5
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
12
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
13
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
18
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
19
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
20
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
21
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
22
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
23
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
24
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
25
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
30
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
31
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
32
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
34
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
35
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
38
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
39
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
44
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
47
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
48
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
50
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
51
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
53
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
54
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
55
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
57
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
58
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
60
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
61
last-changed-revision for directories. The
62
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
63
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
64
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
66
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
67
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
68
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
70
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
74
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
78
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
79
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
80
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
84
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
85
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
87
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
88
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
90
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
92
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
93
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
95
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
96
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
100
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
105
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
106
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
107
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
108
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
110
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
111
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
113
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
114
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
116
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
119
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
120
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
123
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
127
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
128
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
129
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
130
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
131
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
132
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
134
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
135
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
136
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
137
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
138
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
139
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
140
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
142
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
143
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
144
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
145
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
146
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
147
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
148
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
149
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
153
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
154
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
156
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
157
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
158
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
159
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
161
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
162
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
163
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
164
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
165
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
167
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
170
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
173
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
176
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
177
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
180
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
183
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
184
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
186
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
187
directory. (Martin Pool)
189
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
190
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
191
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
192
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
194
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
195
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
196
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
197
in docs/configuration.txt.
199
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
200
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
203
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
204
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
205
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
206
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
207
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
208
repositories. (Martin Pool)
210
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
211
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
213
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
214
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
216
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
221
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
222
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
223
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
224
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
225
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
228
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
229
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
232
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
233
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
236
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
237
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
238
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
239
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
240
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
242
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
243
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
244
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
246
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
247
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
248
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
249
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
251
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
253
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
254
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
255
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
256
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
258
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
259
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
260
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
261
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
263
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
264
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
265
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
267
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
268
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
269
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
271
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
272
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
273
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
274
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
276
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
277
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
278
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
280
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
281
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
282
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
284
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
285
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
286
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
287
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
288
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
289
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
290
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
291
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
292
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
293
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
294
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
298
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
299
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
300
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
302
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
305
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
306
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
307
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
308
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
310
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
311
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
314
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
315
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
317
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
319
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
320
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
322
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
323
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
325
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
328
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
331
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
332
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
334
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
336
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
337
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
341
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
342
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
349
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
353
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
354
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
355
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
357
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
358
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
359
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
362
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
366
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
367
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
368
server, then you can write over the http connection.
369
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
371
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
374
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
375
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
376
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
378
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
379
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
381
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
384
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
385
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
386
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
387
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
388
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
389
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
391
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
392
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
393
should enable you to do::
396
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
397
push_location:policy = appendpath
399
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
400
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
403
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
404
for each file. For example::
412
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
413
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
415
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
417
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
418
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
420
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
424
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
425
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
426
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
427
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
429
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
430
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
431
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
433
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
435
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
436
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
437
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
438
(Alexander Belchenko)
440
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
443
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
444
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
446
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
450
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
451
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
453
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
454
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
455
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
456
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
457
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
459
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
460
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
462
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
463
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
465
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
467
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
469
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
470
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
471
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
472
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
473
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
475
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
476
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
477
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
478
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
480
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
481
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
483
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
484
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
486
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
487
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
489
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
490
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
495
No changes from 0.13rc1
497
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
501
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
505
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
506
operations are substantially faster.
