IN DEVELOPMENT
2
3
INTERNALS:
4
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6
object.
7
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
8
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
9
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10
11
IMPROVEMENTS:
12
13
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
14
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
15
Aaron Bentley)
16
17
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
18
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
19
20
BUGFIXES:
21
22
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
23
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
24
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
25
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
26
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
27
28
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
29
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)

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

bzr 0.15 2007-04-01
380
381
BUGFIXES:
382
383
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
384
(Aaron Bentley)
385
386
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
387
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
388
(Martin Pool)
389
390
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
391
392
CHANGES:
393
394
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
395
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
396
(Martin Pool)
397
398
IMPROVEMENTS:
399
400
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
401
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
402
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
403
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
404
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
405
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
406
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
407
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
408
path. (vila)
409
410
INTERNALS:
411
412
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
413
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
414
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
415
416
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
417
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
418
(Martin Pool)
419
420
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
421
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
422
(John Arbash Meinel)
423
424
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
425
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
426
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
427
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
428
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
429
430
BUGFIXES:
431
432
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
433
(vila, #92195)
434
435
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
436
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
437
438
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
439
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
440
441
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
442
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
443
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
444
445
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
446
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
447
448
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
449
last-changed-revision for directories. The
450
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
451
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
452
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
453
454
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
455
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
456
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
457
458
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
462
463
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
464
465
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
466
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
467
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
468
469
IMPROVEMENTS:
470
471
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
472
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
473
474
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
475
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
476
477
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
478
479
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
480
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
481
482
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
483
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
484
485
INTERNALS:
486
487
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
488
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
489
490
BUGFIXES:
491
492
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
493
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
494
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
495
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
496
497
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
498
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
499
500
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
501
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
502
503
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
504
(Marien Zwart)
505
506
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
507

510
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
511
512
SURPRISES:
513
514
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
515
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
516
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
517
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
518
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
519
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
520
521
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
522
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
523
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
524
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
525
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
526
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
527
development.
528
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
529
530
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
531
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
532
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
533
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
534
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
535
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
536
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
537
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
538
539
IMPROVEMENTS:
540
541
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
542
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
543
544
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
545
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
546
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
547
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
548
does exist.
549
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
550
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
551
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
552
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
553
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
554
555
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
556
(Aaron Bentley)
557
558
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
559
(Aaron Bentley)
560
561
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
562
(Robert Collins)
563
564
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
565
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
566
(Aaron Bentley)
567
568
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
569
(Aaron Bentley)
570
571
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
572
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
573
574
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
575
directory. (Martin Pool)
576
577
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
578
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
579
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
580
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
581
582
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
583
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
584
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
585
in docs/configuration.txt.
586
587
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
588
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
589
bind location.
590
591
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
592
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
593
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
594
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
595
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
596
repositories. (Martin Pool)
597
598
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
599
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
600
601
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
602
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
603
604
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
605
(Aaron Bentley)
606
607
INTERNALS:
608
609
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
610
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
611
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
612
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
613
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
614
(John Arbash Meinel)
615
616
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
617
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
618
(Aaron Bentley)
619
620
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
621
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
622
(John Arbash Meinel)
623
624
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
625
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
626
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
627
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
628
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
629
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
630
631
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
632
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
633
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
634
635
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
636
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
637
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
638
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
639
repository.
640
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
641
642
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
643
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
644
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
645
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
646
647
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
648
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
649
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
650
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
651
652
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
653
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
654
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
655
656
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
657
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
658
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
659
660
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
661
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
662
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
663
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
664
665
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
666
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
667
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
668
669
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
670
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
671
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
672
673
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
674
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
675
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
676
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
677
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
678
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
679
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
680
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
681
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
682
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
683
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
684
685
BUGFIXES:
686
687
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
688
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
689
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
690
691
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
692
(Aaron Bentley)
693
694
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
695
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
696
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
697
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
698
699
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
700
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
701
#83954).
702
703
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
704
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
705
706
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
707
708
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
709
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
710
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
711
712
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
713
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
714
715
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
717
718
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
720
721
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
722
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
723
724
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
725

