5
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
11
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
12
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
14
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
15
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
17
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
18
the repository (Robert Collins)
20
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
21
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
22
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
23
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
24
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
26
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
27
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
29
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
30
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
33
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
34
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
35
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
37
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
38
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
39
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
44
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
45
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
46
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
47
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
51
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
52
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
53
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
54
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
56
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
57
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
58
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
60
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
61
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
62
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
63
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
64
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
65
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
66
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
68
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
69
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
70
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
71
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
76
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
77
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
78
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
85
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
88
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
92
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
93
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
95
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
96
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
97
(James Westby, #122656)
99
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
100
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
102
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
103
authentication header.
104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
106
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
108
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
109
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
111
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
113
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
116
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
117
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
120
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
121
individually and as part of revision ranges.
124
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
125
(Martin Pool, #109169)
127
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
130
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
131
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
133
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
135
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
139
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
140
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
141
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
142
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
143
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
144
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
146
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
147
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
148
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
150
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
153
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
154
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
156
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
157
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
159
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
160
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
162
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
163
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
164
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
165
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
166
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
168
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
169
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
171
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
172
can be slow it is useful feedback).
173
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
175
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
176
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
178
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
180
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
181
output. (Aaron Bentley)
183
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
184
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
187
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
190
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
191
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
193
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
194
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
196
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
197
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
199
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
201
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
202
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
204
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
224
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
225
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
226
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
229
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
231
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
232
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
233
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
235
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
236
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
238
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
239
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
241
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
245
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
247
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
249
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
251
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
254
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
257
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
258
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
259
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
261
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
263
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
264
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
265
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
267
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
268
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
270
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
271
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
272
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
274
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
275
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
276
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
278
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
279
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
280
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
282
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
283
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
286
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
287
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
289
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
290
(Alexander Belchenko)
294
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
295
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
296
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
297
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
299
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
300
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
301
testing. (Robert Collins)
303
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
304
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
306
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
307
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
308
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
309
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
310
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
311
attribute during the test parameterisation in
312
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
314
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
315
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
316
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
317
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
319
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
320
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
322
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
323
avoid useless cloning.
324
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
331
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
332
(Colin Watson, #120647)
334
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
335
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
338
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
340
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
342
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
343
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
344
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
345
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
346
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
347
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
348
and unlock() like so::
350
work_tree.lock_read()
352
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
357
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
358
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
360
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
361
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
362
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
364
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
365
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
366
too. (Robert Collins)
370
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
371
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
374
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
377
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
378
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
380
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
381
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
382
understanding what changes have occurred
383
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
385
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
386
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
387
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
389
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
390
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
391
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
392
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
394
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
399
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
400
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
401
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
402
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
403
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
405
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
406
based on split paths, not just string paths.
407
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
409
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
412
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
414
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
416
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
417
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
419
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
420
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
422
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
423
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
425
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
426
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
428
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
429
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
431
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
432
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
433
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
439
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
440
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
441
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
442
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
443
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
445
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
446
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
447
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
449
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
450
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
454
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
455
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
456
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
458
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
459
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
460
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
461
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
463
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
467
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
468
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
469
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
470
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
472
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
473
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
474
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
476
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
477
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
479
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
480
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
482
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
483
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
485
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
487
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
489
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
490
it could be recovered again.
491
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
492
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
493
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
495
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
497
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
498
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
502
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
503
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
505
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
506
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
507
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
508
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
510
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
511
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
513
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
514
tests with names that match that regular expression.
515
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
517
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
518
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
519
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
521
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
522
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
523
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
525
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
526
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
529
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
532
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
533
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
534
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
535
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
537
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
540
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
541
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
542
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
545
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
546
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
548
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
549
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
551
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
552
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
553
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
554
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
557
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
558
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
560
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
561
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
563
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
564
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
565
(Robert Collins, #107125).
