IN DEVELOPMENT
2
3
IMPROVEMENTS:
4
5
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7
8
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
9
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
11
12
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
13
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
14
Robert Collins)
15
16
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
17
Pool)
18
19
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
20
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
21
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
22
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
23
24
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
25
(Robert Collins)
26
27
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
28
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
29
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
30
(Robert Collins)
31
32
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
33
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
34
35
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
36
found (fixes bug 107656). (Robert Collins)
37
38
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
39
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
40
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
41
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
42
(Robert Collins)
43
44
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
45
plugin PLUGINNAME fixing bug 50408. (Robert Collins)
46
47
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
48
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
49
50
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port (fixes
51
#107125) and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
52
(Robert Collins).
53
54
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
55
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
56
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
57
58
INTERNALS:
59
60
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
61
code paths. (Robert Collins)
62
63
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
64
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
65
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
66
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
67
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
68
69
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
70
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
71
72
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
73
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
74
75
* Convenience method TestCase.expectFailure ensures that known failures
76
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
77
78
* Transport.local_abspath now raises NotLocalUrl rather than
79
TransportNotPossible. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
80
81
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
82
in bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks. The two initial hooks allow
83
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
84
(Robert Collins).
85
86
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
87
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
88
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
89
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
90
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
91
(Robert Collins)
92
93
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
94
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
95
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
96
97
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
98
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
99
consistent with its new home in bzrlib/transport/remote.py, and because
100
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
101
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
102
103
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
104
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
105
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
106
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
107
108
* New method 'get_branch_reference' on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
109
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
110
111
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
112
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
113
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
114
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
115
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
116
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
117
118
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
119
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
120
121
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
122
help. (Robert Collins)
123
124
* New class 'TransportListRegistry', derived from the Registry class, which
125
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
126
127
BUGFIXES:
128
129
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
130
(#98510, Ian Clatworthy)
131
132
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
133
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
134
135
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
136
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.
137
(Robert Collins)
138
139
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
140
(Aaron Bentley)
141
142
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
143
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
144
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
145
146
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
147
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
148
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
149
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
150
151
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
152
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
153
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
154
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
155
156
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
157
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
158
159
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
160
161
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
162
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
163
164
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
165
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
166
167
TESTING:
168
169
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
170
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
171
in running it. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
174
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
175
176
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
177
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
178
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
179
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
180
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
181
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
182
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
183
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
184
185
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
186
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
187
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
188
189
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
190
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
191
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
192
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
193
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
194
access.
195
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
196
197
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
198
functions by adding a __unittest global attribute. (Robert Collins,
199
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
200
201
bzr 0.15 2007-04-01
202
203
BUGFIXES:
204
205
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
206
(Aaron Bentley)
207
208
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
209
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
210
(Martin Pool)
211
212
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
213
214
CHANGES:
215
216
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
217
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
218
(Martin Pool)
219
220
IMPROVEMENTS:
221
222
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
223
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
224
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
225
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
226
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
227
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
228
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
229
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
230
path. (vila)
231
232
INTERNALS:
233
234
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
235
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
236
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
237
238
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
239
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
240
(Martin Pool)
241
242
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
243
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
244
(John Arbash Meinel)
245
246
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
247
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
248
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
249
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
250
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
251
252
BUGFIXES:
253
254
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
255
(vila, #92195)
256
257
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
258
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
259
260
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
261
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
262
263
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
264
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
265
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
266
267
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
268
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
269
270
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
271
last-changed-revision for directories. The
272
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
273
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
274
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
275
276
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
277
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
278
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
279
280
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
281
(vila, #88780)
282
283
284
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
285
286
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
287
288
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
289
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
290
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
291
292
IMPROVEMENTS:
293
294
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
295
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
296
297
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
298
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
299
300
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
301
302
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
303
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
304
305
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
306
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
307
308
INTERNALS:
309
310
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
311
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
312
313
BUGFIXES:
314
315
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
316
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
317
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
318
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
319
320
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
321
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
322
323
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
324
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
325
326
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
327
(Marien Zwart)
328
329
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
330
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
331
332
333
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
334
335
SURPRISES:
336
337
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
338
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
339
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
340
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
341
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
342
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
343
344
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
345
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
346
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
347
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
348
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
349
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
350
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
351
352
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
353
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
354
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
355
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
356
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
357
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
358
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
359
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
360
361
IMPROVEMENTS:
362
363
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
364
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
365
366
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
367
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
368
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
369
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
370
does exist.
