* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6
revno:N:branch. For example,
7
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
9
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
10
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
13
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
14
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
15
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
17
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
18
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
20
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
21
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
22
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
26
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
27
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
29
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
30
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
32
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
33
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
35
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
36
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
41
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
42
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
43
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
44
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
47
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
48
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
49
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
10
55
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11
56
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
18
63
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
19
64
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
66
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
67
to more locations than just branch locations.
72
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
73
revno:N:branch. For example,
74
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
75
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
21
77
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
22
78
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
23
79
the path of a file that has been versioned.
80
136
the same way you would apply another branch.
81
137
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
83
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
84
to more locations than just branch locations.
87
139
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
88
140
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
