IN DEVELOPMENT
2
3
IMPROVEMENTS:
4
5
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
6
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
10
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
11
12
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
13
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
14
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
15
16
TESTING:
17
18
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
19
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
20
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
21
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

25
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
26
27
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
28
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
29
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
30
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
31
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
32
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
33
and unlock() like so::
34
35
work_tree.lock_read()
36
try:
37
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
38
finally:
39
work_tree.unlock()
40
41
INTERNALS:
42
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
43
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
44
object.
45
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
46
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
47
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
48
49
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
50
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
51
too. (Robert Collins)
52
53
IMPROVEMENTS:
54
55
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
56
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
57
Aaron Bentley)
58
59
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
60
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
61
62
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
63
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
64
65
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
66
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
67
understanding what changes have occurred
68
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
69
70
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
71
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
72
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
73
74
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
75
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
76
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
77
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
78
79
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
80
#56322)
81
82
BUGFIXES:
83
84
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
85
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
86
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
87
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
88
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
89
90
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
91
based on split paths, not just string paths.
92
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
93
94
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
95
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
96
97
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
98
into account.
99
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
100
101
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
102
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
103
104
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
105
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
106
107
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
108
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
109
110
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
111
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
112
113
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
114
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
115
116
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
117
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
118
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
119
120
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
121
122
BUGFIXES:
123
124
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
125
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
126
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
127
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
128
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
129
130
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
131
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
132
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
133
134
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
135
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
136
137
IMPROVEMENTS:
138
139
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
140
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
141
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
142
143
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
144
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
145
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
146
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
147
148
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
149
150
BUGFIXES:
151
152
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
153
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
154
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
155
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
156
157
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
158
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
159
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
160
161
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
162
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
163
164
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
165
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
166
167
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
168
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
169
170
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
171
172
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
173
174
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
175
it could be recovered again.
176
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
177
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
178
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
179
but not delete it.
180
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
181
files.
182
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
183
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
184
185
IMPROVEMENTS:
186
187
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
188
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
189
190
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
191
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
192
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
193
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
194
195
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
196
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
197
198
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
199
tests with names that match that regular expression.
200
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
201
202
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
203
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
204
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
205
206
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
207
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
208
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
209
210
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
211
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
212
Robert Collins)
213
214
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
215
Pool)
216
217
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
218
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
219
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
220
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
221
222
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
223
(Robert Collins)
224
225
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
226
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
227
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
228
(Robert Collins)
229
230
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
231
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
232
233
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
234
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
235
236
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
237
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
238
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
239
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
240
(Robert Collins)
241
242
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
243
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
244
245
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
246
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
247
248
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
249
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
250
(Robert Collins, #107125).
251
252
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
253
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
254
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
255
256
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
257
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
258
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
259
260
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
261
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
262
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
263
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
264
265
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
266
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
267
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
268
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
269
270
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
271
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
272
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
273
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
274
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
275
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
276
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
277
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
278
header(s).
279
(Vincent Ladeuil).
280
281
INTERNALS:
282
283
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
284
code paths. (Robert Collins)
285
286
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
287
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
288
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
289
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
290
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
291
292
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
293
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
294
295
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
296
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
297
298
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
299
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
300
301
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
302
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
303
304
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
305
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
306
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
307
(Robert Collins).
308
309
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
310
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
311
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
312
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
313
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
314
(Robert Collins)
315
316
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
317
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
318
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
319
320
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
321
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
322
(Vincent Ladeuil).
323
324
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
325
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
326
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
327
(Vincent Ladeuil).
328
329
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
330
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
331
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
332
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
333
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
334
335
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
336
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
337
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
338
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
339
340
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
341
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
342
343
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
344
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
345
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
346
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
347
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
348
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
349
350
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
351
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
352
353
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
354
help. (Robert Collins)
355
356
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
357
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
358
359
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
360
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
361
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
362
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
363
(John Arbash Meinel)
364
365
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
366
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
367
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
368
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
369
useful. (Robert Collins)
370
371
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
372
(Andrew Bennetts)
373
374
BUGFIXES:
375
376
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
377
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
378
379
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
380
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
381
382
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
383
properly and is no longer beneficial.
384
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
385
386
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
387
(Aaron Bentley)
388
389
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
390
the file, and does it faster.
391
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
392
393
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
394
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
395
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
396
397
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
398
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
399
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
400
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
401
402
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
403
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
404
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
405
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
406
407
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
408
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
409
410
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
411
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
412
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
413
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
414
Arbash Meinel)
415
416
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
417
418
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
419
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
420
421
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
422
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
423
424
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
425
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
426
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
427
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
428
security hole.
429
(Vincent Ladeuil)
430
431
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
433
434
TESTING:
435
436
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
437
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
438
in running it. (Robert Collins)
439
440
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
441
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
442
443
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
444
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
445
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
446
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
447
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
448
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
449
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
450
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
451
452
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
453
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
454
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
455
456
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
457
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
458
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
459
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
460
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
461
access.
462
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
463
464
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
465
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
466
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
467
468
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
469
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

