BUGFIXES:
4
5
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.

14
BUGFIXES:
15
16
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
17
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
18
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
19
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
20
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
21
22
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
23
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
24
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
25
26
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
27
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
28
29
IMPROVEMENTS:
30
31
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
32
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
33
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
34
35
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
36
37
BUGFIXES:
38
39
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
40
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
41
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
42
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
43
44
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
45
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
46
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
47
48
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
49
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
50
51
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
52
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
53
54
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
55
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
56
57
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
58
59
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
60
61
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
62
it could be recovered again.
63
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
64
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
65
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
66
but not delete it.
67
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
68
files.
69
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
70
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
71
72
IMPROVEMENTS:
73
74
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
75
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
76
77
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
78
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
79
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
80
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
81
82
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
83
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
84
85
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
86
tests with names that match that regular expression.
87
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
88
89
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
90
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
91
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
92
93
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
94
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
95
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
96
97
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
98
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
99
Robert Collins)
100
101
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
102
Pool)
103
104
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
105
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
106
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
107
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
108
109
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
110
(Robert Collins)
111
112
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
113
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
114
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
115
(Robert Collins)
116
117
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
118
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
119
120
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
121
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
122
123
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
124
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
125
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
126
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
127
(Robert Collins)
128
129
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
130
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
131
132
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
133
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
134
135
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
136
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
137
(Robert Collins, #107125).
138
139
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
140
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
141
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
142
143
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
144
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
145
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
146
147
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
148
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
149
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
150
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
151
152
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
153
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
154
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
155
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
156
157
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
158
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
159
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
160
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
161
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
162
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
163
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
164
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
165
header(s).
166
(Vincent Ladeuil).
167
168
INTERNALS:
169
170
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
171
code paths. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
174
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
175
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
176
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
177
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
178
179
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
180
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
181
182
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
183
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
184
185
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
186
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
187
188
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
189
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
190
191
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
192
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
193
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
194
(Robert Collins).
195
196
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
197
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
198
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
199
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
200
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
201
(Robert Collins)
202
203
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
204
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
205
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
206
207
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
208
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
209
(Vincent Ladeuil).
210
211
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
212
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
213
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
214
(Vincent Ladeuil).
215
216
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
217
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
218
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
219
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
220
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
221
222
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
223
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
224
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
225
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
226
227
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
228
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
229
230
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
231
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
232
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
233
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
234
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
235
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
236
237
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
238
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
239
240
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
241
help. (Robert Collins)
242
243
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
244
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
245
246
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
247
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
248
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
249
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
250
(John Arbash Meinel)
251
252
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
253
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
254
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
255
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
256
useful. (Robert Collins)
257
258
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
259
(Andrew Bennetts)
260
261
BUGFIXES:
262
263
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
264
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
265
266
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
267
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
268
269
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
270
properly and is no longer beneficial.
271
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
272
273
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
274
(Aaron Bentley)
275
276
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
277
the file, and does it faster.
278
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
279
280
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
281
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
282
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
283
284
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
285
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
286
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
287
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
288
289
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
290
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
291
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
292
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
293
294
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
295
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
296
297
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
298
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
299
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
300
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
301
Arbash Meinel)
302
303
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
304
305
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
306
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
307
308
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
309
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
310
311
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
312
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
313
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
314
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
315
security hole.
316
(Vincent Ladeuil)
317
318
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
319
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
320
321
TESTING:
322
323
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
324
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
325
in running it. (Robert Collins)
326
327
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
328
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
329
330
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
331
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
332
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
333
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
334
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
335
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
336
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
337
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
338
339
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
340
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
341
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
342
343
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
344
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
345
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
346
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
347
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
348
access.
