6
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
17
* The --pattern option has been removed, now test specifiers on the
18
command line can be simple strings, or regexps, or both.
20
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
21
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
29
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
30
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
31
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
32
high-latency connections.
36
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
39
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
40
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
42
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
43
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
44
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
45
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
47
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
48
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
50
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
51
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
53
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
54
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
55
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
57
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
58
for files with only a change to their executable status.
59
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
62
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
63
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
65
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
66
different partial views of history.
68
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
69
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
74
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
75
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
76
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
78
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
79
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
82
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
83
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
85
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
88
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
89
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
91
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
92
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
93
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
94
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
96
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
98
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
99
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
102
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
103
Contributed by Robert Collins.
105
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
106
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
107
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
112
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
113
for your viewing pleasure.
115
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
116
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
118
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
119
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
120
handling of such circumstances.
125
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
126
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
128
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
129
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
136
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
138
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
141
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
143
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
145
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
146
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
150
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
151
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
153
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
154
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
155
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
156
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
159
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
160
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
164
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
166
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
167
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
174
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
175
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
176
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
177
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
180
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
183
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
184
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
185
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
186
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
187
for the operating system is still tried.
189
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
190
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
191
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
196
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
200
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
202
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
205
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
211
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
213
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
220
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
221
help with intelligent shell completion.
223
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
228
* Much better merge support.
230
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
231
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
237
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
238
mention revisions that are not present.
240
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
242
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
244
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
245
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
250
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
252
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
253
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
259
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
260
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
269
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
270
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
272
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
274
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
275
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
277
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
280
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
282
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
285
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
286
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
288
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
289
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
290
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
295
* Faster working tree operations.
300
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
301
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
302
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
303
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
305
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
306
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
307
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
308
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
309
standard plugins directory.
311
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
312
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
313
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
314
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
316
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
317
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
319
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
322
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
323
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
324
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
326
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
327
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
329
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
330
line options must come before the command name because they
331
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
332
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
335
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
337
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
338
is available with ``--short``.
343
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
350
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
351
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
353
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
354
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
355
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
356
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
358
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
359
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
360
with the ``--forward`` option.
362
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
363
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
369
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
370
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
372
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
374
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
375
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
377
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
379
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
380
either read or write mode.
382
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
384
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
387
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
389
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
390
suggested by LarstiQ.
392
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
393
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
395
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
398
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
399
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
401
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
402
haven't changed since the previous time.
404
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
405
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
407
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
409
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
411
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
412
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
414
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
415
options through to an external GNU diff.
417
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
420
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
426
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
427
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
429
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
435
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
436
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
439
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
440
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
442
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
443
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
445
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
446
under a different version.
448
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
453
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
455
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
458
* Better help messages for many commands.
460
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
461
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
463
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
464
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
466
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
468
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
470
* New AtomicFile class.
472
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
477
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
478
2.4 is now only recommended.
485
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
486
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
488
* More default ignore patterns.
490
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
491
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
493
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
495
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
498
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
503
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
504
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
505
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
506
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
507
there are DNS problems.
509
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
514
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
516
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
518
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
519
trailing newlines properly.
524
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
527
* More tests in test.sh.
529
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
530
directory and delete it when done.
532
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
537
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
540
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
548
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
551
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
553
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
556
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
559
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
561
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
565
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
566
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
571
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
572
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
577
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
581
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
588
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
591
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
595
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
597
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
598
rather than replacing it.
600
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
604
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
607
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
608
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
610
* Performance improvements.
612
* New global --profile option.
614
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
615
the root directory only.
622
* More information from info command.
624
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
626
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
627
committing to stores.
629
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
633
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
637
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
640
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
644
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
