5
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
8
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
9
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
13
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
14
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
15
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
21
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
22
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
23
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
24
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
25
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
26
will keep the same format.
28
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
29
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
30
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
31
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
32
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
34
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
35
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
36
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
37
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
38
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
39
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
40
indicating the current revision of the branch.
42
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
43
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
44
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
45
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
46
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
48
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
49
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
50
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
56
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
57
convention. Paths now take the form:
58
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
60
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
62
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
63
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
65
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
66
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
67
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
69
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
70
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
71
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
72
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
74
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
75
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
78
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
80
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
82
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
83
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
84
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
85
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
88
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
90
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
91
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
92
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
95
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
97
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
99
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
102
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
103
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
105
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
106
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
109
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
110
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
113
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
115
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
117
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
118
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
120
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
121
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
122
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
123
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
124
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
125
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
127
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
129
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
130
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
133
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
134
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
136
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
137
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
139
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
141
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
142
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
143
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
144
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
145
specification by Martin Pool.
146
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, John Rydberg, Martin Pool).
148
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
151
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
152
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
154
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
155
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
156
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
158
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
160
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
162
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
163
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
168
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
169
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
171
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
173
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
175
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
178
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
179
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
180
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
181
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
185
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
186
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
187
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
188
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
190
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
191
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
194
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
197
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
199
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
200
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
201
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
203
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
204
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
206
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
207
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
208
paths. (Robert Collins)
210
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
211
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
212
needs. (Robert Collins)
214
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
215
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
216
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
218
* Progress bars are now nested - see
219
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
221
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
224
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
227
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
229
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
231
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
232
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
233
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
236
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
237
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
239
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
240
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
241
check. (Robert Collins)
243
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
244
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
248
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
249
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
251
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
252
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
253
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
254
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
256
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
257
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
258
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
259
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
260
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
262
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
263
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
264
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
266
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
268
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
269
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
275
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
276
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
278
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
279
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
280
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
283
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
284
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
286
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
287
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
288
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
289
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
292
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
293
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
294
used. (Robert Collins)
296
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
297
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
300
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
301
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
302
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
304
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
307
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
308
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
312
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
313
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
315
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
317
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
319
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
320
tree. (Robert Collins)
322
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
323
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
324
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
327
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
330
* Tweaks to short log printing
332
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
335
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
336
occurs. (Martin Pool)
338
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
339
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
341
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
342
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
344
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
345
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
346
settings. (Magnus Therning)
348
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
349
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
351
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
352
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
355
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
356
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
358
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
359
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
361
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
362
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
364
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
367
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
368
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
370
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
371
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
373
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
374
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
375
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
379
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
381
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
383
* Error when run with -OO
385
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
388
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
390
* Change status to 3 for all errors
392
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
393
ignored by diff and status
395
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
396
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
398
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
400
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
402
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
403
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
405
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
406
email address. (Marien Zwart)
408
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
411
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
412
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
414
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
416
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
417
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
419
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
422
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
425
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
429
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
430
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
432
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
434
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
436
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
438
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
439
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
440
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
442
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
444
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
447
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
449
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
450
If adding a new test script please add that to
451
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
453
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
454
imported. (Martin Pool)
456
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
457
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
458
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
459
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
460
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
463
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
464
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
465
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
467
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
468
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
469
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
471
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
472
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
473
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
474
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
475
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
478
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
479
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
484
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
485
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
487
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
488
function. (Robert Collins)
490
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
491
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
492
if needed). (Robert Collins)
494
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
495
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
497
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
498
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
499
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
500
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
501
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
502
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
503
version. (Robert Collins)
505
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
506
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
508
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
509
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
510
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
511
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
512
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
513
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
515
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
518
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
526
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
528
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
530
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
533
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
534
query method. (Robert Collins)
536
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
539
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
542
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
546
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
547
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
548
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
549
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
551
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
552
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
553
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
554
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
556
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
557
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
563
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
566
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
570
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
571
a separator, not ':'.
574
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
575
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
576
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
578
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
579
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
582
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
583
has been added that suppresses all output.
585
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
588
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
591
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
592
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
594
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
595
a revision. (Robert Collins)
597
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
598
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
599
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
600
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
602
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
604
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
605
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
607
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
608
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
610
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
611
output directory, if one was supplied.
613
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
614
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
615
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
616
parameters. (Robert Collins)
618
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
620
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
621
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
623
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
624
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
625
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
627
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
628
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
630
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
633
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
635
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
639
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
640
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
641
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
643
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
644
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
645
related questions. (Robert Collins)
647
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
648
is given. (Martin Pool)
650
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
651
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
652
file. (Robert Collins)
654
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
659
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
660
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
661
representation. (Martin Pool).