349
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
350
351
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
352
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
353
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
354
355
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
356
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
357
(Vincent Ladeuil)

bzr 0.15 2007-04-01
360
361
BUGFIXES:
362
363
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
364
(Aaron Bentley)
365
366
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
367
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
368
(Martin Pool)
369
370
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
371
372
CHANGES:
373
374
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
375
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
376
(Martin Pool)
377
378
IMPROVEMENTS:
379
380
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
381
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
382
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
383
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
384
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
385
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
386
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
387
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
388
path. (vila)
389
390
INTERNALS:
391
392
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
393
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
394
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
395
396
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
397
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
398
(Martin Pool)
399
400
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
401
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
402
(John Arbash Meinel)
403
404
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
405
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
406
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
407
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
408
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
409
410
BUGFIXES:
411
412
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
413
(vila, #92195)
414
415
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
416
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
417
418
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
419
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
420
421
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
422
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
423
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
424
425
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
426
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
427
428
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
429
last-changed-revision for directories. The
430
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
431
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
432
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
433
434
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
435
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
436
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
437
438
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
442
443
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
444
445
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
446
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
447
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
448
449
IMPROVEMENTS:
450
451
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
452
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
453
454
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
455
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
456
457
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
458
459
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
460
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
461
462
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
463
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
464
465
INTERNALS:
466
467
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
468
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
469
470
BUGFIXES:
471
472
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
473
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
474
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
475
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
476
477
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
478
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
479
480
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
481
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
482
483
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
484
(Marien Zwart)
485
486
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
487

490
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
491
492
SURPRISES:
493
494
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
495
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
496
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
497
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
498
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
499
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
500
501
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
502
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
503
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
504
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
505
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
506
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
507
development.
508
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
509
510
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
511
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
512
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
513
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
514
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
515
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
516
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
517
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
518
519
IMPROVEMENTS:
520
521
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
522
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
523
524
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
525
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
526
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
527
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
528
does exist.
529
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
530
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
531
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
532
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
533
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
534
535
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
536
(Aaron Bentley)
537
538
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
539
(Aaron Bentley)
540
541
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
542
(Robert Collins)
543
544
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
545
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
546
(Aaron Bentley)
547
548
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
549
(Aaron Bentley)
550
551
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
552
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
553
554
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
555
directory. (Martin Pool)
556
557
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
558
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
559
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
560
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
561
562
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
563
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
564
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
565
in docs/configuration.txt.
566
567
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
568
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
569
bind location.
570
571
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
572
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
573
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
574
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
575
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
576
repositories. (Martin Pool)
577
578
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
579
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
580
581
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
582
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
583
584
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
585
(Aaron Bentley)
586
587
INTERNALS:
588
589
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
590
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
591
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
592
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
593
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
594
(John Arbash Meinel)
595
596
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
597
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
598
(Aaron Bentley)
599
600
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
601
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
602
(John Arbash Meinel)
603
604
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
605
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
606
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
607
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
608
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
609
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
610
611
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
612
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
613
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
614
615
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
616
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
617
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
618
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
619
repository.
620
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
621
622
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
623
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
624
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
625
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
626
627
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
628
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
629
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
630
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
631
632
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
633
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
634
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
635
636
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
637
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
638
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
639
640
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
641
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
642
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
643
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
644
645
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
646
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
647
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
648
649
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
650
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
651
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
652
653
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
654
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
655
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
656
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
657
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
658
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
659
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
660
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
661
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
662
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
663
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
664
665
BUGFIXES:
666
667
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
668
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
669
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
670
671
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
672
(Aaron Bentley)
673
674
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
675
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
676
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
677
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
678
679
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
680
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
681
#83954).
682
683
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
684
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
685
686
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
687
688
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
689
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
690
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
691
692
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
693
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
694
695
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
697
698
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
700
701
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
702
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
703
704
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
705

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
707
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
708
709
TESTING:
710
711
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
712
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

717
IMPROVEMENTS:
718
719
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
720
721
BUG FIXES:
722
723
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
724
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
725
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
726
727
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
728
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
729
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
730
731
732
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
733
734
IMPROVEMENTS:
735
736
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
737
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
738
server, then you can write over the http connection.
739
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
740
741
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
742
(Marius Kruger)
743
744
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
745
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
746
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
747
748
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
749
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
750
751
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
752
(Aaron Bentley)
753
754
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
755
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
756
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
757
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
758
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
759
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
760
761
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
762
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
763
should enable you to do::
764
765
[/home/user/project]
766
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
767
push_location:policy = appendpath
768
769
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
770
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
771
(James Henstridge)
772
773
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
774
for each file. For example::
775
776
$ bzr status --short
777
A foo
778
A bar
779
D baz
780
? wooley
781
782
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
783
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
784
785
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
786
787
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
788
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
789
790
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
791
792
INTERNALS:
793
794
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
795
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
796
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
797
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
798
799
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
800
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
801
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
802
803
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
804
805
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
806
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
807
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
808
(Alexander Belchenko)
809
810
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
811
Pool)
812
813
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
814
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
815
816
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
817
818
BUG FIXES:
819
820
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
821
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
822
823
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
824
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
825
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
826
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
827
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
828
829
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
830
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
831
832
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
833
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
834
835
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
836
matcher.
