:Codename: Monkey Magic
12
:2.2b4: NOT RELEASED YET
23
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
24
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
25
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
26
(Robert Collins, #177500)
28
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
29
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
30
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
35
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
36
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
37
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
38
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
44
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
46
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
47
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
48
development). (Robert Collins)
53
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
54
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
55
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead.
70
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
71
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
72
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
73
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
74
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
75
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
76
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
77
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
83
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
84
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
85
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
86
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
87
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
88
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
91
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
92
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
94
(Parth Malwankar, #549310)
96
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
97
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
98
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
100
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
101
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
102
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
107
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
109
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
111
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
112
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
113
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
114
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
116
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
117
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
119
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
121
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
122
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
123
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
125
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
126
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
127
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
128
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
129
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
131
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
132
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
133
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
134
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
136
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
137
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
138
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
145
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
146
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
147
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
149
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
150
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
152
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
154
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
155
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
156
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
158
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
159
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
161
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
162
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
166
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
167
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
168
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
169
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
170
(Robert Collins, #583667)
172
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
173
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
174
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
176
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
179
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
182
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
185
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
186
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
187
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
189
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
191
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
192
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
194
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
196
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
198
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
199
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
200
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
202
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
203
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
205
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
206
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
207
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
209
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
210
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
211
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
212
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
214
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
215
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
216
to support this efficiently.
217
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
219
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
221
(Martin Pool, #491763)
223
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
224
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
226
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
227
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
229
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
230
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
232
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
234
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
235
(Robert Collins, #558343)
237
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
238
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
239
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
240
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
245
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
246
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
247
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
248
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
249
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
250
(case-sensitive) as false.
251
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
253
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
254
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
255
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
257
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
258
be interpreted as a boolean.
261
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
262
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
263
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
264
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
265
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
273
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
274
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
277
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
278
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
279
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
280
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
281
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
285
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
286
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
287
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
288
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
289
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
290
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
292
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
293
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
294
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
295
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
296
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
297
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
298
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
303
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
304
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
305
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
306
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
308
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
311
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
312
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
313
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
314
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
316
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
318
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
319
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
320
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
321
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
323
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
324
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
325
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #66923)
330
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
331
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
334
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
335
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
337
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
338
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
341
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
342
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.
350
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
351
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
352
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
353
of these would be welcome.
359
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
360
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
365
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
366
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
367
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
368
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
371
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
372
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
373
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
374
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
376
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
377
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
379
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
380
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
381
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
383
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
384
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
386
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
389
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
392
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
393
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
394
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
396
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
397
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
398
which is not installed any more" error.
399
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
401
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
402
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
403
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
404
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
407
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
408
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
412
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
413
(Martin von Gagern, 387117)
418
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
419
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
420
(Robert Collins, #530265)
422
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
423
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
426
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
429
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
432
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
433
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
434
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
435
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
436
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
438
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
439
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
440
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
442
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
444
(Martin Pool, #553017)
449
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
450
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
453
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
454
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
459
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
460
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
461
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
462
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
473
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
474
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
476
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
477
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
480
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
481
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
483
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
484
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
486
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
487
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
488
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
489
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
490
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
493
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
494
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
495
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
500
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
501
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
503
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
504
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
505
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
507
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
508
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
509
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
510
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
511
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
513
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
514
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
517
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
518
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
519
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
521
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
522
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
523
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
524
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
525
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
526
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
528
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
529
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
532
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
533
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
534
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
537
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
538
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
543
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
544
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
546
* Allow additional arguments to
547
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
549
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
550
(Michal Junák, #511987)
552
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
553
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
554
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
555
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
557
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
560
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
561
(Martin Pool, #331095)
563
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
564
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
566
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
569
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
570
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
571
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
573
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
574
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
575
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
576
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
577
(Robert Collins, #396261)
579
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
580
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
583
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
584
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
586
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
587
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
590
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
591
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
592
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
594
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
595
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
597
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
599
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
600
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
602
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
603
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
604
(Martin Pool, #528722)
606
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
607
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
610
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
613
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
614
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
615
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
617
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
618
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
619
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
620
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
622
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
624
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
625
deletion is involved.
626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
628
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
629
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
630
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
632
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
633
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
634
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
636
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
637
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
639
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
640
the debugger won't kill the session.
641
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
643
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
644
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
646
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
647
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
648
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
650
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
651
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
656
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
657
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
660
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
661
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
663
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
664
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
666
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
667
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
668
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
669
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
671
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
672
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
673
to be done separately.
674
(Martin Pool, #507710)
676
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
677
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
680
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
681
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
683
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
684
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
686
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
689
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
695
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
696
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
698
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
699
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
700
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
702
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
703
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
704
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
705
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
708
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
709
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
711
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
712
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
714
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
715
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
721
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
722
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
723
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
725
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
728
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
729
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
732
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
733
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
734
dependency regressions.
737
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
738
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
740
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
741
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
743
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
744
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
745
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
746
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
747
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
748
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
755
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
756
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
757
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
762
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
763
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
764
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
766
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
767
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
769
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
770
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
771
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
773
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
775
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
777
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
779
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
780
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
781
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
782
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
785
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
786
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
788
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
789
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
791
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
792
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
793
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
794
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
799
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
800
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
801
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
802
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
804
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
812
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
813
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
818
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
819
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
820
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
821
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
823
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
824
(Martin Pool, #331095)
826
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
828
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
831
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
832
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
834
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
836
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
837
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
838
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
840
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
841
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
842
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
843
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
844
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
846
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
847
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
849
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
850
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
851
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
856
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
858
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
860
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
861
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
866
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
867
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
868
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
869
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
875
:Codename: Strasbourg
878
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
879
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
880
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
882
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
883
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
884
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
885
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
886
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
887
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
889
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
894
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
895
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
897
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
898
(Martin Pool, #513432)
900
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
901
when it encounters conflicts.
902
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
904
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
905
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
907
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
908
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
909
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
910
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
911
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
912
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
914
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
915
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
916
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
921
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
927
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
928
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
931
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
932
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
935
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
936
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
938
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
939
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
940
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
941
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
942
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
943
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
944
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
945
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
947
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
954
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
955
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
956
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
958
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
963
* The ``remove_index`` method of
964
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
965
argument. This argument was always ignored.
966
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
971
:Codename: after the bubbles
972
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
974
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
975
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
980
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
981
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
982
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
983
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
984
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
985
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
986
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
992
:Codename: the 'new' stable
993
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
995
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
996
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
997
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
998
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
999
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1000
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1001
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1002
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1003
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
1009
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1010
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1012
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1013
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1016
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1017
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1018
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1021
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1022
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1024
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1025
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1027
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1028
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1029
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1031
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1032
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1033
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1034
Martin Pool, #45719)
1036
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1037
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1038
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1040
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1041
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1042
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1043
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1044
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1045
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1047
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1048
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1049
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1050
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
1051
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
1056
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1057
user-specified commit message editor.
1058
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1060
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1061
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1062
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1064
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1065
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1066
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1068
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1069
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1071
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1072
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1073
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1074
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1075
another process already removed the file.
1076
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1078
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1079
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1081
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1082
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1083
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1085
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1086
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1088
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1091
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1094
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1095
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1097
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1098
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1099
depended on this behaviour.
1100
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1102
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1103
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1104
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1105
should appear up-to-date.)
1106
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
1111
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1112
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1113
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1114
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1116
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1117
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1119
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1120
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1121
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1123
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1124
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1125
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1127
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1128
(__monty__, #257170)
1130
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1131
Bazaar is doing network IO.
1137
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1138
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1140
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1141
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1143
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1144
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1146
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1147
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1149
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1150
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1151
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1153
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1156
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1157
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
1163
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1166
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1167
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1168
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1169
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1171
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1172
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1173
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1175
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1176
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1178
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1179
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1180
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1181
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1183
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1189
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1190
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1191
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1193
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1194
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1195
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1196
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1198
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1199
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1204
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1205
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1206
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1207
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1208
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1210
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1211
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1212
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1213
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1214
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1215
suite. (Robert Collins)
1217
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1218
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1219
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1221
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1222
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
1228
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
1233
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
1234
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
1235
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1237
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1238
both working tree and branch.
1239
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1241
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1242
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1243
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1245
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1246
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1248
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1249
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1250
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1251
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1252
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1254
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1255
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1256
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1257
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1259
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1260
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1261
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1262
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1270
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1271
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1272
earlier 2.0 releases.
1277
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1278
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1280
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1281
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1282
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1283
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1284
another process already removed the file.
1285
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1287
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1288
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1290
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1292
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1293
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1294
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1296
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
1298
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1299
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1301
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1302
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1303
``UnboundLocalError``.
1304
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1306
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1307
version number along with rest of the help text.
1308
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1310
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
1312
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
1317
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
1318
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
1320
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1321
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1327
:Codename: smooth sailing
1330
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
1331
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
1332
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
1333
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
1339
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
1340
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
1342
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
1343
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
1344
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
1345
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
1347
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
1348
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
1349
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
1350
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
1351
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
1353
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
1354
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
1355
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
1357
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
1358
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
1359
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
1360
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
1362
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
1363
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
1365
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
1366
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
1367
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
1368
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
1369
(Martin Pool, #456077)
1371
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
1372
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
1373
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
1374
users, rather than something nicer.
1375
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
1377
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
1378
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
1380
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
1381
build. (there is still the distutils bug
1382
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
1384
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
1385
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
1386
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
1388
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
1389
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
1390
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
1391
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
1392
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
1394
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
1395
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
1396
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
1401
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
1402
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
1403
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
1404
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
1413
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
1414
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
1415
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
1416
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
1417
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
1418
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
1421
Compatibility Breaks
1422
********************
1424
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
1425
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
1426
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
1427
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
1428
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
1433
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
1434
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
1436
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
1437
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
1439
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
1440
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
1442
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
1443
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
1444
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
1445
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
1449
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
1450
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
1458
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
1459
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
1460
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
1462
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
1463
and issues a warning.
1464
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
1466
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
1468
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
1469
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
1471
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
1472
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
1473
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
1474
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
1476
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
1478
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
1479
(Robert Collins, #84659)
1481
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
1483
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
1484
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
1486
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
1488
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
1489
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1491
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1492
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1493
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1494
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
1496
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
1497
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
1499
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1500
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1502
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1503
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1504
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1506
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1507
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1508
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1509
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1511
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1512
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1513
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1515
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1516
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1517
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1518
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
1520
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
1521
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
1522
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
1528
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1530
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
1531
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1533
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
1534
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
1535
(John Arbash Meinel)
1537
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
1538
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1541
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1542
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1543
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1544
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
1545
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
1550
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
1556
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
1558
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
1559
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
1560
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
1566
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
1567
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
1568
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
1569
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1571
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1572
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1573
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1574
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1575
(John Arbash Meinel)
1577
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1578
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1579
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1580
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1581
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
1582
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1587
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
1588
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
1594
:Codename: little italy
1598
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
1599
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
1605
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
1606
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
1607
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1609
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
1610
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
1612
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
1613
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
1614
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
1615
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
1617
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1623
:Codename: after sprint recovery
1624
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1626
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1627
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1628
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1629
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1631
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1632
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1633
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1634
formats for Remote objects.
1640
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
1641
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
1646
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
1648
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
1650
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
1651
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
1653
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1655
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1656
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1657
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1658
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1659
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1660
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1662
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1663
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1664
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1665
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
1667
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1668
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
1670
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1671
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1673
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1674
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1675
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1676
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1677
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1678
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1679
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1681
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
1682
(Alexander Belchenko)
1684
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
1685
Python level. (Martin Pool)
1690
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
1692
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
1693
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
1694
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
1696
(Martin Pool, 493944)
1701
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
1702
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
1703
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
1708
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
1709
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
1711
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
1712
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
1714
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
1715
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
1717
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
1718
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1720
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1721
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1722
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1723
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
1725
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1726
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1728
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1729
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1730
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1731
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1733
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1734
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
1735
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
1736
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
1746
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
1747
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1749
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1750
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1751
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1752
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1753
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1756
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1757
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1758
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1759
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1760
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1761
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
1766
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1767
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
1769
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
1770
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
1771
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
1772
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
1774
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
1775
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
1777
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
1778
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
1779
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
1780
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
1782
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
1783
files. (Aaron Bentley)
1785
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
1786
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
1791
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
1792
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
1793
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
1794
(John Arbash Meinel)
1796
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
1797
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
1798
(John Arbash Meinel)
1803
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1804
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1809
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
1811
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
1812
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
1818
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
1819
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
1820
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
1821
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
1822
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
1823
(John Arbash Meinel)
1825
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
1826
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
1827
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
1828
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1829
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1830
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1831
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1832
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1833
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1835
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1836
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1837
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1838
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1839
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1840
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1841
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1843
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1844
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1845
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1846
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
1852
:Codename: after the scare
1855
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
1856
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
1857
changes or features.
1862
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
1863
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
1865
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
1868
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1870
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
1871
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
1872
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
1874
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
1875
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
1877
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
1878
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
1880
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
1881
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
1886
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
1887
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1892
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1893
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1899
:Codename: While the cat is away
1900
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1902
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1903
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1904
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1905
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1906
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1907
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1908
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1910
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1911
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1912
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1913
error handling during unlocking.
1919
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1922
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1923
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1924
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1925
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1926
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1927
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1929
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1930
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1931
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1933
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1934
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1937
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1938
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1939
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1941
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1942
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1945
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1946
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
1947
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
1952
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1953
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1954
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1955
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1956
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1957
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1958
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1960
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1961
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1962
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1964
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1965
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1966
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1967
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1969
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1970
merges are present in the working tree.
1971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1973
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1974
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1976
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1977
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1979
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1980
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1982
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1983
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1984
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1986
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1987
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1989
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1990
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1992
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1993
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1995
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1996
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
1997
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
2002
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
2003
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2004
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2006
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2007
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2008
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2009
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2010
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2011
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
2012
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
2013
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
2015
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
2016
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
2017
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
2018
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
2019
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
2024
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2026
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2027
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2032
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
2033
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2035
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
2036
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
2038
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
2039
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
2040
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
2042
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
2045
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
2046
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
2047
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
2048
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
2049
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
2051
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
2053
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
2059
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
2060
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
2063
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2064
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2065
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2066
(John Arbash Meinel)
2068
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
2069
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
2075
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
2076
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2078
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2079
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
2081
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
2082
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
2085
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
2087
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
2089
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2090
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2092
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2093
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2094
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2096
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2097
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2098
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2099
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2100
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2102
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2103
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
2105
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
2106
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
2112
:Codename: Stability First
2115
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
2116
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
2117
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
2123
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2124
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2125
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2127
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
2128
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
2129
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
2131
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
2132
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
2133
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
2135
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
2136
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
2138
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
2139
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
2140
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
2141
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
2142
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
2144
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
2145
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
2147
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2148
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2149
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2150
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
2152
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2153
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2154
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2156
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2157
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2158
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2159
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2160
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2161
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2162
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2164
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2165
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2167
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2168
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2169
to download the entire cix file many times.
2170
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
2172
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
2173
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
2178
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2180
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
2188
:Codename: Instant Karma
2190
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2191
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2192
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2193
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2194
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2197
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2198
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2200
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2201
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2202
months or until the following stable release.
2204
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2205
******************************
2207
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2208
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2209
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2210
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2216
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
2221
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
2222
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
2223
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
2228
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2229
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2230
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2231
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2232
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2233
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2234
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2236
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2237
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2238
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2240
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2241
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2243
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2244
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2245
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2247
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2248
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2250
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2251
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2252
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2253
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2254
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2255
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2256
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2258
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2259
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2260
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2261
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2262
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2263
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2265
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2266
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2267
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2269
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2270
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2271
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2273
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2274
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2275
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2277
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2278
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2280
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2281
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2282
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
2283
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
2288
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
2289
older smart servers.
2290
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
2292
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2293
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2295
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2296
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2297
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2299
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2300
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2301
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
2303
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
2304
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
2314
********************
2316
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2317
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2318
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2319
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2320
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2322
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2323
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
2324
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
2325
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
2330
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
2331
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2336
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2337
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2339
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
2340
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
2341
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
2342
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
2343
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
2345
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
2346
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
2347
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
2349
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2350
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2352
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
2353
(Martin Pool, #286871)
2355
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
2356
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
2357
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
2359
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
2360
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
2361
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
2362
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
2367
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2368
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2369
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2371
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
2372
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
2373
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
2374
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
2376
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
2378
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
2379
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2381
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
2382
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2384
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
2385
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
2386
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
2388
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
2389
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
2390
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
2391
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
2392
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
2393
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
2398
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
2404
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2405
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2406
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2414
:Codename: nein nein nein!
2417
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
2418
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
2419
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
2420
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
2421
pushing to older servers.
2426
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
2427
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
2428
(Martin Pool, #415508)
2430
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
2431
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
2432
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
2437
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
2438
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2440
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
2441
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2446
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2447
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2448
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2450
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
2451
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
2452
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
2454
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
2455
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
2456
should be used. (Robert Collins)
2461
Compatibility Breaks
2462
********************
2464
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
2465
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
2466
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
2467
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
2468
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
2476
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
2477
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
2478
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
2479
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
2480
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
2482
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2483
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2485
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
2486
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
2488
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2489
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2491
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2492
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2493
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2494
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2496
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
2497
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
2498
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
2500
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2501
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
2503
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2504
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
2505
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
2506
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
2511
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2512
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2513
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2515
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
2516
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
2517
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
2518
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
2519
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
2521
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2522
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
2523
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
2524
(John Arbash Meinel)
2535
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
2536
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
2537
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
2538
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
2539
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
2540
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
2542
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
2543
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
2544
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
2545
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
2547
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
2548
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
2549
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
2550
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
2551
(John Arbash Meinel)
2553
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
2554
protocols. (Robert Collins)
2556
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
2557
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
2558
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
2559
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
2565
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
2566
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

