5
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
8
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the default log
9
formatter. (Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
13
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
14
code paths. (Robert Collins)
16
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
17
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
18
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
19
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
20
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
22
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
23
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
26
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
28
* Convenience method TestCase.expectFailure ensures that known failures
29
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
31
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
32
in bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks. The two initial hooks allow
33
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
36
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
37
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
38
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
39
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
40
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
45
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
46
(#98510, Ian Clatworthy)
48
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
49
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
51
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
52
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.
55
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
60
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
61
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
62
in running it. (Robert Collins)
64
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
65
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
67
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
68
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
69
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
70
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
71
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
72
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
73
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
74
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
76
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
77
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
78
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
80
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
81
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
82
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
83
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
84
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
86
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
93
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
96
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
97
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
100
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
104
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
105
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
110
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
111
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
112
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
113
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
114
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
115
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
116
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
117
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
122
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
123
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
124
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
126
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
127
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
130
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
131
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
134
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
135
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
136
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
137
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
138
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
142
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
145
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
146
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
148
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
149
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
151
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
152
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
153
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
155
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
156
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
158
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
159
last-changed-revision for directories. The
160
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
161
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
162
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
164
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
165
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
166
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
168
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
172
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
174
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
176
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
177
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
178
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
182
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
183
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
185
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
186
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
188
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
190
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
191
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
193
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
194
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
198
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
203
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
204
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
205
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
206
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
208
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
209
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
211
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
212
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
214
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
217
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
218
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
221
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
225
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
226
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
227
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
228
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
229
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
230
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
232
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
233
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
234
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
235
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
236
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
237
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
238
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
240
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
241
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
242
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
243
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
244
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
245
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
246
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
247
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
251
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
252
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
254
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
255
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
256
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
257
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
259
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
260
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
261
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
262
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
263
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
265
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
268
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
271
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
274
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
275
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
278
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
281
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
282
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
284
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
285
directory. (Martin Pool)
287
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
288
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
289
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
290
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
292
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
293
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
294
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
295
in docs/configuration.txt.
297
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
298
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
301
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
302
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
303
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
304
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
305
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
306
repositories. (Martin Pool)
308
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
309
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
311
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
312
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
314
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
319
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
320
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
321
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
322
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
323
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
326
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
327
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
330
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
331
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
334
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
335
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
336
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
337
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
338
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
340
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
341
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
342
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
344
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
345
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
346
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
347
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
349
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
351
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
352
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
353
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
354
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
356
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
357
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
358
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
359
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
361
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
362
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
363
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
365
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
366
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
367
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
369
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
370
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
371
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
372
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
374
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
375
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
376
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
378
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
379
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
380
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
382
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
383
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
384
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
385
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
386
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
387
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
388
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
389
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
390
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
391
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
392
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
396
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
397
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
398
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
400
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
403
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
404
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
405
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
406
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
408
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
409
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
412
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
413
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
415
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
417
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
418
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
420
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
421
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
423
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
426
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
429
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
430
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
432
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
434
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
435
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
439
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
440
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
447
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
451
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
452
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
453
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
455
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
456
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
457
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
460
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
464
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
465
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
466
server, then you can write over the http connection.
467
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
469
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
472
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
473
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
474
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
476
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
477
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
479
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
482
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
483
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
484
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
485
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
486
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
487
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
489
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
490
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
491
should enable you to do::
494
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
495
push_location:policy = appendpath
497
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
498
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
501
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
502
for each file. For example::
510
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
511
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
513
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
515
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
516
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
518
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
522
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
523
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
524
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
525
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
527
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
528
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
529
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
531
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
533
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
534
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
535
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
536
(Alexander Belchenko)
538
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
541
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
542
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
544
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
548
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
549
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
551
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
552
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
553
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
554
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
555
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
557
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
558
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
560
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
561
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
563
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
565
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
567
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
568
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
569
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
570
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
571
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
573
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
574
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
575
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
576
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
578
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
579
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
581
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
582
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
584
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
585
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
587
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
588
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
593
No changes from 0.13rc1
595
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
599
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
603
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
604
operations are substantially faster.
