5
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
11
code paths. (Robert Collins)
13
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
14
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
15
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
16
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
17
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
19
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
20
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
23
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* Convenience method TestCase.expectFailure ensures that known failures
26
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
30
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
31
(#98510, Ian Clatworthy)
33
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
34
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
36
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
37
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.
40
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
45
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
46
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
47
in running it. (Robert Collins)
49
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
50
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
52
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
53
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
54
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
55
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
56
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
57
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
58
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
59
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
61
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
62
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
63
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
65
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
66
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
67
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
68
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
69
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
71
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
78
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
81
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
82
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
85
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
89
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
90
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
95
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
96
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
97
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
98
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
99
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
100
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
101
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
102
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
107
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
108
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
109
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
111
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
112
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
115
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
116
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
119
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
120
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
121
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
122
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
123
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
127
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
130
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
131
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
133
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
134
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
136
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
137
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
138
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
140
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
141
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
143
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
144
last-changed-revision for directories. The
145
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
146
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
147
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
149
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
150
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
151
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
153
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
157
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
159
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
161
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
162
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
163
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
167
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
168
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
170
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
171
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
173
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
175
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
176
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
178
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
179
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
183
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
188
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
189
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
190
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
191
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
193
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
194
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
196
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
197
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
199
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
202
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
203
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
206
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
210
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
211
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
212
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
213
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
214
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
215
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
217
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
218
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
219
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
220
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
221
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
222
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
223
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
225
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
226
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
227
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
228
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
229
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
230
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
231
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
232
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
236
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
237
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
239
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
240
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
241
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
242
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
244
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
245
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
246
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
247
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
248
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
250
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
253
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
256
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
259
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
260
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
263
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
266
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
267
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
269
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
270
directory. (Martin Pool)
272
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
273
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
274
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
275
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
277
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
278
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
279
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
280
in docs/configuration.txt.
282
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
283
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
286
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
287
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
288
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
289
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
290
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
291
repositories. (Martin Pool)
293
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
294
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
296
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
297
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
299
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
304
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
305
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
306
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
307
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
308
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
311
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
312
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
315
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
316
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
319
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
320
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
321
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
322
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
323
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
325
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
326
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
327
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
329
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
330
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
331
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
332
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
334
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
336
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
337
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
338
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
339
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
341
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
342
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
343
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
344
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
346
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
347
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
348
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
350
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
351
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
352
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
354
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
355
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
356
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
357
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
359
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
360
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
361
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
363
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
364
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
365
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
367
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
368
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
369
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
370
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
371
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
372
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
373
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
374
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
375
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
376
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
377
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
381
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
382
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
383
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
385
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
388
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
389
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
390
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
391
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
393
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
394
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
397
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
398
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
400
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
402
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
403
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
405
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
406
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
408
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
411
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
414
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
415
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
417
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
419
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
420
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
424
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
425
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
432
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
436
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
437
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
438
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
440
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
441
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
442
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
445
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
449
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
450
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
451
server, then you can write over the http connection.
452
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
454
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
457
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
458
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
459
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
461
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
462
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
464
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
467
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
468
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
469
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
470
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
471
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
472
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
474
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
475
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
476
should enable you to do::
479
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
480
push_location:policy = appendpath
482
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
483
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
486
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
487
for each file. For example::
495
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
496
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
498
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
500
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
501
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
503
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
507
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
508
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
509
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
510
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
512
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
513
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
514
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
516
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
518
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
519
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
520
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
521
(Alexander Belchenko)
523
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
526
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
527
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
529
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
533
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
534
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
536
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
537
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
538
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
539
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
540
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
542
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
543
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
545
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
546
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
548
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
550
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
552
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
553
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
554
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
555
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
556
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
558
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
559
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
560
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
561
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
563
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
564
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
566
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
567
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
569
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
570
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
572
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
573
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
578
No changes from 0.13rc1
580
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
584
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
588
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
589
operations are substantially faster.
