BUGFIXES:
6
7
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
8
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
9
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
10
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
11
12
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
13
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
14
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
15
16
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
17
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
18
19
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
20
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
21
22
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
23
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
24
25
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
26
27
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
28
29
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
30
it could be recovered again.
31
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
32
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
33
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
34
but not delete it.
35
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
36
files.
37
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
38
(Marius Kruger, #82602)

IMPROVEMENTS:
41
42
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
43
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
44
45
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
46
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
47
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
48
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
49
50
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
51
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
52
53
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
54
tests with names that match that regular expression.
55
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
56
57
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
58
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
59
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
60
61
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
62
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
63
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
64
65
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
66
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
67
Robert Collins)
68
69
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
70
Pool)
71
72
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
73
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
74
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
75
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
76
77
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
78
(Robert Collins)
79
80
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
81
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
82
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
83
(Robert Collins)
84
85
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
86
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
87
88
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
89
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
90
91
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
92
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
93
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
94
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
95
(Robert Collins)
96
97
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
98
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
99
100
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
101
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
102
103
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
104
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
105
(Robert Collins, #107125).
106
107
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
108
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
109
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
110
111
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
112
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
113
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
114
115
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
116
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
117
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
118
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
119
120
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
121
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
122
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
123
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
124
125
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
126
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
127
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
128
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
129
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
130
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
131
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
132
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
133
header(s).
134
(Vincent Ladeuil).
135
136
INTERNALS:
137
138
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
139
code paths. (Robert Collins)
140
141
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
142
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
143
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
144
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
145
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
146
147
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
148
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
149
150
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
151
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
152
153
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
154
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
155
156
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
157
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
158
159
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
160
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
161
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
162
(Robert Collins).
163
164
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
165
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
166
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
167
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
168
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
169
(Robert Collins)
170
171
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
172
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
173
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
174
175
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
176
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
177
(Vincent Ladeuil).
178
179
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
180
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
181
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
182
(Vincent Ladeuil).
183
184
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
185
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
186
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
187
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
188
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
189
190
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
191
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
192
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
193
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
194
195
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
196
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
197
198
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
199
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
200
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
201
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
202
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
203
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
204
205
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
206
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
207
208
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
209
help. (Robert Collins)
210
211
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
212
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
213
214
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
215
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
216
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
217
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
218
(John Arbash Meinel)
219
220
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
221
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
222
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
223
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
224
useful. (Robert Collins)
225
226
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
227
(Andrew Bennetts)
228
229
BUGFIXES:
230
231
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
232
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
233
234
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
235
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
236
237
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
238
properly and is no longer beneficial.
239
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
240
241
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
242
(Aaron Bentley)
243
244
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
245
the file, and does it faster.
246
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
247
248
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
249
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
250
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
251
252
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
253
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
254
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
255
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
256
257
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
258
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
259
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
260
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
261
262
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
263
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
264
265
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
266
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
267
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
268
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
269
Arbash Meinel)
270
271
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
272
273
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
274
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
275
276
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
277
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
278
279
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
280
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
281
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
282
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
283
security hole.
284
(Vincent Ladeuil)
285
286
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
288
289
TESTING:
290
291
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
292
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
293
in running it. (Robert Collins)
294
295
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
296
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
297
298
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
299
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
300
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
301
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
302
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
303
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
304
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
305
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
306
307
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
308
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
309
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
310
311
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
312
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
313
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
314
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
315
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
316
access.
317
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
318
319
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
320
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
321
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
322
323
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
324
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
325
(Vincent Ladeuil)

bzr 0.15 2007-04-01
328
329
BUGFIXES:
330
331
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
332
(Aaron Bentley)
333
334
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
335
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
336
(Martin Pool)
337
338
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
339
340
CHANGES:
341
342
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
343
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
344
(Martin Pool)
345
346
IMPROVEMENTS:
347
348
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
349
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
350
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
351
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
352
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
353
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
354
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
355
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
356
path. (vila)
357
358
INTERNALS:
359
360
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
361
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
362
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
363
364
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
365
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
366
(Martin Pool)
367
368
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
369
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
370
(John Arbash Meinel)
371
372
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
373
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
374
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
375
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
376
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
377
378
BUGFIXES:
379
380
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
381
(vila, #92195)
382
383
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
384
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
385
386
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
387
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
388
389
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
390
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
391
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
392
393
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
394
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
395
396
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
397
last-changed-revision for directories. The
398
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
399
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
400
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
401
402
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
403
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
404
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
405
406
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
407
(vila, #88780)

409
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
410
411
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
412
413
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
414
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
415
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
416
417
IMPROVEMENTS:
418
419
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
420
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
421
422
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
423
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
424
425
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
426
427
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
428
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
429
430
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
431
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
432
433
INTERNALS:
434
435
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.