507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
509
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
510
tree from some other url. For example:
511
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
514
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
515
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
516
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
517
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
519
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
522
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
523
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
524
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
525
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
526
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
527
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
531
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
532
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
535
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
536
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
539
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
540
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
541
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
544
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
545
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
547
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
548
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
553
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
554
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
557
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
558
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
559
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
560
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
562
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
564
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
565
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
567
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
568
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
569
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
572
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
573
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
574
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
576
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
577
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
578
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
581
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
582
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
584
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
586
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
587
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
589
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
590
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
592
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
593
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
594
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
595
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
597
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
598
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
599
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
601
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
602
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
604
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
605
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
606
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
607
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
608
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
612
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
613
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
619
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
620
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
623
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
627
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
628
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
629
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
630
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
632
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
633
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
635
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
637
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
638
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
639
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
640
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
642
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
643
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
644
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
645
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
650
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
651
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
655
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
656
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
657
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
659
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
660
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
663
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
664
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
665
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
667
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
668
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
671
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
672
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
673
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
675
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
676
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
677
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
678
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
679
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
680
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
682
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
683
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
684
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
687
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
688
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
692
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
693
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
694
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
697
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
698
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
700
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
701
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
702
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
704
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
705
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
707
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
708
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
709
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
710
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
712
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
713
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
715
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
716
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
717
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
719
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
720
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
722
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
724
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
725
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
730
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
731
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
732
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
733
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
735
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
736
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
737
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
741
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
743
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
747
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
749
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
752
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
756
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
757
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
758
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
759
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
760
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
761
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
762
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
764
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
765
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
766
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
768
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
770
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
771
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
773
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
774
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
775
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
778
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
779
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
780
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
783
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
784
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
785
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
786
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
789
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
790
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
791
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
796
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
797
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
799
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
801
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
802
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
803
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
805
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
806
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
808
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
809
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
811
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
814
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
815
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
817
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
819
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
820
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
822
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
823
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
825
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
826
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
828
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
831
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
832
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
833
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
835
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
836
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
838
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
839
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
840
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
841
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
843
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
844
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
845
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
847
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
848
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
852
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
856
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
857
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
860
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
861
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
862
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
863
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
865
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
868
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
869
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
870
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
872
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
873
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
875
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
876
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
877
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
879
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
880
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
881
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
882
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
883
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
884
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
885
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
886
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
889
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
890
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
892
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
893
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
895
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
896
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
897
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
898
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
899
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
900
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
901
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
903
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
904
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
905
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
906
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
907
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
908
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
909
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
910
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
913
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
914
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
915
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
917
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
918
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
920
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
921
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
923
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
924
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
928
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
929
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
931
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
932
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
935
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
936
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
937
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
942
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
943
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
945
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
946
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
947
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
948
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
949
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
951
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
952
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
953
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
955
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
956
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
958
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
959
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
960
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
964
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
966
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
967
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
968
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
970
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
972
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
974
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
975
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
976
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
977
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
979
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
980
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
981
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
982
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
983
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
985
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
986
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
988
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
989
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
991
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
992
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
994
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
995
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
998
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
999
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1003
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1004
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1005
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1006
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1007
(John Arbash Meinel)
1009
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1010
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1011
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1013
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1017
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1018
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1019
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1020
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1021
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1022
a more conservative list than the old default.
1023
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1024
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1025
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1026
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1028
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1029
to more locations than just branch locations.
1034
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1035
revno:N:branch. For example,
1036
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1037
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1039
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1040
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1041
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1042
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1043
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1044
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1045
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1046
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1049
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1050
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1051
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1054
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1055
(Alexander Belchenko)
1057
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1059
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1062
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1063
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1064
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1065
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1066
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1067
(John Arbash Meinel)
1069
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1070
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1071
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1072
grained analysis of performance.
1073
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1075
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1076
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1078
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1079
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1080
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1081
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1082
file. (Robert Collins).
1084
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1085
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1086
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1088
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1089
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1092
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1093
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1095
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1096
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1097
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1098
the same way you would apply another branch.
1099
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1101
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1102
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1104
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1107
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1110
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1111
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1112
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1114
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1115
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1116
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1118
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1119
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1121
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1122
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1123
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1124
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1125
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1127
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1128
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1130
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1131
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1132
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1133
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1134
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1135
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1136
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1137
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1139
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1140
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1141
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1145
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1146
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1149
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1150
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1152
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1153
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1155
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1156
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1158
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1160
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1161
(John Arbash Meinel)
1163
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1164
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1166
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1167
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1170
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1171
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1173
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1174
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1176
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1177
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1178
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1179
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1181
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1182
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1184
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1186
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1187
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1189
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1191
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1193
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1194
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1196
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1197
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1199
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1200
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1201
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1203
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1204
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1205
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1207
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1208
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1210
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1211
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1213
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1214
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1216
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1217
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1219
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1220
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1222
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1223
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1224
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1226
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1228
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1229
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1233
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1234
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1235
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1237
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1238
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1240
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1241
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1242
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1244
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1245
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1247
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1248
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1251
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1252
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1253
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1255
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1256
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1257
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1259
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1260
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1261
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1263
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1264
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1265
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1267
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1268
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1269
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1271
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1272
instead. (Robert Collins)
1274
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1276
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1280
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1282
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1286
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1287
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1289
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1290
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1292
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1293
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1294
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1298
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1300
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1301
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1303
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1307
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1308
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1309
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1310
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1314
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1315
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1316
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1320
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1321
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1322
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1326
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1327
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1331
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1333
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1334
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1335
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1336
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1337
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1338
will keep the same format.
