Notes
34
*****
35
36
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
37
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
38
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
39
high-latency connections.

Bug Fixes
42
*********
43
44
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
45
Rob Weir.
46
47
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
48
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
49
50
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
51
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
52
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
53
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
54
55
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
56
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
57
58
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
59
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
60
61
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
62
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
63
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
64
65
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
66
for files with only a change to their executable status.
67
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
68
Robert Collins
69
70
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
71
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
72
73
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
74
different partial views of history.
75
76
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
77
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
78
79
Improvements
80
************
81
82
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
83
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
84
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
85
86
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
87
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
88
'bzr upgrade'.
89
90
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
91
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
92
93
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
94
Niemeyer.
95
96
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
97
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
98
99
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
100
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
101
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
102
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
103
104
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
105
106
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
107
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
108
Gustavo Niemeyer.
109
110
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
111
Contributed by Robert Collins.
112
113
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
114
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
115
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
116
117
118
Internals
119
*********
120
121
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
122
for your viewing pleasure.
123
124
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
125
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
126
127
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
128
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
129
handling of such circumstances.
130
131
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
132
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
133
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
134
135
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
136
137
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
138
we call them revisions not patches.
139
140
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
141
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
142
143
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
144
giving the revision *of that file*.
145
146
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
147
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
148
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
149
150
Testing
151
*******
152
153
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
154
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
155
156
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
157
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

168
169
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
170
(Robert Collins).
171
172
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
173
174
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
175
176
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
177
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
178
179
Improvements
180
************
181
182
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
183
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
184
185
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
186
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
187
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
188
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
189
Robey Pointer
190
191
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
192
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
193
194
Internals
195
*********
196
197
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
198
199

200
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

Improvements
210
************
211
212
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
213
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
214
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
215
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
216
Michael Ellerman.
217
218
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
219
(Nir Soffer)
220
221
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
222
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
223
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
224
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
225
for the operating system is still tried.
226
227
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
228
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
229
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
230

Internals
233
*********
234
235
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.

239
240
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
241
242
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
243
branch.
244
245
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
246
read.

New Features
263
************
264
265
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
266
help with intelligent shell completion.
267
268
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
269
270
271
Enhancements
272
************
273
274
* Much better merge support.
275
276
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
277
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
278
like emacs smerge.
279
280
281
Bug Fixes
282
*********
283
284
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
285
mention revisions that are not present.
286
287
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
288
289
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
290
291
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
292
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
293
294
295
Changes
296
*******
297
298
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
299
300
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
301
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
302
--help themselves.
303
304
305
Library
306
*******
307
308
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
309
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
310
libraries.

New Features
320
************
321
322
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
323
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
324
325
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
326
327
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
328
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
329
330
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
331
FOO.
332
333
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
334
335
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
336
the Unix command.
337
338
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
339
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
340
341
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
342
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
343
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
344
345
346
Enhancements
347
************
348
349
* Faster working tree operations.
350
351
352
Changes
353
*******
354
355
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
356
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
357
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
358
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
359
360
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
361
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
362
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
363
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
364
standard plugins directory.
365
366
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
367
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
368
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
369
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
370
371
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
372
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
373
374
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
375
disk.
376
377
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
378
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
379
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
380
381
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
382
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
383
384
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
385
line options must come before the command name because they
386
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
387
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
388
it.
389
390
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
391
392
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
393
is available with ``--short``.
394
395
396
Bug Fixes
397
*********
398
399

405
:Released: 2005-06-15
406
407
Changes
408
*******
409
410
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
411
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
412
413
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
414
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
415
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
416
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
417
418
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
419
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
420
with the ``--forward`` option.
421
422
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
423
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
424
field.
425
426
427
Enhancements
428
************
429
430
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
431
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
432
433
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
434
435
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
436
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
437
438
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
439
440
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
441
either read or write mode.
442
443
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
444
445
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
446
affected that file.
447
448
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
449
450
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
451
suggested by LarstiQ.
452
453
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
454
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
455
456
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
457
a filename.
458
459
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
460
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
461
462
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
463
haven't changed since the previous time.
464
465
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
466
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
467
468
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
469
470
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
471
472
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
473
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
474
475
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
476
options through to an external GNU diff.
477
478
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
479
their contents.
480
481
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
482
from a branch.
483
484
485
Bug Fixes
486
*********
487
488
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
489
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
490
491
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
492
metacharacters.
493
494
495
Testing
496
*******
497
498
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
499
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
500
the tests.
501
502
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
503
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
504
505
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
506
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
507
508
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
509
under a different version.
510
511
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
512
513
514
Internal
515
********
516
517
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
518
519
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
520
Scott James Remnant.
521
522
* Better help messages for many commands.
523
524
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
525
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
526
527
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
528
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
529
530
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
531
532
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
533
534
* New AtomicFile class.
535
536
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.

************
553
554
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
555
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
556
557
* More default ignore patterns.
558
559
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
560
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
561
562
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
563
564
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch

570
Changes
571
*******
572
573
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
574
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
575
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
576
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
577
there are DNS problems.
578
579
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
580
581

590
trailing newlines properly.
