* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
13
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
14
has been added that suppresses all output.
16
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
19
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
22
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
23
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
25
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
26
a revision. (Robert Collins)
28
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
29
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
30
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
31
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
33
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
37
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
38
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
39
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
41
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
42
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
43
related questions. (Robert Collins)
45
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one feels, unless '--one'
46
is given. (Martin Pool)
50
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
51
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
52
representation. (Martin Pool).
54
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
55
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
56
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
58
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
61
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
62
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
65
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
66
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
67
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
68
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
69
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
71
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
72
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
73
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
74
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
75
python path. (Robert Collins)
77
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
78
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
79
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
80
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
82
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
83
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
85
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
86
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
89
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
90
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
91
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
93
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
94
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
95
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
97
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
98
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
102
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
103
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
109
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
110
allow directories to be listed.
112
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
113
upgrading branch format.
117
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
124
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
125
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
126
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
127
high-latency connections.
131
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
134
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
135
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
137
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
138
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
139
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
140
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
142
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
143
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
145
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
146
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
148
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
149
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
150
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
152
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
153
for files with only a change to their executable status.
154
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
157
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
158
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
160
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
161
different partial views of history.
163
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
164
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
169
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
170
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
171
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
173
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
174
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
177
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
178
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
180
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
183
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
184
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
186
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
187
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
188
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
189
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
191
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
193
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
194
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
197
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
198
Contributed by Robert Collins.
200
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
201
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
202
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
207
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
208
for your viewing pleasure.
210
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
211
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
213
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
214
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
215
handling of such circumstances.
220
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
221
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
223
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
224
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
231
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
233
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
236
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
238
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
240
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
241
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
245
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
246
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
248
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
249
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
250
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
251
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
254
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
255
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
259
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
261
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
262
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
269
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
270
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
271
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
272
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
275
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
278
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
279
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
280
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
281
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
282
for the operating system is still tried.
284
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
285
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
286
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
291
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
295
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
297
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
300
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
306
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
308
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
315
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
316
help with intelligent shell completion.
318
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
323
* Much better merge support.
325
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
326
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
332
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
333
mention revisions that are not present.
335
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
337
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
339
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
340
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
345
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
347
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
348
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
354
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
355
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
364
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
365
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
367
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
369
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
370
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
372
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
375
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
377
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
380
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
381
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
383
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
384
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
385
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
390
* Faster working tree operations.
395
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
396
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
397
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
398
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
400
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
401
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
402
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
403
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
404
standard plugins directory.
406
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
407
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
408
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
409
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
411
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
412
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
414
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
417
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
418
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
419
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
421
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
422
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
424
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
425
line options must come before the command name because they
426
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
427
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
430
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
432
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
433
is available with ``--short``.
438
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
445
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
446
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
448
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
449
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
450
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
451
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
453
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
454
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
455
with the ``--forward`` option.
457
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
458
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
464
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
465
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
467
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
469
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
470
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
472
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
474
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
475
either read or write mode.
477
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
479
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
482
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
484
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
485
suggested by LarstiQ.
487
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
488
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
490
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
493
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
494
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
496
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
497
haven't changed since the previous time.
499
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
500
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
502
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
504
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
506
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
507
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
509
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
510
options through to an external GNU diff.
512
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
515
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
521
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
522
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
524
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
530
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
531
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
534
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
535
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
537
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
538
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
540
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
541
under a different version.
543
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
548
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
550
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
553
* Better help messages for many commands.
555
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
556
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
558
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
559
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
561
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
563
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
565
* New AtomicFile class.
567
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
572
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
573
2.4 is now only recommended.
580
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
581
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
583
* More default ignore patterns.
585
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
586
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
588
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
590
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
593
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
598
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
599
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
600
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
601
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
602
there are DNS problems.
604
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
609
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
611
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
613
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
614
trailing newlines properly.
619
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
622
* More tests in test.sh.
624
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
625
directory and delete it when done.
627
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
632
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
635
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
643
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
646
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
648
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
651
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
654
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
656
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
660
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
661
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
666
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
667
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
672
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
676
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
683
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
686
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
690
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
692
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
693
rather than replacing it.
695
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
699
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
702
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
703
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
705
* Performance improvements.
707
* New global --profile option.
709
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
710
the root directory only.
717
* More information from info command.
719
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
721
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
722
committing to stores.
724
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
728
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
732
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
735
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
739
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
