/brz/remove-bazaar

DEVELOPMENT HEAD

  IMPROVEMENTS:

    * The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file 

      ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.

  INTERNALS:

    * Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-06

  NOTES:

    * 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate

      of completion time but it should fall as the first few 

      revisions are pulled in.  branch is still slow on 

      high-latency connections.

  BUG FIXES:

    * bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by

      Rob Weir.

    * Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS

      file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.

    * When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on

      one side and modified on the other, the old contents are

      written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this

      or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.

    * Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of

      the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.

    * Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an 

      error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.

    * If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its

      parent directories that are added but not listed will be 

      automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.

    * bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions

      for files with only a change to their executable status.

      bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by

      Robert Collins

    * HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.

      Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.

    * Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have 

      different partial views of history.

    * Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a 

      bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.

  IMPROVEMENTS:

    * 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage

      of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster 

      branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.

    * New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.

      Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using 

      'bzr upgrade'.

    * Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by 

      Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.

    * Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo

      Niemeyer.

    * 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.

      Patch from Heikki Paajanen.

    * Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'

      and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those 

      merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed

      in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.

    * 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.

    * Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,

      dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by

      Gustavo Niemeyer.

    * 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.

      Contributed by Robert Collins.

    * 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,

      indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo

      Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.

  INTERNALS:

    * Test case failures have the exception printed after the log 

      for your viewing pleasure.

    * InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the

      concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.

    * Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a 

      bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise

      handling of such circumstances.

  TESTING:

    * Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after 

      bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.

    * 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids

      of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'

bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fixed "branch -r" option.

    * Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.

      (Robert Collins).

    * Better reliability of http server tests.  (John Arbash-Meinel)

    * Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix.  (Aaron Bentley)

    * Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the

      test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.

  IMPROVEMENTS:

    * Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen

      revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.

    * Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead

      there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.

      For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will

      select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

      Robey Pointer

    * There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on 

      Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.

  INTERNALS:

    * Removed uuid() as it was unused.

    * Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into

      another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20

  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.