663
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
664
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
665
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
667
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
670
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
671
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
674
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
675
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
676
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
677
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
678
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
680
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
681
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
682
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
683
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
684
python path. (Robert Collins)
686
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
687
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
688
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
689
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
691
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
692
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
694
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
695
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
698
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
699
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
700
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
702
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
703
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
704
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
706
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
707
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
709
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
710
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
711
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
714
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
715
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
716
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
717
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
720
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
723
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
724
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
727
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
728
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
729
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
731
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
732
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
733
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
735
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
736
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
737
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
739
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
740
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
742
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
743
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
744
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
745
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
746
caller. (Robert Collins)
748
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
749
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
752
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
753
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
755
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
757
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
758
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
762
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
763
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
765
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
766
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
773
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
774
allow directories to be listed.
776
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
777
upgrading branch format.
781
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
788
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
789
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
790
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
791
high-latency connections.
795
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
798
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
799
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
801
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
802
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
803
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
804
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
806
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
807
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
809
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
810
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
812
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
813
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
814
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
816
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
817
for files with only a change to their executable status.
818
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
821
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
822
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
824
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
825
different partial views of history.
827
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
828
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
833
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
834
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
835
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
837
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
838
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
841
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
842
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
844
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
847
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
848
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
850
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
851
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
852
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
853
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
855
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
857
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
858
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
861
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
862
Contributed by Robert Collins.
864
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
865
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
866
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
871
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
872
for your viewing pleasure.
874
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
875
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
877
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
878
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
879
handling of such circumstances.
884
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
885
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
887
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
888
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
895
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
897
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
900
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
902
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
904
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
905
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
909
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
910
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
912
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
913
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
914
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
915
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
918
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
919
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
923
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
925
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
926
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
933
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
934
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
935
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
936
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
939
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
942
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
943
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
944
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
945
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
946
for the operating system is still tried.
948
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
949
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
950
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
955
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
959
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
961
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
964
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
970
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
972
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
979
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
980
help with intelligent shell completion.
982
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
987
* Much better merge support.
989
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
990
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
996
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
997
mention revisions that are not present.
999
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1001
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1003
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1004
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1009
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1011
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1012
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1018
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1019
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
1024
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
1028
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
1029
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
1031
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
1033
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
1034
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
1036
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
1039
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
1041
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
1044
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
1045
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
1047
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
1048
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
1049
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
1054
* Faster working tree operations.
1059
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
1060
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
1061
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
1062
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
1064
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
1065
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
1066
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
1067
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
1068
standard plugins directory.
1070
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
1071
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
1072
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
1073
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
1075
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
1076
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
1078
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
1081
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
1082
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
1083
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
1085
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
1086
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
1088
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
1089
line options must come before the command name because they
1090
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
1091
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
1094
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
1096
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
1097
is available with ``--short``.
1102
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1105
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
1109
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1110
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1112
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1113
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1114
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1115
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1117
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1118
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1119
with the ``--forward`` option.
1121
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1122
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
1128
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
1129
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
1131
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
1133
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
1134
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
1136
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1138
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
1139
either read or write mode.
1141
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
1143
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
1146
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
1148
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
1149
suggested by LarstiQ.
1151
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1152
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1154
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1157
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1158
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1160
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1161
haven't changed since the previous time.
1163
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1164
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1166
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1168
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1170
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1171
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1173
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1174
options through to an external GNU diff.
1176
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1179
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1185
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1186
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1188
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1194
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1195
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1198
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1199
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1201
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1202
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1204
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1205
under a different version.
1207
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1212
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1214
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1215
Scott James Remnant.
1217
* Better help messages for many commands.
1219
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1220
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1222
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1223
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1225
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1227
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1229
* New AtomicFile class.
1231
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1236
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1237
2.4 is now only recommended.
1240
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1244
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1245
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1247
* More default ignore patterns.
1249
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1250
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1252
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1254
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1257
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1262
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1263
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1264
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1265
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1266
there are DNS problems.
1268
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1273
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1275
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1277
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1278
trailing newlines properly.
1283
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1286
* More tests in test.sh.
1288
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1289
directory and delete it when done.
1291
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1296
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1299
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1303
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1307
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1310
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1312
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1315
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1318
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1320
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1324
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1325
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1330
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1331
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1336
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1340
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1347
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
1350
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
1354
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
1356
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
1357
rather than replacing it.
1359
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
1363
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
1366
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
1367
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
1369
* Performance improvements.
1371
* New global --profile option.
1373
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
1374
the root directory only.
1377
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
1381
* More information from info command.
1383
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
1385
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
1386
committing to stores.
1388
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
1392
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
1396
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
1397
installation easier.
1399
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
1403
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
1407
* First public release.
