5
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6
it could be recovered again.
7
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
8
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
11
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
13
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
14
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
18
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
19
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
21
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
22
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type `c`
23
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
24
BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0. (Martin Pool)
26
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
27
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
29
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
30
tests with names that match that regular expression.
31
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
33
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
34
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
35
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
37
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
38
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
39
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
41
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
42
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
45
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
48
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
49
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
50
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
51
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
53
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
56
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
57
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
58
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
61
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
62
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
64
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
65
found (fixes bug 107656). (Robert Collins)
67
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
68
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
69
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
70
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
73
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
74
plugin PLUGINNAME fixing bug 50408. (Robert Collins)
76
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
79
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port (fixes
80
#107125) and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
83
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
84
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
85
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
87
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
88
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
89
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
93
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
94
code paths. (Robert Collins)
96
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
97
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
98
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
99
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
100
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
102
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
103
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
105
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
106
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
108
* Convenience method TestCase.expectFailure ensures that known failures
109
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
111
* Transport.local_abspath now raises NotLocalUrl rather than
112
TransportNotPossible. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
114
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
115
in bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks. The two initial hooks allow
116
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
119
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
120
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
121
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
122
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
123
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
126
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
127
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
128
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
130
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
131
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
132
consistent with its new home in bzrlib/transport/remote.py, and because
133
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
134
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
136
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
137
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
138
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
139
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
141
* New method 'get_branch_reference' on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
142
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
144
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
145
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
146
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
147
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
148
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
149
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
151
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
152
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
154
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
155
help. (Robert Collins)
157
* New class 'TransportListRegistry', derived from the Registry class, which
158
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
160
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
161
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
162
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
163
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
166
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
167
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
168
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
169
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
170
useful. (Robert Collins)
172
* urlutils.normalize_url now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
177
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
178
(#98510, Ian Clatworthy)
180
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
181
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
183
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
184
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.
187
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
190
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
191
the file, and does it faster.
192
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
194
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
195
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
196
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
198
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
199
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
200
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
201
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
203
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
204
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
205
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
206
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
208
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
209
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
211
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
213
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
214
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
216
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
217
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
221
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
222
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
223
in running it. (Robert Collins)
225
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
226
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
228
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
229
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
230
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
231
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
232
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
233
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
234
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
235
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
237
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
238
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
239
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
241
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
242
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
243
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
244
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
245
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
247
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
249
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
250
functions by adding a __unittest global attribute. (Robert Collins,
251
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
257
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
260
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
261
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
264
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
268
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
269
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
274
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
275
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
276
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
277
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
278
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
279
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
280
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
281
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
286
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
287
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
288
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
290
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
291
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
294
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
295
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
298
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
299
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
300
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
301
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
302
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
306
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
309
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
310
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
312
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
313
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
315
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
316
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
317
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
319
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
320
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
322
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
323
last-changed-revision for directories. The
324
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
325
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
326
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
328
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
329
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
330
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
332
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
336
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
338
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
340
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
341
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
342
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
346
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
347
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
349
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
350
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
352
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
354
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
355
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
357
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
358
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
362
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
367
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
368
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
369
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
370
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
372
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
373
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
375
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
376
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
378
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
381
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
382
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
385
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
389
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
390
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
391
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
392
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
393
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
394
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
396
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
397
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
398
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
399
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
400
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
401
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
402
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
404
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
405
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
406
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
407
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
408
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
409
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
410
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
411
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
415
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
416
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
418
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
419
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
420
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
421
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
423
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
424
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
425
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
426
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
427
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
429
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
432
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
435
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
438
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
439
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
442
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
445
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
446
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
448
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
449
directory. (Martin Pool)
451
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
452
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
453
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
454
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
456
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
457
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
458
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
459
in docs/configuration.txt.
