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`` now operates on readonly branches as well
20
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
22
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
23
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
24
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
27
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
28
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
29
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
32
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
33
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
34
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
35
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
40
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
41
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
43
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
44
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
46
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
48
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
49
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
51
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
52
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
54
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
55
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
57
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
60
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
61
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
62
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
64
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
65
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
67
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
68
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
69
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
70
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
72
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
73
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
74
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
78
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
79
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
82
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
83
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
84
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
85
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
87
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
90
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
91
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
92
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
94
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
95
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
97
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
98
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
99
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
101
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
102
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
103
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
104
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
105
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
106
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
107
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
108
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
111
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
112
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
114
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
115
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
117
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
118
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
119
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
120
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
121
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
122
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
123
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins)
125
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
126
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
127
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
128
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
129
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
130
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
131
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
132
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
135
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
136
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
137
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
139
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
140
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
142
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
143
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
145
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
146
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
150
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
151
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
153
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
154
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
157
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
158
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
159
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
164
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
165
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
167
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
168
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
169
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
170
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
171
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
173
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
174
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
175
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
177
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
178
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
180
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
181
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
182
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
186
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
188
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
189
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
190
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
192
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
194
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
196
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
197
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
198
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
199
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
201
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
202
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
203
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
204
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
205
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
207
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
208
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
210
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
211
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
213
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
214
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
216
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
217
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
220
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
221
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
225
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
226
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
227
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
228
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
231
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
232
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
233
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
239
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
240
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
241
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
242
specific one '.bzrignore'.
243
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
244
a more conservative list than the old default.
245
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
246
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
247
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
248
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
250
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
251
to more locations than just branch locations.
256
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
257
revno:N:branch. For example,
258
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
259
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
261
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
262
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
263
the path of a file that has been versioned.
264
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
265
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
266
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
267
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
268
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
271
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
272
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
273
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
276
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
277
(Alexander Belchenko)
279
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
281
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
284
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
285
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
286
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
287
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
288
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
291
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
292
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
293
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
294
grained analysis of performance.
295
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
297
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
298
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
300
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
301
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
302
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
303
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
304
file. (Robert Collins).
306
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
307
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
308
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
310
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
311
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
314
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
315
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
317
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
318
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
319
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
320
the same way you would apply another branch.
321
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
323
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
324
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
326
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
329
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
332
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
333
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
334
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
336
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
337
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
338
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
340
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
341
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
343
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
344
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
345
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
346
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
347
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
349
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
350
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
352
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
353
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
354
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
355
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
356
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
357
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
358
branch is as much as 4x faster.
359
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
361
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
362
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
363
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
367
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
368
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
371
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
372
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
374
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
375
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
377
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
378
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
380
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
382
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
385
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
386
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
388
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
389
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
392
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
393
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
395
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
396
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
398
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
399
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
400
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
401
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
403
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
404
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
406
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
408
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
409
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
411
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
413
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
415
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
416
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
418
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
419
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
421
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
422
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
423
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
425
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
426
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
427
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
429
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
430
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
432
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
433
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
435
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
436
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
438
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
439
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
441
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
442
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
444
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
445
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
446
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
448
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
450
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
451
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
455
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
456
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
457
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
459
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
460
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
462
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
463
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
464
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
466
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
467
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
469
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
470
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
473
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
474
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
475
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
477
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
478
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
479
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
481
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
482
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
483
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
485
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
486
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
487
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
489
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
490
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
491
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
493
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
494
instead. (Robert Collins)
496
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
502
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
508
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
509
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
511
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
512
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
514
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
515
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
516
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
520
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
522
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
523
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
525
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
529
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
530
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
531
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
532
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
536
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
537
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
538
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
542
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
543
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
544
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
548
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
549
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
553
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
555
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
556
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
557
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
558
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
559
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
560
will keep the same format.
562
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
563
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
564
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
565
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
566
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
568
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
569
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
570
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
571
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
572
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
573
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
574
indicating the current revision of the branch.
576
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
577
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
578
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
579
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
580
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
582
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
583
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
584
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
590
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
591
convention. Paths now take the form:
592
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
594
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
596
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
597
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
599
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
600
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
601
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
603
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
604
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
605
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
606
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
608
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
609
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
612
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
614
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
616
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
617
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
618
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
619
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
622
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
624
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
625
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
626
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
629
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
631
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
633
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
636
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
637
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
639
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
640
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
643
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
644
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
647
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
649
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
651
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
652
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
654
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
655
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
656
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
657
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
658
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
659
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
661
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
663
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
664
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
667
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
668
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
670
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
671
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
673
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
675
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
676
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
677
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
678
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
679
specification by Martin Pool.
