* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
11
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
14
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
15
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
16
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
17
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
18
for the operating system is still tried.
20
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
21
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
22
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
27
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
32
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
34
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
37
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
43
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
45
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
52
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
53
help with intelligent shell completion.
55
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
60
* Much better merge support.
62
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
63
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
69
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
70
mention revisions that are not present.
72
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
74
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
76
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
77
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
82
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
84
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
85
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
91
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
92
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
101
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
102
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
104
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
106
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
107
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
109
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
112
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
114
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
117
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
118
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
120
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
121
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
122
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
127
* Faster working tree operations.
132
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
133
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
134
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
135
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
137
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
138
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
139
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
140
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
141
standard plugins directory.
143
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
144
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
145
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
146
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
148
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
149
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
151
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
154
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
155
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
156
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
158
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
159
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
161
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
162
line options must come before the command name because they
163
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
164
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
167
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
169
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
170
is available with ``--short``.
175
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
182
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
183
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
185
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
186
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
187
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
188
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
190
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
191
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
192
with the ``--forward`` option.
194
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
195
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
201
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
202
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
204
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
206
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
207
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
209
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
211
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
212
either read or write mode.
214
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
216
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
219
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
221
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
222
suggested by LarstiQ.
224
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
225
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
227
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
230
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
231
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
233
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
234
haven't changed since the previous time.
236
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
237
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
239
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
241
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
243
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
244
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
246
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
247
options through to an external GNU diff.
249
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
252
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
258
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
259
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
261
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
267
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
268
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
271
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
272
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
274
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
275
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
277
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
278
under a different version.
280
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
285
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
287
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
290
* Better help messages for many commands.
292
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
293
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
295
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
296
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
298
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
300
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
302
* New AtomicFile class.
304
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
309
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
310
2.4 is now only recommended.
317
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
318
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
320
* More default ignore patterns.
322
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
323
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
325
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
327
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
330
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
335
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
336
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
337
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
338
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
339
there are DNS problems.
341
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
346
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
348
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
350
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
351
trailing newlines properly.
356
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
359
* More tests in test.sh.
361
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
362
directory and delete it when done.
364
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
369
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
372
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
380
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
383
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
385
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
388
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
391
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
393
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
397
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
398
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
403
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
404
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
409
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
413
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
420
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
423
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
427
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
429
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
430
rather than replacing it.
432
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
436
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
439
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
440
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
442
* Performance improvements.
444
* New global --profile option.
446
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
447
the root directory only.
454
* More information from info command.
456
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
458
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
459
committing to stores.
461
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
465
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
469
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
472
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
476
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
480
* First public release.