461
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
462
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
465
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
466
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
467
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
468
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
469
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
470
repositories. (Martin Pool)
472
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
473
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
475
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
476
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
478
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
483
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
484
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
485
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
486
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
487
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
490
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
491
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
494
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
495
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
498
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
499
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
500
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
501
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
502
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
504
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
505
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
506
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
508
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
509
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
510
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
511
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
513
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
515
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
516
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
517
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
518
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
520
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
521
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
522
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
523
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
525
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
526
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
527
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
529
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
530
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
531
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
533
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
534
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
535
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
536
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
538
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
539
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
540
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
542
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
543
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
544
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
546
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
547
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
548
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
549
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
550
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
551
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
552
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
553
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
554
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
555
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
556
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
560
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
561
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
562
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
564
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
567
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
568
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
569
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
570
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
572
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
573
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
576
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
577
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
579
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
581
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
582
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
584
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
585
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
587
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
590
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
591
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
593
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
594
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
596
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
598
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
599
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
603
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
604
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
611
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
615
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
616
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
617
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
619
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
620
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
621
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
624
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
628
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
629
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
630
server, then you can write over the http connection.
631
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
633
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
636
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
637
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
638
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
640
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
641
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
643
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
646
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
647
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
648
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
649
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
650
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
651
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
653
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
654
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
655
should enable you to do::
658
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
659
push_location:policy = appendpath
661
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
662
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
665
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
666
for each file. For example::
674
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
675
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
677
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
679
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
680
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
682
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
686
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
687
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
688
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
689
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
691
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
692
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
693
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
695
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
697
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
698
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
699
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
700
(Alexander Belchenko)
702
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
705
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
706
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
708
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
712
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
713
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
715
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
716
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
717
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
718
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
719
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
721
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
722
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
724
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
725
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
727
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
729
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
731
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
732
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
733
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
734
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
735
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
737
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
738
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
739
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
740
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
742
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
743
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
745
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
746
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
748
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
749
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
751
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
752
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
757
No changes from 0.13rc1
759
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
763
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
767
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
768
operations are substantially faster.
769
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
771
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
772
tree from some other url. For example:
773
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
776
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
777
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
778
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
779
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
781
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
784
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
785
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
786
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
787
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
788
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
789
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
793
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
794
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
797
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
798
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
801
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
802
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
803
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
806
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
807
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
809
* New method 'get_branch_reference' on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
810
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
812
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
813
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
818
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
819
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
822
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
823
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
824
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
825
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
827
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
829
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
830
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
832
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
833
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
834
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
835
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
837
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
838
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
839
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
841
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
842
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
843
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
846
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
847
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
849
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
851
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
852
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
854
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
855
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
857
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
858
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
859
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
860
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
862
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
863
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
864
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
866
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
867
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
869
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
870
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
871
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
872
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
873
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
877
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
878
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
884
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
885
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
888
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
892
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
893
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
894
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
895
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
897
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
898
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
900
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
902
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
903
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
904
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
905
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
907
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
908
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
909
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
910
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
915
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
916
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
920
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
921
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
922
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
924
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
925
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
928
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
929
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
930
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
932
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
933
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
936
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
937
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
938
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
940
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
941
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
942
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
943
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
944
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
945
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
947
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
948
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
949
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
952
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
953
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
957
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
958
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
959
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
962
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
963
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
965
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
966
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
967
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
969
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
970
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
972
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
973
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
974
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
975
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
977
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
978
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
980
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
981
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
982
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
984
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
985
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
987
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
989
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
990
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
995
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
996
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
997
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
998
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1000
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1001
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1002
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1006
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1008
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1012
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1014
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1017
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1021
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1022
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1023
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1024
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1025
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1026
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1027
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1029
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1030
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1031
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1033
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1035
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1036
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1038
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1039
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1040
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1043
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1044
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1045
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1046
(John Arbash Meinel)
1048
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
1049
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1050
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1051
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1054
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1055
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1056
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1057
(John Arbash Meinel)
1061
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
1062
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1064
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1066
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1067
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1068
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1070
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1071
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1073
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1074
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1076
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1079
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1080
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1082
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1084
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1085
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1087
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1088
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1090
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1091
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1093
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1094
(John Arbash Meinel)
1096
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1097
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1098
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1100
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1101
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1103
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1104
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1105
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1106
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1108
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1109
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1110
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1112
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1113
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1117
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1121
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1122
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1123
(John Arbash Meinel)
1125
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
1126
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1127
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
1128
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1130
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1133
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
1134
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1135
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1137
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
1138
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1140
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1141
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1142
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1144
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1145
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
1146
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
1147
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
1148
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
1149
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
1150
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
1151
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
1152
(John Arbash Meinel)
1154
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1155
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1157
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
1158
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1160
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
1161
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1162
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1163
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1164
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
1165
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1166
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1168
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1169
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1170
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1171
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1172
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1173
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1174
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1175
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1178
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1179
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1180
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1182
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1183
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1185
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
1186
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1188
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1189
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1193
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1194
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1196
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
1197
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
1200
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1201
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1202
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1207
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1208
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1210
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1211
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1212
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
1213
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1214
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1216
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1217
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1218
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1220
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1221
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1223
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1224
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1225
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1229
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1231
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1232
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1233
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1235
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1237
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1239
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1240
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1241
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1242
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1244
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1245
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1246
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1247
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1248
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1250
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1251
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1253
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1254
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1256
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1257
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1259
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1260
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
1263
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1264
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1268
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1269
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1270
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1271
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1272
(John Arbash Meinel)
1274
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1275
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1276
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1278
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1282
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1283
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1284
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1285
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1286
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1287
a more conservative list than the old default.