567
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
568
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
569
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
571
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
572
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
573
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
575
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
576
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
577
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
578
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
580
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
581
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
582
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
583
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
585
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
586
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
587
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
588
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
589
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
590
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
591
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
592
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
598
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
599
code paths. (Robert Collins)
601
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
602
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
603
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
604
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
605
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
607
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
608
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
610
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
611
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
613
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
614
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
616
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
617
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
619
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
620
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
621
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
624
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
625
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
626
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
627
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
628
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
631
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
632
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
633
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
635
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
636
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
639
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
640
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
641
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
644
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
645
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
646
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
647
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
648
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
650
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
651
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
652
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
653
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
655
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
656
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
658
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
659
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
660
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
661
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
662
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
663
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
665
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
666
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
668
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
669
help. (Robert Collins)
671
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
672
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
674
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
675
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
676
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
677
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
680
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
681
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
682
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
683
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
684
useful. (Robert Collins)
686
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
691
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
692
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
694
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
695
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
697
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
698
properly and is no longer beneficial.
699
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
701
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
704
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
705
the file, and does it faster.
706
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
708
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
709
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
710
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
712
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
713
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
714
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
715
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
717
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
718
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
719
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
720
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
722
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
723
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
725
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
726
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
727
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
728
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
731
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
733
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
734
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
736
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
737
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
739
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
740
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
741
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
742
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
746
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
747
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
751
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
752
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
753
in running it. (Robert Collins)
755
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
756
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
758
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
759
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
760
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
761
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
762
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
763
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
764
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
765
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
767
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
768
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
769
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
771
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
772
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
773
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
774
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
775
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
777
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
779
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
780
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
781
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
783
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
784
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
791
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
794
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
795
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
798
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
802
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
803
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
808
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
809
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
810
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
811
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
812
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
813
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
814
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
815
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
820
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
821
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
822
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
824
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
825
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
828
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
829
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
832
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
833
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
834
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
835
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
836
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
840
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
843
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
844
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
846
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
847
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
849
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
850
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
851
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
853
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
854
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
856
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
857
last-changed-revision for directories. The
858
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
859
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
860
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
862
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
863
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
864
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
866
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
869
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
871
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
873
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
874
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
875
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
879
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
880
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
882
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
883
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
885
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
887
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
888
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
890
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
891
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
895
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
900
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
901
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
902
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
903
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
905
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
906
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
908
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
909
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
911
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
914
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
915
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
918
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
922
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
923
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
924
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
925
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
926
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
927
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
929
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
930
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
931
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
932
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
933
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
934
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
936
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
938
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
939
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
940
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
941
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
942
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
943
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
944
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
945
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
949
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
950
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
952
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
953
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
954
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
955
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
957
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
958
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
959
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
960
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
961
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
963
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
966
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
969
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
972
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
973
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
976
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
979
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
980
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
982
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
983
directory. (Martin Pool)
985
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
986
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
987
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
988
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
990
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
991
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
992
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
993
in docs/configuration.txt.
995
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
996
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
999
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1000
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1001
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1002
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1003
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1004
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1006
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1007
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1009
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1010
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1012
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1017
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1018
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1019
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1020
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1021
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1022
(John Arbash Meinel)
1024
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1025
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1028
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1029
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1030
(John Arbash Meinel)
1032
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1033
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1034
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1035
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1036
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1037
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1039
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1040
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1041
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1043
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1044
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1045
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1046
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1048
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1050
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1051
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1052
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1053
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1055
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1056
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1057
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1058
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1060
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1061
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1062
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1064
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1065
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1066
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1068
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1069
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1070
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1071
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1073
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1074
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1075
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1077
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1078
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1079
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1081
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1082
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1083
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1084
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1085
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1086
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1087
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1088
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1089
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1090
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1091
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1095
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1096
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1097
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1099
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1102
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1103
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1104
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1105
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1107
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1108
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1111
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1112
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1114
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1116
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1117
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1118
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1120
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1121
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1123
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1124
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1126
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1129
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1130
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1132
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1134
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1135
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1139
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1140
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1147
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1151
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1152
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1153
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1155
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1156
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1157
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1160
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1164
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1165
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1166
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1167
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1169
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1172
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1173
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1174
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1176
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1177
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1179
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1182
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1183
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1184
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1185
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1186
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1187
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1189
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1190
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1191
should enable you to do::
1193
[/home/user/project]
1194
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1195
push_location:policy = appendpath
1197
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1198
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1201
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1202
for each file. For example::
1204
$ bzr status --short
1210
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1211
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1213
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1215
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1216
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1218
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1222
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1223
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1224
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1225
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1227
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1228
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1229
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1231
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1233
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1234
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1235
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1236
(Alexander Belchenko)
1238
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1241
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1242
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1244
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1248
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1249
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1251
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1252
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1253
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1254
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1255
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1257
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1258
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1260
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1261
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1263
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1265
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1267
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1268
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1269
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1270
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1271
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1273
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1274
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1275
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1276
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1278
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1279
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1281
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1282
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1284
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1285
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1287
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1288
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1293
No changes from 0.13rc1
1295
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1299
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1301
(Daniel Silverstone)
1303
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1304
operations are substantially faster.
