  IMPROVEMENTS:

    * Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will

      implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means

      you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just

      get added when you add a file in the directory.  Contributed by

      Michael Ellerman.

    * Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default.  Patch from

      Nir Soffer.

    * If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in

      preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit

      editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program

      set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program

      for the operating system is still tried.

    * Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer

      cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add

      them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

  INTERNALS:

    * Refactor xml packing/unpacking.

  BUG FIXES: 

    * Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.

    * Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http

      branch.

    * Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

      read.

  PORTABILITY:

    * Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.

    * Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02

  NEW FEATURES:

    * ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to

      help with intelligent shell completion.

    * New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.

  ENHANCEMENTS:

    * Much better merge support.

    * merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'

      (seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things

      like emacs smerge.

  BUG FIXES:

    * ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that

      mention revisions that are not present.

    * Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.

    * Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.

    * Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.

      (Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)

  CHANGES:

    * ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.

    * Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need

      to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle

      --help themselves.

  LIBRARY:

    * Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging

      framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

      libraries.

bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18

  NEW FEATURES:

    * Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on

      BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.

    * New 'bzr mkdir' command.

    * Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the

      command line; patch from Torsten Marek.

    * ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp 

      FOO.

    * ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.

    * ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like

      the Unix command.

    * ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences

      between two trees.  (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)

    * An email address for commits to a particular tree can be

      specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch.  (Based

      on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)

  ENHANCEMENTS:

    * Faster working tree operations.

  CHANGES:

    * 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib

      python package, so that they can be installed by the setup

      script without clashing with anything already existing on the

      system.  (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)

    * Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard

      plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but

      is also available when using bzr from the development tree.

      BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the

      standard plugins directory.

    * When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put 

      everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the

      current directory.   This can be overridden with the ``--root`` 

      option.  Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.

    * New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,

      replacing ``bzr check --update``.

    * Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on

      disk.

    * Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by

      John A Meinel.  Old format is available with the ``--long`` or

      ``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.

    * By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with

      no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.

    * The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command

      line options must come before the command name because they 

      affect what commands are available; all other options must come 

      after the command name because their interpretation depends on

      it.

    * ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.

    * Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one

      is available with ``--short``.

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

bzr-0.0.5  2005-06-15

  CHANGES:

    * ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an

      error.  Suggested by Michael Ellerman.

    * ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output

      doesn't really match the model of bzr.  Now files are grouped by

      status and can be shown with their IDs.  ``bzr status --all``

      shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.

    * ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse

      of the previous order.  The previous behaviour can be obtained

      with the ``--forward`` option.

    * ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids

      if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second

      field.

  ENHANCEMENTS:

    * New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component

      of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.

    * New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.

    * Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar

      conditions that don't indicate an internal error.

    * Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.

    * Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in

      either read or write mode.

    * New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.

    * New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that

      affected that file.

    * Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.

    * New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,

      suggested by LarstiQ.

    * New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz

      Oler.  File may be in a branch other than the working directory.

    * ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of

      a filename.

    * Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts

      in a directory on $BZRPATH.

    * New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they 

      haven't changed since the previous time.

    * If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one

      or give an error.  Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.

    * New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.

    * New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.

    * New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected

      range; contributed by John A Meinel.

    * New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing

      options through to an external GNU diff.

    * New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not

      their contents.

    * ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run

      from a branch.

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be

      handled properly by patch.  Fix from Lalo Martins.

    * Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other

      metacharacters.

  TESTING:

    * Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;

      now run using ``./testbzr``.  Various structural improvements to

      the tests.

    * testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same

      directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.

    * testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command

      required to check is just ``./testbzr``.

    * testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running

      under a different version.

    * Tests added for many other changes in this release.

  INTERNAL:

    * Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.

    * Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by

      Scott James Remnant.

    * Better help messages for many commands.

    * Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until

      this is called trace messages are just discarded.

    * New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden

      command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.

    * Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.

    * bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.

    * New AtomicFile class.

    * New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.

  PORTABILITY:

    * Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.

      2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4  2005-04-22

  ENHANCEMENTS:

    * 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff.  Still a bit

      basic.  Patch from QuantumG.

    * More default ignore patterns.

    * New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the

      changeset.  Patch from Sebastian Cote.

    * Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.

    * Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch

      by Jason Diamon.

    * New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.

  CHANGES:

    * User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email

      or $EMAIL.  All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.

      If none of these are present user@hostname is used.  The host's

      fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when

      there are DNS problems.

    * New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.

  BUG FIXES: 

    * Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.

    * Some Unicode/locale fixes.

    * Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling

      trailing newlines properly.

  INTERNAL:

    * Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format.  Patch from

      Matt Brubeck.

    * More tests in test.sh.

    * Write profile data to a temporary file not into working

      directory and delete it when done.

    * Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.

  PORTABILITY:

    * Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows.  Patch from Andrew

      Bennetts.

    * Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

      from QuantumG.

bzr-0.0.3  2005-04-06

  ENHANCEMENTS:

    * New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories

      in the tree.

    * Can now say "bzr commit --help".

    * New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name

      and/or directory.

    * New "move" command to move one or more files into a different

      directory.

    * New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.

    * New cat command contributed by janmar.

  CHANGES:

    * .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in

      UTF-8.  (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but

      will do for now.)

  PORTABILITY:

    * Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an

      exception when comparing empty files.  Reported by Erik Toubro

      Nielsen.

  INTERNAL:

    * Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

  TESTING:

    * Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2.1

  PORTABILITY:

    * Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.

bzr-0.0.2  "black cube"  2005-03-31

  ENHANCEMENTS:

    * Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).

    * Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,

      rather than replacing it.

    * Ignore list isn't reread for every file.

    * More help topics.

    * Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the

      branch.

    * New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;

      'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.

    * Performance improvements.

    * New global --profile option.

    * Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in

      the root directory only.

bzr-0.0.1  2005-03-26

  ENHANCEMENTS:

    * More information from info command.
