5
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
8
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
9
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
11
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
12
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
13
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
15
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
19
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
20
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
21
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
22
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
24
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
25
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
26
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
28
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
29
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
31
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
32
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
34
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
35
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
37
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
41
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
42
it could be recovered again.
43
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
44
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
45
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
47
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
49
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
50
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
54
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
55
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
57
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
58
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
59
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
60
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
62
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
63
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
65
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
66
tests with names that match that regular expression.
67
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
69
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
70
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
71
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
73
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
74
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
75
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
77
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
78
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
81
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
84
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
85
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
86
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
87
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
89
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
92
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
93
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
94
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
97
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
98
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
100
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
101
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
103
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
104
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
105
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
106
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
109
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
110
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
112
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
113
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
115
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
116
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
117
(Robert Collins, #107125).
119
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
120
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
121
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
123
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
124
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
125
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
127
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
128
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
129
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
130
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
132
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
133
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
134
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
135
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
137
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
138
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
139
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
140
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
141
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
142
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
143
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
144
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
150
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
151
code paths. (Robert Collins)
153
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
154
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
155
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
156
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
157
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
159
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
160
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
162
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
163
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
165
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
166
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
168
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
169
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
171
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
172
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
173
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
176
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
177
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
178
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
179
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
180
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
183
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
184
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
185
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
187
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
188
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
191
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
192
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
193
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
196
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
197
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
198
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
199
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
200
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
202
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
203
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
204
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
205
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
207
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
208
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
210
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
211
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
212
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
213
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
214
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
215
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
217
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
218
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
220
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
221
help. (Robert Collins)
223
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
224
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
226
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
227
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
228
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
229
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
232
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
233
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
234
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
235
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
236
useful. (Robert Collins)
238
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
243
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
244
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
246
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
247
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
249
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
250
properly and is no longer beneficial.
251
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
253
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
256
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
257
the file, and does it faster.
258
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
260
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
261
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
262
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
264
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
265
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
266
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
267
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
269
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
270
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
271
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
272
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
274
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
275
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
277
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
278
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
279
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
280
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
283
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
285
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
286
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
288
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
289
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
291
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
292
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
293
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
294
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
298
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
303
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
304
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
305
in running it. (Robert Collins)
307
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
308
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
310
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
311
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
312
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
313
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
314
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
315
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
316
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
317
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
319
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
320
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
321
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
323
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
324
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
325
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
326
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
327
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
329
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
331
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
332
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
333
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
335
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
336
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
343
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
346
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
347
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
350
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
354
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
355
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
360
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
361
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
362
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
363
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
364
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
365
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
366
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
367
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
372
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
373
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
374
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
376
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
377
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
380
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
381
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
384
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
385
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
386
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
387
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
388
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
392
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
395
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
396
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
398
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
399
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
401
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
402
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
403
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
405
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
406
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
408
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
409
last-changed-revision for directories. The
410
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
411
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
412
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
414
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
415
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
416
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
418
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
421
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
423
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
425
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
426
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
427
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
431
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
432
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
434
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
435
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
437
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
439
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
440
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
442
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
443
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
447
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
452
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
453
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
454
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
455
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
457
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
458
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
460
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
461
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
463
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
466
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
467
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
470
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
474
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
475
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
476
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
477
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
478
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
479
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
481
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
482
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
483
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
484
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
485
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
486
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
488
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
490
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
491
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
492
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
493
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
494
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
495
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
496
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
497
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
501
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
502
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
504
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
505
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
506
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
507
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
509
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
510
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
511
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
512
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
513
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
515
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
518
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
521
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
524
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
525
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
528
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
531
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
532
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
534
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
535
directory. (Martin Pool)
537
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
538
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
539
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
540
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
542
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
543
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
544
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
545
in docs/configuration.txt.
