5
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
9
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
10
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
11
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
12
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
13
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
14
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
15
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
16
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
17
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
18
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
19
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
23
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
24
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
26
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
27
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
28
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
29
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
31
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
32
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
33
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
34
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
35
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
37
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
40
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
43
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
46
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
47
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
50
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
53
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
54
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
56
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
57
directory. (Martin Pool)
59
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
60
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
61
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
62
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
64
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
65
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
66
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
67
in docs/configuration.txt.
69
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
70
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
73
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
74
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
75
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
76
at present. (Martin Pool)
78
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
79
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
81
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
82
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
87
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
88
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
89
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
90
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
91
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
94
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
95
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
98
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
99
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
102
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
103
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
104
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
105
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
106
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
108
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
109
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
110
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
112
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
113
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
114
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
115
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
117
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
119
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
120
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
121
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
122
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
124
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
125
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
126
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
127
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
129
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
130
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
131
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
133
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
134
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
135
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
137
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
138
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
139
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
140
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
142
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
143
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
144
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
146
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
147
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
148
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
152
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
153
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
154
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
156
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
159
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
160
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
161
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
162
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
164
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
165
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
168
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
169
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
171
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
173
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
174
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
176
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
177
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
179
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
184
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
185
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
192
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
196
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
197
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
198
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
200
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
201
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
202
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
205
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
209
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
210
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
211
server, then you can write over the http connection.
212
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
214
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
217
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
218
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
219
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
221
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
222
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
224
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
227
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
228
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
229
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
230
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
231
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
232
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
234
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
235
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
236
should enable you to do::
239
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
240
push_location:policy = appendpath
242
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
243
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
246
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
247
for each file. For example::
255
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
256
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
258
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
260
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
261
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
263
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
267
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
268
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
269
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
270
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
272
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
273
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
274
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
276
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
278
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
279
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
280
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
281
(Alexander Belchenko)
283
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
286
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
287
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
289
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
293
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
294
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
296
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
297
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
298
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
299
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
300
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
302
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
303
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
305
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
306
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
308
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
310
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
312
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
313
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
314
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
315
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
316
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
318
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
319
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
320
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
321
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
323
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
324
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
326
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
327
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
329
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
330
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
332
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
333
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
335
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
340
No changes from 0.13rc1
342
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
346
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
350
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
351
operations are substantially faster.
352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
354
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
355
tree from some other url. For example:
356
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
359
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
360
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
361
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
362
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
364
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
367
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
368
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
369
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
370
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
371
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
372
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
376
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
377
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
380
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
381
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
384
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
385
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
386
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
389
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
390
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
392
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
393
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
398
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
399
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
402
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
403
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
404
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
405
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
407
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
409
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
410
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
412
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
413
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
414
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
415
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
417
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
418
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
419
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
421
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
422
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
423
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
426
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
427
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
429
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
431
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
432
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
434
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
435
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
437
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
438
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
439
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
440
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
442
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
443
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
444
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
446
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
447
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
449
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
450
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
451
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
452
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
453
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
457
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
458
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
464
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
465
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
468
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
472
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
473
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
474
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
475
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
477
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
478
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
480
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
482
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
483
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
484
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
485
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
487
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
488
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
489
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
490
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
495
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
496
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
500
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
501
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
502
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
504
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
505
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
508
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
509
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
510
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
512
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
513
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
516
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
517
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
518
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
520
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
521
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
522
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
523
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
524
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
525
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
527
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
528
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
529
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
532
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
533
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
537
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
538
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
539
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
542
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
543
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
545
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
546
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
547
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
549
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
550
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
552
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
553
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
554
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
555
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
557
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
558
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
560
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
561
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
562
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
564
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
565
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
567
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
569
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
570
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
575
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
576
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
577
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
578
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
580
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
581
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
582
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
586
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
588
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27

bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
601
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
602
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