371
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
372
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
373
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
374
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
375
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
376
377
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
378
(Aaron Bentley)
379
380
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
381
(Aaron Bentley)
382
383
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
384
(Robert Collins)
385
386
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
387
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
388
(Aaron Bentley)
389
390
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
391
(Aaron Bentley)
392
393
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
394
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
395
396
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
397
directory. (Martin Pool)
398
399
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
400
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
401
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
402
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
403
404
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
405
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
406
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
407
in docs/configuration.txt.
408
409
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
410
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
411
bind location.
412
413
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
414
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
415
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
416
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
417
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
418
repositories. (Martin Pool)
419
420
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
421
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
422
423
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
424
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
425
426
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
427
(Aaron Bentley)
428
429
INTERNALS:
430
431
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
432
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
433
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
434
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
435
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
436
(John Arbash Meinel)
437
438
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
439
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
440
(Aaron Bentley)
441
442
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
443
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
444
(John Arbash Meinel)
445
446
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
447
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
448
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
449
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
450
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
451
452
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
453
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
454
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
455
456
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
457
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
458
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
459
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
460
repository.
461
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
462
463
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
464
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
465
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
466
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
467
468
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
469
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
470
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
471
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
472
473
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
474
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
475
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
476
477
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
478
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
479
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
480
481
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
482
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
483
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
484
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
485
486
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
487
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
488
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
489
490
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
491
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
492
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
493
494
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
495
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
496
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
497
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
498
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
499
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
500
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
501
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
502
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

504
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
505
506
BUGFIXES:
507
508
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
509
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
510
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
511
512
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
513
(Aaron Bentley)
514
515
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
516
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
517
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
518
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
519
520
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
521
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
522
#83954).
523
524
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
525
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
526
527
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
528
529
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
530
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
531
532
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
533
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
534
535
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
536
Ladeuil, #85305)
537
538
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
540
541
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
542
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
543
544
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
545
546
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
547
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
548
549
TESTING:
550
551
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
552
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

555
bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
556
557
IMPROVEMENTS:
558
559
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
560
561
BUG FIXES:
562
563
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
564
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
565
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
566
567
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
568
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
569
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
570
571
572
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
573
574
IMPROVEMENTS:
575
576
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
577
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
578
server, then you can write over the http connection.
579
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
580
581
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
582
(Marius Kruger)
583
584
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
585
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
586
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
587
588
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
589
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
590
591
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
592
(Aaron Bentley)
593
594
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
595
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
596
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
597
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
598
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
599
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
600
601
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
602
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
603
should enable you to do::
604
605
[/home/user/project]
606
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
607
push_location:policy = appendpath
608
609
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
610
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
611
(James Henstridge)
612
613
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
614
for each file. For example::
615
616
$ bzr status --short
617
A foo
618
A bar
619
D baz
620
? wooley
621
622
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
623
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
624
625
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
626
627
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
628
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
629
630
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
631
632
INTERNALS:
633
634
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
635
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
636
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
637
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
638
639
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
640
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
641
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
642
643
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
644
645
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
646
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
647
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
648
(Alexander Belchenko)
649
650
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
651
Pool)
652
653
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
654
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
655
656
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
657
658
BUG FIXES:
659
660
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
661
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
662
663
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
664
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
665
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
666
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
667
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
668
669
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
670
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
671
672
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
673
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
674
675
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
676
matcher.
677
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
678
679
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
680
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
681
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
682
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
683
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
684
685
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
686
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
687
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
688
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
689
690
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
691
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
692
693
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
694
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
695
696
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
697
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
698
699
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
710
711
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
712
tree from a branch.
