bzr development version
6
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7
convention. Paths now take the form:
8
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
13
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
15
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
16
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
17
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
19
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
20
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
21
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
22
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
24
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
25
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
28
* pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
30
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
31
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
32
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
33
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
36
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
38
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
39
behaviour. They use the existing serverless-mode and store no data
40
locally. As such they are not suitable for use except in high bandwidth
41
low latency environments like LAN's or local disk. (Robert Collins)
43
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
44
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
46
* pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
50
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
51
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
52
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
53
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
55
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
56
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
57
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
59
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
60
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
62
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
63
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
64
paths. (Robert Collins)
66
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
67
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
68
needs. (Robert Collins)
72
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
73
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
75
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
76
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
77
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
78
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
80
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
81
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
82
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
83
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
84
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
91
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
92
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
94
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
95
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
96
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
99
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
100
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
102
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
103
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
104
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
105
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
108
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
109
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
110
used. (Robert Collins)
112
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
113
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
116
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
117
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
118
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
120
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
123
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
124
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
128
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
129
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
131
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
133
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
135
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
136
tree. (Robert Collins)
138
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
139
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
140
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
143
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
146
* Tweaks to short log printing
148
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
151
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
152
occurs. (Martin Pool)
154
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
155
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
157
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
158
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
160
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
161
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
162
settings. (Magnus Therning)
164
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
165
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
167
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
168
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
171
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
172
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
174
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
175
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
177
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
178
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
180
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
183
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
184
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
186
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
187
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
189
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
190
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
191
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
195
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
197
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
199
* Error when run with -OO
201
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
204
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
206
* Change status to 3 for all errors
208
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
209
ignored by diff and status
211
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
212
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
214
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
216
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
218
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
219
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
221
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
222
email address. (Marien Zwart)
224
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
227
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
228
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
230
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
232
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
233
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
235
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
238
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
241
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
245
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
246
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
248
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
250
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
252
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
254
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
255
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
256
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
258
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
260
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
263
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
265
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
266
If adding a new test script please add that to
267
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
269
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
270
imported. (Martin Pool)
272
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
273
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
274
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
275
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
276
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
279
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
280
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
281
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
283
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
284
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
285
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
287
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
288
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
289
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
290
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
291
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
294
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
295
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
300
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
301
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
303
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
304
function. (Robert Collins)
306
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
307
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
308
if needed). (Robert Collins)
310
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
311
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
313
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
314
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
315
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
316
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
317
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
318
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
319
version. (Robert Collins)
321
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
322
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
324
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
325
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
326
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
327
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
328
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
329
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
331
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
334
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
342
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
344
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
346
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
349
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
350
query method. (Robert Collins)
352
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
355
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
358
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
362
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
363
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
364
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
365
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
367
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
368
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
369
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
370
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
372
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
373
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
379
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
382
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
386
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
387
a separator, not ':'.
390
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
391
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
392
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
394
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
395
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
398
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
399
has been added that suppresses all output.
401
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
404
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
407
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
408
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
410
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
411
a revision. (Robert Collins)
413
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
414
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
415
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
416
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
418
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
420
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
421
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
423
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
424
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
426
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
427
output directory, if one was supplied.
429
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
430
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
431
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
432
parameters. (Robert Collins)
434
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
436
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
437
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
439
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
440
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
441
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
443
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
444
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
446
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
449
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
451
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
455
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
456
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
457
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
459
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
460
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
461
related questions. (Robert Collins)
463
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
464
is given. (Martin Pool)
466
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
467
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
468
file. (Robert Collins)
470
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
475
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
476
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
477
representation. (Martin Pool).
479
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
480
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
481
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
483
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
486
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
487
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
490
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
491
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
492
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
493
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
494
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
496
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
497
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
498
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
499
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
500
python path. (Robert Collins)
502
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
503
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
504
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
505
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
507
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
508
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
510
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
511
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
514
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
515
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
516
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
518
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
519
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
520
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
522
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
523
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
525
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
526
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
527
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
530
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
531
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
532
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
533
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
536
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
539
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
540
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
543
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
544
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
545
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
547
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
548
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
549
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
551
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
552
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
553
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
555
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
556
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
558
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
559
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
560
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
561
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
562
caller. (Robert Collins)
564
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
565
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
568
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
569
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
571
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
573
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
574
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
578
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
579
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
581
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
582
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
589
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
590
allow directories to be listed.
