2484.1.25 by John Arbash Meinel
[merge] bzr.dev 2612
135
    * Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
136
      version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
137
      Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
138
      read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
139
      ``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown.  (John Arbash Meinel)

      about 10%).
2474.1.67 by John Arbash Meinel
Add NEWS entries for performance improvements.
152
      ``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all

      ``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
154
      particular entry in the in-memory DirState).

      entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
173
2652.1.2 by John Arbash Meinel
NEWS entry for both fixes
174
    * Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
175
      times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
176
      Meinel)
177
178
    * Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
179
      ``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
180
      ``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
181
      a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
182
2654.2.1 by Ian Clatworthy
Dump profiling data for KCacheGrind if the filename starts with callgrind.out
183
    * The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
184
      the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
185
      filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
186
2655.1.4 by John Arbash Meinel
NEWS entry for update, partial fix for bug #128076
187
    * Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
188
      ``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
189
      to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)

      comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
196
      is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
197
      change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
198
      topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
199

    * The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
229
      rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple

231

Cleanup docs.
259
    * New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
260
      used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
261
      index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
262
      same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
263
      such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
264
      index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow

2617.6.2 by Robert Collins
Add abort_write_group and wire write_groups into fetch and commit.
314
    * New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
315
      ``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
316
      which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
317
      where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
318
      available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
319
      a series of data insertions.  (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2617.6.1 by Robert Collins

    * In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
322
      3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to

      describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into 
324
      many files. (Robert Collins)
325
326
    * ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
327
      with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
328
      The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
329
      current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)

    * The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
510
      ``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
511
      backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
512
      URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
513
      may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the

    * Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
535
536
    * Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and

  TESTING:
566
567
    * Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
568
      directories as they're used.  This reduces the IO load from 
569
      running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.

Document repository_to_test_repository for testing.
579
    * Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
580
      test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
581
      testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
582
      concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
583
      by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
584
      attribute during the test parameterisation in
585
      ``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)

615
  NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
616
617
    * The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
618
      longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
619
      impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
620
      an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
621
      particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
622
      fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
623
      and unlock() like so::
624
625
        work_tree.lock_read()
626
        try:
627
            kind = work_tree.kind(...)
628
        finally:
629
            work_tree.unlock()

2466.8.1 by Kent Gibson
Reworked LogFormatter API to simplify extending the attributes of the revision being logged. Added support for begin_log() and end_log() hooks in LogFormatters.
631
  INTERNALS:
632
    * Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
633
      encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
634
      object.
635
      In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
636
      is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
637
      revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
638
2495.3.1 by John Arbash Meinel
(Robert Collins) Add a BranchBuilder API for use by the test suite.
639
    * New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular

675
      We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around

    * HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1089
      bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1090
      redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1091
      silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1092
      performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1093
      default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1094
      users needing to follow http redirections anyway,

Remote Branch.get_transaction and friends.
1112
    * Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of

Make the dirstate API changes be prominently documented for upgraders.
1202
  SURPRISES:
1203
2255.2.237 by Robert Collins
Update NEWS and clean out BRANCH.TODO.
1204
    * The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1205
      working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1206
      operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1207
      versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1208
      bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1209
      as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1210
2255.7.53 by Robert Collins
Make the dirstate API changes be prominently documented for upgraders.
1211
    * For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1212
      api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1213
      the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of

1214
      ``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1215
      and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1216
      to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1217
      development.
1218
      (Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2255.2.236 by Martin Pool
Review cleanups: mostly updating or removing todo comments.
1219
2255.7.53 by Robert Collins
Make the dirstate API changes be prominently documented for upgraders.
1220
    * For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1221
      readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1222
      its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1223
      unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1224
      format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1225
      cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1226
      combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert

1234
    * ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1235
      In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1236
      exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1237
      already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1238
      does exist.
1239
      A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1551.10.16 by Aaron Bentley
update NEWS
1240
      exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1241
      and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1242
      will only update the Bazaar identifier.

      finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1366
      of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1367

1369
      You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create

    * Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2069
      It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2070
      But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.

      (John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2072
2073
    * Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2074
      At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2075
      BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2076
      But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.

2428
2429
  NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2430
2431
    Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2432
    'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7.  Local 
1692.7.10 by Martin Pool
Typo in NEWS
2433
    and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves.  Several
1692.7.8 by Martin Pool
Add additional explanation to NEWS
2434
    operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a 
2435
    --format option that controls this.  Branching from an existing branch
2436
    will keep the same format.
2437
2438
    It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2439
    formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2440
    branches.  It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2441
    upgrade all branches for a project at the same time.  Information on
2442
    formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2443
2444
    bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history 
2445
    of files and revisions for several branches.  Previously bzr kept all
2446
    the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2447
    branch, and this is still the default.  To create a repository, use
2448
    the new 'bzr init-repo' command.  Branches exist as directories under
2449
    the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2450
    indicating the current revision of the branch.
2451
2452
    bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2453
    subversion.  Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2454
    repository), which contains all the historical information.  The
2455
    result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1692.7.11 by Martin Pool
(patch) Mention update command in NEWS (Matthieu Moy)
2456
    already-committed revisions.  A new 'update' command is also available. 
1692.7.8 by Martin Pool
Add additional explanation to NEWS
2457
2458
    Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2459
    format.  To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2460
    'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2461
    arrangement.

  IMPROVEMENTS:
3370
3371
    * Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3372
      implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3373
      you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