713
(Daniel Silverstone)
714
715
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
716
operations are substantially faster.
717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
718
719
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
720
tree from some other url. For example:
721
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
722
(Daniel Silverstone)
723
724
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
725
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
726
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
727
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
728
729
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
730
(Andrew Bennetts)
731
732
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
733
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
734
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
735
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
736
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
737
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
738
739
INTERNALS:
740
741
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
742
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
743
(Martin Pool)
744
745
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
746
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
747
(John Arbash Meinel)
748
749
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
750
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
751
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
752
(John Arbash Meinel)
753
754
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
755
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
756
757
* New method 'get_branch_reference' on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
758
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
759
760
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
761
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
762
Bennetts)
763
764
BUG FIXES:
765
766
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
767
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
768
Arbash Meinel)
769
770
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
771
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
772
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
773
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
774
775
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
776
777
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
778
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
779
780
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
781
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
782
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
784
785
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
786
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
787
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
788
789
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
790
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
791
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
792
#64789)
793
794
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
795
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
796
797
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
798
799
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
800
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
801
802
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
803
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
804
805
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
806
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
807
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
808
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
809
810
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
811
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
812
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
813
814
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
815
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
816
817
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
818
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
819
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
820
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
821
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
822
823
TESTING:
824
825
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
826
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
827
828
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
829
830
INTERNALS:

834
(John Arbash Meinel)
835
836
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
837
838
IMPROVEMENTS:
839
840
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
841
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
842
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
843
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
844
845
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
846
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
847
848
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
849
850
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
851
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
852
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
853
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
854
855
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
856
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
857
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
858
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
859
Simó)
860
861
API INCOMPATABILITY:
862
863
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
864
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
865
866
INTERNALS:
867
868
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
869
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
870
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
871
872
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
873
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
874
(John Arbash Meinel)
875
876
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
877
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
878
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
879
880
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
881
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
882
(Aaron Bentley)
883
884
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
885
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
886
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
887
888
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
889
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
890
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
891
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
892
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
893
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
894
895
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
896
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
897
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
898
(Robert Collins)
899
900
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
901
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
902
903
BUG FIXES:
904
905
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
906
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
907
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
908
#63360, #66349)
909
910
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
911
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
912
913
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
914
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
915
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
916
917
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
918
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
919
920
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
921
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
922
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
923
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
924
925
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
926
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
927
928
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
929
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
930
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
931
932
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
933
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
934
935
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
936
937
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
938
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
939
#32054)
940
941
TESTING:
942
943
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
944
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
945
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
946
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
947
948
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
949
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
950
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
951
952
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
953
954
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
955
956
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
957
958
BUG FIXES:
959
960
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
961
962
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
963
Arbash Meinel).
964
965
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
966
967
IMPROVEMENTS:
968
969
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
970
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
971
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
972
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
973
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
974
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
975
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
976
977
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
978
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
979
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
980
981
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
982
983
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
984
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
985
986
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
987
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
988
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
989
(Robert Collins)
990
991
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
992
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
993
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
994
(John Arbash Meinel)
995
996
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
997
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
998
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
999
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1000
Pool)
1001
1002
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1003
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1004
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1005
(John Arbash Meinel)
1006
1007
BUG FIXES:
1008
1009
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
1010
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1011
1012
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1013
1014
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1015
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1016
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1017
1018
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1019
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1020
1021
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1022
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1023
1024
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1025
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1026
1027
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1028
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1029
1030
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1031
1032
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1033
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1034
1035
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1036
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1037
1038
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1039
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1040
1041
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1042
(John Arbash Meinel)
1043
1044
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1045
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1046
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1047
1048
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1049
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1050
1051
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1052
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1053
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1054
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1055
1056
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1057
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1058
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1059
1060
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1061
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1062
1063
PORTABILITY:
1064
1065
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1066
1067
INTERNALS:
1068
1069
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1070
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1071
(John Arbash Meinel)
1072
1073
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
1074
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1075
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
1076
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1077
1078
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1079
(Andrew Bennetts)
1080
1081
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
1082
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1083
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1084
1085
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
1086
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1087
1088
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1089
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1090
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1091
1092
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1093
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
1094
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
1095
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
1096
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
1097
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
1098
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
1099
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
1100
(John Arbash Meinel)
1101
1102
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1103
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1104