837
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
838
839
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
840
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
841
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
842
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
843
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
844
845
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
846
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
847
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
848
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
849
850
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
851
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
852
853
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
854
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
855
856
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
857
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
870
871
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
872
tree from a branch.
873
(Daniel Silverstone)
874
875
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
876
operations are substantially faster.
877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
878
879
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
880
tree from some other url. For example:
881
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
882
(Daniel Silverstone)
883
884
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
885
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
886
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
887
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
888
889
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
890
(Andrew Bennetts)
891
892
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
893
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
894
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
895
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
896
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
897
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
898
899
INTERNALS:
900
901
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
902
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
903
(Martin Pool)
904
905
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
906
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
907
(John Arbash Meinel)
908
909
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
910
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
911
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
912
(John Arbash Meinel)
913
914
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
915
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
916
917
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
918
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
919
920
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
921
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
922
Bennetts)
923
924
BUG FIXES:
925
926
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
927
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
928
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
929
930
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
931
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
932
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
933
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
934
935
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
936
937
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
938
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
939
940
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
941
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
942
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
944
945
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
946
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
947
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
948
949
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
950
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
951
them as full references rather than integers.
952
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
953
954
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
955
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
956
957
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
958
959
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
960
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
961
962
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
963
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
964
965
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
966
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
967
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
968
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
969
970
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
971
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
972
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
973
974
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
975
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
976
977
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
978
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
979
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
980
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
981
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
982
983
TESTING:
984
985
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
986
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
987
988
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
989
990
INTERNALS:
991
992
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
993
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
994
(John Arbash Meinel)
995
996
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
997
998
IMPROVEMENTS:
999
1000
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1001
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1002
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1003
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1004
1005
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1006
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1007
1008
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1009
1010
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1011
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1012
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1013
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1014
1015
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1016
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1017
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1018
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1019
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1020
1021
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1022
1023
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1024
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1025
1026
INTERNALS:
1027
1028
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1029
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1030
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1031
1032
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1033
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1034
(John Arbash Meinel)
1035
1036
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1037
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1038
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1039
1040
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1041
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1042
(Aaron Bentley)
1043
1044
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1045
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1046
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1047
1048
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1049
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1050
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1051
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1052
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1053
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1054
1055
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1056
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1057
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1058
(Robert Collins)
1059
1060
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1061
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1062
1063
BUG FIXES:
1064
1065
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1066
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1067
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1068
#63360, #66349)
1069
1070
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1071
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1072
1073
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1074
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1075
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1076
1077
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1078
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1079
1080
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1081
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1082
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1083
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1084
1085
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1086
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1087
1088
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1089
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1090
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1091
1092
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1093
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1094
1095
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1096
1097
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1098
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1099
#32054)
1100
1101
TESTING:
1102
1103
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1104
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1105
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1106
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1107
1108
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1109
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1110
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1111
1112
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
1113
1114
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1115
1116
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1117
1118
BUG FIXES:
1119
1120
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1121
1122
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1123
Arbash Meinel).
1124
1125
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1126
1127
IMPROVEMENTS:
1128
1129
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1130
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1131
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1132
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1133
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1134
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1135
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1136
1137
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1138
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1139
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1140
1141
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1142
1143
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1144
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1145
1146
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1147
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1148
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1149
(Robert Collins)
1150
1151
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1152
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1153
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1154
(John Arbash Meinel)
1155
1156
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1157
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1158
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1159
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1160
Pool)
1161
1162
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1163
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1164
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1165
(John Arbash Meinel)
1166
1167
BUG FIXES:
1168
1169
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1170
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1171
1172
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1173
1174
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1175
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1176
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1177
1178
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1179
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1180
1181
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1182
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1183
1184
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1186
1187
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1188
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1189
1190
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1191
1192
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1193
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1194
1195
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1196
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1197
1198
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1199
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1200
1201
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1202
(John Arbash Meinel)
1203
1204
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1205
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1206
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1207
1208
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1209
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1210
1211
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1212
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1213
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1214
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1215
1216
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1217
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1218
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1219
1220
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1221
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1222
1223
PORTABILITY:
1224
1225
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1226
1227
INTERNALS:
1228
1229
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1230
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1231
(John Arbash Meinel)
1232
1233
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1234
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1235
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1236
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1237
1238
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1239
(Andrew Bennetts)
1240
1241
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1242
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1243
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1244
1245
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1246
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1247
1248
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1249
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1250
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1251
1252
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1253
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1254
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1255
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1256
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1257
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1258
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1259
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1260
caller to repeat their request.