605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
607
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
608
tree from some other url. For example:
609
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
612
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
613
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
614
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
615
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
617
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
620
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
621
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
622
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
623
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
624
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
625
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
629
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
630
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
633
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
634
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
637
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
638
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
639
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
642
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
643
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
645
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
646
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
651
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
652
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
655
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
656
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
657
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
658
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
660
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
662
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
663
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
665
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
666
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
667
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
670
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
671
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
672
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
674
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
675
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
676
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
679
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
680
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
682
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
684
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
685
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
687
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
688
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
690
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
691
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
692
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
693
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
695
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
696
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
697
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
699
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
700
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
702
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
703
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
704
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
705
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
706
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
710
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
711
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
717
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
718
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
721
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
725
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
726
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
727
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
728
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
730
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
731
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
733
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
735
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
736
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
737
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
738
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
740
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
741
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
742
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
743
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
748
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
749
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
753
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
754
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
755
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
757
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
758
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
761
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
762
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
763
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
765
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
766
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
769
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
770
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
771
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
773
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
774
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
775
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
776
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
777
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
778
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
780
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
781
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
782
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
785
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
786
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
790
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
791
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
792
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
795
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
796
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
798
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
799
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
800
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
802
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
803
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
805
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
806
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
807
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
808
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
810
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
811
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
813
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
814
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
815
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
817
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
818
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
820
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
822
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
823
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
828
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
829
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
830
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
831
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
833
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
834
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
835
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
839
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
841
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
845
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
847
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
850
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
854
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
855
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
856
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
857
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
858
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
859
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
860
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
862
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
863
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
864
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
866
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
868
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
869
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
871
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
872
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
873
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
876
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
877
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
878
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
881
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
882
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
883
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
884
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
887
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
888
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
889
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
894
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
895
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
897
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
899
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
900
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
901
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
903
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
904
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
906
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
907
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
909
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
910
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
912
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
913
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
915
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
917
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
918
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
920
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
921
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
923
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
924
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
926
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
929
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
930
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
931
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
933
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
934
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
936
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
937
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
938
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
939
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
941
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
942
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
943
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
945
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
946
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
950
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
954
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
955
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
958
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
959
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
960
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
961
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
963
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
966
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
967
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
968
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
970
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
971
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
973
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
974
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
975
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
977
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
978
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
979
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
980
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
981
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
982
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
983
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
984
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
987
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
988
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
990
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
991
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
993
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
994
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
995
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
996
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
997
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
998
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
999
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1001
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1002
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1003
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1004
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1005
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1006
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1007
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1008
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1011
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1012
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1013
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1015
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1016
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1018
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
1019
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1021
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1022
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1026
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1027
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1029
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
1030
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
1033
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1034
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1035
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1040
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1041
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1043
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1044
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1045
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
1046
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1047
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1049
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1050
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1051
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1053
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1054
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1056
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1057
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1058
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1062
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1064
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1065
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1066
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1068
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1070
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1072
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1073
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1074
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1075
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1077
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1078
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1079
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1080
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1081
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1083
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1084
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1086
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1087
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1089
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1090
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1092
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1093
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
1096
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1097
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1101
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1102
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1103
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1104
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1105
(John Arbash Meinel)
1107
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1108
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1109
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1111
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1115
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1116
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1117
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1118
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1119
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1120
a more conservative list than the old default.
1121
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1122
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1123
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1124
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1126
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1127
to more locations than just branch locations.
1132
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1133
revno:N:branch. For example,
1134
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1135
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1137
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1138
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1139
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1140
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1141
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1142
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1143
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1144
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1147
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1148
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1149
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1152
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1153
(Alexander Belchenko)
1155
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1157
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1160
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1161
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1162
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1163
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1164
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1165
(John Arbash Meinel)
1167
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1168
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1169
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1170
grained analysis of performance.
1171
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1173
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1174
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1176
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1177
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1178
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1179
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1180
file. (Robert Collins).
1182
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1183
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1184
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1186
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1187
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1190
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1191
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1193
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1194
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1195
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1196
the same way you would apply another branch.
1197
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1199
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1200
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1202
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1205
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1208
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1209
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1210
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1212
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1213
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1214
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1216
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1217
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1219
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1220
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1221
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1222
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1223
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1225
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1226
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1228
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1229
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1230
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1231
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1232
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1233
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1234
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1235
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1237
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1238
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1239
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1243
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1244
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1247
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1248
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1250
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1251
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1253
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1254
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1256
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1258
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1259
(John Arbash Meinel)
1261
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1262
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1264
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1265
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1268
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1269
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1271
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1272
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1274
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1275
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1276
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1277
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1279
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1280
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1282
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1284
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1285
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1287
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1289
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1291
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1292
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1294
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1295
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1297
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1298
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1299
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1301
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1302
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1303
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1305
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1306
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1308
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1309
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1311
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1312
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1314
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1315
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1317
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1318
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1320
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1321
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1322
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1324
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1326
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1327
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1331
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1332
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1333
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1335
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1336
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1338
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1339
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1340
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1342
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1343
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1345
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1346
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1349
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1350
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1351
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1353
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1354
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1355
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1357
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1358
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1359
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1361
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1362
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1363
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1365
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1366
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1367
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1369
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1370
instead. (Robert Collins)
1372
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1374
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1378
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1380
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1384
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1385
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1387
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1388
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1390
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1391
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1392
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1396
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1398
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1399
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1401
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1405
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1406
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1407
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1408
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1412
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1413
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1414
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1418
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1419
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1420
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1424
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1425
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1429
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1431
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1432
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1433
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1434
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1435
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1436
will keep the same format.
