bzr 0.15 (not finalised)
7
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
8
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
9
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
13
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
16
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
17
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
19
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
20
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
22
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
23
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
24
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
27
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
31
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
32
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
33
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
37
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
38
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
40
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
41
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
43
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
45
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
46
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
48
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
49
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
53
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
58
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
59
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
60
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
61
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
63
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
64
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
66
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
67
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
69
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
72
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
73
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
76
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
80
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
81
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
82
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
83
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
84
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
85
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
87
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
88
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
89
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
90
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
91
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
92
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
93
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
95
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
96
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
97
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
98
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
99
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
100
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
101
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
102
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
106
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
107
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
109
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
110
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
111
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
112
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
114
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
115
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
116
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
117
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
118
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
120
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
123
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
126
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
129
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
130
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
133
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
136
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
137
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
139
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
140
directory. (Martin Pool)
142
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
143
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
144
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
145
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
147
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
148
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
149
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
150
in docs/configuration.txt.
152
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
153
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
156
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
157
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
158
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
159
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
160
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
161
repositories. (Martin Pool)
163
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
164
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
166
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
167
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
169
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
174
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
175
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
176
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
177
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
178
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
181
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
182
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
185
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
186
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
189
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
190
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
191
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
192
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
193
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
195
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
196
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
197
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
199
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
200
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
201
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
202
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
204
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
206
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
207
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
208
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
209
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
211
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
212
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
213
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
214
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
216
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
217
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
218
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
220
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
221
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
222
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
224
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
225
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
226
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
227
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
229
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
230
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
231
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
233
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
234
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
235
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
237
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
238
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
239
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
240
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
241
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
242
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
243
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
244
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
245
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
246
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
247
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
251
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
252
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
253
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
255
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
258
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
259
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
260
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
261
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
263
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
264
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
267
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
268
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
270
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
272
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
273
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
275
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
276
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
278
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
281
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
284
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
285
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
287
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
289
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
290
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
294
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
295
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
302
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
306
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
307
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
308
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
310
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
311
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
312
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
315
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
319
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
320
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
321
server, then you can write over the http connection.
322
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
324
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
327
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
328
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
329
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
331
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
332
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
334
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
337
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
338
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
339
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
340
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
341
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
342
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
344
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
345
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
346
should enable you to do::
349
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
350
push_location:policy = appendpath
352
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
353
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
356
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
357
for each file. For example::
365
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
366
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
368
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
370
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
371
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
373
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
377
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
378
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
379
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
380
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
382
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
383
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
384
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
386
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
388
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
389
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
390
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
391
(Alexander Belchenko)
393
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
396
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
397
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
399
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
403
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
404
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
406
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
407
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
408
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
409
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
410
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
412
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
413
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
415
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
416
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
418
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
420
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
422
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
423
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
424
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
425
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
426
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
428
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
429
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
430
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
431
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
433
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
434
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
436
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
437
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
439
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
440
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
442
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
443
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
448
No changes from 0.13rc1
450
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
454
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
458
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
459
operations are substantially faster.
460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
462
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
463
tree from some other url. For example:
464
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
467
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
468
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
469
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
470
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
472
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
475
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
476
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
477
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
478
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
479
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
480
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
484
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
485
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
488
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
489
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
492
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
493
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
494
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
497
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
498
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
500
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
501
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
506
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
507
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
510
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
511
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
512
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
513
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
515
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
517
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
518
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
520
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
521
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
522
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
523
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
525
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
526
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
527
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
529
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
530
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
531
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
534
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
535
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
537
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
539
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
540
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
542
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
543
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
545
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
546
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
547
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
548
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
550
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
551
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
552
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
554
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
555
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
557
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
558
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
559
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
560
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
561
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
565
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
566
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
572
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
573
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
576
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
580
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
581
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
582
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
583
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
585
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
586
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
588
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
590
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
591
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
592
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
593
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
595
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
596
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
597
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
598
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
603
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
604
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
608
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
609
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
610
