5
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
8
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
9
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
11
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
13
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
14
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
15
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
17
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
19
* ``bzr checkout --lightweight`` now operates on readonly branches as well
20
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542 for lightweight checkouts
21
but not for heavyweight ones (the default). (Robert Collins)
23
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
24
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
25
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
30
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
31
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
33
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
34
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
36
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
38
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
39
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
41
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
42
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
44
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
45
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
47
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
50
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
51
a few times (up to 1 minute) before timing out. (John Arbash Meinel,
56
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
57
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
60
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
61
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
62
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
63
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
65
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
68
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
69
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
70
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
72
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
73
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
75
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
76
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
77
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
79
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
80
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
81
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
82
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
83
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
84
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
85
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
86
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
89
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
90
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
92
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
93
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
95
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
96
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
97
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
98
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
99
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
100
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
101
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins)
103
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
104
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
105
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
106
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
107
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
108
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
109
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
110
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
113
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
114
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
115
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
120
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
121
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
123
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
124
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
125
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
126
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
127
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
129
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
130
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
131
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
133
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
134
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
136
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
137
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
138
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
142
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
144
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
145
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
146
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
148
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
150
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
152
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
153
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
154
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
155
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
157
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
158
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
159
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
160
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
161
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
163
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
164
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
166
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
167
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
169
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
170
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
172
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
173
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
176
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
177
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
181
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
182
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
183
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
184
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
187
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
188
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
189
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
195
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
196
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
197
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
198
specific one '.bzrignore'.
199
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
200
a more conservative list than the old default.
201
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
202
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
203
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
204
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
206
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
207
to more locations than just branch locations.
212
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
213
revno:N:branch. For example,
214
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
215
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
217
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
218
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
219
the path of a file that has been versioned.
220
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
221
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
222
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
223
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
224
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
227
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
228
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
229
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
232
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
233
(Alexander Belchenko)
235
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
237
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
240
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
241
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
242
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
243
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
244
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
247
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
248
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
249
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
250
grained analysis of performance.
251
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
253
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
254
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
256
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
257
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
258
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
259
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
260
file. (Robert Collins).
262
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
263
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
264
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
266
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
267
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
270
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
271
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
273
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
274
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
275
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
276
the same way you would apply another branch.
277
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
279
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
280
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
282
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
285
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
288
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
289
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
290
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
292
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
293
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
294
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
296
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
297
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
299
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
300
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
301
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
302
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
303
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
305
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
306
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
308
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
309
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
310
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
311
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
312
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
313
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
314
branch is as much as 4x faster.
315
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
317
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
318
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
319
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
323
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
324
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
327
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
328
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
330
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
331
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
333
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
334
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
336
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
338
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
341
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
342
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
344
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
345
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
348
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
349
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
351
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
352
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
354
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
355
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
356
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
357
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
359
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
360
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
362
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
364
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
365
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
367
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
369
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
371
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
372
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
374
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
375
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
377
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
378
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
379
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
381
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
382
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
383
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
385
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
386
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
388
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
389
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
391
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
392
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
394
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
395
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
397
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
398
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
400
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
401
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
402
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
404
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
406
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
407
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
411
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
412
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
413
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
415
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
416
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
418
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
419
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
420
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
422
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
423
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
425
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
426
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
429
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
430
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
431
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
433
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
434
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
435
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
437
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
438
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
439
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
441
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
442
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
443
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
445
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
446
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
447
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
449
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
450
instead. (Robert Collins)
452
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
458
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
464
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
465
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
467
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
468
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
470
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
471
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
472
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
476
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
478
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
479
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
481
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
485
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
486
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
487
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
488
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
492
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
493
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
494
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
498
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
499
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
500
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
504
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
505
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
509
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
511
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
512
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
513
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
514
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
515
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
516
will keep the same format.
518
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
519
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
520
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
521
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
522
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
524
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
525
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
526
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
527
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
528
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
529
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
530
indicating the current revision of the branch.
532
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
533
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
534
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
535
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
536
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
538
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
539
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
540
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
546
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
547
convention. Paths now take the form:
548

552
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
553
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
555
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
556
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
557
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
559
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
560
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
561
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
562
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
564
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
565
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
568
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
570
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
572
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
573
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
574
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
575
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
578
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
580
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
581
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
582
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
585
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
587
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
589
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
592
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
593
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
595
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
596
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
599
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
600
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
603
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
605
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
607
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
608
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
610
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
611
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
612
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
613
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
614
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
615
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
617
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
619
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
620
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
623
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
624
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
626
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
627
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
629
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
631
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
632
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
633
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
634
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
635
specification by Martin Pool.