BUGFIXES:
475
476
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
477
(Aaron Bentley)
478
479
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
480
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

484
485
CHANGES:
486
487
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
488
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
489
(Martin Pool)
490
491
IMPROVEMENTS:
492
493
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
494
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
495
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
496
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
497
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
498
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
499
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
500
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
501
path. (vila)
502
503
INTERNALS:
504
505
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
506
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
507
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
508
509
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
510
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
511
(Martin Pool)
512
513
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
514
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
515
(John Arbash Meinel)
516
517
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
518
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
519
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
520
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
521
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
522
523
BUGFIXES:
524
525
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
526
(vila, #92195)
527
528
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
529
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
530
531
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
532
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
533
534
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
535
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
536
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
537
538
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
539
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
540
541
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
542
last-changed-revision for directories. The
543
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
544
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
545
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
546
547
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
548
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
549
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
550
551
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

554
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
555
556
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
557
558
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
559
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
560
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
561
562
IMPROVEMENTS:
563
564
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
565
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
566
567
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
568
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
569
570
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
571
572
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
573
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
574
575
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
576
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
577
578
INTERNALS:
579
580
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
581
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
582
583
BUGFIXES:
584
585
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
586
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
587
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
588
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
589
590
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
591
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
592
593
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
594
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
595
596
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
597
(Marien Zwart)
598
599
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
600

601
602
603
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
604
605
SURPRISES:
606
607
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
608
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
609
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
610
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
611
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
612
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
613
614
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
615
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
616
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
617
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
618
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
619
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
620
development.
621
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
622
623
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
624
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
625
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
626
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
627
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
628
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
629
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
630
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
631
632
IMPROVEMENTS:
633
634
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
635
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
636
637
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
638
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
639
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
640
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
641
does exist.
642
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
643
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
644
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
645
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
646
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
647
648
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
649
(Aaron Bentley)
650
651
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
652
(Aaron Bentley)
653
654
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
655
(Robert Collins)
656
657
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
658
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
659
(Aaron Bentley)
660
661
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
662
(Aaron Bentley)
663
664
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
665
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
666
667
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
668
directory. (Martin Pool)
669
670
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
671
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
672
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
673
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
674
675
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
676
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
677
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
678
in docs/configuration.txt.
679
680
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
681
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
682
bind location.
683
684
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
685
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
686
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
687
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
688
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
689
repositories. (Martin Pool)
690
691
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
692
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
693
694
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
695
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
696
697
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
698
(Aaron Bentley)
699
700
INTERNALS:
701
702
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
703
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
704
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
705
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
706
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
707
(John Arbash Meinel)
708
709
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
710
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
711
(Aaron Bentley)
712
713
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
714
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
715
(John Arbash Meinel)
716
717
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
718
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
719
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
720
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
721
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
722
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
723
724
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
725
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
726
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
727
728
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
729
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
730
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
731
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
732
repository.
733
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
734
735
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
736
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
737
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
738
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
739
740
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
741
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
742
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
743
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
744
745
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
746
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
747
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
748
749
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
750
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
751
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
752
753
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
754
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
755
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
756
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
757
758
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
759
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
760
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
761
762
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
763
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
764
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
765
766
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
767
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
768
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
769
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
770
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
771
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
772
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
773
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
774
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
775
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
776
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
777
778
BUGFIXES:
779
780
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
781
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
782
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
783
784
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
785
(Aaron Bentley)
786
787
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
788
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
789
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
790
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
791
792
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
793
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
794
#83954).
795
796
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
797
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
798
799
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
800
801
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
802
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
803
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
804
805
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
806
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
807
808
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
810
811
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
813
814
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
815
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
816
817
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
818
819
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
820
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
821
822
TESTING:
823
824
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

