BUGFIXES:
4
5
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
6
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
8
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
9
10
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
11
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
12
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
18
19
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
20
it could be recovered again.
21
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
22
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
23
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
24
but not delete it.
25
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
26
files.
27
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
28
(Marius Kruger, #82602)

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

bzr 0.15 2007-04-01
318
319
BUGFIXES:
320
321
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
322
(Aaron Bentley)
323
324
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
325
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
326
(Martin Pool)
327
328
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
329
330
CHANGES:
331
332
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
333
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
334
(Martin Pool)
335
336
IMPROVEMENTS:
337
338
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
339
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
340
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
341
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
342
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
343
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
344
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
345
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
346
path. (vila)
347
348
INTERNALS:
349
350
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
351
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
352
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
353
354
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
355
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
356
(Martin Pool)
357
358
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
359
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
360
(John Arbash Meinel)
361
362
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
363
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
364
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
365
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
366
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
367
368
BUGFIXES:
369
370
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
371
(vila, #92195)
372
373
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
374
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
375
376
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
377
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
378
379
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
380
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
381
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
382
383
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
384
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
385
386
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
387
last-changed-revision for directories. The
388
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
389
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
390
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
391
392
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
393
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
394
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
395
396
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
397
(vila, #88780)

399
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
400
401
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
402
403
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
404
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
405
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
406
407
IMPROVEMENTS:
408
409
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
410
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
411
412
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
413
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
414
415
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
416
417
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
418
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
419
420
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
421
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
422
423
INTERNALS:
424
425
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
426
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
427
428
BUGFIXES:
429
430
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
431
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
432
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
433
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
434
435
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
436
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
437
438
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
439
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
440
441
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
442
(Marien Zwart)
443
444
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
449
450
SURPRISES:
451
452
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
453
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
454
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
455
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
456
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
457
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
458
459
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
460
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
461
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
462
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
463
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
464
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
465
development.
466
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
467
468
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
469
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
470
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
471
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
472
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
473
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
474
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
475
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
476
477
IMPROVEMENTS:
478
479
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
480
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
481
482
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
483
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
484
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
485
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
486
does exist.
487
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
488
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
489
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
490
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
491
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
492
493
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
494
(Aaron Bentley)
495
496
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
497
(Aaron Bentley)
498
499
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
500
(Robert Collins)
501
502
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
503
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
504
(Aaron Bentley)
505
506
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
507
(Aaron Bentley)
508
509
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
510
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
511
512
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
513
directory. (Martin Pool)
514
515
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
516
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
517
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
518
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
519
520
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
521
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
522
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
523
in docs/configuration.txt.
524
525
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
526
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
527
bind location.
528
529
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
530
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
531
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
532
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
533
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
534
repositories. (Martin Pool)
535
536
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
537
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
538
539
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
540
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
541
542
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
543
(Aaron Bentley)
544
545
INTERNALS:
546
547
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
548
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
549
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
550
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
551
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
552
(John Arbash Meinel)
553
554
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
555
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
556
(Aaron Bentley)
557
558
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
559
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
560
(John Arbash Meinel)
561
562
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
563
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
564
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
565
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
566
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
567
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
568
569
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
570
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
571
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
572
573
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
574
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
575
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
576
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
577
repository.
578
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
579
580
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
581
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
582
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
583
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
584
585
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
586
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
587
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
588
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
589
590
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
591
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
592
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
593
594
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
595
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
596
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
597
598
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
599
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
600
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
601
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
602
603
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
604
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
605
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
606
607
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
608
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
609
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
610
611
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
612
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
613
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
614
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
615
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
616
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
617
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
618
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
619
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
620