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
612
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
613
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
616
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
617
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
618
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
620
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
621
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
624
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
625
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
626
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
628
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
629
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
630
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
631
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
632
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
633
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
635
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
636
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
637
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
640
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
641
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
645
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
646
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
647
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
650
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
651
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
653
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
654
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
655
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
657
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
658
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
660
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
661
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
662
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
663
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
665
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
666
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
668
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
669
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
670
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
672
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
673
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
675
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
677
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
678
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
683
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
684
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
685
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
686
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
688
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
689
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
690
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
694
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
696
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
700
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
702
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
705
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
709
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
710
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
711
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
712
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
713
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
714
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
715
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
717
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
718
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
719
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
721
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
723
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
724
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
726
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
727
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
728
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
731
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
732
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
733
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
736
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
737
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
738
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
739
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
742
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
743
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
744
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
749
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
750
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
752
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
754
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
755
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
756
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
758
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
759
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
761
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
762
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
764
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
767
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
768
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
770
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
772
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
773
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
775
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
776
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
778
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
779
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
781
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
784
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
785
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
786
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
788
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
789
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
791
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
792
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
793
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
794
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
796
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
797
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
798
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
800
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
801
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
805
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
809
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
810
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
813
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
814
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
815
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
816
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
818
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
821
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
822
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
823
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
825
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
826
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
828
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
829
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
830
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
832
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
833
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
834
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
835
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
836
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
837
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
838
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
839
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
842
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
843
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
845
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
846
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
848
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
849
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
850
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
851
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
852
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
853
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
854
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
856
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
857
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
858
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
859
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
860
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
861
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
862
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
863
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
866
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
867
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
868
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
870
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
871
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
873
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
874
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
876
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
877
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
881
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
882
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
884
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
885
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
888
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
889
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
890
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
895
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
896
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
898
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
899
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
900
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
901
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
902
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
904
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
905
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
906
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
908
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
909
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
911
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
912
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
913
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
917
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
919
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
920
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
921
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
923
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
925
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
927
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
928
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
929
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
930
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
932
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
933
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
934
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
935
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
936
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
938
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
939
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
941
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
942
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
944
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
945
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
947
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
948
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
951
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
952
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
956
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
957
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
958
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
959
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
962
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
963
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
964
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
970
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
971
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
972
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
973
specific one '.bzrignore'.
974
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
975
a more conservative list than the old default.
976
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
977
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
978
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
979
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
981
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
982
to more locations than just branch locations.
987
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
988
revno:N:branch. For example,
989
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
990
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
992
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
993
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
994
the path of a file that has been versioned.
995
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
996
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
997
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
998
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
999
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1002
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1003
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1004
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1007
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1008
(Alexander Belchenko)
1010
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1012
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1015
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1016
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1017
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1018
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1019
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1020
(John Arbash Meinel)
1022
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1023
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1024
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1025
grained analysis of performance.
1026
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1028
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1029
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1031
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1032
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1033
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1034
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1035
file. (Robert Collins).
1037
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1038
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1039
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1041
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1042
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1045
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1046
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1048
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1049
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1050
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1051
the same way you would apply another branch.
1052
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1054
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1055
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1057
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1060
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1063
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1064
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1065
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1067
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1068
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1069
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1071
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1072
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1074
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1075
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1076
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1077
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1078
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1080
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1081
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1083
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1084
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1085
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1086
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1087
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1088
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1089
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1090
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1092
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1093
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1094
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1098
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1099
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1102
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1103
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1105
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1106
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1108
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1109
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1111
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1113
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1114
(John Arbash Meinel)
1116
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1117
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1119
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1120
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1123
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1124
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1126
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1127
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1129
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1130
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1131
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1132
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1134
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1135
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1137
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1139
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1140
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1142
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1144
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1146
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1147
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1149
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1150
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1152
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1153
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1154
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1156
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1157
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1158
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1160
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1161
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1163
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1164
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1166
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1167
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1169
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1170
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1172
