5
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6
convention. Paths now take the form:
7
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
14
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
15
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
16
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
18
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
19
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
20
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
21
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
23
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
24
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
27
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
29
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
31
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
32
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
33
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
34
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
37
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
39
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
40
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
41
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
44
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
46
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
48
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
51
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
52
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
54
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
55
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
58
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
59
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
62
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
64
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
66
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
67
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
69
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
70
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
71
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
72
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. (Olaf Conradi)
74
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
75
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
78
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
79
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
83
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
84
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
86
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
88
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
90
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
95
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
96
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
97
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
98
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
100
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
101
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
104
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
107
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
109
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
110
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
111
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
113
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
114
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
116
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
117
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
118
paths. (Robert Collins)
120
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
121
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
122
needs. (Robert Collins)
124
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
125
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
126
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
128
* Progress bars are now nested - see
129
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
131
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
134
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
137
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
141
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
142
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
144
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
145
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
146
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
147
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
149
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
150
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
151
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
152
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
153
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
155
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
156
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
157
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
159
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
161
bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
165
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
166
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
168
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
169
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
170
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
173
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
174
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
176
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
177
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
178
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
179
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
182
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
183
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
184
used. (Robert Collins)
186
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
187
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
190
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
191
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
192
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
194
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
197
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
198
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
202
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
203
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
205
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
207
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
209
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
210
tree. (Robert Collins)
212
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
213
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
214
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
217
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
220
* Tweaks to short log printing
222
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
225
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
226
occurs. (Martin Pool)
228
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
229
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
231
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
232
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
234
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
235
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
236
settings. (Magnus Therning)
238
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
239
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
241
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
242
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
245
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
246
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
248
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
249
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
251
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
252
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
254
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
257
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
258
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
260
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
261
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
263
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
264
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
265
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
269
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
271
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
273
* Error when run with -OO
275
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
278
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
280
* Change status to 3 for all errors
282
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
283
ignored by diff and status
285
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
286
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
288
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
290
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
292
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
293
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
295
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
296
email address. (Marien Zwart)
298
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
301
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
302
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
304
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
306
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
307
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
309
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
312
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
315
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
319
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
320
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
322
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
324
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
326
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
328
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
329
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
330
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
332
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
334
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
337
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
339
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
340
If adding a new test script please add that to
341
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
343
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
344
imported. (Martin Pool)
346
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
347
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
348
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
349
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
350
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
353
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
354
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
355
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
357
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
358
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
359
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
361
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
362
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
363
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
364
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
365
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
368
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
369
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
374
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
375
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
377
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
378
function. (Robert Collins)
380
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
381
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
382
if needed). (Robert Collins)
384
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
385
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
387
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
388
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
389
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
390
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
391
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
392
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
393
version. (Robert Collins)
395
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
396
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
398
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
399
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
400
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
401
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
402
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
403
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
405
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
408
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
416
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
418
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
420
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
423
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
424
query method. (Robert Collins)
426
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
429
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
432
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
436
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
437
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
438
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
439
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
441
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
442
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
443
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
444
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
446
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
447
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
453
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
456
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
460
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
461
a separator, not ':'.
464
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
465
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
466
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
468
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
469
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
472
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
473
has been added that suppresses all output.
475
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
478
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
481
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
482
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
484
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
485
a revision. (Robert Collins)
487
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
488
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
489
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
490
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
492
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
494
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
495
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
497
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
498
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
500
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
501
output directory, if one was supplied.
503
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
504
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
505
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
506
parameters. (Robert Collins)
508
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
510
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
511
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
513
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
514
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
515
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
517
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
518
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
520
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
523
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
525
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
529
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
530
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
531
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
533
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
534
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
535
related questions. (Robert Collins)
537
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
538
is given. (Martin Pool)
540
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
541
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
542
file. (Robert Collins)
544
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
549
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
550
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
551
representation. (Martin Pool).
