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)
81
* 'Metadir' is now the default disk format. This improves behaviour in
82
SFTP using circumstances and allows binding and rebinding and easier
83
use of repositories. (Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley).
87
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
88
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
90
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
92
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
94
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
99
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
100
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
101
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
102
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
104
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
105
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
108
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
111
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
113
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
114
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
115
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
117
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
118
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
120
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
121
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
122
paths. (Robert Collins)
124
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
125
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
126
needs. (Robert Collins)
128
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
129
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
130
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
132
* Progress bars are now nested - see
133
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
135
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
138
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
141
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
145
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
146
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
148
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
149
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
150
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
151
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
153
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
154
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
155
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
156
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
157
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
159
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
160
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
161
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
163
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
165
bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
169
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
170
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
172
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
173
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
174
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
177
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
178
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
180
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
181
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
182
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
183
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
186
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
187
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
188
used. (Robert Collins)
190
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
191
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
194
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
195
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
196
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
198
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
201
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
202
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
206
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
207
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
209
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
211
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
213
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
214
tree. (Robert Collins)
216
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
217
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
218
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
221
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
224
* Tweaks to short log printing
226
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
229
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
230
occurs. (Martin Pool)
232
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
233
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
235
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
236
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
238
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
239
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
240
settings. (Magnus Therning)
242
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
243
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
245
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
246
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
249
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
250
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
252
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
253
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
255
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
256
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
258
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
261
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
262
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
264
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
265
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
267
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
268
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
269
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
273
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
275
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
277
* Error when run with -OO
279
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
282
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
284
* Change status to 3 for all errors
286
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
287
ignored by diff and status
289
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
290
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
292
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
294
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
296
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
297
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
299
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
300
email address. (Marien Zwart)
302
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
305
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
306
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
308
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
310
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
311
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
313
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
316
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
319
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
323
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
324
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
326
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
328
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
330
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
332
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
333
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
334
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
336
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
338
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
341
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
343
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
344
If adding a new test script please add that to
345
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
347
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
348
imported. (Martin Pool)
350
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
351
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
352
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
353
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
354
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
357
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
358
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
359
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
361
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
362
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
363
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
365
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
366
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
367
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
368
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
369
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
372
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
373
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
378
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
379
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
381
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
382
function. (Robert Collins)
384
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
385
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
386
if needed). (Robert Collins)
388
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
389
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
391
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
392
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
393
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
394
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
395
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
396
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
397
version. (Robert Collins)
399
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
400
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
402
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
403
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
404
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
405
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
406
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
407
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
409
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
412
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
420
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
422
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
424
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
427
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
428
query method. (Robert Collins)
430
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
433
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
436
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
440
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
441
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
442
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
443
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
445
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
446
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
447
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
448
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
450
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
451
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
457
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
460
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
464
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
465
a separator, not ':'.
468
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
469
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
470
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
472
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
473
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
476
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
477
has been added that suppresses all output.
479
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
482
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
485
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
486
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
488
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
489
a revision. (Robert Collins)
491
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
492
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
493
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
494
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
496
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
498
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
499
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
501
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
502
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
504
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
505
output directory, if one was supplied.
507
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
508
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
509
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
510
parameters. (Robert Collins)
512
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
514
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
515
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
517
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
518
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
519
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
521
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
522
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
524
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
527
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
529
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
533
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
534
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
535
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
537
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
538
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
539
related questions. (Robert Collins)
541
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
542
is given. (Martin Pool)
544
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
545
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
546
file. (Robert Collins)
548
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
553
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
554
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
555
representation. (Martin Pool).
557
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
558
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
559
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
561
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
564
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
565
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
568
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
569
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
570
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
571
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
572
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
574
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
575
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
576
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
577
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
578
python path. (Robert Collins)
580
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
581
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
582
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
583
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
585
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
586
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
588
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
589
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
592
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
593
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
594
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
596
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
597
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
598
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
600
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
601
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
603
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
604
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
605
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
608
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
609
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
610
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
611
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
614
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
617
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
618
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
621
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
622
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
623
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
625
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
626
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
627
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
629
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
630
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
631
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
633
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
634
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
636
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
637
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
638
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
639
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
640
caller. (Robert Collins)
642
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
643
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
646
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
647
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
649
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
651
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
652
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
656
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
657
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
659
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
660
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
667
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
668
allow directories to be listed.
