IN DEVELOPMENT
8
--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
13
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
14
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
15
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
16
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
17
18
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
19
server. (Marius Kruger)
20
21
FEATURES
22
23
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
24
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
25
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed . Feedback
26
welcome.
27
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
28
29
IMPROVEMENTS:
30
31
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
32
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
33
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
34
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
35
36
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
37
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
38
(Daniel Watkins)
39
40
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
41
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
42
(Andrew Bennetts)
43
44
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
45
(Robert Collins)
46
47
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
48
49
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
50
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
51
52
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
53
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
54
55
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
56
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
57
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
58
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
59
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
60
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
61
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
62
operations. (Robert Collins)
63
64
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
65
66
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
67
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
68
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
69
70
BUG FIXES:
71
72
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
73
repository now preserves the repository format.
74
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
75
76
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
77
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
78
79
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
80
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
81
82
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
83
it's not there.
84
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
85
86
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
87
(Andrew Bennetts)
88
89
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
90
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
91
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
92
93
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
94
is in a different repository than the current one.
95
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
96
97
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
98
(David Futcher, #242106)
99
100
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
101
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
102
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
103
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
104
105
* Trivial documentation fix.
106
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
107
108
DOCUMENTATION:
109
110
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
111
112
API CHANGES:
113
114
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
115
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
116
to use. (Robert Collins)
117
118
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
119
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
120
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
121
122
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
123
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
124
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
125
they want. (Robert Collins)
126
127
TESTING:
128
129
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
130
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
131
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
132
133
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
134
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
135
(Mark Hammond)
136
137
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
138
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
139
140
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
141
(Aaron Bentley)
142
143
INTERNALS:
144
145
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
146
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
147
148
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
149
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
150
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
151
152
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
153
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
154
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
155
156
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
157
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
158
159
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
160
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
161
162
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
163
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
164
165
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
166
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
167
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
168
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
169
parameters anymore.
170
(Vincent Ladeuil)
171
172
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
173
-----------------------
174
175
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
176
file paths when we encounter complex history.
177
178
FEATURES:
179
180
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
181
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
182
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
183
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
184
(John Arbash Meinel)
185
186
187
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
188
------------------
189
190
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
191
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
192
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
193
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
194
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
195
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
196
197
FEATURES
198
199
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
200
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
201
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
202
203
204
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
205
---------------------
206
207
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
208
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
209
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
210
connect to the stacked-on location.
211
212
BUG FIXES:
213
214
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
215
repository now preserves the repository format.
216
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
217
218
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
219
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
220
221
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
222
(Vincent Ladeuil)
223
224
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
225
(Andrew Bennetts)
226
227
228
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
229
---------------------
230
231
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
232
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
233
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
234
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
235
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
236
it in a future repository format.
237
238
239
CHANGES:
240
241
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
242
(Robert Collins)
243
244
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
245
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
246
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
247
248
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
249
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
250
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
251
252
FEATURES
253
254
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
255
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
256
257
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
258
259
IMPROVEMENTS:
260
261
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
262
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
263
(Martin Pool)
264
265
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
266
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
267
268
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
269
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
270
(Marius Kruger)
271
272
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
273
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
274
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
275
(John Arbash Meinel)
276
277
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
278
(Martin Pool, #261315)
279
280
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
281
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
282
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
283
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
284
(John Arbash Meinel)
285
286
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
287
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
288
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
289
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
290
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
291
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
292
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
293
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
294
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
295
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
296
297
BUG FIXES:
298
299
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
300
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
301
302
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
303
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
304
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
305
306
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
307
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
308
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
309
310
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
311
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
312
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
313
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
314
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
315
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
316
317
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
318
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
319
320
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
321
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
322
323
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
324
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
325
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
326
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
327
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
328
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
329
330
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
331
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
332
333
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
334
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
335
336
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
337
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
338
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
339
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
340
341
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
342
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
343
344
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
345
assuming the host name is ascii.
346
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
347
348
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
349
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
350
351
DOCUMENTATION:
352
353
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
354
355
API CHANGES:
356
357
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
358
359
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
360
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
361
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
362
(Robert Collins)
363
364
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
365
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
366
367
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
368
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
369
370
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
371
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
372
373
TESTING:
374
375
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
376
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
377
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
378
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
379
380
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
381
still in use.
382
(Mark Hammond)
383
384
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
385
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
386
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
387
388
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
389
(Vincent Ladeuil)
390
391
INTERNALS:
392
393
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
394
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
395
(Robert Collins)
396
397
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
398
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
399
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
400
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
401
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
402
403
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
404
is unknown in both source and target.
405
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
406
407
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
408
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
409
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
410
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
411
412
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
413
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
414
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
415
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
416
417
418
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
419
--------------------
420
421
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
422
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
423
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
424
425
426
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
427
-----------------------
428
429
BUG FIXES:
430
431
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
432
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
433
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
434
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
435
436
437
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
438
-----------------------
439
440
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
441
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
442
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
443
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
444
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
445
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
446
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
447
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
448
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
449
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
450
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
451
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
452
453
BUG FIXES:
454
455
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
456
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
457
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
458
start of the string (causing more copies).
459
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
460
especially for projects with large files.
461
(John Arbash Meinel)
462
463
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
464
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
465
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
466
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
467
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
468
469
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
470
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
471
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
472
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
473
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
478
------------------
479
480
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
481
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
482
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
483
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
484
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
485
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
486
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
487
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
488
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
489
490
491
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
492
---------------------
493
494
BUG FIXES:
495
496
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
497
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
498
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
499
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
500
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
501
502
503
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
504
---------------------
505
506
BUG FIXES:
507
508
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
509
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
510
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
511
512
513
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
514
---------------------
515
516
CHANGES:
517
518
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
519
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
520
(Robert Collins)
521
522
IMPROVEMENTS:
523
524
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
525
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
526
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
527
(Mark Hammond)
528
529
BUG FIXES:
530
531
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
532
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
533
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
534
535
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
536
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
537
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
538
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
539
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
540
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
541
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
542
543
544
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
545
---------------------
546
547
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
548
fixes for Windows.
549
550
BUG FIXES:
551
552
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
553
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
554
555
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
556
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
557
(Aaron Bentley)
558
559
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
560
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
561
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
562
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
563
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
564
565
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
566
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
567
568
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
569
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
570
571
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
572
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
573
574
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
575
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
576
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
577
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
578
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
579
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
580
581
582
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
583
---------------------
584
585
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
586
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
587
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
588
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
589
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
590
591
CHANGES:
592
593
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
594
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
595
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
596
597
IMPROVEMENTS:
598
599
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
600
check. (Daniel Watkins)
601
602
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
603
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
604
605
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
606
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
607
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
608
609
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
610
(James Westby)
611
612
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
613
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
614
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
615
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
616
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
617
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
618
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
619
620
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
621
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
622
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
623
624
BUG FIXES:
625
626
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
627
physical repository boundaries.
628
(Martin Pool, #252428)
629
630
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
631
(Martin Pool, #206258)
632
633
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
634
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
635
(Martin Pool)
636
637
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
638
(Ian Clatworthy)
639
640
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
641
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
642
that Python is running from.
643
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
644
645
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
646
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
647
(Robert Collins, #150438)
648
649
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
650
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
651
652
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
653
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
654
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
655
656
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
657
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
658
659
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
660
(James Westby, #248448)
661
662
API CHANGES:
663
664
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
665
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
666
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
667
(Robert Collins)
668
669
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
670
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
671
(Robert Collins)
672
673
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
674
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
675
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
676
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
677
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
678
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
679
(Robert Collins)
680
681
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
682
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
683
684
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
685
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
686
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
687
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
688
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
689
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
690
691
INTERNALS:
692
693
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
694
putting together a real history without having to create a full
695
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
696
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
697
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
698
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
699
700
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
701
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
702
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
703
704
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
705
(Ian Clatworthy)
706
707
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
708
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
709
710
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
711
(Ian Clatworthy)
712
713
714
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
715
-----------------------
716
717
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
718
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
719
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
720
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
721
bug fixes.
722
723
FEATURES:
724
725
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
726
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
727
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
728
729
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
730
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
731
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
732
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
733
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
734
(Ian Clatworthy)
735
736
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
737
738
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
739
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
740
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
741
(Robert Collins)
742
743
IMPROVEMENTS:
744
745
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
746
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
747
(Martin Pool)
748
749
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
750
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
751
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
752
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
753
754
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
755
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
756
(Christophe Troestler)
757
758
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
759
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
760
761
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
762
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
763
faster. The new request method name is
764
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
765
766
BUG FIXES:
767
768
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
769
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
770
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
771
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
772
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
773
774
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
775
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
776
777
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
778
requires a branch to be present.
779
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
780
781
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
782
loaded.
783
(Martin Pool, #205230)
784
785
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
786
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
787
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
788
(Martin Pool, #240161)
789
790
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
791
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
792
793
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
794
name contains an @.
795
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
796
797
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
798
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
799
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
800
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
801
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
802
803
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
804
(Martin Pool, #172870)
805
806
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
807
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
808
809
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
810
Cygwin Bazaar.
811
(Matt McClure, #209281)
812
813
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
814
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
815
816
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
817
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
818
819
DOCUMENTATION:
820
821
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
822
(Ian Clatworthy)
823
824
* Updated developer documentation.
825
(Martin Pool)
826
827
TESTING:
828
829
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
830
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
831
832
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
833
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
834
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
835
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
836
837
API CHANGES:
838
839
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
840
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
841
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
842
Repository docstring for more details.
843
(Robert Collins)
844
845
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
846
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
847
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
848
849
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
850
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
851
(Daniel Watkins)
852
853
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
854
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
855
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
856
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
857
858
INTERNALS:
859
860
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
861
(Alexander Belchenko)
862
863
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
864
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
865
containing a given location.
866
(Daniel Watkins)
867
868
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
869
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
870
storage. (Robert Collins)
871
872
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
873
(Robert Collins)
874
875
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
876
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
877
(Robert Collins)
878
879
880
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
881
-----------------------
882
883
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
884
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
885
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
886
now faster.
887
888
BUG FIXES:
889
890
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
891
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
892
reading from the repository.)
893
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
894
895
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
896
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
897
898
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
899
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
900
(Andrew Bennetts)
901
902
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
903
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
904
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
905
906
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
907
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
908
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
909
910
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
911
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
912
913
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
914
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
915
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
916
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
917
918
IMPROVEMENTS:
919
920
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
921
922
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
923
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
924
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
925
(Adrian Wilkins)
926
927
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
928
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
929
930
DOCUMENTATION:
931
932
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
933
934
TESTING:
935
936
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
937
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
938
939
API CHANGES:
940
941
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
942
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
943
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
944
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
945
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
946
947
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
948
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
949
950
INTERNALS:
951
952
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
953
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
954
955
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
956
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
960
-----------------------
961
962
963
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
964
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
965
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
966
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
967
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
968
and future extensions.
969
970
971
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
972
973
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
974
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
975
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
976
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
977
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
978
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
979
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
980
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
981
982
CHANGES:
983
984
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
985
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
986
(John Arbash Meinel)
987
988
FEATURES:
989
990
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
991
load. (James Westby)
992
993
IMPROVEMENTS:
994
995
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
996
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
997
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
998
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
999
1000
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1001
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1002
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1003
1004
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1005
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1006
1007
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1008
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1009
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1010
1011
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1012
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1013
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1014
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1015
step closer to not using full revision history.
1016
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1017
1018
BUGFIXES:
1019
1020
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1021
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1022
1023
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1024
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1025
1026
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1027
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1028
1029
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1030
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1031
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1032
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1033
1034
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1035
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1036
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1037
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1038
1039
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1040
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1041
in use by another process.
1042
(Martin Pool)
1043
1044
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1045
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1046
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1047
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1048
1049
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1050
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
1052
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1053
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1055
1056
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1057
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1059
1060
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1061
them.
1062
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1063
1064
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1065
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1066
1067
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1068
under vim on Mac OS X.
1069
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1070
1071
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1072
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1073
1074
DOCUMENTATION:
1075
1076
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1077
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1078
1079
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1080
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1081
(Ian Clatworthy)
1082
1083
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1084
and about use of Python reprs.
1085
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1086
1087
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1088
1089
TESTING:
1090
1091
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1092
(Robert Collins)
1093
1094
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1095
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1096
1097
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1098
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1099
1100
INTERNALS:
1101
1102
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1103
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1104
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1105
(John Arbash Meinel)
1106
1107
API CHANGES:
1108
1109
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1110
instead. (Martin Pool)
1111
1112
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1113
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1114
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1115
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1116
1117
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1118
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1119
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1120
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1121
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1122
1123
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1124
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1125
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1126
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1127
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1128
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1129
1130
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1131
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1132
(Martin Pool)
1133
1134
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1135
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1136
(Robert Collins)
1137
1138
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1139
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1140
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1141
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1142
1143
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1144
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1145
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1146
1147
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1148
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1149
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1150
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1151
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1152
(Martin Pool)
1153
1154
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1155
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1156
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1157
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1158
(Robert Collins)
1159
1160
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1161
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1162
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1163
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1164
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1165
1166
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
1171
------------------
1172
1173
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1174
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1175
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1176
1177
CHANGES:
1178
1179
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1180
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1181
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1182
1183
DOCUMENTATION:
1184
1185
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

