bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
5
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
13
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
14
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
15
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
17
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
18
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
20
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
23
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
24
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
25
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
26
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
27
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
28
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
30
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
31
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
32
should enable you to do::
35
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
36
push_location:policy = appendpath
38
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
39
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
42
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
43
for each file. For example::
51
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
52
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
54
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
56
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
57
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
61
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
62
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
63
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
64
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
66
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
67
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
68
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
70
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
72
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
73
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
74
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
77
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
82
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
83
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
85
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
86
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
87
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
88
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
89
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
91
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
92
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
94
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
95
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
97
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
99
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
101
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
102
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
103
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
104
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
105
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
107
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
108
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
109
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
110
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
112
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
113
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
115
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
116
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
118
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
119
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
124
No changes from 0.13rc1
126
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
130
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
134
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
135
operations are substantially faster.
136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
138
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
139
tree from some other url. For example:
140
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
143
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
144
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
145
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
146
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
148
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
151
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
152
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
153
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
154
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
155
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
156
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
160
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
161
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
164
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
165
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
168
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
169
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
170
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
173
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
174
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
176
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
177
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
182
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
183
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
184
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
185
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
187
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
189
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
190
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
192
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
193
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
194
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
197
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
198
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
199
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
201
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
202
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
203
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
206
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
207
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
209
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
211
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
212
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
214
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
215
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
217
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
218
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
219
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
220
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
222
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
223
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
224
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
226
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
227
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
229
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
230
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
231
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
232
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
233
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
237
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
238
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
244
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
245
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
248
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
252
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
253
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
254
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
255
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
257
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
258
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
260
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
262
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
263
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
264
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
265
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
267
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
268
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
269
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
270
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
275
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
276
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
280
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
281
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
282
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
284
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
285
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
288
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
289
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
290
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
292
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
293
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
296
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
297
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
298
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
300
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
301
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
302
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
303
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
304
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
305
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
307
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
308
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
309
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
312
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
313
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
317
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
318
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
319
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
322
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
323
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
325
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
326
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
327
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
329
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
330
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
332
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
333
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
334
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
335
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
337
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
338
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
340
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
341
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
342
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
344
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
345
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
347
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
349
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
350
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
355
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
356
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
357
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
358
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
360
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
361
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
362
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
366
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
368
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
372
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
374
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
377
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
381
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
382
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
383
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
384
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
385
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
386
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
387
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
389
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
390
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
391
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
393
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
395
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
396
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
398
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
399
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
400
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
403
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
404
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
405
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
408
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
409
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
410
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
411
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
414
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
415
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
416
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
421
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
422
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
424
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
426
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
427
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
428
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
430
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
431
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
433
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
434
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
436
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
439
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
440
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
442
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
444
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
445
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
447
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
448
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
450
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
451
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
453
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
456
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
457
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
458
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
460
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
461
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
463
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
464
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
465
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
466
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
468
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
469
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
470
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
472
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
473
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
477
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
481
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
482
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
485
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
486
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
487
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
488
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
490
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
493
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
494
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
495
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
497
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
498
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
500
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
501
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
502
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
504
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
505
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
506
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
507
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
508
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
509
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
510
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
511
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
514
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
515
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
517
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
518
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
520
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
521
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
522
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
523
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
524
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
525
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
526
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
528
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
529
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
530
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
531
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
532
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
533
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
534
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
535
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
538
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
539
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
540
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
542
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
543
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
545
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
546
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
548
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
549
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
553
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
554
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
556
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
557
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
560
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
561
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
562
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
567
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
568
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
570
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
571
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
572
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
573
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
574
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
576
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
577
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
578
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
580
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
581
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
583
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
584
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
585
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
589
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
591
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
592
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
593
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
595
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
597
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
599
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
600
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
601
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
602
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
604
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
605
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
606
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
607
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
608
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
610
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
611
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
613
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
614
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
616
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
617
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
619
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
620
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
623
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
624
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
628
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
629
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
630
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
631
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
634
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
635
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
636
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
642
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
643
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
644
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
645
specific one '.bzrignore'.
646
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
647
a more conservative list than the old default.
648
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
649
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
650
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
651
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
653
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
654
to more locations than just branch locations.
659
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
660
revno:N:branch. For example,
661
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
662
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
664
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
665
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
666
the path of a file that has been versioned.
667
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
668
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
669
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
670
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
671
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
674
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
675
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
676
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
679
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
680
(Alexander Belchenko)
682
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
684
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
687
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
688
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
689
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
690
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
691
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
694
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
695
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
696
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
697
grained analysis of performance.
698
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
700
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
701
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
703
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
704
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
705
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
706
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
707
file. (Robert Collins).
709
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
710
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
711
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
713
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
714
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
717
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
718
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
720
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
721
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
722
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
723
the same way you would apply another branch.
