* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
15
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
16
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
17
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
19
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
20
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
23
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
24
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
26
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
29
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
30
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
34
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
35
for your viewing pleasure.
40
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
41
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
43
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
44
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
51
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
53
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
56
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
58
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
60
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
61
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
65
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
66
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
68
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
69
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
70
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
71
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
74
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
75
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
79
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
81
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
82
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
89
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
90
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
91
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
92
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
95
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
98
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
99
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
100
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
101
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
102
for the operating system is still tried.
104
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
105
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
106
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
111
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
115
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
117
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
120
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
126
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
128
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
135
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
136
help with intelligent shell completion.
138
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
143
* Much better merge support.
145
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
146
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
152
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
153
mention revisions that are not present.
155
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
157
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
159
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
160
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
165
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
167
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
168
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
174
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
175
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
184
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
185
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
187
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
189
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
190
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
192
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
195
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
197
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
200
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
201
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
203
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
204
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
205
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
210
* Faster working tree operations.
215
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
216
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
217
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
218
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
220
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
221
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
222
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
223
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
224
standard plugins directory.
226
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
227
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
228
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
229
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
231
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
232
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
234
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
237
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
238
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
239
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
241
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
242
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
244
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
245
line options must come before the command name because they
246
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
247
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
250
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
252
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
253
is available with ``--short``.
258
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
265
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
266
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
268
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
269
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
270
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
271
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
273
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
274
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
275
with the ``--forward`` option.
277
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
278
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
284
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
285
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
287
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
289
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
290
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
292
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
294
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
295
either read or write mode.
297
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
299
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
302
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
304
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
305
suggested by LarstiQ.
307
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
308
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
310
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
313
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
314
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
316
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
317
haven't changed since the previous time.
319
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
320
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
322
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
324
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
326
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
327
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
329
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
330
options through to an external GNU diff.
332
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
335
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
341
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
342
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
344
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
350
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
351
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
354
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
355
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
357
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
358
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
360
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
361
under a different version.
363
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
368
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
370
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
373
* Better help messages for many commands.
375
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
376
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
378
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
379
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
381
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
383
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
385
* New AtomicFile class.
387
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
392
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
393
2.4 is now only recommended.
400
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
401
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
403
* More default ignore patterns.
405
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
406
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
408
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
410
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
413
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
418
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
419
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
420
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
421
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
422
there are DNS problems.
424
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
429
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
431
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
433
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
434
trailing newlines properly.
439
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
442
* More tests in test.sh.
444
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
445
directory and delete it when done.
447
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
452
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
455
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
463
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
466
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
468
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
471
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
474
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
476
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
480
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
481
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
486
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
487
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
492
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
496
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
503
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
506
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
510
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
512
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
513
rather than replacing it.
515
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
519
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
522
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
523
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
525
* Performance improvements.
527
* New global --profile option.
529
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
530
the root directory only.
537
* More information from info command.
539
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
541
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
542
committing to stores.
544
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
548
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
552
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
555
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
559
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
563
* First public release.
565
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