1191
---------------------
1192
1193
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1194
1195
CHANGES:
1196
1197
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1198
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1199
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1200
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1201
1202
FEATURES:
1203
1204
IMPROVEMENTS:
1205
1206
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1207
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1208
1209
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1210
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1211
1212
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1213
(Aaron Bentley)
1214
1215
BUGFIXES:
1216
1217
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1218
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1219
1220
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1221
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1222
1223
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1224
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1225
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1226
1227
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1228
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1229
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1230
1231
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1232
(Andreas Deininger)
1233
1234
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1236
1237
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1238
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1239
1240
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1241
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1242
1243
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1244
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1245
1246
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1247
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1249
1250
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1251
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1252
1253
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1254
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1255
1256
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1257
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1258
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1259
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1260
1261
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1262
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1263
(Martin Pool)
1264
1265
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1266
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1267
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1268
1269
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1270
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1271
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1272
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1273
every revision each side had in common.
1274
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1275
1276
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1277
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1278
1279
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1280
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1281
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1282
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1283
1284
DOCUMENTATION:
1285
1286
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1287
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1288
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1289
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1290
1291
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1292
1293
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1294
1295
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1297
1298
TESTING:
1299
1300
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1301
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1302
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1303
1304
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1305
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1306
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1307
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1308
1309
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1310
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1311
1312
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1313
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1314
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1315
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1316
1317
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1318
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1319
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1320
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1321
1322
INTERNALS:
1323
1324
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1325
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1326
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1327
1328
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1329
1330
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1331
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1332
1333
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1334
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1335
1336
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1337
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1338
1339
API CHANGES:
1340
1341
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1342
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1343
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1344
1345
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1346
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1347
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1348
(Aaron Bentley)
1349
1350
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1351
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1352
(Martin Pool)
1353
1354
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1359
------------------
1360
1361
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1362
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1363
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1364
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1365
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1366
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1367
and faster performance.
1368
1369
BUG FIXES:
1370
1371
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1372
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1373
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1384
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)

1389
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".

walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1395
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1396
every revision each side had in common.

1401
---------------------
1402
1403
CHANGES:
1404
1405
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1406
1407
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1408
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1409
1410
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1411
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1412
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1413
1414
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1415
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1416
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1417
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1418
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1419
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1420
Andrew Cowie)
1421
1422
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1423
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1424
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1425
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1426
1427
FEATURES:
1428
1429
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1430
1431
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1432
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1433
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1434
1435
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1436
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1437
See the User Reference for signature details.
1438
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1439
1440
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1441
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1442
1443
IMPROVEMENTS:
1444
1445
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1446
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1447
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1448
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1449
1450
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1451
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1452
1453
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1454
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1455
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1456
Wouter van Heyst)
1457
1458
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1459
(Chad Miller)
1460
1461
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1462
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1463
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1464
1465
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1466
(Aaron Bentley)
1467
1468
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1469
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1470
1471
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1472
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1473
1474
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1475
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1476
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1477
1478
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1479
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1480
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1481
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1482
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1483
1484
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1485
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1486
1487
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1488
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1489
1490
BUGFIXES:
1491
1492
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1493
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1494
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1495
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1496
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1497
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1498
1499
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1500
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1501
1502
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1503
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1504
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1505
1506
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1507
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1508
1509
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1510
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1511
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1512
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1513
1514
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1515
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1516
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1517
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1518
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1519
1520
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1521
1522
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1523
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1524
1525
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1526
1527
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1528
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1529
1530
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1531
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1532
1533
DOCUMENTATION:
1534
1535
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1536
1537
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1538
1539
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1540
1541
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1542
1543
API BREAKS:
1544
1545
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1546
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1547
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1548
1549
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1550
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1551
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1552
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1555
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1556
release. (James Westby)
1557
1558
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1559
(Andrew Bennetts)
1560
1561
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1562
1563
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1564
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1565
1566
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1567
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1568
1569
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1570
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1571
1572
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1573
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1574
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1577
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1578
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1579
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1580
1581
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1582
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1583
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1584
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1585
1586
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1587
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1588
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1589
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1590
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1591
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1592
1593
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1594
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1595
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1596
1597
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1598
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1599
1600
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1601
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1602
(Robert Collins)
1603
1604
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1605
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1608
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1609
1610
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1611
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1612
1613
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1614
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1615
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1616
1617
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1618
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1619
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1620
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1621
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1622
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1623
1624
TESTING:
1625
1626
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1627
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1628
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1629
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1630
1631
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1632
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1633
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1634
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1635
implement this).
1636
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1637
1638
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1639
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1640
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1641
1642
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1643
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1644
1645
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1646
1647
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1648
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1649
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1650
1651
INTERNALS:
1652
1653
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1654
1655
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1656
(Martin Albisetti)
1657
1658
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1659
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1660
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1661
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1662
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1663
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1664
1665
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1666
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1667
1668
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1669
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1670
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1671
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1672
1673
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1674
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1675
1676
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1677
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
1690
1691
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1692
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1693
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

1698
------------------
1699
1700
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1701
1702
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1703
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1704
features have been added.
1705
1706
TESTING:
1707
1708
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1709
directory names.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1717
1718
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1719
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1720
1721
CHANGES:
1722
1723
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1724
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1725
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1726
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1727
(Robert Collins)
1728
1729
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1730
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1731
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1732
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1733
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1734
(Alexander Belchenko)
1735
1736
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1737
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1738
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1739
(Alexander Belchenko)
1740
1741
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1742
1743
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1744
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1745
1746
FEATURES:
1747
1748
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1749
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1750
1751
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1752
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1753
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1754
1755
IMPROVEMENTS:
1756
1757
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1758
1759
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1760
1761
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1762
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1763
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1764
1765
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1766
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1767
1768
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1769
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1770
1771
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1772
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1773
(Alexander Belchenko)
1774
1775
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1776
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1777
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1778
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1779
1780
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1781
(Daniel Watkins)
1782
1783
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1784
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1785
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1786
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1787
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1788
1789
BUGFIXES:
1790
1791
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1792
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1793
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1794
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1795
1796
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1797
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1798
1799
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1800
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1801
1802
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1803
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1804
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1805
1806
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1807
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1808
1809
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1810
#196618)
1811
1812
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1813
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1814
1815
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1816
1817
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1818
1819
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1820
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1821
1822
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1823
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1824
1825
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1826
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1827
1828
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1829
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1830
1831
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1832
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1833
1834
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1835
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1836
1837
DOCUMENTATION:
1838
1839
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1840
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1841
1842
API BREAKS:
1843
1844
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1845
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1846
(Alexander Belchenko)
1847
1848
TESTING:
1849
1850
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1851
1852
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1853
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.