1438
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1439
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1440
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1441
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1442
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1444
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1445
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1446
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1447
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1448
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1449
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1450
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1452
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1453
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1454
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1455
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1456
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1458
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1459
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1460
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1466
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1467
convention. Paths now take the form:
1468
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1470
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1472
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1473
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1475
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1476
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1477
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1479
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1480
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1481
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1482
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1484
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1485
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1488
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1490
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1492
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1493
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1496
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1497
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1500
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1502
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1503
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1504
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1507
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1509
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1511
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1514
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1515
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1517
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1518
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1521
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1522
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1525
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1527
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1529
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1530
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1532
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1533
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1534
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1535
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1536
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1537
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1539
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1541
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1542
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1545
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1546
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1548
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1549
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1551
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1553
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1554
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1555
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1556
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1557
specification by Martin Pool.
1558
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1560
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1563
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1564
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1566
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1567
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1568
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1570
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1572
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1573
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1578
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1579
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1581
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1583
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1585
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1588
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1589
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1590
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1591
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1595
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1596
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1597
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1598
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1600
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1601
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1602
tried. (Martin Pool)
1604
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1607
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1609
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1610
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1611
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1613
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1614
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1616
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1617
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1618
paths. (Robert Collins)
1620
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1621
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1622
needs. (Robert Collins)
1624
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1625
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1626
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1628
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1629
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1631
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1634
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1637
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1639
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1641
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1642
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1643
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1646
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1647
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1649
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1650
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1651
check. (Robert Collins)
1653
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1654
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1658
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1659
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1661
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1662
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1663
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1664
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1666
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1667
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1668
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1669
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1670
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1672
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1673
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1674
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1676
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1678
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1679
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1685
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1686
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1688
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1689
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1690
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1693
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1694
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1696
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1697
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1698
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1699
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1700
(John Arbash Meinel)
1702
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1703
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1704
used. (Robert Collins)
1706
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1707
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1710
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1711
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1712
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1714
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1717
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1718
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1722
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1723
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1725
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1727
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1729
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1730
tree. (Robert Collins)
1732
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1733
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1734
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1737
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1740
* Tweaks to short log printing
1742
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1745
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1746
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1748
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1749
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1751
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1752
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1754
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1755
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1756
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1758
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1759
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1761
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1762
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1765
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1766
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1768
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1769
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1771
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1772
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1774
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1777
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1778
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1780
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1781
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1783
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1784
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1785
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1789
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1791
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1793
* Error when run with -OO
1795
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1798
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1800
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1802
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1803
ignored by diff and status
1805
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1806
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1808
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1810
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1812
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1813
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1815
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1816
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1818
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1821
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1822
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1824
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1826
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1827
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1829
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1832
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1835
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1839
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1840
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1842
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1844
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1846
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1848
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1849
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1850
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1852
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1854
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1855
(John Arbash Meinel)
1857
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1859
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1860
If adding a new test script please add that to
1861
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1863
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1864
imported. (Martin Pool)
1866
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1867
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1868
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1869
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1870
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1873
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1874
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1875
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1877
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1878
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1879
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1881
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1882
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1883
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1884
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1885
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1888
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1889
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1894
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1895
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1897
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1898
function. (Robert Collins)
1900
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1901
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1902
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1904
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1905
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1907
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1908
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1909
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1910
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1911
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1912
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1913
version. (Robert Collins)
1915
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1916
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1918
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1919
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1920
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1921
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1922
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1923
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1925
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1928
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1936
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1938
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1940
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1943
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1944
query method. (Robert Collins)
1946
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1949
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1952
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1956
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1957
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1958
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1959
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1961
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1962
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1963
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1964
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1966
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1967
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1973
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1976
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1980
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1981
a separator, not ':'.
1984
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1985
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1986
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1988
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1989
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1992
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1993
has been added that suppresses all output.
1995
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1998
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1999
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2001
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2002
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2004
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2005
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2007
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
2008
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
2009
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2010
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2012
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2014
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2015
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2017
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2018
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2020
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2021
output directory, if one was supplied.
2023
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
2024
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2025
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
2026
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2028
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2030
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2031
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2033
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2034
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2035
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2037
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2038
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2040
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2043
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2045
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2049
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2050
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2051
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2053
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2054
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2055
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2057
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2058
is given. (Martin Pool)
2060
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2061
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2062
file. (Robert Collins)
2064
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2069
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2070
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2071
representation. (Martin Pool).