2574
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
2576
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2577
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2578
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2579
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2580
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2581
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2583
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2584
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
2585
or until the following stable release.
2587
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
2592
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
2593
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
2595
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
2596
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
2597
(Martin Pool, #391411)
2602
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2603
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2604
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2606
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2607
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2608
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2609
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2611
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2612
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2613
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2614
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2616
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2617
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2619
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2620
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2621
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2622
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2624
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2625
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2627
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2628
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2630
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2631
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2632
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2633
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2634
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2636
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2637
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2638
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2640
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2641
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2642
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2643
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2644
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2646
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2647
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2649
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2650
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2651
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2653
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
2654
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2655
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2657
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2658
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2660
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2661
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2662
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2664
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2665
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
2667
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2668
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
2670
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
2671
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2673
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2674
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2675
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2677
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2678
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2679
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2681
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2683
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2684
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2686
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2687
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2688
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2689
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2690
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2691
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2693
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2694
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2695
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2697
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2698
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2699
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2700
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2702
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2703
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2704
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2705
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2706
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
2708
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
2709
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
2710
(Robert Collins, #187207)
2715
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
2718
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
2719
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2720
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2721
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
2723
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
2724
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
2725
(John Arbash Meinel)
2730
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2735
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
2736
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
2737
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
2738
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
2739
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2740
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2742
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
2745
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
2748
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
2752
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
2753
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
2758
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2759
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2760
paths. (Robert Collins)
2762
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2763
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2765
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2766
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2767
disk. (Robert Collins)
2769
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
2770
it. (Robert Collins)
2772
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
2773
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
2774
(Alexander Belchenko)
2780
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
2781
(Martin Pool, #409684)
2783
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
2784
(Martin Pool, #408199)
2786
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
2787
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
2788
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
2789
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
2790
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
2791
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
2794
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
2795
#######################
2800
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2801
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2802
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
2808
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
2812
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
2813
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
2816
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
2817
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
2818
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
2819
annoying progress bar artifacts.
2822
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
2823
*********************************
2825
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
2826
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
2827
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
2829
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
2830
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
2831
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
2833
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
2834
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
2837
Compatibility Breaks
2838
********************
2840
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
2841
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
2842
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
2843
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
2849
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2850
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2851
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2852
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2854
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2855
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2856
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2858
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2859
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2860
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2864
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2865
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2866
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2867
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2873
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2874
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
2876
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
2877
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
2878
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
2879
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
2881
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
2882
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
2884
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2885
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2886
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2888
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
2889
(Martin Pool, #321935)
2891
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
2892
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
2894
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
2895
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
2897
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
2898
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
2899
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
2901
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
2904
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
2905
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
2907
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
2908
of a remote repository.
2909
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
2911
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
2912
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
2915
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
2917
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
2919
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
2920
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
2922
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
2923
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
2925
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
2926
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
2927
(Martin Pool, #339385)
2929
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
2930
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
2931
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
2932
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
2933
(John Arbash Meinel)
2935
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
2936
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
2937
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
2939
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
2940
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
2941
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
2942
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
2943
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
2944
(Robert Collins, #376243)
2946
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
2947
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
2948
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
2949
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
2950
activity display respectively.
2951
(Martin Pool, #340347)
2953
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
2954
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
2956
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
2959
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
2960
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
2966
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2967
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2968
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2969
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2971
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2972
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2973
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2974
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2977
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2978
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2980
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2981
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2982
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2983
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2984
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2985
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2987
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2988
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2989
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2990
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2992
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2993
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2994
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2995
(John Arbash Meinel)
2998
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2999
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
3000
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
3001
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
3007
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3008
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3009
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3010
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3012
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3013
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3014
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3016
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3019
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3020
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3022
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
3023
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
3024
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3026
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
3027
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
3028
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
3029
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3031
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
3037
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
3038
formatting in the user reference.
3039
(Martin Pool, #249908)
3041
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
3047
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
3050
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
3051
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
3052
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
3058
:Released: 2009-06-26
3060
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3061
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3062
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3065
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3066
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3067
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3069
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3070
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
3075
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3076
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3078
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3079
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3080
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3082
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3083
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3084
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3085
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3086
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3087
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3088
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3090
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3091
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3092
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3094
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3095
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3096
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3098
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3099
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3100
that. (Robert Collins)
3102
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3103
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3104
repository. (Robert Collins)
3106
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3107
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3108
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3109
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
3119
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
3120
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
3121
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
3122
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
3124
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
3125
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
3126
bug fixes and improvements.
3129
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
3130
*********************************
3132
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
3133
2a can work correctly.
3134
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
3136
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3137
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3138
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3141
Compatibility Breaks
3142
********************
3144
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
3145
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
3146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
3152
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3153
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3154
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3155
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3156
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3157
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3160
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3161
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3162
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3163
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3165
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3166
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3168
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3169
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3171
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3172
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3173
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3175
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3176
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
3182
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3183
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3184
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3186
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3187
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3188
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3189
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3190
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3192
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3193
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3194
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3195
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3197
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3198
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3204
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3205
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3206
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
3207
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3213
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
3214
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
3216
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3217
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
3219
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3220
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3221
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3223
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3224
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3226
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3227
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3228
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3230
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3231
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3232
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3233
(John Arbash Meinel)
3235
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
3236
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
3238
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
3239
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
3241
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
3242
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3244
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3245
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3246
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3247
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3248
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3249
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3251
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
3253
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
3254
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
3256
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3257
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3259
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3260
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3261
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3262
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3263
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3265
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3266
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3267
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3268
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3273
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
3274
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
3275
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
3280
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
3282
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
3283
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
3284
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3286
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
3287
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
3288
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
3290
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
3291
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3293
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
3294
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
3299
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
3300
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3305
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
3306
(Martin Pool, #386180)
3308
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
3310
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3312
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
3317
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
3321
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
3322
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
3323
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
3324
revisions introduce the exact same line.
3326
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
3327
*****************************
3329
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
3330
(Alexander Belchenko)
3332
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
3333
*********************************
3335
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3336
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3337
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3338
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3340
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
3341
*********************************
3345
Compatibility Breaks
3346
********************
3348
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
3349
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
3350
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
3351
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
3356
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3357
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3360
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
3361
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
3362
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
3363
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3365
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
3366
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
3367
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
3368
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
3370
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3371
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3374
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
3375
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
3376
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3381
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
3382
server. (Jonathan Lange)
3384
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
3385
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
3387
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
3388
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
3389
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
3391
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
3396
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
3397
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
3399
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
3401
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
3402
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
3404
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
3405
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
3407
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
3408
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
3410
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
3411
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
3412
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
3413
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
3415
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
3416
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
3418
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3419
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3421
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
3422
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
3424
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
3425
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
3427
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
3428
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
3430
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
3431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
3433
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
3434
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3436
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
3437
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
3438
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
3439
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
3440
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
3441
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
3442
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
3443
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
3444
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
3445
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
3446
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
3447
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
3448
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
3449
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
3451
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
3452
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
3453
(Robert Collins, #368921)
3455
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
3456
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
3464
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
3465
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
3466
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
3468
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
3469
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
3470
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
3471
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
3472
(Alexander Belchenko)
3477
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
3478
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
3479
encoding. (Robert Collins)
3481
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
3482
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
3485
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
3486
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
3487
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
3488
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
3489
configuration. (Robert Collins)
3491
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
3492
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
3493
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
3495
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
3496
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
3497
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
3498
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
3500
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
3501
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
3502
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
3504
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
3505
backwards. (Robert Collins)
3507
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
3508
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
3509
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3510
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
3512
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3513
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3514
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3516
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3517
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3519
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3520
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3521
branches. (Robert Collins)
3523
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3524
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3526
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
3531
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
3532
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
3583
********************
3585
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
3586
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
3587
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
3588
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
3589
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3591
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
3592
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
3593
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
3595
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
3596
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
3597
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
3598
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
3599
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3604
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
3605
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
3606
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
3607
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
3608
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
3611
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
3614
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
3615
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3617
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
3618
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
3619
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
3620
directory, not just the directory object itself.
3621
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
3623
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
3624
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
3626
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
3629
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
3630
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
3631
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
3632
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
3635
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
3636
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
3637
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
3638
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
3639
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3641
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
3642
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
3645
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
3651
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
3652
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
3653
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3655
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3656
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3657
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3658
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3659
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3661
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3662
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3665
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3666
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3667
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3669
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3672
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3675
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3676
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3678
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3679
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3681
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3682
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3684
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3685
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3688
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3689
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3690
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3692
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3693
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
3694
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
3697
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3698
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3699
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3700
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3702
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3703
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3704
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3705
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3706
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3707
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3708
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3709
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3710
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3712
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
3718
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3719
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3720
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3721
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3722
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3723
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3724
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3726
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3727
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3729
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3730
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3731
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3732
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3734
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3735
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3737
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3739
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3742
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3743
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3744
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3746
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3747
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3749
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3750
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3752
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3753
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3754
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3756
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3757
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3758
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3759
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3761
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3763
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3766
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3767
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3768
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
3769
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
3770
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
3772
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3773
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3774
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3775
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3776
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3777
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3778
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3780
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
3781
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
3783
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
3784
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
3787
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
3788
(James Westby, #341558)
3790
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
3791
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
3793
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
3794
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
3799
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
3801
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
3803
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
3804
(James Westby, #336998)
3809
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
3812
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
3813
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
3816
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
3817
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
3820
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
3821
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
3822
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
3824
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
3825
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
3826
Meinel, Robert Collins)
3828
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
3829
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
3830
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
3831
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
3834
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
3835
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
3838
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
3841
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
3842
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3844
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
3845
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
3846
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
3847
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3849
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3850
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3851
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3856
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3857
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3858
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3859
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3860
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3862
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3865
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3866
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3867
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3868
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3874
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3875
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3877
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
3878
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3880
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
3881
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
3882
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3884
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
3885
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
3886
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
3887
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3889
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
3890
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
3891
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
3892
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3894
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
3895
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
3896
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3898
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
3899
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
3900
dependency. (Robert Collins)
3902
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
3903
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
3904
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3906
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
3907
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
3910
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
3911
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
3912
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
3914
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
3915
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3917
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
3918
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
3919
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3921
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
3922
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
3925
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
3926
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
3927
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3929
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
3930
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
3931
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
3932
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
3933
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
3935
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
3936
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
3937
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
3938
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3940
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
3941
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
3942
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
3943
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3945
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
3946
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
3947
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3949
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
3950
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
3953
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
3954
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
3955
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
3957
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
3958
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
3959
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3960
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3961
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3963
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3964
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
3965
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3968
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3969
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3970
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3971
desired. (Robert Collins)
3973
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3974
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3975
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3976
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3978
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3979
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3980
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3997
*****************************
3999
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4000
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4001
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4002
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4003
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4004
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4010
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
4011
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
4012
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4014
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
4015
********************************
4017
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
4018
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
4019
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
4024
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
4025
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
4027
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
4028
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
4030
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
4031
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
4033
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4035
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
4036
*********************************
4038
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4039
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4040
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4042
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4043
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4045
Compatibility Breaks
4046
********************
4048
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
4049
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
4050
command may need to be adjusted.
4051
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4056
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4057
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4058
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4060
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4063
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4064
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4065
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4068
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4069
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4071
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4072
(John Arbash Meinel)
4074
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4075
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4077
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4079
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4080
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4083
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4089
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4090
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4091
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4092
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4093
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4094
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4095
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4096
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4099
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4100
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4102
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4103
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4104
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4106
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4107
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4109
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4110
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4111
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4114
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4115
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4116
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4118
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4119
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4120
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4121
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4123
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4126
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4127
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4129
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4130
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4132
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4133
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4134
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4136
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4141
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4142
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4144
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4145
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4146
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4148
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4149
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4152
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4153
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4155
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4156
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4159
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4160
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4161
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4163
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4164
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4166
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4167
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4169
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4170
(James Westby, #174539)
4172
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4173
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4175
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4176
error branching from old repositories.
4177
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4179
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4180
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4182
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4183
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4184
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4185
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4187
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4188
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4191
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4192
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4194
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4195
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4197
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4198
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4199
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4201
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4202
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4204
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
4205
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
4210
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
4211
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
4212
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4215
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4216
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4218
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
4219
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
4224
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4225
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4226
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4227
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4228
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4230
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4231
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4233
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4234
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4235
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4236
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4237
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4238
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4240
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4241
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4243
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4244
"author" argument being deprecated.
4246
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4248
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4249
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4250
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4251
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4253
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4254
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4255
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4257
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4258
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4259
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4261
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4262
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4264
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4265
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4266
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4267
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4272
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4273
free of virtual file system methods.
4274
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4276
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4277
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4278
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4280
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4281
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4282
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4283
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4284
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4285
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4287
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4289
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4290
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4292
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4293
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4294
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4295
stream the operation.
4296
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4298
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4299
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4301
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4302
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4303
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4304
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4305
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4307
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4308
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4310
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4311
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4312
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4314
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4315
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4318
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4321
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4322
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4323
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4325
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4326
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4327
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4329
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4330
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
4331
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4333
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
4334
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
4335
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4337
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
4338
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
4339
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
4340
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
4341
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
4343
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
4344
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
4345
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
4346
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
4347
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
4348
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
4350
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
4351
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
4352
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
4353
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
4354
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4356
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
4357
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4359
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
4360
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
4362
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
4363
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
4364
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
4365
to access private data in record to obtain content more
4366
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4368
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
4369
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
4380
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
4381
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
4382
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
4383
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
4384
by showing the rate of network IO.
4386
Changes from RC1 to Final
4387
*************************
4389
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
4390
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
4392
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
4393
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4395
Compatibility Breaks
4396
********************
4398
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
4399
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
4400
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
4401
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
4403
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
4404
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
4405
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
4408
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
4409
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
4410
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
4411
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4413
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
4414
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
4415
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
4418
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4423
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
4424
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
4425
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
4428
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
4429
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
4430
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
4432
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
4433
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
4434
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
4435
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
4436
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
4437
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
4438
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
4439
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
4440
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
4446
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
4449
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
4452
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
4453
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
4454
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
4456
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
4457
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
4458
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
4459
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
4460
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
4462
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
4463
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
4465
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
4466
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
4467
level for better precision.
4470
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
4471
rules. (Marius Kruger)
4473
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
4474
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
4475
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
4477
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
4478
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
4479
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
4482
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
4483
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
4484
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
4489
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4491
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4493
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4494
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4495
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4497
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4498
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4499
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4500
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4501
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4502
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4504
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4505
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4507
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4508
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4510
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4511
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4512
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4514
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4515
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4516
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4519
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4520
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4522
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4523
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4524
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4525
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4527
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4528
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4530
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4532
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
4537
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4542
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
4543
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
4546
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
4547
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4549
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
4550
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4552
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
4553
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4555
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
4556
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
4557
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
4558
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
4560
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
4561
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
4562
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
4567
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
4568
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
4569
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
4570
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
4571
compile buffers, are such an example).
4574
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
4575
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4578
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4579
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4580
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4583
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4584
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
4586
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
4587
formatters to retrict the output.

