5
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6
convention. Paths now take the form:
7
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
14
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
15
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
16
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
18
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
19
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
20
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
21
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
23
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
24
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
27
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
29
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
31
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
32
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
33
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
34
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
37
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
39
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
40
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
41
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
44
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
46
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
48
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
51
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
52
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
54
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
55
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
58
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
59
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
62
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
64
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
66
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
67
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
69
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
70
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
71
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
72
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
73
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
74
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
76
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
78
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
79
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
82
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
83
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
85
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
86
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
88
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
90
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
91
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
92
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
93
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
94
specification by Martin Pool.
95
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, John Rydberg, Martin Pool).
97
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
100
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
101
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
103
* New option 'diff --diff-prefix' to control how files are named in diff
104
output. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli)
108
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
109
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
111
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
113
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
115
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
120
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
121
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
122
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
123
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
125
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
126
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
129
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
132
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
134
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
135
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
136
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
138
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
139
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
141
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
142
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
143
paths. (Robert Collins)
145
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
146
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
147
needs. (Robert Collins)
149
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
150
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
151
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
153
* Progress bars are now nested - see
154
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
156
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
159
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
162
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
164
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
166
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
167
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
168
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
171
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
172
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
176
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
177
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
179
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
180
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
181
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
182
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
184
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
185
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
186
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
187
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
188
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
190
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
191
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
192
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
194
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
196
bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
200
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
201
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
203
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
204
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
205
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
208
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
209
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
211
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
212
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
213
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
214
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
217
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
218
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
219
used. (Robert Collins)
221
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
222
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
225
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
226
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
227
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
229
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
232
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
233
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
237
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
238
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
240
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
242
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
244
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
245
tree. (Robert Collins)
247
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
248
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
249
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
252
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
255
* Tweaks to short log printing
257
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
260
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
261
occurs. (Martin Pool)
263
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
264
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
266
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
267
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
269
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
270
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
271
settings. (Magnus Therning)
273
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
274
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
276
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
277
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
280
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
281
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
283
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
284
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
286
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
287
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
289
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
292
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
293
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
295
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
296
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
298
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
299
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
300
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
304
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
306
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
308
* Error when run with -OO
310
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
313
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
315
* Change status to 3 for all errors
317
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
318
ignored by diff and status
320
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
321
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
323
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
325
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
327
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
328
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
330
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
331
email address. (Marien Zwart)
333
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
336
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
337
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
339
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
341
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
342
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
344
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
347
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
350
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
354
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
355
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
357
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
359
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
361
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
363
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
364
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
365
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
367
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
369
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
372
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
374
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
375
If adding a new test script please add that to
376
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
378
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
379
imported. (Martin Pool)
381
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
382
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
383
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
384
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
385
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
388
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
389
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
390
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
392
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
393
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
394
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
396
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
397
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
398
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
399
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
400
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
403
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
404
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
409
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
410
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
412
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
413
function. (Robert Collins)
415
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
416
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
417
if needed). (Robert Collins)
419
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
420
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
422
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
423
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
424
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
425
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
426
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
427
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
428
version. (Robert Collins)
430
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
431
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
433
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
434
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
435
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
436
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
437
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
438
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
440
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
443
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
451
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
453
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
455
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
458
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
459
query method. (Robert Collins)
461
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
464
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
467
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
471
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
472
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
473
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
474
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
476
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
477
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
478
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
479
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
481
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
482
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
488
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
491
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
495
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
496
a separator, not ':'.
499
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
500
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
501
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
503
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
504
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
507
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
508
has been added that suppresses all output.
510
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
513
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
516
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
517
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
519
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
520
a revision. (Robert Collins)
522
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
523
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
524
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
525
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
527
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
529
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
530
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
532
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
533
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
535
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
536
output directory, if one was supplied.
538
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
539
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
540
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
541
parameters. (Robert Collins)
543
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
545
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
546
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
548
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
549
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
550
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
552
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
553
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
555
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
558
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
560
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
564
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
565
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
566
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
568
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
569
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
570
related questions. (Robert Collins)
572
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
573
is given. (Martin Pool)
575
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
576
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
577
file. (Robert Collins)
579
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
584
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
585
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
586
representation. (Martin Pool).
588
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
589
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
590
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
592
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
595
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
596
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
599
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
600
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
601
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
602
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
603
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
605
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
606
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
607
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
608
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
609
python path. (Robert Collins)
611
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
612
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
613
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
614
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
616
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
617
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
619
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
620
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
623
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
624
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
625
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
627
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
628
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
629
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
631
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
632
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
634
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
635
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
636
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
639
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
640
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
641
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
642
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
645
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
648
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
649
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
652
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
653
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
654
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
656
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
657
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
658
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
660
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
661
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
662
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
664
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
665
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
667
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
668
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
669
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
670
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
671
caller. (Robert Collins)
673
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
674
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
677
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
678
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
680
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
682
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
683
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
687
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
688
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
690
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
691
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
698
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
699
allow directories to be listed.
701
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
702
upgrading branch format.
706
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
713
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
714
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
715
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
716
high-latency connections.
720
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
723
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
724
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
726
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
727
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
728
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
729
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
731
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
732
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
734
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
735
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
737
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
738
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
739
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
741
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
742
for files with only a change to their executable status.
743
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
746
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
747
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
749
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
750
different partial views of history.
752
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
753
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
758
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
759
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
760
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
762
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
763
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
766
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
767
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
769
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
772
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
773
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
775
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
776
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
777
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
778
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
780
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
782
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
783
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
786
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
787
Contributed by Robert Collins.
789
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
790
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
791
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
796
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
797
for your viewing pleasure.
799
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
800
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
802
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
803
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
804
handling of such circumstances.
809
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
810
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
812
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
813
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
820
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
822
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
825
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
827
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
829
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
830
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
834
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
835
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
837
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
838
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
839
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
840
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
843
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
844
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
848
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
850
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
851
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
858
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
859
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
860
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
861
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
864
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
867
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
868
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
869
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
870
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
871
for the operating system is still tried.
873
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
874
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
875
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
880
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
884
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
886
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
889
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
895
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
897
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
904
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
905
help with intelligent shell completion.
907
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
912
* Much better merge support.
914
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
915
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
921
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
922
mention revisions that are not present.
924
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
926
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
928
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
929
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
934
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
936
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
937
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
943
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
944
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