1305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1307
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1308
tree from some other url. For example:
1309
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1310
(Daniel Silverstone)
1312
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1313
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1314
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1315
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1317
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1320
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1321
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1322
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1323
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1324
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1325
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1329
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1330
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1333
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1334
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1335
(John Arbash Meinel)
1337
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1338
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1339
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1340
(John Arbash Meinel)
1342
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1343
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1345
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1346
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1348
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1349
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1354
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1355
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1356
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1358
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1359
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1360
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1361
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1363
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1365
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1366
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1368
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1369
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1370
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1371
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1373
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1374
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1375
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1377
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1378
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1379
them as full references rather than integers.
1380
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1382
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1383
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1385
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1387
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1388
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1390
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1391
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1393
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1394
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1395
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1396
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1398
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1399
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1400
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1402
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1403
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1405
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1406
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1407
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1408
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1409
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1413
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1414
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1420
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1421
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1422
(John Arbash Meinel)
1424
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1428
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1429
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1430
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1431
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1433
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1434
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1436
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1438
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1439
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1440
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1441
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1443
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1444
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1445
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1446
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1447
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1449
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1451
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1452
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1456
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1457
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1458
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1460
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1461
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1462
(John Arbash Meinel)
1464
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1465
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1466
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1468
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1469
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1472
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1473
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1474
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1476
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1477
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1478
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1479
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1480
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1481
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1483
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1484
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1485
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1488
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1489
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1493
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1494
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1495
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1498
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1499
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1501
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1502
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1503
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1505
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1506
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1508
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1509
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1510
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1511
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1513
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1514
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1516
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1517
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1518
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1520
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1521
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1523
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1525
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1526
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1531
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1532
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1533
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1534
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1536
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1537
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1538
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1542
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1544
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1548
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1550
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1553
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1557
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1558
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1559
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1560
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1561
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1562
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1563
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1565
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1566
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1567
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1569
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1571
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1572
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1574
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1575
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1576
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1579
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1580
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1581
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1582
(John Arbash Meinel)
1584
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1585
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1586
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1587
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1590
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1591
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1592
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1593
(John Arbash Meinel)
1597
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1598
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1600
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1602
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1603
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1604
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1606
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1607
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1609
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1610
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1612
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1615
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1616
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1618
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1620
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1621
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1623
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1624
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1626
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1627
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1629
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1630
(John Arbash Meinel)
1632
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1633
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1634
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1636
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1637
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1639
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1640
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1641
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1642
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1644
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1645
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1646
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1648
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1649
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1653
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1657
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1658
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1659
(John Arbash Meinel)
1661
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1662
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1663
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1664
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1666
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1669
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1670
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1671
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1673
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1674
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1676
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1677
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1678
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1680
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1681
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1682
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1683
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1684
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1685
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1686
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1687
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1688
caller to repeat their request.