590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
592
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
593
tree from some other url. For example:
594
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
597
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
598
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
599
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
600
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
602
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
605
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
606
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
607
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
608
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
609
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
610
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
614
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
615
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
618
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
619
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
622
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
623
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
624
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
627
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
628
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
630
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
631
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
636
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
637
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
640
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
641
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
642
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
643
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
645
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
647
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
648
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
650
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
651
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
652
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
653
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
655
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
656
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
657
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
659
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
660
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
661
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
664
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
665
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
667
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
669
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
670
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
672
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
673
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
675
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
676
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
677
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
678
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
680
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
681
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
682
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
684
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
685
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
687
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
688
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
689
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
690
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
691
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
695
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
696
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
702
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
703
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
706
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
710
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
711
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
712
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
713
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
715
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
716
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
718
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
720
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
721
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
722
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
723
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
725
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
726
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
727
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
728
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
733
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
734
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
738
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
739
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
740
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
742
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
743
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
746
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
747
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
748
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
750
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
751
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
754
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
755
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
756
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
758
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
759
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
760
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
761
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
762
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
763
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
765
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
766
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
767
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
770
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
771
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
775
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
776
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
777
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
780
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
781
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
783
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
784
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
785
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
787
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
788
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
790
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
791
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
792
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
793
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
795
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
796
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
798
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
799
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
800
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
802
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
803
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
805
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
807
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
808
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
813
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
814
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
815
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
816
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
818
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
819
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
820
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
824
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
826
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
830
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
832
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
835
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
839
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
840
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
841
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
842
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
843
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
844
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
845
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
847
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
848
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
849
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
851
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
853
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
854
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
856
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
857
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
858
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
861
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
862
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
863
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
866
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
867
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
868
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
869
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
872
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
873
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
874
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
879
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
880
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
882
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
884
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
885
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
886
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
888
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
889
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
891
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
892
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
894
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
895
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
897
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
898
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
900
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
902
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
903
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
905
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
906
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
908
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
909
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
911
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
914
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
915
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
916
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
918
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
919
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
921
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
922
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
923
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
924
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
926
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
927
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
928
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
930
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
931
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
935
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
939
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
940
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
943
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
944
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
945
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
946
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
948
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
951
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
952
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
953
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
955
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
956
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
958
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
959
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
960
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
962
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
963
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
964
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
965
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
966
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
967
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
968
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
969
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
972
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
973
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
975
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
976
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
978
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
979
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
980
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
981
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
982
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
983
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
984
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
986
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
987
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
988
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
989
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
990
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
991
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
992
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
993
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
996
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
997
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
998
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1000
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1001
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1003
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
1004
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1006
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1007
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1011
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1012
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1014
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
1015
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
1018
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1019
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1020
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1025
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1026
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1028
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1029
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1030
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
1031
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1032
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1034
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1035
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1036
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1038
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1039
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1041
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1042
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1043
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1047
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1049
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1050
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1051
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1053
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1055
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1057
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1058
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1059
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1060
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1062
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1063
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1064
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1065
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1066
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1068
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1069
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1071
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1072
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1074
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1075
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1077
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1078
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
1081
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1082
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1086
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1087
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1088
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1089
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1090
(John Arbash Meinel)
1092
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1093
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1094
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1096
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1100
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1101
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1102
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1103
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1104
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1105
a more conservative list than the old default.
1106
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1107
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1108
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1109
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1111
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1112
to more locations than just branch locations.
1117
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1118
revno:N:branch. For example,
1119
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1120
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1122
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1123
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1124
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1125
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1126
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1127
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1128
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1129
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1132
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1133
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1134
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1137
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1138
(Alexander Belchenko)
1140
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1142
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1145
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1146
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1147
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1148
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1149
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1150
(John Arbash Meinel)
1152
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1153
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1154
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1155
grained analysis of performance.
1156
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1158
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1159
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1161
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1162
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1163
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1164
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1165
file. (Robert Collins).
1167
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1168
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1169
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1171
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1172
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1175
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1176
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1178
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1179
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1180
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1181
the same way you would apply another branch.
1182
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1184
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1185
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1187
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1190
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1193
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1194
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1195
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1197
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1198
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1199
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1201
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1202
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1204
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1205
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1206
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1207
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1208
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1210
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1211
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1213
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1214
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1215
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1216
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1217
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1218
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1219
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1220
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1222
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1223
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1224
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1228
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1229
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1232
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1233
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1235
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1236
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1238
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1239
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1241
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1243
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1244
(John Arbash Meinel)
1246
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1247
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1249
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1250
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1253
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1254
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1256
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1257
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1259
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1260
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1261
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1262
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1264
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1265
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1267
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1269
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1270
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1272
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1274
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1276
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1277
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1279
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1280
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1282
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1283
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1284
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1286
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1287
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1288
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1290
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1291
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1293
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1294
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1296
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1297
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1299
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1300
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1302
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1303
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1305
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1306
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1307
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1309
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1311
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1312
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1316
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1317
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1318
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1320
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1321
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1323
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1324
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1325
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1327
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1328
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1330
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1331
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1334
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1335
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1336
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1338
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1339
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1340
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1342
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1343
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1344
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1346
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1347
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1348
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1350
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1351
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1352
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1354
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1355
instead. (Robert Collins)
1357
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1359
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1363
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1365
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1369
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1370
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1372
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1373
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1375
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1376
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1377
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1381
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1383
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1384
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1386
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1390
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1391
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1392
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1393
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1397
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1398
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1399
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1403
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1404
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1405
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1409
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1410
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1414
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1416
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1417
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1418
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1419
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1420
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1421
will keep the same format.