1288
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1289
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1290
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1291
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1293
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1294
to more locations than just branch locations.
1299
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1300
revno:N:branch. For example,
1301
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1302
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1304
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1305
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1306
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1307
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1308
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1309
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1310
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1311
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1314
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1315
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1316
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1319
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1320
(Alexander Belchenko)
1322
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1324
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1327
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1328
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1329
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1330
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1331
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1332
(John Arbash Meinel)
1334
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1335
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1336
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1337
grained analysis of performance.
1338
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1340
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1341
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1343
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1344
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1345
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1346
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1347
file. (Robert Collins).
1349
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1350
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1351
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1353
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1354
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1357
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1358
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1360
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1361
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1362
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1363
the same way you would apply another branch.
1364
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1366
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1367
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1369
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1372
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1375
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1376
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1377
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1379
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1380
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1381
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1383
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1384
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1386
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1387
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1388
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1389
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1390
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1392
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1393
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1395
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1396
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1397
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1398
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1399
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1400
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1401
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1402
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1404
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1405
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1406
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1410
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1411
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1414
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1415
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1417
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1418
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1420
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1421
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1423
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1425
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1426
(John Arbash Meinel)
1428
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1429
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1431
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1432
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1435
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1436
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1438
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1439
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1441
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1442
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1443
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1444
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1446
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1447
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1449
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1451
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1452
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1454
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1456
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1458
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1459
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1461
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1462
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1464
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1465
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1466
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1468
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1469
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1470
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1472
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1473
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1475
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1476
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1478
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1479
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1481
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1482
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1484
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1485
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1487
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1488
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1489
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1491
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1493
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1494
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1498
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1499
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1500
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1502
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1503
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1505
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1506
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1507
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1509
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1510
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1512
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1513
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1516
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1517
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1518
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1520
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1521
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1522
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1524
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1525
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1526
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1528
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1529
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1530
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1532
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1533
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1534
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1536
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1537
instead. (Robert Collins)
1539
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1541
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1545
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1547
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1551
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1552
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1554
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1555
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1557
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1558
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1559
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1563
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1565
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1566
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1568
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1572
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1573
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1574
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1575
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1579
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1580
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1581
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1585
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1586
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1587
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1591
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1592
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1596
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1598
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1599
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1600
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1601
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1602
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1603
will keep the same format.
1605
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1606
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1607
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1608
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1609
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1611
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1612
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1613
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1614
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1615
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1616
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1617
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1619
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1620
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1621
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1622
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1623
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1625
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1626
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1627
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1633
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1634
convention. Paths now take the form:
1635
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1637
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1639
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1640
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1642
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1643
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1644
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1646
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1647
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1648
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1649
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1651
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1652
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1655
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1657
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1659
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1660
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1663
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1664
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1667
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1669
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1670
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1671
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1674
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1676
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1678
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1681
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1682
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1684
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1685
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1688
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1689
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1692
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1694
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1696
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1697
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1699
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1700
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1701
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1702
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1703
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1704
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1706
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1708
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1709
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1712
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1713
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1715
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1716
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1718
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1720
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1721
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1722
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1723
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1724
specification by Martin Pool.