553
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
554
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
555
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
557
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
560
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
561
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
564
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
565
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
566
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
567
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
568
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
570
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
571
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
572
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
573
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
574
python path. (Robert Collins)
576
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
577
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
578
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
579
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
581
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
582
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
584
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
585
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
588
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
589
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
590
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
592
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
593
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
594
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
596
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
597
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
599
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
600
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
601
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
604
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
605
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
606
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
607
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
610
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
613
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
614
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
617
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
618
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
619
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
621
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
622
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
623
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
625
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
626
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
627
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
629
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
630
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
632
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
633
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
634
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
635
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
636
caller. (Robert Collins)
638
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
639
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
642
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
643
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
645
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
647
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
648
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
652
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
653
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
655
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
656
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
663
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
664
allow directories to be listed.
666
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
667
upgrading branch format.
671
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
678
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
679
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
680
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
681
high-latency connections.
685
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
688
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
689
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
691
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
692
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
693
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
694
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
696
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
697
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
699
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
700
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
702
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
703
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
704
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
706
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
707
for files with only a change to their executable status.
708
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
711
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
712
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
714
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
715
different partial views of history.
717
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
718
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
723
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
724
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
725
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
727
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
728
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
731
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
732
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
734
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
737
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
738
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
740
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
741
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
742
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
743
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
745
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
747
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
748
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
751
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
752
Contributed by Robert Collins.
754
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
755
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
756
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
761
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
762
for your viewing pleasure.
764
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
765
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
767
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
768
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
769
handling of such circumstances.
774
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
775
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
777
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
778
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
785
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
787
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
790
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
792
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
794
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
795
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
799
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
800
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
802
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
803
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
804
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
805
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
808
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
809
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
813
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
815
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
816
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
823
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
824
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
825
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
826
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
829
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
832
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
833
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
834
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
835
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
836
for the operating system is still tried.
838
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
839
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
840
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
845
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
849
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
851
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
854
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
860
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
862
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
869
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
870
help with intelligent shell completion.
872
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
877
* Much better merge support.
879
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
880
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
886
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
887
mention revisions that are not present.
889
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
891
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
893
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
894
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
899
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
901
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
902
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
908
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
909
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
918
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
919
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
921
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
923
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
924
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
926
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
929
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
931
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
934
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
935
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
937
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
938
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
939
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
944
* Faster working tree operations.
949
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
950
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
951
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
952
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
954
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
955
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
956
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
957
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
958
standard plugins directory.
960
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
961
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
962
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
963
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
965
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
966
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
968
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
971
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
972
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
973
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
975
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
976
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
978
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
979
line options must come before the command name because they
980
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
981
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
984
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
986
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
987
is available with ``--short``.
992
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
999
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1000
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1002
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1003
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1004
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1005
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1007
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1008
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1009
with the ``--forward`` option.
1011
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1012
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
1018
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
1019
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
1021
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
1023
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
1024
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
1026
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1028
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
1029
either read or write mode.
1031
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
1033
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
1036
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
1038
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
1039
suggested by LarstiQ.
1041
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1042
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1044
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1047
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1048
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1050
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1051
haven't changed since the previous time.
1053
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1054
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1056
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1058
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1060
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1061
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1063
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1064
options through to an external GNU diff.
1066
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1069
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1075
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1076
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1078
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1084
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1085
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1088
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1089
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1091
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1092
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1094
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1095
under a different version.
1097
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1102
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1104
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1105
Scott James Remnant.
1107
* Better help messages for many commands.
1109
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1110
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1112
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1113
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1115
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1117
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1119
* New AtomicFile class.
1121
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1126
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1127
2.4 is now only recommended.
1130
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1134
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1135
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1137
* More default ignore patterns.
1139
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1140
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1142
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1144
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1147
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1152
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1153
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1154
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1155
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1156
there are DNS problems.
1158
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1163
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1165
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1167
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1168
trailing newlines properly.
1173
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1176
* More tests in test.sh.
1178
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1179
directory and delete it when done.
1181
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1186
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1189
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1193
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1197
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1200
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1202
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1205
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1208
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1210
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1214
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1215
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1220
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1221
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1226
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1230
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1237
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
1240
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
1244
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
1246
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
1247
rather than replacing it.
1249
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
1253
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
1256
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
1257
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
1259
* Performance improvements.
1261
* New global --profile option.
1263
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
1264
the root directory only.
1267
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
1271
* More information from info command.
1273
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
1275
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
1276
committing to stores.
1278
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
1282
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
1286
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
1287
installation easier.
1289
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
1293
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
1297
* First public release.