1423
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1424
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1425
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1426
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1427
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1429
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1430
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1431
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1432
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1433
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1434
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1435
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1437
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1438
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1439
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1440
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1441
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1443
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1444
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1445
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1451
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1452
convention. Paths now take the form:
1453
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1455
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1457
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1458
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1460
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1461
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1462
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1464
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1465
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1466
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1467
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1469
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1470
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1473
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1475
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1477
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1478
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1481
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1482
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1485
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1487
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1488
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1489
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1492
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1494
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1496
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1499
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1500
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1502
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1503
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1506
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1507
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1510
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1512
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1514
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1515
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1517
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1518
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1519
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1520
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1521
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1522
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1524
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1526
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1527
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1530
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1531
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1533
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1534
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1536
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1538
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1539
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1540
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1541
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1542
specification by Martin Pool.
1543
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1545
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1548
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1549
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1551
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1552
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1553
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1555
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1557
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1558
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1563
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1564
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1566
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1568
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1570
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1573
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1574
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1575
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1576
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1580
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1581
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1582
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1583
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1585
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1586
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1587
tried. (Martin Pool)
1589
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1592
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1594
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1595
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1596
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1598
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1599
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1601
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1602
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1603
paths. (Robert Collins)
1605
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1606
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1607
needs. (Robert Collins)
1609
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1610
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1611
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1613
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1614
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1616
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1619
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1622
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1624
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1626
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1627
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1628
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1631
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1632
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1634
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1635
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1636
check. (Robert Collins)
1638
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1639
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1643
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1644
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1646
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1647
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1648
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1649
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1651
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1652
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1653
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1654
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1655
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1657
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1658
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1659
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1661
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1663
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1664
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1670
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1671
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1673
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1674
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1675
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1678
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1679
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1681
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1682
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1683
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1684
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1685
(John Arbash Meinel)
1687
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1688
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1689
used. (Robert Collins)
1691
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1692
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1695
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1696
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1697
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1699
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1702
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1703
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1707
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1708
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1710
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1712
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1714
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1715
tree. (Robert Collins)
1717
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1718
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1719
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1722
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1725
* Tweaks to short log printing
1727
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1730
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1731
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1733
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1734
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1736
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1737
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1739
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1740
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1741
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1743
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1744
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1746
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1747
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1750
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1751
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1753
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1754
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1756
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1757
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1759
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1762
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1763
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1765
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1766
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1768
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1769
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1770
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1774
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1776
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1778
* Error when run with -OO
1780
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1783
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1785
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1787
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1788
ignored by diff and status
1790
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1791
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1793
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1795
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1797
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1798
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1800
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1801
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1803
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1806
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1807
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1809
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1811
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1812
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1814
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1817
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1820
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1824
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1825
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1827
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1829
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1831
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1833
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1834
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1835
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1837
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1839
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1840
(John Arbash Meinel)
1842
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1844
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1845
If adding a new test script please add that to
1846
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1848
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1849
imported. (Martin Pool)
1851
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1852
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1853
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1854
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1855
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1858
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1859
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1860
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1862
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1863
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1864
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1866
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1867
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1868
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1869
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1870
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1873
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1874
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1879
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1880
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1882
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1883
function. (Robert Collins)
1885
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1886
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1887
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1889
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1890
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1892
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1893
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1894
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1895
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1896
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1897
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1898
version. (Robert Collins)
1900
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1901
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1903
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1904
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1905
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1906
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1907
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1908
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1910
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1913
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1921
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1923
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1925
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1928
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1929
query method. (Robert Collins)
1931
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1934
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1937
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1941
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1942
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1943
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1944
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1946
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1947
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1948
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1949
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1951
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1952
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1958
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1961
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1965
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1966
a separator, not ':'.
1969
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1970
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1971
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1973
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1974
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1977
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1978
has been added that suppresses all output.
1980
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1983
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1984
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1986
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1987
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1989
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1990
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1992
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1993
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1994
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1995
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1997
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1999
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2000
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2002
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2003
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2005
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2006
output directory, if one was supplied.
2008
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
2009
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2010
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
2011
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2013
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2015
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2016
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2018
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2019
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2020
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2022
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2023
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2025
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2028
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2030
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2034
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2035
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2036
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2038
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2039
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2040
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2042
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2043
is given. (Martin Pool)
2045
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2046
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2047
file. (Robert Collins)
2049
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2054
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2055
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2056
representation. (Martin Pool).
