5
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
8
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
11
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
13
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
14
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file and
15
replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after`` will
16
only update the Bazaar identifier.
17
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
19
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
22
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
27
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
28
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
31
* New Branch hooks facility, with one initial hook 'set_rh' which triggers
32
whenever the revision history is set. This allows triggering on e.g.
33
push, pull, commit, and so on. Developed for use with the branchrss
34
plugin. See bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks for more details. (Robert Collins)
36
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
37
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
38
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
42
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
43
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
44
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
46
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
51
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
52
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
59
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
63
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
64
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
65
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
67
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
68
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
69
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
72
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
76
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
77
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
78
server, then you can write over the http connection.
79
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
81
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
84
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
85
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
86
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
88
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
89
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
91
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
94
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
95
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
96
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
97
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
98
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
99
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
101
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
102
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
103
should enable you to do::
106
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
107
push_location:policy = appendpath
109
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
110
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
113
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
114
for each file. For example::
122
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
123
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
125
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
127
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
128
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
130
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
134
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
135
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
136
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
137
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
139
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
140
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
141
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
143
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
145
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
146
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
147
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
148
(Alexander Belchenko)
150
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
153
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
154
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
156
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
160
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
161
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
163
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
164
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
165
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
166
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
167
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
169
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
170
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
172
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
173
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
175
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
177
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
179
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
180
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
181
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
182
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
183
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
185
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
186
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
187
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
188
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
190
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
191
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
193
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
194
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
196
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
197
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
199
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
200
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
205
No changes from 0.13rc1
207
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
211
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
215
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
216
operations are substantially faster.
217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
219
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
220
tree from some other url. For example:
221
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
224
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
225
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
226
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
227
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
229
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
232
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
233
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
234
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
235
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
236
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
237
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
241
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
242
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
245
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
246
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
249
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
250
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
251
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
254
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
255
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
257
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
258
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
263
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
264
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
267
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
268
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
269
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
270
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
272
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
274
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
275
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
277
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
278
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
279
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
280
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
282
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
283
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
284
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
286
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
287
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
288
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
291
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
292
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
294
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
296
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
297
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
299
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
300
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
302
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
303
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
304
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
305
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
307
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
308
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
309
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
311
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
312
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
314
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
315
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
316
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
317
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
318
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
322
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
323
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
329
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
330
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
333
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
337
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
338
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
339
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
340
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
342
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
343
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
345
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
347
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
348
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
349
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
350
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
352
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
353
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
354
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
355
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
360
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
361
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
365
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
366
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
367
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
369
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
370
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
373
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
374
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
375
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
377
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
378
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
381
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
382
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
383
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
385
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
386
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
387
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
388
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
389
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
390
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
392
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
393
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
394
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
397
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
398
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
402
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
403
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
404
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
407
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
408
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
410
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
411
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
412
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
414
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
415
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
417
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
418
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
419
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
420
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
422
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
423
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
425
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
426
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
427
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
429
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
430
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
432
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
434
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
435
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
440
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
441
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
442
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
443
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
445
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
446
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
447
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
451
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
453
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
457
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
459
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
462
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
466
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
467
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
468
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
469
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
470
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
471
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
472
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
474
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
475
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
476
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
478
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
480
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
481
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
483
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
484
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
485
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
488
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
489
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
490
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
493
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
494
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
495
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
496
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
499
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
500
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
501
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
506
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
507
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
509
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
511
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
512
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
513
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
515
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
516
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
518
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
519
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
521
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
522
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
524
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
525
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
527
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
529
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
530
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
532
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
533
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
535
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
536
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
538
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
541
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
542
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
543
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
545
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
546
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
548
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
549
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
550
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
551
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
553
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
554
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
555
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
557
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
558
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
562
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
566
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
567
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
570
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
571
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
572
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
573
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
575
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
578
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
579
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
580
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
582
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
583
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
585
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
586
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
587
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
589
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
590
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
591
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
592
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
593
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
594
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
595
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
596
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
599
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
600
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
602
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
603
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
605
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
606
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
607
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
608
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
609
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
610
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
611
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
613
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
614
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
615
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
616
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
617
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
618
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
619
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
620
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
623
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
624
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
625
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
627
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
628
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
630
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
631
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
633
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
634
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
638
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
639
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
641
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
642
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
645
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
646
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
647
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
652
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
653
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
655
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
656
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
657
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
658
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
659
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
661
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
662
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
663
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
665
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
666
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
668
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
669
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
670
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
674
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
676
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
677
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
678
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
680
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
682
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
684
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
685
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
686
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
687
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
689
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
690
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
691
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
692
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
693
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
695
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
696
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
698
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
699
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
701
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
702
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
704
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
705
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
708
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
709
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
713
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
714
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
715
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
716
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
719
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
720
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
721
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
727
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
728
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
729
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
730
specific one '.bzrignore'.