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1173
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1175
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1176
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1177
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1179
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1181
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1182
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1186
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1187
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1188
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1190
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1191
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1193
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1194
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1195
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1197
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1198
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1200
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1201
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1204
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1205
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1206
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1208
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1209
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1210
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1212
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1213
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1214
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1216
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1217
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1218
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1220
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1221
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1222
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1224
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1225
instead. (Robert Collins)
1227
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1229
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1233
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1235
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1239
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1240
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1242
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1243
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1245
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1246
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1247
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1251
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1253
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1254
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1256
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1260
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1261
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1262
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1263
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1267
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1268
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1269
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1273
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1274
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1275
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1279
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1280
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1284
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1286
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1287
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1288
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1289
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1290
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1291
will keep the same format.
1293
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1294
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1295
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1296
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1297
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1299
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1300
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1301
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1302
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1303
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1304
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1305
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1307
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1308
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1309
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1310
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1311
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1313
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1314
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1315
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1321
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1322
convention. Paths now take the form:
1323
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1325
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1327
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1328
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1330
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1331
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1332
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1334
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1335
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1336
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1337
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1339
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1340
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1343
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1345
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1347
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1348
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1351
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1352
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1355
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1357
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1358
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1359
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1362
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1364
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1366
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1369
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1370
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1372
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1373
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1376
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1377
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1380
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1382
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1384
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1385
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1387
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1388
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1389
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1390
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1391
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1392
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1394
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1396
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1397
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1400
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1401
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1403
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1404
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1406
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1408
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1409
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1410
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1411
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1412
specification by Martin Pool.
1413
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1415
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1418
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1419
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1421
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1422
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1423
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1425
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1427
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1428
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1433
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1434
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1436
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1438
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1440
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1443
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1444
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1445
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1446
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1450
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1451
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1452
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1453
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1455
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1456
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1457
tried. (Martin Pool)
1459
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1462
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1464
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1465
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1466
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1468
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1469
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1471
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1472
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1473
paths. (Robert Collins)
1475
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1476
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1477
needs. (Robert Collins)
1479
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1480
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1481
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1483
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1484
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1486
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1489
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1492
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1494
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1496
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1497
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1498
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1501
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1502
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1504
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1505
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1506
check. (Robert Collins)
1508
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1509
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1513
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1514
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1516
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1517
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1518
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1519
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1521
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1522
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1523
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1524
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1525
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1527
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1528
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1529
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1531
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1533
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1534
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1540
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1541
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1543
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1544
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1545
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1548
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1549
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1551
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1552
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1553
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1554
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1555
(John Arbash Meinel)
1557
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1558
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1559
used. (Robert Collins)
1561
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1562
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1565
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1566
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1567
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1569
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1572
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1573
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1577
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1578
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1580
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1582
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1584
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1585
tree. (Robert Collins)
1587
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1588
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1589
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1592
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1595
* Tweaks to short log printing
1597
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1600
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1601
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1603
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1604
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1606
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1607
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1609
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1610
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1611
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1613
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1614
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1616
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1617
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1620
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1621
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1623
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1624
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1626
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1627
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1629
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1632
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1633
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1635
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1636
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1638
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1639
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1640
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1644
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1646
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1648
* Error when run with -OO
1650
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1653
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1655
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1657
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1658
ignored by diff and status
1660
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1661
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1663
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1665
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1667
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1668
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1670
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1671
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1673
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1676
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1677
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1679
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1681
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1682
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1684
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1687
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1690
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1694
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1695
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1697
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1699
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1701
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1703
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1704
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1705
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1707
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1709
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1710
(John Arbash Meinel)
1712
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1714
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1715
If adding a new test script please add that to
1716
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1718
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1719
imported. (Martin Pool)
1721
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1722
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1723
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1724
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1725
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1728
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1729
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1730
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1732
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1733
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1734
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1736
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1737
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1738
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1739
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1740
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1743
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1744
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1749
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1750
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1752
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1753
function. (Robert Collins)
1755
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1756
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1757
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1759
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1760
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1762
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1763
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1764
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1765
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1766
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1767
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1768
version. (Robert Collins)
1770
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1771
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1773
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1774
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1775
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1776
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1777
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1778
