16
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
17
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
19
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
20
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
21
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
24
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
25
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
27
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
28
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
29
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
30
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
31
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
33
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
34
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
35
used. (Robert Collins)
37
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
38
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
41
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
42
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
43
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
45
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
48
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
49
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
54
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
55
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
57
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
59
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
61
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
62
tree. (Robert Collins)
64
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
65
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
66
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
69
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
72
* Tweaks to short log printing
74
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
77
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
80
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
81
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
83
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
84
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
86
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
87
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
88
settings. (Magnus Therning)
90
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
93
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
94
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
97
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
98
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
100
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
101
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
103
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
104
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
106
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
109
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
110
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
112
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
113
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
115
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
116
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
117
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
122
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
124
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
126
* Error when run with -OO
128
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
131
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
133
* Change status to 3 for all errors
135
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
136
ignored by diff and status
138
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
139
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
141
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
143
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
145
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
146
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
148
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
149
email address. (Marien Zwart)
151
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
154
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
155
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
157
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
159
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
160
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
162
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
165
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
166
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
168
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
173
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
174
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
176
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
178
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
180
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
182
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
183
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
184
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
186
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
188
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
191
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
193
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
194
If adding a new test script please add that to
195
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
197
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
198
imported. (Martin Pool)
200
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
201
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
202
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
203
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
204
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
207
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
208
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
209
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
211
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
212
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
213
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
215
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
216
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
217
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
218
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
219
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
222
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
223
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
229
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
230
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
232
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
233
function. (Robert Collins)
235
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
236
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
237
if needed). (Robert Collins)
239
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
240
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
243
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
244
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
245
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
246
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
247
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
248
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
249
version. (Robert Collins)
251
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
252
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
254
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
255
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
256
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
257
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
258
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
259
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
261
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
264
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
274
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
276
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
278
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
281
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
282
query method. (Robert Collins)
284
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
287
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
290
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
293
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
294
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
295
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
296
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
298
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
299
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
300
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
301
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
303
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
304
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