IMPROVEMENTS:
831
832
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
833
834
BUG FIXES:
835
836
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
837
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
838
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
839
840
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
841
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
842
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
843
844
845
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
846
847
IMPROVEMENTS:
848
849
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
850
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
851
server, then you can write over the http connection.
852
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
853
854
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
855
(Marius Kruger)
856
857
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
858
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
859
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
860
861
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
862
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
863
864
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
865
(Aaron Bentley)
866
867
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
868
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
869
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
870
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
871
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
872
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
873
874
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
875
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
876
should enable you to do::
877
878
[/home/user/project]
879
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
880
push_location:policy = appendpath
881
882
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
883
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
884
(James Henstridge)
885
886
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
887
for each file. For example::
888
889
$ bzr status --short
890
A foo
891
A bar
892
D baz
893
? wooley
894
895
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
896
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
897
898
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
899
900
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
901
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
902
903
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
904
905
INTERNALS:
906
907
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
908
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
909
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
910
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
911
912
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
913
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
914
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
915
916
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
917
918
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
919
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
920
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
921
(Alexander Belchenko)
922
923
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
924
Pool)
925
926
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
927
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
928
929
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
930
931
BUG FIXES:
932
933
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
934
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
935
936
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
937
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
938
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
939
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
940
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
941
942
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
943
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
944
945
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
946
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
947
948
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
949
matcher.
950
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
951
952
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
953
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
954
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
955
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
956
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
957
958
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
959
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
960
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
961
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
962
963
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
964
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
965
966
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
967
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
968
969
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
970
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
971
972
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
981
982
IMPROVEMENTS:
983
984
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
985
tree from a branch.
986
(Daniel Silverstone)
987
988
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
989
operations are substantially faster.
990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
991
992
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
993
tree from some other url. For example:
994
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
995
(Daniel Silverstone)
996
997
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
998
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
999
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1000
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1001
1002
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1003
(Andrew Bennetts)
1004
1005
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1006
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1007
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1008
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1009
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1010
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1011
1012
INTERNALS:
1013
1014
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1015
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1016
(Martin Pool)
1017
1018
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1019
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1020
(John Arbash Meinel)
1021
1022
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1023
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1024
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1025
(John Arbash Meinel)
1026
1027
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1028
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1029
1030
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1031
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1032
1033
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1034
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1035
Bennetts)
1036
1037
BUG FIXES:
1038
1039
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1040
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1041
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1042
1043
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1044
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1045
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1046
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1047
1048
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1049
1050
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1051
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1052
1053
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1054
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1055
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1056
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1057
1058
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1059
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1060
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1061
1062
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1063
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1064
them as full references rather than integers.
1065
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1066
1067
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1068
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1069
1070
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1071
1072
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1073
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1074
1075
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1076
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1077
1078
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1079
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1080
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1081
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1082
1083
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1084
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1085
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1086
1087
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1088
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1089
1090
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1091
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1092
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1093
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1094
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1095
1096
TESTING:
1097
1098
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1099
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1100
1101
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1102
1103
INTERNALS:
1104
1105
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1106
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1107
(John Arbash Meinel)
1108
1109
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1110
1111
IMPROVEMENTS:
1112
1113
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1114
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1115
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1116
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1117
1118
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1119
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1120
1121
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1122
1123
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1124
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1125
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1126
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1127
1128
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1129
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1130
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1131
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1132
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1133
1134
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1135
1136
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1137
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1138
1139
INTERNALS:
1140
1141
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1142
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1143
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1144
1145
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1146
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1147
(John Arbash Meinel)
1148
1149
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1150
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1151
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1152
1153
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1154
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1155
(Aaron Bentley)
1156
1157
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1158
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1159
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1160
1161
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1162
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1163
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1164
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1165
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1166
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1167
1168
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1169
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1170
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1171
(Robert Collins)
1172
1173
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1174
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1175
1176
BUG FIXES:
1177
1178
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1179
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1180
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1181
#63360, #66349)
1182
1183
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1184
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1185
1186
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1187
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1188
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1189
1190
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1191
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1192
1193
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1194
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1195
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1196
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1197
1198
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1199
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1200
1201
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1202
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1203
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1204
1205
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1206
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1207
1208
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1209
1210
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1211
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1212
#32054)
1213
1214
TESTING:
1215
1216
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1217
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1218
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1219
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1220
1221
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1222
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1223
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1224
1225
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1230
1231
BUG FIXES:
1232
1233
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1234
1235
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1236
Arbash Meinel).
1237
1238
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1239
1240
IMPROVEMENTS:
1241
1242
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1243
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1244
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1245
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1246
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1247
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1248
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1249
1250
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1251
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1252
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1253
1254
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1255
1256
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1257
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1258
1259
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1260
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1261
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1262
(Robert Collins)
1263
1264
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1265
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1266
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1267
(John Arbash Meinel)
1268
1269
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1270
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1271
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1272
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1273
Pool)
1274
1275
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1276
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1277
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1278
(John Arbash Meinel)
1279
1280
BUG FIXES:
1281
1282
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1283
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1284
1285
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1286
1287
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1288
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1289
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1290
1291
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1292
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1293
1294
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1295
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1296
1297
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1299
1300
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1301
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1302
1303
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1304
1305
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1306
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1307
1308
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1309
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1310
1311
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1312
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1313
1314
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1315
(John Arbash Meinel)
1316
1317
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1318
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1319