1689
(John Arbash Meinel)
1691
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1692
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1694
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1695
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1697
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1698
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1699
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1700
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1701
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1702
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1703
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1705
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1706
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1707
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1708
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1709
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1710
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1711
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1712
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1715
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1716
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1717
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1719
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1720
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1722
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1723
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1725
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1726
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1730
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1731
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1733
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1734
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1735
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1737
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1738
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1739
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1744
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1745
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1747
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1748
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1749
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1750
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1751
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1753
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1754
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1755
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1757
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1758
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1760
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1761
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1762
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1766
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1768
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1769
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1770
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1772
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1774
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1776
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1777
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1778
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1779
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1781
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1782
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1783
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1784
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1785
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1787
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1788
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1790
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1791
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1793
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1794
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1796
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1797
in handling of revision properties.
1798
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1800
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1801
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1805
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1806
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1807
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1808
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1809
(John Arbash Meinel)
1811
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1812
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1813
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1815
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1819
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1820
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1821
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1822
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1823
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1824
a more conservative list than the old default.
1825
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1826
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1827
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1828
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1830
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1831
to more locations than just branch locations.
1836
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1837
revno:N:branch. For example,
1838
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1839
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1841
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1842
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1843
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1844
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1845
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1846
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1847
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1848
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1851
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1852
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1853
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1856
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1857
(Alexander Belchenko)
1859
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1861
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1864
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1865
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1866
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1867
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1868
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1869
(John Arbash Meinel)
1871
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1872
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1873
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1874
grained analysis of performance.
1875
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1877
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1878
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1880
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1881
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1882
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1883
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1884
file. (Robert Collins).
1886
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1887
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1888
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1890
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1891
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1894
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1895
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1897
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1898
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1899
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1900
the same way you would apply another branch.
1901
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1903
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1904
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1906
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1909
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1912
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1913
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1914
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1916
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1917
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1918
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1920
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1921
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1923
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1924
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1925
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1926
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1927
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1929
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1930
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1932
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1933
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1934
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1935
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1936
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1937
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1938
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1939
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1941
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1942
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1943
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1947
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1949
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1951
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1952
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1954
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1955
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1957
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1958
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1960
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1962
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1963
(John Arbash Meinel)
1965
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1966
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1968
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1969
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1972
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1973
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1975
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1976
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1978
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1979
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1980
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1981
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1983
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1984
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1986
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1988
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1989
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1991
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1993
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1995
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1996
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1998
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1999
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2001
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2002
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2003
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2005
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2006
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2007
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2009
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2010
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2012
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2013
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2015
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2016
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2018
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2019
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2021
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2022
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2024
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2025
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2026
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2028
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2030
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2031
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2035
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2036
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2037
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2039
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2040
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2042
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2043
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2044
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2046
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2047
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2049
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2050
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2053
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2054
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2055
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2057
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2058
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2059
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2061
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2062
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2063
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2065
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2066
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2067
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2069
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2070
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2071
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2073
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2074
instead. (Robert Collins)
2076
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2078
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2082
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2084
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2088
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2089
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2091
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2092
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2094
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2095
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2096
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2100
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2102
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2103
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2105
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2109
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2110
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2111
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2112
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2116
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2117
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2118
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2122
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2123
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2124
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2128
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2129
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2133
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2135
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2136
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2137
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2138
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2139
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2140
will keep the same format.
2142
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2143
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2144
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2145
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2146
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2148
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2149
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2150
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2151
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2152
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2153
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2154
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2156
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2157
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2158
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2159
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2160
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2162
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2163
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2164
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2170
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2171
convention. Paths now take the form::
2173
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2175
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2177
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2178
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2180
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2181
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2182
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2184
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2185
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2186
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2187
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2189
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2190
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2191
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2193
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2195
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2197
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2198
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2201
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2202
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2205
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2207
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2208
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2209
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2212
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2214
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2216
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2219
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2220
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2222
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2223
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2226
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2227
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2230
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2232
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2234
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2235
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2237
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2238
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2239
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2240
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2241
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2242
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2244
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2246
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2247
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2250
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2251
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2253
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2254
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2256
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2258
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2259
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2260
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2261
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2262
specification by Martin Pool.