1105
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
1106
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1107
1108
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
1109
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1110
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1111
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1112
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
1113
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1114
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1115
1116
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1117
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1118
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1119
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1120
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1121
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1122
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1123
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1124
(Robert Collins)
1125
1126
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1127
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1128
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1129
1130
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1131
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1132
1133
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
1134
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1135
1136
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1137
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1138
1139
TESTING:
1140
1141
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1142
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1143
1144
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
1145
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
1146
Robert Collins)
1147
1148
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1149
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1150
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1151
1152
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1153
1154
IMPROVEMENTS:
1155
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1156
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1157
1158
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1159
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1160
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
1161
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1162
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1163
1164
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1165
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1166
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1167
1168
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1169
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1170
1171
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1172
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1173
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1174
1175
BUG FIXES:
1176
1177
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1178
1179
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1180
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1181
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1182
1183
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1184
1185
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1186
1187
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1188
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1189
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1190
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1191
1192
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1193
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1194
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1195
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1196
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1197
1198
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1199
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1200
1201
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1202
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1203
1204
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1205
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1206
1207
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1208
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
1209
#54723)
1210
1211
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1212
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1213
1214
INTERNALS:
1215
1216
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1217
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1218
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1219
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1220
(John Arbash Meinel)
1221
1222
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1223
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1224
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1225
1226
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1227
1228
SURPRISES:
1229
1230
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1231
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1232
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1233
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1234
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1235
a more conservative list than the old default.
1236
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1237
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1238
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1239
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1240
1241
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1242
to more locations than just branch locations.
1243
(Aaron Bentley)
1244
1245
IMPROVEMENTS:
1246
1247
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1248
revno:N:branch. For example,
1249
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1250
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1251
1252
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1253
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1254
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1255
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1256
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1257
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1258
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1259
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1260
#42517, #42514)
1261
1262
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1263
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1264
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1265
(Malone #3507)
1266
1267
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1268
(Alexander Belchenko)
1269
1270
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1271
1272
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1273
(Robert Collins).
1274
1275
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1276
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1277
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1278
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1279
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1280
(John Arbash Meinel)
1281
1282
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1283
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1284
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1285
grained analysis of performance.
1286
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1287
1288
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1289
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1290
1291
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1292
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1293
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1294
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1295
file. (Robert Collins).
1296
1297
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1298
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1299
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1300
1301
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1302
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1303
Matthieu Moy)
1304
1305
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1306
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1307
1308
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1309
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1310
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1311
the same way you would apply another branch.
1312
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1313
1314
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1315
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1316
1317
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1318
(Michael Ellerman)
1319
1320
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1321
(Aaron Bentley)
1322
1323
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1324
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1325
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1326
1327
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1328
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1329
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1330
1331
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1332
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1333
1334
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1335
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1336
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1337
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1338
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1339
1340
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1341
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1342
1343
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1344
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1345
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1346
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1347
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1348
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1349
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1350
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1351
1352
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1353
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1354
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1355
1356
BUG FIXES:
1357
1358
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1359
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1360
Martin Pool)
1361
1362
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1363
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1364
1365
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1366
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1367
1368
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1369
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1370
1371
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1372
1373
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1374
(John Arbash Meinel)
1375
1376
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1377
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1378
1379
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1380
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1381
and y.
1382
1383
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1384
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1385
1386
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1387
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1388
1389
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1390
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1391
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1392
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1393
1394
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1395

1403
1404
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1405
1406
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1407
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1408
1409
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1410
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1411
1412
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1413
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1414
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1415
1416
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1417
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1418
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1419
1420
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1421
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1422
1423
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1424
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1425
1426
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1427
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1428
1429
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1430
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1431
1432
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1433
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1434
1435
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1436
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1437
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1438
1439
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1440
1441
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1442
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1443
1444
INTERNALS:
1445
1446
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1447
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1448
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1449
1450
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1451
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1452
1453
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1454
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1455
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1456
1457
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1458
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1459
1460
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1461
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1462
(Martin Pool)
1463
1464
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1465
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1466
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1467
1468
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1469
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1470
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1471
1472
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1473
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1474
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1475
1476
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1477
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.

