bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" NOT RELEASED YET
5
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
8
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
11
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
13
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
16
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
20
* Faster working tree operations.
24
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
25
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
26
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
27
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
29
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
30
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
32
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
35
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
36
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
37
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
39
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
40
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
47
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
48
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
50
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
51
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
52
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
53
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
55
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
56
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
57
with the ``--forward`` option.
59
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
60
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
66
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
67
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
69
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
71
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
72
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
74
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
76
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
77
either read or write mode.
79
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
81
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
84
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
86
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
89
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
90
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
92
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
95
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
96
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
98
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
99
haven't changed since the previous time.
101
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
102
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
104
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
106
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
108
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
109
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
111
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
112
options through to an external GNU diff.
114
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
117
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
123
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
124
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
126
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
132
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
133
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
136
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
137
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
139
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
140
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
142
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
143
under a different version.
145
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
150
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
152
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
155
* Better help messages for many commands.
157
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
158
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
160
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
161
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
163
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
165
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
167
* New AtomicFile class.
169
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
174
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
175
2.4 is now only recommended.
182
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
183
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
185
* More default ignore patterns.
187
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
188
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
190
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
192
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
195
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
200
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
201
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
202
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
203
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
204
there are DNS problems.
206
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
211
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
213
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
215
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
216
trailing newlines properly.
221
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
224
* More tests in test.sh.
226
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
227
directory and delete it when done.
229
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
234
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
237
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
245
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
248
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
250
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
253
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
256
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
258
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
262
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
263
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
268
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
269
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
274
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
278
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
285
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