2263
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2265
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2268
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2269
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2271
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2272
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2273
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2275
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2277
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2278
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2283
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2284
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2286
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2288
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2290
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2293
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2294
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2295
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2296
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2300
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2301
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2302
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2303
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2305
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2306
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2307
tried. (Martin Pool)
2309
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2312
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2314
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2315
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2316
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2318
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2319
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2321
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2322
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2323
paths. (Robert Collins)
2325
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2326
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2327
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2329
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2330
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2331
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2333
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2334
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2335
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2337
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2340
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2343
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2345
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2347
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2348
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2349
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2352
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2353
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2355
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2356
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2357
check. (Robert Collins)
2359
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2360
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2364
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2365
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2367
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2368
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2369
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2370
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2372
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2373
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2374
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2375
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2376
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2378
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2379
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2380
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2382
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2384
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2385
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2391
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2392
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2394
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2395
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2396
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2399
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2400
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2402
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2403
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2404
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2405
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2406
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2408
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2409
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2410
used. (Robert Collins)
2412
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2413
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2416
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2417
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2418
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2420
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2423
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2424
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2428
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2429
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2431
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2433
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2435
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2436
tree. (Robert Collins)
2438
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2439
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2440
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2443
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2446
* Tweaks to short log printing
2448
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2451
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2452
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2454
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2455
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2457
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2458
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2460
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2461
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2462
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2464
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2465
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2467
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2468
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2471
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2472
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2474
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2475
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2477
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2478
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2480
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2483
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2484
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2486
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2487
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2489
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2490
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2491
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2495
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2497
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2499
* Error when run with -OO
2501
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2504
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2506
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2508
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2509
ignored by diff and status
2511
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2512
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2514
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2516
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2518
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2519
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2521
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2522
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2524
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2527
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2528
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2530
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2532
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2533
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2535
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2538
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2539
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2541
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2545
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2546
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2548
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2550
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2552
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2554
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2555
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2556
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2558
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2560
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2561
(John Arbash Meinel)
2563
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2565
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2566
If adding a new test script please add that to
2567
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2569
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2570
imported. (Martin Pool)
2572
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2573
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2574
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2575
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2576
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2579
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2580
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2581
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2583
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2584
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2585
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2587
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2588
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2589
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2590
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2591
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2594
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2595
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2600
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2601
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2603
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2604
function. (Robert Collins)
2606
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2607
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2608
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2610
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2611
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2614
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2615
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2616
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2617
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2618
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2619
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2620
version. (Robert Collins)
2622
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2623
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2625
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2626
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2627
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2628
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2629
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2630
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2632
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2635
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2645
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2647
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2649
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2652
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2653
query method. (Robert Collins)
2655
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2658
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2661
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2664
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2665
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2666
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2667
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2669
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2670
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2671
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2672
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2674
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2675
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2681
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2684
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2688
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2689
a separator, not ':'.
2692
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2693
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2694
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2696
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2697
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2700
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2701
has been added that suppresses all output.
2703
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2706
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2707
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2709
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2710
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2712
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2713
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2715
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2716
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2717
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2718
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2720
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2722
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2723
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2725
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2726
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2728
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2729
output directory, if one was supplied.
2731
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2732
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2733
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2734
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2736
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2738
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2739
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2741
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2742
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2743
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2745
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2746
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2748
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2751
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2753
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2757
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2758
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2759
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2761
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2762
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2763
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2765
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2766
is given. (Martin Pool)
2768
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2769
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2770
file. (Robert Collins)
2772
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2777
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2778
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2779
representation. (Martin Pool).
2781
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2782
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2783
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2785
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2788
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2789
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2792
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2793
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2794
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2795
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2796
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2798
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2799
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2800
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2801
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2802
python path. (Robert Collins)
2804
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2805
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2806
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2807
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2809
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2810
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2812
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2813
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2816
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2817
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2818
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2820
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2821
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2822
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2824
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2825
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2827
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2828
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2829
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2832
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2833
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2834
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2835
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2838
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2841
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2842
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2845
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2846
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2847
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2849
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2850
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2851
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2853
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2854
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2855
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2857
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2858
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2860
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2861
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2862
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2863
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2864
caller. (Robert Collins)
2866
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2867
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2870
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2871
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2874
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2876
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2877
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2881
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2882
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2884
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2885
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2888
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2892
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2893
allow directories to be listed.
