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
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
45
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
47
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
50
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
51
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
53
* pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
57
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
58
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
59
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
60
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
62
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
64
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
65
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
66
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
68
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
69
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
71
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
72
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
73
paths. (Robert Collins)
75
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
76
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
77
needs. (Robert Collins)
81
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
82
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
84
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
85
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
86
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
87
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
89
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
90
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
91
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
92
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
93
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
100
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
101
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
103
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
104
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
105
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
108
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
109
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
111
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
112
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
113
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
114
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
117
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
118
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
119
used. (Robert Collins)
121
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
122
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
125
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
126
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
127
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
129
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
132
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
133
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
137
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
138
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
140
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
142
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
144
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
145
tree. (Robert Collins)
147
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
148
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
149
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
152
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
155
* Tweaks to short log printing
157
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
160
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
161
occurs. (Martin Pool)
163
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
164
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
166
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
167
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
169
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
170
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
171
settings. (Magnus Therning)
173
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
174
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
176
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
177
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
180
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
181
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
183
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
184
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
186
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
187
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
189
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
192
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
193
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
195
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
196
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
198
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
199
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
200
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
204
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
206
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
208
* Error when run with -OO
210
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
213
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
215
* Change status to 3 for all errors
217
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
218
ignored by diff and status
220
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
221
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
223
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
225
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
227
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
228
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
230
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
231
email address. (Marien Zwart)
233
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
236
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
237
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
239
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
241
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
242
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
244
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
247
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
250
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
254
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
255
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
257
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
259
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
261
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
263
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
264
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
265
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
267
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
269
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
272
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
274
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
275
If adding a new test script please add that to
276
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
278
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
279
imported. (Martin Pool)
281
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
282
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
283
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
284
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
285
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
288
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
289
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
290
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
292
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
293
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
294
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
296
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
297
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
298
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
299
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
300
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
303
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
304
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
309
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
310
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
312
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
313
function. (Robert Collins)
315
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
316
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
317
if needed). (Robert Collins)
319
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
320
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
322
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
323
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
324
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
325
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
326
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
327
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
328
version. (Robert Collins)
330
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
331
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
333
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
334
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
335
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
336
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
337
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
338
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
340
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
343
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
351
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
353
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
355
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
358
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
359
query method. (Robert Collins)
361
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
364
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
367
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
371
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
372
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
373
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
374
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
376
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
377
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
378
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
379
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
381
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
382
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
388
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
391
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
395
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
396
a separator, not ':'.
399
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
400
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
401
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
403
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
404
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
407
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
408
has been added that suppresses all output.
410
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
413
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
416
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
417
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
419
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
420
a revision. (Robert Collins)
422
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
423
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
424
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
425
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
427
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
429
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
430
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
432
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
433
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
435
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
436
output directory, if one was supplied.
438
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
439
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
440
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
441
parameters. (Robert Collins)
443
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
445
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
446
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
448
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
449
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
450
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
452
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
453
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
455
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
458
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
460
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
464
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
465
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
466
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
468
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
469
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
470
related questions. (Robert Collins)
472
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
473
is given. (Martin Pool)
475
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
476
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
477
file. (Robert Collins)
479
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
484
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
485
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
486
representation. (Martin Pool).
488
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
489
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
490
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
492
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
495
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
496
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
499
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
500
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
501
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
502
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
503
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
505
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
506
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
507
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
508
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
509
python path. (Robert Collins)
511
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
512
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
513
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
514
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
516
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
517
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
519
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
520
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
523
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
524
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
525
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
527
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
528
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
529
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
531
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
532
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
534
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
535
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
536
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
539
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
540
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
541
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
542
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
545
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
548
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
549
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
552
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
553
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
554
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
556
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
557
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
558
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
560
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
561
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
562
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
564
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
565
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
567
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
568
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
569
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
570
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
571
caller. (Robert Collins)
573
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
574
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
577
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
578
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
580
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
582
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
583
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
587
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
588
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
590
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
591
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
598
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
599
allow directories to be listed.