1340
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1341
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1342
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1343
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1344
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1346
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1347
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1348
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1349
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1350
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1351
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1352
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1354
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1355
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1356
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1357
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1358
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1360
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1361
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1362
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1368
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1369
convention. Paths now take the form:
1370
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1372
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1374
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1375
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1377
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1378
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1379
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1381
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1382
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1383
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1384
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1386
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1387
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1390
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1392
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1394
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1395
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1398
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1399
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1402
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1404
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1405
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1406
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1409
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1411
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1413
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1416
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1417
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1419
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1420
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1423
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1424
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1427
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1429
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1431
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1432
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1434
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1435
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1436
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1437
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1438
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1439
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1441
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1443
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1444
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1447
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1448
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1450
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1451
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1453
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1455
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1456
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1457
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1458
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1459
specification by Martin Pool.
1460
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1462
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1465
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1466
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1468
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1469
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1470
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1472
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1474
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1475
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1480
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1481
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1483
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1485
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1487
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1490
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1491
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1492
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1493
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1497
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1498
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1499
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1500
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1502
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1503
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1504
tried. (Martin Pool)
1506
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1509
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1511
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1512
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1513
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1515
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1516
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1518
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1519
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1520
paths. (Robert Collins)
1522
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1523
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1524
needs. (Robert Collins)
1526
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1527
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1528
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1530
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1531
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1533
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1536
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1539
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1541
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1543
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1544
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1545
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1548
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1549
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1551
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1552
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1553
check. (Robert Collins)
1555
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1556
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1560
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1561
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1563
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1564
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1565
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1566
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1568
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1569
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1570
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1571
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1572
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1574
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1575
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1576
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1578
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1580
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1581
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1587
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1588
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1590
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1591
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1592
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1595
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1596
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1598
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1599
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1600
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1601
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1602
(John Arbash Meinel)
1604
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1605
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1606
used. (Robert Collins)
1608
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1609
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1612
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1613
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1614
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1616
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1619
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1620
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1624
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1625
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1627
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1629
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1631
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1632
tree. (Robert Collins)
1634
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1635
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1636
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1639
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1642
* Tweaks to short log printing
1644
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1647
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1648
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1650
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1651
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1653
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1654
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1656
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1657
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1658
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1660
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1661
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1663
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1664
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1667
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1668
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1670
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1671
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1673
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1674
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1676
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1679
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1680
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1682
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1683
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1685
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1686
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1687
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1691
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1693
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1695
* Error when run with -OO
1697
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1700
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1702
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1704
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1705
ignored by diff and status
1707
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1708
able to be used. (John A Meinel)

* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1712
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1714
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1715
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1717
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1718
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1720
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1723
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1724
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1726
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1728
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1729
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1731
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1734
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1737
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1741
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1742
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1744
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1746
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1748
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1750
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1751
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1752
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1754
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1756
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1757
(John Arbash Meinel)
1759
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1761
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1762
If adding a new test script please add that to
1763
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1765
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1766
imported. (Martin Pool)
1768
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1769
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1770
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1771
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1772
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1775
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1776
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1777
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1779
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1780
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1781
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1783
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1784
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1785
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1786
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1787
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1790
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1791
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1796
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1797
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1799
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1800
function. (Robert Collins)
1802
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1803
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1804
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1806
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1807
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1809
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1810
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1811
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1812
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1813
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1814
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1815
version. (Robert Collins)
1817
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1818
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1820
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1821
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1822
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1823
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1824
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1825
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1827
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1830
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1838
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1840
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1842
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1845
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1846
query method. (Robert Collins)
1848
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1851
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1854
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1858
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1859
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1860
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1861
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1863
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1864
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1865
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1866
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1868
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1869
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1875
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1878
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1882
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1883
a separator, not ':'.
1886
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1887
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1888
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1890
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1891
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1894
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1895
has been added that suppresses all output.
1897
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1900
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1901
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1903
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1904
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1906
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1907
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1909
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1910
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1911
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1912
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1914
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1916
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1917
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1919
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1920
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1922
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1923
output directory, if one was supplied.
1925
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1926
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1927
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1928
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1930
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1932
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1933
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1935
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1936
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1937
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1939
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1940
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1942
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1945
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1947
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1951
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1952
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1953
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1955
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1956
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1957
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1959
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1960
is given. (Martin Pool)
1962
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1963
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1964
file. (Robert Collins)
1966
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1971
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1972
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1973
representation. (Martin Pool).