1857
1858
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1859
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1860
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1861
1862
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1863
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1864
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1865
(Alexander Belchenko)
1866
1867
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1868
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1869
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1870
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1871
1872
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1873
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1874
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1875
(Robert Collins)
1876
1877
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1878
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1879
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1880
1881
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1882
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1883
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1884
1885
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1886
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1887
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1888
format. (Robert Collins)

1900
---------------------
1901
1902
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1903
1904
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1905
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1906
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1907
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1908
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1909
(Andrew Bennetts)
1910
1911
CHANGES:
1912
1913
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1914
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1915
1916
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1917
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1918
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1919
1920
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1921
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1922
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1923
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1924
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1925
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1926
(Aaron Bentley)
1927
1928
FEATURES:
1929
1930
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1931
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1932
1933
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1934
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1935
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1936
(Robert Collins)
1937
1938
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1939
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1940
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1941
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1942
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1943
1944
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1945
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1946
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1947
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1948
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1949
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1950
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1951
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1952
1953
IMPROVEMENTS:
1954
1955
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1956
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1957
1958
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1959
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1960
1961
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1962
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1963
1964
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1965
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1966
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1967
1968
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1969
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1970
(John Arbash Meinel)
1971
1972
BUGFIXES:
1973
1974
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1975
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1976
1977
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1978
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1979
1980
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1981
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1982
1983
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1984
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1985
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1986
1987
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1988
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1989
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1990
1991
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1992
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1993
1994
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1995
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1996
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1997
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1998
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1999
unittest runner.
2000
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2001
2002
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2003
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2004
#185907)
2005
2006
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2007
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2008
2009
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2010
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2011
2012
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2014
2015
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2016
more characters which should be considered valid.
2017
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2018
2019
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2020
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2021
2022
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2023
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2024
2025
API BREAKS:
2026
2027
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2028
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2029
2030
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2031
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2032
(Martin Pool)
2033
2034
TESTING:
2035
2036
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2037
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2038
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2039
2040
INTERNALS:
2041
2042
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2043
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2044
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2045
2046
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2047
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2048
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2049
2050
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2051
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2052
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2053
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2054
2055
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2056
2057
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2058
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2059
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2060
server. (Robert Collins)
2061
2062
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2063
operate. (Robert Collins)
2064
2065
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2066
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2067
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2068
2069
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2070
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2071
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2072
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2073
2074
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2075
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2076
2077
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2078
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2079
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2080
2081
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2082
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2083
2084
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2085
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2086
2087
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2088
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2089
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2090
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
2100
2101
CHANGES:
2102
2103
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2104
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2105
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2106
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2107
2108
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2109
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2110
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2111
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2112
2113
FEATURES:
2114
2115
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2116
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2117
2118
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2119
(Aaron Bentley)
2120
2121
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2122
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2123
2124
IMPROVEMENTS:
2125
2126
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2127
#90049)
2128
2129
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2130
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2131
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2132
2133
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2134
2135
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2136
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2137
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2138
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2139
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2140
2141
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2142
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2143
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2144
2145
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2146
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2147
2148
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2149
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2150
2151
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2152
2153
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2154
2155
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2156
(Aaron Bentley)
2157
2158
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2159
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2160
2161
BUGFIXES:
2162
2163
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2164
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2165
2166
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2167
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2168
2169
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2170
(Aaron Bentley)
2171
2172
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2173
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2174
2175
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2176
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2177
2178
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2179
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2180
2181
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2182
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2183
2184
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2185
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2186
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2187
2188
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2190
2191
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2192
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2193
(Aaron Bentley)
2194
2195
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2196
2197
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2198
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2200
2201
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2202
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2203
2204
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2205
(Aaron Bentley)
2206
2207
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2208
#148087)
2209
2210
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2211
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2212
2213
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2214
#137681)
2215
2216
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2217
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2218
(Aaron Bentley)
2219
2220
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2221
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2223
2224
DOCUMENTATION:
2225
2226
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2227
(Ian Clatworthy)
2228
2229
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2230
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2231
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2232
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2233
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2234
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2235
2236
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2237
2238
INTERNALS:
2239
2240
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

2243
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2244
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2245
2246
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2247
2248
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2249
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2250
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2251
Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2254
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2255
2256
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2257
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2258
2259
API BREAKS:
2260
2261
TESTING:
2262
2263
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2264
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2265
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2268
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2269
(Robert Collins)
2270
2271
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2272
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2273
2274
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2275
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2276
2277
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2278
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2279
2280
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2281
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2282
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2285
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2288
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2289
2290
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2291
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2292
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2293
2294
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2295
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2296
2297
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2298
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2331
2332
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2333
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2334
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2335
feedback but also incur more latency.
2336
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2337
2338
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2339
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2340
2341
DOCUMENTATION:
2342
2343
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2344
2345

2346
(Ian Clatworthy)
2347
2348
INTERNALS:
2349
2350
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2351
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2352
wraps its output in a StringIO.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2360
2361
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2362
2363
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2364
(Aaron Bentley)
2365
2366
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2367
Nordhoff, #172612)
2368
2369
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2370
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2371
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2372
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2373
2374
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2375
(Kent Gibson)
2376
2377
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2378
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2379
2380
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2381
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2382
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2383
2384
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2385
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2386
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2387
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2388
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2389
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2390
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2391
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2392
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2393
2394
INTERNALS:
2395
2396
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2397
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2398
2399
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2400
2401
BUGFIXES:
2402
2403
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2404
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2405
2406
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2407
filename to user.
2408
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2409
2410
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2411
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2412
required.
2413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2414
2415
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2416
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2417
2418
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2419
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2420
2421
API BREAKS:
2422
2423
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2424
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

2427
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2428
---------------------
2429
2430
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2431
2432
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2433
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2434
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2435
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2436
2437
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2438
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2439
2440
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2441
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2442
2443
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2444
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2445
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2446
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2447
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2448
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2449
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2450
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2451
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2452
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2453
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2454
from any tree without problems.
2455
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2456
2457
CHANGES:
2458
2459
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2460
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2461
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2462
2463
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2464
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2465
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2466
(Martin Pool)
2467
2468
FEATURES:
2469
2470
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2471
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2472
supported transports.
2473
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2474
2475
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2476
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2477
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2478
2479
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2480
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2481
2482
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2483
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2484
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2485
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2486
2487
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2488
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2489
2490
PERFORMANCE:
2491
2492
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2493
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2494
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2495
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2496
2497
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2498
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2499
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2500
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2501
2502
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2503
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2504
2505
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2506
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2507
2508
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2509
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2510
2511
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2512
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2513
(Aaron Bentley)
2514
2515
IMPROVEMENTS:
2516
2517
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2518
(Aaron Bentley)
2519
2520
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2521
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2522
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2523
2524
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2525
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2526
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2527
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2528
2529
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2530
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2531
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2532
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