680
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
682
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
685
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
686
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
688
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
689
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
690
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
692
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
694
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
695
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
700
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
701
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
703
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
705
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
707
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
710
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
711
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
712
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
713
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
717
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
718
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
719
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
720
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
722
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
723
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
726
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
729
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
731
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
732
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
733
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
735
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
736
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
738
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
739
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
740
paths. (Robert Collins)
742
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
743
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
744
needs. (Robert Collins)
746
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
747
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
748
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
750
* Progress bars are now nested - see
751
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
753
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
756
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
759
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
761
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
763
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
764
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
765
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
768
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
769
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
771
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
772
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
773
check. (Robert Collins)
775
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
776
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
780
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
781
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
783
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
784
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
785
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
786
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
788
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
789
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
790
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
791
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
792
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
794
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
795
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
796
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
798
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
800
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
801
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
807
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
808
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
810
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
811
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
812
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
815
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
816
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
818
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
819
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
820
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
821
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
824
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
825
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
826
used. (Robert Collins)
828
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
829
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
832
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
833
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
834
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
836
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
839
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
840
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
844
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
845
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
847
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
849
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
851
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
852
tree. (Robert Collins)
854
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
855
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
856
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
859
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
862
* Tweaks to short log printing
864
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
867
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
868
occurs. (Martin Pool)
870
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
871
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
873
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
874
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
876
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
877
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
878
settings. (Magnus Therning)
880
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
881
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
883
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
884
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
887
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
888
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
890
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
891
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
893
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
894
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
896
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
899
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
900
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
902
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
903
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
905
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
906
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
907
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
911
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
913
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
915
* Error when run with -OO
917
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
920
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
922
* Change status to 3 for all errors
924
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
925
ignored by diff and status
927
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
928
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
930
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
932
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
934
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
935
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
937
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
938
email address. (Marien Zwart)
940
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
943
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
944
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
946
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
948
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
949
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
951
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
954
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
957
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
961
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
962
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
964
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
966
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
968
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
970
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
971
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
972
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
974
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
976
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
979
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
981
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
982
If adding a new test script please add that to
983
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
985
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
986
imported. (Martin Pool)
988
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
989
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
990
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
991
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
992
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
995
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
996
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
997
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
999
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1000
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1001
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1003
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1004
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1005
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1006
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1007
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1010
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1011
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1016
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1017
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1019
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1020
function. (Robert Collins)
1022
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1023
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1024
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1026
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1027
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1029
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1030
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1031
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1032
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1033
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1034
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1035
version. (Robert Collins)
1037
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1038
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1040
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1041
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1042
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1043
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1044
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1045
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1047
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1050
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1058
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1060
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1062
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1065
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1066
query method. (Robert Collins)
1068
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1071
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1074
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1078
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1079
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1080
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1081
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1083
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1084
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1085
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1086
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1088
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1089
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1095
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1098
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1102
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1103
a separator, not ':'.
1106
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1107
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1108
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1110
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1111
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1114
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1115
has been added that suppresses all output.
1117
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1120
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1121
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1123
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1124
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1126
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1127
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1129
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1130
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1131
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1132
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1134
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1136
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1137
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1139
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1140
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1142
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1143
output directory, if one was supplied.
1145
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1146
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1147
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1148
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1150
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1152
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1153
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1155
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1156
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1157
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1159
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1160
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1162
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1165
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1167
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1171
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1172
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1173
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1175
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1176
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1177
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1179
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1180
is given. (Martin Pool)
1182
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1183
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1184
file. (Robert Collins)
1186
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1191
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1192
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1193
representation. (Martin Pool).
1195
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1196
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1197
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1199
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1202
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1203
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1206
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1207
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1208
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1209
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
1210
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
1212
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1213
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1214
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1215
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1216
python path. (Robert Collins)
1218
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1219
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1220
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1221
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1223
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1224
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1226
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1227
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1230
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1231
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1232
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1234
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1235
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1236
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1238
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1239
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1241
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1242
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1243
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1246
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1247
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1248
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1249
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1252
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1255
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1256
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1259
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1260
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1261
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1263
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1264
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1265
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1267
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1268
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1269
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1271
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1272
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1274
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1275
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1276
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1277
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1278
caller. (Robert Collins)
1280
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1281
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1284
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1285
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1287
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1289
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1290
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1294
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1295
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1297
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1298
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1301
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1305
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1306
allow directories to be listed.
1308
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1309
upgrading branch format.
1313
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1320
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1321
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1322
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1323
high-latency connections.
1327
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1330
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1331
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1333
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1334
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1335
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1336
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1338
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1339
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1341
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1342
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1344
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1345
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1346
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1348
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1349
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1350
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1353
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1354
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1356
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1357
different partial views of history.
1359
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1360
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1364
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1365
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1366
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1368
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1369
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1372
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1373
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1375
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1378
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1379
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1381
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1382
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1383
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1384
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1386
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1388
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1389
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1392
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1393
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1395
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1396
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1397
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1402
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1403
for your viewing pleasure.
1405
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1406
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1408
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1409
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1410
handling of such circumstances.
1415
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1416
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1418
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1419
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1422
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1426
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1428
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1431
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1433
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1435
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1436
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1440
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1441
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1443
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1444
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1445
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1446
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1449
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1450
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1454
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1456
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1457
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1460
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1464
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1465
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1466
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1467
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1470
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1473
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1474
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1475
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1476
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1477
for the operating system is still tried.
1479
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1480
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1481
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5
1486
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1490
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1492
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1495
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1501
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1503
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