1261
(John Arbash Meinel)
1262
1263
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1264
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1265
1266
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1267
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1268
1269
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1270
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1271
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1272
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1273
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1274
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1275
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1276
1277
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1278
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1279
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1280
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1281
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1282
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1283
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1284
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1285
(Robert Collins)
1286
1287
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1288
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1289
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1290
1291
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1292
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1293
1294
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1295
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1296
1297
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1298
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1299
1300
TESTING:
1301
1302
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1303
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1304
1305
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1306
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1307
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1308
1309
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1310
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1311
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1312
1313
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1314
1315
IMPROVEMENTS:
1316
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1317
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1318
1319
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1320
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1321
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1322
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1323
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1324
1325
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1326
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1327
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1328
1329
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1330
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1331
1332
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1333
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1334
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1335
1336
BUG FIXES:
1337
1338
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1339
1340
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1341
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1342
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1343
1344
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1345
1346
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1347
1348
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1349
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1350
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1351
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1352
1353
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1354
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1355
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1356
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1357
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1358
1359
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1360
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1361
1362
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1363
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1364
1365
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1366
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1367
1368
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1369
in handling of revision properties.
1370
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1371
1372
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1373
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1374
1375
INTERNALS:
1376
1377
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1378
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1379
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1380
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1381
(John Arbash Meinel)
1382
1383
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1384
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1385
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1386
1387
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1388
1389
SURPRISES:
1390
1391
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1392
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1393
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1394
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1395
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1396
a more conservative list than the old default.
1397
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1398
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1399
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1400
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1401
1402
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1403
to more locations than just branch locations.
1404
(Aaron Bentley)
1405
1406
IMPROVEMENTS:
1407
1408
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1409
revno:N:branch. For example,
1410
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1411
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1412
1413
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1414
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1415
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1416
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1417
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1418
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1419
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1420
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1421
#42517, #42514)
1422
1423
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1424
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1425
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1426
(Malone #3507)
1427
1428
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1429
(Alexander Belchenko)
1430
1431
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1432
1433
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1434
(Robert Collins).
1435
1436
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1437
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1438
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1439
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1440
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1441
(John Arbash Meinel)
1442
1443
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1444
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1445
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1446
grained analysis of performance.
1447
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1448
1449
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1450
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1451
1452
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1453
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1454
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1455
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1456
file. (Robert Collins).
1457
1458
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1459
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1460
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1461
1462
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1463
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1464
Matthieu Moy)
1465
1466
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1467
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1468
1469
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1470
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1471
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1472
the same way you would apply another branch.
1473
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1474
1475
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1476
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1477
1478
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1479
(Michael Ellerman)
1480
1481
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1482
(Aaron Bentley)
1483
1484
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1485
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1486
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1487
1488
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1489
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1490
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1491
1492
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1493
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1494
1495
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1496
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1497
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1498
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1499
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1500
1501
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1502
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1503
1504
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1505
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1506
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1507
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1508
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1509
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1510
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1511
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1512
1513
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1514
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1515
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1516
1517
BUG FIXES:
1518
1519
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1520
tests not to run.
1521
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1522
1523
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1524
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1525
1526
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1527
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1528
1529
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1530
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1531
1532
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1533
1534
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1535
(John Arbash Meinel)
1536
1537
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1538
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1539
1540
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1541
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1542
and y.
