5
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
11
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
12
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
14
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
16
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
18
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
19
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
22
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
23
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
26
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
29
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
30
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
32
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
33
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
37
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
38
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
40
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
41
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
43
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
44
the repository (Robert Collins)
46
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
47
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
48
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
49
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
50
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
52
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
53
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
55
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
56
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
59
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
60
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
61
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
63
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
64
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
65
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
68
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
69
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
72
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
73
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
75
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
78
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
79
more robust against email mangling. (Aaron Bentley)
81
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
83
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
84
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
88
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
89
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
90
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
91
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
93
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
97
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
98
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
99
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
100
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
102
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
103
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
104
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
105
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
106
tests have been refactored too.
109
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
110
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
111
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
115
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
116
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
117
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
119
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
120
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
121
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
122
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
123
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
124
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
125
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
127
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
128
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
129
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
130
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
133
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
134
functionality for testing.
136
* New ``file_names.FileNames`` support class which mananges names
137
for unlistable transport situations. (Robert Collins)
139
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
141
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
142
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
144
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato SimĂł)
146
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
149
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
150
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
152
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
153
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
154
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
158
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
159
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
160
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
162
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
163
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
170
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
173
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
177
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
178
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
180
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
181
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
182
(James Westby, #122656)
184
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
185
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
187
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
188
authentication header.
189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
191
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato SimĂł, #120591)
193
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
194
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
196
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
198
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
201
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
202
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
205
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
206
individually and as part of revision ranges.
209
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
210
(Martin Pool, #109169)
212
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
215
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
216
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
218
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
220
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato SimĂł).
224
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
225
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
226
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
227
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
228
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
229
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
231
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
232
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
233
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato SimĂł)
235
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
238
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
239
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
241
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
242
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
244
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
245
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
247
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
248
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
249
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
250
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
251
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
253
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
254
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
256
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
257
can be slow it is useful feedback).
258
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
260
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
261
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
263
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
265
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
266
output. (Aaron Bentley)
268
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
269
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
272
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
275
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
276
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
278
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
279
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
281
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
282
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
284
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
286
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
287
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
289
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
296
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
297
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
298
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;

``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
300
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.

``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
304
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
305
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
306
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
307
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
308
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
309
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
310
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
311
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
314
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
316
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
317
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
318
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
320
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
321
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
323
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
324
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
326
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
328
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
329
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
330
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
331
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
332
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
333
same location. (Robert Collins)
337
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato SimĂł)
339
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato SimĂł)
341
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato SimĂł)
343
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
346
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
349
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
350
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
351
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
353
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
355
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
356
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
357
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
359
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
360
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
362
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
363
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
364
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
366
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
367
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
368
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
370
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
371
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
372
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
374
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
375
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
378
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
379
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
381
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
382
(Alexander Belchenko)
386
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
387
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
388
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
389
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
391
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
392
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
393
testing. (Robert Collins)
395
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
396
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
398
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
399
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
400
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
401
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
402
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
403
attribute during the test parameterisation in
404
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
406
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
407
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
408
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
409
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
411
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
412
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
414
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
415
avoid useless cloning.
416
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
423
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
424
(Colin Watson, #120647)
426
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
432
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
434
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
435
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
436
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
437
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
438
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
439
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
440
and unlock() like so::
442
work_tree.lock_read()
444
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
449
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
450
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
452
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
453
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
454
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
456
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
457
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
458
too. (Robert Collins)
462
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
463
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
466
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
469
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
470
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
472
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
473
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
474
understanding what changes have occurred
475
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
477
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
478
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
479
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
481
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
482
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
483
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
484
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
486
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
491
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
492
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
493
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
494
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
495
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
497
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
498
based on split paths, not just string paths.
499
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
501
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
504
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
506
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
508
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
509
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
511
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
512
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
514
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
515
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
517
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
518
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
520
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
521
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
523
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
524
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
525
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
531
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
532
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
533
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
534
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
535
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
537
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
538
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
539
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
541
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
542
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
546
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
547
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
548
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
550
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
551
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
552
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
553
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
555
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
559
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
560
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
561
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
562
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
564
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
565
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
566
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
568
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
569
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
571
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
572
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
574
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
575
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
577
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
579
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
581
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
582
it could be recovered again.