731
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
732
a more conservative list than the old default.
733
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
734
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
735
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
736
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
738
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
739
to more locations than just branch locations.
744
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
745
revno:N:branch. For example,
746
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
747
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
749
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
750
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
751
the path of a file that has been versioned.
752
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
753
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
754
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
755
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
756
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
759
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
760
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
761
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
764
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
765
(Alexander Belchenko)
767
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
769
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
772
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
773
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
774
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
775
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
776
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
779
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
780
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
781
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
782
grained analysis of performance.
783
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
785
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
786
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
788
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
789
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
790
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
791
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
792
file. (Robert Collins).
794
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
795
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
796
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
798
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
799
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
802
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
803
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
805
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
806
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
807
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
808
the same way you would apply another branch.
809
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
811
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
812
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
814
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
817
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
820
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
821
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
822
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
824
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
825
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
826
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
828
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
829
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
831
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
832
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
833
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
834
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
835
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
837
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
838
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
840
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
841
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
842
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
843
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
844
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
845
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
846
branch is as much as 4x faster.
847
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
849
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
850
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
851
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
855
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
856
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
859
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
860
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
862
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
863
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
865
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
866
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
868
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
870
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
873
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
874
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
876
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
877
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
880
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
881
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
883
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
884
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
886
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
887
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
888
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
889
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
891
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
892
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
894
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
896
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
897
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
899
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
901
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
903
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
904
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
906
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
907
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
909
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
910
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
911
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
913
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
914
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
915
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
917
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
918
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
920
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
921
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
923
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
924
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
926
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
927
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
929
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
930
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
932
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
933
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
934
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
936
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
938
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
939
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
943
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
944
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
945
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
947
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
948
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
950
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
951
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
952
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
954
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
955
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
957
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
958
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
961
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
962
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
963
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
965
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
966
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
967
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
969
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
970
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
971
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
973
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
974
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
975
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
977
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
978
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
979
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
981
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
982
instead. (Robert Collins)
984
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
990
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
996
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
997
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
999
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1000
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1002
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1003
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1004
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1008
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1010
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1011
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1013
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1017
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1018
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1019
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1020
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1024
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1025
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1026
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1030
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1031
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1032
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1036
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1037
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1041
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1043
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1044
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1045
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1046
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1047
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1048
will keep the same format.
1050
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1051
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1052
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1053
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1054
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1056
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1057
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1058
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1059
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1060
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1061
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1062
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1064
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1065
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1066
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1067
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1068
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1070
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1071
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1072
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1078
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1079
convention. Paths now take the form:
1080
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1082
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1084
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1085
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1087
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1088
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1089
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1091
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1092
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1093
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1094
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1096
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1097
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1100
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1102
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1104
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1105
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
1106
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1107
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1110
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1112
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1113
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1114
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1117
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1119
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1121
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1124
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1125
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1127
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1128
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1131
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1132
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1135
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1137
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1139
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1140
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1142
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1143
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1144
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1145
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1146
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1147
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1149
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1151
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1152
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1155
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1156
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1158
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1159
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1161
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1163
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1164
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1165
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1166
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1167
specification by Martin Pool.