1543
1544
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1545
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1546
1547
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1548
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1549
1550
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1551
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1552
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1553
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1554
1555
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1556
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1557
1558
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1559
1560
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1561
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1562
1563
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1564
1565
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1566
1567
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1568
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1569
1570
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1571
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1572
1573
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1574
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1575
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1576
1577
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1578
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1579
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1580
1581
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1582
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1583
1584
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1585
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1586
1587
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1588
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1589
1590
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1591
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1592
1593
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1594
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1595
1596
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1597
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1598
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1599
1600
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1601
1602
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1603
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1604
1605
INTERNALS:
1606
1607
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1608
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1609
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1610
1611
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1612
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1613
1614
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1615
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1616
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1617
1618
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1619
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1620
1621
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1622
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1623
(Martin Pool)
1624
1625
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1626
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1627
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1628
1629
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1630
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1631
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1632
1633
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1634
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1635
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1636
1637
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1638
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1639
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1640
1641
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1642
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1643
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1644
1645
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1646
instead. (Robert Collins)
1647
1648
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1649
1650
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1651
1652
BUG FIXES:
1653
1654
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1655
1656
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1657
1658
BUG FIXES:
1659
1660
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1661
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1662
1663
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1664
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1665
1666
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1667
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1668
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1669
1670
CHANGES:
1671
1672
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1673
1674
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1675
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1676
1677
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1678
1679
CHANGES:
1680
1681
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1682
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1683
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1684
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1685
1686
NEW FEATURES:
1687
1688
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1689
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1690
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1691
1692
INTERNALS:
1693
1694
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1695
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1696
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1697
1698
TESTING:
1699
1700
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1701
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1702
1703
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1704
1705
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1706
1707
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1708
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1709
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1710
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1711
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1712
will keep the same format.
1713
1714
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1715
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1716
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1717
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1718
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1719
1720
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1721
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1722
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1723
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1724
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1725
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1726
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1727
1728
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1729
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1730
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1731
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1732
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1733
1734
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1735
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1736
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1737
arrangement.
1738
1739
1740
IMPROVEMENTS:
1741
1742
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1743
convention. Paths now take the form::
1744
1745
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1746
or
1747
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1748
1749
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1750
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1751
1752
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1753
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1754
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1755
1756
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1757
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1758
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1759
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1760
1761
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1762
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1763
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1764
1765
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1766
1767
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1768
1769
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1770
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1771
commits::
1772
1773
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1774
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1775
| xargs bzr re-sign
1776
1777
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1778
1779
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1780
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1781
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1782
(Robert Collins)
1783
1784
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1785
1786
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1787
1788
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1789
'.moved'.
1790
1791
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1792
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1793
1794
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1795
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1796
Daniel Silverstone)
1797
1798
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1799
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1800
Martin Pool)
1801
1802
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1803
1804
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1805
1806
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1807
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1808
1809
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1810
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1811
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1812
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1813
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1814
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1815
1816
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1817
1818
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1819
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1820
(Robert Collins)
1821
1822
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1823
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1824
1825
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1826
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1827
1828
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1829
1830
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1831
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1832
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1833
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1834
specification by Martin Pool.
1835
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1836
1837
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1838
Belchenko)
1839
1840
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1841
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1842
1843
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1844
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1845
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1846
1847
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1848
1849
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1850
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1851
(Robert Collins)
1852
1853
CHANGES:
1854
1855
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1856
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1857
1858
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1859
1860
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1861
1862
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1863
(Olaf Conradi)
1864
1865
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1866
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1867
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1868
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1869
1870
INTERNALS:
1871
1872
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1873
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1874
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1875
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1876
1877
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1878
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1879
tried. (Martin Pool)
1880
1881
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1882
(Martin Pool)
1883
1884
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1885
1886
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1887
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1888
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1889
1890
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1891
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1892
1893
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1894
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1895
paths. (Robert Collins)
1896
1897
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
1898
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
1899
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
1900
1901
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
1902
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1903
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1904
1905
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1906
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
1907
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1908
1909
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
1910
(Olaf Conradi)
1911
1912
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
1913
(Olaf Conradi)
1914
1915
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1916
1917
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1918
1919
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
1920
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1921
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1922
(Robert Collins)
1923
1924
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
1925
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1926
1927
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1928
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1929
check. (Robert Collins)
1930
1931
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
1932
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1933
1934
TESTING:
1935
1936
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1937
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1938
1939
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
1940
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
1941
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1942
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1943
1944
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1945
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1946
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1947
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1948
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1951
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1952
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1953
1954
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1955
1956
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
1957
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1958
1959
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
1960
1961
CHANGES:
1962
1963
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1964
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1965
1966
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1967
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1968
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1969
(Johan Rydberg)
1970
1971
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
1972
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1973
1974
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
1975
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
1976
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
1977
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
1978
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1979
1980
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1981
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1982
used. (Robert Collins)
1983
1984
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1985
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1986
(James Henstridge)
1987
1988
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1989
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1990
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1991
1992
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1993
ignore list.