547
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
548
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
551
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
552
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
553
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
554
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
555
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
556
repositories. (Martin Pool)
558
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
559
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
561
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
562
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
564
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
569
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
570
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
571
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
572
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
573
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
576
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
577
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
580
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
581
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
584
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
585
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
586
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
587
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
588
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
589
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
591
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
592
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
593
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
595
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
596
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
597
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
598
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
600
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
602
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
603
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
604
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
605
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
607
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
608
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
609
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
610
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
612
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
613
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
614
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
616
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
617
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
618
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
620
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
621
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
622
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
623
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
625
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
626
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
627
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
629
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
630
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
631
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
633
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
634
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
635
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
636
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
637
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
638
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
639
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
640
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
641
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
642
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
643
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
647
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
648
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
649
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
651
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
654
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
655
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
656
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
657
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
659
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
660
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
663
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
664
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
666
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
668
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
669
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
670
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
672
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
673
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
675
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
678
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
679
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
681
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
682
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
684
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
686
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
687
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
691
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
692
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
699
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
703
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
704
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
705
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
707
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
708
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
709
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
712
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
716
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
717
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
718
server, then you can write over the http connection.
719
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
721
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
724
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
725
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
726
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
728
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
729
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
731
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
734
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
735
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
736
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
737
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
738
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
739
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
741
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
742
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
743
should enable you to do::
746
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
747
push_location:policy = appendpath
749
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
750
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
753
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
754
for each file. For example::
762
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
763
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
765
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
767
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
768
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
770
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
774
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
775
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
776
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
777
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
779
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
780
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
781
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
783
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
785
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
786
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
787
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
788
(Alexander Belchenko)
790
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
793
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
794
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
796
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
800
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
801
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
803
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
804
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
805
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
806
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
807
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
809
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
810
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
812
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
813
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
815
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
817
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
819
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
820
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
821
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
822
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
823
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
825
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
826
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
827
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
828
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
830
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
831
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
833
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
834
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
836
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
837
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
839
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
840
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
845
No changes from 0.13rc1
847
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
851
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
855
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
856
operations are substantially faster.
857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
859
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
860
tree from some other url. For example:
861
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
864
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
865
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
866
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
867
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
869
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
872
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
873
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
874
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
875
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
876
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
877
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
881
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
882
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
885
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
886
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
889
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
890
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
891
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
894
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
895
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
897
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
898
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
900
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
901
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
906
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
907
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
908
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
910
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
911
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
912
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
913
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
915
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
917
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
918
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
920
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
921
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
922
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
925
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
926
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
927
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
929
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
930
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
931
them as full references rather than integers.
932
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
934
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
935
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
937
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
939
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
940
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
942
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
943
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
945
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
946
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
947
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
948
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
950
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
951
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
952
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
954
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
955
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
957
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
958
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
959
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
960
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
961
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
965
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
966
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
972
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
973
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
976
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
980
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
981
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
982
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
983
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
985
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
986
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
988
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
990
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
991
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
992
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
993
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
995
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
996
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
997
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
998
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
999
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1001
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1003
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1004
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1008
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1009
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1010
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1012
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1013
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1014
(John Arbash Meinel)
1016
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1017
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1018
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1020
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1021
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1024
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1025
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1026
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1028
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1029
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1030
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1031
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1032
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1033
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1035
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1036
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1037
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1040
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1041
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1045
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1046
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1047
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1050
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1051
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1053
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1054
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1055
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1057
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1058
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1060
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1061
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1062
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1063
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1065
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1066
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1068
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1069
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1070
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1072
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1073
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1075
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1077
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1078
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1083
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1084
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1085
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1086
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1088
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1089
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1090
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1094
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1096
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1100
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1102
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1105
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1109
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1110
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1111
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1112
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1113
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1114
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1115
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1117
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1118
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1119
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1121
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1123
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1124
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1126
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1127
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1128
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1131
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1132
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1133
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1134
(John Arbash Meinel)
1136
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1137
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1138
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1139
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1142
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1143
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1144
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1145
(John Arbash Meinel)
1149
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1150
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1152
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1154
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1155
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1156
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1158
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1159
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1161
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1162
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1164
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1167
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1168
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1170
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1172
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1173
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1175
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1176
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1178
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1179
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1181
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1182
(John Arbash Meinel)
1184
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1185
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1186
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1188
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1189
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1191
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1192
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1193
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1194
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1196
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1197
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1198
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1200
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1201
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1205
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1209
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1210
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1211
(John Arbash Meinel)
1213
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1214
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1215
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1216
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1218
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1221
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1222
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1223
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1225
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1226
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1228
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1229
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1230
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1232
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1233
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1234
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1235
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1236
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1237
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1238
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1239
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1240
caller to repeat their request.