1168
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1170
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1173
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1174
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1176
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1177
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1178
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1180
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1182
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1183
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1188
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1189
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1191
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1193
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1195
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1198
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1199
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1200
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1201
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1205
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1206
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1207
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1208
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1210
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1211
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1212
tried. (Martin Pool)
1214
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1217
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1219
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1220
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1221
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1223
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1224
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1226
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1227
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1228
paths. (Robert Collins)
1230
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1231
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1232
needs. (Robert Collins)
1234
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1235
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1236
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1238
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1239
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1241
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1244
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1247
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1249
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1251
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1252
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1253
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1256
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1257
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1259
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1260
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1261
check. (Robert Collins)
1263
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1264
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1268
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1269
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1271
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1272
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1273
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1274
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1276
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1277
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1278
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1279
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1280
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1282
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1283
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1284
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1286
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1288
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1289
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1295
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1296
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1298
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1299
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1300
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1303
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1304
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1306
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1307
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1308
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1309
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1310
(John Arbash Meinel)
1312
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1313
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1314
used. (Robert Collins)
1316
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1317
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1320
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1321
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1322
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1324
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1327
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1328
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1332
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1333
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1335
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1337
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1339
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1340
tree. (Robert Collins)
1342
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1343
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1344
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1347
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1350
* Tweaks to short log printing
1352
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1355
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1356
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1358
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1359
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1361
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1362
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1364
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1365
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1366
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1368
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1369
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1371
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1372
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1375
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1376
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1378
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1379
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1381
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1382
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1384
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1387
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1388
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1390
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1391
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1393
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1394
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1395
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1399
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1401
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1403
* Error when run with -OO
1405
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1408
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1410
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1412
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1413
ignored by diff and status
1415
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1416
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1418
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1420
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1422
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1423
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1425
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1426
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1428
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1431
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1432
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1434
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1436
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1437
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1439
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1442
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1445
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1449
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1450
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1452
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1454
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1456
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1458
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1459
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1460
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1462
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1464
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1465
(John Arbash Meinel)
1467
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1469
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1470
If adding a new test script please add that to
1471
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1473
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1474
imported. (Martin Pool)
1476
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1477
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1478
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1479
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1480
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1483
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1484
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1485
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1487
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1488
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1489
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1491
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1492
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1493
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1494
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1495
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1498
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1499
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1504
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1505
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1507
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1508
function. (Robert Collins)
1510
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1511
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1512
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1514
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1515
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1517
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1518
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1519
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1520
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1521
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1522
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1523
version. (Robert Collins)
1525
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1526
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1528
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1529
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1530
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1531
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1532
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1533
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1535
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1538
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1546
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1548
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1550
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1553
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1554
query method. (Robert Collins)
1556
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1559
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1562
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1566
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1567
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1568
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1569
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1571
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1572
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1573
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1574
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1576
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1577
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1583
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1586
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1590
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1591
a separator, not ':'.
1594
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1595
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1596
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1598
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1599
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1602
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1603
has been added that suppresses all output.
1605
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1608
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1609
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1611
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1612
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1614
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1615
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1617
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1618
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1619
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1620
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1622
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1624
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1625
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1627
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1628
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1630
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1631
output directory, if one was supplied.
1633
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1634
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1635
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1636
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1638
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1640
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1641
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1643
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1644
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1645
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1647
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1648
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1650
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1653
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1655
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1659
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1660
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1661
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1663
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1664
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1665
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1667
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1668
is given. (Martin Pool)
1670
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1671
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1672
file. (Robert Collins)
1674
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1679
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1680
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1681
representation. (Martin Pool).
1683
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1684
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1685
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1687
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1690
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1691
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1694
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1695
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1696
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1697
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1698
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1700
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1701
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1702
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1703
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1704
python path. (Robert Collins)
1706
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1707
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1708
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1709
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1711
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1712
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1714
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1715
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1718
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1719
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1720
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1722
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1723
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1724
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1726
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1727
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1729
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1730
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1731
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1734
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1735
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1736
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1737
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1740
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1743
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1744
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1747
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1748
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1749
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1751
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1752
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1753
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1755
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1756
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1757
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1759
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1760
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1762
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1763
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1764
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1765
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1766
caller. (Robert Collins)
1768
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1769
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1772
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1773
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1775
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1777
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1778
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1782
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1783
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1785
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1786
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1789
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1793
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1794
allow directories to be listed.
