5
* Status now accepted a -r argument to give status between chosen
6
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
8
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
10
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
11
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
14
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
15
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
17
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
18
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
23
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
24
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
28
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
30
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
31
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
38
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
39
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
40
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
41
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
44
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
47
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
48
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
49
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
50
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
51
for the operating system is still tried.
53
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
54
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
55
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
60
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
64
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
66
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
69
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
75
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
77
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
84
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
85
help with intelligent shell completion.
87
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
92
* Much better merge support.
94
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
95
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
101
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
102
mention revisions that are not present.
104
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
106
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
108
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
109
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
114
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
116
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
117
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
123
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
124
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
133
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
134
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
136
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
138
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
139
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
141
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
144
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
146
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
149
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
150
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
152
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
153
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
154
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
159
* Faster working tree operations.
164
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
165
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
166
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
167
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
169
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
170
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
171
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
172
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
173
standard plugins directory.
175
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
176
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
177
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
178
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
180
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
181
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
183
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
186
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
187
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
188
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
190
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
191
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
193
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
194
line options must come before the command name because they
195
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
196
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
199
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
201
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
202
is available with ``--short``.
207
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
214
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
215
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
217
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
218
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
219
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
220
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
222
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
223
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
224
with the ``--forward`` option.
226
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
227
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
233
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
234
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
236
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
238
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
239
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
241
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
243
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
244
either read or write mode.
246
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
248
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
251
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
253
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
254
suggested by LarstiQ.
256
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
257
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
259
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
262
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
263
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
265
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
266
haven't changed since the previous time.
268
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
269
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
271
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
273
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
275
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
276
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
278
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
279
options through to an external GNU diff.
281
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
284
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
290
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
291
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
293
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
299
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
300
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
303
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
304
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
306
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
307
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
309
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
310
under a different version.
312
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
317
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
319
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
322
* Better help messages for many commands.
324
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
325
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
327
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
328
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
330
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
332
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
334
* New AtomicFile class.
336
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
341
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
342
2.4 is now only recommended.
349
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
350
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
352
* More default ignore patterns.
354
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
355
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
357
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
359
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
362
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
367
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
368
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
369
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
370
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
371
there are DNS problems.
373
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
378
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
380
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
382
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
383
trailing newlines properly.
388
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
391
* More tests in test.sh.
393
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
394
directory and delete it when done.
396
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
401
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
404
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
412
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
415
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
417
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
420
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
423
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
425
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
429
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
430
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
435
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
436
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
441
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
445
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
452
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
455
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
459
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
461
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
462
rather than replacing it.
464
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
468
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
471
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
472
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
474
* Performance improvements.
476
* New global --profile option.
478
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
479
the root directory only.
486
* More information from info command.
488
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
490
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
491
committing to stores.
493
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
497
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
501
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
504
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
508
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