BUGFIXES:
439
440
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
441
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
442
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
443
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
444
445
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
446
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
447
448
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
449
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
450
451
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
452
(Marien Zwart)
453
454
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
455

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
459
460
SURPRISES:
461
462
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
463
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
464
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
465
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
466
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
467
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
468
469
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
470
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
471
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
472
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
473
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
474
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
475
development.
476
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
477
478
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
479
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
480
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
481
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
482
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
483
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
484
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
485
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
486
487
IMPROVEMENTS:
488
489
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
490
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
491
492
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
493
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
494
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
495
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
496
does exist.
497
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
498
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
499
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
500
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
501
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
502
503
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
504
(Aaron Bentley)
505
506
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
507
(Aaron Bentley)
508
509
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
510
(Robert Collins)
511
512
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
513
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
514
(Aaron Bentley)
515
516
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
517
(Aaron Bentley)
518
519
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
520
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
521
522
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
523
directory. (Martin Pool)
524
525
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
526
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
527
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
528
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
529
530
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
531
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
532
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
533
in docs/configuration.txt.
534
535
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
536
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
537
bind location.
538
539
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
540
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
541
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
542
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
543
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
544
repositories. (Martin Pool)
545
546
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
547
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
548
549
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
550
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
551
552
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
553
(Aaron Bentley)
554
555
INTERNALS:
556
557
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
558
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
559
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
560
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
561
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
562
(John Arbash Meinel)
563
564
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
565
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
566
(Aaron Bentley)
567
568
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
569
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
570
(John Arbash Meinel)
571
572
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
573
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
574
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
575
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
576
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
577
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
578
579
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
580
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
581
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
582
583
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
584
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
585
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
586
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
587
repository.
588
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
589
590
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
591
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
592
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
593
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
594
595
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
596
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
597
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
598
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
599
600
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
601
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
602
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
603
604
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
605
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
606
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
607
608
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
609
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
610
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
611
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
612
613
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
614
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
615
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
616
617
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
618
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
619
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
620
621
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
622
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
623
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
624
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
625
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
626
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
627
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
628
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
629
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

631
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
632
633
BUGFIXES:
634
635
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
636
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
637
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
638
639
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
640
(Aaron Bentley)
641
642
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
643
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
644
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
645
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
646
647
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
648
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
649
#83954).
650
651
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
652
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
653
654
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
655
656
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
657
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
658
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
659
660
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
661
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
662
663
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
664
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
665
666
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
667
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
668
669
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
670
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
671
672
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
673
674
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
675
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
676
677
TESTING:
678
679
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
680
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

685
IMPROVEMENTS:
686
687
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
688
689
BUG FIXES:
690
691
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
692
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
693
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
694
695
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
696
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
697
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
698
699
700
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
701
702
IMPROVEMENTS:
703
704
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
705
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
706
server, then you can write over the http connection.
707
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
708
709
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
710
(Marius Kruger)
711
712
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
713
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
714
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
715
716
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
717
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
718
719
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
720
(Aaron Bentley)
721
722
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
723
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
724
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
725
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
726
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
727
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
728
729
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
730
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
731
should enable you to do::
732
733
[/home/user/project]
734
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
735
push_location:policy = appendpath
736
737
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
738
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
739
(James Henstridge)
740
741
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
742
for each file. For example::
743
744
$ bzr status --short
745
A foo
746
A bar
747
D baz
748
? wooley
749
750
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
751
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
752
753
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
754
755
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
756
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
757
758
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
759
760
INTERNALS:
761
762
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
763
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
764
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
765
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
766
767
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
768
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
769
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
770
771
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
772
773
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
774
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
775
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
776
(Alexander Belchenko)
777
778
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
779
Pool)
780
781
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
782
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
783
784
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
785
786
BUG FIXES:
787
788
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
789
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
790
791
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
792
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
793
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
794
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
795
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
796
797
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
798
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
799
800
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
801
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
802
803
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
804
matcher.
805
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
806
807
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
808
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
809
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
810
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
811
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
812
813
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
814
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
815
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
816
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
817
818
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
819
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
820
821
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
822
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
823
824
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
825
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
838
839
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
840
tree from a branch.
841
(Daniel Silverstone)
842
843
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
844
operations are substantially faster.
845
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
846
847
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
848
tree from some other url. For example:
849
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
850
(Daniel Silverstone)
851
852
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
853
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
854
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
855
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
856
857
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
858
(Andrew Bennetts)
859
860
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
861
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
862
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
863
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
864
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
865
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
866
867
INTERNALS:
868
869
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
870
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
871
(Martin Pool)
872
873
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
874
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
875
(John Arbash Meinel)
876
877
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
878
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
879
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
880
(John Arbash Meinel)
881
882
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
883
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
884
885
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
886
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
887
888
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
889
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
890
Bennetts)
891
892
BUG FIXES:
893
894
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
895
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
896
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
897
898
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
899
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
900
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
901
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
902
903
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
904
905
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
906
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
907
908
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
909
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
910
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
912
913
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
914
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
915
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)

* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
918
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
919
them as full references rather than integers.
920
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
921
922
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
923
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
924
925
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
926
927
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
928
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
929
930
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
931
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
932
933
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
934
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
935
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
936
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
937
938
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
939
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
940
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
941
942
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
943
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
944
945
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
946
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
947
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
948
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
949
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
950
951
TESTING:
952
953
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
954
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
955
956
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
957
958
INTERNALS:
959
960
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
961
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
962
(John Arbash Meinel)
963
964
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
965
966
IMPROVEMENTS:
967
968
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
969
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
970
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
971
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
972
973
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
974
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
975
976
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
977
978
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
979
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
980
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
981
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
982
983
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
984
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
985
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
986
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
987
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
988
989
API INCOMPATABILITY:
990
991
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
992
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
993
994
INTERNALS:
995
996
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
997
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
998
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
999
1000
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1001
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1002
(John Arbash Meinel)
1003
1004
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1005
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1006
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1007
1008
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1009
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1010
(Aaron Bentley)
1011
1012
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1013
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1014
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1015
1016
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1017
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1018
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1019
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1020
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1021
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1022
1023
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1024
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1025
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1026
(Robert Collins)
1027
1028
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1029
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1030
1031
BUG FIXES:
1032
1033
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1034
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1035
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1036
#63360, #66349)
1037
1038
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1039
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1040
1041
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1042
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1043
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1044
1045
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1046
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1047
1048
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1049
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1050
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1051
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1052
1053
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1054
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1055
1056
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1057
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1058
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1059
1060
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1061
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1062
1063
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1064
1065
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1066
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1067
#32054)
1068
1069
TESTING:
1070
1071
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1072
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1073
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1074
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1075
1076
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1077
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1078
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1079
1080
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
1081
1082
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1083
1084
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1085
1086
BUG FIXES:
1087
1088
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1089
1090
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1091
Arbash Meinel).
1092
1093
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1094
1095
IMPROVEMENTS:
1096
1097
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1098
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1099
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1100
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1101
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1102
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1103
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1104
1105
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1106
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1107
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1108
1109
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1110
1111
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1112
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1113
1114
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1115
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1116
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1117
(Robert Collins)
1118
1119
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1120
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1121
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1122
(John Arbash Meinel)
1123
1124
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1125
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1126
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1127
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1128
Pool)
1129
1130
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1131
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1132
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1133
(John Arbash Meinel)
1134
1135
BUG FIXES:
1136
1137
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1138
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1139
1140
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1141
1142
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1143
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1144
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1145
1146
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1147
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1148
1149
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1150
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1151
1152
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1154
1155
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1156
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1157
1158
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1159
1160
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1161
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1162
1163
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1164
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1165
1166
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1167
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1168
1169
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1170
(John Arbash Meinel)
1171
1172
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1173
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1174
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1175
1176
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1177
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1178
1179
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1180
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1181
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1182
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1183
1184
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1185
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1186
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1187
1188
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1189
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1190
1191
PORTABILITY:
1192
1193
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1194
1195
INTERNALS:
1196
1197
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1198
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1199
(John Arbash Meinel)
1200
1201
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1202
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1203
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1204
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1205
1206
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1207
(Andrew Bennetts)
1208
1209
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1210
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1211
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1212
1213
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1214
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1215
1216
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1217
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1218
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1219
1220
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1221
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1222
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1223
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1224
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1225
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1226
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1227
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1228
caller to repeat their request.
1229
(John Arbash Meinel)
1230
1231
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1232
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1233
1234
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1235
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1236
1237
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1238
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1239
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1240
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1241
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1242
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1243
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1244
1245
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1246
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1247
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1248
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1249
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1250
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1251