603
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
604
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
605
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
606
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
607
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
609
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
610
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
611
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
613
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
615
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
616
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
618
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
619
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
620
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
623
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
624
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
625
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
628
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
629
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
630
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
631
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
634
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
635
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
636
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
641
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
642
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
644
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
646
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
647
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
648
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
650
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
651
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
653
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
654
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
656
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
657
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
659
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
660
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
662
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
664
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
665
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
667
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
668
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
670
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
671
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
673
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
676
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
677
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
678
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
680
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
681
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
683
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
684
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
685
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
686
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
688
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
689
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
690
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
692
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
693
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
697
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
701
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
702
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
705
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
706
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
707
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
708
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
710
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
713
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
714
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
715
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
717
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
718
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
720
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
721
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
722
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
724
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
725
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
726
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
727
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
728
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
729
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
730
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
731
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
734
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
735
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
737
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
738
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
740
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
741
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
742
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
743
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
744
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
745
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
746
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
748
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
749
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
750
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
751
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
752
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
753
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
754
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
755
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
758
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
759
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
760
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
762
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
763
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
765
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
766
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
768
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
769
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
773
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
774
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
776
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
777
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
780
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
781
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
782
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
787
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
788
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
790
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
791
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
792
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
793
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
794
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
796
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
797
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
798
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
800
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
801
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
803
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
804
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
805
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
809
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
811
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
812
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
813
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
815
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
817
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
819
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
820
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
821
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
822
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
824
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
825
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
826
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
827
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
828
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
830
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
831
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
833
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
834
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
836
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
837
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
839
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
840
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
843
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
844
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
848
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
849
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
850
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
851
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
854
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
855
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
856
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
862
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
863
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
864
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
865
specific one '.bzrignore'.
866
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
867
a more conservative list than the old default.
868
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
869
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
870
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
871
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
873
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
874
to more locations than just branch locations.
879
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
880
revno:N:branch. For example,
881
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
882
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
884
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
885
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
886
the path of a file that has been versioned.
887
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
888
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
889
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
890
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
891
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
894
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
895
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
896
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
899
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
900
(Alexander Belchenko)
902
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
904
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
907
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
908
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
909
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
910
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
911
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
914
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
915
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
916
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
917
grained analysis of performance.
918
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
920
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
921
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
923
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
924
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
925
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
926
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
927
file. (Robert Collins).
929
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
930
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
931
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
933
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
934
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
937
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
938
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
940
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
941
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
942
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
943
the same way you would apply another branch.
944
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
946
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
947
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
949
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
952
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
955
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
956
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
957
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
959
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
960
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
961
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
963
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
964
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
966
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
967
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
968
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
969
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
970
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
972
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
973
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
975
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
976
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
977
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
978
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
979
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
980
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
981
branch is as much as 4x faster.
982
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
984
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
985
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
986
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
990
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
991
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
994
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
995
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
997
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
998
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1000
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1001
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1003
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1005
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1006
(John Arbash Meinel)
1008
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1009
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1011
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1012
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1015
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1016
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1018
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1019
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1021
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1022
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1023
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1024
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1026
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1027
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1029
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1031
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1032
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1034
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1036
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1038
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1039
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1041
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1042
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1044
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1045
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1046
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1048
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1049
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1050
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1052
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1053
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1055
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1056
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1058
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1059
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1061
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1062
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1064
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1065
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1067
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1068
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1069
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1071
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1073
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1074
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1078
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1079
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1080
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1082
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1083
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1085
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1086
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1087
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1089
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1090
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1092
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1093
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1096
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1097
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1098
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1100
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1101
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1102
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1104
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1105
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1106
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1108
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1109
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.

1113
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1114
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)

1135
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1137
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1138
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

1159
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1160
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1161
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1165
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1166
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1167
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1171
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1172
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1176
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1178
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1179
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1180
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1181
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1182
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1183
will keep the same format.