1481
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1482
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1483
1484
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)

1502
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1503

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1543
1544
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1545
1546
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1547
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1548
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1549
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1550
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1551
will keep the same format.
1552
1553
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1554
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1555
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1556
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1557
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1558
1559
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1560
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1561
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1562
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1563
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1564
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1565
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1566
1567
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1568
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1569
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1570
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1571
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1572
1573
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1574
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1575
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1576
arrangement.
1577
1578
1579
IMPROVEMENTS:
1580
1581
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1582
convention. Paths now take the form:
1583
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1584
or
1585
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1586
1587
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1588
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1589
1590
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1591
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1592
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1593
1594
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1595
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1596
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1597
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1598
1599
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1600
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1601
Niedermann)
1602
1603
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1604
1605
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1606
1607
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1608
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1609
commits::
1610
1611
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1612
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1613
| xargs bzr re-sign
1614
1615
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1616
1617
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1618
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1619
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1620
(Robert Collins)
1621
1622
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1623
1624
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1625
1626
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1627
'.moved'.
1628
1629
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1630
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1631
1632
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1633
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1634
Daniel Silverstone)
1635
1636
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1637
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1638
Martin Pool)
1639
1640
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1641
1642
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1643
1644
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1645
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1646
1647
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1648
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1649
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1650
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1651
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1652
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1653
1654
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1655
1656
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1657
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1658
(Robert Collins)
1659
1660
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1661
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1662
1663
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1664
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1665
1666
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1667
1668
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1669
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1670
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1671
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1672
specification by Martin Pool.
1673
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1674
1675
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1676
Belchenko)
1677
1678
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1679
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1680
1681
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1682
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1683
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1684
1685
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1686
1687
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1688
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1689
(Robert Collins)
1690
1691
CHANGES:
1692
1693
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1694
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1695
1696
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1697
1698
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1699
1700
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1701
(Olaf Conradi)
1702
1703
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1704
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1705
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1706
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1707
1708
INTERNALS:
1709
1710
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1711
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1712
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1713
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1714
1715
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1716
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1717
tried. (Martin Pool)
1718
1719
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1720
(Martin Pool)
1721
1722
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1723
1724
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1725
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1726
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1727
1728
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1729
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1730
1731
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1732
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1733
paths. (Robert Collins)
1734
1735
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1736
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1737
needs. (Robert Collins)
1738
1739
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1740
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1741
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1742
1743
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1744
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1745
1746
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1747
(Olaf Conradi)
1748
1749
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1750
(Olaf Conradi)
1751
1752
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1753
1754
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1755
1756
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1757
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1758
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1759
(Robert Collins)
1760
1761
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1762
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1763
1764
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1765
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1766
check. (Robert Collins)
1767
1768
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1769
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1770
1771
TESTING:
1772
1773
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1774
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1775
1776
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1777
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1778
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1779
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1780
1781
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1782
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1783
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1784
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1785
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1786
1787
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1788
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1789
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1790
1791
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1792
1793
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1794
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

1802
1803
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1804

* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1809
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1810
1811
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1812
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1813
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1814
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1815
(John Arbash Meinel)
1816
1817
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1818
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1819
used. (Robert Collins)
1820
1821
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1822
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1823
(James Henstridge)
1824
1825
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1826
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1827
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1828
1829
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1830
ignore list.
1831
1832
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1833
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1834
1835
IMPROVEMENTS:
1836
1837
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1838
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1839
1840
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1841
1842
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1843
1844
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1845
tree. (Robert Collins)
1846
1847
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1848
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1849
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1850
(Robert Collins)
1851
1852
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1853
that they be kept.
