NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
29
(Robert Collins)
30
31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
34
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
37
38
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
39
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
40
(Aaron Bentley)
41
42
PERFORMANCE:
43
44
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
45
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
46
47
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
48
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
49
50
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
51
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
52
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
53
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
54
55
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
56
(Robert Collins)
57
58
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
59
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
60
61
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
62
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
63
64
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
65
the contents. (Robert Collins)
66
67
IMPROVEMENTS:
68
69
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
70
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
71
72
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
73
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
74
75
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
76
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
77
78
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
79
(Martin Pool, #63894)
80
81
BUG FIXES:
82
83
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
84
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
85
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
86
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
87
88
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
89
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
90
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
91
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
92
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
93
94
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
95
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
96
paramiko.
97
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
98
99
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
100
101
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
102
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
103
104
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
105
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
106
107
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
108
contains a symbolic link.
109
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
110
111
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
112
(James Westby, #140615)
113
114
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
115
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
117
118
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
119
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
120
(Martin Pool, #144633)
121
122
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
124
125
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
126
will remain opened.
127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
128
129
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
130
directory to detect leaking tests.
131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
132
133
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
134
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
135
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
136
137
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
138
(Rob Weir, #141629)
139
140
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
141
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
142
143
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
144
Merwe)
145
146
API BREAKS:
147
148
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
149
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
150
151
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
152
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
153
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
154
155
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
156
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
157
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
158
159
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
160
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
161
162
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
163
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
164
165
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
166
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
167
(Martin Pool)
168
169
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
170
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
171
172
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
173
class that needs it.
174
(Martin Pool)
175
176
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
177
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
178
179
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
180
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
181
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
182
183
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
184
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
185
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
186
(Robert Collins)
187
188
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
189
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
190
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
191
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
192
(Robert Collins)
193
194
INTERNALS:
195
196
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
197
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
198
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
201
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
202
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
203
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
204
205
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
206
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
207
(Robert Collins)
208
209
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
210
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
211
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
212
213
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
214
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
215
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
216
217
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
218
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
219
220
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
221
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
222
to complete. (Robert Collins)
223
224
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
225
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
226
227
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
228
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
229
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
230
231
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
232
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
233
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
234
235
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
236
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
237
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
238
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
239
240
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
241
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
242
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
243
returned. (Robert Collins)
244
245
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
246
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
247
248
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
249
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
250
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
251
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
252
(Robert Collins)
253
254
TESTING:
255
256
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
257
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
258
259
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
260
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
261
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
262
makes this behavior available to other users.
263
(Martin Pool)
264
265
266
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
267
===================
268
269
BUG FIXES:
270
271
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
272
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
273
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
274
275
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
276
277
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
278
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
279
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
280
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
281
282
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
283
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
284
(Andrew Bennetts)
285
286
287
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
288
======================
289
290
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
291
in bzrlib/remote.py.
292
293
294
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
295
======================
296
297
CHANGES:
298
299
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
300
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
301
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
302
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
303
(Martin Pool)
304
305
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
306
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
307
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
308
(Ian Clatworthy)
309
310
FEATURES:
311
312
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
313
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
314
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
315
(Lukáš Lalinský)
316
317
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
318
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
319
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
320
321
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
322
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
323
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
324
325
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
326
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
327
328
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
329
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
330
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
331
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
332
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
333
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
334
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
335
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
336
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
337
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
338
339
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
340
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
341
342
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
343
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
344
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
345
346
BUG FIXES:
347
348
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
349
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
350
351
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
352
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
353
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
354
355
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
356
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
357
358
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
359
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
360
361
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
362
(Aaron Bentley)
363
364
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
365
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
366
367
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
368
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
369
370
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
371
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
372
373
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
374
(Blake Winton, #129299)
375
376
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
377
378
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
379
Watkins, #106726)
380
381
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
382
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
383
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
384
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
385
386
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
387
388
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
389
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
390
#133548)
391
392
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
393
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
394
395
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
396
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
397
#116143)
398
399
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
400
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
401
402
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
403
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
404
405
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
406
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
407
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
408
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
409
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
410
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
411
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
412
413
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
414
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
415
416
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
417
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
418
419
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
420
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
421
422
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
423
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
424
425
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
426
connections.
427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
428
429
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
430
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
431
432
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
433
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
434
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
435
436
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
437
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
438
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
439
440
IMPROVEMENTS:
441
442
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
443
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
444
445
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
446
(Aaron Bentley)
447
448
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
449
(Aaron Bentley)
450
451
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
452
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
453
454
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
455
456
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
457
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
458
459
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
460
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
461
462
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
463
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
464
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
465
space). (Robert Collins)
466
467
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
468
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
469
(Ian Clatworthy)
470
471
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
472
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
473
474
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
475
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
476
477
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
478
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
479
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
480
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
481
482
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
483
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
484
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
485
(Lukáš Lalinský)
486
487
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
488
(Ian Clatworthy)
489
490
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
491
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
492
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
493
494
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
495
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
496
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
497
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
498
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
499
500
API BREAKS:
501
502
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
503
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
504
505
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
506
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
507
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
508
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
509
affected. (Robert Collins)
510
511
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
512
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
513
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
514
(Robert Collins)
515
516
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
517
previous release. (Martin Pool)
518
519
TESTING:
520
521
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
522
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
523
524
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
525
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
526
527
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
528
previous release. (Martin Pool)
529
530
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
531
(Aaron Bentley)
532
533
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
534
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
535
536
INTERNALS:
537
538
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
539
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
540
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
541
its version information. (Robert Collins)
542
543
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
544
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
545
546
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
547
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
548
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
549
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
550
551
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
552
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
553
present. (Robert Collins)
554
555
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
556
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
557
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
558
API. (Robert Collins)
559
560
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
561
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
562
(Robert Collins)
563
564
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
565
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
566
567
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
568
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
569
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
570
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
571
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
572
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
573
574
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
575
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
576
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
577
578
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
579
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
580
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
581
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
582
protocol.
583
584
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
585
(Aaron Bentley)
586
587
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
588
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
589
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
590
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
591
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
592
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
593
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
594
595
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
596
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
597
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
598
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
599
600
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
601
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
602
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
603
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
604
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
605
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
606
607
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
608
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
609
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
610
611
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
612
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
613
614
615
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
616
===================
617
618
IMPROVEMENTS:
619
620
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
621
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
622
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
623
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
624
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
625
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
626
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
627
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
628
629
630
API CHANGES:
631
632
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
633
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
634
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
635
636
637
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
638
======================
639
640
BUGFIXES:
641
642
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
643
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
644
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
645
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
646
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
647
648
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
650
651
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
652
anymore.
653
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
654
655
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
656
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
657
(Vincent Ladeuil)
658
659
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
660
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
661
#111664)
662
663
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
664
(Lukáš Lalinský)
665
666
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
667
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
668
669
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
670
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
671
672
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
673
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
674
675
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
676
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
677
678
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
679
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
680
681
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
682
(Aaron Bentley)
683
684
IMPROVEMENTS:
685
686
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
687
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
688
689
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
690
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
691
692
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
693
the repository (Robert Collins)
694
695
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
696
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
697
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
698
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
699
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
700
701
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
702
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
703
704
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
705
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
706
(John Arbash Meinel)
707
708
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
709
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
710
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
711
about 10%).
712
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
713
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
714
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
715
(John Arbash Meinel)
716
717
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
718
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
719
(Robert Collins)
720
721
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
722
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
723
724
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
725
(Ian Clatworthy)
726
727
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
728
729
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
730
731
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
732
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
733
734
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
735
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
736
Meinel)
737
738
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
739
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
740
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
741
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
742
743
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
744
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
745
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
746
747
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
748
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
749
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
750
751
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
752
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
753
754
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
755
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
756
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
757
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
758
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
759
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
760
(Ian Clatworthy)
761
762
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
763
(Alexander Belchenko)
764
765
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
766
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
767
768
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
769
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
770
771
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
772
773
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
774
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
775
776
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
777
778
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
779
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
780
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
781
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
782
783
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
784
785
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
786
(Robert Collins)
787
788
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
789
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
790
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
791
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
792
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
793
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
794
795
INTERNALS:
796
797
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
798
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
799
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
800
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
801
802
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
803
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
804
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
805
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
806
tests have been refactored too.
807
(Vincent Ladeuil)
808
809
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
810
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
811
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
812
list, it will.
813
(Vincent Ladeuil)
814
815
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
816
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
817
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
818
819
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
820
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
821
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
822
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
823
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
824
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
825
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
826
827
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
828
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
829
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
830
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
831
(John Arbash Meinel)
832
833
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
834
functionality for testing.
835
836
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
837
838
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
839
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
840
841
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
842
843
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
844
(Robert Collins)
845
846
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
847
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
848
849
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
850
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
851
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
852
853
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
854
(Aaron Bentley)
855
856
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
857
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
858
859
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
860
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
861
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
862
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
863
864
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
865
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
866
867
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
868
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
869
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
870
871
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
872
(Marius Kruger)
873
874
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
875
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
876
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
877
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
878
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
879
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
880
881
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
882
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
883
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
884
many files. (Robert Collins)
885
886
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
887
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
888
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
889
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
890
891
TESTING:
892
893
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
894
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
895
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
896
897
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
898
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
899
900
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
901
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
902
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
926
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
927
928
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
929
authentication header.
930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
931
932
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
933
934
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
935
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
936
937
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
938
939
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
941
942
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
943
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
944
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
945
946
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
947
individually and as part of revision ranges.
948
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
949
950
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
951
(Martin Pool, #109169)
952
953
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
954
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
955
956
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
957
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
958
959
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
960
961
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
962
963
IMPROVEMENTS:
964
965
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
966
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
967
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
968
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
969
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
970
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
971
972
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
973
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
974
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
975
976
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
977
(Elliot Murphy)
978
979
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
980
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
981
982
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
983
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
984
985
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
986
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
987
988
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
989
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
990
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
991
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
992
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
993
994
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
995
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
996
997
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
998
can be slow it is useful feedback).
999
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1000
1001
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1002
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1003
1004
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1005
1006
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1007
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1008
1009
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1010
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1011
(Robert Collins)
1012
1013
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1014
(Martin Pool)
1015
1016
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1017
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1018
1019
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1020
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1021
1022
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1023
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1024
1025
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1026
1027
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1028
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1029
1030
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1031
(Andrew Bennetts)
1032
1033
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1034
1035
* Testing cleanups -
1036
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1037
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1038
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1039
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1040
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1041
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1042
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1043
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1044
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1045
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1046
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1047
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1048
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1049
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1050
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1051
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1052
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1053
(Robert Collins)
1054
1055
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1056
1057
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1058
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1059
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1060
1061
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1062
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1063
1064
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1065
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1066
1067
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1068
1069
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1070
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1071
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1072
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1073
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1074
same location. (Robert Collins)
1075
1076
INTERNALS:
1077
1078
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1079
1080
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1081
1082
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1083
1084
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1085
(Martin Pool)
1086
1087
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1088
(Martin Pool)
1089
1090
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1091
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1092
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1093
1094
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1095
1096
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1097
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1098
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1099
1100
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1101
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1102
1103
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1104
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1105
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1106
1107
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1108
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1109
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1110
1111
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1112
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1113
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1114
1115
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1116
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1117
Martin Pool)
1118
1119
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1120
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1121
1122
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1123
(Alexander Belchenko)
1124
1125
TESTING:
1126
1127
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1128
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1129
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1130
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1131
1132
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1133
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1134
testing. (Robert Collins)
1135
1136
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1137
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1138
1139
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1140
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1141
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1142
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1143
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1144
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1145
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1146
1147
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1148
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1149
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1150
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1151
1152
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1153
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1154
1155
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1156
avoid useless cloning.