621
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
622
623
BUGFIXES:
624
625
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
626
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
627
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
628
629
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
630
(Aaron Bentley)
631
632
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
633
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
634
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
635
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
636
637
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
638
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
639
#83954).
640
641
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
642
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
643
644
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
645
646
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
647
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
648
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
649
650
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
651
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
652
653
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
655
656
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
657
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
658
659
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
660
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
661
662
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
663
664
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
665
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
666
667
TESTING:
668
669
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
670
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
674
675
IMPROVEMENTS:
676
677
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
678
679
BUG FIXES:
680
681
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
682
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
683
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
684
685
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
686
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
687
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
688
689
690
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
691
692
IMPROVEMENTS:
693
694
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
695
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
696
server, then you can write over the http connection.
697
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
698
699
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
700
(Marius Kruger)
701
702
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
703
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
704
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
705
706
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
707
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
708
709
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
710
(Aaron Bentley)
711
712
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
713
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
714
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
715
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
716
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
717
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
718
719
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
720
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
721
should enable you to do::
722
723
[/home/user/project]
724
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
725
push_location:policy = appendpath
726
727
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
728
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
729
(James Henstridge)
730
731
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
732
for each file. For example::
733
734
$ bzr status --short
735
A foo
736
A bar
737
D baz
738
? wooley
739
740
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
741
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
742
743
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
744
745
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
746
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
747
748
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
749
750
INTERNALS:
751
752
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
753
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
754
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
755
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
756
757
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
758
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
759
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
760
761
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
762
763
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
764
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
765
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
766
(Alexander Belchenko)
767
768
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
769
Pool)
770
771
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
772
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
773
774
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
775
776
BUG FIXES:
777
778
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
779
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
780
781
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
782
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
783
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
784
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
785
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
786
787
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
788
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
789
790
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
791
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
792
793
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
794
matcher.
795
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
796
797
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
798
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
799
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
800
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
801
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
802
803
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
804
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
805
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
806
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
807
808
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
809
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
810
811
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
812
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
813
814
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
815
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