1241
(John Arbash Meinel)
1243
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1244
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1246
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1247
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1249
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1250
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1251
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1252
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1253
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1254
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1255
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1257
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1258
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1259
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1260
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1261
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1262
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1263
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1264
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1267
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1268
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1269
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1271
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1272
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1274
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1275
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1277
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1278
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1282
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1283
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1285
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1286
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1287
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1289
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1290
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1291
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1296
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1297
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1299
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1300
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1301
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1302
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1303
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1305
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1306
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1307
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1309
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1310
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1312
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1313
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1314
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1318
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1320
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1321
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1322
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1324
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1326
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1328
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1329
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1330
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1331
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1333
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1334
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1335
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1336
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1337
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1339
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1340
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1342
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1343
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1345
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1346
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1348
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1349
in handling of revision properties.
1350
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1352
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1353
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1357
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1358
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1359
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1360
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1361
(John Arbash Meinel)
1363
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1364
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1365
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1367
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1371
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1372
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1373
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1374
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1375
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1376
a more conservative list than the old default.
1377
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1378
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1379
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1380
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1382
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1383
to more locations than just branch locations.
1388
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1389
revno:N:branch. For example,
1390
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1391
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1393
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1394
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1395
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1396
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1397
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1398
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1399
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1400
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1403
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1404
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1405
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1408
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1409
(Alexander Belchenko)
1411
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1413
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1416
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1417
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1418
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1419
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1420
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1421
(John Arbash Meinel)
1423
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1424
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1425
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1426
grained analysis of performance.
1427
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1429
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1430
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1432
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1433
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1434
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1435
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1436
file. (Robert Collins).
1438
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1439
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1440
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1442
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1443
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1446
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1447
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1449
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1450
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1451
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1452
the same way you would apply another branch.
1453
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1455
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1456
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1458
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1461
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1464
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1465
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1466
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1468
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1469
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1470
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1472
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1473
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1475
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1476
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1477
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1478
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1479
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1481
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1482
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1484
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1485
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1486
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1487
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1488
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1489
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1490
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1491
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1493
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1494
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1495
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1499
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1501
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1503
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1504
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1506
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1507
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1509
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1510
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1512
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1514
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1515
(John Arbash Meinel)
1517
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1518
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1520
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1521
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1524
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1525
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1527
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1528
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1530
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1531
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1532
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1533
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1535
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1536
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1538
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1540
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1541
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1543
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1545
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1547
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1548
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1550
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1551
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1553
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1554
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1555
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1557
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1558
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1559
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1561
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1562
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1564
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1565
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1567
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1568
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1570
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1571
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1573
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1574
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1576
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1577
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1578
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1580
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1582
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1583
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1587
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1588
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1589
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1591
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1592
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1594
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1595
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1596
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1598
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1599
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1601
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1602
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1605
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1606
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1607
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1609
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1610
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1611
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1613
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1614
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1615
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1617
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1618
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1619
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1621
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom

* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1626
instead. (Robert Collins)
1628
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1630
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1641
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1643
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1644
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1646
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1647
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1648
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1652
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1654
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1655
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1657
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1661
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1662
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1663
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1664
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1668
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1669
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1670
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1674
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1675
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1676
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1680
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1681
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1685
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1687
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1688
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1689
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1690
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1691
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1692
will keep the same format.