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1320
1321
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1322
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1323
1324
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1325
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1326
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1327
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1328
1329
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1330
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1331
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1332
1333
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1334
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1335
1336
PORTABILITY:
1337
1338
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1339
1340
INTERNALS:
1341
1342
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1343
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1344
(John Arbash Meinel)
1345
1346
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1347
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1348
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1349
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1350
1351
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1352
(Andrew Bennetts)
1353
1354
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1355
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1356
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1357
1358
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1359
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1360
1361
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1362
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1363
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1364
1365
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1366
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1367
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1368
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1369
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1370
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1371
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1372
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1373
caller to repeat their request.
1374
(John Arbash Meinel)
1375
1376
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1377
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1378
1379
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1380
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1381
1382
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1383
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1384
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1385
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1386
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1387
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1388
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1389
1390
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1391
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1392
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1393
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1394
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1395
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1396
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1397
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1398
(Robert Collins)
1399
1400
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1401
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1402
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1403
1404
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1405
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1406
1407
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1408
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1409
1410
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1411
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1412
1413
TESTING:
1414
1415
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1416
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1417
1418
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1419
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1420
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1421
1422
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1423
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1424
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1425
1426
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1427
1428
IMPROVEMENTS:
1429
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1430
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1431
1432
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1433
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1434
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1435
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1436
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1437
1438
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1439
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1440
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1441
1442
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1443
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1444
1445
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1446
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1447
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1448
1449
BUG FIXES:
1450
1451
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1452
1453
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1454
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1455
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1456
1457
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1458
1459
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1460
1461
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1462
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1463
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1464
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1465
1466
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1467
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1468
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1469
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1470
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1471
1472
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1473
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1474
1475
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1476
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1477
1478
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1479
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1480
1481
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1482
in handling of revision properties.
1483
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1484
1485
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1486
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1487
1488
INTERNALS:
1489
1490
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1491
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1492
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1493
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1494
(John Arbash Meinel)
1495
1496
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1497
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1498
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1499
1500
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1501
1502
SURPRISES:
1503
1504
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1505
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1506
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1507
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1508
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1509
a more conservative list than the old default.
1510
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1511
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1512
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1513
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1514
1515
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1516
to more locations than just branch locations.
1517
(Aaron Bentley)
1518
1519
IMPROVEMENTS:
1520
1521
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1522
revno:N:branch. For example,
1523
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1524
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1525
1526
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1527
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1528
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1529
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1530
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1531
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1532
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1533
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1534
#42517, #42514)
1535
1536
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1537
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1538
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1539
(Malone #3507)
1540
1541
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1542
(Alexander Belchenko)
1543
1544
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1545
1546
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1547
(Robert Collins).
1548
1549
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1550
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1551
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1552
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1553
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1554
(John Arbash Meinel)
1555
1556
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1557
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1558
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1559
grained analysis of performance.
1560
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1561
1562
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1563
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1564
1565
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1566
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1567
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1568
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1569
file. (Robert Collins).
1570
1571
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1572
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1573
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1574
1575
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1576
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1577
Matthieu Moy)
1578
1579
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1580
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1581
1582
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1583
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1584
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1585
the same way you would apply another branch.
1586
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1587
1588
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1589
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1590
1591
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1592
(Michael Ellerman)
1593
1594
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1595
(Aaron Bentley)
1596
1597
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1598
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1599
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1600
1601
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1602
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1603
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1604
1605
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1606
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1607
1608
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1609
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1610
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1611
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1612
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1613
1614
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1615
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1616
1617
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1618
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1619
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1620
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1621
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1622
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1623
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1624
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1625
1626
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1627
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1628
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1629
1630
BUG FIXES:
1631
1632
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1633
tests not to run.
1634
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1635
1636
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1637
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1638
1639
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1640
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1641
1642
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1643
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1644
1645
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1646
1647
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1648
(John Arbash Meinel)
1649
1650
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1651
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1652
1653
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1654
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1655
and y.
1656
1657
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1658
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1659
1660
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1661
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1662
1663
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1664
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1665
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1666
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1667
1668
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1669
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1670
1671
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1672
1673
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1674
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1675
1676
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1677
1678
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1679
1680
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1681
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1682
1683
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1684
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1685
1686
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1687
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1688
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1689
1690
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1691
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1692
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1693
1694
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1695
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1696
1697
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1698
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1699
1700
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1701
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1702
1703
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1704
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1705
1706
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1707
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1708
1709
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1710
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1711
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1712
1713
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1714
1715
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1716
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1717
1718
INTERNALS:
1719
1720
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1721
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1722
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1723
1724
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1725
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1726
1727
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1728
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1729
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1730
1731
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1732
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1733
1734
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1735
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1736
(Martin Pool)
1737
1738
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1739
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1740
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1741
1742
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1743
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1744
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1745
1746
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1747
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1748
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1749
1750
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1751
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1752
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1753
1754
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1755
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1756
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1757
1758
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1759
instead. (Robert Collins)
1760
1761
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1762
1763
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1764
1765
BUG FIXES:

1768
1769
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1770
1771
BUG FIXES:
1772
1773
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1774
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1775
1776
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1777
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1778
1779
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1780
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1781

1794
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1795
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1796

list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1798
1799
NEW FEATURES:
1800
1801
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1802
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1803
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1804
1805
INTERNALS:
1806
1807
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1808
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1809
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1810
1811
TESTING:
1812
1813
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1814

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1817
1818
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1819
1820
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1821
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1822
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1823
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1824
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1825
will keep the same format.
1826
1827
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1828
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1829
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1830
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1831
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1832
1833
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1834
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1835
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1836
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1837
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1838
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1839
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1840
1841
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1842
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1843
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1844
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1845
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1846
1847
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1848
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1849
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1850
arrangement.
1851
1852
1853
IMPROVEMENTS:
1854
1855
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1856
convention. Paths now take the form::
1857
1858
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1859
or
1860
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1861
1862
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1863
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1864
1865
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1866
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1867
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1868
1869
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1870
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1871
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1872
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1873
1874
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1875
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1876
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1877
1878
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1879
1880
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1881
1882
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1883
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1884
commits::
1885
1886
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1887
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1888
| xargs bzr re-sign
1889
1890
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1891
1892
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1893
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1894
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1895
(Robert Collins)
1896
1897
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1898
1899
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1900
1901
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1902
'.moved'.
1903
1904
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1905
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1906
1907
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1908
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1909
Daniel Silverstone)
1910
1911
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1912
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1913
Martin Pool)
1914
1915
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1916
1917
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1918
1919
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1920
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1921
1922
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1923
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1924
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1925
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1926
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1927
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1928
1929
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1930
1931
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1932
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1933
(Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1936
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1937
1938
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1939
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1940
1941
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1942
1943
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1944
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1945
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1946
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1947
specification by Martin Pool.
1948
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1949
1950
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1951
Belchenko)
1952
1953
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1954
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1955
1956
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1957
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1958
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1959
1960
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1961
1962
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1963
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1964
(Robert Collins)
1965
1966
CHANGES:
1967
1968
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1969
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1970
1971
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1972
1973
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1974
1975
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1976
(Olaf Conradi)
1977
1978
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1979
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1980
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1981
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1982
1983
INTERNALS:
1984
1985
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1986
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1987
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1988
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1989
1990
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1991
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1992
tried. (Martin Pool)
1993
1994
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1995
(Martin Pool)
1996
1997
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1998
1999
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2000
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2001
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2002
2003
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2004
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2005
2006
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2007
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2008
paths. (Robert Collins)
2009
2010
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2011
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2012
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2013
2014
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2015
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2016
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2017
2018
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2019
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2020
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2021
2022
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2023
(Olaf Conradi)
2024
2025
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2026
(Olaf Conradi)
2027
2028
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2029
2030
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2031
2032
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2033
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2034
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2035
(Robert Collins)
2036
2037
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2038
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2039
2040
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2041
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2042
check. (Robert Collins)
2043
2044
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2045
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2046
2047
TESTING:
2048
2049
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2050
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2051
2052
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2053
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2054
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2055
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2056
2057
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2058
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2059
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2060
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2061
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2062
2063
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2064
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2065
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2066
2067
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2068
2069
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2070
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