583
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
584
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
585
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
587
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
589
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
590
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
594
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
595
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
597
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
598
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
599
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
600
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
602
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
603
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
605
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
606
tests with names that match that regular expression.
607
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
609
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
610
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
611
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
613
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
614
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
615
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
617
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
618
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
621
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
624
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
625
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
626
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
627
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
629
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
632
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
633
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
634
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
637
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
638
(Erik BĂĄgfors, Alexander Belchenko)
640
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
641
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
643
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
644
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
645
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
646
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
649
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
650
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
652
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
653
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
655
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
656
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
657
(Robert Collins, #107125).
659
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
660
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
661
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
663
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
664
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
665
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
667
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
668
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
669
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
670
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
672
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
673
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
674
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
675
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
677
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
678
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
679
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
680
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
681
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
682
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
683
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
684
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
690
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
691
code paths. (Robert Collins)
693
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
694
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
695
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
696
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
697
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
699
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
700
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
702
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
703
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
705
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
706
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
708
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
709
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
711
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
712
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
713
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
716
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
717
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
718
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
719
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
720
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
723
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
724
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
725
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
727
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
728
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
731
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
732
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
733
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
736
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
737
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
738
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
739
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
740
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
742
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
743
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
744
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
745
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
747
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
748
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
750
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
751
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
752
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
753
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
754
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
755
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
757
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
758
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
760
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
761
help. (Robert Collins)
763
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
764
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
766
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
767
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
768
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
769
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
772
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
773
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
774
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
775
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
776
useful. (Robert Collins)
778
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
783
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
784
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
786
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
787
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
789
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
790
properly and is no longer beneficial.
791
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
793
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
796
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
797
the file, and does it faster.
798
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
800
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
801
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
802
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
804
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
805
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
806
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
807
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
809
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
810
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
811
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
812
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
814
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
815
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
817
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
818
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
819
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
820
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
823
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
825
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
826
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
828
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
829
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
831
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
832
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
833
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
834
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
838
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
839
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
843
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
844
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
845
in running it. (Robert Collins)
847
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
848
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
850
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
851
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
852
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
853
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
854
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
855
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
856
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
857
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
859
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
860
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
861
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
863
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
864
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
865
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
866
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
867
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
869
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
871
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
872
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
873
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
875
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
876
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
883
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
886
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
887
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
890
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
894
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
895
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
900
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
901
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
902
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
903
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
904
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
905
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
906
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
907
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
912
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
913
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
914
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
916
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
917
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
920
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
921
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
924
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
925
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
926
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
927
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
928
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
932
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
935
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
936
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
938
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
939
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
941
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
942
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
943
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
945
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
946
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
948
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
949
last-changed-revision for directories. The
950
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
951
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
952
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
954
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
955
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
956
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
958
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
961
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
963
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
965
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
966
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
967
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
971
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
972
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
974
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
975
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
977
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
979
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
980
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
982
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
983
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
987
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
992
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
993
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
994
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
995
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
997
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
998
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1000
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1001
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1003
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1006
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1007
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1010
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1014
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1015
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1016
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1017
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1018
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1019
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1021
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1022
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1023
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1024
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1025
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1026
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1028
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1030
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1031
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1032
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1033
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1034
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1035
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1036
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1037
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1041
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1042
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1044
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1045
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1046
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1047
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1049
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1050
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1051
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1052
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1053
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1055
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1058
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1061
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1064
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1065
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1068
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1071
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1072
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1074
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1075
directory. (Martin Pool)
1077
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1078
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1079
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1080
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1082
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1083
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1084
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1085
in docs/configuration.txt.