1185
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1186
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1187
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1188
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1189
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1191
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1192
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1193
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1194
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1195
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1196
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1197
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1199
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1200
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1201
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1202
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1203
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1205
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1206
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1207
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1213
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1214
convention. Paths now take the form:
1215
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1217
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1219
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1220
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1222
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1223
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1224
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1226
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1227
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1228
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1229
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1231
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1232
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1235
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1237
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1239
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1240
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
1241
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1242
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1245
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1247
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1248
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1249
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1252
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1254
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1256
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1259
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1260
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1262
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1263
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1266
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1267
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1270
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1272
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1274
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1275
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1277
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1278
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1279
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1280
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1281
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1282
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1284
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1286
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1287
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1290
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1291
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1293
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1294
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1296
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1298
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1299
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1300
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1301
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1302
specification by Martin Pool.
1303
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1305
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1308
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1309
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1311
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1312
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1313
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1315
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1317
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1318
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1323
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1324
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1326
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1328
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1330
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1333
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1334
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1335
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1336
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1340
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1341
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1342
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1343
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1345
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1346
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1347
tried. (Martin Pool)
1349
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1352
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1354
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1355
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1356
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1358
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1359
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1361
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1362
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1363
paths. (Robert Collins)
1365
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1366
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1367
needs. (Robert Collins)
1369
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1370
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1371
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1373
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1374
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1376
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1379
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1382
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1384
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1386
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1387
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1388
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1391
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1392
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1394
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1395
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1396
check. (Robert Collins)
1398
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1399
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1403
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1404
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1406
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1407
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1408
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1409
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1411
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1412
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1413
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1414
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1415
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1417
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1418
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1419
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1421
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1423
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1424
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1430
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1431
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1433
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1434
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1435
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1438
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1439
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1441
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1442
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1443
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1444
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1445
(John Arbash Meinel)
1447
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1448
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1449
used. (Robert Collins)
1451
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1452
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1455
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1456
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1457
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1459
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1462
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1463
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1467
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1468
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1470
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1472
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1474
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1475
tree. (Robert Collins)
1477
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1478
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1479
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1482
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1485
* Tweaks to short log printing
1487
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1490
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1491
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1493
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1494
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1496
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1497
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1499
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1500
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1501
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1503
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1504
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1506
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1507
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1510
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1511
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1513
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1514
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1516
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1517
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1519
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1522
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1523
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1525
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1526
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1528
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1529
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1530
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1534
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1536
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1538
* Error when run with -OO
1540
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1543
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1545
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1547
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1548
ignored by diff and status
1550
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1551
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1553
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1555
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1557
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1558
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1560
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1561
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1563
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1566
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1567
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1569
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1571
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1572
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1574
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1577
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1580
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1584
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1585
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1587
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1589
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1591
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1593
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1594
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1595
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1597
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1599
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1600
(John Arbash Meinel)
1602
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1604
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1605
If adding a new test script please add that to
1606
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1608
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1609
imported. (Martin Pool)
1611
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1612
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1613
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1614
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1615
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1618
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1619
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1620
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1622
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1623
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1624
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1626
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1627
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1628
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1629
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1630
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1633
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1634
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1639
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1640
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1642
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1643
function. (Robert Collins)
1645
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1646
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1647
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1649
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1650
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1652
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1653
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1654
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1655
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1656
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1657
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1658
version. (Robert Collins)
1660
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1661
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1663
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1664
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1665
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1666
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1667
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1668
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1670
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1673
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1681
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1683
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1685
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1688
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1689
query method. (Robert Collins)
1691
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1694
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1697
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1701
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1702
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1703
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1704
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1706
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1707
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1708
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1709
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1711
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1712
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1718
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1721
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1725
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1726
a separator, not ':'.
1729
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1730
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1731
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1733
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1734
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1737
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1738
has been added that suppresses all output.
1740
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1743
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1744
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1746
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1747
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1749
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1750
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1752
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1753
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1754
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1755
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1757
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1759
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1760
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1762
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1763
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1765
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1766
output directory, if one was supplied.