2074
CHANGES:
2075
2076
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2077
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2078
2079
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2080
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2081
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2082
(Johan Rydberg)
2083
2084
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2085
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2086
2087
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2088
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2089
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2090
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2091
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2092
2093
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2094
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2095
used. (Robert Collins)
2096
2097
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2098
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2099
(James Henstridge)
2100
2101
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2102
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2103
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2104
2105
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2106
ignore list.
2107
2108
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2109
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2110
2111
IMPROVEMENTS:
2112
2113
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2114
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2115
2116
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2117
2118
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2119
2120
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2121
tree. (Robert Collins)
2122
2123
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2124
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2125
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2126
(Robert Collins)
2127
2128
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2129
that they be kept.
2130
2131
* Tweaks to short log printing
2132
2133
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2134
(Aaron Bentley)
2135
2136
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2137
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2138
2139
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2140
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2141
2142
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2143
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2144
2145
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2146
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2147
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2148
2149
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2150
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2151
2152
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2153
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2154
requests.
2155
2156
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2157
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2158
2159
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2160
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2161
2162
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2163
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2164
2165
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2166
(Denys Duchier)
2167
2168
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2169
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2170
2171
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2172
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2173
2174
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2175
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2176
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2177
2178
BUG FIXES:
2179
2180
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2181
2182
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2183
2184
* Error when run with -OO
2185
2186
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2187
(Martin Pool)
2188
2189
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2190
2191
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2192
2193
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2194
ignored by diff and status
2195
2196
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2197
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2198
2199
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2200
2201
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2202
2203
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2204
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2205
2206
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2207
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2208
2209
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2210
(Harald Meland)
2211
2212
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2213
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2214
2215
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2216
2217
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2218
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2219
2220
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2221
(Martin Pool)
2222
2223
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2224
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2225
2226
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2227
2228
TESTING:
2229
2230
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2231
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2232
2233
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2234
2235
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2236
2237
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2238
2239
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2240
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2241
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2242
2243
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2244
2245
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2246
(John Arbash Meinel)
2247
2248
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2249
2250
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2251
If adding a new test script please add that to
2252
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2253
2254
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2255
imported. (Martin Pool)
2256
2257
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2258
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2259
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2260
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2261
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2262
(Robert Collins)
2263
2264
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2265
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2266
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2267
2268
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2269
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2270
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2271
2272
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2273
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2274
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2275
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2276
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2277
(Robert Collins).
2278
2279
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2280
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2281
(Robert Collins).
2282
2283
INTERNALS:
2284
2285
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2286
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2287
2288
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2289
function. (Robert Collins)
2290
2291
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2292
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2293
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2294
2295
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2296
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2297
(Robert Collins)
2298
2299
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2300
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2301
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2302
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2303
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2304
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2305
version. (Robert Collins)
2306
2307
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2308
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2309
2310
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2311
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2312
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2313
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2314
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2315
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2316
2317
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2318
(Robert Collins)
2319
2320
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2321
2322
add()
2323
commit()
2324
move()
2325
rename_one()
2326
unknowns()
2327
2328
(Robert Collins)
2329
2330
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2331
2332
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2333
2334
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2335
Pool)
2336
2337
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2338
query method. (Robert Collins)
2339
2340
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2341
(Denys Duchier)
2342
2343
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2344
(Michael Ellerman)
2345
2346
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2347
(Michael Ellerman)
2348
2349
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2350
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2351
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2352
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2353
2354
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2355
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2356
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2357
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2358
2359
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2360
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2365
2366
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2367
(John A Meinel)
2368
2369
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2370
conflicts.
2371
(Aaron Bentley)
2372
2373
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2374
a separator, not ':'.
2375
(Aaron Bentley)
2376
2377
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2378
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2379
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2380
2381
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2382
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2383
(Robert Collins)
2384
2385
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2386
has been added that suppresses all output.
2387
2388
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2389
Adams.
2390
2391
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2392
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2393
2394
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2395
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2396
2397
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2398
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2401
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2402
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2403
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2404
2405
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2406
2407
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2408
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2409
2410
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2411
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2412
2413
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2414
output directory, if one was supplied.
2415
2416
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2417
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2418
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2419
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2420
2421
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2422
2423
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2424
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2425
2426
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2427
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2428
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2429
2430
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2431
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2432
2433
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2434
(Aaron Bentley)
2435
2436
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2437
2438
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2439
2440
TESTING:
2441
2442
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2443
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2444
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2445
2446
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2447
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2448
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2449
2450
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2451
is given. (Martin Pool)
2452
2453
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2454
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2455
file. (Robert Collins)
2456
2457
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2458
(Martin Pool)
2459
2460
INTERNALS:
2461
2462
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2463
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2464
representation. (Martin Pool).
2465
2466
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2467
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2468
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2469
2470
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2471
(Robert Collins)
2472
2473
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2474
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2475
Magnus Therning.
2476
2477
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2478
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2479
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2480
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2481
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2482
2483
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2484
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2485
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2486
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2487
python path. (Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2490
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2491
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2492
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2493
2494
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2495
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2496
2497
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2498
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2499
(Robert Collins)
2500
2501
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2502
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2503
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2504
2505
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2506
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2507
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2508
2509
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2510
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2511
2512
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2513
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2514
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2515
(Robert Collins)
2516
2517
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2518
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2519
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2520
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2521
(Robert Collins)
2522
2523
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2524
(Robert Collins)
2525
2526
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2527
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2528
(Robert Collins)
2529
2530
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2531
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2532
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2533
2534
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2535
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2536
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2537
2538
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2539
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2540
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2541
2542
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2543
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2544
2545
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2546
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2547
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2548
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2549
caller. (Robert Collins)
2550
2551
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2552
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2553
(Robert Collins).
2554
2555
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2556
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2557
(Aaron Bentley)
2558
2559
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2560
2561
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2562
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2563
2564
BUG FIXES:
2565
2566
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2567
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2568
2569
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2570
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2571
2572
2573
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2574
2575
BUG FIXES:
2576
2577
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2578
allow directories to be listed.
2579
2580
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2581
upgrading branch format.
2582
2583
PERFORMANCE:
2584
2585
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