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1252
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1253
(Robert Collins)
1254
1255
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1256
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1257
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1258
1259
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1260
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1261
1262
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1263
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1264
1265
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1266
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1267
1268
TESTING:
1269
1270
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1271
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1272
1273
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1274
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1275
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1276
1277
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1278
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1279
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1280
1281
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1282
1283
IMPROVEMENTS:
1284
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1285
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1286
1287
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1288
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1289
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1290
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1291
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1292
1293
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1294
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1295
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1296
1297
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1298
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1299
1300
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1301
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1302
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1303
1304
BUG FIXES:
1305
1306
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1307
1308
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1309
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1310
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1311
1312
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1313
1314
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1315
1316
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1317
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1318
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1319
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1320
1321
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1322
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1323
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1324
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1325
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1326
1327
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1328
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1329
1330
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1331
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1332
1333
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1334
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1335
1336
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1337
in handling of revision properties.
1338
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1339
1340
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1341
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1342
1343
INTERNALS:
1344
1345
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1346
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1347
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1348
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1349
(John Arbash Meinel)
1350
1351
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1352
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1353
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1354
1355
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1356
1357
SURPRISES:
1358
1359
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1360
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1361
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1362
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1363
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1364
a more conservative list than the old default.
1365
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1366
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1367
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1368
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1369
1370
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1371
to more locations than just branch locations.
1372
(Aaron Bentley)
1373
1374
IMPROVEMENTS:
1375
1376
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1377
revno:N:branch. For example,
1378
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1379
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1380
1381
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1382
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1383
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1384
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1385
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1386
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1387
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1388
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1389
#42517, #42514)
1390
1391
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1392
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1393
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1394
(Malone #3507)
1395
1396
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1397
(Alexander Belchenko)
1398
1399
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1400
1401
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1402
(Robert Collins).
1403
1404
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1405
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1406
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1407
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1408
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1409
(John Arbash Meinel)
1410
1411
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1412
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1413
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1414
grained analysis of performance.
1415
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1416
1417
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1418
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1419
1420
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1421
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1422
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1423
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1424
file. (Robert Collins).
1425
1426
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1427
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1428
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1429
1430
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1431
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1432
Matthieu Moy)
1433
1434
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1435
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1436
1437
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1438
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1439
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1440
the same way you would apply another branch.
1441
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1442
1443
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1444
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1445
1446
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1447
(Michael Ellerman)
1448
1449
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1450
(Aaron Bentley)
1451
1452
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1453
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1454
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1455
1456
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1457
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1458
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1459
1460
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1461
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1462
1463
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1464
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1465
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1466
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1467
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1468
1469
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1470
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1471
1472
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1473
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1474
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1475
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1476
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1477
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1478
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1479
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1480
1481
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1482
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1483
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1484
1485
BUG FIXES:
1486
1487
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1488
tests not to run.
1489
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1490
1491
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1492
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1493
1494
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1495
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1496
1497
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1498
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1499
1500
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1501
1502
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1503
(John Arbash Meinel)
1504
1505
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1506
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1507
1508
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1509
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1510
and y.
1511
1512
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1513
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1514
1515
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1516
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1517
1518
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1519
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1520
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1521
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1522
1523
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1524
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1525
1526
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1527
1528
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1529
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1530
1531
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1532
1533
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1534
1535
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1536
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1537
1538
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1539
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1540
1541
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1542
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1543
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1544
1545
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1546
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1547
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1548
1549
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1550
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1551
1552
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1553
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1554
1555
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1556
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1557
1558
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1559
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1560
1561
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1562
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1563
1564
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1565
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1566
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1567
1568
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1569
1570
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1571
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1572
1573
INTERNALS:
1574
1575
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1576
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1577
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1578
1579
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1580
