5
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
13
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
14
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
15
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
17
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
18
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
20
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
23
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
24
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
25
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
26
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
27
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
28
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
30
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
31
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
32
should enable you to do::
35
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
36
push_location:policy = appendpath
38
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
39
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
42
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
43
for each file. For example::
51
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
52
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
54
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
56
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
57
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
61
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
62
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
63
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
64
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
66
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
67
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
68
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
70
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
72
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
73
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
74
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
77
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
82
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
83
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
84
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
85
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
86
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
88
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
89
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
91
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
92
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
94
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
96
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
98
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
99
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
100
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
101
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
102
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
104
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
105
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
106
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
107
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
109
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
110
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
112
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
113
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
117
No changes from 0.13rc1
119
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
123
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
127
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
128
operations are substantially faster.
129
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
131
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
132
tree from some other url. For example:
133
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
136
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
137
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
138
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
139
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
141
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
144
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
145
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
146
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
147
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
148
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
149
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
153
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
154
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
157
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
158
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
161
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
162
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
163
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
166
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
167
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
169
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
170
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
175
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
176
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
177
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
178
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
180
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
182
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
183
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
185
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
186
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
187
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
190
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
191
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
192
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
194
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
195
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
196
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
199
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
200
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
202
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
204
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
205
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
207
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
208
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
210
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
211
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
212
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
213
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
215
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
216
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
217
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
219
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
220
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
222
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
223
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
224
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
225
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
226
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
230
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
231
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
237
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
238
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
241
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
245
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
246
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
247
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
248
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
250
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
251
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
253
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
255
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
256
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
257
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
258
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
260
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
261
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
262
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
263
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
268
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
269
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
273
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
274
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
275
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
277
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
278
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
281
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
282
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
283
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
285
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
286
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
289
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
290
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
291
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
293
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
294
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
295
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
296
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
297
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
298
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
300
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
301
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
302
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
305
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
306
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
310
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
311
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
312
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
315
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
316
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
318
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
319
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
320
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
322
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
323
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
325
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
326
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
327
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
328
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
330
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
331
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
333
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
334
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
335
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
337
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
338
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
340
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
342
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
343
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
348
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
349
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
350
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
351
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
353
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
354
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
355
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
359
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
361
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
365
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
367
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
370
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
374
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
375
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
376
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
377
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
378
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
379
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
380
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
382
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
383
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
384
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
386
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
388
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
389
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
391
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
392
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
393
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
396
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
397
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
398
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
401
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
402
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
403
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
404
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
407
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
408
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
409
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
414
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
415
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
417
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
419
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
420
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
421
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
423
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
424
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
426
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
427
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
429
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
430
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
432
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
433
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
435
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
437
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
438
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
440
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
441
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
443
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
444
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
446
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
449
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
450
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
451
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
453
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
454
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
456
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
457
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
458
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
459
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
461
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
462
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
463
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
465
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
466
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
470
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
474
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
475
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
478
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
479
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
480
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
481
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
483
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
486
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
487
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
488
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
490
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
491
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
493
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
494
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
495
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
497
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
498
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
499
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
500
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
501
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
502
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
503
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
504
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
507
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
508
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
510
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
511
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
513
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
514
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
515
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
516
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
517
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
518
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
519
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
521
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
522
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
523
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
524
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
525
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
526
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
527
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
528
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
531
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
532
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
533
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
535
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
536
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
538
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
539
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
541
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
542
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
546
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
547
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
549
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
550
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
553
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
554
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
555
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
560
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
561
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
563
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
564
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
565
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
566
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
567
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
569
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
570
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
571
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
573
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
574
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
576
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
577
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
578
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
582
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
584
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
585
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
586
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
588
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
590
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
592
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
593
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
594
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
595
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
597
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
598
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
599
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
600
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
601
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
603
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
604
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
606
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
607
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
609
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
610
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
612
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
613
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
616
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
617
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
621
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
622
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
623
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
624
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
627
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
628
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
629
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
635
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
636
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
637
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
638
specific one '.bzrignore'.
639
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
640
a more conservative list than the old default.
641
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
642
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
643
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
644
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
646
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
647
to more locations than just branch locations.
652
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
653
revno:N:branch. For example,
654
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
655
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
657
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
658
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
659
the path of a file that has been versioned.
660
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
661
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
662
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
663
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
664
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
667
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
668
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
669
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
672
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
673
(Alexander Belchenko)
675
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
677
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
680
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
681
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
682
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
683
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
684
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
687
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
688
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
689
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
690
grained analysis of performance.
691
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
693
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
694
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
696
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
697
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
698
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
699
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
700
file. (Robert Collins).
702
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
703
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
704
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
706
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
707
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
710
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
711
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
713
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
714
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
715
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
716
the same way you would apply another branch.
717
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
719
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
720
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
722
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
725
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
728
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
729
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
730
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
732
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
733
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
734
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
736
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
737
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
739
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
740
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
741
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
742
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
743
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
745
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
746
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
748
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
749
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
750
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
751
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
752
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
753
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
754
branch is as much as 4x faster.