1087
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1088
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1091
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1092
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1093
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1094
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1095
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1096
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1098
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1099
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1101
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1102
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1104
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1109
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1110
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1111
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1112
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1113
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1114
(John Arbash Meinel)
1116
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1117
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1120
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1121
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1122
(John Arbash Meinel)
1124
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1125
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1126
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1127
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1128
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1129
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1131
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1132
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1133
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1135
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1136
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1137
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1138
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1140
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1142
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1143
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1144
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1145
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1147
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1148
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1149
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1150
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1152
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1153
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1154
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1156
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1157
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1158
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1160
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1161
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1162
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1163
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1165
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1166
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1167
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1169
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1170
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1171
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1173
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1174
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1175
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1176
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1177
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1178
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1179
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1180
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1181
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1182
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1183
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1187
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1188
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1189
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1191
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1194
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1195
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1196
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1197
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1199
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1200
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1203
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1204
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1206
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1208
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1209
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1210
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1212
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1213
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1215
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1216
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1218
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1219
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1221
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1222
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1224
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1226
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1227
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1231
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1232
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1239
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1243
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1244
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1245
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1247
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1248
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1249
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1252
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1256
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1257
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1258
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1259
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1261
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1264
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1265
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1266
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1268
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1269
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1271
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1274
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1275
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1276
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1277
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1278
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1279
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1281
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1282
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1283
should enable you to do::
1285
[/home/user/project]
1286
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1287
push_location:policy = appendpath
1289
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1290
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1293
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1294
for each file. For example::
1296
$ bzr status --short
1302
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1303
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1305
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1307
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1308
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1310
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1314
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1315
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1316
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1317
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1319
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1320
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1321
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1323
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1325
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1326
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1327
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1328
(Alexander Belchenko)
1330
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1333
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1334
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1336
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1340
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1341
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1343
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1344
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1345
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1346
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1347
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1349
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1350
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1352
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1353
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1355
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1357
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1359
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1360
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1361
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1362
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1363
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1365
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1366
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1367
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1368
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1370
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1371
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1373
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1374
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1376
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1377
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1379
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1380
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1385
No changes from 0.13rc1
1387
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1391
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1393
(Daniel Silverstone)
1395
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1396
operations are substantially faster.
1397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1399
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1400
tree from some other url. For example:
1401
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1402
(Daniel Silverstone)
1404
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1405
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1406
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1407
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1409
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1412
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1413
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1414
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1415
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1416
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1417
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1421
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1422
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1425
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1426
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1427
(John Arbash Meinel)
1429
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1430
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1431
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1432
(John Arbash Meinel)
1434
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1435
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1437
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1438
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1440
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1441
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1446
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1447
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1448
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1450
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1451
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1452
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1453
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1455
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1457
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1458
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1460
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1461
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1462
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1465
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1466
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1467
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1469
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1470
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1471
them as full references rather than integers.
1472
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1474
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1475
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1477
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1479
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1480
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1482
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1483
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1485
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1486
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1487
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1488
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1490
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1491
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1492
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1494
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1495
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1497
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1498
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1499
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1500
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1501
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1505
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1506
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1512
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1513
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1514
(John Arbash Meinel)
1516
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1520
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1521
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1522
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1523
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1525
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1526
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1528
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1530
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1531
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1532
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1533
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1535
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1536
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1537
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1538
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1539
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato SimĂł)
1541
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1543
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1544
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1548
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1549
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1550
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1552
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1553
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1554
(John Arbash Meinel)
1556
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1557
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1558
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1560
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1561
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1564
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1565
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1566
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1568
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1569
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1570
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1571
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1572
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1573
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1575
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1576
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1577
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1580
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1581
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1585
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1586
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1587
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1590
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1591
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1593
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1594
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1595
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1597
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1598
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1600
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1601
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1602
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1603
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1605
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1606
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1608
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1609
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1610
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1612
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1613
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1615
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1617
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1618
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1623
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1624
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1625
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1626
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1628
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1629
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1630
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1634
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1636
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1640
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1642
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1645
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1649
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1650
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1651
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1652
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1653
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1654
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1655
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1657
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1658
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1659
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1661
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1663
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1664
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1666
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1667
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1668
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1671
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1672
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1673
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1674
(John Arbash Meinel)
1676
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1677
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1678
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1679
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1682
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1683
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1684
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1685
(John Arbash Meinel)
1689
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1690
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1692
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1694
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1695
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1696
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1698
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1699
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1701
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1702
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1704
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1707
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1708
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1710
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1712
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1713
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1715
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1716
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1718
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1719
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1721
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1722
(John Arbash Meinel)
1724
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1725
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1726
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1728
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1729
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1731
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1732
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1733
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1734
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1736
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1737
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1738
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1740
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1741
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1745
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1749
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1750
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1751
(John Arbash Meinel)
1753
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1754
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1755
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1756
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1758
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1761
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1762
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1763
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1765
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1766
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1768
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1769
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1770
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1772
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1773
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1774
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1775
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1776
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1777
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1778
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1779
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1780
caller to repeat their request.