2536
BUG FIXES:
2537
2538
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2539
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2540
2541
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2542
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2543
2544
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2545
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2546
2547
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2549
2550
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2551
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2552
2553
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2554
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2555
2556
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2558
2559
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2560
(Aaron Bentley)
2561
2562
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2564
2565
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2566
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2568
2569
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2570
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2571
2572
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2573
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2574
2575
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2576
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2577
2578
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2580
2581
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2582
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2583
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2584
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2585
on them.
2586
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2587
2588
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2589
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2591
2592
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2593
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2594
2595
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2596
to be reconciled.
2597
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2598
2599
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2600
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2601
2602
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2603
specify a port in urls.
2604
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2605
2606
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2607
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2608
2609
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2610
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2611
2612
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2613
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2614
2615
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2616
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2617
2618
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2619
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2620
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2621
2622
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2623
2624
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2625
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2626
2627
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2628
Watkins, #152811)
2629
2630
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2631
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2632
2633
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2634
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2635
2636
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2637
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2638
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2639
2640
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2641
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2642
2643
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2644
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2645
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2646
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2647
2648
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2649
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2650
2651
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2652
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2653
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2654
2655
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2656
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2657
2658
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2660
2661
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2663
2664
API BREAKS:
2665
2666
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2667
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2668
2669
* The return value of
2670
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2671
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2672
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2673
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2674
2675
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2676
(Robert Collins)
2677
2678
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2679
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2680
format.
2681
(Martin Pool)
2682
2683
INTERNALS:
2684
2685
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2686
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2687
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2688
Bennetts)
2689
2690
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2691
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2692
2693
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2710
2711
CHANGES:
2712
2713
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2714
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2715
2716
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2717
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2718
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2719
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2720
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2721
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2722
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2723
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2724
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2725
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2726
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2727
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2728
(Robert Collins)
2729
2730
FEATURES:
2731
2732
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2733
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2734
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2735
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2736
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2737
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2738
2739
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2740
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2741
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2742
(Robert Collins)
2743
2744
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2745
2746
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2747
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2748
2749
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2750
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2751
(Aaron Bentley)
2752
2753
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2754
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2755
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2756
2757
PERFORMANCE:
2758
2759
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2760
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2761
2762
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2763
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2764
2765
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2766
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2767
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2768
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2769
2770
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2771
(Robert Collins)
2772
2773
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2774
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2775
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2776
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2777
2778
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2779
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2780
2781
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2782
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2783
2784
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2785
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2786
2787
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2788
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2789
2790
IMPROVEMENTS:
2791
2792
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2793
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2794
2795
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2796
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2797
2798
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2799
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2800
2801
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2802
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2803
2804
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2805
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2806
2807
DOCUMENTATION:
2808
2809
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2810
2811
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2812
(Ian Clatworthy)
2813
2814
BUG FIXES:
2815
2816
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2817
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2818
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2819
2820
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2821
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2822
2823
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2824
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2825
2826
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2827
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2828
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2829
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2830
2831
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2832
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2833
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2834
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2835
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2836
2837
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2838
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2839
paramiko.
2840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2841
2842
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2843
2844
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2845
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2846
2847
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2848
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2849
2850
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2851
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2852
2853
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2854
contains a symbolic link.
2855
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2856
2857
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2858
(James Westby, #140615)
2859
2860
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2861
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2863
2864
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2865
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2866
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2867
2868
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2869
2870
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2872
2873
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2874
will remain opened.
2875
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2876
2877
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2878
directory to detect leaking tests.
2879
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2880
2881
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2882
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2883
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2884
2885
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2886
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2887
2888
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2889
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2890
2891
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2892
Merwe)
2893
2894
API BREAKS:
2895
2896
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2897
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2898
2899
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2900
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2901
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2902
2903
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2904
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2905
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2906
2907
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2908
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2909
2910
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2911
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2912
2913
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2914
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2915
(Martin Pool)
2916
2917
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2918
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2919
2920
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2921
class that needs it.
2922
(Martin Pool)
2923
2924
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2925
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2926
2927
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2928
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2929
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2930
2931
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2932
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2933
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2934
(Robert Collins)
2935
2936
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2937
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2938
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2939
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2940
(Robert Collins)
2941
2942
INTERNALS:
2943
2944
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2945
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2946
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2947
2948
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2949
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2950
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2951
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2952
2953
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2954
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2955
(Robert Collins)
2956
2957
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2958
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2959
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2960
2961
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2962
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2963
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2964
2965
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2966
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2967
2968
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2969
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2970
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2971
2972
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2973
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2974
2975
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2976
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2977
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2978
2979
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2980
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2981
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2982
2983
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2984
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2985
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2986
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2987
2988
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2989
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2990
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2991
returned. (Robert Collins)
2992
2993
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2994
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2995
2996
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2997
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2998
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2999
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3000
(Robert Collins)
3001
3002
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3003
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3004
3005
TESTING:
3006
3007
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3008
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3009
3010
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3011
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3012
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3013
makes this behavior available to other users.
3014
(Martin Pool)
3015
3016
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3017
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3018
3019
3020
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3021
-------------------
3022
3023
BUG FIXES:
3024
3025
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3026
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3027
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3028
3029
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3030
3031
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3032
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3033
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3034
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3035
3036
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3037
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3038
(Andrew Bennetts)
3039
3040
3041
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3042
----------------------
3043
3044
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3045
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3046
3047
3048
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3049
----------------------
3050
3051
CHANGES:
3052
3053
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3054
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3055
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3056
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3057
(Martin Pool)
3058
3059
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3060
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3061
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3062
(Ian Clatworthy)
3063
3064
FEATURES:
3065
3066
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3067
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3068
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3069
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3070
3071
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3072
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3073
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3074
3075
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3076
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3077
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3078
3079
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3080
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3081
3082
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3083
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3084
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3085
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3086
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3087
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3088
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3089
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3090
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3091
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3092
3093
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3094
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3095
3096
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3097
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3098
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3099
3100
BUG FIXES:
3101
3102
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3103
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3104
3105
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3106
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3107
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3108
3109
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3110
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3111
3112
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3113
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3114
3115
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3116
(Aaron Bentley)
3117
3118
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3119
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3120
3121
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3122
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3123
3124
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3125
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3126
3127
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3128
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3129
3130
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3131
3132
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3133
Watkins, #106726)
3134
3135
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3136
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3137
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3138
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3139
3140
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3141
3142
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3143
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3144
#133548)
3145
3146
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3147
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3148
3149
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3150
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3151
#116143)
3152
3153
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3154
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3155
3156
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3157
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3158
3159
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3160
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3161
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3162
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3163
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3164
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3165
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3166
3167
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3168
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3169
3170
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3171
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3172
3173
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3174
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3175
3176
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3178
3179
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3180
connections.
3181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3182
3183
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3184
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3185
3186
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3187
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3188
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3189
3190
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3191
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3192
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3193
3194
IMPROVEMENTS:
3195
3196
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3197
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3198
3199
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3200
(Aaron Bentley)
3201
3202
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3203
(Aaron Bentley)
3204
3205
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3206
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3207
3208
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3209
3210
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3211
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3212
3213
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3214
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3215
3216
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3217
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3218
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3219
space). (Robert Collins)
3220
3221
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3222
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3223
(Ian Clatworthy)
3224
3225
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3226
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3227
3228
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3229
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3230
3231
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3232
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3233
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3234
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3235
3236
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3237
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3238
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3239
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3240
3241
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3242
(Ian Clatworthy)
3243
3244
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3245
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3246
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3247
3248
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3249
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3250
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3251
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3252
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3253
3254
API BREAKS:
3255
3256
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3257
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3258
3259
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3260
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3261
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3262
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3263
affected. (Robert Collins)
3264
3265
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3266
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3267
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3268
(Robert Collins)
3269
3270
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3271
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3272
3273
TESTING:
3274
3275
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3276
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3277
3278
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3279
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3280
3281
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3282
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3283
3284
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3285
(Aaron Bentley)
3286
3287
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3288
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3289
3290
INTERNALS:
3291
3292
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3293
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3294
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3295
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3296
3297
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3298
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3299
3300
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3301
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3302
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3303
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3304
3305
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3306
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3307
present. (Robert Collins)
3308
3309
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3310
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3311
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3312
API. (Robert Collins)
3313
3314
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3315
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3316
(Robert Collins)
3317
3318
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3319
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3320
3321
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3322
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3323
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3324
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3325
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3326
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3327
3328
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3329
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3330
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3331
3332
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3333
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3334
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3335
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3336
protocol.
3337
3338
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3339
(Aaron Bentley)
3340
3341
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3342
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3343
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3344
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3345
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3346
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3347
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3348
3349
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3350
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3351
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3352
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3353
3354
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3355
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3356
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3357
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3358
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3359
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3360
3361
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3362
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3363
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3364
3365
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3366
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

3370
-------------------
3371
3372
IMPROVEMENTS:
3373
3374
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3375
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3376
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3377
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3378
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3379
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3380
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3381
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3382
3383
3384
API CHANGES:
3385
3386
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3387
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3388
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3389
3390
3391
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3392
----------------------
3393
3394
BUGFIXES:
3395
3396
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3397
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3398
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3399
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3400
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3401
3402
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3403
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3404
3405
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3406
anymore.
3407
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3408
3409
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3410
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3411
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3412
3413
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3414
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3415
#111664)
3416
3417
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3418
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3419
3420
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3421
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3422
3423
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3424
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3425
3426
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3427
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3428
3429
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3430
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3431
3432
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3433
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3434
3435
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3436
(Aaron Bentley)
3437
3438
IMPROVEMENTS:
3439
3440
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3441
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3442
3443
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3444
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3445
3446
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3447
the repository (Robert Collins)
3448
3449
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3450
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3451
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3452
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3453
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3454
3455
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3456
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3457
3458
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3459
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3460
(John Arbash Meinel)
3461
3462
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3463
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3464
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3465
about 10%).
3466
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3467
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3468
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3469
(John Arbash Meinel)
3470
3471
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3472
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3473
(Robert Collins)
3474
3475
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3476
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3477
3478
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3479
(Ian Clatworthy)
3480
3481
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3482
3483
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3484
3485
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3486
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3487
3488
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3489
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3490
Meinel)
3491
3492
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3493
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3494
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3495
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3496
3497
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3498
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3499
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3500
3501
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3502
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3503
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3504
3505
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3506
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3507
3508
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3509
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3510
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3511
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3512
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3513
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3514
(Ian Clatworthy)
3515
3516
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3517
(Alexander Belchenko)
3518
3519
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3520
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3521
3522
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3523
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3524
3525
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3526
3527
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3528
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3529
3530
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3531
3532
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3533
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3534
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3535
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3536
3537
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3538
3539
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3540
(Robert Collins)
3541
3542
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3543
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3544
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3545
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3546
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3547
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3548
3549
INTERNALS:
3550
3551
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3552
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3553
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3554
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3555
3556
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3557
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3558
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3559
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3560
tests have been refactored too.
3561
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3562
3563
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3564
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3565
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3566
list, it will.
3567
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3568
3569
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3570
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3571
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3572
3573
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3574
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3575
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3576
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3577
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3578
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3579
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3580
3581
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3582
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3583
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3584
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3585
(John Arbash Meinel)
3586
3587
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3588
functionality for testing.
3589
3590
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3591
3592
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3593
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3594
3595
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3596
3597
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3598
(Robert Collins)
3599
3600
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3601
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3602
3603
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3604
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3605
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3606
3607
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3608
(Aaron Bentley)
3609
3610
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3611
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3612
3613
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3614
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3615
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3616
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3617
3618
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3619
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3620
3621
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3622
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3623
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3624
3625
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3626
(Marius Kruger)
3627
3628
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3629
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3630
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3631
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3632
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3633
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3634
3635
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3636
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3637
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3638
many files. (Robert Collins)
3639
3640
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3641
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3642
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3643
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3644
3645
TESTING:
3646
3647
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3648
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3649
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3650
3651
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3652
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3653
3654
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3655
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3656
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