670
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
671
upgrading branch format.
675
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
682
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
683
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
684
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
685
high-latency connections.
689
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
692
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
693
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
695
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
696
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
697
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
698
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
700
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
701
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
703
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
704
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
706
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
707
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
708
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
710
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
711
for files with only a change to their executable status.
712
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
715
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
716
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
718
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
719
different partial views of history.
721
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
722
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
727
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
728
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
729
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
731
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
732
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
735
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
736
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
738
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
741
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
742
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
744
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
745
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
746
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
747
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
749
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
751
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
752
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
755
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
756
Contributed by Robert Collins.
758
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
759
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
760
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
765
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
766
for your viewing pleasure.
768
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
769
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
771
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
772
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
773
handling of such circumstances.
778
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
779
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
781
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
782
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
789
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
791
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
794
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
796
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
798
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
799
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
803
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
804
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
806
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
807
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
808
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
809
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
812
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
813
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
817
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
819
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
820
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
827
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
828
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
829
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
830
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
833
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
836
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
837
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
838
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
839
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
840
for the operating system is still tried.
842
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
843
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
844
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
849
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
853
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
855
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
858
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
864
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
866
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
873
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
874
help with intelligent shell completion.
876
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
881
* Much better merge support.
883
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
884
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
890
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
891
mention revisions that are not present.
893
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
895
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
897
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
898
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
903
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
905
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
906
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
912
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
913
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
922
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
923
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
925
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
927
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
928
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
930
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
933
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
935
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
938
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
939
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
941
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
942
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
943
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
948
* Faster working tree operations.
953
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
954
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
955
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
956
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
958
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
959
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
960
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
961
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
962
standard plugins directory.
964
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
965
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
966
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
967
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
969
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
970
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
972
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
975
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
976
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
977
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
979
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
980
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
982
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
983
line options must come before the command name because they
984
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
985
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
988
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
990
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
991
is available with ``--short``.
996
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1003
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1004
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1006
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1007
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1008
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1009
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1011
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1012
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1013
with the ``--forward`` option.
1015
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1016
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
1022
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
1023
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
1025
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
1027
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
1028
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
1030
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1032
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
1033
either read or write mode.
1035
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
1037
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
1040
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
1042
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
1043
suggested by LarstiQ.
1045
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1046
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1048
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1051
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1052
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1054
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1055
haven't changed since the previous time.
1057
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1058
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1060
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1062
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1064
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1065
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1067
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1068
options through to an external GNU diff.
1070
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1073
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1079
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1080
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1082
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1088
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1089
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1092
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1093
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1095
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1096
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1098
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1099
under a different version.
1101
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1106
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1108
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1109
Scott James Remnant.
1111
* Better help messages for many commands.
1113
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1114
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1116
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1117
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1119
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1121
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1123
* New AtomicFile class.
1125
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1130
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1131
2.4 is now only recommended.
1134
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1138
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1139
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1141
* More default ignore patterns.
1143
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1144
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1146
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1148
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1151
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1156
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1157
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1158
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1159
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1160
there are DNS problems.
1162
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1167
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1169
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1171
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1172
trailing newlines properly.
1177
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1180
* More tests in test.sh.
1182
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1183
directory and delete it when done.
1185
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1190
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1193
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1197
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1201
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1204
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1206
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1209
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1212
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1214
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1218
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1219
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1224
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1225
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1230
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1234
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1241
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
1244
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
1248
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
1250
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
1251
rather than replacing it.
1253
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
1257
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
1260
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
1261
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
1263
* Performance improvements.
1265
* New global --profile option.
1267
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
1268
the root directory only.
1271
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
1275
* More information from info command.
1277
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
1279
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
1280
committing to stores.
1282
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
1286
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
1290
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
1291
installation easier.
1293
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
1297
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
1301
* First public release.