1975
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1976
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1977
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1979
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1982
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1983
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1986
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1987
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1988
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1989
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1990
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1992
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1993
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1994
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1995
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1996
python path. (Robert Collins)
1998
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1999
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2000
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2001
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2003
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2004
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2006
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2007
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2010
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2011
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2012
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2014
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2015
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2016
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2018
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2019
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2021
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2022
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2023
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2026
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2027
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2028
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2029
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2032
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2035
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2036
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2039
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2040
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2041
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2043
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2044
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2045
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2047
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2048
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2049
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2051
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2052
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2054
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2055
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2056
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2057
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2058
caller. (Robert Collins)
2060
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2061
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2064
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2065
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2067
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2069
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2070
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2074
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2075
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2077
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2078
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2081
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2085
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2086
allow directories to be listed.
2088
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2089
upgrading branch format.
2093
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2100
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2101
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2102
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2103
high-latency connections.
2107
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2110
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2111
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2113
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2114
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2115
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2116
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2118
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2119
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2121
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2122
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2124
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2125
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2126
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2128
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2129
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2130
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2133
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2134
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2136
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2137
different partial views of history.
2139
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2140
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2144
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2145
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2146
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2148
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2149
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2152
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2153
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2155
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2158
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2159
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2161
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2162
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2163
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2164
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2166
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2168
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2169
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2172
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2173
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2175
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2176
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2177
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2182
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2183
for your viewing pleasure.
2185
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2186
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2188
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2189
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2190
handling of such circumstances.
2195
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2196
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2198
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2199
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2202
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2206
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2208
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2211
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2213
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2215
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2216
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2220
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2221
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2223
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2224
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2225
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2226
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2229
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2230
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2234
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2236
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2237
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2240
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2244
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2245
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2246
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2247
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2250
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2253
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2254
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2255
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2256
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2257
for the operating system is still tried.
2259
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2260
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2261
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2266
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2270
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2272
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2275
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2281
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2283
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2286
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2290
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2291
help with intelligent shell completion.
2293
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2298
* Much better merge support.
2300
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2301
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2307
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2308
mention revisions that are not present.
2310
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2312
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2314
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2315
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2320
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2322
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2323
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2329
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2330
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2335
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2339
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2340
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2342
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2344
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2345
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2347
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2350
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2352
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2355
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2356
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2358
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2359
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2360
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2365
* Faster working tree operations.
2370
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2371
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2372
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2373
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2375
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2376
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2377
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2378
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2379
standard plugins directory.
2381
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2382
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2383
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2384
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2386
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2387
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2389
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2392
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2393
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2394
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2396
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2397
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2399
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2400
line options must come before the command name because they
2401
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2402
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2405
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2407
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2408
is available with ``--short``.
2413
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2416
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2420
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2421
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2423
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2424
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2425
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2426
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2428
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2429
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2430
with the ``--forward`` option.
2432
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2433
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2439
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2440
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2442
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2444
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2445
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2447
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2449
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2450
either read or write mode.
2452
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2454
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2457
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2459
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2460
suggested by LarstiQ.
2462
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2463
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2465
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2468
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2469
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2471
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2472
haven't changed since the previous time.
2474
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2475
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2477
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2479
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2481
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2482
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2484
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2485
options through to an external GNU diff.
2487
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2490
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2496
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2497
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2499
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2505
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2506
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2509
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2510
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2512
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2513
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2515
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2516
under a different version.
2518
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2523
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2525
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2526
Scott James Remnant.
2528
* Better help messages for many commands.
2530
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2531
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2533
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2534
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2536
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2538
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2540
* New AtomicFile class.
2542
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2547
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2548
2.4 is now only recommended.
2551
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2555
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2556
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2558
* More default ignore patterns.
2560
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2561
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2563
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2565
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2568
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2573
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2574
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2575
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2576
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2577
there are DNS problems.
2579
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2584
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2586

2588
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2589
trailing newlines properly.
2594
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2597
* More tests in test.sh.
2599
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2600
directory and delete it when done.
2602
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2607
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2610
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2614
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2618
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2621
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2623
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2626
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2629
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2631
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2635
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2636
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2641
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2642
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2647
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2651
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2658
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
2661
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
2665
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
2667
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
2668
rather than replacing it.
2670
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
2674
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
2677
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
2678
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
2680
* Performance improvements.
2682
* New global --profile option.
2684
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
2685
the root directory only.
2688
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
2692
* More information from info command.
2694
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
2696
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
2697
committing to stores.
2699
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
2703
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
2707
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
2708
installation easier.
2710
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
