bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" NOT RELEASED YET
5
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
14
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
15
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
17
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
18
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
19
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
20
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
22
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
23
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
24
with the ``--forward`` option.
26
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
27
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
33
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
34
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
36
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
38
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
39
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
41
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
43
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
44
either read or write mode.
46
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
48
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
51
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
53
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
56
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
57
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
59
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
62
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
63
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
65
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
66
haven't changed since the previous time.
68
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
69
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
71
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
73
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
75
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
76
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
78
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
79
options through to an external GNU diff.
81
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
84
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
90
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
91
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
93
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
99
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
100
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
103
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
104
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
106
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
107
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
109
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
110
under a different version.
112
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
117
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
119
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
122
* Better help messages for many commands.
124
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
125
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
127
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
128
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
130
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
132
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
134
* New AtomicFile class.
136
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
141
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
142
2.4 is now only recommended.
149
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
150
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
152
* More default ignore patterns.
154
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
155
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
157
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
159
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
162
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
167
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
168
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
169
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
170
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
171
there are DNS problems.
173
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
178
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
180
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
182
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
183
trailing newlines properly.
188
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
191
* More tests in test.sh.
193
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
194
directory and delete it when done.
196
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
201
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
204
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
212
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
215
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
217
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
220
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
223
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
225
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
229
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
230
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
235
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
236
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
241
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
245
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
252
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