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1581
1582
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1583
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1584
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1585
1586
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1587
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1588
1589
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1590
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1591
(Martin Pool)
1592
1593
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1594
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1595
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1596
1597
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1598
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1599
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1600
1601
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1602
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1603
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1604
1605
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1606
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1607
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1608
1609
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1610
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1611
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1612
1613
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1614
instead. (Robert Collins)
1615
1616
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1617
1618
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1619
1620
BUG FIXES:
1621
1622
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1623
1624
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1625
1626
BUG FIXES:
1627
1628
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1629
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1630
1631
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1632
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1633
1634
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1635
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1636
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1637
1638
CHANGES:
1639
1640
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1641
1642
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1643
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1644
1645
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1646
1647
CHANGES:
1648
1649
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1650
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1651
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1652
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1653
1654
NEW FEATURES:
1655
1656
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1657
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1658
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1659
1660
INTERNALS:
1661
1662
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1663
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1664
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1665
1666
TESTING:
1667
1668
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1669
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1670
1671
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1672
1673
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1674
1675
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1676
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1677
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1678
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1679
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1680
will keep the same format.
1681
1682
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1683
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1684
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1685
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1686
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1687
1688
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1689
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1690
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1691
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1692
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1693
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1694
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1695
1696
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1697
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1698
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1699
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1700
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1701
1702
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1703
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1704
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1705
arrangement.
1706
1707
1708
IMPROVEMENTS:
1709
1710
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1711
convention. Paths now take the form::
1712
1713
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1714
or
1715
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1716
1717
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1718
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1719
1720
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1721
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1722
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1723
1724
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1725
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1726
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1727
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1728
1729
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1730
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1731
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1732
1733
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1734
1735
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1736
1737
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1738
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1739
commits::
1740
1741
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1742
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1743
| xargs bzr re-sign
1744
1745
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1746
1747
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1748
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1749
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1750
(Robert Collins)
1751
1752
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1753
1754
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1755
1756
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1757
'.moved'.
1758
1759
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1760
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1761
1762
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1763
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1764
Daniel Silverstone)
1765
1766
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1767
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1768
Martin Pool)
1769
1770
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1771
1772
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1773
1774
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1775
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1776
1777
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1778
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1779
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1780
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1781
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1782
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1783
1784
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1785
1786
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1787
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1788
(Robert Collins)
1789
1790
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1791
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1792
1793
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1794
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1795
1796
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1797
1798
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1799
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1800
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1801
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1802
specification by Martin Pool.
1803
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1804
1805
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1806
Belchenko)
1807
1808
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1809
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1810
1811
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1812
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1813
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1814
1815
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1816
1817
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1818
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1819
(Robert Collins)
1820
1821
CHANGES:
1822
1823
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1824
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1825
1826
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1827
1828
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1829
1830
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1831
(Olaf Conradi)
1832
1833
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1834
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1835
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1836
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1837
1838
INTERNALS:
1839
1840
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1841
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1842
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1843
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1844
1845
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1846
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1847
tried. (Martin Pool)
1848
1849
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1850
(Martin Pool)
1851
1852
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1853
1854
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1855
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1856
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1857
1858
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1859
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1860
1861
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1862
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1863
paths. (Robert Collins)
1864
1865
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
1866
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
1867
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
1868
1869
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
1870
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1871
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1872
1873
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1874
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
1875
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1876
1877
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
1878
(Olaf Conradi)
1879
1880
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
1881
(Olaf Conradi)
1882
1883
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1884
1885
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1886
1887
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
1888
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1889
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1890
(Robert Collins)
1891
1892
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
1893
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1894
1895
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1896
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1897
check. (Robert Collins)
1898
1899
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
1900
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1901
1902
TESTING:
1903
1904
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1905
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1906
1907
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
1908
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
1909
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1910
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1911
1912
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1913
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1914
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1915
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1916
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1917
1918
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1919
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1920
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1921
1922
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1923
1924
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
1925
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1926
1927
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09