4595
:Released: 2009-01-19
4597
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4598
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4599
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4600
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4601
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4603
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4604
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4607
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4608
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
4613
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
4616
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

4625
:Released: 2009-01-09
4630
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
4631
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4636
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4637
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4639
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4640
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4641
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4642
implement other plugins.
4645
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
4651
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4652
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4654
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4655
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4657
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4658
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4659
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4660
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4663
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4664
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4665
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4666
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4667
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4669
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4670
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4671
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4672
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4673
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
4678
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
4679
control directory. (#139691)
4681
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4682
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
4684
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4685
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4687
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4688
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4689
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
4691
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
4692
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
4694
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
4695
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4696
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4698
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
4699
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
4701
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
4704
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
4705
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
4706
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
4708
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
4709
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
4711
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4712
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4713
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4715
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4716
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4717
in the appropriate sections.
4718
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4720
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4721
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4722
(John Arbash meinel)
4724
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
4725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
4727
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
4728
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
4730
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4731
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4733
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4734
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
4735
work better with how it splits its requests.
4736
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
4738
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4739
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4740
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4742
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
4745
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
4747
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
4748
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
4750
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
4756
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
4757
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
4758
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
4764
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
4765
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
4766
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
4767
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4769
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
4770
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
4772
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
4773
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
4774
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
4775
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
4777
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
4778
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
4779
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
4780
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4785
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
4786
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
4787
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
4789
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
4790
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
4791
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
4792
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
4794
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
4795
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
4796
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
4802
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
4803
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
4804
(John Arbash Meinel)
4806
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
4807
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
4808
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
4809
(John Arbash Meinel)
4811
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
4812
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
4813
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
4814
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
4816
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
4817
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
4818
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
4820
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
4821
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
4822
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
4823
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
4825
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
4826
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
4827
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
4828
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
4829
(John Arbash Meinel)
4831
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
4832
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
4834
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
4835
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
4836
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
4838
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
4839
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
4840
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
4841
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
4843
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
4844
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
4845
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
4846
(John Arbash Meinel)
4848
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4849
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4850
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4851
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4852
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4853
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4854
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4856
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4857
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
4864
:Released: 2008-12-05
4866
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4867
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4868
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4869
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4872
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
4877
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
4878
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
4879
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
4880
(Martin Pool, #303856)
4882
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
4883
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
4884
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
4885
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
4886
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
4892
:Released: 2008-11-28
4894
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
4895
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
4896
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
4897
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
4898
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
4903
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
4904
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4906
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
4912
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
4913
history just to set the last revision info.
4914
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4916
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
4917
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
4918
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
4919
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4921
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
4922
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
4923
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
4924
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
4925
(John Arbash Meinel)
4927
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
4928
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4930
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
4931
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
4932
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
4933
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
4934
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
4936
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
4937
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
4938
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
4939
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
4944
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
4945
(Martin Pool, #289148)
4947
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
4948
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
4950
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
4951
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
4952
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
4953
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
4955
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
4956
starting with a dotted revno.
4957
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
4959
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
4960
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4961
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4963
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4964
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4965
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4967
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4968
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4969
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4971
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4972
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4973
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4974
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4976
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4977
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4978
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
4980
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
4981
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
4986
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
4987
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
4988
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4989
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4991
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4992
have changed incompatibly.
4994
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4995
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4996
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4997
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4998
don't need to change.
5000
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
5001
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
5006
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
5007
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
5009
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
5015
:Released: 2008-11-07
5017
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
5018
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
5019
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
5020
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
5021
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
5022
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
5027
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
5028
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
5030
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
5032
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
5033
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
5034
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
5040
:Released: 2008-10-31
5045
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
5046
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
5048
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
5049
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
5050
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
5051
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
5056
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
5057
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
5058
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
5059
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
5060
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
5061
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
5063
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
5064
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5066
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
5067
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
5068
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
5070
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
5071
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
5072
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
5075
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
5076
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
5078
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
5079
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
5081
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
5082
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
5084
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
5085
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
5086
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
5087
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
5088
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
5089
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
5090
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
5091
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
5092
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
5093
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5098
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
5099
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
5101
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
5102
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
5104
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
5105
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
5106
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
5108
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
5109
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
5110
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
5112
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
5113
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
5114
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
5116
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
5117
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
5118
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
5119
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
5120
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
5121
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
5123
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
5124
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
5126
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
5127
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
5129
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
5130
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
5131
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
5132
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
5133
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5135
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5136
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5137
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5138
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5143
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
5148
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
5153
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
5154
configuration of authetication credentials.
5160
:Released: 2008-10-16
5162
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
5163
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
5164
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
5165
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
5166
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
5171
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
5172
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
5177
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
5178
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
5184
:Released: 2008-10-07
5189
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5190
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5191
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5192
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5193
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5195
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
5196
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
5198
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
5199
server. (Marius Kruger)
5201
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5202
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5203
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5204
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
5205
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
5206
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
5211
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
5212
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
5213
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
5215
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
5220
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5221
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5222
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5223
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5225
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5226
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5229
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
5230
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
5233
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
5236
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
5238
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
5239
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
5241
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5242
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5244
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
5245
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
5246
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
5247
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
5248
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5249
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5250
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
5251
operations. (Robert Collins)
5253
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
5255
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
5256
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
5257
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
5262
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
5263
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
5264
(Martin Pool, #279381)
5266
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5267
repository now preserves the repository format.
5268
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5270
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
5271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
5273
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
5274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
5276
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
5278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
5280
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5283
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
5284
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
5285
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
5287
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
5288
is in a different repository than the current one.
5289
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
5291
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
5292
(David Futcher, #242106)
5294
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
5295
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5297
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
5298
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
5299
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
5300
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
5302
* Trivial documentation fix.
5303
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
5305
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5306
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5307
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5308
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5313
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
5318
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
5319
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
5320
to use. (Robert Collins)
5322
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
5323
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
5324
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
5326
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
5327
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
5328
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
5329
they want. (Robert Collins)
5334
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
5335
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
5336
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
5338
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
5339
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
5342
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
5345
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
5346
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
5348
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
5354
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
5355
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
5357
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
5358
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
5359
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
5361
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
5362
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
5363
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
5365
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
5366
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5368
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
5369
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
5371
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
5372
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
5374
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
5375
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
5376
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
5377
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
5385

5393
:Released: 2008-09-24
5395
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
5396
file paths when we encounter complex history.
5401
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
5402
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
5403
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
5404
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
5405
(John Arbash Meinel)
5411
:Released: 2008-09-23
5413
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
5414
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
5415
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
5416
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
5417
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
5418
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
5423
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
5424
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
5425
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
5431
:Released: 2008-09-17
5433
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
5434
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
5435
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
5436
connect to the stacked-on location.
5441
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5442
repository now preserves the repository format.
5443
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5445
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
5446
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
5448
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
5451
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5458
:Released: 2008-09-09
5460
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
5461
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
5462
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
5463
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
5464
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
5465
it in a future repository format.
5471
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
5474
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
5475
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
5476
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
5478
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
5479
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
5480
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
5485
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
5486
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
5488
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
5493
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
5494
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
5497
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
5498
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
5500
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
5501
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
5504
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
5505
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
5506
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
5507
(John Arbash Meinel)
5509
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
5510
(Martin Pool, #261315)
5512
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
5513
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
5514
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
5515
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
5516
(John Arbash Meinel)
5518
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5519
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5520
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5521
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5522
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5523
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5524
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5525
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5526
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5527
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5532
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
5533
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
5535
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
5536
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
5537
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
5539
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
5540
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
5541
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
5543
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
5544
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
5545
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
5546
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
5547
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
5548
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
5550
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
5551
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
5553
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
5554
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
5556
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
5557
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
5558
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
5559
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
5560
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
5561
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
5563
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
5564
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
5566
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
5567
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
5569
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
5570
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
5571
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
5572
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
5574
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
5575
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
5577
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
5578
assuming the host name is ascii.
5579
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
5581
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
5582
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
5587
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5592
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
5594
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
5595
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
5596
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
5599
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
5600
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5602
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
5603
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5605
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
5606
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5611
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
5612
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
5613
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
5614
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
5616
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
5620
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
5621
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
5622
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5624
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
5630
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
5631
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
5634
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
5635
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
5636
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
5637
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
5638
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5640
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
5641
is unknown in both source and target.
5642
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
5644
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
5645
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
5646
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
5647
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5649
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
5650
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
5651
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
5652
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

5660
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
5661
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,

and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
5668
:Released: 2008-09-03
5673
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
5674

5675

5682
:Released: 2008-08-29
5684
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5685
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5686
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5687
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5688
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5689
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5690
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5691
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5692
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5693
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5694
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5695
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
5700
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5701
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5702
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5703
start of the string (causing more copies).
5704
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5705
especially for projects with large files.
5706
(John Arbash Meinel)
5708
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5709
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5710
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5711
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5712
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5714
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5715
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5716
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5717
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5718
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