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1780
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1783
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1791
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1793
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1795
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1798
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1799
query method. (Robert Collins)
1801
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1804
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1807
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1811
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1812
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1813
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1814
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1816
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1817
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1818
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1819
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1821
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1822
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1828
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1831
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1835
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1836
a separator, not ':'.
1839
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1840
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1841
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1843
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1844
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1847
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1848
has been added that suppresses all output.
1850
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1853
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1854
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1856
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1857
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1859
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1860
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1862
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1863
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1864
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1865
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1867
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1869
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1870
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1872
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1873
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1875
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1876
output directory, if one was supplied.
1878
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1879
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1880
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1881
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1883
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1885
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1886
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1888
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1889
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1890
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1892
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1893
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1895
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1898
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1900
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1904
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1905
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1906
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1908
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1909
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1910
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1912
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1913
is given. (Martin Pool)
1915
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1916
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1917
file. (Robert Collins)
1919
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1924
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1925
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1926
representation. (Martin Pool).
1928
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1929
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1930
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1932
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1935
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1936
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1939
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1940
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1941
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1942
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1943
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1945
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1946
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1947
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1948
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1949
python path. (Robert Collins)
1951
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1952
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1953
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1954
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1956
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1957
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1959
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1960
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1963
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1964
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1965
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1967
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1968
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1969
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1971
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1972
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1974
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1975
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1976
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1979
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1980
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1981
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1982
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1985
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1988
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1989
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1992
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1993
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1994
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1996
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1997
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1998
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2000
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2001
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2002
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2004
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2005
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2007
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2008
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2009
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2010
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2011
caller. (Robert Collins)
2013
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2014
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2017
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2018
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2020
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2022
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2023
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2027
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2028
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2030
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2031
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2034
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2038
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2039
allow directories to be listed.
2041
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2042
upgrading branch format.
2046
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2053
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2054
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2055
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2056
high-latency connections.
2060
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2063
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2064
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2066
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2067
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2068
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2069
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2071
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2072
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2074
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2075
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2077
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2078
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2079
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2081
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2082
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2083
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2086
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2087
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2089
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2090
different partial views of history.
2092
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2093
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2097
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2098
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2099
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2101
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2102
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2105
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2106
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2108
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2111
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2112
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2114
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2115
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2116
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2117
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2119
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2121
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2122
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2125
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2126
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2128
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2129
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2130
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2135
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2136
for your viewing pleasure.
2138
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2139
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2141
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2142
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2143
handling of such circumstances.
2148
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2149
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2151
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2152
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2155
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2159
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2161
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2164
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2166
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2168
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2169
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2173
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2174
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2176
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2177
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2178
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2179
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2182
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2183
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2187
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2189
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2190
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2193
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2197
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2198
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2199
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2200
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2203
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2206
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2207
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2208
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2209
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2210
for the operating system is still tried.
2212
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2213
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2214
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2219
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2223
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2225
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2228
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2234
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2236
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2239
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2243
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2244
help with intelligent shell completion.
2246
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2251
* Much better merge support.
2253
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2254
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2260
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2261
mention revisions that are not present.
2263
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2265
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2267
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2268
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2273
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2275
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2276
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2282
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2283
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2288
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2292
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2293
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2295
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2297
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2298
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2300
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2303
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2305
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2308
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2309
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2311
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2312
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2313
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2318
* Faster working tree operations.
2323
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2324
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2325
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2326
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2328
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2329
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2330
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2331
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2332
standard plugins directory.
2334
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2335
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2336
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2337
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2339
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2340
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2342
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2345
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2346
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2347
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2349
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2350
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2352
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2353
line options must come before the command name because they
2354
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2355
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2358
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2360
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2361
is available with ``--short``.
2366
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2369
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2373
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2374
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2376
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2377
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2378
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2379
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2381
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse

2386
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second

2393
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.

2398
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2400
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.

2405
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2407
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2410
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2412
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2413
suggested by LarstiQ.
2415
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2416
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2418
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2421
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2422
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2424
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2425
haven't changed since the previous time.
2427
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2428
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.

* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2432
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2434

2443
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2449

2450
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2452
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2458
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2459
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2462
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2463
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2465
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2466
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2468
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2469
under a different version.

2487
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.

2491
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.

2.4 is now only recommended.
2504
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2508
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2509
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2511
* More default ignore patterns.
2513
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2514
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2516

2563
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

2584
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2588

2595
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro

'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
2633
* Performance improvements.
2635
* New global --profile option.
2637

2638
the root directory only.