1854
1855
* Tweaks to short log printing
1856
1857
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1858
(Aaron Bentley)
1859
1860
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1861
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1862
1863
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1864
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1865
1866
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1867
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1868
1869
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1870
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1871
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1872
1873
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1874
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1875
1876
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1877
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1878
requests.
1879
1880
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1881
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1882
1883
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1884
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1885
1886
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1887
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1888
1889
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1890
(Denys Duchier)
1891
1892
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1893
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1894
1895
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1896
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1897
1898
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1899
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1900
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1901
1902
BUG FIXES:
1903
1904
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1905
1906
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1907
1908
* Error when run with -OO
1909
1910
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1911
(Martin Pool)
1912
1913
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1914
1915
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1916
1917
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1918
ignored by diff and status
1919
1920
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1921
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1922
1923
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1924
1925
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1926
1927
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1928
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1929
1930
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1931
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1932
1933
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1934
Meland)
1935
1936
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1937
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1938
1939
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1940
1941
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1942
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1943
1944
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1945
Pool)
1946
1947
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1948
Heen, Martin Pool)
1949
1950
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1951
1952
TESTING:
1953
1954
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1955
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1956
1957
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1958
1959
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1960
1961
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1962
1963
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1964
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1965
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1966
1967
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1968
1969
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1970
(John Arbash Meinel)
1971
1972
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1973
1974
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1975
If adding a new test script please add that to
1976
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1977
1978
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1979
imported. (Martin Pool)
1980
1981
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1982
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1983
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1984
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1985
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1986
(Robert Collins)
1987
1988
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1989
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1990
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1991
1992
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1993
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1994
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1995
1996
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1997
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1998
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1999
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2000
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2001
(Robert Collins).
2002
2003
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
2004
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2005
(Robert Collins).
2006
2007
INTERNALS:
2008
2009
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2010
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2011
2012
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
2013
function. (Robert Collins)
2014
2015
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
2016
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2017
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2018
2019
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
2020
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
2021
2022
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
2023
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2024
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2025
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2026
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2027
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2028
version. (Robert Collins)
2029
2030
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2031
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2032
2033
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
2034
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
2035
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
2036
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
2037
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
2038
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2039
2040
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2041
(Robert Collins)
2042
2043
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
2044
add()
2045
commit()
2046
move()
2047
rename_one()
2048
unknowns()
2049
(Robert Collins)
2050
2051
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
2052
2053
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2054
2055
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
2056
Pool)
2057
2058
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
2059
query method. (Robert Collins)
2060
2061
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2062
(Denys Duchier)
2063
2064
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2065
(Michael Ellerman)
2066
2067
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
2068
(Michael Ellerman)
2069
2070
2071
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2072
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
2073
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2074
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2075
2076
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2077
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
2078
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2079
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2080
2081
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
2082
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2083
2084
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
2085
2086
IMPROVEMENTS:
2087
2088
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2089
(John A Meinel)
2090
2091
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2092
conflicts.
2093
(Aaron Bentley)
2094
2095
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2096
a separator, not ':'.
2097
(Aaron Bentley)
2098
2099
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2100
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2101
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2102
2103
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2104
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2105
(Robert Collins)
2106
2107
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2108
has been added that suppresses all output.
2109
2110
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2111
Adams.
2112
2113
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2114
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2115
2116
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2117
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2118
2119
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2120
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2121
2122
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
2123
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
2124
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2125
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2126
2127
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2128
2129
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2130
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2131
2132
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2133
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2134
2135
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2136
output directory, if one was supplied.
2137
2138
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
2139
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2140
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
2141
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2142
2143
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2144
2145
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2146
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2147
2148
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2149
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2150
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2151
2152
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2153
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2154
2155
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2156
(Aaron Bentley)
2157
2158
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2159
2160
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2161
2162
TESTING:
2163
2164
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2165
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2166
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2167
2168
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2169
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2170
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2171
2172
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2173
is given. (Martin Pool)
2174
2175
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2176
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2177
file. (Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2180
(Martin Pool)
2181
2182
INTERNALS:
2183
2184
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2185
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2186
representation. (Martin Pool).