5727
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5728
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5729
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5730
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5731
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5732
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5733
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5734
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5735
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
5741
:Released: 2008-08-19
5746
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
5747
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
5748
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
5749
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
5750
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
5756
:Released: 2008-08-18
5761
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
5762
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
5763
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
5769
:Released: 2008-08-14
5774
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
5775
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
5781
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
5782
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
5783
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
5789
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
5790
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
5791
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
5793
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
5794
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
5795
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
5796
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
5797
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
5798
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
5799
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
5805
:Released: 2008-08-13
5807
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
5813
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
5814
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
5816
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
5817
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
5820
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
5821
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
5822
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
5823
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
5824
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
5826
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
5827
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5829
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
5830
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
5832
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
5833
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
5835
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
5836
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
5837
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
5838
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
5839
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
5840
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
5846
:Released: 2008-08-06
5848
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
5849
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
5850
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
5851
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
5852
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
5857
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
5858
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
5859
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
5864
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
5865
check. (Daniel Watkins)
5867
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
5868
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
5870
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
5871
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
5872
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5874
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
5877
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
5878
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
5879
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
5880
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
5881
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
5882
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
5883
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5885
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
5886
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
5887
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
5892
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
5893
physical repository boundaries.
5894
(Martin Pool, #252428)
5896
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
5897
(Martin Pool, #206258)
5899
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
5900
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
5903
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
5906
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
5907
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
5908
that Python is running from.
5909
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
5911
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
5912
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
5913
(Robert Collins, #150438)
5915
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
5916
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
5918
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
5919
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
5920
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
5922
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
5923
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
5925
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
5926
(James Westby, #248448)
5931
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
5932
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
5933
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
5936
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
5937
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
5940
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
5941
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
5942
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
5943
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
5944
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
5945
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
5948
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
5949
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5951
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
5952
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
5953
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
5954
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
5955
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
5956
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
5961
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
5962
putting together a real history without having to create a full
5963
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
5964
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
5965
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
5966
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5968
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
5969
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
5970
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
5972
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
5975
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
5976
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
5978
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
5985
:Released: 2008-07-17
5987
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
5988
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
5989
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
5990
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
5996
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
5997
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
5998
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
6000
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
6001
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
6002
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
6003
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
6004
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
6007
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
6009
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
6010
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
6011
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
6017
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
6018
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
6021
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
6022
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
6023
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
6024
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
6026
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
6027
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
6028
(Christophe Troestler)
6030
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
6031
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
6033
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
6034
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
6035
faster. The new request method name is
6036
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6041
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
6042
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
6043
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
6044
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
6045
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
6047
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
6048
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
6050
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
6051
requires a branch to be present.
6052
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
6054
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
6056
(Martin Pool, #205230)
6058
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
6059
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
6060
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
6061
(Martin Pool, #240161)
6063
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
6064
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
6066
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
6068
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
6070
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
6071
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
6072
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
6073
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
6074
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
6076
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
6077
(Martin Pool, #172870)
6079
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
6080
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
6082
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
6084
(Matt McClure, #209281)
6086
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
6087
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
6089
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
6090
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
6095
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
6098
* Updated developer documentation.
6104
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
6105
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
6107
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
6108
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
6109
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
6110
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
6115
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
6116
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
6117
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
6118
Repository docstring for more details.
6121
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
6122
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
6123
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
6125
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
6126
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
6129
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
6130
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
6131
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
6132
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
6137
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
6138
(Alexander Belchenko)
6140
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
6141
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
6142
containing a given location.
6145
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
6146
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
6147
storage. (Robert Collins)
6149
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
6152
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
6153
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
6160
:Released: 2008-06-10
6162
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
6163
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
6164
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
6170
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
6171
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
6172
reading from the repository.)
6173
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
6175
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6176
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6178
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
6179
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
6182
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
6183
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
6184
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6186
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6187
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6188
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6190
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6191
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6193
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6194
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6195
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
6196
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
6201
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
6203
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
6204
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
6205
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
6208
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
6209
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
6214
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6219
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6220
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6225
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6226
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6227
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6228
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6229
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6231
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
6232
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
6237
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
6238
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
6240
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
6241
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
6246
:Released: 2008-06-02
6248
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
6249
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6250
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6251
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6252
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
6253
and future extensions.
6256
Notes When Upgrading
6257
********************
6259
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6260
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6261
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6262
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6263
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6264
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6265
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
6266
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
6271
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
6272
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
6273
(John Arbash Meinel)
6278
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
6279
load. (James Westby)
6284
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6285
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6286
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6287
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6289
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6290
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6291
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
6293
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
6294
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
6296
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
6297
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
6298
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
6300
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
6301
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
6302
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
6303
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
6304
step closer to not using full revision history.
6305
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
6310
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
6311
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
6313
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6314
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6316
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
6317
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
6319
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
6320
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
6321
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
6322
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
6324
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
6325
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
6326
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
6327
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
6329
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
6330
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
6331
in use by another process.
6334
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
6335
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
6336
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
6337
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
6339
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
6340
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
6342
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
6343
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
6344
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
6346
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
6347
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
6348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
6350
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
6352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
6354
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
6355
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
6357
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
6358
under vim on Mac OS X.
6359
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6361
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
6362
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
6367
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
6368
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
6370
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6371
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6374
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
6375
and about use of Python reprs.
6376
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
6378
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
6383
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
6386
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6387
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6389
* New helper function for splitting test suites
6390
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
6395
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
6396
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
6397
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
6398
(John Arbash Meinel)
6403
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
6404
instead. (Martin Pool)
6406
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
6407
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
6408
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
6409
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
6411
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
6412
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
6413
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
6414
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
6415
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
6417
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
6418
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
6419
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
6420
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
6421
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
6422
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
6424
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
6425
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
6428
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
6429
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
6432
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
6433
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
6434
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
6435
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
6437
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
6438
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
6439
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6441
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
6442
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
6443
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
6444
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
6445
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
6448
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
6449
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
6450
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
6451
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
6454
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6455
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6456
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6457
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6458
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6460
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
6467
:Released: 2008-05-16
6469
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
6470
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
6471
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
6476
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
6477
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
6478
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6483
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6484
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6491
:Released: 2008-05-09
6496
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
6497
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
6498
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
6499
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
6504
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
6505
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
6507
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
6508
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
6510
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
6516
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
6517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
6519
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
6520
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
6522
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
6523
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
6524
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
6526
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6527
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6528
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6530
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
6533
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
6534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
6536
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
6537
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
6539
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
6540
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
6542
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
6543
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
6545
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
6546
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
6547
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
6549
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
6550
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
6552
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6553
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
6555
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6556
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6557
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6558
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
6560
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
6561
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
6564
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
6565
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
6566
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
6568
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6569
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6570
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6571
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6572
every revision each side had in common.
6573
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6575
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
6576
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6578
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
6579
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
6580
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
6581
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
6586
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
6587
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
6588
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
6589
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
6591
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
6593
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
6595
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
6596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
6601
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
6602
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
6603
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
6605
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
6606
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
6607
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
6608
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6610
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
6611
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6613
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
6614
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
6615
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
6616
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6618
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
6619
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
6620
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
6621
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6626
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
6627
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
6628
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
6630
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
6632
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
6633
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
6635
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6636
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6638
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
6639
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
6644
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
6645
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
6646
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
6648
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
6649
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
6650
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
6653
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
6654
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
6657
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
6664
:Released: 2008-04-28
6666
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
6667
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
6668
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
6669
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
6670
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
6671
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
6672
and faster performance.
6677
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6678
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6679
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6680

6686
:Released: 2008-04-21
6691
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6692
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6693
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6695
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
6696
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6698
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6699
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
6701
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6702
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6703
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6704
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

6706
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6712
:Released: 2008-04-11
6717
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6719
* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6720
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6722
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6723
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6724
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6726
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6727
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6728
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6729
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6730
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6731
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6734
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6735
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6736
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
6737
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
6742
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6744
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6745
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6746
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6748
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6749
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6750
See the User Reference for signature details.
6751
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6753
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6754
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6759
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6760
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6761
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6762
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6764
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6765
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6767
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6768
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
6769
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
6772
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
6775
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
6776
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
6777
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
6779
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
6782
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
6783
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
6785
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
6786
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
6788
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
6789
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
6790
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
6792
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
6793
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
6794
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
6795
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
6796
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
6798
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
6799
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
6801
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
6802
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6807
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
6808
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
6809
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
6810
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
6811
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
6812
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
6814
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
6815
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
6817
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
6818
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
6819
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
6821
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
6822
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
6824
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
6825
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
6826
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
6827
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6829
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
6830
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
6831
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
6832
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
6833
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
6835
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
6837
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
6838
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
6840
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
6842
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
6843
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
6845
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
6846
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
6851
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
6853
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
6855
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6857
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
6862
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6863
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6864
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6866
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6867
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6868
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6869
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6871
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6872
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6873
release. (James Westby)
6875
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
6878
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
6880
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
6881
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6883
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
6884
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6886
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
6887
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
6889
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
6890
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
6891
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
6893
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
6894
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
6895
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
6896
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
6898
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
6899
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
6900
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
6901
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
6903
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
6904
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
6905
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
6906
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
6907
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
6908
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
6910
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
6911
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
6912
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
6914
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
6915
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6917
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
6918
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
6921
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
6922
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
6924
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
6925
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
6927
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
6928
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
6930
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6931
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
6932
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
6934
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
6935
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
6936
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
6937
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
6938
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
6939
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
6944
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
6945
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
6946
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
6947
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
6949
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
6950
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
6951
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
6952
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
6956
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
6957
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
6960
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
6961
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
6963
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
6965
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
6966
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
6967
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
6972
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6974
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
6977
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
6978
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
6979
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
6980
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
6981
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
6982
(Martin Pool, #109520)
6984
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
6985
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
6987
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
6988
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
6989
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
6990
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
6992
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
6993
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
6995
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
6996
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
7046
********************
7048
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
7049
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
7054
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7055
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7056
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7057
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7060
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7061
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7062
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7063
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7064
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
7065
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
7067
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
7068
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7069
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
7070
(Alexander Belchenko)
7072
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7074
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
7075
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
7080
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
7081
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
7083
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
7084
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
7090
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7092
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7094
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7095
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7096
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7098
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7099
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7101
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7102
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7104
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7105
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7106
(Alexander Belchenko)
7108
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7109
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7110
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7111
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7113
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7116
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7117
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7118
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7119
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7120
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
7125
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
7126
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
7127
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
7128
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
7130
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
7131
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
7133
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
7134
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
7136
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
7137
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
7138
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
7140
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
7141
(#198793, John Ferlito)
7143
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
7146
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
7147
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
7149
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
7151
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
7153
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
7154
symlinks (James Henstridge)
7156
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
7157
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
7159
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
7160
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
7162
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
7163
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
7165
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
7166
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
7168
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
7169
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
7174
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
7175
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7180
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
7181
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
7182
(Alexander Belchenko)
7187
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
7189
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
7190
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
7196
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
7197
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
7198
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
7200
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
7201
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
7202
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
7203
(Alexander Belchenko)
7205
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
7206
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
7207
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
7208
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
7210
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
7211
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
7212
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
7215
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
7216
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
7217
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
7219
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
7220
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
7221
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
7223
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
7224
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
7225
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
7226
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
7246
********************
7248
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7249
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7250
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7251
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7252
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7258
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7259
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7261
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7262
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7263
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7265
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7266
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7267
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7268
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7269
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7270
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7276
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7277
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7279
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7280
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7281
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7284
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7285
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7286
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7287
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7288
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7290
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7291
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7292
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7293
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7294
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7295
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7296
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7297
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
7302
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7303
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7305
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7306
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7308
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7309
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7311
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7312
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7313
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7315
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7316
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
7317
(John Arbash Meinel)
7322
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7323
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7325
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7326
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7328
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7329
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
7331
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
7332
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
7333
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
7335
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
7336
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
7337
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
7339
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
7340
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
7342
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
7343
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
7344
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
7345
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
7346
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
7348
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7350
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
7351
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
7354
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
7355
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
7357
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
7358
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
7360
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
7361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
7363
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
7364
more characters which should be considered valid.
7365
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
7367
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
7368
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
7370
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
7371
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
7376
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
7377
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
7379
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
7380
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
7386
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
7387
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
7393
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
7394
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
7395
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
7397
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
7398
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
7399
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
7401
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
7402
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
7403
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
7404
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
7406
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
7408
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
7409
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
7410
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
7411
server. (Robert Collins)
7413
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
7414
operate. (Robert Collins)
7416
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
7417
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
7418
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
7420
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
7421
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
7422
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
7423
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
7425
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
7426
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
7428
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
7429
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
7430
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
7432
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
7433
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
7435
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
7436
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
7438
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
7439
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
7440
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
7441
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

7449
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
7454
:Released: 2008-01-05
7459
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
7460
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
7461
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
7462
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7464
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
7465
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
7466
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
7467
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
7472
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
7475
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
7478
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
7479
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
7484
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
7487
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
7488
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
7489
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7491
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7493
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7494
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7495
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7496
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7497
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7499
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7500
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
7501
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
7503
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
7504
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
7506
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
7509
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
7511
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
7513
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
7516
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
7517
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
7522
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
7523
(Martin Pool, #180208)
7525
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
7526
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
7528
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
7531
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
7532
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
7534
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
7535
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
7537
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
7538
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7540
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
7541
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
7543
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
7544
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
7545
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
7547
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
7548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
7550
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
7551
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
7554
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
7556
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
7557
user:pass embedded in the urls.
7558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
7560
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
7561
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
7563
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
7566
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
7569
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
7570
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
7572
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
7575
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
7576
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
7579
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
7580
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
7581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
7586
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
7589
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
7590
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
7591
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
7592
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
7593
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
7594
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
7596
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
7601
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
7604
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
7605
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
7607
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
7609
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
7610
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
7611
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
7614
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
7615
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7617
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
7626
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
7627
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
7628
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
7630
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
7631
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
7634
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
7635
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
7637
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
7638
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7640
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
7641
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7643
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
7644
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
7645
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7647
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
7648
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
7650
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
7651
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7653
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
7654
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
7657
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
7658
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
7660
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
7661
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

7672
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7674
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
7677
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
7679
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
7680
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
7687
:Released: 2007-12-11
7692
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
7693
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
7694
by mail to the mailing list.
7700
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
7702
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
7703
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
7704
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
7705
feedback but also incur more latency.
7706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
7708
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
7709
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
7714
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7716
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
7722
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
7723
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
7724
wraps its output in a StringIO.