2073
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2074
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2075
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2077
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2080
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2081
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2084
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2085
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2086
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2087
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2088
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2090
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2091
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2092
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
2093
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2094
python path. (Robert Collins)
2096
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2097
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2098
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2099
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2101
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2102
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2104
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2105
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2108
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2109
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2110
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2112
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2113
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2114
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2116
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2117
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2119
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2120
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2121
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2124
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2125
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2126
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2127
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2130
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2133
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2134
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2137
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2138
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2139
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2141
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2142
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2143
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2145
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2146
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2147
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2149
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2150
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2152
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2153
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2154
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2155
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2156
caller. (Robert Collins)
2158
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2159
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2162
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2163
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2165
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2167
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2168
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2172
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2173
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2175
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2176
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2179
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2183
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2184
allow directories to be listed.
2186
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2187
upgrading branch format.
2191
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2198
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2199
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2200
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2201
high-latency connections.
2205
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2208
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2209
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2211
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2212
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2213
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2214
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2216
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2217
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2219
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2220
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2222
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2223
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2224
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2226
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2227
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2228
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2231
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2232
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2234
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2235
different partial views of history.
2237
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2238
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2242
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2243
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2244
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2246
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2247
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2250
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2251
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2253
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2256
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2257
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2259
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2260
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2261
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2262
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2264
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2266
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2267
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2270
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2271
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2273
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2274
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2275
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2280
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2281
for your viewing pleasure.
2283
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2284
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2286
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2287
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2288
handling of such circumstances.
2290
* Remove RevisionReference class; Revision.parent_ids is now simply a
2291
list of their ids and parent_sha1s is a list of their corresponding
2292
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2294
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2296
* Renamed Branch.last_patch() to Branch.last_revision(), since
2297
we call them revisions not patches.
2299
* Move copy_branch to bzrlib.clone.copy_branch. The destination
2300
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2302
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2303
giving the revision *of that file*.
2305
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2306
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2307
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2311
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2312
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2314
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2315
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2318
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2322
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2324
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2327
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2329
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2331
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2332
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2336
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2337
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2339
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2340
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2341
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2342
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2345
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2346
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2350
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2352
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2353
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2356
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2360
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2361
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2362
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2363
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2366
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2369
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2370
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2371
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2372
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2373
for the operating system is still tried.
2375
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2376
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2377
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2382
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2386
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2388
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2391
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2397
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2399
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2402
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2406
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2407
help with intelligent shell completion.
2409
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2414
* Much better merge support.
2416
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2417
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2423
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2424
mention revisions that are not present.
2426
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2428
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2430
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2431
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2436
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2438
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2439
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2445
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2446
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2451
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2455
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2456
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2458
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2460
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2461
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2463
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2466
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2468
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2471
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2472
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2474
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2475
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2476
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2481
* Faster working tree operations.
2486
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2487
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2488
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2489
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2491
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2492
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2493
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2494
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2495
standard plugins directory.
2497
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2498
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2499
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2500
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2502
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2503
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2505
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2508
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2509
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2510
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2512
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2513
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2515
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2516
line options must come before the command name because they
2517
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2518
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2521
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2523
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2524
is available with ``--short``.
2529
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2532
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2536
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2537
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2539
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2540
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2541
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2542
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2544
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2545
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2546
with the ``--forward`` option.
2548
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2549
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2555
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2556
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2558
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2560
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2561
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2563
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2565
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2566
either read or write mode.
2568
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2570
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2573
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2575
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2576
suggested by LarstiQ.
2578
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2579
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2581
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2584
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2585
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2587
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2588
haven't changed since the previous time.
2590
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2591
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2593
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2595
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2597
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2598
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2600
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2601
options through to an external GNU diff.
2603
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2606
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2612
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2613
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2615
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2621
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2622
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2625
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2626
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2628
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2629
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2631
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2632
under a different version.
2634
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2639
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2641
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2642
Scott James Remnant.
2644
* Better help messages for many commands.
2646
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2647
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2649
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2650
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2652
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2654
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2656
* New AtomicFile class.
2658
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2663
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2664
2.4 is now only recommended.
2667
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2671
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2672
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2674
* More default ignore patterns.
2676
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2677
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2679
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2681
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2684
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2689
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2690
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2691
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2692
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2693
there are DNS problems.
2695
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2700
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2702
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2704
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2705
trailing newlines properly.
2710
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2713
* More tests in test.sh.
2715
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2716
directory and delete it when done.
2718
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2723
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2726
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2730
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2734
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2737
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2739
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2742
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2745
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2747
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2751
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2752
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2757
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2758
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2763
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2767
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2774
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
2777
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
2781
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
2783
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
2784
rather than replacing it.
2786
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
2790
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
2793
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
2794
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
2796
* Performance improvements.
2798
* New global --profile option.
2800
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
2801
the root directory only.
2804
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
2808
* More information from info command.
2810
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
2812
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
2813
committing to stores.
2815
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
2819
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
2823
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
2824
installation easier.
2826
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
2830
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
2834
* First public release.
2836
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