1929
CHANGES:
1930
1931
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1932
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1933
1934
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1935
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1936
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1937
(Johan Rydberg)
1938
1939
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
1940
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1941
1942
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
1943
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
1944
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
1945
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
1946
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1947
1948
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1949
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1950
used. (Robert Collins)
1951
1952
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1953
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1954
(James Henstridge)
1955
1956
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1957
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1958
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1959
1960
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1961
ignore list.
1962
1963
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1964
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1965
1966
IMPROVEMENTS:
1967
1968
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1969
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1970
1971
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1972
1973
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1974
1975
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1976
tree. (Robert Collins)
1977
1978
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1979
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1980
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1981
(Robert Collins)
1982
1983
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1984
that they be kept.
1985
1986
* Tweaks to short log printing
1987
1988
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1989
(Aaron Bentley)
1990
1991
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1992
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1993
1994
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1995
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1996
1997
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1998
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1999
2000
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2001
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2002
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2003
2004
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2005
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2006
2007
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2008
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2009
requests.
2010
2011
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2012
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2013
2014
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2015
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2016
2017
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2018
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2019
2020
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2021
(Denys Duchier)
2022
2023
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2024
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2025
2026
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2027
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2028
2029
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2030
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2031
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2032
2033
BUG FIXES:
2034
2035
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2036
2037
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2038
2039
* Error when run with -OO
2040
2041
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2042
(Martin Pool)
2043
2044
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2045
2046
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2047
2048
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2049
ignored by diff and status
2050
2051
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2052
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2053
2054
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2055
2056
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2057
2058
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2059
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2060
2061
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2062
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2063
2064
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2065
(Harald Meland)
2066
2067
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2068
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2069
2070
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2071
2072
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2073
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2074
2075
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2076
(Martin Pool)
2077
2078
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2079
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2080
2081
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2082
2083
TESTING:
2084
2085
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2086
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2087
2088
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2089
2090
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2091
2092
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2093
2094
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2095
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2096
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2097
2098
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2099
2100
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2101
(John Arbash Meinel)
2102
2103
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2104
2105
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2106
If adding a new test script please add that to
2107
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2108
2109
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2110
imported. (Martin Pool)
2111
2112
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2113
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2114
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2115
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2116
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2117
(Robert Collins)
2118
2119
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2120
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2121
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2122
2123
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2124
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2125
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2126
2127
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2128
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2129
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2130
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2131
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2132
(Robert Collins).
2133
2134
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2135
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2136
(Robert Collins).
2137
2138
INTERNALS:
2139
2140
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2141
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2142
2143
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2144
function. (Robert Collins)
2145
2146
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2147
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2148
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2149
2150
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2151
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2152
(Robert Collins)
2153
2154
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2155
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2156
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2157
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2158
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2159
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2160
version. (Robert Collins)
2161
2162
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2163
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2164
2165
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2166
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2167
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2168
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2169
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2170
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2171
2172
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2173
(Robert Collins)
2174
2175
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2176
2177
add()
2178
commit()
2179
move()
2180
rename_one()
2181
unknowns()
2182
2183
(Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2186
2187
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2188
2189
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2190
Pool)
2191
2192
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2193
query method. (Robert Collins)
2194
2195
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2196
(Denys Duchier)
2197
2198
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2199
(Michael Ellerman)
2200
2201
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2202
(Michael Ellerman)
2203
2204
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2205
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2206
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2207
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2208
2209
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2210
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2211
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2212
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2215
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2216