827
IMPROVEMENTS:
828
829
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
830
tree from a branch.
831
(Daniel Silverstone)
832
833
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
834
operations are substantially faster.
835
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
836
837
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
838
tree from some other url. For example:
839
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
840
(Daniel Silverstone)
841
842
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
843
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
844
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
845
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
846
847
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
848
(Andrew Bennetts)
849
850
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
851
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
852
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
853
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
854
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
855
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
856
857
INTERNALS:
858
859
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
860
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
861
(Martin Pool)
862
863
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
864
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
865
(John Arbash Meinel)
866
867
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
868
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
869
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
870
(John Arbash Meinel)
871
872
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
873
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
874
875
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
876
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
877
878
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
879
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
880
Bennetts)
881
882
BUG FIXES:
883
884
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
885
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
886
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
887
888
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
889
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
890
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
891
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
892
893
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
894
895
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
896
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
897
898
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
899
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
900
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
902
903
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
904
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
905
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
906
907
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
908
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
909
them as full references rather than integers.
910
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
911
912
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
913
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
914
915
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
916
917
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
918
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
919
920
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
921
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
922
923
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
924
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
925
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
926
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
927
928
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
929
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
930
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
931
932
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
933
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
934
935
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
936
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
937
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
938
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
939
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
940
941
TESTING:
942
943
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
944
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
945
946
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
947
948
INTERNALS:
949
950
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
951
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
952
(John Arbash Meinel)
953
954
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
955
956
IMPROVEMENTS:
957
958
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
959
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
960
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
961
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
962
963
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
964
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
965
966
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
967
968
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
969
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
970
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
971
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
972
973
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
974
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
975
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
976
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
977
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
978
979
API INCOMPATABILITY:
980
981
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
982
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
983
984
INTERNALS:
985
986
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
987
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
988
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
989
990
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
991
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
992
(John Arbash Meinel)
993
994
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
995
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
996
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
997
998
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
999
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1000
(Aaron Bentley)
1001
1002
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1003
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1004
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1005
1006
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1007
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1008
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1009
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1010
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1011
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1012
1013
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1014
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1015
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1016
(Robert Collins)
1017
1018
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1019
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1020
1021
BUG FIXES:
1022
1023
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1024
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1025
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1026
#63360, #66349)
1027
1028
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1029
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1030
1031
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1032
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1033
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1034
1035
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1036
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1037
1038
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1039
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1040
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1041
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1042
1043
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1044
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1045
1046
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1047
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1048
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1049
1050
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1051
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1052
1053
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1054
1055
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1056
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1057
#32054)
1058
1059
TESTING:
1060
1061
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1062
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1063
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1064
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1065
1066
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1067
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1068
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1069
1070
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
1071
1072
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1073
1074
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1075
1076
BUG FIXES:
1077
1078
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1079
1080
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1081
Arbash Meinel).
1082
1083
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1084
1085
IMPROVEMENTS:
1086
1087
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1088
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1089
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1090
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1091
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1092
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1093
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1094
1095
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1096
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1097
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1098
1099
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1100
1101
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1102
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1103
1104
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1105
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1106
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1107
(Robert Collins)
1108
1109
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1110
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1111
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1112
(John Arbash Meinel)
1113
1114
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1115
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1116
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1117
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1118
Pool)
1119
1120
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1121
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1122
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1123
(John Arbash Meinel)
1124
1125
BUG FIXES:
1126
1127
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1128
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1129
1130
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1131
1132
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1133
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1134
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1135
1136
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1137
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1138
1139
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1140
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1141
1142
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1144
1145
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1146
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1147
1148
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1149
1150
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1151
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1152
1153
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1154
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1155
1156
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1157
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1158
1159
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1160
(John Arbash Meinel)
1161
1162
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1163
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1164
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1165
1166
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1167
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1168
1169
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1170
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1171
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1172
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1173
1174
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1175
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1176
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1177
1178
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1179
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1180
1181
PORTABILITY:
1182
1183
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1184
1185
INTERNALS:
1186
1187
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1188
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1189
(John Arbash Meinel)
1190
1191
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1192
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1193
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1194
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1195
1196
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1197
(Andrew Bennetts)
1198
1199
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1200
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1201
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1202
1203
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1204
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1205
1206
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1207
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1208
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1209
1210
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1211
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1212
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1213
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1214
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1215
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1216
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1217
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1218
caller to repeat their request.
1219
(John Arbash Meinel)
1220
1221
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1222
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1223
1224
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1225
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1226
1227
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1228
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1229
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1230
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1231
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1232
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1233
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1234
1235
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1236
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1237
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1238
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1239
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1240
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1241
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1242
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1243
(Robert Collins)
1244
1245
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1246
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1247
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1248
1249
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1250
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1251
1252
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1253
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1254
1255
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1256
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1257
1258
TESTING:
1259
1260
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1261
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1262
1263
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1264
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1265
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1266
1267
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1268
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1269
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1270
1271
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1272
1273
IMPROVEMENTS:
1274
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1275
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1276
1277
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1278
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1279