3677
(James Westby, #122656)

(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3709
3710
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3711
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3712
3713
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3714
3715
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3716
3717
IMPROVEMENTS:
3718
3719
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3720
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3721
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3722
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3723
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3724
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3725
3726
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3727
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3728
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3729
3730
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3731
(Elliot Murphy)
3732
3733
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3734
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3735
3736
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3737
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3738
3739
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3740
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3741
3742
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3743
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3744
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3745
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3746
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3747
3748
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3749
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3750
3751
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3752
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3753
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3754
3755
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3756
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3757
3758
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3759
3760
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3761
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3762
3763
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3764
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3765
(Robert Collins)
3766
3767
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3768
(Martin Pool)
3769
3770
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3771
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3772
3773
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3774
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3775
3776
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3777
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3778
3779
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3780
3781
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3782
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3783
3784
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3785
(Andrew Bennetts)
3786
3787
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3788
3789
* Testing cleanups -
3790
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3791
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3792
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3793
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3794
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3795
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3796
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3797
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3798
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3799
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3800
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3801
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3802
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3803
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3804
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3805
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3806
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3807
(Robert Collins)
3808
3809
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3810
3811
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3812
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3813
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3814
3815
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3816
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3817
3818
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3819
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3820
3821
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3822
3823
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3824
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3825
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3826
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3827
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3828
same location. (Robert Collins)
3829
3830
INTERNALS:
3831
3832
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3833
3834
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3835
3836
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3837
3838
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3839
(Martin Pool)
3840
3841
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3842
(Martin Pool)
3843
3844
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3845
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3846
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3847
3848
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3849
3850
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3851
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3852
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3853
3854
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3855
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3856
3857
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3858
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3859
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3860
3861
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3862
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3863
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3864
3865
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3866
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3867
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3868
3869
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3870
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3871
Martin Pool)
3872
3873
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3874
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3875
3876
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3877
(Alexander Belchenko)
3878
3879
TESTING:
3880
3881
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3882
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3883
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3884
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3885
3886
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3887
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3888
testing. (Robert Collins)
3889
3890
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3891
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3892
3893
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3894
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3895
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3896
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3897
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3898
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3899
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3900
3901
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3902
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3903
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3904
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3905
3906
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3907
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3908
3909
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3910
avoid useless cloning.

3929
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3930
3931
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3932
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3933
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3934
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3935
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3936
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3937
and unlock() like so::
3938
3939
work_tree.lock_read()
3940
try:
3941
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3942
finally:
3943
work_tree.unlock()
3944
3945
INTERNALS:
3946
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3947
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3948
object.
3949
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3950
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3951
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3952
3953
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3954
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3955
too. (Robert Collins)
3956
3957
IMPROVEMENTS:
3958
3959
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3960
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3961
Aaron Bentley)
3962
3963
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3964
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3965
3966
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3967
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3968
3969
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3970
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3971
understanding what changes have occurred
3972
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3973
3974
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3975
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3976
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3977
3978
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3979
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3980
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3981
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3982
3983
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3984
#56322)
3985
3986
BUGFIXES:
3987
3988
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3989
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3990
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3991
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3992
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3993
3994
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3995
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3996
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3997
3998
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3999
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4000
4001
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4002
into account.
4003
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4004
4005
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4006
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4007
4008
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4009
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4010
4011
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4012
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4013
4014
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4015
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4016
4017
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4018
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4019
4020
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4021
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4022
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4025
--------------------
4026
4027
BUGFIXES:
4028
4029
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4030
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4031
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4032
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4033
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4034
4035
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4036
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4037
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4038
4039
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4040
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4041
4042
IMPROVEMENTS:
4043
4044
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4045
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4046
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4047
4048
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4049
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4050
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4051
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4054
-----------------------
4055
4056
BUGFIXES:
4057
4058
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4059
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4060
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4061
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4062
4063
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4064
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4065
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4066
4067
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4068
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4069
4070
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4071
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4072
4073
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4074
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

4077
-----------------------
4078
4079
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4080
4081
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4082
it could be recovered again.
4083
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4084
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4085
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4086
but not delete it.
4087
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4088
files.
4089
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4090
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4091
4092
IMPROVEMENTS:
4093
4094
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4095
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4096
4097
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4098
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4099
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4100
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4101
4102
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4103
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4104
4105
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4106
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4107
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4108
4109
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4110
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4111
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4112
4113
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4114
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4115
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4116
4117
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4118
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4119
Robert Collins)
4120
4121
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4122
Pool)
4123
4124
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4125
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4126
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4127
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4128
4129
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4130
(Robert Collins)
4131
4132
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4133
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4134
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4135
(Robert Collins)
4136
4137
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4138
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4139
4140
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4141
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4142
4143
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4144
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4145
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4146
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4147
(Robert Collins)
4148
4149
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4150
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4151
4152
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4153
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4154
4155
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4156
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.

* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4160
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4161
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4162
4163
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4164
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4165
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4166
4167
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4168
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4169
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4170
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4171
4172
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4173
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4174
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4175
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4176
4177
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4178
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4179
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4180
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4181
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4182
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4183
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4184
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4185
header(s).
4186
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4187
4188
INTERNALS:
4189
4190
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4191
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4192
4193
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4194
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4195
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4196
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4197
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4198
4199
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4200
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4201
4202
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4203
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4204
4205
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4206
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4207
4208
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4209
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4210
4211
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4212
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4213
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4214
(Robert Collins).
4215
4216
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4217
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4218
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4219
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4220
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4221
(Robert Collins)
4222
4223
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4224
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4225
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4226
4227
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4228
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4229
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4230
4231
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4232
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4233
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4234
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4235
4236
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4237
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4238
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4239
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4240
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4241
4242
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4243
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4244
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4245
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4246
4247
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4248
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4249
4250
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4251
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4252
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4253
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4254
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4255
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4256
4257
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4258
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4259
4260
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4261
help. (Robert Collins)
4262
4263
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4264
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4265
4266
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4267
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4268
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4269
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4270
(John Arbash Meinel)
4271
4272
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4273
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4274
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4275
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4276
useful. (Robert Collins)
4277
4278
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4279
(Andrew Bennetts)

4281
BUGFIXES:
4282
4283
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4284
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4285
4286
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4287
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4288
4289
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4290
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4291
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4292
4293
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4294
(Aaron Bentley)
4295
4296
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4297
the file, and does it faster.
4298
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4299
4300
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4301
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4302
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4303
4304
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4305
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4306
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4307
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4308
4309
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4310
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4311
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4312
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4313
4314
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4315
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4316
4317
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4318
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4319
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4320
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4321
Arbash Meinel)
4322
4323
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4324
4325
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4326
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4327
4328
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4329
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4330
4331
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4332
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4333
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4334
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4335
security hole.
4336
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4337
4338
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4340
4341
TESTING:
4342
4343
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4344
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4345
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4346
4347
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4348
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4349
4350
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4351
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4352
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4353
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4354
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4355
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4356
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4357
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4358
4359
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4360
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4361
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4362
4363
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4364
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4365
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4366
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4367
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4368
access.
4369
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4370
4371
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4372
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4373
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4374
4375
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4376
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
4395
4396
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4397
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4398
(Martin Pool)
4399
4400
IMPROVEMENTS:
4401
4402
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4403
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4404
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4405
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4406
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4407
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4408
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4409
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4410
path. (vila)
4411
4412
INTERNALS:
4413
4414
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4415
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4416
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4417
4418
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4419
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4420
(Martin Pool)
4421
4422
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4423
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4424
(John Arbash Meinel)
4425
4426
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4427
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4428
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4429
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4430
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4431
4432
BUGFIXES:
4433
4434
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4435
(vila, #92195)
4436
4437
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4438
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4439
4440
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4441
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4442
4443
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4444
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4445
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4446
4447
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4448
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4449
4450
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4451
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4452
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4453
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4454
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4455
4456
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4457
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4458
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4459
4460
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4464
-----------------------
4465
4466
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4467
4468
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4469
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4470
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4471
4472
IMPROVEMENTS:
4473
4474
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4475
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4476
4477
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4478
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4479
4480
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4481
4482
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4483
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4484
4485
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4486
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4487
4488
INTERNALS:
4489
4490
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4491
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4492
4493
BUGFIXES:
4494
4495
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4496
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4497
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4498
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4499
4500
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4501
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4502
4503
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4504
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4505
4506
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4507
(Marien Zwart)
4508
4509
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4514
-----------------------
4515
4516
SURPRISES:
4517
4518
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4519
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4520
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4521
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4522
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4523
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4524
4525
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4526
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4527
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4528
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4529
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4530
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4531
development.
4532
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4533
4534
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4535
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4536
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4537
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4538
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4539
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4540
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4541
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4542
4543
IMPROVEMENTS:
4544
4545
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4546
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4547
4548
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4549
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4550
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4551
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4552
does exist.
4553
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4554
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4555
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4556
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4557
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4558
4559
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4560
(Aaron Bentley)
4561
4562
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4563
(Aaron Bentley)
4564
4565
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4566
(Robert Collins)
4567
4568
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4569
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4570
(Aaron Bentley)
4571
4572
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4573
(Aaron Bentley)
4574
4575
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4576
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4577
4578
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4579
directory. (Martin Pool)
4580
4581
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4582
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4583
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4584
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4585
4586
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4587
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4588
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4589
in docs/configuration.txt.
4590
4591
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4592
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4593
bind location.
4594
4595
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4596
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4597
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4598
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4599
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4600
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4601
4602
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4603
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