755
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
757
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
758
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
759
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
763
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
764
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
767
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
768
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
770
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
771
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
773
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
774
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
776
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
778
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
781
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
782
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
784
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
785
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
788
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
789
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
791
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
792
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
794
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
795
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
796
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
797
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
799
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
800
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
802
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
804
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
805
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
807
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
809
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
811
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
812
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
814
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
815
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
817
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
818
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
819
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
821
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
822
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
823
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
825
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
826
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
828
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
829
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
831
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
832
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
834
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
835
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
837
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
838
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
840
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
841
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
842
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
844
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
846
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
847
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
851
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
852
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
853
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
855
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
856
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
858
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
859
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
860
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
862
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
863
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
865
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
866
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
869
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
870
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
871
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
873
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
874
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
875
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
877
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
878
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
879
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
881
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
882
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
883
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
885
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
886
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
887
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
889
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
890
instead. (Robert Collins)
892
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
898
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
904
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
905
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
907
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
908
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
910
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
911
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
912
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
916
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
918
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
919
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
921
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
925
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
926
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
927
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
928
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
932
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
933
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
934
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
938
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
939
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
940
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
944
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
945
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
949
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
951
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
952
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
953
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
954
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
955
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
956
will keep the same format.
958
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
959
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
960
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
961
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
962
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
964
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
965
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
966
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
967
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
968
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
969
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
970
indicating the current revision of the branch.
972
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
973
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
974
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
975
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
976
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
978
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
979
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
980
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
986
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
987
convention. Paths now take the form:
988
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
990
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
992
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
993
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
995
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
996
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
997
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
999
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1000
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1001
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1002
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1004
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1005
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1008
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1010
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1012
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1013
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
1014
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1015
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1018
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1020
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1021
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1022
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1025
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1027
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1029
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1032
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1033
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1035
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1036
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1039
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1040
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1043
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1045
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1047
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1048
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1050
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1051
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1052
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1053
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1054
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1055
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1057
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1059
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1060
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1063
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1064
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1066
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1067
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1069
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1071
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1072
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1073
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1074
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1075
specification by Martin Pool.
1076
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1078
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1081
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1082
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1084
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1085
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1086
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1088
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1090
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1091
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1096
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1097
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1099
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1101
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1103
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1106
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1107
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1108
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1109
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1113
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1114
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1115
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1116
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1118
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1119
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1120
tried. (Martin Pool)
1122
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1125
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1127
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1128
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1129
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1131
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1132
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1134
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1135
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1136
paths. (Robert Collins)
1138
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1139
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1140
needs. (Robert Collins)
1142
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1143
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1144
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1146
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1147
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1149
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1152
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1155
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1157
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1159
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1160
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1161
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1164
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1165
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1167
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1168
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1169
check. (Robert Collins)
1171
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1172
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1176
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1177
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1179
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1180
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1181
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1182
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1184
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1185
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1186
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1187
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1188
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1190
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1191
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1192
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1194
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1196
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1197
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1203
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1204
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1206
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1207
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1208
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1211
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1212
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1214
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1215
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1216
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1217
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1218
(John Arbash Meinel)
1220
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1221
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1222
used. (Robert Collins)
1224
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1225
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1228
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1229
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1230
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1232
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1235
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1236
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1240
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1241
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1243
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1245
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1247
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1248
tree. (Robert Collins)
1250
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1251
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1252
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1255
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1258
* Tweaks to short log printing
1260
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1263
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1264
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1266
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1267
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1269
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1270
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1272
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1273
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1274
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1276
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1277
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1279
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1280
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1283
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1284
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1286
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1287
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1289
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1290
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1292
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1295
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1296
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1298
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1299
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1301
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1302
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1303
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1307
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1309
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1311
* Error when run with -OO
1313
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1316
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1318
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1320
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1321
ignored by diff and status
1323
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1324
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1326
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1328
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1330
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1331
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1333
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1334
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1336
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1339
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1340
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1342
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1344
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1345
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1347
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1350
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1353
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1357
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1358
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1360
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1362
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1364
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1366
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1367
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1368
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1370
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1372
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1373
(John Arbash Meinel)
1375
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1377
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1378
If adding a new test script please add that to
1379
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1381
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1382
imported. (Martin Pool)
1384
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1385
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1386
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1387
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1388
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1391
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1392
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1393
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1395
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1396
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1397
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1399
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1400
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1401
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1402
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1403
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1406
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1407
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1412
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1413
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1415
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1416
function. (Robert Collins)
1418
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1419
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1420
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1422
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1423
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1425
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1426
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1427
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1428
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1429
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1430
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1431
version. (Robert Collins)
1433
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1434
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1436
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1437
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1438
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1439
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1440
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1441
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1443
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1446
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1454
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1456
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1458
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1461
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1462
query method. (Robert Collins)
1464
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1467
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1470
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1474
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1475
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1476
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1477
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1479
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1480
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1481
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1482
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1484
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1485
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1491
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1494
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1498
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1499
a separator, not ':'.
1502
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1503
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1504
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1506
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1507
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1510
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1511
has been added that suppresses all output.
1513
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1516
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1517
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1519
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1520
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1522
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1523
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1525
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1526
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1527
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1528
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1530
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1532
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1533
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1535
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1536
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1538
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1539
output directory, if one was supplied.