1781
(John Arbash Meinel)
1783
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1784
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1786
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1787
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1789
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1790
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1791
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1792
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1793
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1794
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1795
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1797
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1798
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1799
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1800
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1801
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1802
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1803
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1804
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1807
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1808
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1809
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1811
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1812
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1814
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1815
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1817
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1818
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1822
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1823
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1825
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1826
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1827
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1829
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1830
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1831
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1836
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1837
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1839
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1840
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1841
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1842
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1843
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1845
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1846
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1847
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1849
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1850
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1852
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1853
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1854
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1858
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1860
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1861
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1862
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1864
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1866
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1868
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1869
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1870
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1871
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1873
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1874
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1875
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1876
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1877
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1879
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1880
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1882
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1883
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1885
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1886
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1888
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1889
in handling of revision properties.
1890
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1892
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1893
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1897
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1898
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1899
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1900
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1901
(John Arbash Meinel)
1903
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1904
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1905
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1907
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1911
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1912
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1913
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1914
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1915
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1916
a more conservative list than the old default.
1917
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1918
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1919
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1920
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1922
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1923
to more locations than just branch locations.
1928
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1929
revno:N:branch. For example,
1930
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1931
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1933
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1934
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1935
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1936
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1937
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1938
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1939
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1940
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1943
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1944
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1945
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1948
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1949
(Alexander Belchenko)
1951
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1953
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1956
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1957
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1958
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1959
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1960
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1961
(John Arbash Meinel)
1963
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1964
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1965
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1966
grained analysis of performance.
1967
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1969
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1970
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1972
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1973
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1974
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1975
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1976
file. (Robert Collins).
1978
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1979
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1980
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1982
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1983
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1986
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1987
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1989
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1990
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1991
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1992
the same way you would apply another branch.
1993
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1995
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1996
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1998
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2001
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2004
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2005
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2006
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2008
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2009
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2010
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2012
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2013
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2015
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2016
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2017
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2018
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2019
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2021
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2022
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2024
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2025
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2026
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2027
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2028
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2029
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2030
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2031
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2033
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2034
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2035
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2039
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2041
(Erik BĂĄgfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2043
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2044
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2046
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2047
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2049
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2050
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2052
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2054
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2055
(John Arbash Meinel)
2057
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2058
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2060
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2061
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2064
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2065
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2067
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2068
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2070
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2071
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2072
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2073
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2075
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2076
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2078
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2080
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2081
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2083
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2085
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2087
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2088
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2090
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2091
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2093
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2094
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2095
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2097
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2098
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2099
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2101
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2102
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2104
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2105
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2107
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2108
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2110
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2111
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2113
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2114
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2116
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2117
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2118
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2120
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2122
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2123
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2127
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2128
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2129
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2131
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2132
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2134
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2135
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2136
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2138
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2139
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2141
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2142
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2145
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2146
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2147
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2149
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2150
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2151
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2153
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2154
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2155
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2157
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2158
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2159
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2161
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2162
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2163
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2165
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2166
instead. (Robert Collins)
2168
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2170
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2174
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2176
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2180
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2181
Robert Collins, Erik BĂĄgfors, #43959)
2183
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2184
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2186
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2187
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2188
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2192
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2194
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2195
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2197
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2201
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2202
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2203
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2204
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2208
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2209
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2210
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2214
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2215
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2216
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2220
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2221
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2225
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2227
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2228
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2229
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2230
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2231
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2232
will keep the same format.