1796
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1797
upgrading branch format.
1801
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1808
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1809
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1810
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1811
high-latency connections.
1815
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1818
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1819
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1821
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1822
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1823
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1824
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1826
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1827
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1829
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1830
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1832
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1833
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1834
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1836
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1837
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1838
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1841
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1842
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1844
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1845
different partial views of history.
1847
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1848
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1852
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1853
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1854
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1856
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1857
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1860
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1861
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1863
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1866
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1867
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1869
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1870
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1871
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1872
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1874
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1876
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1877
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1880
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1881
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1883
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1884
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1885
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1890
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1891
for your viewing pleasure.
1893
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1894
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1896
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1897
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1898
handling of such circumstances.
1903
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1904
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1906
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1907
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1910
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1914
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1916
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1919
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1921
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1923
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1924
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1928
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1929
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1931
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1932
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1933
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1934
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1937
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1938
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1942
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1944
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1945
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1948
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1952
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1953
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1954
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1955
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1958
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1961
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1962
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1963
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1964
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1965
for the operating system is still tried.
1967
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1968
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1969
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1974
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1978
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1980
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1983
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1989
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1991
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1994
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
1998
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
1999
help with intelligent shell completion.
2001
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2006
* Much better merge support.
2008
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2009
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2015
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2016
mention revisions that are not present.
2018
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2020
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2022
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2023
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2028
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2030
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2031
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2037
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2038
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2043
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2047
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2048
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2050
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2052
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2053
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2055
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2058
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2060
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2063
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2064
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2066
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2067
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2068
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2073
* Faster working tree operations.
2078
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2079
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2080
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2081
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2083
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2084
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2085
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2086
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2087
standard plugins directory.
2089
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2090
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2091
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2092
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2094
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2095
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2097
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2100
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2101
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2102
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2104
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2105
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2107
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2108
line options must come before the command name because they
2109
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2110
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2113
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2115
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2116
is available with ``--short``.
2121
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2124
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2128
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2129
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2131
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2132
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2133
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2134
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2136
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2137
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2138
with the ``--forward`` option.
2140
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2141
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2147
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2148
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2150
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2152
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2153
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2155
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2157
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2158
either read or write mode.
2160
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2162
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2165
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2167
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2168
suggested by LarstiQ.
2170
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2171
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2173
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2176
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2177
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2179
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2180
haven't changed since the previous time.
2182
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2183
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2185
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2187
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2189
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2190
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2192
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2193
options through to an external GNU diff.
2195
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2198
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2204
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2205
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2207
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2213
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2214
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2217
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2218
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2220
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2221
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2223
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2224
under a different version.
2226
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2231
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2233
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2234
Scott James Remnant.
2236
* Better help messages for many commands.
2238
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2239
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2241
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2242
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2244
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2246
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2248
* New AtomicFile class.
2250
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2255
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2256
2.4 is now only recommended.
2259
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2263
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2264
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2266
* More default ignore patterns.
2268
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2269
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2271
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2273
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2276
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2281
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2282
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2283
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2284
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2285
there are DNS problems.
2287
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2292
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2294
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2296
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2297
trailing newlines properly.
2302
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2305
* More tests in test.sh.
2307
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2308
directory and delete it when done.
2310
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2315
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2318
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2322
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2326
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2329
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2331
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2334
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2337
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2339
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2343
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2344
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2349
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2350
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2355
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2359
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2366
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
2369
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
2373
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
2375
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
2376
rather than replacing it.
2378
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
2382
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
2385
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
2386
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
2388
* Performance improvements.
2390
* New global --profile option.
2392
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
2393
the root directory only.
2396
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
2400
* More information from info command.
2402
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
2404
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
2405
committing to stores.
2407
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
2411
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
2415
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
2416
installation easier.
2418
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
2422
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
2426
* First public release.