IMPROVEMENTS:
2220
2221
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2222
(John A Meinel)
2223
2224
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2225
conflicts.
2226
(Aaron Bentley)
2227
2228
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2229
a separator, not ':'.
2230
(Aaron Bentley)
2231
2232
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2233
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2234
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2235
2236
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2237
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2238
(Robert Collins)
2239
2240
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2241
has been added that suppresses all output.
2242
2243
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2244
Adams.
2245
2246
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2247
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2248
2249
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2250
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2253
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2254
2255
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2256
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2257
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2258
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2259
2260
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2261
2262
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2263
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2264
2265
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2266
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2267
2268
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2269
output directory, if one was supplied.
2270
2271
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2272
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2273
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2274
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2275
2276
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2277
2278
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2279
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2280
2281
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2282
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2283
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2284
2285
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2286
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2287
2288
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2289
(Aaron Bentley)
2290
2291
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2292
2293
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2294
2295
TESTING:
2296
2297
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2298
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2299
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2300
2301
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2302
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2303
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2304
2305
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2306
is given. (Martin Pool)
2307
2308
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2309
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2310
file. (Robert Collins)
2311
2312
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2313
(Martin Pool)
2314
2315
INTERNALS:
2316
2317
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2318
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2319
representation. (Martin Pool).
2320
2321
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2322
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2323
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2324
2325
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2326
(Robert Collins)
2327
2328
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2329
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2330
Magnus Therning.
2331
2332
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2333
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2334
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2335
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2336
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2337
2338
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2339
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2340
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2341
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2342
python path. (Robert Collins)
2343
2344
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2345
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2346
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2347
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2348
2349
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2350
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2351
2352
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2353
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2354
(Robert Collins)
2355
2356
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2357
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2358
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2359
2360
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2361
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2362
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2363
2364
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2365
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2366
2367
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2368
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2369
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2370
(Robert Collins)
2371
2372
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2373
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2374
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2375
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2376
(Robert Collins)
2377
2378
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2379
(Robert Collins)
2380
2381
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2382
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2383
(Robert Collins)
2384
2385
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2386
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2387
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2388
2389
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2390
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2391
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2392
2393
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2394
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2395
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2396
2397
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2398
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2399
2400
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2401
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2402
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2403
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2404
caller. (Robert Collins)
2405
2406
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2407
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2408
(Robert Collins).
2409
2410
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2411
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2412
(Aaron Bentley)
2413
2414
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2415
2416
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2417
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2418
2419
BUG FIXES:
2420
2421
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2422
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2423
2424
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2425
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2426
2427
2428
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2429
2430
BUG FIXES:
2431
2432
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2433
allow directories to be listed.
2434
2435
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2436
upgrading branch format.
2437
2438
PERFORMANCE:
2439
2440
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2441
2442
2443
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2444
2445
NOTES:
2446
2447
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2448
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2449
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2450
high-latency connections.
2451
2452
BUG FIXES:
2453
2454
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2455
Rob Weir.
2456
2457
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2458
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2459
2460
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2461
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2462
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2463
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2464
2465
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2466
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2467
2468
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2469
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2470
2471
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2472
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2473
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2474
2475
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2476
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2477
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2478
Robert Collins
2479
2480
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2481
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2482
2483
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2484
different partial views of history.
2485
2486
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2487
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2488
2489
IMPROVEMENTS:
2490
2491
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2492
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2493
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2494
2495
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2496
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2497
'bzr upgrade'.
2498
2499
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2500
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2501
2502
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2503
Niemeyer.
2504
2505
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2506
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2507
2508
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2509
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2510
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2511
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2512
2513
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2514
2515
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2516
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2517
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2518
2519
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2520
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2521
2522
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2523
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2524
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2525
2526
2527
INTERNALS:
2528
2529
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2530
for your viewing pleasure.
2531
2532
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2533
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2534
2535
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2536
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2537
handling of such circumstances.
2538
2539
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2540
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2541
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2542
2543
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2544
2545
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2546
we call them revisions not patches.
2547
2548
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2549
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2550
2551
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2552
giving the revision *of that file*.
2553
2554
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2555
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2556
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2557
2558
TESTING:
2559
2560
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2561
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2562
2563
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2564
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2565
2566
2567
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2568
2569
BUG FIXES:
2570
2571
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2572
2573
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2574
(Robert Collins).
2575
2576
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2577
2578
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2579
2580
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2581