1768
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1769
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1770
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1771
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1773
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1775
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1776
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1778
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1779
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1780
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1782
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1783
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1785
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1788
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1790
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1794
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1795
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1796
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1798
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1799
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1800
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1802
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1803
is given. (Martin Pool)
1805
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1806
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1807
file. (Robert Collins)
1809
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1814
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1815
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1816
representation. (Martin Pool).
1818
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1819
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1820
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1822
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1825
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1826
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1829
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1830
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1831
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1832
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1833
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1835
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1836
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1837
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1838
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1839
python path. (Robert Collins)
1841
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1842
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1843
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1844
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1846
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1847
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1849
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1850
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1853
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1854
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1855
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1857
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1858
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1859
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1861
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1862
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1864
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1865
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1866
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1869
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1870
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1871
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1872
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1875
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1878
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1879
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1882
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1883
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1884
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1886
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1887
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1888
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1890
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1891
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1892
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1894
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1895
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1897
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1898
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1899
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1900
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1901
caller. (Robert Collins)
1903
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1904
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1907
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1908
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1910
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1912
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1913
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1917
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1918
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1920
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1921
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1924
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1928
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1929
allow directories to be listed.
1931
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1932
upgrading branch format.
1936
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1943
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1944
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1945
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1946
high-latency connections.
1950
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1953
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1954
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1956
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1957
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1958
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1959
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1961
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1962
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1964
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1965
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1967
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1968
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1969
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1971
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1972
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1973
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1976
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1977
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1979
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1980
different partial views of history.
1982
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1983
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1987
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1988
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1989
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1991
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1992
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1995
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1996
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1998
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2001
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2002
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2004
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2005
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2006
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2007
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2009
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2011
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2012
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2015
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2016
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2018
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2019
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2020
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2025
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2026
for your viewing pleasure.
2028
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2029
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2031
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2032
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2033
handling of such circumstances.
2038
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2039
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2041
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2042
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2045
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2049
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2051
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2054
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2056
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2058
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2059
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2063
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2064
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2066
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2067
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2068
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2069
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2072
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2073
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2077
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2079
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2080
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2083
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2087
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2088
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2089
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2090
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2093
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2096
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2097
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2098
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2099
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2100
for the operating system is still tried.
2102
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2103
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2104
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2109
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2113
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2115
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2118
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2124
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2126
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2129
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2133
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2134
help with intelligent shell completion.
2136
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2141
* Much better merge support.
2143
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2144
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2150
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2151
mention revisions that are not present.
2153
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2155
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2157
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2158
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2163
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2165
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2166
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2172
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2173
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2178
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2182
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2183
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2185
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2187
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2188
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2190
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2193
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2195
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2198
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2199
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2201
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2202
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2203
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2208
* Faster working tree operations.
2213
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2214
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2215
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2216
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2218
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2219
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2220
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2221
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2222
standard plugins directory.
2224
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2225
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2226
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2227
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2229
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2230
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2232
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2235
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2236
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2237
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2239
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2240
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2242
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2243
line options must come before the command name because they
2244
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2245
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2248
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2250
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2251
is available with ``--short``.
2256
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2259
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2263
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2264
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2266
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2267
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2268
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2269
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2271
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2272
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2273
with the ``--forward`` option.
2275
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2276
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2282
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2283
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2285
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2287
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2288
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2290
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2292
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2293
either read or write mode.
2295
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2297
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2300
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2302
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2303
suggested by LarstiQ.
2305
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2306
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2308
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2311
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2312
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2314
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2315
haven't changed since the previous time.
2317
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2318
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2320
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2322
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2324
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2325
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2327
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2328
options through to an external GNU diff.
2330
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2333
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2339
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2340
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2342
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2348
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2349
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2352
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2353
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2355
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2356
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2358
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2359
under a different version.
2361
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2366
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2368
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2369
Scott James Remnant.
2371
* Better help messages for many commands.
2373
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2374
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2376
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2377
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2379
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2381
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2383
* New AtomicFile class.
2385
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2390
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2391
2.4 is now only recommended.
2394
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2398
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2399
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2401
* More default ignore patterns.
2403
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2404
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2406
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2408