724
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
726
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
727
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
729
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
732
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
735
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
736
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
737
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
739
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
740
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
741
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
743
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
744
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
746
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
747
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
748
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
749
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
750
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
752
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
753
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
755
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
756
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
757
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
758
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
759
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
760
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
761
branch is as much as 4x faster.
762
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
764
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
765
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
766
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
770
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
771
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
774
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
775
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
777
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
778
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
780
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
781
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
783
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
785
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
788
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
789
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
791
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
792
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
795
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
796
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
798
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
799
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
801
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
802
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
803
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
804
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
806
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
807
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
809
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
811
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
812
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
814
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
816
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
818
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
819
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
821
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
822
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
824
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
825
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
826
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
828
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
829
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
830
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
832
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
833
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
835
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
836
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
838
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
839
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
841
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
842
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
844
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
845
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
847
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
848
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
849
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
851
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
853
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
854
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
858
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
859
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
860
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
862
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
863
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
865
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
866
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
867
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
869
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
870
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
872
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
873
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
876
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
877
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
878
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
880
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
881
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
882
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
884
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
885
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
886
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
888
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
889
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
890
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
892
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
893
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
894
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
896
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
897
instead. (Robert Collins)
899
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
905
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
911
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
912
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
914
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
915
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
917
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
918
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
919
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
923
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
925
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
926
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
928
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
932
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
933
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
934
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
935
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
939
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
940
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
941
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
945
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
946
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
947
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
951
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
952
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
956
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
958
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
959
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
960
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
961
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
962
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
963
will keep the same format.
965
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
966
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
967
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
968
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
969
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
971
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
972
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
973
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
974
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
975
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
976
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
977
indicating the current revision of the branch.
979
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
980
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
981
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
982
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
983
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
985
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
986
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
987
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
993
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
994
convention. Paths now take the form:
995
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
997
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
999
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1000
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1002
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1003
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1004
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1006
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1007
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1008
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1009
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1011
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1012
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1015
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1017
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1019
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1020
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
1021
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1022
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1025
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1027
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1028
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1029
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1032
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1034
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1036
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1039
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1040
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1042
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1043
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1046
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1047
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1050
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1052
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1054
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1055
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1057
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1058
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1059
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1060
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1061
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1062
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1064
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1066
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1067
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1070
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1071
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1073
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1074
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1076
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1078
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1079
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1080
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1081
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1082
specification by Martin Pool.
1083
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1085
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1088
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1089
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1091
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1092
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1093
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1095
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1097
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1098
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1103
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1104
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1106
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1108
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1110
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1113
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1114
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1115
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1116
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1120
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1121
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1122
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1123
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1125
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1126
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1127
tried. (Martin Pool)
1129
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1132
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1134
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1135
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1136
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1138
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1139
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1141
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1142
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1143
paths. (Robert Collins)
1145
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1146
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1147
needs. (Robert Collins)
1149
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1150
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1151
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1153
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1154
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1156
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1159
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1162
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1164
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1166
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1167
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1168
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1171
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1172
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1174
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1175
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1176
check. (Robert Collins)
1178
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1179
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1183
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1184
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1186
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1187
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1188
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1189
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1191
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1192
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1193
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1194
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1195
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1197
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1198
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1199
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1201
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1203
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1204
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1210
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1211
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1213
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1214
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1215
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1218
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1219
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1221
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1222
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1223
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1224
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1225
(John Arbash Meinel)
1227
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1228
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1229
used. (Robert Collins)
1231
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1232
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1235
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1236
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1237
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1239
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1242
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1243
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1247
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1248
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1250
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1252
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1254
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1255
tree. (Robert Collins)
1257
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1258
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1259
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1262
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1265
* Tweaks to short log printing
1267
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1270
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1271
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1273
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1274
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1276
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1277
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1279
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1280
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1281
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1283
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1284
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1286
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1287
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1290
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1291
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1293
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1294
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1296
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1297
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1299
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1302
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1303
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1305
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1306
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1308
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1309
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1310
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1314
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1316
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1318
* Error when run with -OO
1320
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1323
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1325
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1327
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1328
ignored by diff and status
1330
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1331
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1333
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1335
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1337
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1338
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1340
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1341
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1343
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1346
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1347
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1349
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1351
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1352
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1354
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1357
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1360
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1364
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1365
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1367
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1369
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1371
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1373
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1374
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1375
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1377
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1379
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1380
(John Arbash Meinel)
1382
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1384
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1385
If adding a new test script please add that to
1386
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1388
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1389
imported. (Martin Pool)
1391
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1392
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1393
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1394
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1395
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1398
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1399
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1400
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1402
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1403
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1404
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1406
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1407
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1408
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1409
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1410
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1413
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1414
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1419
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1420
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1422
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1423
function. (Robert Collins)
1425
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1426
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1427
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1429
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1430
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1432
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1433
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1434
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1435
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1436
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1437
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1438
version. (Robert Collins)
1440
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1441
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1443
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1444
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1445
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1446
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1447
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1448
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1450
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1453
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1461
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1463
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1465
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1468
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1469
query method. (Robert Collins)
1471
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1474
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1477
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1481
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1482
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1483
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1484
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1486
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1487
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1488
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1489
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1491
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1492
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1498
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1501
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1505
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1506
a separator, not ':'.