2187
2188
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2189
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2190
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2191
2192
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2193
(Robert Collins)
2194
2195
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2196
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2197
Magnus Therning.
2198
2199
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2200
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2201
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2202
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2203
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2204
2205
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2206
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2207
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
2208
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2209
python path. (Robert Collins)
2210
2211
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2212
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2213
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2214
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2215
2216
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2217
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2218
2219
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2220
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2221
Collins)
2222
2223
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2224
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2225
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2226
2227
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2228
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2229
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2230
2231
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2232
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2233
2234
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2235
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2236
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2237
(Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2240
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2241
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2242
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2243
(Robert Collins)
2244
2245
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2246
Collins)
2247
2248
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2249
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2250
(Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2253
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2254
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2255
2256
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2257
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2258
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2259
2260
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2261
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2262
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2263
2264
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2265
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2266
2267
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2268
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2269
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2270
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2271
caller. (Robert Collins)
2272
2273
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2274
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2275
(Robert Collins).
2276
2277
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2278
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2279
2280
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2281
2282
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2283
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2284
2285
BUG FIXES:
2286
2287
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2288
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2289
2290
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2291
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

2294
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2295
2296
BUG FIXES:
2297
2298
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2299
allow directories to be listed.
2300
2301
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2302
upgrading branch format.
2303
2304
PERFORMANCE:
2305
2306
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2307
2308
2309
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2310
2311
NOTES:
2312
2313
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2314
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2315
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2316
high-latency connections.
2317
2318
BUG FIXES:
2319
2320
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2321
Rob Weir.
2322
2323
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2324
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2325
2326
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2327
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2328
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2329
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2330
2331
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2332
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2333
2334
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2335
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2336
2337
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2338
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2339
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2340
2341
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2342
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2343
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2344
Robert Collins
2345
2346
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2347
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2348
2349
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2350
different partial views of history.
2351
2352
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2353
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2354
2355
IMPROVEMENTS:
2356
2357
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2358
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2359
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2360
2361
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2362
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2363
'bzr upgrade'.
2364
2365
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2366
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2367
2368
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2369
Niemeyer.
2370
2371
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2372
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2373
2374
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2375
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2376
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2377
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2378
2379
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2380
2381
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2382
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2383
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2384
2385
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2386
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2387
2388
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2389
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2390
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2391
2392
2393
INTERNALS:
2394
2395
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2396
for your viewing pleasure.
2397
2398
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2399
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2400
2401
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2402
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2403
handling of such circumstances.
2404
2405
* Remove RevisionReference class; Revision.parent_ids is now simply a
2406
list of their ids and parent_sha1s is a list of their corresponding
2407
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2408
2409
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2410
2411
* Renamed Branch.last_patch() to Branch.last_revision(), since
2412
we call them revisions not patches.
2413
2414
* Move copy_branch to bzrlib.clone.copy_branch. The destination
2415
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2416
2417
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2418
giving the revision *of that file*.
2419
2420
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2421
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2422
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2423
2424
TESTING:
2425
2426
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2427
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2428
2429
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2430
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2431
2432
2433
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2434
2435
BUG FIXES:
2436
2437
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2438
2439
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2440
(Robert Collins).
2441
2442
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2443
2444
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2445
2446
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2447
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2448
2449
IMPROVEMENTS:
2450
2451
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2452
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2453
2454
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2455
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2456
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2457
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2458
Robey Pointer
2459
2460
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2461
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2462
2463
INTERNALS:
2464
2465
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2466
2467
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2468
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2469
2470
2471
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2472
2473
IMPROVEMENTS:
2474
2475
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2476
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2477
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2478
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2479
Michael Ellerman.
2480
2481
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2482
Nir Soffer.
2483
2484
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2485
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2486
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2487
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2488
for the operating system is still tried.
2489
2490
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2491
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2492
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2493
2494
2495
INTERNALS:
2496
2497
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2498
2499
BUG FIXES:
2500
2501
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2502
2503
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2504
branch.
2505
2506
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2507
read.