1994
1995
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1996
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1997
1998
IMPROVEMENTS:
1999
2000
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2001
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2002
2003
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2004
2005
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2006
2007
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2008
tree. (Robert Collins)
2009
2010
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2011
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2012
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2013
(Robert Collins)
2014
2015
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2016
that they be kept.
2017
2018
* Tweaks to short log printing
2019
2020
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2021
(Aaron Bentley)
2022
2023
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2024
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2025
2026
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2027
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2028
2029
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2030
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2031
2032
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2033
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2034
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2035
2036
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2037
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2038
2039
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2040
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2041
requests.
2042
2043
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2044
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2045
2046
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2047
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2048
2049
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2050
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2051
2052
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2053
(Denys Duchier)
2054
2055
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2056
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2057
2058
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2059
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2060
2061
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2062
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2063
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2064
2065
BUG FIXES:
2066
2067
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2068
2069
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2070
2071
* Error when run with -OO
2072
2073
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2074
(Martin Pool)
2075
2076
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2077
2078
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2079
2080
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2081
ignored by diff and status
2082
2083
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2084
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2085
2086
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2087
2088
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2089
2090
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2091
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2092
2093
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2094
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2095
2096
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2097
(Harald Meland)
2098
2099
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2100
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2101
2102
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2103
2104
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2105
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2106
2107
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2108
(Martin Pool)
2109
2110
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2111
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2112
2113
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2114
2115
TESTING:
2116
2117
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2118
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2119
2120
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2121
2122
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2123
2124
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2125
2126
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2127
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2128
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2129
2130
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2131
2132
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2133
(John Arbash Meinel)
2134
2135
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2136
2137
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2138
If adding a new test script please add that to
2139
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2140
2141
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2142
imported. (Martin Pool)
2143
2144
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2145
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2146
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2147
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2148
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2149
(Robert Collins)
2150
2151
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2152
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2153
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2154
2155
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2156
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2157
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2158
2159
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2160
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2161
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2162
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2163
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2164
(Robert Collins).
2165
2166
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2167
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2168
(Robert Collins).
2169
2170
INTERNALS:
2171
2172
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2173
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2174
2175
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2176
function. (Robert Collins)
2177
2178
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2179
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2180
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2181
2182
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2183
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2184
(Robert Collins)
2185
2186
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2187
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2188
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2189
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2190
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2191
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2192
version. (Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2195
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2196
2197
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2198
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2199
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2200
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2201
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2202
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2203
2204
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2205
(Robert Collins)
2206
2207
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2208
2209
add()
2210
commit()
2211
move()
2212
rename_one()
2213
unknowns()
2214
2215
(Robert Collins)
2216
2217
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2218
2219
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2220
2221
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2222
Pool)
2223
2224
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2225
query method. (Robert Collins)
2226
2227
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2228
(Denys Duchier)
2229
2230
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2231
(Michael Ellerman)
2232
2233
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2234
(Michael Ellerman)
2235
2236
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2237
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2238
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2239
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2240
2241
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2242
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2243
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2244
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2245
2246
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2247
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28

IMPROVEMENTS:
2252
2253
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2254
(John A Meinel)
2255
2256
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2257
conflicts.
2258
(Aaron Bentley)
2259
2260
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2261
a separator, not ':'.
2262
(Aaron Bentley)
2263
2264
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2265
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2266
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2267
2268
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2269
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2270
(Robert Collins)

2272
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2273
has been added that suppresses all output.
2274
2275
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2276
Adams.
2277
2278
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2279
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2280
2281
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2282
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2285
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2288
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2289
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2290
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2291
2292
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2293
2294
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2295
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2296
2297
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2298
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2299
2300
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2301
output directory, if one was supplied.
2302
2303
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2304
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2305
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2306
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2307
2308
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2309
2310
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2311
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2312
2313
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2314
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2315
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2316
2317
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2318
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2319
2320
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2321
(Aaron Bentley)
2322
2323
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2324
2325
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2326
2327
TESTING:
2328
2329
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2330
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2331
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2332
2333
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2334
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2335
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2336
2337
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2338
is given. (Martin Pool)
2339
2340
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2341
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2342
file. (Robert Collins)
2343
2344
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2345
(Martin Pool)
2346
2347
INTERNALS:
2348
2349
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2350
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2351
representation. (Martin Pool).
2352
2353
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2354
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2355
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2356
2357
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2358
(Robert Collins)
2359
2360
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2361
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2362
Magnus Therning.