4605
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4606
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4607
4608
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4609
(Aaron Bentley)
4610
4611
INTERNALS:
4612
4613
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4614
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4615
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4616
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4617
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4618
(John Arbash Meinel)
4619
4620
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4621
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4622
(Aaron Bentley)
4623
4624
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4625
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4626
(John Arbash Meinel)
4627
4628
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4629
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4630
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4631
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4632
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4633
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4634
4635
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4636
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4637
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4638
4639
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4640
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4641
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4642
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4643
repository.
4644
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4645
4646
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4647
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4648
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4649
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4650
4651
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4652
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4653
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4654
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4655
4656
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4657
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4658
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4659
4660
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4661
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4662
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4663
4664
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4665
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4666
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4667
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4668
4669
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4670
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4671
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4672
4673
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4674
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4675
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4676
4677
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4678
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4679
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4680
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4681
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4682
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4683
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4684
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4685
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

4687
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4688
4689
BUGFIXES:
4690
4691
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4692
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4693
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4694
4695
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4696
(Aaron Bentley)
4697
4698
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4699
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4700
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4701
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4702
4703
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4704
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4705
#83954).
4706
4707
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4708
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4709
4710
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4711
4712
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4713
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4714
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4715
4716
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4717
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4718
4719
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4720
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4721
4722
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4723
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4724
4725
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4726
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4727
4728
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4729
4730
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4731
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4732
4733
TESTING:
4734
4735
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

4742
IMPROVEMENTS:
4743
4744
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4745
4746
BUG FIXES:
4747
4748
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4749
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4750
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4751
4752
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4753
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4754
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4757
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4758
-----------------------
4759
4760
IMPROVEMENTS:
4761
4762
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4763
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4764
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4765
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4766
4767
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4768
(Marius Kruger)
4769
4770
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4771
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4772
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4773
4774
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4775
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4776
4777
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4778
(Aaron Bentley)
4779
4780
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4781
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4782
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4783
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4784
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4785
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4786
4787
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4788
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4789
should enable you to do::
4790
4791
[/home/user/project]
4792
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4793
push_location:policy = appendpath
4794
4795
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4796
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4797
(James Henstridge)
4798
4799
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4800
for each file. For example::
4801
4802
$ bzr status --short
4803
A foo
4804
A bar
4805
D baz
4806
? wooley
4807
4808
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4809
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4810
4811
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4812
4813
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4814
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4815
4816
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4817
4818
INTERNALS:
4819
4820
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4821
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4822
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4823
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4824
4825
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4826
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4827
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4828
4829
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4830
4831
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4832
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4833
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4834
(Alexander Belchenko)
4835
4836
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4837
Pool)
4838
4839
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4840
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4841
4842
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4843
4844
BUG FIXES:
4845
4846
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4847
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4848
4849
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4850
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4851
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4852
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4853
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4854
4855
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4856
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4857
4858
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4859
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4860
4861
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4862
matcher.
4863
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4864
4865
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4866
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4867
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4868
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4869
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4870
4871
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4872
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4873
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4874
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4875
4876
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4877
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4878
4879
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4880
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4881
4882
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4883
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4884
4885
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
4898
4899
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4900
tree from a branch.
4901
(Daniel Silverstone)
4902
4903
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4904
operations are substantially faster.
4905
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4906
4907
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4908
tree from some other url. For example:
4909
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4910
(Daniel Silverstone)
4911
4912
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4913
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4914
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4915
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4916
4917
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4918
(Andrew Bennetts)
4919
4920
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4921
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4922
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4923
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4924
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4925
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4926
4927
INTERNALS:
4928
4929
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4930
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4931
(Martin Pool)
4932
4933
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4934
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4935
(John Arbash Meinel)
4936
4937
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4938
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4939
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4940
(John Arbash Meinel)
4941
4942
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4943
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4944
4945
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4946
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4947
4948
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4949
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4950
Bennetts)
4951
4952
BUG FIXES:
4953
4954
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4955
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4956
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4957
4958
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4959
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4960
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4961
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4962
4963
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4964
4965
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4966
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4967
4968
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4969
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4970
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4972
4973
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4974
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4975
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4976
4977
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4978
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4979
them as full references rather than integers.
4980
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4981
4982
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4983
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4984
4985
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4986
4987
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4988
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4989
4990
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4991
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4992
4993
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4994
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4995
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4996
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4997
4998
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4999
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5000
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5001
5002
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5003
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5004
5005
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5006
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5007
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5008
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5009
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5010
5011
TESTING:
5012
5013
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5014
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

5026
-----------------------

5028
IMPROVEMENTS:
5029
5030
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5031
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5032
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5033
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5034
5035
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5036
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5037
5038
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5039
5040
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5041
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5042
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5043
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5044
5045
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5046
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5047
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5048
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5049
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5050
5051
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5052
5053
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5054
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5055
5056
INTERNALS:
5057
5058
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5059
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5060
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5061
5062
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5063
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5064
(John Arbash Meinel)
5065
5066
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5067
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5068
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5069
5070
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5071
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5072
(Aaron Bentley)
5073
5074
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5075
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5076
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5077
5078
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5079
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5080
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5081
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5082
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5083
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5084
5085
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5086
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5087
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5088
(Robert Collins)
5089
5090
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5091
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5092
5093
BUG FIXES:
5094
5095
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5096
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5097
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5098
#63360, #66349)
5099
5100
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5101
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5102
5103
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5104
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5105
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5106
5107
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5108
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5109
5110
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5111
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5112
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5113
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5114
5115
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5116
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5117
5118
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5119
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5120
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5121
5122
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5123
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5124
5125
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5126
5127
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5128
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5129
#32054)
5130
5131
TESTING:
5132
5133
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5134
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5135
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5136
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5137
5138
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5139
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5140
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5141
5142
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
5143
--------------------
5144
5145
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5146
5147
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5148
-----------------------
5149
5150
BUG FIXES:
5151
5152
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5153
5154
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5155
Arbash Meinel).
5156
5157
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5158
-----------------------
5159
5160
IMPROVEMENTS:
5161
5162
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5163
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5164
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5165
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5166
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5167
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5168
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5169
5170
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5171
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5172
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5173
5174
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5175
5176
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5177
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5178
5179
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5180
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5181
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5182
(Robert Collins)
5183
5184
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5185
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5186
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5187
(John Arbash Meinel)
5188
5189
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5190
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5191
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5192
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5193
Pool)
5194
5195
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5196
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5197
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5198
(John Arbash Meinel)
5199
5200
BUG FIXES:
5201
5202
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5203
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5204
5205
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5206
5207
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5208
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5209
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5210
5211
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5212
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5213
5214
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5215
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5216
5217
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5218
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5219
5220
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5221
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5222
5223
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5224
5225
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5226
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5227
5228
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5229
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5230
5231
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5232
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5233
5234
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5235
(John Arbash Meinel)
5236
5237
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5238
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5239
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5240
5241
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5242
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5243
5244
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5245
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5246
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5247
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5248
5249
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5250
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5251
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5252
5253
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5254
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5255
5256
PORTABILITY:
5257
5258
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5259
5260
INTERNALS:
5261
5262
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5263
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5264
(John Arbash Meinel)
5265
5266
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5267
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5268
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5269
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5270
5271
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5272
(Andrew Bennetts)
5273
5274
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5275
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5276
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5277
5278
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5279
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5280
5281
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5282
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5283
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5284
5285
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5286
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5287
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5288
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5289
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5290
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5291
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5292
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5293
caller to repeat their request.
5294
(John Arbash Meinel)
5295
5296
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5297
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5298
5299
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5300
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5301
5302
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5303
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5304
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5305
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5306
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5307
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5308
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5309
5310
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5311
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5312
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5313
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5314
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5315
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5316
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5317
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5318
(Robert Collins)
5319
5320
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5321
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5322
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5323
5324
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5325
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5326
5327
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5328
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5329
5330
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5331
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5332
5333
TESTING:
5334
5335
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5336
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5337
5338
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5339
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5340
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5341
5342
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5343
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5344
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5345
5346
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5347
--------------------
5348
5349
IMPROVEMENTS:
5350
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5351
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5352
5353
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5354
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5355
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5356
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5357
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5358
5359
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5360
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5361
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5362
5363
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5364
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5365
5366
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5367
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5368
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5369
5370
BUG FIXES:
5371
5372
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5373
5374
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5375
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5376
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5377
5378
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5379
5380
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5381
5382
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5383
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5384
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5385
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5386
5387
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5388
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5389
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5390
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5391
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5392
5393
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5394
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5395
5396
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5397
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5398
5399
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5400
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5401
5402
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5403
in handling of revision properties.
5404
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5405
5406
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5407
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5408
5409
INTERNALS:
5410
5411
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5412
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5413
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5414
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5415
(John Arbash Meinel)
5416
5417
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5418
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5419
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5420
5421
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5422
---------------------
5423
5424
SURPRISES:
5425
5426
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5427
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5428
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5429
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5430
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5431
a more conservative list than the old default.
5432
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5433
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5434
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5435
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5436
5437
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5438
to more locations than just branch locations.
5439
(Aaron Bentley)
5440
5441
IMPROVEMENTS:
5442
5443
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5444
revno:N:branch. For example,
5445
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5446
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5447
5448
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5449
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5450
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5451
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5452
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5453
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5454
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5455
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5456
#42517, #42514)
5457
5458
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5459
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5460
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5461
(Malone #3507)
5462
5463
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5464
(Alexander Belchenko)
5465
5466
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5467
5468
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5469
(Robert Collins).
5470
5471
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5472
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5473
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5474
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5475
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5476
(John Arbash Meinel)
5477
5478
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5479
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5480
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5481
grained analysis of performance.
5482
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5483
5484
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5485
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5486
5487
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5488
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5489
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5490
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5491
file. (Robert Collins).
5492
5493
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5494
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5495
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5496
5497
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5498
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5499
Matthieu Moy)
5500
5501
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5502
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5503
5504
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5505
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5506
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5507
the same way you would apply another branch.
5508
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5509
5510
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5511
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5512
5513
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5514
(Michael Ellerman)
5515
5516
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5517
(Aaron Bentley)
5518
5519
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5520
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5521
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5522
5523
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5524
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5525
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5526
5527
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5528
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5529
5530
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5531
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5532
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5533
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5534
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5535
5536
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5537
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5538
5539
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5540
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5541
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5542
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5543
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5544
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5545
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5546
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5547
5548
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5549
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5550
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5551
5552
BUG FIXES:
5553
5554
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5555
tests not to run.
5556
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5557
5558
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5559
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5560
5561
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5562
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5563
5564
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5565
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5566
5567
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5568
5569
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5570
(John Arbash Meinel)
5571
5572
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5573
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5574
5575
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5576
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5577
and y.
5578
5579
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5580
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5581
5582
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5583
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5584
5585
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5586
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5587
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5588
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5589
5590
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5591
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5592
5593
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5594
5595
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5596
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5597
5598
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5599
5600
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5601
5602
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5603
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5604
5605
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5606
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5607
5608
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5609
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5610
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5611
5612
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5613
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5614
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5615
5616
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5617
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5618
5619
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5620
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5621
5622
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5623
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5624
5625
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5626
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5627
5628
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5629
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5630
5631
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5632
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5633
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5634
5635
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5636
5637
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5638
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5639
5640
INTERNALS:
5641
5642
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5643
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5644
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5645
5646
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5647
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5648
5649
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5650
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5651
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5652
5653
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5654
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5655
5656
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5657
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5658
(Martin Pool)
5659
5660
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5661
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5662
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5663
5664
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5665
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5666
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5667
5668
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5669
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5670
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5671
5672
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5673
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5674
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5675
5676
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5677
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5678
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5679
5680
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5681
instead. (Robert Collins)
5682
5683
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5699
5700
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5701
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5702
5703
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5704
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
5717
5718
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check