:Released: 2007-12-07
7736
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
7738
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
7741
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
7744
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
7745
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
7746
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
7747
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7749
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
7752
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
7753
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
7755
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
7756
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
7757
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
7759
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
7760
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
7761
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
7762
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
7763
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
7764
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
7765
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
7766
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
7767
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
7772
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
7775
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
7780
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
7781
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)

* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
7785
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
7787
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
7788
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are

(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
7792
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.

(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
7796
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)

* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
7802
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
7811
********************
7813
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
7814
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
7815
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
7816
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
7818
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
7819
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
7821
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
7822
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
7824
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
7825
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
7826
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
7827
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
7828
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
7829
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
7830
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
7831
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
7832
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
7833
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
7834
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
7835
from any tree without problems.
7836
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
7841
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
7842
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
7843
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
7845
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
7846
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
7852
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
7853
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
7854
supported transports.
7857
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
7858
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
7859
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
7861
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
7862
(Robert Collins, #154173)
7864
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
7865
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
7866
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
7867
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
7869
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
7870
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
7875
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
7876
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
7877
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
7878
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7880
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
7881
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
7882
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
7883
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
7885
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
7886
(Robert Collins, #88319)
7888
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
7889
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
7891
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
7892
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
7894
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
7895
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
7901
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
7904
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
7905
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
7908
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
7909
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
7910
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
7911
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
7913
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
7914
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
7915
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
7916
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
7924
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
7925
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
7927
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
7928
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
7930
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
7931
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
7933
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
7934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
7936
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
7937
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
7939
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
7940
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
7942
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
7943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
7945
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
7948
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
7949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
7951
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
7952
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
7953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
7955
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
7956
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
7958
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
7959
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
7961
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
7962
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
7964
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
7965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
7967
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
7968
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
7969
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
7970
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
7972
(Martin Pool, #164637)
7974
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
7975
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
7976
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
7978
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
7979
(Robert Collins, #161240)
7981
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
7983
(Martin Pool, #164443)
7985
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
7986
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
7988
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
7989
specify a port in urls.
7990
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
7992
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
7993
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
7995
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
7996
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
7998
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
7999
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
8001
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
8002
(Robert Collins, #153789)
8004
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
8005
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
8006
(Robert Collins, #165304).
8008
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
8010
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
8011
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
8013
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
8016
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
8017
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
8019
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
8020
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
8022
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
8023
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
8024
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
8026
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
8027
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
8029
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
8030
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
8031
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
8032
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
8034
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
8035
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
8037
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
8038
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
8039
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
8041
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
8042
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
8044
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
8045
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
8047
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
8048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
8053
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
8054
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
8056
* The return value of
8057
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
8058
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
8059
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
8060
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
8062
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
8065
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
8066
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
8073
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
8074
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
8075
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
8078
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
8079
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
8081
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
8087
:Released: 2007-11-05
8092
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
8098
:Released: 2007-10-29
8103
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
8104
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
8106
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
8107
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
8108
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
8109
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
8110
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
8111
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
8112
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8113
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8114
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8115
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8116
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
8117
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
8123
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
8124
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
8125
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
8126
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
8127
commands. (Robert Collins)
8129
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
8130
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
8131
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
8134
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
8136
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
8137
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
8139
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
8140
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
8143
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
8144
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
8145
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
8150
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
8151
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
8153
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
8154
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
8156
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
8157
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
8158
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
8159
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
8161
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
8164
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
8165
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
8166
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
8167
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
8169
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
8170
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
8172
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
8173
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
8175
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
8176
the contents. (Robert Collins)
8178
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
8179
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
8184
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
8185
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
8187
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
8188
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
8190
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
8191
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
8193
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
8194
(Martin Pool, #63894)
8196
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
8197
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
8202
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
8204
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
8210
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
8211
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
8212
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8214
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
8215
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
8217
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8218
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8220
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8221
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8222
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8223
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8225
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8226
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8227
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8228
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8229
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8231
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8232
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8236
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8238
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8239
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8241
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8244
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
8245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
8247
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
8248
contains a symbolic link.
8249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8251
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8252
(James Westby, #140615)
8254
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8255
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8256
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8258
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8259
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8260
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8262
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8264
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8267
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8271
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8272
directory to detect leaking tests.
8273
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8275
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8276
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8277
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8279
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8282
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8283
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8285
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8291
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8292
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8294
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8295
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8296
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8298
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8299
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8300
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8302
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8303
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8305
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8306
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8308
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8309
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8312
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8313
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8315
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8316
class that needs it.
8319
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8320
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8322
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8323
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8324
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8326
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8327
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8328
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
8331
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
8332
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
8333
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
8334
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
8340
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
8341
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
8342
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
8344
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
8345
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
8346
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
8347
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
8349
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
8350
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
8353
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
8354
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
8355
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
8357
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
8358
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
8359
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
8361
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
8362
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
8364
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
8365
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
8366
to complete. (Robert Collins)
8368
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
8369
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
8371
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
8372
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
8373
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
8375
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
8376
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
8377
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
8379
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
8380
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
8381
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
8382
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
8384
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
8385
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
8386
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
8387
returned. (Robert Collins)
8389
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
8390
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
8392
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
8393
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
8394
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
8395
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
8398
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
8399
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
8404
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
8405
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
8407
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
8408
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
8409
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
8410
makes this behavior available to other users.
8413
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
8414
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
8420
:Released: 2007-09-26
8425
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8426
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8427
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8429
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8431
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
8432
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
8433
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
8434
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
8436
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
8437
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
8444
:Released: 2007-09-11
8446
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
8447
in bzrlib/remote.py.
8453
:Released: 2007-09-11
8458
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
8459
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
8460
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
8461
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
8464
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
8465
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
8466
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
8472
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
8473
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
8474
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
8477
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
8478
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
8479
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
8481
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
8482
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
8483
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
8485
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
8486
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
8488
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
8489
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8490
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8491
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8492
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8493
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8494
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8495
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8496
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8497
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8499
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8500
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8502
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8503
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8504
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8509
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8510
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8512
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8513
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8514
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8516
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8517
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8519
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8520
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8522
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8525
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8526
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8528
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8529
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8531
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8532
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8534
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8535
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8537
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8539
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8542
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8543
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8544
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8545
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8547
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8549
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8550
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8553
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
8554
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
8556
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
8557
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
8560
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
8561
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
8563
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
8564
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
8566
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
8567
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
8568
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
8569
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
8570
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
8571
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8572
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8574
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8575
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8577
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8578
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8580
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8581
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8583
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
8584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
8586
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
8588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
8590
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8591
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8593
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8594
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8595
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8597
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8598
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8599
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8604
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8605
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8607
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8610
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8613
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8614
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8616
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8618
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8619
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8621
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8622
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8624
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8625
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8626
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8627
space). (Robert Collins)
8629
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8630
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8633
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8634
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8636
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8637
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8639
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8640
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8641
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8642
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8644
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8645
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8646
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8649
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8652
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8653
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8654
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8656
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8657
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8658
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8659
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8660
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8665
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8666
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8668
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8669
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8670
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8671
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8672
affected. (Robert Collins)
8674
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8675
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8676
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8679
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8680
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8685
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8686
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8688
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8689
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8691
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8692
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8694
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8697
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8698
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8703
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8704
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8705
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8706
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8708
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8709
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8711
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8712
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8713
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8714
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8716
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8717
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8718
present. (Robert Collins)
8720
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8721
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8722
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8723
API. (Robert Collins)
8725
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8726
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8729
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8730
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8732
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8733
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8734
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8735
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8736
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8737
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8739
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8740
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8741
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8743
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8744
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8745
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8746
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8749
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8752
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8753
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8754
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8755
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8756
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8757
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8758
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8760
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8761
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8762
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8763
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8765
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8766
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8767
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8768
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
8769
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
8770
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
8772
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
8773
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
8774
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
8776
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
8777
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8783
:Released: 2007-08-28
8788
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
8789
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
8790
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
8791
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
8792
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
8793
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
8794
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
8795
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
8801
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
8802
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
8803
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
8809
:Released: 2007-08-14
8814
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
8815
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
8816
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8817
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
8818
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
8820
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
8821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
8823
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
8825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
8827
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
8828
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
8831
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
8832
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
8835
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
8838
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
8839
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
8841
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
8842
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
8844
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
8845
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
8847
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
8848
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8850
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8851
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8853
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
8859
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8860
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8862
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8863
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8865
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8866
the repository (Robert Collins)
8868
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8869
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8870
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8871
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8872
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8874
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8875
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8877
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
8878
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
8879
(John Arbash Meinel)
8881
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
8882
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
8883
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
8885
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
8886
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
8887
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
8888
(John Arbash Meinel)
8890
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
8891
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
8894
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
8895
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
8897
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
8900
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
8902
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
8904
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
8905
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
8907
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
8908
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
8911
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
8912
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
8913
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
8914
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8916
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
8917
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
8918
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
8920
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
8921
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
8922
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
8924
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
8925
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
8927
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
8928
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
8929
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
8930
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
8931
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
8932
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
8935
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
8936
(Alexander Belchenko)
8938
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
8939
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
8941
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
8942
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
8944
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
8946
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
8947
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
8952
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
8953
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
8954
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
8955
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
8957
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
8959
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8962
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8963
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8964
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8965
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8966
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8967
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8972
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8973
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8974
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8975
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8977
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8978
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8979
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8980
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8981
tests have been refactored too.
8984
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8985
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8986
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8990
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8991
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8992
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8994
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8995
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8996
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8997
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8998
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8999
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9000
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9002
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9003
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9004
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9005
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9006
(John Arbash Meinel)
9008
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9009
functionality for testing.
9011
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9013
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9014
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9016
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9018
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9021
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9022
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9024
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9025
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9026
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9028
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9031
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9032
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9034
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9035
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9036
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9037
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9039
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9040
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9042
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9043
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9044
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9046
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9049
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9050
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9051
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9052
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9053
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9054
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9056
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9057
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9058
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9059
many files. (Robert Collins)
9061
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9062
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9063
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9064
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
9069
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
9070
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
9071
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
9073
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
9074
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9076
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
9077
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
9078
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9084
:Released: 2007-07-17
9089
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
9095
:Released: 2007-07-10
9100
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
9101
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
9103
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
9104
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
9105
(James Westby, #122656)
9107
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
9108
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
9110
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
9111
authentication header.
9112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
9114
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
9116
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
9117
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
9119
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
9121
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
9122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
9124
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
9125
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
9126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
9128
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
9129
individually and as part of revision ranges.
9130
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
9132
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
9133
(Martin Pool, #109169)
9135
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
9136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
9138
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
9139
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
9141
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9143
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
9148
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
9149
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
9150
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9151
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9152
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
9153
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
9155
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
9156
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
9157
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
9159
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9162
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9163
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
9165
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9166
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9168
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9169
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9171
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9172
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9173
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9174
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9175
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9177
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9178
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9180
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
9181
can be slow it is useful feedback).
9182
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
9184
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
9185
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
9187
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
9189
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
9190
output. (Aaron Bentley)
9192
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
9193
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
9196
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
9199
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
9200
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
9202
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
9203
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
9205
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
9206
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
9208
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
9210
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
9211
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
9213
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
9219
* Testing cleanups -
9220
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9221
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
9222
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9223
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
9224
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9225
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.

``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9229
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.

``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
9231
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.