592
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
593
upgrading branch format.
597
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
604
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
605
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
606
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
607
high-latency connections.
611
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
614
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
615
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
617
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
618
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
619
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
620
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
622
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
623
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
625
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
626
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
628
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
629
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
630
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
632
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
633
for files with only a change to their executable status.
634
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
637
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
638
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
640
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
641
different partial views of history.
643
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
644
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
649
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
650
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
651
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
653
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
654
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
657
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
658
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.

* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
663
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
664
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
666
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
667
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
668
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
669
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
671
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
673
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
674
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
677
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
678
Contributed by Robert Collins.
680
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
681
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
682
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
687
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
688
for your viewing pleasure.
690
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
691
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
693
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
694
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
695
handling of such circumstances.
700
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
701
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
703
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
704
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
711
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
713
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
716
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
718
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
720
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
721
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
725
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
726
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
728
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
729
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
730
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
731
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
734
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
735
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
739
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
741
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
742
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
749
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
750
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
751
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
752
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
755
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
758
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
759
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
760
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
761
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
762
for the operating system is still tried.
764
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
765
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
766
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
771
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
775
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
777
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
780
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
786
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
788
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
795
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
796
help with intelligent shell completion.
798
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
803
* Much better merge support.
805
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
806
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
812
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
813
mention revisions that are not present.
815
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
817
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
819
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
820
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
825
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
827
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
828
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
834
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
835
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
844
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
845
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
847
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
849
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
850
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
852
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
855
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
857
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
860
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
861
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
863
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
864
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
865
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
870
* Faster working tree operations.
875
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
876
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
877
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
878
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
880
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
881
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
882
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
883
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
884
standard plugins directory.
886
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
887
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
888
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
889
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
891
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
892
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
894
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
897
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
898
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
899
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
901
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
902
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
904
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
905
line options must come before the command name because they
906
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
907
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
910
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
912
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
913
is available with ``--short``.
918
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
925
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
926
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
928
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
929
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
930
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
931
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
933
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
934
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
935
with the ``--forward`` option.
937
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
938
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
944
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
945
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
947
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
949
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
950
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
952
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
954
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
955
either read or write mode.
957
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
959
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
962
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
964
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
965
suggested by LarstiQ.
967
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
968
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
970
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
973
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
974
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
976
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
977
haven't changed since the previous time.
979
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
980
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
982
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
984
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
986
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
987
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
989
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
990
options through to an external GNU diff.
992
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
995
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1001
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1002
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1004
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1010
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1011
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1014
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1015
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1017
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1018
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1020
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1021
under a different version.
1023
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1028
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1030
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1031
Scott James Remnant.
1033
* Better help messages for many commands.
1035
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1036
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1038
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1039
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1041
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1043
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1045
* New AtomicFile class.
1047
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1052
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1053
2.4 is now only recommended.
1056
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1060
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1061
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1063
* More default ignore patterns.
1065
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1066
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1068
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1070
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1073
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1078
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1079
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1080
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1081
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1082
there are DNS problems.
1084
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1089
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1091
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1093
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1094
trailing newlines properly.
1099
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1102
* More tests in test.sh.
1104
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1105
directory and delete it when done.
1107
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1112
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1115
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1119
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1123
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1126
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1128
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1131
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1134
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1136
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1140
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1141
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1146
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1147
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1152
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1156
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1163
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
1166
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
1170
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
1172
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
1173
rather than replacing it.
1175
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
1179
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
1182
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
1183
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
1185
* Performance improvements.
1187
* New global --profile option.
1189
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
1190
the root directory only.
1193
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
1197
* More information from info command.
1199
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
1201
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
1202
committing to stores.
1204
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
1208
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
1212
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
1213
installation easier.
1215
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
1219
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
1223
* First public release.
1225
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