2508
2509
2510
PORTABILITY:
2511
2512
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2513
2514
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2515
2516
2517
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2518
2519
NEW FEATURES:
2520
2521
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2522
help with intelligent shell completion.
2523
2524
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2525
2526
2527
ENHANCEMENTS:
2528
2529
* Much better merge support.
2530
2531
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2532
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2533
like emacs smerge.
2534
2535
2536
BUG FIXES:
2537
2538
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2539
mention revisions that are not present.
2540
2541
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2542
2543
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2544
2545
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2546
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2547
2548
2549
CHANGES:
2550
2551
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2552
2553
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2554
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2555
--help themselves.
2556
2557
2558
LIBRARY:
2559
2560
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2561
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2562
libraries.
2563
2564
2565
2566
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2567
2568
NEW FEATURES:
2569
2570
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2571
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2572
2573
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2574
2575
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2576
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2577
2578
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2579
FOO.
2580
2581
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2582
2583
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2584
the Unix command.
2585
2586
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2587
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2588
2589
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2590
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2591
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2592
2593
2594
ENHANCEMENTS:
2595
2596
* Faster working tree operations.
2597
2598
2599
CHANGES:
2600
2601
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2602
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2603
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2604
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2605
2606
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2607
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2608
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2609
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2610
standard plugins directory.
2611
2612
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2613
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2614
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2615
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2616
2617
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2618
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2619
2620
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2621
disk.
2622
2623
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2624
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2625
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2626
2627
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2628
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2629
2630
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2631
line options must come before the command name because they
2632
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2633
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2634
it.
2635
2636
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2637
2638
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2639
is available with ``--short``.
2640
2641
2642
BUG FIXES:
2643
2644
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2645
2646
2647
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2648
2649
CHANGES:
2650
2651
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2652
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2653
2654
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2655
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2656
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2657
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2658
2659
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2660
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2661
with the ``--forward`` option.
2662
2663
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2664
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2665
field.
2666
2667
2668
ENHANCEMENTS:
2669
2670
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2671
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2672
2673
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2674
2675
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2676
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2677
2678
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2679
2680
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2681
either read or write mode.
2682
2683
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2684
2685
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2686
affected that file.
2687
2688
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2689
2690
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2691
suggested by LarstiQ.
2692
2693
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2694
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2695
2696
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2697
a filename.
2698
2699
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2700
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2701
2702
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2703
haven't changed since the previous time.
2704
2705
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2706
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2707
2708
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2709
2710
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2711
2712
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2713
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2714
2715
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2716
options through to an external GNU diff.
2717
2718
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2719
their contents.
2720
2721
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2722
from a branch.
2723
2724
2725
BUG FIXES:
2726
2727
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2728
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2729
2730
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2731
metacharacters.
2732
2733
2734
TESTING:
2735
2736
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2737
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2738
the tests.
2739
2740
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2741
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2742
2743
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2744
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2745
2746
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2747
under a different version.
2748
2749
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2750
2751
2752
INTERNAL:
2753
2754
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2755
2756
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2757
Scott James Remnant.
2758
2759
* Better help messages for many commands.
2760
2761
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2762
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2763
2764
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2765
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2766
2767
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2768
2769
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2770
2771
* New AtomicFile class.
2772
2773
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2774
2775
2776
PORTABILITY:
2777
2778
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2779
2.4 is now only recommended.
2780
2781
2782
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2783
2784
ENHANCEMENTS:
2785
2786
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2787
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2788
2789
* More default ignore patterns.
2790
2791
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2792
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2793
2794
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2795
2796
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2797
by Jason Diamon.
2798
2799
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2800
2801
2802
CHANGES:
2803
2804
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2805
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2806
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2807
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2808
there are DNS problems.
2809
2810
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2811
2812
2813
BUG FIXES:
2814
2815
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2816
2817
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2818
2819
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2820
trailing newlines properly.
2821
2822
2823
INTERNAL:
2824
2825
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2826
Matt Brubeck.
2827
2828
* More tests in test.sh.
2829
2830
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2831
directory and delete it when done.
2832
2833
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2834
2835
2836
PORTABILITY:
2837
2838
