5
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
13
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
15
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
18
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
19
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
20
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
22
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
23
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
24
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
25
grained analysis of performance.
26
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
28
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
29
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
31
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
32
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
33
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
34
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
35
file. (Robert Collins).
37
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
38
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
39
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
41
* ``log --line`` shows the revision number. (#5162, Alexander Belchenko)
45
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
46
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
51
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
52
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
53
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
55
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
56
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
57
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
63
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
69
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
70
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
72
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
73
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
75
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
76
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
77
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
81
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
83
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
84
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
86
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
90
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
91
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
92
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
93
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
97
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
98
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
99
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
103
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
104
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
105
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
109
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
110
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
114
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
116
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
117
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
118
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
119
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
120
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
121
will keep the same format.
123
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
124
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
125
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
126
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
127
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
129
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
130
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
131
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
132
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
133
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
134
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
135
indicating the current revision of the branch.
137
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
138
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
139
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
140
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
141
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
143
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
144
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
145
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
151
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
152
convention. Paths now take the form:
153
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
155
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
157
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
158
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
160
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
161
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
162
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
164
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
165
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
166
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
167
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
169
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
170
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
173
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
175
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
177
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
178
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
179
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
180
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
183
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
185
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
186
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
187
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
190
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
192
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
194
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
197
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
198
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
200
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
201
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
204
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
205
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
208
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
210
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
212
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
213
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
215
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
216
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
217
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
218
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
219
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
220
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
222
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
224
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
225
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
228
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
229
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
231
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
232
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
234
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
236
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
237
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
238
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
239
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
240
specification by Martin Pool.
241
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
243
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
246
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
247
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
249
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
250
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
251
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
253
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
255
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
257
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
258
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
263
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
264
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
266
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
268
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
270
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
273
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
274
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
275
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
276
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
280
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
281
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
282
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
283
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
285
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
286
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
289
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
292
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
294
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
295
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
296
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
298
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
299
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
301
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
302
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
303
paths. (Robert Collins)
305
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
306
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
307
needs. (Robert Collins)
309
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
310
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
311
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
313
* Progress bars are now nested - see
314
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
316
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
319
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
322
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
324
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
326
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
327
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
328
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
331
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
332
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
334
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
335
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
336
check. (Robert Collins)
338
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
339
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
343
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
344
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
346
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
347
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
348
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
349
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
351
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
352
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
353
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
354
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
355
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
357
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
358
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
359
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
361
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
363
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
364
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
370
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
371
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
373
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
374
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
375
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
378
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
379
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
381
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
382
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
383
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
384
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
387
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
388
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
389
used. (Robert Collins)
391
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
392
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
395
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
396
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
397
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
399
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
402
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
403
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
407
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
408
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
410
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
412
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
414
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
415
tree. (Robert Collins)
417
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
418
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
419
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
422
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
425
* Tweaks to short log printing
427
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
430
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
431
occurs. (Martin Pool)
433
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
434
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
436
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
437
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
439
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
440
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
441
settings. (Magnus Therning)
443
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
444
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
446
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
447
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
450
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
451
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
453
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
454
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
456
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
457
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
459
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
462
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
463
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
465
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
466
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
468
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
469
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
470
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
474
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
476
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
478
* Error when run with -OO
480
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
483
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
485
* Change status to 3 for all errors
487
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
488
ignored by diff and status
490
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
491
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
493
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
495
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
497
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
498
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
500
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
501
email address. (Marien Zwart)
503
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
506
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
507
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
509
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
511
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
512
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
514
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
517
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
520
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
524
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
525
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
527
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
529
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
531
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
533
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
534
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
535
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
537
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
539
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
542
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
544
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
545
If adding a new test script please add that to
546
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
548
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
549
imported. (Martin Pool)
551
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
552
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
553
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
554
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
555
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
558
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
559
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
560
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
562
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
563
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
564
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
566
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
567
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
568
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
569
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
570
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
573
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
574
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
579
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
580
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
582
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
583
function. (Robert Collins)
585
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
586
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
587
if needed). (Robert Collins)
589
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
590
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
592
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
593
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
594
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
595
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
596
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
597
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
598
version. (Robert Collins)
600
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
601
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
603
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
604
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
605
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
606
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
607
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
608
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
610
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
613
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
621
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
623
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
625
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
628
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
629
query method. (Robert Collins)
631
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
634
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
637
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
641
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
642
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
643
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
644
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
646
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
647
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
648
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
649
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
651
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
652
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
658
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
661
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
665
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
666
a separator, not ':'.