2895
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2896
upgrading branch format.
2900
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2907
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2908
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2909
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2910
high-latency connections.
2914
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2917
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2918
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2920
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2921
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2922
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2923
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2925
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2926
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2928
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2929
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2931
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2932
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2933
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2935
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2936
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2937
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2940
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2941
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2943
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2944
different partial views of history.
2946
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2947
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2951
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2952
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2953
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2955
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2956
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2959
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2960
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2962
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2965
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2966
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2968
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2969
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2970
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2971
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2973
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2975
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2976
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2979
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2980
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2982
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2983
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2984
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2989
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2990
for your viewing pleasure.
2992
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2993
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2995
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2996
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2997
handling of such circumstances.
2999
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3000
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3001
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3003
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3005
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3006
we call them revisions not patches.
3008
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3009
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3011
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3012
giving the revision *of that file*.
3014
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3015
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3016
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3020
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3021
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3023
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3024
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3027
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3031
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3033
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3036
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3038
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3040
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3041
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3045
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3046
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3048
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3049
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3050
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3051
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3054
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3055
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3059
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3061
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3062
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3065
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3069
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3070
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3071
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3072
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3075
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3078
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3079
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3080
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3081
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3082
for the operating system is still tried.
3084
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3085
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3086
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3091
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3095
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3097
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3100
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3106
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3108
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3111
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3115
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3116
help with intelligent shell completion.
3118
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3123
* Much better merge support.
3125
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3126
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3132
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3133
mention revisions that are not present.
3135
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3137
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3139
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3140
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3145
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3147
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3148
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3154
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3155
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3160
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3164
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3165
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3167
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3169
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3170
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3172
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3175
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3177
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3180
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3181
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3183
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3184
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3185
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3190
* Faster working tree operations.
3195
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3196
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3197
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3198
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3200
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3201
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3202
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3203
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3204
standard plugins directory.
3206
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3207
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3208
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3209
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3211
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3212
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3214
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3217
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3218
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3219
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3221
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3222
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3224
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3225
line options must come before the command name because they
3226
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3227
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3230
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3232
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3233
is available with ``--short``.
3238
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3241
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3245
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3246
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3248
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3249
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3250
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3251
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3253
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3254
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3255
with the ``--forward`` option.
3257
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3258
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3264
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3265
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3267
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3269
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3270
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3272
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3274
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3275
either read or write mode.
3277
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3279
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3282
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3284
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3285
suggested by LarstiQ.
3287
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3288
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3290
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3293
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3294
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3296
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3297
haven't changed since the previous time.
3299
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3300
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3302
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3304
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3306
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3307
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3309
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3310
options through to an external GNU diff.
3312
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3315
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3321
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3322
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3324
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3330
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3331
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3334
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3335
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3337
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3338
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3340
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3341
under a different version.
3343
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3348
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3350
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3351
Scott James Remnant.
3353
* Better help messages for many commands.
3355
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3356
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3358
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3359
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3361
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3363
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3365
* New AtomicFile class.
3367
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3372
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3373
2.4 is now only recommended.
3376
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3380
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3381
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3383
* More default ignore patterns.
3385
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3386
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3388
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3390
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3393
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3398
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3399
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3400
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3401
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3402
there are DNS problems.
3404
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3409
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3411
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3413
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3414
trailing newlines properly.
3419
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3422
* More tests in test.sh.
3424
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3425
directory and delete it when done.
3427
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3432
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3435
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3439
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3443
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3446
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3448
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3451
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3454
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3456
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3460
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3461
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3466
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3467
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3472
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3476
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3483
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
3486
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3490
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3492
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3493
rather than replacing it.
3495
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3499
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3502
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3503
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3505
* Performance improvements.
3507
* New global --profile option.
3509
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3510
the root directory only.
3513
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3517
* More information from info command.
3519
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3521
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3522
committing to stores.
3524
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3528
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3532
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3533
installation easier.
3535
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3539
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3543
