863
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
864
a separator, not ':'.
5
867
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6
868
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
added
removed