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1280
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1281
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1282
1283
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1284
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1285
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1286
1287
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1288
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1289
1290
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1291
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1292
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1293
1294
BUG FIXES:
1295
1296
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1297
1298
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1299
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1300
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1301
1302
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1303
1304
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1305
1306
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1307
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1308
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1309
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1310
1311
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1312
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1313
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1314
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1315
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1316
1317
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1318
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1319
1320
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1321
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1322
1323
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1324
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1325
1326
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1327
in handling of revision properties.
1328
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1329
1330
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1331
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1332
1333
INTERNALS:
1334
1335
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1336
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1337
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1338
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1339
(John Arbash Meinel)
1340
1341
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1342
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1343
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1344
1345
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1346
1347
SURPRISES:
1348
1349
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1350
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1351
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1352
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1353
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1354
a more conservative list than the old default.
1355
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1356
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1357
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1358
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1359
1360
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1361
to more locations than just branch locations.
1362
(Aaron Bentley)
1363
1364
IMPROVEMENTS:
1365
1366
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1367
revno:N:branch. For example,
1368
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1369
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1370
1371
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1372
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1373
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1374
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1375
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1376
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1377
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1378
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1379
#42517, #42514)
1380
1381
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1382
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1383
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1384
(Malone #3507)
1385
1386
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1387
(Alexander Belchenko)
1388
1389
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1390
1391
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1392
(Robert Collins).
1393
1394
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1395
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1396
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1397
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1398
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1399
(John Arbash Meinel)
1400
1401
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1402
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1403
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1404
grained analysis of performance.
1405
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1406
1407
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1408
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1409
1410
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1411
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1412
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1413
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1414
file. (Robert Collins).
1415
1416
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1417
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1418
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1419
1420
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1421
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1422
Matthieu Moy)
1423
1424
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1425
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1426
1427
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1428
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1429
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1430
the same way you would apply another branch.
1431
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1432
1433
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1434
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1435
1436
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1437
(Michael Ellerman)
1438
1439
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1440
(Aaron Bentley)
1441
1442
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1443
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1444
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1445
1446
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1447
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1448
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1449
1450
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1451
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1452
1453
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1454
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1455
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1456
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1457
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1458
1459
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1460
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1461
1462
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1463
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1464
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1465
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1466
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1467
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1468
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1469
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1470
1471
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1472
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1473
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1474
1475
BUG FIXES:
1476
1477
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1478
tests not to run.
1479
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1480
1481
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1482
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1483
1484
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1485
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1486
1487
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1488
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1489
1490
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1491
1492
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1493
(John Arbash Meinel)
1494
1495
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1496
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1497
1498
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1499
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1500
and y.
1501
1502
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1503
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1504
1505
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1506
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1507
1508
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1509
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1510
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1511
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1512
1513
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1514
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1515
1516
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1517
1518
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1519
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1520
1521
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1522
1523
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1524
1525
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1526
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1527
1528
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1529
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1530
1531
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1532
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1533
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1534
1535
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1536
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1537
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1538
1539
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1540
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1541
1542
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1543
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1544
1545
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1546
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1547
1548
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1549
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1550
1551
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1552
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1553
1554
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1555
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1556
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1557
1558
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1559
1560
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1561
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1562
1563
INTERNALS:
1564
1565
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1566
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1567
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1568
1569
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1570
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1571
1572
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1573
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1574
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1575
1576
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1577
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1578
1579
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1580
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1581
(Martin Pool)
1582
1583
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1584
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1585
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1586
1587
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1588
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1589
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1590
1591
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1592
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1593
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1594
1595
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1596
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1597
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1598
1599
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1600
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1601
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1602
1603
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1604
instead. (Robert Collins)
1605
1606
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1607
1608
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1609
1610
BUG FIXES:
1611
1612
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1613
1614
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1615
1616
BUG FIXES:
1617
1618
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1619
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1620
1621
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1622
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1623
1624
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1625
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1626
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1627
1628
CHANGES:
1629
1630
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1631
1632
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1633
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1634
1635
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1636
1637
CHANGES:
1638
1639
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1640
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1641
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1642
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1643
1644
NEW FEATURES:
1645
1646
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1647
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1648
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1649
1650
INTERNALS:
1651
1652
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1653
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1654
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1655
1656
TESTING:
1657
1658
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1659
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1660
1661
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1662
1663
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1664
1665
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1666
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1667
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1668
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1669
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1670
will keep the same format.
1671
1672
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1673
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1674
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1675
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1676
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1677
1678
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1679
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1680
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1681
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1682
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1683
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1684
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1685
1686
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1687
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1688
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1689
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1690
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1691
1692
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1693
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1694
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1695
arrangement.
1696
1697
1698
IMPROVEMENTS:
1699
1700
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1701
convention. Paths now take the form::
1702
1703
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1704
or
1705
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1706
1707
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1708
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1709
1710
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1711
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1712
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1713
1714
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1715
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1716
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1717
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1718
1719
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1720
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1721
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1722
1723
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1724
1725