``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
9234
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9235
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
9236
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
9239
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9241
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9242
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9243
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
9245
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
9246
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
9248
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9249
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9251
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9253
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9254
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9255
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9256
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9257
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9258
same location. (Robert Collins)
9263
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
9265
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
9267
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
9269
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
9272
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9275
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9276
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9277
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9279
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9281
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9282
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9283
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9285
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9286
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9288
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9289
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9290
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9292
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9293
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9294
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9296
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9297
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9298
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9300
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9301
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9304
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9305
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9307
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9308
(Alexander Belchenko)
9313
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9314
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9315
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9316
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9318
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9319
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9320
testing. (Robert Collins)
9322
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9323
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9325
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9326
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9327
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9328
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9329
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9330
attribute during the test parameterisation in
9331
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
9333
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
9334
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
9335
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
9336
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
9338
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
9339
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
9341
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
9342
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
9367
********************
9369
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
9370
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
9371
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
9372
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
9373
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
9374
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
9375
and unlock() like so::
9377
work_tree.lock_read()
9379
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
9385
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
9386
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
9388
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
9389
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
9390
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
9392
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
9393
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
9394
too. (Robert Collins)
9399
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
9400
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
9403
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
9404
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
9406
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
9407
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
9409
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
9410
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
9411
understanding what changes have occurred
9412
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
9414
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
9415
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
9416
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9418
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
9419
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
9420
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
9421
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
9423
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
9429
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
9430
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
9431
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
9432
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9433
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
9435
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
9436
based on split paths, not just string paths.
9437
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
9439
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
9440
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
9442
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
9444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
9446
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
9447
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
9449
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
9450
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
9452
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
9453
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
9455
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
9456
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
9458
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
9459
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
9461
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
9462
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
9463
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
9468
:Released: 2007-05-07
9473
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
9474
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
9475
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
9476
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
9477
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
9479
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
9480
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
9481
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
9483
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
9484
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
9489
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
9490
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
9491
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
9493
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
9494
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
9495
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
9496
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
9501
:Released: 2007-04-30
9506
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
9507
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
9508
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
9509
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
9511
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
9512
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
9513
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
9515
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
9516
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
9518
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
9519
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
9521
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
9522
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
9527
:Released: 2007-04-26
9529
Notes When Upgrading
9530
********************
9532
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9533
it could be recovered again.
9534
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9535
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9536
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9538
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
9540
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
9541
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
9546
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
9547
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
9549
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
9550
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
9551
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
9552
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
9554
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
9555
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
9557
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
9558
tests with names that match that regular expression.
9559
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
9561
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
9562
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
9563
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
9565
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
9566
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
9567
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
9569
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
9570
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
9573
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
9576
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
9577
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
9578
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9579
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
9581
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
9584
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
9585
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
9586
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
9589
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
9590
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
9592
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
9593
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
9595
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9596
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
9597
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
9598
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
9601
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
9602
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
9604
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
9605
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9607
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
9608
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
9609
(Robert Collins, #107125).
9611
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
9612
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
9613
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9615
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9616
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9617
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9619
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9620
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9621
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9622
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9624
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9625
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9626
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9627
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9629
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9630
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9631
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9632
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9633
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9634
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9635
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9636
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9643
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
9644
code paths. (Robert Collins)
9646
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9647
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9648
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9649
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9650
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9652
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9653
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9655
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9656
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9658
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9659
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9661
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9662
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9664
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9665
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9666
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9669
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9670
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9671
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9672
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9673
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9676
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9677
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9678
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9680
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9681
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9684
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9685
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9686
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9689
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9690
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9691
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9692
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9693
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9695
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9696
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9697
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9698
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9700
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9701
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9703
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9704
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9705
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9706
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9707
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9708
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9710
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9711
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
9713
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9714
help. (Robert Collins)
9716
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9717
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9719
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9720
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9721
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9722
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9723
(John Arbash Meinel)
9725
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9726
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9727
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9728
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9729
useful. (Robert Collins)
9731
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
9737
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
9738
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
9740
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
9741
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
9743
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
9744
properly and is no longer beneficial.
9745
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
9747
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
9750
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
9751
the file, and does it faster.
9752
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
9754
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
9755
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9756
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9758
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9759
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9760
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9761
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9763
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9764
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9765
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9766
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
9768
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
9769
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
9771
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
9772
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
9773
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
9774
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
9777
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
9779
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
9780
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
9782
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
9783
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
9785
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
9786
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
9787
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
9788
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
9792
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
9793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
9798
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
9799
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
9800
in running it. (Robert Collins)
9802
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
9803
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
9805
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
9806
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
9807
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
9808
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
9809
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
9810
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
9811
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
9812
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9814
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
9815
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
9816
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9818
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
9819
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
9820
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
9821
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
9822
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
9824
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9826
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
9827
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
9828
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
9830
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
9831
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
9837
:Released: 2007-04-01
9842
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
9845
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
9846
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
9852
:Released: 2007-03-26
9857
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
9858
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
9864
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9865
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9866
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9867
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9868
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9869
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9870
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9871
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
9877
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
9878
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
9879
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
9881
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
9882
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
9885
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
9886
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
9887
(John Arbash Meinel)
9889
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
9890
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
9891
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
9892
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
9893
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
9898
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
9901
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
9902
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
9904
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
9905
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
9907
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
9908
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
9909
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
9911
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
9912
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
9914
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
9915
last-changed-revision for directories. The
9916
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
9917
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
9918
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
9920
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
9921
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
9922
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
9924
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
9933
********************
9935
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
9936
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
9937
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
9942
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
9943
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
9945
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
9946
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
9948
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
9950
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
9951
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
9953
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
9954
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
9959
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
9965
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
9966
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
9967
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
9968
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
9970
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
9971
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
9973
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
9974
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
9976
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
9979
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
9980
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
9986
:Released: 2007-03-07
9991
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9992
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9993
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9994
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9995
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9996
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9998
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9999
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10000
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10001
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10002
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10003
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10005
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10007
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10008
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10009
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10010
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10011
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10012
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10013
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
10014
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10019
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
10020
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
10022
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10023
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10024
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10025
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10027
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10028
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10029
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10030
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
10031
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
10033
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
10036
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
10039
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
10042
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10043
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10046
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10049
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10050
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10052
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10053
directory. (Martin Pool)
10055
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10056
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10057
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10058
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10060
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10061
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10062
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10063
in docs/configuration.txt.
10065
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10066
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10069
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10070
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10071
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10072
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10073
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10074
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10076
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10077
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10079
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10080
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
10082
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
10088
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10089
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10090
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10091
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10092
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10093
(John Arbash Meinel)
10095
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10096
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10099
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10100
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10101
(John Arbash Meinel)
10103
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10104
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10105
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10106
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10107
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10108
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10110
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10111
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10112
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10114
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10115
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10116
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10117
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10119
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10121
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10122
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10123
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10124
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10126
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10127
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10128
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10129
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10131
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10132
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10133
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10135
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10136
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10137
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10139
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10140
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10141
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10142
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10144
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10145
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10146
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10148
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10149
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10150
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10152
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10153
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10154
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10155
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10156
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10157
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10158
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10159
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10160
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
10161
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
10162
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
10167
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
10168
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
10169
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
10171
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
10174
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
10175
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
10176
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
10177
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
10179
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
10180
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
10183
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
10184
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
10186
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
10188
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
10189
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
10190
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
10192
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
10193
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
10195
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
10196
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
10198
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
10199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
10201
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
10202
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
10204
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
10206
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
10207
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
10212
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
10213
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
10219
:Released: 2007-01-23
10224
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
10229
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
10230
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
10231
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
10233
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
10234
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
10235
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
10241
:Released: 2007-01-16
10246
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
10247
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
10248
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10249
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10251
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10254
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10255
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10256
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
10258
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
10259
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
10261
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
10264
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10265
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10266
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10267
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10268
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10269
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10271
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10272
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10273
should enable you to do::
10275
[/home/user/project]
10276
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10277
push_location:policy = appendpath
10279
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10280
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10283
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
10284
for each file. For example::
10286
$ bzr status --short
10292
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
10293
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
10295
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
10297
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
10298
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
10300
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
10305
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
10306
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
10307
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
10308
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
10310
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
10311
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
10312
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
10314
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
10316
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
10317
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
10318
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
10319
(Alexander Belchenko)
10321
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
10324
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
10325
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
10327
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
10332
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
10333
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
10335
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
10336
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
10337
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
10338
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
10339
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
10341
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
10342
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
10344
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
10345
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
10347
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
10349
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
10351
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
10352
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
10353
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
10354
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
10355
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
10357
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
10358
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
10359
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
10360
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
10362
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
10363
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
10365
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
10366
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
10368
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
10369
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
10371
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

10391
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
10392
tree from a branch.
10393
(Daniel Silverstone)
10395
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
10396
operations are substantially faster.
10397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
10399
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
10400
tree from some other url. For example:
10401
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
10402
(Daniel Silverstone)
10404
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
10405
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
10406
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
10407
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
10409
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
10412
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
10413
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
10414
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
10415
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
10416
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
10417
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
10422
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
10423
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
10426
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
10427
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
10428
(John Arbash Meinel)
10430
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
10431
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
10432
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
10433
(John Arbash Meinel)
10435
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
10436
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
10438
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
10439
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10441
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
10442
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
10448
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
10449
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
10450
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
10452
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
10453
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
10454
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
10455
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
10457
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
10459
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
10460
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
10462
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
10463
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
10464
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
10465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
10467
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
10468
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
10469
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
10471
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
10472
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
10473
them as full references rather than integers.
10474
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
10476
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
10477
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
10479
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
10481
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
10482
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
10484
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
10485
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
10487
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
10488
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
10489
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
10490
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
10492
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
10493
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
10494
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
10496
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
10497
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
10499
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
10500
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
10501
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
10502
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
10503
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
10508
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
10509
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
10514
:Released: 2006-10-30
10519
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
10520
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
10521
(John Arbash Meinel)
10526
:Released: 2006-10-23
10531
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
10532
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
10533
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
10534
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
10536
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
10537
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
10539
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
10541
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
10542
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
10543
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
10544
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10546
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
10547
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
10548
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
10549
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

10552
API Incompatability
10553
*******************
10555
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
10556
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
10561
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
10562
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
10563
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10565
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
10566
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
10567
(John Arbash Meinel)
10569
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
10570
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
10571
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
10573
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
10574
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
10577
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
10578
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
10579
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10581
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
10582
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
10583
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
10584
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
10585
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
10586
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10588
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
10589
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
10590
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
10593
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
10594
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
10599
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
10600
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
10601
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
10604
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
10605
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
10607
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
10608
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
10609
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
10611
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
10612
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
10614
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
10615
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
10616
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
10617
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
10619
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
10620
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
10622
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
10623
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
10624
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
10626
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
10627
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
10629
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10631
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
10632
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
10638
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
10639
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
10640
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
10641
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
10643
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
10644
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
10645
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
10657
:Released: 2006-09-27
10662
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
10664
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
10670
:Released: 2006-09-25
10675
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
10676
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10677
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10678
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10679
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10680
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10681
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
10683
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
10684
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
10685
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
10687
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
10689
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
10690
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
10692
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10693
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10694
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10697
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10698
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
10699
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
10700
(John Arbash Meinel)
10702
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
10703
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
10704
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
10705
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
10708
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
10709
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
10710
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
10711
(John Arbash Meinel)
10716
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
10717
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
10719
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
10721
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
10722
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
10723
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
10725
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
10726
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
10728
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
10729
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
10731
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
10732
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
10734
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
10735
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
10737
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
10739
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
10740
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
10742
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
10743
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
10745
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
10746
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
10748
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
10749
(John Arbash Meinel)
10751
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
10752
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
10753
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
10755
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
10756
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10758
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
10759
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
10760
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
10761
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
10763
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
10764
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
10765
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
10767
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
10768
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
10773
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
10778
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
10779
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
10780
(John Arbash Meinel)
10782
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
10783
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
10784
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
10785
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10787
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
10790
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
10791
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
10792
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
10794
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
10795
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
10797
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
10798
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
10799
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
10801
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
10802
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
10803
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
10804
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
10805
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
10806
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
10807
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
10808
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
10809
caller to repeat their request.
10810
(John Arbash Meinel)
10812
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
10813
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
10815
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
10816
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
10818
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
10819
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
10820
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
10821
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
10822
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
10823
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
10824
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
10826
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
10827
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
10828
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
10829
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
10830
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
10831
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
10832
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
10833
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
10836
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
10837
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
10838
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
10840
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
10841
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
10843
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
10844
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
10846
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
10847
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10852
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
10853
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10855
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10856
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10857
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10859
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
10860
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
10861
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10866
:Released: 2006-08-29
10870
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10871
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10873
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10874
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10875
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
10876
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
10877
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
10879
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
10880
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
10881
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
10883
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
10884
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
10886
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
10887
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
10888
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10893
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
10895
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
10896
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
10897
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
10899
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
10901
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
10903
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
10904
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
10905
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
10906
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
10908
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
10909
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
10910
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
10911
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
10912
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
10914
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
10915
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
10917
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
10918
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
10920
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
10921
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
10923
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
10924
in handling of revision properties.
10925
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
10927
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
10928
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
10933
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
10934
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
10935
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
10936
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
10937
(John Arbash Meinel)
10939
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
10940
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
10941
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
10946
:Released: 2006-08-11
10951
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
10952
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
10953
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
10954
specific one '.bzrignore'.
10955
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
10956
a more conservative list than the old default.
10957
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
10958
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
10959
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
10960
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
10962
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
10963
to more locations than just branch locations.
10969
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10970
revno:N:branch. For example,
10971
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
10972
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10974
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10975
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10976
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10977
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10978
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10979
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10980
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
10981
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
10984
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
10985
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
10986
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10989
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
10990
(Alexander Belchenko)
10992
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
10994
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
10997
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
10998
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10999
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11000
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11001
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11002
(John Arbash Meinel)
11004
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11005
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11006
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11007
grained analysis of performance.
11008
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11010
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11011
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11013
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11014
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11015
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11016
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11017
file. (Robert Collins).
11019
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11020
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11021
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11023
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11024
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11027
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11028
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11030
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11031
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11032
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11033
the same way you would apply another branch.
11034
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11036
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11037
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11039
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11042
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11045
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11046
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11047
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11049
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11050
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11051
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11053
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11054
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11056
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11057
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11058
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11059
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11060
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11062
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11063
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11065
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11066
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11067
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11068
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11069
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11070
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11071
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11072
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11074
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11075
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11076
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
11081
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
11083
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
11085
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11086
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11088
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
11089
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
11091
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
11092
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11094
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
11096
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11097
(John Arbash Meinel)
11099
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11100
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11102
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11103
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11106
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11107
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11109
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11110
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11112
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11113
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11114
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11115
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11117
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
11118
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
11120
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
11122
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
11123
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
11125
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
11127
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
11129
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
11130
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
11132
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
11133
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
11135
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
11136
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
11137
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
11139
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
11140
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
11141
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
11143
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
11144
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
11146
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
11147
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
11149
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
11150
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
11152
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
11153
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
11155
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
11156
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
11158
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
11159
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
11160
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
11162
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
11164
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
11165
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
11170
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
11171
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
11172
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
11174
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
11175
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
11177
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
11178
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
11179
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11181
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
11182
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11184
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11185
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11188
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11189
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11190
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11192
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11193
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11194
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11196
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11197
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11198
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11200
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
11201
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
11202
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
11204
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
11205
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
11206
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
11208
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
11209
instead. (Robert Collins)
11211
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
11216
:Released: 2006-05-17
11221
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
11226
:Released: 2006-05-16
11231
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
11232
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
11234
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
11235
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11237
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
11238
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
11239
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
11244
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
11246
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
11247
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
11249
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
11254
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
11255
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
11256
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
11257
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
11262
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
11263
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
11264
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
11269
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
11270
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
11271
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11276
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
11277
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