1173
=======================
1174
1175
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1176
1177
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1178
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1179
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1180
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1181
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1182
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1183
and unlock() like so::
1184
1185
work_tree.lock_read()
1186
try:
1187
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1188
finally:
1189
work_tree.unlock()
1190
1191
INTERNALS:
1192
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1193
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1194
object.
1195
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1196
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1197
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1198
1199
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1200
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1201
too. (Robert Collins)
1202
1203
IMPROVEMENTS:
1204
1205
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1206
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1207
Aaron Bentley)
1208
1209
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1210
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1211
1212
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1213
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1214
1215
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1216
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1217
understanding what changes have occurred
1218
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1219
1220
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1221
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1222
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1223
1224
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1225
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1226
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1227
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1228
1229
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1230
#56322)
1231
1232
BUGFIXES:
1233
1234
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1235
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1236
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1237
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1238
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1239
1240
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1241
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1242
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1243
1244
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1246
1247
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1248
into account.
1249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1250
1251
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1252
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1253
1254
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1255
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1256
1257
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1258
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1259
1260
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1261
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1262
1263
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1264
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1265
1266
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1267
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1268
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1271
====================
1272
1273
BUGFIXES:
1274
1275
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1276
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1277
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1278
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1279
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1280
1281
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1282
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1283
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1284
1285
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1286
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1287
1288
IMPROVEMENTS:
1289
1290
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1291
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1292
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1293
1294
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1295
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1296
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1297
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1300
=======================
1301
1302
BUGFIXES:
1303
1304
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1305
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1306
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1307
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1308
1309
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1310
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1311
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1312
1313
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1314
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1315
1316
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1317
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1318
1319
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1320
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1323
=======================
1324
1325
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1326
1327
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1328
it could be recovered again.
1329
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1330
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1331
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1332
but not delete it.
1333
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1334
files.
1335
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1336
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1337
1338
IMPROVEMENTS:
1339
1340
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1341
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1342
1343
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1344
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1345
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1346
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1347
1348
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1349
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1350
1351
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1352
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1353
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1354
1355
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1356
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1357
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1358
1359
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1360
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1361
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1364
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1365
Robert Collins)
1366
1367
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1368
Pool)
1369
1370
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1371
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1372
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1373
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1374
1375
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1376
(Robert Collins)
1377
1378
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1379
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1380
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.