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
727
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
728
729
TESTING:
730
731

737
IMPROVEMENTS:
738
739
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
740
741
BUG FIXES:
742
743
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
744
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
745
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
746
747
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
748
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
749
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
750
751
752
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
753
754
IMPROVEMENTS:
755
756
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
757
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
758
server, then you can write over the http connection.
759
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
760
761
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
762
(Marius Kruger)
763
764
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
765
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
766
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
767
768
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
769
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
770
771
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
772
(Aaron Bentley)
773
774
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
775
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
776
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
777
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
778
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
779
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
780
781
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
782
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
783
should enable you to do::
784
785
[/home/user/project]
786
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
787
push_location:policy = appendpath
788
789
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
790
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
791
(James Henstridge)
792
793
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
794
for each file. For example::
795
796
$ bzr status --short
797
A foo
798
A bar
799
D baz
800
? wooley
801
802
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
803
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
804
805
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
806
807
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
808
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
809
810
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
811
812
INTERNALS:
813
814
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
815
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
816
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
817
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
818
819
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
820
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
821
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
822
823
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
824
825
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
826
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
827
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
828
(Alexander Belchenko)
829
830
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
831
Pool)
832
833
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
834
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
835
836
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
837
838
BUG FIXES:
839
840
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
841
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
842
843
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
844
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
845
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
846
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
847
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
848
849
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
850
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
851
852
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
853
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
854
855
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
856
matcher.
857
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
858
859
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
860
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
861
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
862
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
863
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
864
865
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
866
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
867
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
868
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
869
870
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
871
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
872
873
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
874
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
875
876
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
877
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
890
891
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
892
tree from a branch.
893
(Daniel Silverstone)
894
895
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
896
operations are substantially faster.
897
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
898
899
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
900
tree from some other url. For example:
901
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
902
(Daniel Silverstone)
903
904
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
905
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
906
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
907
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
908
909
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
910
(Andrew Bennetts)
911
912
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
913
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
914
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
915
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
916
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
917
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
918
919
INTERNALS:
920
921
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
922
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
923
(Martin Pool)
924
925
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
926
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
927
(John Arbash Meinel)
928
929
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
930
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
931
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
932
(John Arbash Meinel)
933
934
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
935
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
936
937
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
938
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
939
940
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
941
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
942
Bennetts)
943
944
BUG FIXES:
945
946
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
947
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
948
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
949
950
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
951
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
952
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
953
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
954
955
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
956
957
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
958
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
959
960
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
961
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
962
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
964
965
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
966
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
967
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
968
969
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
970
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
971
them as full references rather than integers.
972
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
973
974
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
975
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
976
977
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
978
979
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
980
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
981
982
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
983
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
984
985
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
986
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
987
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
988
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
989
990
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
991
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
992
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
993
994
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
995
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
996
997
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
998
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
999
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1000
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1001
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1002
1003
TESTING:
1004
1005
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1006
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

1008
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1009
1010
INTERNALS:
1011
1012
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1013
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.

(John Arbash Meinel)
1015
1016
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1017
1018
IMPROVEMENTS:
1019
1020
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1021
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1022
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1023
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1024
1025
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1026
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1027
1028
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1029
1030
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1031
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1032
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1033
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1034
1035
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1036
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1037
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1038
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1039
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1040
1041
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1042
1043
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1044
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1045
1046
INTERNALS:
1047
1048
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1049
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1050
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1051
1052
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1053
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1054
(John Arbash Meinel)
1055
1056
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1057
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1058
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1059
1060
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1061
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1062
(Aaron Bentley)
1063
1064
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1065
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1066
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1067
1068
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1069
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1070
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1071
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1072
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1073
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1074
1075
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1076
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1077
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1078
(Robert Collins)
1079
1080
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1081
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1082
1083
BUG FIXES:
1084
1085
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1086
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1087
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1088
#63360, #66349)
1089
1090
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1091
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1092
1093
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1094
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1095
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1096
1097
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1098
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1099
1100
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1101
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1102
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1103
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1104
1105
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1106
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1107
1108
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1109
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1110
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1111
1112
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1113
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1114
1115
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1116
1117
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1118
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1119
#32054)
1120
1121
TESTING:
1122
1123
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1124
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1125
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1126
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1127
1128
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1129
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1130
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1131
1132
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