5721
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5722
5723
NEW FEATURES:
5724
5725
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

5740
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5741
-------------------
5742
5743
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5744
5745
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5746
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5747
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5748
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5749
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5750
will keep the same format.
5751
5752
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5753
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5754
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5755
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5756
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5757
5758
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5759
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5760
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5761
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5762
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5763
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5764
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5765
5766
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5767
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5768
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5769
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5770
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5771
5772
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5773
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5774
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5775
arrangement.
5776
5777
5778
IMPROVEMENTS:
5779
5780
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5781
convention. Paths now take the form::
5782
5783
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5784
or
5785
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5786
5787
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5788
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5789
5790
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5791
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5792
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5793
5794
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5795
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5796
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5797
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5798
5799
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5800
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5801
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5802
5803
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5804
5805
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5806
5807
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5808
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5809
commits::
5810
5811
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5812
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5813
| xargs bzr re-sign
5814
5815
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5816
5817
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5818
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5819
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5820
(Robert Collins)
5821
5822
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5823
5824
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5825
5826
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5827
'.moved'.
5828
5829
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5830
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5831
5832
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5833
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5834
Daniel Silverstone)
5835
5836
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5837
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5838
Martin Pool)
5839
5840
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5841
5842
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5843
5844
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5845
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5846
5847
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5848
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5849
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5850
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5851
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5852
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5853
5854
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5855
5856
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5857
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5858
(Robert Collins)
5859
5860
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5861
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5862
5863
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5864
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5865
5866
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5867
5868
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5869
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5870
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5871
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5872
specification by Martin Pool.
5873
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5874
5875
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5876
Belchenko)
5877
5878
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5879
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5880
5881
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5882
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5883
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5884
5885
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5886
5887
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5888
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5889
(Robert Collins)
5890
5891
CHANGES:
5892
5893
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5894
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5895
5896
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5897
5898
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5899
5900
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5901
(Olaf Conradi)
5902
5903
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5904
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5905
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5906
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5907
5908
INTERNALS:
5909
5910
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5911
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5912
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5913
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5914
5915
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5916
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5917
tried. (Martin Pool)
5918
5919
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5920
(Martin Pool)
5921
5922
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5923
5924
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5925
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5926
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5927
5928
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5929
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5930
5931
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5932
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5933
paths. (Robert Collins)
5934
5935
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5936
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5937
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5938
5939
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5940
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5941
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5942
5943
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5944
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5945
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5946
5947
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5948
(Olaf Conradi)
5949
5950
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5951
(Olaf Conradi)
5952
5953
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5954
5955
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5956
5957
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5958
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5959
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5960
(Robert Collins)
5961
5962
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5963
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5964
5965
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5966
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5967
check. (Robert Collins)
5968
5969
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5970
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5971
5972
TESTING:
5973
5974
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5975
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5976
5977
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5978
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5979
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5980
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5981
5982
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5983
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5984
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5985
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5986
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5987
5988
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5989
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5990
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5991
5992
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5993
5994
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5995
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5996