1383
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1384
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1385
1386
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1387
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1388
1389
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1390
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1391
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1392
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1393
(Robert Collins)
1394
1395
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1396
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1397
1398
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1399
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1400
1401
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1402
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1403
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1404
1405
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1406
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1407
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1408
1409
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1410
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1411
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1414
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1415
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1416
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1417
1418
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1419
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1420
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1421
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1422
1423
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1424
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1425
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1426
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1427
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1428
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1429
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1430
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1431
header(s).
1432
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1433
1434
INTERNALS:
1435
1436
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1437
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1440
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1441
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1442
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1443
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1444
1445
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1446
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1447
1448
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1449
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1450
1451
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1452
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1453
1454
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1455
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1456
1457
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1458
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1459
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1460
(Robert Collins).
1461
1462
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1463
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1464
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1465
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1466
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1467
(Robert Collins)
1468
1469
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1470
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1471
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1472
1473
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1474
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1475
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1476
1477
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1478
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1479
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1480
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1481
1482
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1483
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1484
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1485
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1486
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1487
1488
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1489
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1490
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1491
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1492
1493
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1494
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1495
1496
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1497
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1498
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1499
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1500
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1501
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1502
1503
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1504
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1505
1506
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1507
help. (Robert Collins)
1508
1509
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1510
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1511
1512
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1513
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1514
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1515
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1516
(John Arbash Meinel)
1517
1518
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1519
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1520
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1521
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1522
useful. (Robert Collins)
1523
1524
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1525
(Andrew Bennetts)
1526
1527
BUGFIXES:
1528
1529
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1530
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1531
1532
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1533
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1534
1535
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1536
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1537
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1538
1539
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1540
(Aaron Bentley)
1541
1542
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1543
the file, and does it faster.
1544
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1545
1546
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1547
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1548
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1549
1550
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1551
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1552
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1553
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1554
1555
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1556
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1557
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1558
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1559
1560
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1561
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1562
1563
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1564
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1565
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1566
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1567
Arbash Meinel)
1568
1569
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1570
1571
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1572
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1573
1574
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1575
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1576
1577
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1578
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1579
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1580
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1581
security hole.
1582
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1583
1584
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1586
1587
TESTING:
1588
1589
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1590
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1591
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1592
1593
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1594
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1595
1596
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1597
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1598
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1599
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1600
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1601
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1602
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1603
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1604
1605
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1606
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1607
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1608
1609
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1610
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1611
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1612
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1613
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1614
access.
1615
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1616
1617
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1618
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1619
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1620
1621
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1622
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1638
=======================
1639
1640
CHANGES:
1641
1642
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1643
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1644
(Martin Pool)
1645
1646
IMPROVEMENTS:
1647
1648
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1649
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1650
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1651
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1652
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1653
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1654
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1655
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1656
path. (vila)
1657
1658
INTERNALS:
1659
1660
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1661
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1662
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1663
1664
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1665
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1666
(Martin Pool)
1667
1668
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1669
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1670
(John Arbash Meinel)
1671
1672
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1673
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1674
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1675
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1676
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1677
1678
BUGFIXES:
1679
1680
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1681
(vila, #92195)
1682
1683
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1684
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1685
1686
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1687
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1688
1689
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1690
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1691
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1692
1693
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1694
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1695
1696
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1697
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1698
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1699
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1700
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1701
1702
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1703
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1704
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1705
1706
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1710
=======================
1711
1712
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1713
1714
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1715
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1716
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1717
1718
IMPROVEMENTS:
1719
1720
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1721
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1722
1723
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1724
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1725
1726
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1727
1728
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1729
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1730
1731
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1732
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1733
1734
INTERNALS:
1735
1736
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1737
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1738
1739
BUGFIXES:
1740
1741
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1742
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1743
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1744
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1745
1746
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1747
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1748
1749
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1750
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1751
1752
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1753
(Marien Zwart)
1754
1755
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