2058
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2059
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2060
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2062
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2065
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2066
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2069
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2070
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2071
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2072
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2073
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2075
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2076
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2077
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
2078
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2079
python path. (Robert Collins)
2081
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2082
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2083
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2084
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2086
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2087
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2089
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2090
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2093
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2094
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2095
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2097
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2098
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2099
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2101
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2102
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2104
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2105
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2106
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2109
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2110
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2111
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2112
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2115
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2118
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2119
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2122
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2123
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2124
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2126
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2127
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2128
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2130
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2131
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2132
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2134
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2135
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2137
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2138
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2139
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2140
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2141
caller. (Robert Collins)
2143
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2144
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2147
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2148
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2150
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2152
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2153
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2157
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2158
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2160
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2161
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2164
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2168
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2169
allow directories to be listed.
2171
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2172
upgrading branch format.
2176
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2183
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2184
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2185
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2186
high-latency connections.
2190
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2193
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2194
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2196
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2197
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2198
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2199
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2201
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2202
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2204
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2205
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2207
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2208
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2209
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2211
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2212
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2213
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2216
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2217
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2219
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2220
different partial views of history.
2222
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2223
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2227
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2228
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2229
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2231
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2232
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2235
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2236
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2238
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2241
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2242
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2244
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2245
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2246
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2247
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2249
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2251
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2252
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2255
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2256
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2258
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2259
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2260
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2265
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2266
for your viewing pleasure.
2268
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2269
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2271
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2272
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2273
handling of such circumstances.
2275
* Remove RevisionReference class; Revision.parent_ids is now simply a
2276
list of their ids and parent_sha1s is a list of their corresponding
2277
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2279
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2281
* Renamed Branch.last_patch() to Branch.last_revision(), since
2282
we call them revisions not patches.
2284
* Move copy_branch to bzrlib.clone.copy_branch. The destination
2285
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2287
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2288
giving the revision *of that file*.
2290
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2291
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2292
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2296
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2297
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2299
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2300
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2303
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2307
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2309
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2312
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2314
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2316
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2317
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2321
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2322
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2324
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2325
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2326
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2327
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2330
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2331
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2335
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2337
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2338
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2341
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2345
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2346
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2347
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2348
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2351
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2354
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2355
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2356
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2357
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2358
for the operating system is still tried.
2360
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2361
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2362
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2367
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2371
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2373
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2376
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2382
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2384
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2387
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2391
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2392
help with intelligent shell completion.
2394
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2399
* Much better merge support.
2401
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2402
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2408
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2409
mention revisions that are not present.
2411
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2413
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2415
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2416
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2421
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2423
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2424
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2430
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2431
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2436
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2440
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2441
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2443
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2445
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2446
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2448
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2451
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2453
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2456
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2457
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2459
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2460
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2461
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2466
* Faster working tree operations.
2471
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2472
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2473
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2474
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2476
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2477
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2478
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2479
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2480
standard plugins directory.
2482
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2483
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2484
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2485
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2487
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2488
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2490
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2493
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2494
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2495
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2497
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2498
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2500
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2501
line options must come before the command name because they
2502
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2503
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2506
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2508
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2509
is available with ``--short``.
2514
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2517
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2521
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2522
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2524
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2525
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2526
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2527
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2529
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2530
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2531
with the ``--forward`` option.
2533
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2534
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2540
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2541
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2543
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2545
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2546
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2548
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2550
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2551
either read or write mode.
2553
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2555
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2558
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2560
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2561
suggested by LarstiQ.
2563
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2564
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2566
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2569
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2570
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2572
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2573
haven't changed since the previous time.
2575
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2576
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2578
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2580
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2582
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2583
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2585
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2586
options through to an external GNU diff.
2588
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2591
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2597
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2598
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2600
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2606
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2607
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2610
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2611
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2613
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2614
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2616
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2617
under a different version.
2619
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2624
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2626
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2627
Scott James Remnant.
2629
* Better help messages for many commands.
2631
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2632
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2634
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2635
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2637
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2639
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2641
* New AtomicFile class.
2643
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2648
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2649
2.4 is now only recommended.
2652
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2656
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2657
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2659
* More default ignore patterns.
2661
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2662
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2664
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2666
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2669
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2674
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2675
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2676
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2677
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2678
there are DNS problems.
2680
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2685
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2687
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2689
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2690
trailing newlines properly.
2695
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2698
* More tests in test.sh.
2700
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2701
directory and delete it when done.
2703
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2708
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2711
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2715
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2719
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2722
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2724
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2727
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2730
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2732
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2736
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2737
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2742
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2743
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2748
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2752
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2759
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
2762
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
2766
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
2768
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
2769
rather than replacing it.
2771
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
2775
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
2778
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
2779
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
2781
* Performance improvements.
2783
* New global --profile option.
2785
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
2786
the root directory only.
2789
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
2793
* More information from info command.
2795
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
2797
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
2798
committing to stores.
2800
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
2804
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
2808
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
2809
installation easier.
2811
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
2815
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
2819
* First public release.