1725
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1727
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1730
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1731
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1733
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1734
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1735
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1737
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1739
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1740
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1745
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1746
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1748
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1750
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1752
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1755
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1756
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1757
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1758
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1762
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1763
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1764
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1765
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1767
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1768
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1769
tried. (Martin Pool)
1771
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1774
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1776
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1777
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1778
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1780
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1781
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1783
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1784
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1785
paths. (Robert Collins)
1787
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1788
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1789
needs. (Robert Collins)
1791
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1792
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1793
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1795
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1796
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1798
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1801
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1804
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1806
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1808
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1809
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1810
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1813
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1814
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1816
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1817
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1818
check. (Robert Collins)
1820
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1821
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1825
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1826
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1828
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1829
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1830
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1831
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1833
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1834
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1835
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1836
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1837
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1839
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1840
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1841
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1843
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1845
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1846
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1852
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1853
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1855
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1856
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1857
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1860
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1861
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1863
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1864
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1865
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1866
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1867
(John Arbash Meinel)
1869
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1870
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1871
used. (Robert Collins)
1873
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1874
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1877
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1878
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1879
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1881
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1884
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1885
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1889
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1890
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1892
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1894
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1896
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1897
tree. (Robert Collins)
1899
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1900
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1901
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1904
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1907
* Tweaks to short log printing
1909
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1912
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1913
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1915
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1916
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1918
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1919
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1921
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1922
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1923
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1925
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1926
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1928
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1929
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1932
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1933
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1935
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1936
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1938
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1939
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1941
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1944
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1945
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1947
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1948
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1950
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1951
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1952
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1956
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1958
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1960
* Error when run with -OO
1962
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1965
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1967
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1969
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1970
ignored by diff and status
1972
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1973
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1975
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1977
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1979
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1980
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1982
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1983
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1985
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1988
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1989
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1991
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1993
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1994
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1996
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1999
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
2002
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2006
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2007
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2009
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2011
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2013
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2015
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2016
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2017
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2019
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2021
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2022
(John Arbash Meinel)
2024
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2026
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2027
If adding a new test script please add that to
2028
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
2030
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2031
imported. (Martin Pool)
2033
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2034
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2035
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2036
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2037
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2040
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2041
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2042
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2044
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2045
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2046
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2048
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2049
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2050
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2051
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2052
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2055
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
2056
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2061
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2062
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2064
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
2065
function. (Robert Collins)
2067
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
2068
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2069
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2071
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
2072
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
2074
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
2075
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2076
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2077
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2078
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2079
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2080
version. (Robert Collins)
2082
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2083
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2085
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
2086
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
2087
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
2088
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
2089
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
2090
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2092
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2095
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
2103
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
2105
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2107
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
2110
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
2111
query method. (Robert Collins)
2113
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2116
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2119
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
2122
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2123
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
2124
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2125
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2127
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2128
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
2129
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2130
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2132
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
2133
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2139
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2142
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2146
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2147
a separator, not ':'.
2150
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2151
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2152
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2154
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2155
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2158
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2159
has been added that suppresses all output.
2161
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2164
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2165
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2167
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2168
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2170
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2171
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2173
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
2174
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
2175
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2176
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2178
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2180
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2181
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2183
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2184
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2186
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2187
output directory, if one was supplied.
2189
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
2190
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2191
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
2192
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2194
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2196
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2197
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2199
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2200
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2201
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2203
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2204
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2206
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2209
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2211
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2215
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2216
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2217
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2219
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2220
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2221
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2223
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2224
is given. (Martin Pool)
2226
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2227
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2228
file. (Robert Collins)
2230
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2235
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2236
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2237
representation. (Martin Pool).
2239
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2240
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2241
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2243
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2246
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2247
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2250
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2251
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2252
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2253
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2254
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2256
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2257
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2258
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
2259
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2260
python path. (Robert Collins)
2262
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2263
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2264
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2265
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2267
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2268
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2270
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2271
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2274
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2275
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2276
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2278
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2279
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2280
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2282
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2283
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2285
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2286
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2287
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2290
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2291
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2292
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2293
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2296
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2299
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2300
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2303
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2304
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2305
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2307
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2308
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2309
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2311
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2312
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2313
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2315
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2316
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2318
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2319
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2320
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2321
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2322
caller. (Robert Collins)
2324
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2325
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2328
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2329
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2331
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2333
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2334
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2338
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2339
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2341
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2342
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2345
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2349
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2350
allow directories to be listed.