11284
Notes When Upgrading
11285
********************
11287
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11288
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11289
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11290
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11291
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11292
will keep the same format.
11294
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11295
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11296
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11297
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11298
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11300
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11301
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11302
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11303
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11304
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11305
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11306
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11308
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11309
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11310
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11311
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11312
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11314
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11315
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11316
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11323
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11324
convention. Paths now take the form::
5
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
11
code paths. (Robert Collins)
13
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
14
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
15
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
16
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
17
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
19
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
20
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
23
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* Convenience method TestCase.expectFailure ensures that known failures
26
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
28
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
29
in bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks. The two initial hooks allow
30
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
33
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
34
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
35
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
36
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
37
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
40
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
41
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
42
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
44
* ``LockableFiles.lock_write()`` now accepts a ``token`` keyword argument,
45
so that a seperate LockableFiles instance can share a lock if it has the
46
right token. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
50
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
51
(#98510, Ian Clatworthy)
53
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
54
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
56
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
57
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.
60
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
63
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
64
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
65
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
66
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
70
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
71
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
72
in running it. (Robert Collins)
74
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
75
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
77
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
78
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
79
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
80
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
81
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
82
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
83
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
84
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
86
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
87
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
88
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
90
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
91
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
92
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
93
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
94
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
96
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
103
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
106
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
107
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
110
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
114
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
115
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
120
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
121
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
122
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
123
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
124
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
125
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
126
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
127
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
132
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
133
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
134
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
136
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
137
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
140
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
141
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
144
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
145
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
146
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
147
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
148
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
152
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
155
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
156
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
158
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
159
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
161
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
162
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
163
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
165
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
166
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
168
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
169
last-changed-revision for directories. The
170
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
171
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
172
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
174
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
175
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
176
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
178
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

186
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
187
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
188
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
192
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
193
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
195
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
196
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
198
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
200
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
201
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
203
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
204
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
208
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
213
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
214
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
215
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
216
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
218
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
219
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
221
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
222
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
224
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
227
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
228
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
231
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
235
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
236
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
237
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
238
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
239
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
240
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
242
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
243
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
244
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
245
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
246
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
247
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
248
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
250
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
251
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
252
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
253
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
254
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
255
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
256
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
257
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
261
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
262
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
264
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
265
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
266
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
267
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
269
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
270
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
271
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
272
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
273
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
275
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
278
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
281
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
284
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
285
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
288
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
291
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
292
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
294
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
295
directory. (Martin Pool)
297
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
298
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
299
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
300
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
302
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
303
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
304
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
305
in docs/configuration.txt.
307
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
308
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
311
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
312
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
313
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
314
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
315
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
316
repositories. (Martin Pool)
318
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
319
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
321
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
322
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
324
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
329
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
330
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
331
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
332
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
333
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
336
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
337
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
340
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
341
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
344
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
345
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
346
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
347
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
348
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
350
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
351
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
352
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
354
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
355
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
356
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
357
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
359
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
361
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
362
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
363
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
364
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
366
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
367
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
368
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
369
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
371
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
372
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
373
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
375
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
376
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
377
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
379
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
380
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
381
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
382
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
384
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
385
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
386
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
388
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
389
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
390
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
392
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
393
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
394
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
395
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
396
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
397
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
398
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
399
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
400
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
401
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
402
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
406
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
407
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
408
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
410
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
413
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
414
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
415
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
416
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
418
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
419
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
422
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
423
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
425
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
427
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
428
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
430
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
431
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
433
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
436
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
439
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
440
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
442
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
444
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
445
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
449
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
450
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
457
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
461
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
462
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
463
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
465
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
466
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
467
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
470
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
474
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
475
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
476
server, then you can write over the http connection.
477
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
479
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
482
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
483
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
484
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
486
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
487
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
489
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
492
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
493
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
494
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
495
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
496
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
497
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
499
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
500
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
501
should enable you to do::
504
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
505
push_location:policy = appendpath
507
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
508
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
511
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
512
for each file. For example::
520
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
521
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
523
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
525
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
526
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
528
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
532
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
533
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
534
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
535
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
537
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
538
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
539
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
541
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
543
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
544
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
545
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
546
(Alexander Belchenko)
548
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
551
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
552
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
554
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
558
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
559
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
561
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
562
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
563
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
564
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
565
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
567
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
568
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
570
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
571
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
573
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
575
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
577
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
578
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
579
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
580
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
581
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
583
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
584
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
585
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
586
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
588
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
589
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
591
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
592
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
594
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
595
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
597
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
598
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
603
No changes from 0.13rc1
605
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
609
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
613
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
614
operations are substantially faster.
615
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
617
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
618
tree from some other url. For example:
619
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
622
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
623
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
624
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
625
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
627
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
630
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
631
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
632
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
633
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
634
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
635
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
639
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
640
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
643
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
644
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
647
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
648
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
649
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
652
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
653
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
655
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
656
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
661
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
662
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
665
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
666
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
667
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
668
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
670
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
672
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
673
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
675
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
676
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
677
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
678
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
680
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
681
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
682
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
684
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
685
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
686
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
689
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
690
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
692
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
694
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
695
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
697
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
698
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
700
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
701
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
702
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
703
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
705
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
706
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
707
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
709
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
710
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
712
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
713
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
714
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
715
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
716
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
720
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
721
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
727
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
728
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
731
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
735
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
736
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
737
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
738
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
740
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
741
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
743
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
745
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
746
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
747
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
748
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
750
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
751
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
752
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
753
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
758
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
759
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
763
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
764
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
765
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
767
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
768
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
771
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
772
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
773
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
775
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
776
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
779
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
780
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
781
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
783
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
784
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
785
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
786
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
787
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
788
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
790
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
791
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
792
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
795
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
796
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
800
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
801
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
802
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
805
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
806
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
808
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
809
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
810
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
812
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
813
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
815
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
816
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
817
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
818
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
820
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
821
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
823
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
824
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
825
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
827
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
828
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
830
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
832
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
833
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
838
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
839
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
840
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
841
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
843
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
844
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
845
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
849
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
851
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
855
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
857
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
860
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
864
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
865
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
866
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
867
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
868
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
869
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
870
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
872
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
873
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
874
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
876
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
878
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
879
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
881
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
882
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
883
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
886
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
887
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
888
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
891
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
892
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
893
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
894
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
897
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
898
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
899
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
904
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
905
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
907
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
909
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
910
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
911
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
913
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
914
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
916
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
917
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
919
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
922
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
923
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
925
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
927
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
928
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
930
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
931
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
933
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
934
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
936
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
939
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
940
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
941
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
943
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
944
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
946
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
947
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
948
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
949
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
951
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
952
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
953
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
955
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
956
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
960
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
964
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
965
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
968
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
969
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
970
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
971
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
973
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
976
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
977
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
978
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
980
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
981
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
983
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
984
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
985
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
987
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
988
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
989
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
990
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
991
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
992
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
993
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
994
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
997
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
998
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1000
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
1001
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1003
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
1004
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1005
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1006
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1007
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
1008
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1009
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1011
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1012
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1013
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1014
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1015
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1016
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1017
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1018
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1021
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1022
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1023
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1025
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1026
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1028
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
1029
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1031
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1032
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1036
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1037
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1039
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
1040
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
1043
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1044
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1045
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1050
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1051
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1053
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1054
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1055
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
1056
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1057
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1059
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1060
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1061
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1063
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1064
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1066
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1067
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1068
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1072
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1074
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1075
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1076
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1078
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1080
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1082
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1083
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1084
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1085
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1087
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1088
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1089
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1090
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1091
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1093
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1094
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1096
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1097
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1099
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1100
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1102
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1103
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
1106
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1107
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1111
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1112
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1113
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1114
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1115
(John Arbash Meinel)
1117
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1118
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1119
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1121
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1125
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1126
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1127
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1128
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1129
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1130
a more conservative list than the old default.
1131
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1132
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1133
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1134
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1136
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1137
to more locations than just branch locations.
1142
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1143
revno:N:branch. For example,
1144
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1145
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1147
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1148
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1149
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1150
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1151
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1152
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1153
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1154
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1157
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1158
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1159
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1162
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1163
(Alexander Belchenko)
1165
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1167
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1170
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1171
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1172
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1173
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1174
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1175
(John Arbash Meinel)
1177
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1178
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1179
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1180
grained analysis of performance.
1181
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1183
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1184
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1186
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1187
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1188
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1189
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1190
file. (Robert Collins).
1192
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1193
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1194
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1196
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1197
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1200
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1201
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1203
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1204
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1205
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1206
the same way you would apply another branch.
1207
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1209
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1210
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1212
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1215
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1218
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1219
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1220
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1222
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1223
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1224
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1226
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1227
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1229
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1230
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1231
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1232
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1233
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1235
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1236
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1238
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1239
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1240
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1241
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1242
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1243
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1244
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1245
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1247
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1248
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1249
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1253
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1254
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1257
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1258
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1260
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1261
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1263
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1264
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1266
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1268
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1269
(John Arbash Meinel)
1271
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1272
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1274
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1275
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1278
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1279
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1281
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1282
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1284
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1285
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1286
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1287
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1289
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1290
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1292
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1294
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1295
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1297
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1299
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1301
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1302
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1304
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1305
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1307
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1308
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1309
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1311
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1312
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1313
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1315
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1316
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1318
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1319
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1321
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1322
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1324
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1325
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1327
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1328
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1330
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1331
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1332
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1334
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1336
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1337
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1341
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1342
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1343
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1345
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1346
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1348
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1349
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1350
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1352
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1353
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1355
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1356
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1359
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1360
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1361
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1363
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1364
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1365
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1367
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1368
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1369
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1371
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1372
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1373
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1375
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1376
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1377
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1379
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1380
instead. (Robert Collins)
1382
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1384
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1388
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1390
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1394
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1395
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1397
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1398
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1400
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1401
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1402
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1406
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1408
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1409
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1411
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1415
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1416
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1417
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1418
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1422
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1423
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1424
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1428
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1429
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1430
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1434
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1435
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1439
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1441
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1442
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1443
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1444
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1445
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1446
will keep the same format.
1448
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1449
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1450
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1451
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1452
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1454
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1455
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1456
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1457
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1458
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1459
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1460
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1462
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1463
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1464
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1465
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1466
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1468
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1469
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1470
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1476
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1477
convention. Paths now take the form:
11326
1478
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
11328
1480
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11330
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
11331
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
11333
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
11334
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
11335
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
11337
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
11338
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
11339
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
11340
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
11342
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
11343
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
11344
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
11346
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
11348
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
11350
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
11351
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
11354
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
11355
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
11356
| xargs bzr re-sign
11358
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
11360
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
11361
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
11362
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
11365
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
11367
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
11369
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
11372
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
11373
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
11375
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
11376
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
11377
Daniel Silverstone)
11379
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
11380
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
11383
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
11385
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
11387
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
11388
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
11390
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
11391
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
11392
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
11393
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
11394
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
11395
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
11397
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
11399
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
11400
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
11403
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
11404
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
11406
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
11407
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
11409
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
11411
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
11412
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
11413
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
11414
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
11415
specification by Martin Pool.
11416
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
11418
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
11421
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
11422
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11424
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
11425
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
11426
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
11428
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
11430
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
11431
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
11437
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
11438
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11440
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
11442
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
11444
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
11447
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
11448
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
11449
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
11450
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
11455
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
11456
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
11457
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
11458
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11460
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
11461
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
11462
tried. (Martin Pool)
11464
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
11467
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
11469
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
11470
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
11471
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
11473
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
11474
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
11476
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
11477
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
11478
paths. (Robert Collins)
11480
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
11481
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
11482
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
11484
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
11485
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
11486
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
11488
* Progress bars are now nested - see
11489
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11490
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11492
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
11495
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
11498
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
11500
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11502
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11503
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11504
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11507
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11508
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11510
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11511
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11512
check. (Robert Collins)
11514
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11515
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
11520
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11521
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
11523
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
11524
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
11525
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
11526
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
11528
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
11529
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
11530
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
11531
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
11532
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
11534
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
11535
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
11536
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
11538
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11540
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11541
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
11546
:Released: 2006-01-09
11551
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11552
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
11554
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
11555
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
11556
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
11559
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
11560
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
11562
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
11563
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
11564
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
11565
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
11566
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
11568
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
11569
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
11570
used. (Robert Collins)
11572
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11573
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11576
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11577
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11578
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11580
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11583
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11584
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
11589
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11590
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11592
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11594
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11596
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11597
tree. (Robert Collins)
11599
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11600
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11601
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11604
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11607
* Tweaks to short log printing
11609
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11612
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11613
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11615
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11616
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11618
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11619
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11621
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11622
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11623
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11625
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11626
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11628
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11629
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11632
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11633
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11635
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11636
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11638
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11639
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11641
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11644
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11645
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11647
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11648
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11650
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11651
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
11652
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
11657
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
11659
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11661
* Error when run with -OO
11663
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
11666
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
11668
* Change status to 3 for all errors
11670
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
11671
ignored by diff and status
11673
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
11674
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
11676
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
11678
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
11680
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
11681
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
11683
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
11684
email address. (Marien Zwart)
11686
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
11689
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
11690
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11692
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
11694
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
11695
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
11697
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
11700
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
11701
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
11703
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
11708
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
11709
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
11711
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11713
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11715
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
11717
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
11718
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11719
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11721
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11723
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11724
(John Arbash Meinel)
11726
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11728
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11729
If adding a new test script please add that to
11730
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11732
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11733
imported. (Martin Pool)
11735
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11736
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11737
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11738
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11739
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11742
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11743
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11744
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11746
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11747
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11748
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11750
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11751
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11752
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11753
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11754
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11757
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11758
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11764
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11765
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11767
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11768
function. (Robert Collins)
11770
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
11771
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
11772
if needed). (Robert Collins)
11774
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
11775
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
11778
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
11779
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
11780
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
11781
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
11782
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
11783
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
11784
version. (Robert Collins)
11786
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
11787
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
11789
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
11790
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
11791
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
11792
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
11793
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
11794
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
11796
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
11799
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
1482
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1483
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1485
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1486
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1487
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1489
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1490
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1491
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1492
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1494
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1495
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1498
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1500
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1502
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1503
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1506
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1507
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1510
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1512
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1513
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1514
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1517
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1519
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1521
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1524
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1525
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1527
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1528
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1531
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1532
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1535
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1537
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1539
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1540
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1542
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1543
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1544
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1545
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1546
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1547
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1549
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1551
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1552
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1555
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1556
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1558
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1559
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1561
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1563
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1564
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1565
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1566
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1567
specification by Martin Pool.
1568
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1570
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1573
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1574
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1576
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1577
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1578
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1580
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1582
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1583
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1588
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1589
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1591
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1593
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1595
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1598
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1599
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1600
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1601
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1605
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1606
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1607
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1608
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1610
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1611
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1612
tried. (Martin Pool)
1614
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1617
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1619
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1620
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1621
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1623
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1624
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1626
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1627
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1628
paths. (Robert Collins)
1630
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1631
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1632
needs. (Robert Collins)
1634
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1635
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1636
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1638
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1639
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1641
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1644
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1647
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1649
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1651
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1652
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1653
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1656
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1657
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1659
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1660
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1661
check. (Robert Collins)
1663
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1664
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1668
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1669
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1671
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1672
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1673
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1674
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1676
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1677
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1678
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1679
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1680
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1682
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1683
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1684
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1686
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1688
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1689
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1695
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1696
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1698
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1699
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1700
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1703
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1704
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1706
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1707
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1708
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1709
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1710
(John Arbash Meinel)
1712
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1713
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1714
used. (Robert Collins)
1716
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1717
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1720
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1721
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1722
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1724
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1727
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1728
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1732
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1733
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1735
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1737
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1739
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1740
tree. (Robert Collins)
1742
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1743
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1744
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1747
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1750
* Tweaks to short log printing
1752
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1755
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1756
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1758
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1759
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1761
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1762
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1764
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1765
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1766
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1768
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1769
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1771
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1772
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1775
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1776
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1778
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1779
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1781
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1782
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1784
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1787
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1788
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1790
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1791
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1793
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1794
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1795
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1799
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1801
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1803
* Error when run with -OO
1805
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1808
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1810
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1812
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1813
ignored by diff and status
1815
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1816
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1818
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1820
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1822
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1823
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1825
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1826
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1828
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1831
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1832
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1834
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1836
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1837
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1839
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1842
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1845
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1849
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1850
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1852
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1854
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1856
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1858
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1859
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1860
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1862
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1864
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1865
(John Arbash Meinel)
1867
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1869
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1870
If adding a new test script please add that to
1871
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1873
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1874
imported. (Martin Pool)
1876
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1877
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not

