* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
13
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
14
has been added that suppresses all output.
16
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
19
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
22
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
23
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
25
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
26
a revision. (Robert Collins)
28
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
29
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
30
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
31
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
35
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
36
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
37
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
39
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
40
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
41
related questions. (Robert Collins)
43
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one feels, unless '--one'
44
is given. (Martin Pool)
48
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
49
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
50
representation. (Martin Pool).
52
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
53
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
54
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
56
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
59
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
60
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
63
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
64
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
65
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
66
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
67
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
69
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
70
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
71
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
72
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
73
python path. (Robert Collins)
75
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
76
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
77
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
78
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
80
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
81
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
83
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
84
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
87
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
88
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
89
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
91
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
92
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
93
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
97
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
98
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
104
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
105
allow directories to be listed.
107
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
108
upgrading branch format.
112
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
119
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
120
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
121
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
122
high-latency connections.
126
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
129
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
130
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
132
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
133
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
134
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
135
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
137
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
138
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
140
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
141
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
143
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
144
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
145
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
147
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
148
for files with only a change to their executable status.
149
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
152
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
153
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
155
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
156
different partial views of history.
158
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
159
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
164
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
165
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
166
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
168
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
169
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
172
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
173
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
175
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
178
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
179
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
181
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
182
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
183
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
184
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
186
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
188
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
189
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
192
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
193
Contributed by Robert Collins.
195
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
196
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
197
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
202
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
203
for your viewing pleasure.
205
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
206
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
208
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
209
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
210
handling of such circumstances.
215
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
216
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
218
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
219
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
226
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
228
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
231
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
233
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
235
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
236
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
240
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
241
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
243
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
244
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
245
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
246
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
249
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
250
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
254
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
256
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
257
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
264
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
265
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
266
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
267
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
270
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
273
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
274
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
275
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
276
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
277
for the operating system is still tried.
279
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
280
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
281
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
286
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
290
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
292
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
295
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
301
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
303
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
310
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
311
help with intelligent shell completion.
313
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
318
* Much better merge support.
320
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
321
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
327
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
328
mention revisions that are not present.
330
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
332
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
334
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
335
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
340
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
342
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
343
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
349
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
350
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
359
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
360
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
362
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
364
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
365
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
367
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
370
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
372
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
375
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
376
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
378
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
379
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
380
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
385
* Faster working tree operations.
390
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
391
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
392
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
393
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
395
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
396
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
397
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
398
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
399
standard plugins directory.
401
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
402
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
403
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
404
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
406
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
407
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
409
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
412
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
413
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
414
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
416
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
417
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
419
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
420
line options must come before the command name because they
421
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
422
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
425
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
427
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
428
is available with ``--short``.
433
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
440
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
441
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
443
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
444
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
445
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
446
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
448
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
449
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
450
with the ``--forward`` option.
452
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
453
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
1
bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
459
5
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
460
6
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
462
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
464
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
465
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
467
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
469
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
470
either read or write mode.
472
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
474
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
477
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
479
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
480
suggested by LarstiQ.
482
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
483
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
485
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
488
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
489
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
491
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
492
haven't changed since the previous time.
494
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
495
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
497
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
499
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
501
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
502
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
504
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
505
options through to an external GNU diff.
507
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
510
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
516
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
517
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
519
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
525
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
526
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
529
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
530
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
532
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
533
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
535
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
536
under a different version.
538
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
12
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python.
13
Various structural improvements to the tests.
543
17
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
545
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
548
* Better help messages for many commands.
550
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
551
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
553
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
554
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
556
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
558
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
560
* New AtomicFile class.
562
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
567
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
568
2.4 is now only recommended.