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1726
1727
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1728
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1729
commits::
1730
1731
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1732
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1733
| xargs bzr re-sign
1734
1735
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1736
1737
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1738
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1739
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1740
(Robert Collins)
1741
1742
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1743
1744
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1745
1746
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1747
'.moved'.
1748
1749
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1750
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1751
1752
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1753
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1754
Daniel Silverstone)
1755
1756
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1757
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1758
Martin Pool)
1759
1760
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1761
1762
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1763
1764
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1765
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1766
1767
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1768
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1769
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1770
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1771
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1772
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1773
1774
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1775
1776
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1777
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1778
(Robert Collins)
1779
1780
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1781
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1782
1783
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1784
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1785
1786
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1787
1788
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1789
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1790
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1791
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1792
specification by Martin Pool.
1793
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1794
1795
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1796
Belchenko)
1797
1798
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1799
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1800
1801
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1802
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1803
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1804
1805
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1806
1807
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1808
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1809
(Robert Collins)
1810
1811
CHANGES:
1812
1813
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1814
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1815
1816
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1817
1818
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1819
1820
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1821
(Olaf Conradi)
1822
1823
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1824
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1825
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1826
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1827
1828
INTERNALS:
1829
1830
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1831
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1832
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1833
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1834
1835
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1836
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1837
tried. (Martin Pool)
1838
1839
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1840
(Martin Pool)
1841
1842
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1843
1844
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1845
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1846
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1847
1848
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1849
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1850
1851
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1852
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1853
paths. (Robert Collins)
1854
1855
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
1856
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
1857
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
1858
1859
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
1860
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1861
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1862
1863
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1864
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
1865
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1866
1867
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
1868
(Olaf Conradi)
1869
1870
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
1871
(Olaf Conradi)
1872
1873
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1874
1875
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1876
1877
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
1878
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1879
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1880
(Robert Collins)
1881
1882
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
1883
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1884
1885
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1886
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1887
check. (Robert Collins)
1888
1889
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
1890
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1891
1892
TESTING:
1893
1894
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1895
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1896
1897
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
1898
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
1899
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1900
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1901
1902
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1903
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1904
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1905
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1906
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1907
1908
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1909
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1910
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1911
1912
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1913
1914
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
1915
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1916
1917
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
1918
1919
CHANGES:
1920
1921
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1922
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1923
1924
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1925
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1926
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1927
(Johan Rydberg)
1928
1929
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
1930
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1931
1932
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
1933
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
1934
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
1935
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
1936
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1937
1938
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1939
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1940
used. (Robert Collins)
1941
1942
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1943
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1944
(James Henstridge)
1945
1946
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1947
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1948
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1949
1950
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1951
ignore list.
1952
1953
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1954
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1955
1956
IMPROVEMENTS:
1957
1958
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1959
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1960
1961
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1962
1963
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1964
1965
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1966
tree. (Robert Collins)
1967
1968
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1969
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1970
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1971
(Robert Collins)
1972
1973
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1974
that they be kept.
1975
1976
* Tweaks to short log printing
1977
1978
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1979
(Aaron Bentley)
1980
1981
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1982
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1983
1984
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1985
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1986
1987
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1988
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1989
1990
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
1991
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1992
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1993
1994
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1995
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1996
1997
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1998
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1999
requests.
2000
2001
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2002
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2003
2004
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2005
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2006
2007
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2008
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2009
2010
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2011
(Denys Duchier)
2012
2013
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2014
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2015
2016
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2017
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2018
2019
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2020
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2021
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2022
2023
BUG FIXES:
2024
2025
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2026
2027
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2028
2029
* Error when run with -OO
2030
2031
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2032
(Martin Pool)
2033
2034
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2035
2036
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2037
2038
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2039
ignored by diff and status
2040
2041
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2042
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2043
2044
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2045
2046
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2047
2048
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2049
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2050
2051
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2052
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2053
2054
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2055
(Harald Meland)
2056
2057
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2058
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2059
2060
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2061
2062
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2063
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2064
2065
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2066
(Martin Pool)
2067
2068
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2069
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2070
2071
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2072
2073
TESTING:
2074
2075
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2076
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2077
2078
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2079
2080
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2081
2082
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2083
2084
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2085
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2086
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2087
2088
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2089
2090
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2091
(John Arbash Meinel)
2092
2093
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2094
2095
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2096
If adding a new test script please add that to
2097
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2098
2099
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2100
imported. (Martin Pool)
2101
2102
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2103
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2104
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2105
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2106
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2107
(Robert Collins)
2108
2109
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2110
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2111
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2112
2113
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2114
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2115
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2116
2117
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2118
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2119
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2120
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2121
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2122
(Robert Collins).
2123
2124
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2125
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2126
(Robert Collins).
2127
2128
INTERNALS:
2129
2130
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2131
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2132
2133
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2134
function. (Robert Collins)
2135
2136
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2137
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2138
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2139
2140
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2141
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2142
(Robert Collins)
2143
2144
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2145
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2146
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2147
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2148
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2149
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2150
version. (Robert Collins)
2151
2152
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2153
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2154
2155
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2156
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2157
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2158
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2159
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2160
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2161
2162
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2163
(Robert Collins)
2164
2165
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2166
2167
add()
2168
commit()
2169
move()
2170
rename_one()
2171
unknowns()
2172
2173
(Robert Collins)
2174
2175
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2176
2177
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2178
2179
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2180
Pool)
2181
2182
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2183
query method. (Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2186
(Denys Duchier)
2187
2188
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2189
(Michael Ellerman)
2190
2191
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2192
(Michael Ellerman)
2193
2194
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2195
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2196
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2197
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2198
2199
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2200
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2201
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2202
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2203
2204
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2205
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2206
2207
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28