1759
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1760
=======================
1761
1762
SURPRISES:
1763
1764
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1765
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1766
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1767
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1768
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1769
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1770
1771
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1772
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1773
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1774
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1775
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1776
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1777
development.
1778
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1779
1780
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1781
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1782
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1783
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1784
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1785
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1786
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1787
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1788
1789
IMPROVEMENTS:
1790
1791
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1792
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1793
1794
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1795
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1796
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1797
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1798
does exist.
1799
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1800
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1801
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1802
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1803
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1804
1805
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1806
(Aaron Bentley)
1807
1808
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1809
(Aaron Bentley)
1810
1811
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1812
(Robert Collins)
1813
1814
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1815
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1816
(Aaron Bentley)
1817
1818
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1819
(Aaron Bentley)
1820
1821
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1822
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1823
1824
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1825
directory. (Martin Pool)
1826
1827
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1828
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1829
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1830
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1831
1832
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1833
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1834
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1835
in docs/configuration.txt.
1836
1837
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1838
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1839
bind location.
1840
1841
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1842
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1843
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1844
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1845
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1846
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1847
1848
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1849
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1850
1851
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1852
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1853
1854
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1855
(Aaron Bentley)
1856
1857
INTERNALS:
1858
1859
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1860
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1861
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1862
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1863
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1864
(John Arbash Meinel)
1865
1866
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1867
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1868
(Aaron Bentley)
1869
1870
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1871
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1872
(John Arbash Meinel)
1873
1874
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1875
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1876
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1877
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1878
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1879
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1880
1881
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1882
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1883
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1884
1885
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1886
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1887
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1888
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1889
repository.
1890
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1891
1892
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1893
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1894
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1895
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1896
1897
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1898
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1899
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1900
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1901
1902
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1903
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1904
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1905
1906
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1907
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1908
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1909
1910
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1911
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1912
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1913
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1914
1915
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1916
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1917
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1918
1919
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1920
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1921
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1922
1923
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1924
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1925
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1926
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1927
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1928
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1929
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1930
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1931
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1934
1935
BUGFIXES:
1936
1937
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1938
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1939
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1940
1941
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1942
(Aaron Bentley)
1943
1944
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1945
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1946
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1947
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1948
1949
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1950
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1951
#83954).
1952
1953
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1954
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1955
1956
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1957
1958
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1959
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1960
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1961
1962
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1963
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1964
1965
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1966
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1967
1968
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1969
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1970

* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1972
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1973
1974
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)

1977
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)

1988
IMPROVEMENTS:
1989
1990
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1991
1992
BUG FIXES:
1993
1994
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1995
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1996
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1997
1998
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1999
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2000
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2003
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2004
=======================
2005
2006
IMPROVEMENTS:
2007
2008
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2009
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2010
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2011
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2012
2013
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2014
(Marius Kruger)
2015
2016
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2017
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2018
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2019
2020
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2021
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2022
2023
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2024
(Aaron Bentley)
2025
2026
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2027
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2028
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2029
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2030
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2031
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2032
2033
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2034
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2035
should enable you to do::
2036
2037
[/home/user/project]
2038
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2039
push_location:policy = appendpath
2040
2041
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2042
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2043
(James Henstridge)
2044
2045
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2046
for each file. For example::
2047
2048
$ bzr status --short
2049
A foo
2050
A bar
2051
D baz
2052
? wooley
2053
2054
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2055
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2056
2057
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2058
2059
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2060
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2061
2062
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2063
2064
INTERNALS:
2065
2066
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2067
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2068
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2069
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2070
2071
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2072
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2073
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2074
2075
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2076
2077
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2078
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2079
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2080
(Alexander Belchenko)
2081
2082
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2083
Pool)
2084
2085
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2086
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2087
2088
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2089
2090
BUG FIXES:
2091
2092
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2093
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2094
2095
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2096
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2097
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2098
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2099
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2100
2101
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2102
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2103
2104
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2105
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2106
2107
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2108
matcher.
2109
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2110
2111
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2112
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2113
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2114
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2115
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2116
2117
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2118
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2119
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2120
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2121
2122
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2123
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2124
2125
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2126
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2127
2128
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2129
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2144
2145
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2146
tree from a branch.
2147
(Daniel Silverstone)
2148
2149
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2150
operations are substantially faster.
2151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2152
2153
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2154
tree from some other url. For example:
2155
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2156
(Daniel Silverstone)
2157
2158
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2159
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2160
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2161
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2162
2163
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2164
(Andrew Bennetts)
2165
2166
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2167
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2168
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2169
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2170
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2171
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2172
2173
INTERNALS:
2174
2175
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2176
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2177
(Martin Pool)
2178
2179
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2180
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2181
(John Arbash Meinel)
2182
2183
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2184
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2185
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2186
(John Arbash Meinel)
2187
2188
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2189
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2190
2191
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2192
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2193
2194
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2195
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2196
Bennetts)
2197
2198
BUG FIXES:
2199
2200
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2201
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2202
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2203
2204
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2205
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2206
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2207
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2208
2209
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2210
2211
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2212
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2213
2214
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2215
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2216
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2218
2219
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2220
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2221
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2222
2223
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2224
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2225
them as full references rather than integers.
2226
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2227
2228
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2229
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2230
2231
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2232
2233
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2234
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2235
2236
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2237
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2238
2239
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2240
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2241
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2242
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2243
2244
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2245
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2246
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2247
2248
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2249
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2250
2251
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2252
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2253
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2254
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2255
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2256
2257
TESTING:
2258
2259
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2260
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2274
IMPROVEMENTS:
2275
2276
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2277
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2278
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2279
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2280
2281
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2282
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2285
2286
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2287
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2288
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2289
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2290
2291
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2292
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2293
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2294
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2295
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2296
2297
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2298
2299
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2300
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2301
2302
INTERNALS:
2303
2304
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2305
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2306
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2307
2308
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2309
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2310
(John Arbash Meinel)
2311
2312
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2313
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2314
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2315
2316
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2317
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2318
(Aaron Bentley)
2319
2320
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2321
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2322
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2323
2324
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2325
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2326
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2327
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2328
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2329
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2330
2331
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2332
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2333
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2334
(Robert Collins)
2335
2336
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2337
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2338
2339
BUG FIXES:
2340
2341
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2342
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2343
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2344
#63360, #66349)
2345
2346
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2347
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2348
2349
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2350
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2351
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2352
2353
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2354
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2355
2356
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2357
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2358
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2359
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2360
2361
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2362
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2363
2364
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2365
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2366
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2367
2368
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2369
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2370
2371
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2372
2373
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2374
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2375
#32054)
2376
2377
TESTING:
2378
2379
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2380
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2381
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2382
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2383
2384
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2385
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2386
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2387
2388
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