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2582
2583
IMPROVEMENTS:
2584
2585
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2586
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2587
2588
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2589
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2590
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2591
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2592
Robey Pointer
2593
2594
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2595
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2596
2597
INTERNALS:
2598
2599
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2600
2601
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2602
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2603
2604
2605
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2606
2607
IMPROVEMENTS:
2608
2609
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2610
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2611
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2612
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2613
Michael Ellerman.
2614
2615
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2616
(Nir Soffer)
2617
2618
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2619
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2620
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2621
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2622
for the operating system is still tried.
2623
2624
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2625
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2626
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2627
2628
2629
INTERNALS:
2630
2631
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2632
2633
BUG FIXES:
2634
2635
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2636
2637
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2638
branch.
2639
2640
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2641
read.
2642
2643
2644
PORTABILITY:
2645
2646
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2647
2648
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2649
2650
2651
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2652
2653
NEW FEATURES:
2654
2655
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2656
help with intelligent shell completion.
2657
2658
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2659
2660
2661
ENHANCEMENTS:
2662
2663
* Much better merge support.
2664
2665
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2666
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2667
like emacs smerge.
2668
2669
2670
BUG FIXES:
2671
2672
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2673
mention revisions that are not present.
2674
2675
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2676
2677
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2678
2679
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2680
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2681
2682
2683
CHANGES:
2684
2685
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2686
2687
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2688
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2689
--help themselves.
2690
2691
2692
LIBRARY:
2693
2694
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2695
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2696
libraries.
2697
2698
2699
2700
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2701
2702
NEW FEATURES:
2703
2704
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2705
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2706
2707
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2708
2709
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2710
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2711
2712
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2713
FOO.
2714
2715
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2716
2717
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2718
the Unix command.
2719
2720
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2721
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2722
2723
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2724
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2725
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2726
2727
2728
ENHANCEMENTS:
2729
2730
* Faster working tree operations.
2731
2732
2733
CHANGES:
2734
2735
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2736
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2737
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2738
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2739
2740
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2741
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2742
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2743
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2744
standard plugins directory.
2745
2746
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2747
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2748
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2749
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2750
2751
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2752
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2753
2754
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2755
disk.
2756
2757
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2758
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2759
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2760
2761
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2762
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2763
2764
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2765
line options must come before the command name because they
2766
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2767
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2768
it.
2769
2770
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2771
2772
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2773
is available with ``--short``.
2774
2775
2776
BUG FIXES:
2777
2778
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2779
2780
2781
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2782
2783
CHANGES:
2784
2785
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2786
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2787
2788
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2789
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2790
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2791
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2792
2793
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2794
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2795
with the ``--forward`` option.
2796
2797
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2798
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2799
field.
2800
2801
2802
ENHANCEMENTS:
2803
2804
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2805
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2806
2807
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2808
2809
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2810
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2811
2812
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2813
2814
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2815
either read or write mode.
2816
2817
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2818
2819
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2820
affected that file.
2821
2822
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2823
2824
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2825
suggested by LarstiQ.
2826
2827
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2828
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2829
2830
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2831
a filename.
2832
2833
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2834
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2835
2836
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2837
haven't changed since the previous time.
2838
2839
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2840
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2841
2842
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2843
2844
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2845
2846
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2847
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2848
2849
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2850
options through to an external GNU diff.
2851
2852
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2853
their contents.
2854
2855
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2856
from a branch.
2857
2858
2859
BUG FIXES:
2860
2861
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2862
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2863
2864
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2865
metacharacters.
2866
2867
2868
TESTING:
2869
2870
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2871
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2872
the tests.
2873
2874
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2875
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2876
2877
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2878
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2879
2880
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2881
under a different version.
2882
2883
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2884
2885
2886
INTERNAL:
2887
2888
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2889
2890
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2891
Scott James Remnant.
2892
2893
* Better help messages for many commands.
2894
2895
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
2896
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2897
2898
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
2899
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2900
2901
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
2902
2903
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
2904
2905
* New AtomicFile class.
2906
2907
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2908
2909
2910
PORTABILITY:
2911
2912
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2913
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2917
2918
ENHANCEMENTS:
2919
2920
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2921
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2922
2923
* More default ignore patterns.
2924
2925
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2926
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2927
2928
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2929
2930
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2931
by Jason Diamon.
2932
2933
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2934
2935
2936
CHANGES:
2937
2938
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2939
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2940
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2941
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2942
there are DNS problems.
2943
2944
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2945
2946
2947
BUG FIXES:
2948
2949
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2950
2951
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2952
2953
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
2954
trailing newlines properly.
2955
2956
2957
INTERNAL:
2958
2959
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2960
Matt Brubeck.
2961
2962
* More tests in test.sh.
2963
2964
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2965
directory and delete it when done.
2966
2967
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2968
2969
2970
PORTABILITY:
2971
2972
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2973
Bennetts.
2974
2975
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2976
from QuantumG.

* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2992
directory.

2994
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2995
2996
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2997
2998
CHANGES:
2999
3000
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3001
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3002
will do for now.)
3003
3004
PORTABILITY:
3005
3006
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3007
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3008
Nielsen.
3009
3010
INTERNAL:

ENHANCEMENTS:
3029
3030

3031
3032

3033
rather than replacing it.
3034
3035
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3036
3037
* More help topics.
3038
3039
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3040
branch.
3041
3042
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3043
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3044
3045
* Performance improvements.
3046
3047
* New global --profile option.
3048
3049
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3050
the root directory only.
3051
3052

3064
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3065
3066

3073
installation easier.
3074
3075

3076
supported).
3077
3078