2234
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2235
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2236
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2237
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2238
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2240
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2241
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2242
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2243
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2244
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2245
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2246
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2248
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2249
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2250
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2251
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2252
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2254
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2255
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2256
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2262
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2263
convention. Paths now take the form::
2265
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2267
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2269
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2270
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2272
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2273
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2274
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2276
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2277
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2278
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2279
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2281
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2282
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2283
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2285
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik BĂĄgfors)
2287
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik BĂĄgfors)
2289
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2290
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2293
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2294
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2297
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2299
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2300
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2301
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2304
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2306
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2308
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2311
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2312
their own formatters. (Erik BĂĄgfors)
2314
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2315
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2318
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2319
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2322
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2324
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2326
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2327
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik BĂĄgfors, Robert Collins)
2329
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2330
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2331
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2332
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2333
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2334
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2336
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2338
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2339
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2342
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2343
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2345
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2346
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2348
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2350
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2351
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2352
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2353
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2354
specification by Martin Pool.
2355
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2357
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2360
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2361
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2363
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2364
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2365
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2367
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2369
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2370
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2375
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2376
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2378
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2380
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2382
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2385
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2386
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2387
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2388
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2392
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2393
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2394
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2395
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2397
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2398
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2399
tried. (Martin Pool)
2401
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2404
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2406
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2407
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2408
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2410
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2411
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2413
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2414
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2415
paths. (Robert Collins)
2417
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2418
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2419
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2421
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2422
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2423
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2425
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2426
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2427
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2429
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2432
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2435
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2437
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2439
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2440
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2441
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2444
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2445
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2447
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2448
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2449
check. (Robert Collins)
2451
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2452
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2456
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2457
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2459
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2460
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2461
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2462
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2464
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2465
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2466
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2467
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2468
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2470
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2471
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2472
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2474
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2476
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2477
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2483
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2484
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2486
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2487
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2488
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2491
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2492
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2494
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2495
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2496
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2497
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2498
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2500
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2501
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2502
used. (Robert Collins)
2504
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2505
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2508
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2509
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2510
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2512
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2515
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2516
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2520
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2521
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2523
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2525
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2527
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2528
tree. (Robert Collins)
2530
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2531
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2532
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2535
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2538
* Tweaks to short log printing
2540
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2543
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2544
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2546
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2547
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2549
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2550
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2552
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2553
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2554
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2556
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2557
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2559
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2560
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2563
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2564
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2566
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2567
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2569
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2570
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2572
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2575
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2576
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2578
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2579
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2581
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2582
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2583
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2587
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2589
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2591
* Error when run with -OO
2593
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2596
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2598
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2600
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2601
ignored by diff and status
2603
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2604
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2606
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2608
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2610
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2611
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2613
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2614
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2616
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2619
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2620
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2622
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2624
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2625
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2627
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2630
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2631
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2633
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2637
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2638
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2640
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2642
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2644
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2646
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2647
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2648
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2650
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2652
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2653
(John Arbash Meinel)
2655
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2657
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2658
If adding a new test script please add that to
2659
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2661
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2662
imported. (Martin Pool)
2664
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2665
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2666
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2667
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2668
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2671
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2672
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2673
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2675
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2676
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2677
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2679
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2680
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2681
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2682
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2683
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2686
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2687
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2692
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2693
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2695
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2696
function. (Robert Collins)
2698
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2699
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2700
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2702
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2703
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2706
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2707
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2708
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2709
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2710
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2711
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2712
version. (Robert Collins)
2714
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2715
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2717
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2718
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2719
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2720
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2721
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2722
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2724
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2727
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2737
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2739
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2741
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2744
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2745
query method. (Robert Collins)
2747
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2750
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2753
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2756
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2757
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2758
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2759
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2761
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2762
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2763
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2764
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2766
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2767
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2773
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2776
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2780
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2781
a separator, not ':'.
2784
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2785
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2786
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2788
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2789
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2792
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2793
has been added that suppresses all output.
2795
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2798
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2799
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2801
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2802
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2804
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2805
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2807
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2808
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2809
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2810
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2812
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2814
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2815
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2817
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2818
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2820
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2821
output directory, if one was supplied.