1136
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1137
1138
BUG FIXES:
1139
1140
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1141
1142
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1143
Arbash Meinel).
1144
1145
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1146
1147
IMPROVEMENTS:
1148
1149
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1150
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1151
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1152
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1153
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1154
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1155
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1156
1157
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1158
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1159
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1160
1161
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1162
1163
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1164
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1165
1166
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1167
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1168
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1169
(Robert Collins)
1170
1171
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1172
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1173
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1174
(John Arbash Meinel)
1175
1176
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1177
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1178
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1179
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1180
Pool)
1181
1182
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1183
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1184
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1185
(John Arbash Meinel)
1186
1187
BUG FIXES:
1188
1189
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1190
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1191
1192
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1193
1194
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1195
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1196
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1197
1198
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1199
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1200
1201
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1202
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1203
1204
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1206
1207
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1208
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1209
1210
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1211
1212
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1213
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1214
1215
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1216
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1217
1218
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1219
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1220
1221
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1222
(John Arbash Meinel)
1223
1224
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1225
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1226
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1227
1228
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1229
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1230
1231
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1232
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1233
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1234
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1235
1236
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1237
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1238
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1239
1240
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1241
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1242
1243
PORTABILITY:
1244
1245
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1246
1247
INTERNALS:
1248
1249
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1250
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1251
(John Arbash Meinel)
1252
1253
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1254
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1255
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1256
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1257
1258
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1259
(Andrew Bennetts)
1260
1261
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1262
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1263
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1264
1265
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1266
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1267
1268
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1269
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1270
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1271
1272
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1273
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1274
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1275
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1276
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1277
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1278
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1279
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1280
caller to repeat their request.
1281
(John Arbash Meinel)
1282
1283
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1284
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1285
1286
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1287
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1288
1289
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1290
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1291
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1292
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1293
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1294
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1295
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1296
1297
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1298
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1299
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1300
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1301
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1302
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1303
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1304
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1305
(Robert Collins)
1306
1307
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1308
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1309
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1310
1311
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1312
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1313
1314
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1315
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1316
1317
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1318
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1319
1320
TESTING:
1321
1322
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1323
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1324
1325
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1326
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1327
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1328
1329
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1330
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1331
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1332
1333
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1334
1335
IMPROVEMENTS:
1336
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1337
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1338
1339
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1340
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1341
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1342
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1343
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1344
1345
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1346
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1347
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1348
1349
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1350
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1351
1352
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1353
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1354
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1355
1356
BUG FIXES:
1357
1358
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1359
1360
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1361
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1362
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1363
1364
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1365
1366
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1367
1368
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1369
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1370
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1371
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1372
1373
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1374
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1375
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1376
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1377
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1378
1379
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1380
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1381
1382
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1383
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1384
1385
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1386
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1387
1388
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1389
in handling of revision properties.
1390
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1391
1392
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1393
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1394
1395
INTERNALS:
1396
1397
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1398
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1399
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1400
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1401
(John Arbash Meinel)
1402
1403
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1404
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1405
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1406
1407
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1408
1409
SURPRISES:
1410
1411
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1412
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1413
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1414
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1415
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1416
a more conservative list than the old default.
1417
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1418
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1419
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1420
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1421
1422
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1423
to more locations than just branch locations.
1424
(Aaron Bentley)
1425
1426
IMPROVEMENTS:
1427
1428
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1429
revno:N:branch. For example,
1430
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1431
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1432
1433
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1434
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1435
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1436
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1437
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1438
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1439
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1440
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1441
#42517, #42514)
1442
1443
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1444
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1445
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1446
(Malone #3507)
1447
1448
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1449
(Alexander Belchenko)
1450
1451
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1452
1453
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1454
(Robert Collins).
1455
1456
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1457
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1458
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1459
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1460
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1461
(John Arbash Meinel)
1462
1463
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1464
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1465
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1466
grained analysis of performance.
1467
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1468
1469
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1470
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1471
1472
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1473
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1474
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1475
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1476
file. (Robert Collins).
1477
1478
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1479
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1480
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1481
1482
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1483
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1484
Matthieu Moy)
