5
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
10
has been added that suppresses all output.
12
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
15
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
18
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
21
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
24
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
25
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
26
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
31
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
32
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
35
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
36
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
39
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one feels, unless '--one'
44
* New 'manifest' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
45
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
48
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
51
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
52
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
55
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
56
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
57
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
58
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
59
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
61
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
62
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
63
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
64
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
65
python path. (Robert Collins)
67
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
68
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
69
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
70
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
77
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
78
allow directories to be listed.
80
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
81
upgrading branch format.
85
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
92
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
93
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
94
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
95
high-latency connections.
99
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
102
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
103
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
105
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
106
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
107
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
108
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
110
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
111
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
113
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
114
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
116
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
117
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
118
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
120
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
121
for files with only a change to their executable status.
122
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
125
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
126
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
128
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
129
different partial views of history.
131
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
132
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
137
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
138
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
139
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
141
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
142
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
145
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
146
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
148
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
151
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
152
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
154
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
155
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
156
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
157
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
159
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
161
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
162
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
165
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
166
Contributed by Robert Collins.
168
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
169
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
170
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
175
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
176
for your viewing pleasure.
178
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
179
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
181
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
182
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
183
handling of such circumstances.
188
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
189
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
191
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
192
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
199
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
201
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
204
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
206
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
208
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
209
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
213
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
214
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
216
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
217
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
218
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
219
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
222
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
223
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
227
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
229
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
230
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
237
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
238
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
239
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
240
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
243
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
246
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
247
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
248
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
249
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
250
for the operating system is still tried.
252
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
253
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
254
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
259
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
263
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
265
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
268
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
274
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
276
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
283
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
284
help with intelligent shell completion.
286
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
291
* Much better merge support.
293
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
294
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
300
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
301
mention revisions that are not present.
303
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
305
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
307
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
308
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
313
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
315
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
316
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
322
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
323
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