2823
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2824
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2825
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2826
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2828
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2830
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2831
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2833
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2834
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2835
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2837
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2838
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2840
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2843
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2845
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2849
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2850
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2851
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2853
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2854
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2855
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2857
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2858
is given. (Martin Pool)
2860
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2861
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2862
file. (Robert Collins)
2864
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2869
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2870
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2871
representation. (Martin Pool).
2873
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2874
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2875
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2877
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2880
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2881
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2884
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2885
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2886
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2887
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2888
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2890
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2891
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2892
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2893
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2894
python path. (Robert Collins)
2896
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2897
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2898
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2899
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2901
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2902
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2904
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2905
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2908
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2909
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2910
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2912
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2913
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2914
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2916
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2917
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2919
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2920
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2921
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2924
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2925
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2926
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2927
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2930
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2933
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2934
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2937
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2938
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2939
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2941
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2942
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2943
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2945
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2946
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2947
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2949
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2950
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2952
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2953
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2954
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2955
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2956
caller. (Robert Collins)
2958
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2959
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2962
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2963
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2966
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2968
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2969
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2973
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2974
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2976
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2977
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2980
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2984
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2985
allow directories to be listed.
2987
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2988
upgrading branch format.
2992
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2999
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3000
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3001
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3002
high-latency connections.
3006
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3009
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3010
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3012
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3013
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3014
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3015
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3017
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3018
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3020
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3021
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3023
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3024
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3025
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3027
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3028
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3029
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3032
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3033
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3035
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3036
different partial views of history.
3038
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3039
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3043
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3044
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3045
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3047
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3048
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3051
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3052
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3054
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3057
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3058
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3060
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3061
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3062
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3063
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3065
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3067
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3068
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3071
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3072
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3074
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3075
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3076
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3081
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3082
for your viewing pleasure.
3084
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3085
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3087
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3088
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3089
handling of such circumstances.
3091
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3092
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3093
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3095
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3097
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3098
we call them revisions not patches.
3100
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3101
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3103
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3104
giving the revision *of that file*.
3106
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3107
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3108
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3112
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3113
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3115
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3116
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3119
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3123
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3125
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3128
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3130
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3132
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3133
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3137
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3138
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3140
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3141
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3142
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3143
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3146
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3147
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3151
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3153
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3154
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3157
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3161
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3162
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3163
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3164
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3167
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3170
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3171
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3172
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3173
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3174
for the operating system is still tried.
3176
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3177
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3178
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3183
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3187
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3189
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3192
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3198
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3200
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3203
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3207
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3208
help with intelligent shell completion.
3210
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3215
* Much better merge support.
3217
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3218
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3224
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3225
mention revisions that are not present.
3227
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3229
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3231
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3232
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3237
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3239
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3240
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3246
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3247
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3252
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3256
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3257
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3259
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3261
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3262
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3264
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3267
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3269
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3272
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3273
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3275
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3276
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3277
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3282
* Faster working tree operations.
3287
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3288
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3289
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3290
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3292
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3293
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3294
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3295
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3296
standard plugins directory.
3298
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3299
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3300
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3301
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3303
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3304
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3306
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3309
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3310
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3311
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3313
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3314
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3316
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3317
line options must come before the command name because they
3318
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3319
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3322
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3324
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3325
is available with ``--short``.
3330
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3333
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3337
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3338
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3340
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3341
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3342
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3343
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3345
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3346
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3347
with the ``--forward`` option.
3349
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3350
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3356
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3357
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3359
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3361
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3362
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3364
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3366
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3367
either read or write mode.
3369
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3371
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3374
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3376
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3377
suggested by LarstiQ.
3379
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3380
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3382
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3385
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3386
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3388
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3389
haven't changed since the previous time.
3391
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3392
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3394
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3396
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3398
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3399
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3401
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3402
options through to an external GNU diff.
3404
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3407
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3413
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3414
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3416
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3422
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3423
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3426
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3427
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3429
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3430
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3432
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3433
under a different version.
3435
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3440
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3442
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3443
Scott James Remnant.
3445
* Better help messages for many commands.
3447
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3448
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3450
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3451
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3453
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3455
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3457
* New AtomicFile class.
3459
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3464
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3465