2363
2364
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2365
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2366
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2367
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2368
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2369
2370
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2371
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2372
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2373
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2374
python path. (Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2377
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2378
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2379
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2380
2381
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2382
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2383
2384
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2385
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2386
(Robert Collins)
2387
2388
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2389
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2390
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2391
2392
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2393
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2394
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2395
2396
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2397
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2398
2399
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2400
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2401
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2402
(Robert Collins)
2403
2404
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2405
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2406
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2407
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2408
(Robert Collins)
2409
2410
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2411
(Robert Collins)
2412
2413
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2414
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2415
(Robert Collins)
2416
2417
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2418
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2419
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2420
2421
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2422
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2423
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2424
2425
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2426
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2427
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2428
2429
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2430
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2431
2432
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2433
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2434
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2435
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2436
caller. (Robert Collins)
2437
2438
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2439
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2440
(Robert Collins).
2441
2442
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2443
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2444
(Aaron Bentley)
2445
2446
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2447
2448
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2449
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2450
2451
BUG FIXES:
2452
2453
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2454
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2455
2456
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2457
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2458
2459
2460
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2461
2462
BUG FIXES:
2463
2464
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2465
allow directories to be listed.
2466
2467
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2468
upgrading branch format.
2469
2470
PERFORMANCE:
2471
2472
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2473
2474
2475
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2476
2477
NOTES:
2478
2479
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2480
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2481
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2482
high-latency connections.
2483
2484
BUG FIXES:
2485
2486
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2487
Rob Weir.
2488
2489
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2490
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2491
2492
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2493
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2494
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2495
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2496
2497
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2498
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2499
2500
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2501
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2502
2503
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2504
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2505
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2506
2507
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2508
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2509
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2510
Robert Collins
2511
2512
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2513
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2514
2515
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2516
different partial views of history.
2517
2518
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2519
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2520
2521
IMPROVEMENTS:
2522
2523
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2524
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2525
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2526
2527
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2528
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2529
'bzr upgrade'.
2530
2531
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2532
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2533
2534
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2535
Niemeyer.
2536
2537
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2538
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2539
2540
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2541
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2542
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2543
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2544
2545
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2546
2547
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2548
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2549
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2550
2551
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2552
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2553
2554
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2555
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2556
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2557
2558
2559
INTERNALS:
2560
2561
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2562
for your viewing pleasure.
2563
2564
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2565
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2566
2567
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2568
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2569
handling of such circumstances.
2570
2571
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2572
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2573
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2574
2575
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2576
2577
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2578
we call them revisions not patches.
2579
2580
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2581
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2582
2583
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2584
giving the revision *of that file*.
2585
2586
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2587
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2588
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2589
2590
TESTING:
2591
2592
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2593
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2594
2595
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2596
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2597
2598
2599
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2600
2601
BUG FIXES:
2602
2603
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2604
2605
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2606
(Robert Collins).
2607
2608
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2609
2610
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2611
2612
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2613
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2614
2615
IMPROVEMENTS:
2616
2617
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2618
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2619
2620
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2621
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2622
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2623
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2624
Robey Pointer
2625
2626
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2627
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2628
2629
INTERNALS:
2630
2631
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2632
2633
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2634
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2635
2636
2637
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2638
2639
IMPROVEMENTS:
2640
2641
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2642
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2643
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2644
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2645
Michael Ellerman.
2646
2647
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2648
(Nir Soffer)
2649
2650
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2651
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2652
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2653
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2654
for the operating system is still tried.
2655
2656
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2657
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2658
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2659
2660
2661
INTERNALS:
2662
2663
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2664
2665
BUG FIXES:
2666
2667
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2668
2669
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2670
branch.
2671
2672
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2673
read.
2674
2675
2676
PORTABILITY:
2677
2678
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2679
2680
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2681
2682
2683
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2684
2685
NEW FEATURES:
2686
2687
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2688
help with intelligent shell completion.
2689
2690
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2691
2692
2693
ENHANCEMENTS:
2694
2695
* Much better merge support.
2696
2697
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2698
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2699
like emacs smerge.
2700
2701
2702
BUG FIXES:
2703
2704
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2705
mention revisions that are not present.
2706
2707
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2708
2709
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2710
2711
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2712
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2713
2714
2715
CHANGES:
2716
2717
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2718
2719
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2720
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2721
--help themselves.
