* 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.
12
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
13
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
15
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
16
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
17
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
22
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
23
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
24
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
26
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
27
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
30
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
31
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
33
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
36
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
37
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
42
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
43
for your viewing pleasure.
45
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
46
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
51
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
52
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
54
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
55
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
62
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
64
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
67
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
69
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
71
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
72
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
76
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
77
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
79
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
80
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
81
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
82
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
85
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
86
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
90
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
92
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
93
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
100
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
101
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
102
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
103
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
106
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
109
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
110
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
111
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
112
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
113
for the operating system is still tried.
115
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
116
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
117
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
122
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
126
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
128
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
131
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
137
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
139
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
146
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
147
help with intelligent shell completion.
149
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
154
* Much better merge support.
156
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
157
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
163
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
164
mention revisions that are not present.
166
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
168
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
170
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
171
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
176
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
178
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
179
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
185
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
186
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
195
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
196
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
198
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
200
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
201
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
203
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
206
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
208
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
211
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
212
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
214
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
215
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
216
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
221
* Faster working tree operations.
226
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
227
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
228
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
229
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
231
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
232
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
233
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
234
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
235
standard plugins directory.
237
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
238
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
239
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
240
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
242
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
243
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
245
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
248
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
249
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
250
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
252
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
253
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
255
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
256
line options must come before the command name because they
257
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
258
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
261
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
263
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
264
is available with ``--short``.
269
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