636
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
638
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
641
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
642
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
644
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
645
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
646
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
648
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
650
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
651
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
656
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
657
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
659
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
661
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
663
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
666
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
667
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
668
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
669
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
673
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
674
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
675
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
676
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
678
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
679
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
682
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
685
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
687
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
688
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
689
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
691
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
692
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
694
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
695
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
696
paths. (Robert Collins)
698
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
699
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
700
needs. (Robert Collins)
702
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
703
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
704
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
706
* Progress bars are now nested - see
707
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
709
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
712
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
715
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
717
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
719
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
720
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
721
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
724
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
725
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
727
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
728
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
729
check. (Robert Collins)
731
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
732
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
736
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
737
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
739
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
740
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
741
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
742
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
744
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
745
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
746
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
747
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
748
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
750
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
751
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
752
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
754
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
756
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
757
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
763
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
764
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
766
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
767
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
768
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
771
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
772
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
774
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
775
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
776
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
777
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
780
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
781
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
782
used. (Robert Collins)
784
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
785
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
788
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
789
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
790
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
792
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
795
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
796
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
800
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
801
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
803
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
805
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
807
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
808
tree. (Robert Collins)
810
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
811
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
812
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
815
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
818
* Tweaks to short log printing
820
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
823
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
824
occurs. (Martin Pool)
826
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
827
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
829
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
830
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
832
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
833
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
834
settings. (Magnus Therning)
836
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
837
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
839
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
840
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
843
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
844
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
846
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
847
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
849
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
850
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
852
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
855
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
856
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
858
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
859
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
861
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
862
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
863
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
867
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
869
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
871
* Error when run with -OO
873
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
876
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
878
* Change status to 3 for all errors
880
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
881
ignored by diff and status
883
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
884
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
886
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
888
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
890
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
891
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
893
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
894
email address. (Marien Zwart)
896
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
899
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
900
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
902
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
904
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
905
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
907
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
910
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
913
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
917
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
918
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
920
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
922
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
924
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
926
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
927
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
928
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
930
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
932
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
935
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
937
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
938
If adding a new test script please add that to
939
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
941
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
942
imported. (Martin Pool)
944
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
945
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
946
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
947
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
948
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
951
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
952
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
953
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
955
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
956
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
957
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
959
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
960
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
961
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
962
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
963
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
966
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
967
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
972
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
973
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
975
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
976
function. (Robert Collins)
978
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
979
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
980
if needed). (Robert Collins)
982
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
983
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
985
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
986
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
987
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
988
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
989
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
990
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
991
version. (Robert Collins)
993
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
994
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
996
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
997
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
998
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
999
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1000
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1001
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1003
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1006
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1014
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1016
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1018
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1021
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1022
query method. (Robert Collins)
1024
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1027
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1030
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1034
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1035
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1036
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1037
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1039
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1040
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1041
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1042
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1044
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1045
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1051
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1054
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1058
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1059
a separator, not ':'.
1062
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1063
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1064
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1066
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1067
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1070
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1071
has been added that suppresses all output.
1073
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1076
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1077
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1079
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1080
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1082
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1083
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1085
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1086
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1087
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1088
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1090
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1092
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1093
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1095
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1096
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1098
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1099
output directory, if one was supplied.
1101
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1102
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1103
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1104
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1106
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1108
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1109
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1111
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1112
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1113
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1115
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1116
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1118
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1121
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1123
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1127
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1128
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1129
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1131
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1132
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1133
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1135
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1136
is given. (Martin Pool)
1138
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1139
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1140
file. (Robert Collins)
1142
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1147
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1148
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1149
representation. (Martin Pool).
1151
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1152
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1153
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1155
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1158
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1159
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1162
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1163
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1164
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1165
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
1166
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
1168
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1169
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1170
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1171
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1172
python path. (Robert Collins)
1174
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1175
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1176
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1177
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1179
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1180
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1182
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1183
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1186
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1187
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1188
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1190
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1191
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1192
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1194
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1195
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1197
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1198
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1199
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1202
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1203
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1204
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1205
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1208
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1211
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1212
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1215
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1216
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1217
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1219
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1220
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1221
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1223
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1224
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1225
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1227
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1228
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1230
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1231
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1232
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1233
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1234
caller. (Robert Collins)
1236
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1237
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1240
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1241
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1243
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1245
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1246
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1250
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1251
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1253
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1254
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1257
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1261
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1262
allow directories to be listed.
1264
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1265
upgrading branch format.
1269
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1276
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1277
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1278
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1279
high-latency connections.
1283
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1286
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1287
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1289
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1290
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1291
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1292
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1294
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1295
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1297
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1298
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1300
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1301
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1302
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1304
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1305
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1306
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1309
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1310
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1312
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1313
different partial views of history.
1315
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1316
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1320
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1321
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1322
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1324
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1325
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1328
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1329
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1331
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1334
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1335
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1337
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1338
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1339
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1340
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1342
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1344
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1345
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1348
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1349
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1351
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1352
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1353
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1358
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1359
for your viewing pleasure.
1361
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1362
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1364
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1365
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1366
handling of such circumstances.
1371
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1372
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1374
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1375
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1378
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1382
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1384
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1387
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1389
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1391
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1392
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1396
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1397
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1399
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1400
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1401
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1402
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1405
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1406
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1410
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1412
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1413
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1416
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1420
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1421
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1422
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1423
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1426
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1429
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1430
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1431
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1432
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1433
for the operating system is still tried.
1435
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1436
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1437
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1442
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1446
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1448
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1451
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1457
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1459
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1462
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02

1466
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6
1467
help with intelligent shell completion.
1469
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1474
* Much better merge support.
1476
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1477
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
11
1483
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
12
1484
mention revisions that are not present.
1486
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1488
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1490
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1491
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1496
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1498
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1499
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1505
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1506
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