1509
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1510
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1511
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1513
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1514
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1517
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1518
has been added that suppresses all output.
1520
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1523
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1524
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1526
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1527
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1529
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1530
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1532
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1533
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1534
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1535
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1537
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1539
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1540
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1542
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1543
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1545
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1546
output directory, if one was supplied.
1548
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1549
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1550
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1551
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1553
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1555
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1556
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1558
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1559
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1560
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1562
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1563
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1565
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1568
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1570
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1574
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1575
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1576
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1578
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1579
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1580
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1582
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1583
is given. (Martin Pool)
1585
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1586
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1587
file. (Robert Collins)
1589
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1594
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1595
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1596
representation. (Martin Pool).
1598
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1599
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1600
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1602
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1605
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1606
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1609
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1610
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1611
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1612
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1613
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1615
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1616
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1617
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1618
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1619
python path. (Robert Collins)
1621
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1622
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1623
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1624
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1626
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1627
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1629
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1630
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1633
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1634
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1635
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1637
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1638
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1639
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1641
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1642
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1644
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1645
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1646
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1649
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1650
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1651
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1652
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1655
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1658
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1659
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1662
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1663
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1664
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1666
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1667
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1668
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1670
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1671
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1672
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1674
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1675
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1677
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1678
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1679
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1680
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1681
caller. (Robert Collins)
1683
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1684
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1687
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1688
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1690
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1692
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1693
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1697
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1698
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1700
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1701
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1704
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1708
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1709
allow directories to be listed.
1711
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1712
upgrading branch format.
1716
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1723
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1724
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1725
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1726
high-latency connections.
1730
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1733
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1734
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1736
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1737
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1738
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1739
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1741
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1742
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1744
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1745
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1747
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1748
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1749
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1751
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1752
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1753
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1756
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1757
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1759
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1760
different partial views of history.
1762
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1763
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1767
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1768
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1769
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1771
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1772
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1775
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1776
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1778
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1781
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1782
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1784
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1785
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1786
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1787
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1789
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1791
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1792
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1795
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1796
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1798
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1799
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1800
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1805
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1806
for your viewing pleasure.
1808
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1809
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1811
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1812
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1813
handling of such circumstances.
1818
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1819
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1821
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1822
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1825
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1829
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1831
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1834
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1836
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1838
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1839
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1843
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1844
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1846
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1847
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1848
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1849
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1852
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1853
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1857
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1859
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1860
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1863
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1867
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1868
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1869
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1870
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1873
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1876
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1877
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1878
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1879
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1880
for the operating system is still tried.
1882
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1883
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1884
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1889
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1893
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1895
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1898
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1904
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1906
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1909
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
1913
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
1914
help with intelligent shell completion.
1916
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1921
* Much better merge support.
1923
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1924
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
1930
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
1931
mention revisions that are not present.
1933
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1935
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1937
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1938
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1943
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1945
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1946
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1952
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1953
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
1958
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
1962
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
1963
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
1965
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
1967
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
1968
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
1970
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
1973
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
1975
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
1978
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
1979
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
1981
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
1982
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
1983
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
1988
* Faster working tree operations.
1993
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
1994
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
1995
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
1996
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
1998
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
1999
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2000
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2001
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2002
standard plugins directory.
2004
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2005
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2006
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2007
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2009
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2010
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2012
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2015
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2016
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2017
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2019
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2020
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2022
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2023
line options must come before the command name because they
2024
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2025
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2028
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2030
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2031
is available with ``--short``.
2036
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2039
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2043
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2044
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2046
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2047
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2048
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2049
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2051
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2052
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2053
with the ``--forward`` option.
2055
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2056
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5
2062
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
2063
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
2065
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10
2067
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
2068
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2070
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2072
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2073
either read or write mode.
2075
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2077
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2080
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2082
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2083
suggested by LarstiQ.
2085
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2086
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2088
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2091
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2092
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2094
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2095
haven't changed since the previous time.
2097
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2098
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2100
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2102
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2104
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2105
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2107
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2108
options through to an external GNU diff.
2110
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2113
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2119
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2120
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2122
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
15
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python.
16
Various structural improvements to the tests.
2128
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2129
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2132
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2133
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2135
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2136
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2138
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2139
under a different version.
2141
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
20
2146
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
22
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on
23
mango-sorbet by Scott James Remnant.
2148
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2149
Scott James Remnant.
25
2151
* Better help messages for many commands.
2153
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2154
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2156
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2157
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2159
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2161
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2163
* New AtomicFile class.
2165
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2170
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2171
2.4 is now only recommended.