2722
2723
2724
LIBRARY:
2725
2726
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2727
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2728
libraries.
2729
2730
2731
2732
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2733
2734
NEW FEATURES:
2735
2736
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2737
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2738
2739
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2740
2741
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2742
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2743
2744
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2745
FOO.
2746
2747
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2748
2749
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2750
the Unix command.
2751
2752
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2753
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2754
2755
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2756
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2757
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2758
2759
2760
ENHANCEMENTS:
2761
2762
* Faster working tree operations.
2763
2764
2765
CHANGES:
2766
2767
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2768
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2769
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2770
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2771
2772
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2773
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2774
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2775
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2776
standard plugins directory.
2777
2778
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2779
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2780
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2781
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2782
2783
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2784
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2785
2786
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2787
disk.
2788
2789
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2790
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2791
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2792
2793
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2794
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2795
2796
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2797
line options must come before the command name because they
2798
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2799
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2800
it.
2801
2802
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2803
2804
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2805
is available with ``--short``.
2806
2807
2808
BUG FIXES:
2809
2810
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2814
2815
CHANGES:
2816
2817
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2818
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2819
2820
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2821
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2822
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2823
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2824
2825
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2826
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2827
with the ``--forward`` option.
2828
2829
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2830
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2831
field.
2832
2833
2834
ENHANCEMENTS:
2835
2836
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2837
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2838
2839
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2840
2841
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2842
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2843
2844
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2845
2846
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2847
either read or write mode.
2848
2849
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2850
2851
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2852
affected that file.
2853
2854
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2855
2856
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2857
suggested by LarstiQ.
2858
2859
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2860
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2861
2862
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2863
a filename.
2864
2865
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2866
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2867
2868
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2869
haven't changed since the previous time.
2870
2871
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2872
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2873
2874
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2875
2876
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2877
2878
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2879
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2880
2881
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2882
options through to an external GNU diff.
2883
2884
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2885
their contents.
2886
2887
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2888
from a branch.
2889
2890
2891
BUG FIXES:
2892
2893
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2894
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2895
2896
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2897
metacharacters.
2898
2899
2900
TESTING:
2901
2902
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2903
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2904
the tests.
2905
2906
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2907
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2908
2909
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2910
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2911
2912
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2913
under a different version.
2914
2915
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2916
2917
2918
INTERNAL:
2919
2920
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2921
2922
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2923
Scott James Remnant.
2924
2925
* Better help messages for many commands.
2926
2927
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
2928
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2929
2930
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
2931
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2932
2933
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
2934
2935
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
2936
2937
* New AtomicFile class.
2938
2939
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2940
2941
2942
PORTABILITY:
2943
2944
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2945
2.4 is now only recommended.
2946
2947
2948
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2949
2950
ENHANCEMENTS:
2951
2952
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2953
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2954
2955
* More default ignore patterns.
2956
2957
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2958
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2959
2960
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2961
2962
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2963
by Jason Diamon.
2964
2965
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2966
2967
2968
CHANGES:
2969
2970
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2971
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2972
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2973
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2974
there are DNS problems.
2975
2976
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2977
2978
2979
BUG FIXES:
2980
2981
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2982
2983
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2984
2985
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
2986
trailing newlines properly.
2987
2988
2989
INTERNAL:
2990
2991
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2992
Matt Brubeck.
2993
2994
* More tests in test.sh.
2995
2996
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2997
directory and delete it when done.
2998
2999
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3000
3001
3002
PORTABILITY:
3003
3004
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3005
Bennetts.
3006
3007
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3008
from QuantumG.

3016
in the tree.
3017
3018

3019
3020
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3021
and/or directory.
3022
3023
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3024
directory.
3025
3026
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3027
3028
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3029
3030
CHANGES:
3031
3032
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3033
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3034
will do for now.)
3035
3036
PORTABILITY:
3037
3038
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3039
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3040
Nielsen.
3041
3042
INTERNAL:
3043
3044
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

3059
3060
ENHANCEMENTS:
3061
3062
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3063
3064
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3065
rather than replacing it.
3066
3067
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3068
3069
* More help topics.
3070
3071
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3072
branch.
3073
3074
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3075
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3076
3077
* Performance improvements.
3078
3079
* New global --profile option.
3080
3081
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3082
the root directory only.
3083
3084

3105
installation easier.
3106
3107

3108
supported).
3109