1884
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1885
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1887
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1888
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1889

1898
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1899
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1904
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1905
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1907
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1908
function. (Robert Collins)
1910
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1911
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1912
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1914
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1915
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1917
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that

1925
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1926
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1928
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1929
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1930
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1931
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1932
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1933
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1935
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1938
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
11809
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
11811
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
11813
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
11816
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
11817
query method. (Robert Collins)
11819
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
11822
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
11825
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
11828
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
11829
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
11830
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
11831
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
11833
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
11834
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
11835
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
11836
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
11838
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion

11849
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11852
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11856
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11857
a separator, not ':'.
11860
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11861
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11862
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11864
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11865
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11868
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11869
has been added that suppresses all output.
11871
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11874
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11875
Goffredo Baroncelli.
11877
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
11878
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
11880
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
11881
a revision. (Robert Collins)
11883
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
11884
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
11885
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
11886
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
11888
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
11890
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
11891
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
11893
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
11894
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
11896
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
11897
output directory, if one was supplied.
11899
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
11900
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
11901
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
11902
parameters. (Robert Collins)
11904
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
11906
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
11907
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
11909
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
11910
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
11911
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
11913
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
11914
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
11916
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
11919
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
11921
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
11926
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
11927
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
11928
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
11930
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
11931
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
11932
related questions. (Robert Collins)
11934
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
11935
is given. (Martin Pool)
11937
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
11938
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
11939
file. (Robert Collins)
11941
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
11947
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
11948
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
11949
representation. (Martin Pool).
11951
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
11952
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
11953
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
11955
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11958
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
11959
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11962
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11963
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11964
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11965
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11966
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11968
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11969
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11970
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11971
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11972
python path. (Robert Collins)
11974
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11975
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11976
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11977
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11979
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11980
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11982
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11983
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
11986
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11987
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11988
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11990
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11991
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11992
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11994
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11995
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11997
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11998
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11999
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12002
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12003
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12004
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12005
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12008
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12011
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12012
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12015
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12016
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12017
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12019
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12020
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12021
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12023
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12024
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12025
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12027
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12028
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12030
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12031
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12032
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12033
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12034
caller. (Robert Collins)
12036
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
12037
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
12040
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
12041
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
12044
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
12046
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
12047
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
12052
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
12053
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
12055
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
12056
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
12062
:Released: 2005-10-12
12067
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
12068
allow directories to be listed.
12070
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
12071
upgrading branch format.
12076
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
12082
:Released: 2005-10-11
12087
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
12088
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
12089
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
12090
high-latency connections.
12095
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
12098
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
12099
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
12101
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12102
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
12103
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
12104
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12106
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
12107
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
12109
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
12110
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
12112
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
12113
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
12114
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12116
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
12117
for files with only a change to their executable status.
12118
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
12121
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
12122
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
12124
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
12125
different partial views of history.
12127
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
12128
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
12133
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12134
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12135
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12137
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12138
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12141
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12142
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12144
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
12147
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12148
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12150
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12151
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12152
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12153
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12155
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12157
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12158
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
12161
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
12162
Contributed by Robert Collins.
12164
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
12165
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
12166
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
12172
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
12173
for your viewing pleasure.
12175
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
12176
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
12178
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
12179
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
12180
handling of such circumstances.
12182
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12183
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12184
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12186
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12188
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12189
we call them revisions not patches.
12191
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12192
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12194
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12195
giving the revision *of that file*.
12197
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12198
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12199
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
12204
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
12205
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
12207
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
12208
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
12214
:Released: 2005-09-23
12219
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
12221
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
12224
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
12226
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
12228
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
12229
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12234
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
12235
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
12237
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
12238
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
12239
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
12240
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
12243
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
12244
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12249
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
12251
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
12252
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
12258
:Released: 2005-09-20
12264
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12265
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12266
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12267
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12270
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12273
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12274
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12275
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12276
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12277
for the operating system is still tried.
12279
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12280
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12281
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
12287
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
12292
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
12294
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
12297
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
12304
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
12306
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
12312
:Released: 2005-09-02
12317
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
12318
help with intelligent shell completion.
12320
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
12326
* Much better merge support.
12328
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
12329
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
12336
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
12337
mention revisions that are not present.
12339
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
12341
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
12343
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
12344
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
12350
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
12352
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
12353
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
12360
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
12361
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
12369
:Released: 2005-08-18
12374
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
12375
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
12377
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
12379
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
12380
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
12382
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
12385
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
12387
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
12390
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
12391
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
12393
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
12394
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
12395
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
12401
* Faster working tree operations.
12407
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
12408
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
12409
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
12410
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
12412
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
12413
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
12414
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
12415
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
12416
standard plugins directory.
12418
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
12419
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
12420
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
12421
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
12423
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
12424
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
12426
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
12429
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
12430
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
12431
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
12433
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
12434
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
12436
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
12437
line options must come before the command name because they
12438
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
12439
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
12442
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
12444
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
12445
is available with ``--short``.
12451
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
12457
:Released: 2005-06-15
12462
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
12463
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12465
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
12466
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
12467
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
12468
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12470
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
12471
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
12472
with the ``--forward`` option.
12474
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
12475
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
12482
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
12483
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
12485
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
12487
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
12488
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12490
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
12492
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
12493
either read or write mode.
12495
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
12497
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
12498
affected that file.
12500
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
12502
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
12503
suggested by LarstiQ.
12505
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
12506
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
12508
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
12511
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
12512
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
12514
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
12515
haven't changed since the previous time.
12517
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
12518
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
12520
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
12522
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
12524
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
12525
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
12527
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
12528
options through to an external GNU diff.
12530
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
12533
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
12540
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be

handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
12543
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
12550
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
12551
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
12554
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
12555
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
12557
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
12558
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
12560
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
12561
under a different version.
12563
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
12569
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
12571
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
12572
Scott James Remnant.
12574
* Better help messages for many commands.
12576
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
12577
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
12579
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
12580
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
12582
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
12584
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
12586
* New AtomicFile class.
12588
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
12594
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
12595
2.4 is now only recommended.
12601
:Released: 2005-04-22
12606
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
12607
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
12609
* More default ignore patterns.
12611
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
12612
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
12614
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
12616
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
12619
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
12625
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
12626
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
12627
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
12628
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
12629
there are DNS problems.
12631
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
12637
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
12639
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
12641
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
12642
trailing newlines properly.
12648
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
12651
* More tests in test.sh.
12653
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
12654
directory and delete it when done.
12656
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
12662
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
12665
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
12672
:Released: 2005-04-06
12677
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
12680
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
12682
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
12685
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
12688
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
12690
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
12695
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
12696
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
12702
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
12703
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
12709
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
12714
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1946
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1948
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1950
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1953
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1954
query method. (Robert Collins)
1956
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1959
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1962
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1966
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1967
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1968
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1969
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1971
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1972
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1973
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1974
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1976
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1977
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1983
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1986
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1990
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1991
a separator, not ':'.
1994
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1995
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1996
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1998
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1999
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2002
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2003
has been added that suppresses all output.
2005
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2008
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2009
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2011
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2012
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2014
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2015
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2017
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
2018
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
2019
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2020
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2022
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2024
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2025
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2027
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2028
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2030
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2031
output directory, if one was supplied.
2033
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
2034
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2035
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
2036
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2038
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2040
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2041
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2043
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2044
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2045
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2047
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2048
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2050
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2053
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2055
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2059
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2060
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2061
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2063
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2064
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2065
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2067
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2068
is given. (Martin Pool)
2070
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2071
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2072
file. (Robert Collins)
2074
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2079
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2080
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2081
representation. (Martin Pool).
2083
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2084
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2085
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2087
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2090
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2091
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2094
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2095
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2096
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2097
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2098
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2100
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2101
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2102
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
2103
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2104
python path. (Robert Collins)
2106
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2107
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2108
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2109
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2111
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2112
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2114
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2115
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2118
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2119
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2120
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2122
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2123
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2124
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2126
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2127
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2129
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2130
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2131
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2134
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2135
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2136
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2137
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2140
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2143
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2144
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2147
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2148
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2149
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2151
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2152
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2153
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2155
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2156
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2157
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2159
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2160
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2162
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2163
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2164
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2165
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2166
caller. (Robert Collins)
2168
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2169
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2172
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2173
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2175
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2177
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2178
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2182
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2183
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2185
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2186
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2189
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2193
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2194
allow directories to be listed.
2196
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2197
upgrading branch format.
2201
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2208
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2209
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2210
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2211
high-latency connections.
2215
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2218
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2219
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2221
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2222
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2223
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2224
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2226
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2227
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2229
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2230
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2232
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2233
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2234
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2236
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2237
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2238
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2241
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2242
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2244
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2245
different partial views of history.
2247
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2248
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2252
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2253
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2254
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2256
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2257
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2260
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2261
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2263
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2266
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2267
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2269
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2270
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2271
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2272
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2274
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2276
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2277
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2280
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2281
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2283
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2284
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2285
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2290
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2291
for your viewing pleasure.
2293
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2294
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2296
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2297
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2298
handling of such circumstances.
2300
* Remove RevisionReference class; Revision.parent_ids is now simply a
2301
list of their ids and parent_sha1s is a list of their corresponding
2302
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2304
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2306
* Renamed Branch.last_patch() to Branch.last_revision(), since
2307
we call them revisions not patches.
2309
* Move copy_branch to bzrlib.clone.copy_branch. The destination
2310
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2312
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2313
giving the revision *of that file*.
2315
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2316
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2317
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2321
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2322
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2324
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2325
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2328
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2332
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2334
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2337
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2339
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2341
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2342
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2346
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2347
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2349
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2350
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2351
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2352
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2355
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2356
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2360
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2362
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2363
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2366
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2370
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2371
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2372
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2373
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2376
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2379
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2380
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2381
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2382
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2383
for the operating system is still tried.
2385
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2386
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2387
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2392
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2396
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2398
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2401
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2407
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2409
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2412
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2416
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2417
help with intelligent shell completion.
2419
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2424
* Much better merge support.
2426
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2427
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2433
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2434
mention revisions that are not present.
2436
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2438
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2440
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2441
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2446
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2448
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2449
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2455
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2456
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2461
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2465
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2466
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2468
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2470
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2471
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2473
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2476
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2478
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2481
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2482
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2484
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2485
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2486
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2491
* Faster working tree operations.
2496
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2497
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2498
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2499
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2501
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2502
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2503
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2504
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2505
standard plugins directory.
2507
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2508
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2509
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2510
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2512
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2513
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2515
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2518
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2519
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2520
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2522
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2523
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2525
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2526
line options must come before the command name because they
2527
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2528
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2531
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2533
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2534
is available with ``--short``.
2539
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2542
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2546
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2547
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2549
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2550
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2551
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2552
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2554
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2555
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2556
with the ``--forward`` option.
2558
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2559
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2565
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2566
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2568
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2570
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2571
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2573
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2575
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2576
either read or write mode.
2578
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2580
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2583
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2585
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2586
suggested by LarstiQ.
2588
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2589
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2591
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2594
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2595
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2597
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2598
haven't changed since the previous time.
2600
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2601
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2603
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2605
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2607
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2608
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2610
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2611
options through to an external GNU diff.
2613
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2616
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2622
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2623
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2625
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2631
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2632
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2635
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2636
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2638
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2639
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2641
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2642
under a different version.
2644
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2649
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2651
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2652
Scott James Remnant.
2654
* Better help messages for many commands.
2656
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2657
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2659
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2660
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2662
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2664
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2666
* New AtomicFile class.
2668
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2673
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2674
2.4 is now only recommended.
2677
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2681
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2682
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2684
* More default ignore patterns.
2686
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2687
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2689
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2691
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2694
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2699
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2700
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2701
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2702
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2703
there are DNS problems.
2705
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2710
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2712
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2714
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2715
trailing newlines properly.
2720
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2723
* More tests in test.sh.
2725
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2726
directory and delete it when done.
2728
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2733
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2736
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2740
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2744
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2747
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2749
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2752
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2755
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2757
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2761
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2762
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2767
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2768
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2773
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2777
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
12723
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