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5998
------------------
5999
6000
CHANGES:
6001
6002
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6003
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6004
6005
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6006
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6007
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6008
(Johan Rydberg)
6009
6010
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6011
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6012
6013
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6014
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6015
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6016
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6017
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6018
6019
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6020
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6021
used. (Robert Collins)
6022
6023
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6024
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6025
(James Henstridge)
6026
6027
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6028
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6029
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6030
6031
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6032
ignore list.
6033
6034
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6035
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6036
6037
IMPROVEMENTS:
6038
6039
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6040
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6041
6042
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6043
6044
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6045
6046
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6047
tree. (Robert Collins)
6048
6049
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6050
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6051
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6052
(Robert Collins)
6053
6054
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6055
that they be kept.
6056
6057
* Tweaks to short log printing
6058
6059
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6060
(Aaron Bentley)
6061
6062
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6063
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6064
6065
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6066
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6067
6068
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6069
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6070
6071
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6072
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6073
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6074
6075
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6076
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6077
6078
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6079
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6080
requests.
6081
6082
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6083
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6084
6085
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6086
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6087
6088
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6089
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6090
6091
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6092
(Denys Duchier)
6093
6094
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6095
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6096
6097
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6098
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6099
6100
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6101
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6102
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6103
6104
BUG FIXES:
6105
6106
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6107
6108
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6109
6110
* Error when run with -OO
6111
6112
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6113
(Martin Pool)
6114
6115
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6116
6117
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6118
6119
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6120
ignored by diff and status
6121
6122
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6123
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6124
6125
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6126
6127
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6128
6129
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6130
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6131
6132
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6133
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6134
6135
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6136
(Harald Meland)
6137
6138
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6139
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6140
6141
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6142
6143
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6144
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6145
6146
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6147
(Martin Pool)
6148
6149
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6150
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6151
6152
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6153
6154
TESTING:
6155
6156
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6157
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6158
6159
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6160
6161
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6162
6163
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6164
6165
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6166
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6167
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6168
6169
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6170
6171
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6172
(John Arbash Meinel)
6173
6174
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6175
6176
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6177
If adding a new test script please add that to
6178
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6179
6180
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6181
imported. (Martin Pool)
6182
6183
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6184
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6185
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6186
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6187
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6188
(Robert Collins)
6189
6190
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6191
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6192
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6193
6194
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6195
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6196
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6197
6198
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6199
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6200
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6201
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6202
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6203
(Robert Collins).
6204
6205
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6206
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6207
(Robert Collins).
6208
6209
INTERNALS:
6210
6211
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6212
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6213
6214
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6215
function. (Robert Collins)
6216
6217
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6218
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6219
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6220
6221
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6222
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6223
(Robert Collins)
6224
6225
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6226
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6227
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6228
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6229
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6230
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6231
version. (Robert Collins)
6232
6233
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6234
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6235
6236
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6237
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6238
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6239
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6240
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6241
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6242
6243
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6244
(Robert Collins)
6245
6246
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6247
6248
add()
6249
commit()
6250
move()
6251
rename_one()
6252
unknowns()
6253
6254
(Robert Collins)
6255
6256
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6257
6258
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6259
6260
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6261
Pool)
6262
6263
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6264
query method. (Robert Collins)
6265
6266
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6267
(Denys Duchier)
6268
6269
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6270
(Michael Ellerman)
6271
6272
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6273
(Michael Ellerman)
6274
6275
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6276
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6277
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6278
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6279
6280
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6281
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6282
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6283
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6284
6285
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6286
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6287
6288
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6289
------------------
6290
6291
IMPROVEMENTS:
6292
6293
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6294
(John A Meinel)
6295
6296
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6297
conflicts.
6298
(Aaron Bentley)
6299
6300
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6301
a separator, not ':'.
6302
(Aaron Bentley)
6303
6304
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6305
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6306
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6307
6308
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6309
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6310
(Robert Collins)
6311
6312
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6313
has been added that suppresses all output.
6314
6315
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6316
Adams.
6317
6318
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6319
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6320
6321
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6322
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6323
6324
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6325
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6326
6327
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6328
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6329
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6330
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6331
6332
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6333
6334
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6335
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6336
6337
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6338
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6339
6340
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6341
output directory, if one was supplied.
6342
6343
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6344
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6345
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6346
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6347
6348
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6349
6350
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6351
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6352
6353
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6354
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6355
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6356
6357
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6358
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6359
6360
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6361
(Aaron Bentley)
6362
6363
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6364
6365
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6366
6367
TESTING:
6368
6369
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6370
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6371
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6372
6373
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6374
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6375
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6376
6377
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6378
is given. (Martin Pool)
6379
6380
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6381
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6382
file. (Robert Collins)
6383
6384
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6385
(Martin Pool)
6386
6387
INTERNALS:
6388
6389
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6390
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6391
representation. (Martin Pool).
6392
6393
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6394
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6395
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6396
6397
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6398
(Robert Collins)
6399
6400
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6401
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6402
Magnus Therning.
6403
6404
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6405
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6406
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6407
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6408
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6409
6410
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6411
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6412
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6413
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6414
python path. (Robert Collins)
6415
6416
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6417
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6418
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6419
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6420
6421
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6422
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6423
6424
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6425
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6426
(Robert Collins)
6427
6428
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6429
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6430
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6431
6432
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6433
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6434
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6435
6436
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6437
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6438
6439
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6440
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6441
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6442
(Robert Collins)
6443
6444
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6445
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6446
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6447
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6448
(Robert Collins)
6449
6450
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6451
(Robert Collins)
6452
6453
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6454
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6455
(Robert Collins)
6456
6457
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6458
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6459
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6460
6461
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6462
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6463
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6464
6465
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6466
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6467
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6468
6469
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6470
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6471
6472
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6473
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6474
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6475
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6476
caller. (Robert Collins)
6477
6478
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6479
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6480
(Robert Collins).
6481
6482
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6483
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6484
(Aaron Bentley)
6485
6486
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6487
6488
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6489
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6490
6491
BUG FIXES:
6492
6493
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6494
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6495
6496
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6497
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6498
6499
6500
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6501
--------------------
6502
6503
BUG FIXES:
6504
6505
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6506
allow directories to be listed.
6507
6508
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6509
upgrading branch format.
6510
6511
PERFORMANCE:
6512
6513
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6514
6515
6516
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6517
------------------
6518
6519
NOTES:
6520
6521
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6522
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6523
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6524
high-latency connections.
6525
6526
BUG FIXES:
6527
6528
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6529
Rob Weir.
6530
6531
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6532
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6533
6534
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6535
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6536
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6537
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6538
6539
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6540
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6541
6542
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6543
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6544
6545
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6546
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6547
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6548
6549
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6550
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6551
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6552
Robert Collins
6553
6554
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6555
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6556
6557
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6558
different partial views of history.
6559
6560
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6561
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6562
6563
IMPROVEMENTS:
6564
6565
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6566
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6567
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6568
6569
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6570
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6571
'bzr upgrade'.
6572
6573
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6574
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6575
6576
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6577
Niemeyer.
6578
6579
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6580
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6581
6582
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6583
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6584
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6585
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6586
6587
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6588
6589
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6590
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6591
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6592
6593
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6594
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6595
6596
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6597
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6598
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6599
6600
6601
INTERNALS:
6602
6603
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6604
for your viewing pleasure.
6605
6606
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6607
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6608
6609
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6610
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6611
handling of such circumstances.
6612
6613
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6614
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6615
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6616
6617
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6618
6619
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6620
we call them revisions not patches.
6621
6622
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6623
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6624
6625
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6626
giving the revision *of that file*.
6627
6628
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6629
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6630
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6631
6632
TESTING:
6633
6634
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6635
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6636
6637
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6638
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6639
6640
6641
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6642
--------------------
6643
6644
BUG FIXES:
6645
6646
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6647
6648
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6649
(Robert Collins).
6650
6651
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6652
6653
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6654
6655
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6656
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6657
6658
IMPROVEMENTS:
6659
6660
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6661
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6662
6663
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6664
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6665
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6666
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6667
Robey Pointer
6668
6669
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6670
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6671
6672
INTERNALS:
6673
6674
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6675
6676
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6677
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6678
6679
6680
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6681
--------------------
6682
6683
IMPROVEMENTS:
6684
6685
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6686
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6687
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6688
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6689
Michael Ellerman.
6690
6691
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6692
(Nir Soffer)
6693
6694
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6695
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6696
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6697
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6698
for the operating system is still tried.
6699
6700
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6701
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6702
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6703
6704
6705
INTERNALS:
6706
6707
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6708
6709
BUG FIXES:
6710
6711
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6712
6713
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6714
branch.
6715
6716
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6717
read.
6718
6719
6720
PORTABILITY:
6721
6722
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6723
6724
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6725
6726
6727
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6728
--------------------
6729
6730
NEW FEATURES:
6731
6732
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6733
help with intelligent shell completion.
6734
6735
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6736
6737
6738
ENHANCEMENTS:
6739
6740
* Much better merge support.
6741
6742
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6743
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6744
like emacs smerge.
6745
6746
6747
BUG FIXES:
6748
6749
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6750
mention revisions that are not present.
6751
6752
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6753
6754
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6755
6756
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6757
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6758
6759
6760
CHANGES:
6761
6762
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6763
6764
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6765
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6766
--help themselves.
6767
6768
6769
LIBRARY:
6770
6771
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6772
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6773
libraries.
6774
6775
6776
6777
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6778
--------------------
6779
6780
NEW FEATURES:
6781
6782
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6783
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6784
6785
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6786
6787
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6788
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6789
6790
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6791
FOO.
6792
6793
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6794
6795
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6796
the Unix command.
6797
6798
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6799
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6800
6801
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6802
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6803
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6804
6805
6806
ENHANCEMENTS:
6807
6808
* Faster working tree operations.
6809
6810
6811
CHANGES:
6812
6813
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6814
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6815
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6816
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6817
6818
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6819
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6820
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6821
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6822
standard plugins directory.
6823
6824
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6825
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6826
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6827
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6828
6829
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6830
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6831
6832
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6833
disk.
6834
6835
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6836
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6837
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6838
6839
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6840
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6841
6842
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6843
line options must come before the command name because they
6844
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6845
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6846
it.
6847
6848
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6849
6850
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6851
is available with ``--short``.
6852
6853
6854
BUG FIXES:
6855
6856
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6857
6858
6859
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6860
---------------------
6861
6862
CHANGES:
6863
6864
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6865
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6866
6867
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6868
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6869
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6870
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6871
6872
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6873
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6874
with the ``--forward`` option.
6875
6876
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6877
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6878
field.
6879
6880
6881
ENHANCEMENTS:
6882
6883
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6884
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6885
6886
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6887
6888
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6889
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6890
6891
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6892
6893
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6894
either read or write mode.
6895
6896
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6897
6898
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6899
affected that file.
6900
6901
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6902
6903
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6904
suggested by LarstiQ.
6905
6906
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6907
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6908
6909
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6910
a filename.
6911
6912
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6913
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6914
6915
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6916
haven't changed since the previous time.
6917
6918
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6919
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6920
6921
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6922
6923
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6924
6925
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6926
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6927
6928
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6929
options through to an external GNU diff.
6930
6931
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6932
their contents.
6933
6934
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6935
from a branch.
6936
6937
6938
BUG FIXES:
6939
6940
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6941
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6942
6943
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6944
metacharacters.

* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6950
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6951
the tests.
6952
6953
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6954
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6955
6956
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6957
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6958
6959
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6960
under a different version.
6961
6962
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6963
6964
6965
INTERNAL:
6966
6967
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6968
6969
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6970
Scott James Remnant.
6971
6972
* Better help messages for many commands.
6973
6974
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6975
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6976
6977
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6978
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6979
6980
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6981
6982
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6983
6984
* New AtomicFile class.
6985
6986
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6987
6988
6989
PORTABILITY:
6990
6991

6996
---------------------
6997
6998
ENHANCEMENTS:
6999
7000
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7001
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7002
7003
* More default ignore patterns.
7004
7005
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7006
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7007
7008
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7009
7010
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7011
by Jason Diamon.
7012
7013
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7014
7015
7016
CHANGES:
7017
7018
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7019
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7020
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7021
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7022
there are DNS problems.
7023
7024
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7025
7026
7027
BUG FIXES:
7028
7029
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7030
7031

7034
trailing newlines properly.
7035
7036
7037
INTERNAL:
7038
7039
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7040
Matt Brubeck.
7041
7042
* More tests in test.sh.
7043
7044
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7045
directory and delete it when done.
7046
7047
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7048
7049
7050
PORTABILITY:
7051
7052
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7053
Bennetts.
7054
7055
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7056
from QuantumG.

7079
CHANGES:
7080
7081
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7082
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7083
will do for now.)
7084
7085
PORTABILITY:
7086
7087
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7088
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro

7123
branch.
7124
7125
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
7126
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7127
7128
* Performance improvements.
7129
7130
* New global --profile option.
7131
7132
