Changelog from last time (the last one was done on 2007-14-12) :-
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
CHANGES:
* The syntax bzr diff branch1 branch2 is no longer
supported. Use bzr diff branch1 --new branch2 instead. This change has
been made to remove the ambiguity where branch2 is in fact a specific
file to diff within branch1.
FEATURES:
* New option to use custom template-based formats in bzr
version-info. (Lukáš Lalinský)
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used
for files. (Aaron Bentley)
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also
supports criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
IMPROVEMENTS:
* annotate now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš
Lalinský, #90049)
* branch and checkout can now use files from a working
tree to to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
* bzr diff now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
* bzr diff now works on branches without working trees.
Tree-less branches can also be compared to each other and to working
trees using the new diff options --old and --new. Diffing between
branches, with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering
as well. (Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
* bzr pack now orders revision texts in topological order,
with newest at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for bzr
log and the like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target
branch if needed. (Aaron Bentley)
* pycurl now handles digest authentication. (Vincent Ladeuil)
* reconfigure can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
* -l is now a short form for --limit in log. (Matt Nordhoff)
* merge now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
(Aaron Bentley)
* split now supported, to enable splitting large trees
into smaller pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
BUGFIXES:
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository
when an error occurs. (Martin Pool, #180208)
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range
requests. (Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a
file has been moved. (Aaron Bentley)
* commit now succeeds when a checkout and its master
branch share a repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
log --timezone. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ignored when the output
is redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over
the smart protocol on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
* Fix urlutils.relative_url for the case of two file:///
URLs pointed to different logical drives on Windows. (Alexander
Belchenko, #90847)
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http
protocol version 1.1. (Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests
for ghosts correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect
parents to ghosts. (Aaron Bentley)
* merge --weave --uncommitted now works. (Aaron Bentley)
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and
incomplete. Fix handling of user:pass embedded in the urls. (Vincent
Ladeuil, #177643)
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other
conflict types. (Aaron Bentley, #177390)
* reconfigure is able to convert trees into lightweight
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running bzr serve.
(Andrew Bennetts, #148087)
* Test that the old version_info_format functions still
work, even though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq,
#177872)
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors
(Aaron Bentley, #137681)
* uncommit works even when the commit messages of
revisions to be removed use characters not supported in the terminal
encoding. (Aaron Bentley)
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the
requested ranges, read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid
overflowing network buffers. (Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
DOCUMENTATION:
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration
documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User
Guide and added to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4
sections as a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings,
Conflicts and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format
in the doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing
that information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
* Using Bazaar with Launchpad tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
INTERNALS:
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and
WorkingTrees. (Aaron Bentley)
* Help topics can now be loaded from files. (Ian
Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output.
(Aaron Bentley)
* Parent Providers should now implement get_parent_map
returning a dictionary instead of get_parents returning a list.
get_parents is now considered deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as
long as they support hash(). (John Arbash Meinel)
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by
memoization. (Vincent Ladeuil)
API BREAKS:
TESTING:
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a
load_tests attribute. pydoc
bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule for the
documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
* New helper function bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re which
helps filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests
id. (Robert Collins)
* New helper function bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance
which helps filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
* New helper function
bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition which generalises the
exclude_suite_by_re function. (Robert Collins)
* New helper function
bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition which generalises the
filter_suite_by_re function. (Robert Collins)
* New helper method bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re which
gives a new TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that
matched a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
* New helper method bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite which
returns a randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
* New helper method bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re which
splits a test suite into two according to a regular expression.
(Robert Collins)
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport
implementations, the http protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the
authentication schemes. (Vincent Ladeuil)
* The exclude_pattern and random_order parameters to the
function bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re have been deprecated. (Robert
Collins)
* The method bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re has been
deprecated. It is replaced by the new helper methods added in this
release. (Robert Collins)
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14

* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User
Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
* Minor edits to Bazaar in five minutes from David Roberts
and to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley. (Ian
Clatworthy)