====================
2390
2391
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).

2394
=======================
2395
2396
BUG FIXES:
2397
2398
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2399
2400
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2401
Arbash Meinel).
2402
2403
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2404
=======================
2405
2406
IMPROVEMENTS:
2407
2408
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2409
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2410
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2411
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2412
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2413
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2414
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2415
2416
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2417
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2418
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2419
2420
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2421
2422
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2423
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2424
2425
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2426
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2427
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2428
(Robert Collins)
2429
2430
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2431
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2432
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2433
(John Arbash Meinel)
2434
2435
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2436
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2437
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2438
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2439
Pool)
2440
2441
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2442
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2443
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2444
(John Arbash Meinel)
2445
2446
BUG FIXES:
2447
2448
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2449
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2450
2451
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2452
2453
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2454
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2455
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2456
2457
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2458
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2459
2460
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2461
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2462
2463
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2465
2466
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2467
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2468
2469
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2470
2471
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2472
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2473
2474
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2475
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2476
2477
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2478
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2479
2480
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2481
(John Arbash Meinel)
2482
2483
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2484
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2485
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2486
2487
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2488
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2489
2490
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2491
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2492
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2493
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2494
2495
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2496
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2497
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2498
2499
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2500
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2501
2502
PORTABILITY:
2503
2504
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2505
2506
INTERNALS:
2507
2508
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2509
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2510
(John Arbash Meinel)
2511
2512
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2513
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2514
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2515
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2516
2517
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2518
(Andrew Bennetts)
2519
2520
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2521
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2522
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2523
2524
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2525
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2526
2527
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2528
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2529
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2530
2531
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2532
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2533
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2534
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2535
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2536
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2537
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2538
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2539
caller to repeat their request.
2540
(John Arbash Meinel)
2541
2542
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2543
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2544
2545
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2546
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2547
2548
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2549
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2550
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2551
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2552
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2553
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2554
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2555
2556
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2557
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2558
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2559
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2560
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2561
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2562
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2563
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2564
(Robert Collins)
2565
2566
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2567
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2568
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2569
2570
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2571
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2572
2573
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2574
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2575
2576
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2577
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2578
2579
TESTING:
2580
2581
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2582
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2583
2584
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2585
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2586
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2587
2588
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2589
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2590
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2591
2592
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2593
====================
2594
2595
IMPROVEMENTS:
2596
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2597
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2598
2599
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2600
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2601
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2602
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2603
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2604
2605
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2606
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2607
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2608
2609
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2610
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2611
2612
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2613
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2614
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2615
2616
BUG FIXES:
2617
2618
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2619
2620
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2621
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2622
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2623
2624
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2625
2626
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2627
2628
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2629
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2630
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2631
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2632
2633
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2634
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2635
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2636
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2637
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2638
2639
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2640
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2641
2642
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2643
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2644
2645
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2646
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2647
2648
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2649
in handling of revision properties.
2650
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2651
2652
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2653
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2654
2655
INTERNALS:
2656
2657
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2658
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2659
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2660
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2661
(John Arbash Meinel)
2662
2663
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2664
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2665
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2666
2667
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2668
=====================
2669
2670
SURPRISES:
2671
2672
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2673
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2674
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2675
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2676
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2677
a more conservative list than the old default.
2678
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2679
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2680
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2681
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2682
2683
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2684
to more locations than just branch locations.
2685
(Aaron Bentley)
2686
2687
IMPROVEMENTS:
2688
2689
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2690
revno:N:branch. For example,
2691
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2692
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2693
2694
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2695
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2696
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2697
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2698
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2699
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2700
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2701
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2702
#42517, #42514)
2703
2704
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2705
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2706
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2707
(Malone #3507)
2708
2709
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2710
(Alexander Belchenko)
2711
2712
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2713

* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2715
(Robert Collins).
2716
2717
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2718
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2719
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2720
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2721
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2722
(John Arbash Meinel)
2723
2724
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2725
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2726
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2727
grained analysis of performance.
2728
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2729
2730
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2731
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2732
2733
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2734
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2735
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2736
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2737
file. (Robert Collins).
2738
2739
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2740
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2741
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2742
2743
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2744
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2745
Matthieu Moy)
2746
2747
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2748
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2749
2750
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2751
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2752
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2753
the same way you would apply another branch.
2754
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2755
2756
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2757
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2758
2759
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2760
(Michael Ellerman)
2761
2762
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2763
(Aaron Bentley)
2764
2765
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2766
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2767
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2768
2769
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2770
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2771
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2772
2773
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2774
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2775
2776
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2777
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2778
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2779
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2780
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2781
2782
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2783
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2784
2785
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2786
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2787
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2788
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2789
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2790
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2791
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2792
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2793
2794
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2795
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2796
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2797
2798
BUG FIXES:
2799
2800
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2801
tests not to run.
2802
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2803
2804
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2805
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2806
2807
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2808
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2809
2810
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2811
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2812
2813
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2814
2815
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2816
(John Arbash Meinel)
2817
2818
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2819
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2820
2821
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2822
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2823
and y.
2824
2825
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2826
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2827
2828
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2829
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2830
2831
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2832
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2833
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2834
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2835
2836
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2837
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2838
2839
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2840
2841
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2842
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2843
2844
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2845
2846
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2847
2848
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2849
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2850
2851
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2852
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2853
2854
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2855
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2856
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2857
2858
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2859
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2860
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2861
2862
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2863
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2864
2865
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2866
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2867
2868
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2869
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2870
2871
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2872
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2873
2874
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2875
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2876
2877
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2878
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2879
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2880
2881
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2882
2883
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2884
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2885
2886
INTERNALS:
2887
2888
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2889
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2890
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2891
2892
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2893
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2894
2895
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2896
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2897
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2898
2899
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2900
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2901
2902
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2903
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2904
(Martin Pool)
2905
2906
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2907
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2908
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2909
2910
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2911
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2912
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2913
2914
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2915
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2916
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2917
2918
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2919
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2920
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2921
2922
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2923
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2924
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2925
2926
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2927
instead. (Robert Collins)
2928
2929
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2944
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2945
2946
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2947
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2948
2949
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2950
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
2963
2964
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2965

2967
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2968
2969
NEW FEATURES:
2970
2971
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