IMPROVEMENTS:
2210
2211
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2212
(John A Meinel)
2213
2214
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2215
conflicts.
2216
(Aaron Bentley)
2217
2218
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2219
a separator, not ':'.
2220
(Aaron Bentley)
2221
2222
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2223
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2224
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2225
2226
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2227
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2228
(Robert Collins)
2229
2230
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2231
has been added that suppresses all output.
2232
2233
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2234
Adams.
2235
2236
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2237
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2238
2239
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2240
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2241
2242
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2243
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2244
2245
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2246
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2247
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2248
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2249
2250
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2251
2252
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2253
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2254
2255
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2256
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2257
2258
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2259
output directory, if one was supplied.
2260
2261
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2262
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2263
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2264
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2267
2268
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2269
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2270
2271
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2272
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2273
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2274
2275
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2276
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2277
2278
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2279
(Aaron Bentley)
2280
2281
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2282
2283
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2284
2285
TESTING:
2286
2287
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2288
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2289
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2290
2291
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2292
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2293
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2294
2295
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2296
is given. (Martin Pool)
2297
2298
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2299
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2300
file. (Robert Collins)
2301
2302
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2303
(Martin Pool)
2304
2305
INTERNALS:
2306
2307
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2308
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2309
representation. (Martin Pool).
2310
2311
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2312
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2313
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2314
2315
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2316
(Robert Collins)
2317
2318
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2319
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2320
Magnus Therning.
2321
2322
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2323
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2324
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2325
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2326
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2327
2328
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2329
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2330
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2331
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2332
python path. (Robert Collins)
2333
2334
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2335
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2336
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2337
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2338
2339
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2340
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2341
2342
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2343
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2344
(Robert Collins)
2345
2346
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2347
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2348
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2349
2350
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2351
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2352
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2353
2354
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2355
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2356
2357
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2358
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2359
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2360
(Robert Collins)
2361
2362
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2363
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2364
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2365
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2366
(Robert Collins)
2367
2368
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2369
(Robert Collins)
2370
2371
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2372
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2373
(Robert Collins)
2374
2375
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2376
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2377
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2378
2379
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2380
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2381
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2382
2383
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2384
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2385
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2386
2387
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2388
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2389
2390
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2391
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2392
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2393
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2394
caller. (Robert Collins)
2395
2396
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2397
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2398
(Robert Collins).
2399
2400
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2401
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2402
(Aaron Bentley)
2403
2404
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2405
2406
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2407
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2408
2409
BUG FIXES:
2410
2411
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2412
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2413
2414
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2415
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2416
2417
2418
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2419
2420
BUG FIXES:
2421
2422
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2423
allow directories to be listed.
2424
2425
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2426
upgrading branch format.
2427
2428
PERFORMANCE:
2429
2430
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2431
2432
2433
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2434
2435
NOTES:
2436
2437
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2438
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2439
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2440
high-latency connections.
2441
2442
BUG FIXES:
2443
2444
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2445
Rob Weir.
2446
2447
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2448
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2449
2450
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2451
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2452
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2453
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2454
2455
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2456
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2457
2458
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2459
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2460
2461
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2462
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2463
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2464
2465
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2466
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2467
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2468
Robert Collins
2469
2470
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2471
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2472
2473
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2474
different partial views of history.
2475
2476
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2477
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2478
2479
IMPROVEMENTS:
2480
2481
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2482
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2483
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2484
2485
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2486
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2487
'bzr upgrade'.
2488
2489
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2490
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2491
2492
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2493
Niemeyer.
2494
2495
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2496
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2497
2498
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2499
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2500
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2501
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2502
2503
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2504
2505
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2506
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2507
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2508
2509
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2510
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2511
2512
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2513
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2514
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2515
2516
2517
INTERNALS:
2518
2519
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2520
for your viewing pleasure.
2521
2522
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2523
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2524
2525
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2526
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2527
handling of such circumstances.
2528
2529
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2530
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2531
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2532
2533
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2534
2535
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2536
we call them revisions not patches.
2537
2538
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2539
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2540
2541
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2542
giving the revision *of that file*.
2543
2544
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2545
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2546
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2547
2548
TESTING:
2549
2550
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2551
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2552
2553
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2554
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2555
2556
2557
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2558
2559
BUG FIXES:
2560
2561
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2562
2563
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2564
(Robert Collins).
2565
2566
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2567
2568
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2569
2570
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2571
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2572
2573
IMPROVEMENTS:
2574
2575
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2576
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2577
2578
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2579
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2580
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2581
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2582
Robey Pointer
2583
2584
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2585
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2586
2587
INTERNALS:
2588
2589
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2590
2591
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2592
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2593
2594
2595
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2596
2597
IMPROVEMENTS:
2598
2599
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2600
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2601
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2602
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2603
Michael Ellerman.
2604
2605
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2606
(Nir Soffer)
2607
2608
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2609
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2610
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2611
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2612
for the operating system is still tried.
2613
2614
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2615
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2616
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2617
2618
2619
INTERNALS:
2620
2621
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2622
2623
BUG FIXES:
2624
2625
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2626
2627
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2628
branch.
2629
2630
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2631
read.
2632
2633
2634
PORTABILITY:
2635
2636
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2637
2638
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2639
2640
2641
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2642
2643
NEW FEATURES:
2644
2645
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2646
help with intelligent shell completion.
2647
2648
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2649
2650
2651
ENHANCEMENTS:
2652
2653
* Much better merge support.
2654
2655
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2656
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2657
like emacs smerge.
2658
2659
2660
BUG FIXES:
2661
2662
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2663
mention revisions that are not present.
2664
2665
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2666
2667
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2668
2669
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2670
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2671
2672
2673
CHANGES:
2674
2675
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2676
2677
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2678
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2679
--help themselves.
2680
2681
2682
LIBRARY:
2683
2684
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2685
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2686
libraries.
2687
2688
2689
2690
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2691
2692
NEW FEATURES:
2693
2694
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2695
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2696
2697
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2698
2699
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2700
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2701
2702
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2703
FOO.
2704
2705
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2706
2707
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2708
the Unix command.
2709
2710
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2711
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2712
2713
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2714
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2715
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2716
2717
2718
ENHANCEMENTS:
2719
2720
* Faster working tree operations.
2721
2722
2723
CHANGES:
2724
2725
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2726
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2727
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2728
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2729
2730
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2731
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2732
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2733
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2734
standard plugins directory.
2735
2736
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2737
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2738
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2739
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2740
2741
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2742
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2743
2744
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2745
disk.
2746
2747
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2748
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2749
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2750
2751
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2752
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2753
2754
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2755
line options must come before the command name because they
2756
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2757
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2758
it.
2759
2760
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2761
2762
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2763
is available with ``--short``.
2764
2765
2766
BUG FIXES:
2767
2768
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2769
2770
2771
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2772
2773
CHANGES:
2774
2775
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2776
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2777
2778
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2779
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2780
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2781
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2782
2783
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2784
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2785
with the ``--forward`` option.
2786
2787
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2788