2588
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2589
2590
NOTES:
2591
2592
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2593
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2594
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2595
high-latency connections.
2596
2597
BUG FIXES:
2598
2599
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2600
Rob Weir.
2601
2602
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2603
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2604
2605
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2606
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2607
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2608
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2609
2610
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2611
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2612
2613
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2614
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2615
2616
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2617
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2618
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2619
2620
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2621
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2622
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2623
Robert Collins
2624
2625
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2626
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2627
2628
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2629
different partial views of history.
2630
2631
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2632
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2633
2634
IMPROVEMENTS:
2635
2636
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2637
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2638
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2639
2640
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2641
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2642
'bzr upgrade'.
2643
2644
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2645
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2646
2647
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2648
Niemeyer.
2649
2650
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2651
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2652
2653
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2654
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2655
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2656
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2657
2658
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2659
2660
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2661
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2662
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2663
2664
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2665
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2666
2667
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2668
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2669
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2670
2671
2672
INTERNALS:
2673
2674
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2675
for your viewing pleasure.
2676
2677
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2678
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2679
2680
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2681
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2682
handling of such circumstances.
2683
2684
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2685
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2686
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2687
2688
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2689
2690
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2691
we call them revisions not patches.
2692
2693
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2694
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2695
2696
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2697
giving the revision *of that file*.
2698
2699
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2700
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2701
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2702
2703
TESTING:
2704
2705
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2706
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2707
2708
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2709
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

2714
BUG FIXES:
2715
2716
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2717
2718
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2719
(Robert Collins).
2720
2721
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2722
2723
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2724
2725
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2726
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2727
2728
IMPROVEMENTS:
2729
2730
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2731
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2732
2733
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2734
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2735
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2736
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2737
Robey Pointer
2738
2739
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2740
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2741
2742
INTERNALS:
2743
2744
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2745
2746
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2747
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2748
2749
2750
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20

* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2755
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2756
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2757
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2758
Michael Ellerman.
2759
2760
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2761
(Nir Soffer)
2762
2763
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2764
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2765
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2766
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2767
for the operating system is still tried.
2768
2769
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2770
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2771
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2772
2773
2774
INTERNALS:
2775
2776
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2777
2778
BUG FIXES:
2779
2780
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2781
2782
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2783
branch.
2784
2785
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2786
read.
2787
2788
2789
PORTABILITY:
2790
2791
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2792
2793
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