1694
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1695
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1696
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1697
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1698
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1700
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1701
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1702
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1703
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1704
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1705
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1706
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1708
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1709
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1710
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1711
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1712
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1714
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1715
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1716
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1722
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1723
convention. Paths now take the form::
1725
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1727
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1729
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1730
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1732
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1733
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1734
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1736
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1737
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1738
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1739
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1741
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1742
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1743
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1745
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1747
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1749
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1750
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1753
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1754
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1757
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1759
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1760
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1761
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1764
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1766
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1768
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1771
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1772
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1774
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1775
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1778
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1779
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1782
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1784
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1786
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1787
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1789
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1790
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1791
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1792
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1793
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1794
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1796
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1798
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1799
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1802
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1803
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1805
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1806
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1808
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1810
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1811
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1812
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1813
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1814
specification by Martin Pool.
1815
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1817
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1820
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1821
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1823
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1824
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1825
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1827
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1829
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1830
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1835
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1836
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1838
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1840
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1842
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1845
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1846
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1847
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1848
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1852
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1853
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1854
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1855
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1857
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1858
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1859
tried. (Martin Pool)
1861
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1864
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1866
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1867
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1868
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1870
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1871
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1873
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1874
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1875
paths. (Robert Collins)
1877
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
1878
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
1879
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
1881
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
1882
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1883
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1885
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1886
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
1887
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1889
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
1892
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
1895
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1897
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1899
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
1900
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1901
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1904
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
1905
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1907
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1908
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1909
check. (Robert Collins)
1911
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
1912
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1916
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1917
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1919
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
1920
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
1921
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1922
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1924
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1925
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1926
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1927
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1928
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1930
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1931
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1932
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1934
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1936
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
1937
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1943
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1944
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1946
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1947
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1948
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1951
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
1952
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1954
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
1955
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
1956
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
1957
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
1958
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1960
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1961
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1962
used. (Robert Collins)
1964
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1965
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1968
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1969
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1970
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1972
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1975
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1976
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1980
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1981
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1983
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1985
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1987
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1988
tree. (Robert Collins)
1990
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1991
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1992
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1995
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1998
* Tweaks to short log printing
2000
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2003
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2004
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2006
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2007
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2009
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2010
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2012
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2013
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2014
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2016
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2017
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2019
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2020
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2023
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2024
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2026
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2027
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2029
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2030
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2032
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2035
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2036
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2038
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2039
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2041
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2042
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2043
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2047
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2049
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2051
* Error when run with -OO
2053
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2056
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2058
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2060
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2061
ignored by diff and status
2063
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2064
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2066
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2068
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2070
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2071
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2073
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2074
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2076
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2079
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2080
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2082
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2084
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2085
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2087
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2090
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2091
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2093
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2097
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2098
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2100
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2102
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2104
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2106
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2107
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2108
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2110
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2112
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2113
(John Arbash Meinel)
2115
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2117
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2118
If adding a new test script please add that to
2119
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2121
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2122
imported. (Martin Pool)
2124
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2125
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2126
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2127
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2128
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2131
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2132
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2133
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2135
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2136
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2137
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2139
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2140
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2141
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2142
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2143
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2146
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2147
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2152
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2153
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2155
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2156
function. (Robert Collins)
2158
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2159
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2160
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2162
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2163
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2166
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2167
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2168
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2169
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2170
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2171
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2172
version. (Robert Collins)
2174
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2175
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2177
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2178
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2179
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2180
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2181
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2182
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2184
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2187
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2197
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2199
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2201
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2204
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2205
query method. (Robert Collins)
2207
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2210
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2213
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2216
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2217
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2218
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2219
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2221
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2222
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2223
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2224
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2226
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2227
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2233
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2236
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2240
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2241
a separator, not ':'.
2244
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2245
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2246
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2248
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2249
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2252
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2253
has been added that suppresses all output.
2255
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2258
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2259
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2261
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2262
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2264
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2265
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2267
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2268
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2269
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2270
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2272
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2274
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2275
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2277
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2278
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2280
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2281
output directory, if one was supplied.