2352
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2353
upgrading branch format.
2357
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2364
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2365
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2366
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2367
high-latency connections.
2371
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2374
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2375
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2377
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2378
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2379
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2380
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2382
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2383
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2385
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2386
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2388
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2389
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2390
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2392
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2393
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2394
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2397
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2398
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2400
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2401
different partial views of history.
2403
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2404
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2408
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2409
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2410
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2412
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2413
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2416
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2417
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2419
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2422
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2423
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2425
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2426
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2427
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2428
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2430
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2432
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2433
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2436
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2437
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2439
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2440
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2441
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2446
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2447
for your viewing pleasure.
2449
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2450
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2452
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2453
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2454
handling of such circumstances.
2456
* Remove RevisionReference class; Revision.parent_ids is now simply a
2457
list of their ids and parent_sha1s is a list of their corresponding
2458
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2460
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2462
* Renamed Branch.last_patch() to Branch.last_revision(), since
2463
we call them revisions not patches.
2465
* Move copy_branch to bzrlib.clone.copy_branch. The destination
2466
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2468
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2469
giving the revision *of that file*.
2471
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2472
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2473
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2477
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2478
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2480
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2481
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2484
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2488
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2490
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2493
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2495
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2497
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2498
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2502
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2503
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2505
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2506
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2507
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2508
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2511
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2512
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2516
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2518
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2519
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2522
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2526
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2527
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2528
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2529
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2532
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2535
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2536
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2537
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2538
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2539
for the operating system is still tried.
2541
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2542
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2543
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2548
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2552
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2554
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2557
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2563
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2565
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2568
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2572
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2573
help with intelligent shell completion.
2575
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2580
* Much better merge support.
2582
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2583
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2589
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2590
mention revisions that are not present.
2592
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2594
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2596
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2597
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2602
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2604
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2605
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2611
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2612
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2617
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2621
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2622
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2624
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2626
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2627
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2629
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2632
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2634
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2637
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2638
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2640
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2641
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2642
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2647
* Faster working tree operations.
2652
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2653
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2654
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2655
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2657
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2658
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2659
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2660
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2661
standard plugins directory.
2663
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2664
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2665
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2666
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2668
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2669
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2671
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2674
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2675
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2676
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2678
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2679
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2681
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2682
line options must come before the command name because they
2683
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2684
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2687
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2689
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2690
is available with ``--short``.
2695
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2698
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2702
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2703
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2705
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2706
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2707
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2708
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2710
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2711
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2712
with the ``--forward`` option.
2714
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2715
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2721
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2722
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2724
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2726
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2727
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2729
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2731
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2732
either read or write mode.
2734
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2736
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2739
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2741
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2742
suggested by LarstiQ.
2744
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2745
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2747
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2750
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2751
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2753
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2754
haven't changed since the previous time.
2756
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2757
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2759
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2761
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2763
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2764
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2766
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2767
options through to an external GNU diff.
2769
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2772
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2778
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2779
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2781
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2787
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2788
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2791
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2792
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2794
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2795
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2797
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2798
under a different version.
2800
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2805
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2807
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2808
Scott James Remnant.
2810
* Better help messages for many commands.
2812
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2813
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2815
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2816
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2818
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2820
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2822
* New AtomicFile class.
2824
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2829
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2830
2.4 is now only recommended.
2833
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2837
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2838
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2840
* More default ignore patterns.
2842
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2843
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2845
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2847
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2850
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2855
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2856
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2857
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2858
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2859
there are DNS problems.
2861
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2866
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2868
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2870
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2871
trailing newlines properly.
2876
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2879
* More tests in test.sh.
2881
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2882
directory and delete it when done.
2884
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2889
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2892
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2896
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2900
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2903
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2905
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2908
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2911
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2913
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2917
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2918
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2923
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2924
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2929
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2933
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2940
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
2943
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
2947
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
2949
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
2950
rather than replacing it.
2952
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
2956
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
2959
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
2960
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
2962
* Performance improvements.
2964
* New global --profile option.
2966
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
2967
the root directory only.
2970
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
2974
* More information from info command.
2976
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
2978
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
2979
committing to stores.
2981
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
2985
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
2989
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
2990
installation easier.
2992
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
2996
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3000
* First public release.
