5
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
10
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
13
tree. (Robert Collins)
15
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
16
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
17
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
22
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
24
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
28
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
29
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
31
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
35
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
36
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
38
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
39
function. (Robert Collins)
41
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
42
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
43
if needed). (Robert Collins)
45
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
46
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
48
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
49
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
50
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
51
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
52
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
53
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
54
version. (Robert Collins)
56
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
57
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
59
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
60
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
61
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
62
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
63
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
64
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
70
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
74
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
78
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
79
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
80
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
82
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
83
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
86
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
87
has been added that suppresses all output.
89
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
92
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
95
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
96
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
98
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
99
a revision. (Robert Collins)
101
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
102
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
103
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
104
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
106
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
108
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
109
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
111
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
112
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
114
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
115
output directory, if one was supplied.
117
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
118
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
119
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
120
parameters. (Robert Collins)
122
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
124
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
125
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
127
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
128
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
129
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
131
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
132
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
134
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
137
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
139
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
143
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
144
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
145
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
147
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
148
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
149
related questions. (Robert Collins)
151
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
152
is given. (Martin Pool)
154
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
155
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
156
file. (Robert Collins)
158
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
163
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
164
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
165
representation. (Martin Pool).
167
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
168
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
169
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
171
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
174
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
175
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
178
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
179
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
180
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
181
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
182
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
184
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
185
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
186
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
187
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
188
python path. (Robert Collins)
190
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
191
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
192
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
193
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
195
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
196
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
198
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
199
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
202
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
203
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
204
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
206
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
207
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
208
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
210
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
211
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
213
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
214
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
215
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
218
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
219
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
220
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
221
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
224
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
227
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
228
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
231
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
232
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
233
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
235
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
236
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
237
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
239
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
240
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
241
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
243
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
244
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
246
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
247
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
248
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
249
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
250
caller. (Robert Collins)
252
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
253
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
256
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
257
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
259
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
261
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
262
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
266
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
267
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
269
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
270
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
277
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
278
allow directories to be listed.
280
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
281
upgrading branch format.
285
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
292
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
293
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
294
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
295
high-latency connections.
299
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
302
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
303
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
305
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
306
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
307
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
308
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
310
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
311
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
313
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
314
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
316
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
317
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
318
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
320
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
321
for files with only a change to their executable status.
322
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
325
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
326
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
328
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
329
different partial views of history.
331
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
332
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
337
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
338
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
339
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
341
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
342
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
345
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
346
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
348
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
351
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
352
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
354
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
355
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
356
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
357
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
359
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
361
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
362
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
365
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
366
Contributed by Robert Collins.
368
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
369
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
370
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
375
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
376
for your viewing pleasure.
378
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
379
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
381
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
382
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
383
handling of such circumstances.
388
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
389
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
391
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
392
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
399
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
401
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
404
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
406
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
408
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
409
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
413
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
414
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
416
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
417
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
418
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
419
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
422
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
423
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
427
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
429
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
430
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
437
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
438
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
439
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
440
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
443
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
446
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
447
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
448
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
449
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
450
for the operating system is still tried.
452
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
453
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
454
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
459
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
463
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
465
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
468
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
474
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
476
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
483
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
484
help with intelligent shell completion.
486
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
491
* Much better merge support.
493
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
494
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
500
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
501
mention revisions that are not present.
503
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
505
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
507
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
508
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
513
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
515
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
516
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
522
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
523
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
532
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
533
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
535
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
537
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
538
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
540
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
543
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
545
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
548
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
549
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
551
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
552
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
553
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
558
* Faster working tree operations.
563
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
564
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
565
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
566
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
568
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
569
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
570
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
571
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
572
standard plugins directory.
574
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
575
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
576
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
577
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
579
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
580
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
582
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
585
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
586
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
587
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
589
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
590
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
592
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
593
line options must come before the command name because they
594
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
595
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
598
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
600
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
601
is available with ``--short``.
606
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
613
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
614
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
616
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
617
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
618
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
619
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
621
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
622
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
623
with the ``--forward`` option.
625
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
626
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
632
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
633
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
635
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
637
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
638
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
640
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
642
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
643
either read or write mode.
645
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
647
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
650
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
652
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
653
suggested by LarstiQ.
655
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
656
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
658
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
661
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
662
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
664
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
665
haven't changed since the previous time.
667
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
668
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
670
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
672
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
674
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
675
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
677
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
678
options through to an external GNU diff.
680
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
683
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
689
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
690
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
692
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
698
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
699
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
702
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
703
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
705
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
706
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
708
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
709
under a different version.
711
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
716
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
718
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
721
* Better help messages for many commands.
723
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
724
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
726
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
727
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
729
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
731
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
733
* New AtomicFile class.
735
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
740
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
741
2.4 is now only recommended.
748
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
749
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