1541
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1542
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1543
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1544
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1546
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1548
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1549
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1551
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1552
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1553
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1555
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1556
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1558
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1561
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1563
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1567
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1568
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1569
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1571
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1572
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1573
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1575
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1576
is given. (Martin Pool)
1578
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1579
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1580
file. (Robert Collins)
1582
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1587
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1588
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1589
representation. (Martin Pool).
1591
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1592
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1593
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1595
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1598
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1599
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1602
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1603
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1604
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1605
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1606
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1608
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1609
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1610
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1611
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1612
python path. (Robert Collins)
1614
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1615
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1616
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1617
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1619
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1620
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1622
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1623
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1626
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1627
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1628
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1630
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1631
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1632
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1634
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1635
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1637
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1638
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1639
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1642
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1643
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1644
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1645
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1648
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1651
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1652
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1655
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1656
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1657
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1659
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1660
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1661
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1663
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1664
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1665
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1667
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1668
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1670
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1671
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1672
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1673
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1674
caller. (Robert Collins)
1676
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1677
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1680
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1681
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1683
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1685
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1686
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1690
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1691
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1693
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1694
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1697
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1701
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1702
allow directories to be listed.
1704
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1705
upgrading branch format.
1709
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1716
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1717
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1718
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1719
high-latency connections.
1723
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1726
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1727
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1729
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1730
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1731
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1732
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1734
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1735
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1737
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1738
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1740
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1741
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1742

1744
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1745
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1746
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1749
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1750
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1752
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1753
different partial views of history.
1755
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1756
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1760
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1761
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1762
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1764
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1765
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1768
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1769
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1771
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1774
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1775
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1777
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1778
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1779
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1780
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1782
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1784
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1785
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1788
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1789
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1791
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1792
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1793
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1798
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1799
for your viewing pleasure.
1801
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1802
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1804
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1805
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1806
handling of such circumstances.
1811
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1812
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1814
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1815
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1818
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1822
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1824
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1827
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1829
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1831
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1832
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1836
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1837
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1839
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1840
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1841
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1842
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1845
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1846
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1850
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1852
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1853
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1856
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1860
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1861
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1862
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1863
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1866
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1869
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1870
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1871
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1872
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1873
for the operating system is still tried.
1875
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1876
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1877
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1882
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1886
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1888
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1891
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1897
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1899
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1902
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
1906
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
1907
help with intelligent shell completion.
1909
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1914
* Much better merge support.
1916
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1917
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
1923
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
1924
mention revisions that are not present.
1926
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1928
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1930
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1931
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1936
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1938
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1939
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1945
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1946
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
1951
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
1955
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
1956
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
1958
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
1960
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
1961
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
1963
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
1966
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
1968
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
1971
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
1972
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
1974
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
1975
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
1976
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
1981
* Faster working tree operations.
1986
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
1987
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
1988
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
1989
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
1991
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
1992
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
1993
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
1994
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
1995
standard plugins directory.
1997
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
1998
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
1999
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2000
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2002
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2003
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2005
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2008
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2009
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2010
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2012
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2013
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2015
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2016
line options must come before the command name because they
2017
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2018
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2021
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2023
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2024
is available with ``--short``.
2029
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2032
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2036
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2037
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2039
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2040
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2041
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2042
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2044
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2045
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2046
with the ``--forward`` option.
2048
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2049
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2055
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2056
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2058
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2060
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2061
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2063
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2065
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2066
either read or write mode.
2068
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2070
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2073
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2075
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2076
suggested by LarstiQ.
2078
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2079
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2081
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2084
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2085
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2087
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2088
haven't changed since the previous time.
2090
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2091
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2093
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2095
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2097
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2098
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2100
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2101
options through to an external GNU diff.
2103
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2106
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2112
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2113
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2115
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2121
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2122
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2125
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2126
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2128
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2129
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2131
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2132
under a different version.
2134
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2139
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2141
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2142
Scott James Remnant.
2144
* Better help messages for many commands.
2146
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2147
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2149
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2150
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2152
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2154
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2156
* New AtomicFile class.
2158
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2163
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2164
2.4 is now only recommended.
2167
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2171
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2172
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2174
* More default ignore patterns.
2176
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2177
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2179
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2181
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2184
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2189
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2190
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2191
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2192
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2193
there are DNS problems.
2195
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2200
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2202
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2204
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2205
trailing newlines properly.
2210
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2213
* More tests in test.sh.
2215
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2216
directory and delete it when done.
2218
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2223
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2226
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2230
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2234
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2237
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2239
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2242
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2245
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2247
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2251
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2252
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2257
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2258
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2263
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2267
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2274
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
2277
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
2281
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
2283
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
2284
rather than replacing it.
2286
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
2290
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
2293
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
2294
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
2296
* Performance improvements.
2298
* New global --profile option.
2300
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
2301
the root directory only.
2304
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
2308
* More information from info command.
2310
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
2312
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
2313
committing to stores.
2315
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
2319
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
2323
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
2324
installation easier.
2326
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
2330
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
2334
* First public release.
