Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they’ll just
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
Michael Ellerman.
Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default.
(Nir Soffer)
If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
for the operating system is still tried.
Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
Internals
Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
Bug Fixes
Fixed ‘bzr mv’ by Ollie Rutherfurd.
Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
branch.
Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can’t be
read.
Portability
Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
bzr-0.0.7
Released:
2005-09-02
New Features
bzrshell-complete command contributed by Clint Adams to
help with intelligent shell completion.
New expert command bzrfind-merge-base for debugging merges.
Enhancements
Much better merge support.
merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like ‘<<<<<<<’
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
like emacs smerge.
Bug Fixes
bzrupgrade no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
mention revisions that are not present.
Fixed bugs in listing plugins from bzrplugins.
Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
Changes
bzrlog--show-ids shows the revision ids of all parents.
Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
to recognize –bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
–help themselves.
Library
Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
libraries.
bzr-0.0.6
Released:
2005-08-18
New Features
Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
New ‘bzr mkdir’ command.
Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
bzradd with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
bzrmv does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
the Unix command.
bzrmissing command shows a summary of the differences
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
Enhancements
Faster working tree operations.
Changes
3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there’s a standard
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
standard plugins directory.
When exporting to a tarball with bzrexport--formattgz, put
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
current directory. This can be overridden with the --root
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
New bzrupgrade command to upgrade the format of a branch,
replacing bzrcheck--update.
Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
disk.
Changed bzrlog output to a more compact form suggested by
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the --long or
-l option, patched by William Dodé.
By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
no changes unless the --unchanged option is given.
The --no-plugins, --profile and --builtin command
line options must come before the command name because they
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
it.
branch and clone added as aliases for branch.
Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
is available with --short.
Bug Fixes
Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
bzr-0.0.5
Released:
2005-06-15
Changes
bzr with no command now shows help rather than giving an
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
bzrstatus output format changed, because svn-style output
doesn’t really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
status and can be shown with their IDs. bzrstatus--all
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
bzrlog runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
with the --forward option.
bzrinventory by default shows only filenames, and also ids
if --show-ids is given, in which case the id is the second
field.
Enhancements
New ‘bzr whoami –email’ option shows only the email component
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
New bzrignorePATTERN command.
Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
conditions that don’t indicate an internal error.
Add .*.sw[nop].git.*.tmp*,v to default ignore patterns.
Per-branch locks keyed on .bzr/branch-lock, available in
either read or write mode.
New option bzrlog--show-ids shows revision and file ids.
New usage bzrlogFILENAME shows only revisions that
affected that file.
Changed format for describing changes in bzrlog-v.
New option bzrcommit--file to take a message from a file,
suggested by LarstiQ.
New syntax bzrstatus[FILE...] contributed by Bartosz
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
bzrlog and bzrroot can be given an http URL instead of
a filename.
Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
New “stat cache” avoids reading the contents of files if they
haven’t changed since the previous time.
If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
New optional parameter bzrinfo[BRANCH].
New form bzrcommitSELECTED to commit only selected files.
New form bzrlog-rFROM:TO shows changes in selected
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
New option bzrdiff--diff-options'OPTS' allows passing
options through to an external GNU diff.
New option bzradd--no-recurse to add a directory but not
their contents.
bzr--version now shows more information if bzr is being run
from a branch.
Bug Fixes
Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
metacharacters.
Testing
Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
now run using ./testbzr. Various structural improvements to
the tests.
testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
required to check is just ./testbzr.
testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
under a different version.
Tests added for many other changes in this release.
Internal
Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
Scott James Remnant.
Better help messages for many commands.
Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
New AtomicFile class.
New developer commands added, modified.
Portability
Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2.4 is now only recommended.
bzr-0.0.4
Released:
2005-04-22
Enhancements
‘bzr diff’ optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
More default ignore patterns.
New ‘bzr log –verbose’ shows a list of files changed in the
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
Command abbreviations ‘ci’, ‘st’, ‘stat’, ‘?’ based on a patch
by Jason Diamon.
New ‘bzr help commands’ based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
Changes
User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host’s
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
there are DNS problems.
New ‘bzr whoami’ command instead of username user-email.
Bug Fixes
Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
Some Unicode/locale fixes.
Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
trailing newlines properly.
Internal
Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
Matt Brubeck.
More tests in test.sh.
Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
directory and delete it when done.
Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
Portability
Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
Bennetts.
Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
from QuantumG.
bzr-0.0.3
Released:
2005-04-06
Enhancements
New “directories” internal command lists versioned directories
in the tree.
Can now say “bzr commit –help”.
New “rename” command to rename one file to a different name
and/or directory.
New “move” command to move one or more files into a different
directory.
New “renames” command lists files renamed since base revision.
New cat command contributed by janmar.
Changes
.bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
will do for now.)
Portability
Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
Nielsen.
Internal
Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
Testing
Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
bzr-0.0.2.1
Portability
Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
bzr-0.0.2
Codename:
“black cube”
Released:
2005-03-31
Enhancements
Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
rather than replacing it.
Ignore list isn’t reread for every file.
More help topics.
Reinstate the ‘bzr check’ command to check invariants of the
branch.
New ‘ignored’ command lists which files are ignored and why;
‘deleted’ lists files deleted in the current working tree.
Performance improvements.
New global –profile option.
Ignore patterns like ‘./config.h’ now correctly match files in
the root directory only.
bzr-0.0.1
Released:
2005-03-26
Enhancements
More information from info command.
Can now say “bzr help COMMAND” for more detailed help.
Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
committing to stores.
More useful verbose output from some commands.
Bug Fixes
Fix inverted display of ‘R’ and ‘M’ during ‘commit -v’.
Portability
Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
installation easier.
Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
supported).
bzr-0.0.0.69
Released:
2005-03-22
Enhancements
First public release.
Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
diff, status, etc.