2986
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2987
===================
2988
2989
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2990
2991
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2992
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2993
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2994
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2995
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2996
will keep the same format.
2997
2998
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2999
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3000
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3001
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3002
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3003
3004
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3005
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3006
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3007
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3008
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3009
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3010
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3011
3012
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3013
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3014
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3015
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3016
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3017
3018
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3019
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3020
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3021
arrangement.
3022
3023
3024
IMPROVEMENTS:
3025
3026
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3027
convention. Paths now take the form::
3028
3029
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3030
or
3031
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3032
3033
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3034
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3035
3036
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3037
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3038
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3039
3040
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3041
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3042
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3043
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3044
3045
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3046
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3047
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3048
3049
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3050
3051
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3052
3053
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3054
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3055
commits::
3056
3057
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3058
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3059
| xargs bzr re-sign
3060
3061
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3062
3063
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3064
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3065
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3066
(Robert Collins)
3067
3068
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3069
3070
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3071
3072
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3073
'.moved'.
3074
3075
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3076
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3077
3078
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3079
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3080
Daniel Silverstone)
3081
3082
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3083
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3084
Martin Pool)
3085
3086
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3087
3088
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3089
3090
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3091
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3092
3093
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3094
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3095
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3096
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3097
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3098
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3099
3100
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3101
3102
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3103
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3104
(Robert Collins)
3105
3106
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3107
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3108
3109
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3110
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3111
3112
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3113
3114
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3115
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3116
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3117
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3118
specification by Martin Pool.
3119
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3120
3121
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3122
Belchenko)
3123
3124
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3125
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3126
3127
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3128
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3129
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3130
3131
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3132
3133
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3134
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3135
(Robert Collins)
3136
3137
CHANGES:
3138
3139
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3140
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3141
3142
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3143
3144
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3145
3146
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3147
(Olaf Conradi)
3148
3149
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3150
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3151
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3152
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3153
3154
INTERNALS:
3155
3156
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3157
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3158
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3159
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3160
3161
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3162
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3163
tried. (Martin Pool)
3164
3165
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3166
(Martin Pool)
3167
3168
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3169
3170
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3171
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3172
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3173
3174
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3175
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3176
3177
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3178
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3179
paths. (Robert Collins)
3180
3181
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3182
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3183
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3184
3185
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3186
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3187
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3188
3189
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3190
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3191
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3192
3193
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3194
(Olaf Conradi)
3195
3196
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3197
(Olaf Conradi)
3198
3199
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3200
3201
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3202
3203
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3204
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3205
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3206
(Robert Collins)
3207
3208
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3209
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3210
3211
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3212
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3213
check. (Robert Collins)
3214
3215
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3216
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3217
3218
TESTING:
3219
3220
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3221
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3222
3223
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3224
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3225
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3226
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3227
3228
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3229
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3230
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3231
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3232
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3233
3234
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3235
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3236
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3237
3238
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3239
3240
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3241
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3242
3243
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3244
==================
3245
3246
CHANGES:
3247
3248
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3249
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3250
3251
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3252
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3253
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3254
(Johan Rydberg)
3255
3256
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3257
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3258
3259
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3260
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3261
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3262
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3263
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3264
3265
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3266
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3267
used. (Robert Collins)
3268
3269
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3270
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3271
(James Henstridge)
3272
3273
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3274
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3275
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3276
3277
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3278
ignore list.
3279
3280
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3281
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3282
3283
IMPROVEMENTS:
3284
3285
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3286
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3287
3288
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3289
3290
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3291
3292
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3293
tree. (Robert Collins)
3294
3295
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3296
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3297
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3298
(Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3301
that they be kept.
3302
3303
* Tweaks to short log printing
3304
3305
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3306
(Aaron Bentley)
3307
3308
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3309
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3310
3311
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3312
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3313
3314
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3315
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3316
3317
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3318
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3319
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3320
3321
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3322
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3323
3324
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3325
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3326
requests.
3327
3328
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3329
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3330
3331
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3332
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3333
3334
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3335
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3336
3337
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3338
(Denys Duchier)
3339
3340
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3341
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3342
3343
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3344
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3345
3346
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3347
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3348
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3349
3350
BUG FIXES:
3351
3352
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3353
3354
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3355
3356
* Error when run with -OO
3357
3358
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3359
(Martin Pool)
3360
3361
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3362
3363
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3364
3365
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3366
ignored by diff and status
3367
3368
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3369
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3370
3371
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3372
3373
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3374
3375
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3376
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3377
3378
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3379
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3380
3381
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3382
(Harald Meland)
3383
3384
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3385
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3386
3387
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3388
3389
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3390
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3391
3392
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3393
(Martin Pool)
3394
3395
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3396
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3397
3398
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3399
3400
TESTING:
3401
3402
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3403
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3404
3405
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3406
3407
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3408
3409
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3410
3411
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3412
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3413
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3414
3415
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3416
3417
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3418
(John Arbash Meinel)
3419
3420
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3421
3422
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3423
If adding a new test script please add that to
3424
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3425
3426
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3427
imported. (Martin Pool)
3428
3429
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3430
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3431
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3432
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3433
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3434
(Robert Collins)
3435
3436
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3437
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3438
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3439
3440
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3441
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3442
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3443
3444
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3445
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3446
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3447
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3448
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3449
(Robert Collins).
3450
3451
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3452
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3453
(Robert Collins).
3454
3455
INTERNALS:
3456
3457
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3458
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3459
3460
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3461
function. (Robert Collins)
3462
3463
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3464
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3465
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3466
3467
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3468
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3469
(Robert Collins)
3470
3471
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3472
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3473
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3474
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3475
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3476
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3477
version. (Robert Collins)
3478
3479
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3480
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3481
3482
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3483
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3484
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3485
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3486
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3487
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3488
3489
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3490
(Robert Collins)
3491
3492
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3493
3494
add()
3495
commit()
3496
move()
3497
rename_one()
3498
unknowns()
3499
3500
(Robert Collins)
3501
3502
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3503
3504
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3505
3506
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3507
Pool)
3508
3509
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3510
query method. (Robert Collins)
3511
3512
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3513
(Denys Duchier)
3514
3515
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3516
(Michael Ellerman)
3517
3518
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3519
(Michael Ellerman)
3520
3521
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3522
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3523
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3524
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3525
3526
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3527
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3528
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3529
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3530
3531
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3532
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3533
3534
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3535
==================
3536
3537
IMPROVEMENTS:
3538
3539
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3540
(John A Meinel)
3541
3542
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3543
conflicts.
3544
(Aaron Bentley)
3545
3546
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3547
a separator, not ':'.
3548
(Aaron Bentley)
3549
3550
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3551
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3552
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3553
3554
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3555
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3556
(Robert Collins)
3557
3558
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3559
has been added that suppresses all output.
3560
3561
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3562
Adams.
3563
3564
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3565
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3566
3567
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3568
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3569
3570
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3571
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3572
3573
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3574
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3575
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3576
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3577
3578
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3579
3580
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3581
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3582
3583
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3584
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3585
3586
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3587
output directory, if one was supplied.
3588
3589
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3590
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3591
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3592
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3593
3594
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3595
3596
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3597
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3598
3599
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3600
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3601
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3602
3603
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3604
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3605
3606
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3607
(Aaron Bentley)
3608
3609
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3610
3611
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3612
3613
TESTING:
3614
3615
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3616
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3617
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3618
3619
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3620
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3621
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3622
3623
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3624
is given. (Martin Pool)
3625
3626
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3627
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3628
file. (Robert Collins)
3629
3630
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3631
(Martin Pool)
3632
3633
INTERNALS:
3634
3635
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3636
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3637
representation. (Martin Pool).
3638
3639
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3640
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3641
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3642
3643
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3644
(Robert Collins)
3645
3646
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3647
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3648
Magnus Therning.
3649
3650
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3651
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3652
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3653
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3654
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3655
3656
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3657
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3658
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3659
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3660
python path. (Robert Collins)
3661
3662
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3663
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3664
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3665
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3666
3667
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3668
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3669
3670
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3671
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3672
(Robert Collins)
3673
3674
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3675
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3676
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3677
3678
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3679
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3680
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3681
3682
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3683
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3684
3685
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3686
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3687
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3688
(Robert Collins)
3689
3690
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3691
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3692
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3693
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3694
(Robert Collins)
3695
3696
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3697
(Robert Collins)
3698
3699
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3700
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3701
(Robert Collins)
3702
3703
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3704
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3705
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3706
3707
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3708
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3709
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3710
3711
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3712
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3713
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3714
3715
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3716
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3717
3718
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3719
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3720
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3721
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3722
caller. (Robert Collins)
3723
3724
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3725
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3726
(Robert Collins).
3727
3728
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3729
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3730
(Aaron Bentley)
3731
3732
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3733
3734
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3735
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3736
3737
BUG FIXES:
3738
3739
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3740
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3741
3742
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3743
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3746
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3747
====================
3748
3749
BUG FIXES:
3750
3751
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3752
allow directories to be listed.
3753
3754
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3755
upgrading branch format.
3756
3757
PERFORMANCE:
3758
3759
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3760
3761
3762
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3763
==================
3764
3765
NOTES:
3766
3767
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3768
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3769
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3770
high-latency connections.
3771
3772
BUG FIXES:
3773
3774
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3775
Rob Weir.
3776
3777
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3778
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3779
3780
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3781
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3782
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3783
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3784
3785
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3786
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3787
3788
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3789
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3790
3791
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3792
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3793
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3794
3795
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3796
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3797
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3798
Robert Collins
3799
3800
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3801
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3802
3803
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3804
different partial views of history.
3805
3806
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3807
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3808
3809
IMPROVEMENTS:
3810
3811
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3812
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3813
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3814
3815
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3816
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3817
'bzr upgrade'.
3818
3819
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3820
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3821
3822
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3823
Niemeyer.
3824
3825
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3826
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3827
3828
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3829
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3830
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3831
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3832
3833
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3834
3835
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3836
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3837
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3838
3839
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3840
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3841
3842
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3843
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3844
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3845
3846
3847
INTERNALS:
3848
3849
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3850
for your viewing pleasure.
3851
3852
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3853
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3854
3855
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3856
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3857
handling of such circumstances.
3858
3859
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3860
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3861
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3862
3863
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3864
3865
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3866
we call them revisions not patches.
3867
3868
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3869
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3870
3871
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3872
giving the revision *of that file*.
3873
3874
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3875
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3876
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3877
3878
TESTING:
3879
3880
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3881
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3882
3883
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3884
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3885
3886
3887
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3888
====================
3889
3890
BUG FIXES:
3891
3892
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3893
3894
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3895
(Robert Collins).
3896
3897
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3898
3899
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3900
3901
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3902
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3903
3904
IMPROVEMENTS:
3905
3906
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3907
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3908
3909
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3910
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3911
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3912
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3913
Robey Pointer
3914
3915
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3916
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3917
3918
INTERNALS:
3919
3920
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3921
3922
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3923
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3924
3925
3926
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3927
====================
3928
3929
IMPROVEMENTS:
3930
3931
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3932
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3933
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3934
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3935
Michael Ellerman.
3936
3937
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3938
(Nir Soffer)
3939
3940
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3941
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3942
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3943
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3944
for the operating system is still tried.
3945
3946
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3947
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3948
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3949
3950
3951
INTERNALS:
3952
3953
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3954
3955
BUG FIXES:
3956
3957
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3958
3959
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3960
branch.
3961
3962
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3963
read.
3964
3965
3966
PORTABILITY:
3967
3968
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3969
3970
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3971
3972
3973
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3974
====================
3975
3976
NEW FEATURES:
3977
3978
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3979
help with intelligent shell completion.
3980
3981
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3982
3983
3984
ENHANCEMENTS:
3985
3986
* Much better merge support.
3987
3988
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3989
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3990
like emacs smerge.
3991
3992
3993
BUG FIXES:
3994
3995
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3996
mention revisions that are not present.
3997
3998
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3999
4000
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4001
4002
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4003
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4004
4005
4006
CHANGES:
4007
4008
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4009
4010
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4011
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4012
--help themselves.
4013
4014
4015
LIBRARY:
4016
4017
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4018
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4019
libraries.
4020
4021
4022
4023
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4024
====================
4025
4026
NEW FEATURES:
4027
4028
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4029
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4030
4031
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4032
4033
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4034
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4035
4036
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4037
FOO.
4038
4039
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4040
4041
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4042
the Unix command.
4043
4044
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4045
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4046
4047
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4048
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4049
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4050
4051
4052
ENHANCEMENTS:
4053
4054
* Faster working tree operations.
4055
4056
4057
CHANGES:
4058
4059
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4060
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4061
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4062
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4063
4064
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4065
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4066
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4067
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4068
standard plugins directory.
4069
4070
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4071
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4072
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4073
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4074
4075
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4076
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4077
4078
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4079
disk.
4080
4081
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4082
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4083
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4084
4085
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4086
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4087
4088
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4089
line options must come before the command name because they
4090
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4091
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4092
it.
4093
4094
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4095
4096
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4097
is available with ``--short``.
4098
4099
4100
BUG FIXES:
4101
4102
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4103
4104
4105
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4106
=====================
4107
4108
CHANGES:
4109
4110
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4111
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4112
4113
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4114
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4115
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4116
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4117
4118
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4119
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4120
with the ``--forward`` option.
4121
4122
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4123
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4124
field.
4125
4126
4127
ENHANCEMENTS:
4128
4129
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4130
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4131
4132
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4133
4134
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4135
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4136
4137
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4138
4139
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4140
either read or write mode.
4141
4142
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4143
4144
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4145
affected that file.
4146
4147
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4148
4149
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4150
suggested by LarstiQ.
4151
4152
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4153
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4154
4155
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4156
a filename.
4157
4158
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4159
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4160
4161
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4162
haven't changed since the previous time.
4163
4164
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4165
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4166
4167
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4168
4169
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4170
4171
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4172
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4173
4174
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4175
options through to an external GNU diff.
4176
4177
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4178
their contents.
4179
4180
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4181
from a branch.
4182
4183
4184
BUG FIXES:
4185
4186
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4187
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4188
4189
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4190
metacharacters.
4191
4192
4193
TESTING:
4194
4195
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4196
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4197
the tests.
4198
4199
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4200
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4201
4202
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4203
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4204
4205
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4206
under a different version.
4207
4208
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4209
4210
4211