2283
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2284
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2285
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2286
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2288
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2290
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2291
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2293
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2294
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2295
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2297
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2298
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2300
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2303
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2305
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2309
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2310
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2311
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2313
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2314
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2315
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2317
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2318
is given. (Martin Pool)
2320
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2321
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2322
file. (Robert Collins)
2324
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2329
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2330
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2331
representation. (Martin Pool).
2333
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2334
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2335
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2337
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2340
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2341
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2344
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2345
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2346
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2347
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2348
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2350
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2351
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2352
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2353
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2354
python path. (Robert Collins)
2356
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2357
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2358
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2359
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2361
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2362
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2364
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2365
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2368
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2369
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2370
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2372
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2373
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2374
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2376
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2377
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2379
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2380
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2381
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2384
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2385
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2386
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2387
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2390
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2393
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2394
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2397
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2398
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2399
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2401
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2402
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2403
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2405
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2406
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2407
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2409
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2410
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2412
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2413
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2414
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2415
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2416
caller. (Robert Collins)
2418
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2419
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2422
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2423
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2426
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2428
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2429
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2433
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2434
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2436
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2437
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2440
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2444
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2445
allow directories to be listed.
2447
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2448
upgrading branch format.
2452
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2459
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2460
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2461
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2462
high-latency connections.
2466
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2469
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2470
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2472
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2473
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2474
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2475
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2477
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2478
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2480
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2481
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2483
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2484
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2485
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2487
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2488
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2489
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2492
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2493
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2495
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2496
different partial views of history.
2498
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2499
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2503
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2504
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2505
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2507
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2508
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2511
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2512
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2514
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2517
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2518
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2520
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2521
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2522
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2523
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2525
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2527
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2528
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2531
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2532
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2534
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2535
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2536
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2541
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2542
for your viewing pleasure.
2544
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2545
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2547
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2548
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2549
handling of such circumstances.
2551
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2552
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2553
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2555
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2557
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2558
we call them revisions not patches.
2560
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2561
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2563
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2564
giving the revision *of that file*.
2566
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2567
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2568
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2572
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2573
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2575
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2576
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2579
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2583
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2585
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2588
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2590
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2592
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2593
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2597
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2598
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2600
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2601
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2602
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2603
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2606
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2607
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2611
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2613
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2614
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2617
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2621
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2622
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2623
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2624
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2627
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2630
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2631
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2632
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2633
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2634
for the operating system is still tried.
2636
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2637
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2638
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2643
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2647
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2649
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2652
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2658
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2660
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2663
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2667
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2668
help with intelligent shell completion.
2670
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2675
* Much better merge support.
2677
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2678
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2684
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2685
mention revisions that are not present.
2687
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2689
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2691
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2692
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2697
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2699
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2700
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2706
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2707
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2712
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2716
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2717
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2719
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2721
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2722
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2724
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2727
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2729
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2732
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2733
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2735
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2736
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2737
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2742
* Faster working tree operations.
2747
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2748
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2749
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2750
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2752
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2753
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2754
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2755
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2756
standard plugins directory.
2758
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2759
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2760
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2761
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2763
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2764
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2766
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2769
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2770
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2771
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2773
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2774
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2776
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2777
line options must come before the command name because they
2778
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2779
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2782
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2784
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2785
is available with ``--short``.
2790
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2793
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2797
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2798
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2800
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2801
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2802
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2803
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2805
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2806
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2807
with the ``--forward`` option.
2809
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2810
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2816
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2817
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2819
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2821
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2822
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2824
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2826
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2827
either read or write mode.
2829
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2831
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2834
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2836
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2837
suggested by LarstiQ.
2839
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2840
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2842
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2845
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2846
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2848
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2849
haven't changed since the previous time.
2851
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2852
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2854
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2856
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2858
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2859
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2861
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2862
options through to an external GNU diff.
2864
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2867
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2873
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2874
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2876
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2882
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2883
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2886
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2887
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2889
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2890
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2892
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2893
under a different version.
2895
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2900
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2902
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2903
Scott James Remnant.
2905

or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