669
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
670
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
671
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
673
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
674
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
677
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
678
has been added that suppresses all output.
680
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
683
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
686
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
687
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
689
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
690
a revision. (Robert Collins)
692
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
693
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
694
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
695
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
697
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
699
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
700
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
702
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
703
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
705
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
706
output directory, if one was supplied.
708
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
709
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
710
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
711
parameters. (Robert Collins)
713
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
715
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
716
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
718
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
719
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
720
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
722
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
723
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
725
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
728
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
730
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
734
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
735
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
736
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
738
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
739
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
740
related questions. (Robert Collins)
742
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
743
is given. (Martin Pool)
745
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
746
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
747
file. (Robert Collins)
749
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
754
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
755
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
756
representation. (Martin Pool).
758
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
759
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
760
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
762
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
765
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
766
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
769
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
770
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
771
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
772
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
773
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
775
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
776
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
777
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
778
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
779
python path. (Robert Collins)
781
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
782
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
783
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
784
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
786
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
787
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
789
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
790
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
793
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
794
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
795
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
797
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
798
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
799
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
801
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
802
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
804
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
805
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
806
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
809
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
810
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
811
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
812
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
815
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
818
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
819
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
822
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
823
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
824
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
826
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
827
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
828
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
830
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
831
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
832
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
834
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
835
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
837
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
838
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
839
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
840
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
841
caller. (Robert Collins)
843
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
844
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
847
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
848
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
850
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
852
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
853
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
857
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
858
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
860
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
861
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
868
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
869
allow directories to be listed.
871
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
872
upgrading branch format.
876
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
883
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
884
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
885
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
886
high-latency connections.
890
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
893
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
894
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
896
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
897
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
898
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
899
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
901
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
902
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
904
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
905
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
907
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
908
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
909
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
911
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
912
for files with only a change to their executable status.
913
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
916
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
917
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
919
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
920
different partial views of history.
922
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
923
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
928
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
929
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
930
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
932
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
933
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
936
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
937
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
939
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
942
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
943
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
945
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
946
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
947
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
948
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
950
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
952
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
953
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
956
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
957
Contributed by Robert Collins.
959
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
960
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
961
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
966
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
967
for your viewing pleasure.
969
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
970
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
972
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
973
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
974
handling of such circumstances.
979
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
980
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
982
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
983
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
990
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
992
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
995
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
997
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
999
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1000
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1004
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1005
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1007
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1008
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1009
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1010
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1013
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1014
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1018
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1020
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1021
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1024
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1028
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1029
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1030
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1031
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1034
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1037
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1038
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1039
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1040
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1041
for the operating system is still tried.
1043
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1044
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1045
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1050
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1054
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1056
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1059
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1065
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1067
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1070
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
1074
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
1075
help with intelligent shell completion.
1077
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1082
* Much better merge support.
1084
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1085
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
1091
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
1092
mention revisions that are not present.
1094
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1096
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1098
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1099
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1104
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1106
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1107
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1113
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1114
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
1119
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
1123
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
1124
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
1126
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
1128
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
1129
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
1131
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
1134
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
1136
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
1139
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
1140
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
1142
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
1143
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
1144
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
1149
* Faster working tree operations.
1154
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
1155
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
1156
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
1157
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
1159
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
1160
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
1161
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
1162
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
1163
standard plugins directory.
1165
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
1166
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
1167
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
1168
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
1170
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
1171
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
1173
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
1176
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
1177
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
1178
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
1180
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
1181
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
1183
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
1184
line options must come before the command name because they
1185
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
1186
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
1189
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
1191
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
1192
is available with ``--short``.
1197
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