4215
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4216
Scott James Remnant.
4217
4218
* Better help messages for many commands.
4219
4220
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4221
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4222
4223
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4224
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4225
4226
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4227
4228
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4229
4230
* New AtomicFile class.
4231
4232
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4233
4234
4235
PORTABILITY:
4236
4237
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4238
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4242
=====================
4243
4244
ENHANCEMENTS:
4245
4246
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4247
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4248
4249
* More default ignore patterns.
4250
4251
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4252
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4253
4254
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4255
4256
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4257
by Jason Diamon.
4258
4259
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4260
4261
4262
CHANGES:
4263
4264
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4265
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4266
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4267
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4268
there are DNS problems.
4269
4270
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4271
4272
4273
BUG FIXES:
4274
4275
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4276
4277
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4278
4279
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4280
trailing newlines properly.
4281
4282
4283
INTERNAL:
4284
4285
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4286
Matt Brubeck.
4287
4288
* More tests in test.sh.
4289
4290
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4291
directory and delete it when done.
4292
4293
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4294
4295
4296
PORTABILITY:
4297
4298
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4299
Bennetts.
4300
4301
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4302
from QuantumG.

4325
CHANGES:
4326
4327
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4328
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4329
will do for now.)
4330
4331
PORTABILITY:
4332
4333
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4334
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4335
Nielsen.

4365
4366
* More help topics.
4367
4368
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4369
branch.
4370
4371
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4372
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4373
4374
* Performance improvements.
4375
4376
* New global --profile option.
4377
4378
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4379
the root directory only.

4403
installation easier.
4404
4405

4406
supported).
4407