601
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
602
upgrading branch format.
606
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
613
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
614
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
615
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
616
high-latency connections.
620
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
623
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
624
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
626
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
627
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
628
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
629
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
631
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
632
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
634
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
635
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
637
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
638
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
639
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
641
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
642
for files with only a change to their executable status.
643
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
646
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
647
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
649
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
650
different partial views of history.
652
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
653
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
658
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
659
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster

branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
662
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
663
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
666
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
667
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
669
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
672
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
673
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
675
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
676
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
677
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
678
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
680
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
682
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
683
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
686
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
687
Contributed by Robert Collins.
689
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
690
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
691
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
696
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
697
for your viewing pleasure.
699
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
700
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
702
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
703
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
704
handling of such circumstances.
709
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
710
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
712
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
713
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
720
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
722
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
725
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
727
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
729
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
730
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
734
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
735
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
737
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
738
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
739
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
740
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
743
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
744
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
748
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
750
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
751
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
758
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
759
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
760
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
761
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
764
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
767
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
768
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
769
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
770
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
771
for the operating system is still tried.
773
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
774
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
775
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
780
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
784
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
786
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
789
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
795
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
797
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
804
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
805
help with intelligent shell completion.
807
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
812
* Much better merge support.
814
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
815
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
821
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
822
mention revisions that are not present.
824
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
826
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
828
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
829
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
834
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
836
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
837
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
843
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
844
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
853
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
854
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
856
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
858
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
859
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
861
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
864
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
866
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
869
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
870
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
872
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
873
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
874
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
879
* Faster working tree operations.
884
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
885
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
886
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
887
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
889
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
890
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
891
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
892
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
893
standard plugins directory.
895
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
896
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
897
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
898
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
900
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
901
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
903
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
906
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
907
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
908
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
910
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
911
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
913
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
914
line options must come before the command name because they
915
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
916
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
919
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
921
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
922
is available with ``--short``.
927
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
934
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
935
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
937
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
938
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
939
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
940
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
942
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
943
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
944
with the ``--forward`` option.
946
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
947
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
953
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
954
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
956
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
958
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
959
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
961
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
963
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
964
either read or write mode.
966
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
968
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
971
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
973
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
974
suggested by LarstiQ.
976
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
977
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
979
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
982
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
983
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
985
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
986
haven't changed since the previous time.
988
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
989
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
991
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
993
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
995
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
996
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
998
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
999
options through to an external GNU diff.
1001
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1004
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1010
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1011
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1013
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1019
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1020
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1023
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1024
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1026
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1027
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1029
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1030
under a different version.
1032
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1037
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1039
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1040
Scott James Remnant.
1042
* Better help messages for many commands.
1044
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1045
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1047
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1048
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1050
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1052
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1054
* New AtomicFile class.
1056
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1061
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1062
2.4 is now only recommended.
1065
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1069
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1070
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1072
* More default ignore patterns.
1074
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1075
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1077
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1079
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1082
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1087
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1088
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1089
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1090
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1091
there are DNS problems.
1093
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1098
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1100
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1102
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1103
trailing newlines properly.
1108
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1111
* More tests in test.sh.
1113
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1114
directory and delete it when done.
1116
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1121
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1124
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1128
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1132
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1135
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1137
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1140
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1143
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1145
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1149
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1150
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1155
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1156
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1161
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1165
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1172
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
1175
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
1179
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
1181
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
1182
rather than replacing it.
1184
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
1188
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
1191
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
1192
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
1194
* Performance improvements.
1196
* New global --profile option.
1198
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
1199
the root directory only.
1202
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
1206
* More information from info command.
1208
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
1210
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
1211
committing to stores.
1213
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
1217
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
1221
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
1222
installation easier.
1224
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
1228
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
1232
* First public release.
1234
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