2796
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2797
2798
NEW FEATURES:
2799
2800
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2801
help with intelligent shell completion.
2802
2803
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2804
2805
2806
ENHANCEMENTS:
2807
2808
* Much better merge support.
2809
2810
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2811
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2812
like emacs smerge.
2813
2814
2815
BUG FIXES:
2816
2817
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2818
mention revisions that are not present.
2819
2820
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2821
2822
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2823
2824
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2825
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2826
2827
2828
CHANGES:
2829
2830
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2831
2832
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2833
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2834
--help themselves.
2835
2836
2837
LIBRARY:
2838
2839
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2840
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2841
libraries.
2842
2843
2844
2845
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2846
2847
NEW FEATURES:
2848
2849
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2850
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2851
2852
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2853
2854
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2855
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2856
2857
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2858
FOO.
2859
2860
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2861
2862
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2863
the Unix command.
2864
2865
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2866
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2867
2868
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2869
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2870
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2871
2872
2873
ENHANCEMENTS:
2874
2875
* Faster working tree operations.
2876
2877
2878
CHANGES:
2879
2880
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2881
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2882
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2883
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2884
2885
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2886
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2887
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2888
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2889
standard plugins directory.
2890
2891
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2892
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2893
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2894
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2895
2896
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2897
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2898
2899
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2900
disk.
2901
2902
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2903
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2904
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2905
2906
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2907
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2908
2909
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2910
line options must come before the command name because they
2911
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2912
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2913
it.
2914
2915
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2916
2917
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2918
is available with ``--short``.
2919
2920
2921
BUG FIXES:
2922
2923
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2924
2925
2926
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2927
2928
CHANGES:
2929
2930
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2931
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2932
2933
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2934
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2935
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2936
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2937
2938
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2939
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2940
with the ``--forward`` option.
2941
2942
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2943
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2944
field.
2945
2946
2947
ENHANCEMENTS:
2948
2949
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2950
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2951
2952
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2953
2954
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2955
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2956
2957
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2958
2959
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2960
either read or write mode.
2961
2962
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2963
2964
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2965
affected that file.
2966
2967
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2968
2969
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2970
suggested by LarstiQ.
2971
2972
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2973
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2974
2975
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2976
a filename.
2977
2978
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2979
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2980
2981
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2982
haven't changed since the previous time.
2983
2984
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2985
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2986
2987
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2988
2989
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2990
2991
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2992
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2993
2994
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2995
options through to an external GNU diff.
2996
2997
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2998
their contents.
2999
3000
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3001
from a branch.
3002
3003
3004
BUG FIXES:
3005
3006
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3007
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3008
3009
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3010
metacharacters.
3011
3012
3013
TESTING:
3014
3015
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3016
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3017
the tests.
3018
3019
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3020
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3021
3022
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3023
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3024
3025
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3026
under a different version.
3027
3028
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3029
3030
3031
INTERNAL:
3032
3033
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3034
3035
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3036
Scott James Remnant.
3037
3038
* Better help messages for many commands.
3039
3040
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3041
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3042
3043
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3044
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3045
3046
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3047
3048
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3049
3050
* New AtomicFile class.
3051
3052
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3053
3054
3055
PORTABILITY:
3056
3057
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3058
2.4 is now only recommended.
3059
3060
3061
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3062
3063
ENHANCEMENTS:
3064
3065
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3066
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3067
3068
* More default ignore patterns.
3069
3070
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3071
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3072
3073
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3074
3075
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3076
by Jason Diamon.
3077
3078
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3079
3080
3081
CHANGES:
3082
3083
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3084
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3085
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3086
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3087
there are DNS problems.
3088
3089
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3090
3091
3092
BUG FIXES:
3093
3094
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3095
3096
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3097
3098
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3099
trailing newlines properly.
3100
3101
3102
INTERNAL:
3103
3104
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3105
Matt Brubeck.
3106
3107
* More tests in test.sh.
3108
3109
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3110
directory and delete it when done.
3111
3112
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3113
3114
3115
PORTABILITY:
3116
3117
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3118
Bennetts.
3119
3120
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3121
from QuantumG.
3122

3124
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3125
3126
ENHANCEMENTS:
3127
3128
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3129
in the tree.
3130
3131
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3132
3133
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3134
and/or directory.
3135
3136
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3137
directory.
3138
3139
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3140
3141
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3142
3143
CHANGES:
3144
3145
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3146
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3147
will do for now.)
3148
3149
PORTABILITY:
3150
3151
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3152
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3153
Nielsen.
3154
3155
INTERNAL:
3156
3157
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3158
3159
TESTING:
3160
3161
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3172
3173
ENHANCEMENTS:
3174
3175
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3176
3177
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3178
rather than replacing it.
3179
3180
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3181
3182
* More help topics.
3183
3184
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3185
branch.
3186
3187
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3188
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3189
3190
* Performance improvements.
3191
3192
* New global --profile option.
3193
3194
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3195
the root directory only.
3196
3197
3198
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3199
3200
ENHANCEMENTS:
3201
3202
* More information from info command.
3203
3204
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3205
3206
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3207
committing to stores.
3208
3209
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3210
3211
BUG FIXES:
3212
3213
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3214
3215
PORTABILITY:
3216
3217
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3218
installation easier.
3219
3220
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3221
supported).
3222
3223
3224
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3225
3226
ENHANCEMENTS:
