1
For 0.7 (temporary section)
5
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
10
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
14
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
15
to allow Branch only pulls.
17
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
20
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
21
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
24
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
25
to respectively, get and set the push location.
32
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
36
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
40
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
41
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
42
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
44
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
45
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
48
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
49
has been added that suppresses all output.
51
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
54
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
57
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
58
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
60
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
61
a revision. (Robert Collins)
63
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
64
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
65
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
66
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
68
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
70
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
71
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
73
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
74
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
76
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
77
output directory, if one was supplied.
79
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
81
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
82
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
83
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
84
parameters. (Robert Collins)
86
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
88
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
89
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
91
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
92
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
93
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
95
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
96
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
98
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
101
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
105
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
106
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
107
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
109
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
110
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
111
related questions. (Robert Collins)
113
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
114
is given. (Martin Pool)
116
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
117
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
118
file. (Robert Collins)
120
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
125
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
126
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
127
representation. (Martin Pool).
129
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
130
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
131
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
133
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
136
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
137
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
140
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
141
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
142
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
143
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
144
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
146
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
147
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
148
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
149
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
150
python path. (Robert Collins)
152
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
153
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
154
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
155
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
157
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
158
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
160
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
161
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
164
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
165
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
166
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
168
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
169
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
170
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
172
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
173
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
175
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
176
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
177
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
180
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
181
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
182
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
183
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
186
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
189
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
190
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
193
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
194
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
195
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
197
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
198
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
199
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
201
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
202
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
203
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
205
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
206
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
208
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
209
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
210
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
211
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
212
caller. (Robert Collins)
214
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
215
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
218
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
219
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
221
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
223
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
224
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
228
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
229
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
231
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
232
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
239
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
240
allow directories to be listed.
242
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
243
upgrading branch format.
247
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
254
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
255
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
256
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
257
high-latency connections.
261
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
264
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
265
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
267
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
268
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
269
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
270
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
272
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
273
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
275
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
276
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
278
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
279
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
280
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
282
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
283
for files with only a change to their executable status.
284
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
287
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
288
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
290
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
291
different partial views of history.
293
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
294
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
299
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
300
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
301
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
303
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
304
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
307
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
308
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
310
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
313
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
314
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
316
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
317
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
318
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
319
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
321
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
323
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
324
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
327
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
328
Contributed by Robert Collins.
330
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
331
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
332
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
337
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
338
for your viewing pleasure.
340
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
341
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
343
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
344
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
345
handling of such circumstances.
350
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
351
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
353
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
354
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
361
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
363
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
366
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
368
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
370
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
371
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
375
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
376
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
378
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
379
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
380
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
381
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
384
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
385
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
389
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
391
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
392
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
399
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
400
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
401
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
402
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
405
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
408
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
409
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
410
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
411
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
412
for the operating system is still tried.
414
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
415
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
416
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
421
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
425
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
427
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
430
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
436
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
438
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
445
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
446
help with intelligent shell completion.
448
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
453
* Much better merge support.
455
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
456
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
462
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
463
mention revisions that are not present.
465
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
467
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
469
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
470
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
475
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
477
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
478
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
484
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
485
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
494
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
495
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
497
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
499
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
500
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
502
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
505
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
507
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
510
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
511
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
513
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
514
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
515
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
520
* Faster working tree operations.
525
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
526
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
527
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
528
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
530
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
531
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
532
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
533
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
534
standard plugins directory.
536
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
537
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
538
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
539
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
541
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
542
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
544
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
547
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
548
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
549
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
551
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
552
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
554
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
555
line options must come before the command name because they
556
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
557
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
560
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
562
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
563
is available with ``--short``.
568
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
575
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
576
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
578
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
579
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
580
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
581
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
583
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
584
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
585
with the ``--forward`` option.
587
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
588
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
594
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
595
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
597
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
599
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
600
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
602
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
604
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
605
either read or write mode.
607
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
609
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
612
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
614
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
615
suggested by LarstiQ.
617
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
618
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
620
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
623
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
624
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
626
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
627
haven't changed since the previous time.
629
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
630
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
632
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
634
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
636
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
637
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
639
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
640
options through to an external GNU diff.
642
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
645
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
651
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
652
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
654
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
660
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
661
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
664
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
665
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
667
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
668
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
670
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
671
under a different version.
673
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
678
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
680
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
683
* Better help messages for many commands.
685
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
686
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
688
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
689
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
691
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
693
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
695
* New AtomicFile class.
697
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
702
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
703
2.4 is now only recommended.
710
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
711
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
713
* More default ignore patterns.
715
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
716
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
718
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
720
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
723
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
728
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
729
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
730
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
731
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
732
there are DNS problems.
734
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
739
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
741
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
743
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
744
trailing newlines properly.
749
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
752
* More tests in test.sh.
754
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
755
directory and delete it when done.
757
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
762
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
765
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
773
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
776
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
778
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
781