2791
2792
ENHANCEMENTS:
2793

BUG FIXES:
2850
2851

2852
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2853
2854

2855
metacharacters.
2856
2857
2858
TESTING:

2861
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2862
the tests.
2863
2864
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2865
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2866
2867
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2868
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2869
2870
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2871
under a different version.

2881
Scott James Remnant.
2882
2883
* Better help messages for many commands.
2884

2886
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2887
2888
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
2889
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2890
2891
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
2892

2896
2897
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2898
2899
2900

2907
2908
ENHANCEMENTS:
2909

2911
basic. Patch from QuantumG.

2913
* More default ignore patterns.
2914
2915
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2916
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2917
2918
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2919
2920
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2921
by Jason Diamon.

2924
2925
2926
CHANGES:
2927
2928
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2929
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2930
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2931
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2932
there are DNS problems.
2933
2934
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2935
2936
2937

2946
2947
INTERNAL:
2948
2949
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2950
Matt Brubeck.

2955
directory and delete it when done.
2956
2957
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2958
2959
2960
PORTABILITY:
2961
2962

2966
from QuantumG.

2988
CHANGES:
2989
2990
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2991
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2992
will do for now.)
2993
2994
PORTABILITY:
2995
2996
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2997
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2998
Nielsen.

3032
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3033

3034
3035
* Performance improvements.
3036
3037
* New global --profile option.

3039
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3040
the root directory only.

3066
supported).