1485
1486
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1487
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1488
1489
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1490
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1491
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1492
the same way you would apply another branch.
1493
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1494
1495
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1496
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1497
1498
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1499
(Michael Ellerman)
1500
1501
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1502
(Aaron Bentley)
1503
1504
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1505
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1506
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1507
1508
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1509
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1510
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1511
1512
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1513
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1514
1515
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1516
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1517
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1518
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1519
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1520
1521
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1522
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1523
1524
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1525
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1526
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1527
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1528
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1529
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1530
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1531
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1532
1533
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1534
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1535
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1536
1537
BUG FIXES:
1538
1539
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1540
tests not to run.
1541
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1542
1543
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1544
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1545
1546
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1547
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1548
1549
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1550
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1551
1552
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1553
1554
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1555
(John Arbash Meinel)
1556
1557
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1558
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1559
1560
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1561
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1562
and y.
1563
1564
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1565
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1566
1567
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1568
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1569
1570
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1571
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1572
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1573
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1574
1575
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1576
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1577
1578
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1579
1580
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1581
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1582
1583
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1584
1585
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1586
1587
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1588
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1589
1590
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1591
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1592
1593
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1594
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1595
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1596
1597
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1598
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1599
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1600
1601
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1602
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1603
1604
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1605
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1606
1607
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1608
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1609
1610
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1611
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1612
1613
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1614
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1615
1616
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1617
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1618
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1619
1620
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1621
1622
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1623
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1624
1625
INTERNALS:
1626
1627
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1628
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1629
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1630
1631
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1632
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1633
1634
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1635
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1636
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1637
1638
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1639
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1640
1641
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1642
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1643
(Martin Pool)
1644
1645
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1646
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1647
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1648
1649
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1650
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1651
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1652
1653
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1654
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1655
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1656
1657
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1658
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1659
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1660
1661
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1662
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1663
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1664
1665
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1666
instead. (Robert Collins)
1667
1668
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1669
1670
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1671
1672
BUG FIXES:
1673
1674
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1675
1676
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1677
1678
BUG FIXES:
1679
1680
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1681
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1682
1683
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1684
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1685
1686
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1687
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1688
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1689
1690
CHANGES:
1691
1692
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1693
1694
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1695
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1696
1697
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1698
1699
CHANGES:
1700
1701
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1702
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1703
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1704
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1705
1706
NEW FEATURES:
1707
1708
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1709
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1710
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1711
1712
INTERNALS:
1713
1714
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1715
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1716
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1717
1718
TESTING:
1719
1720
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1721
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1722
1723
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1724
1725
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1726
1727
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1728
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1729
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1730
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1731
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1732
will keep the same format.
1733
1734
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1735
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1736
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1737
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1738
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1739
1740
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1741
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1742
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1743
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1744
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1745
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1746
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1747
1748
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1749
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1750
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1751
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1752
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1753
1754
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1755
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1756
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1757
arrangement.
1758
1759
1760
IMPROVEMENTS:
1761
1762
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1763
convention. Paths now take the form::
1764
1765
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1766
or
1767
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1768
1769
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1770
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1771
1772
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1773
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1774
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1775
1776
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1777
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1778
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1779
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1780
1781
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1782
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1783
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1784
1785
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1786
1787
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1788
1789
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1790
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1791
commits::
1792
1793
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1794
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1795
| xargs bzr re-sign
1796
1797
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1798
1799
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1800
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1801
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1802
(Robert Collins)
1803
1804
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1805
1806
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1807
1808
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1809
'.moved'.
1810
1811
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1812
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1813
1814
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1815
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1816
Daniel Silverstone)
1817
1818
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1819
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1820
Martin Pool)
1821
1822
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1823
1824
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1825
1826
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1827
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1828
1829
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1830
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1831
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1832
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1833
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1834
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1835
1836
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1837
1838
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1839
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1840
(Robert Collins)
1841
1842
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1843
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1844
1845
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1846
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1847
1848
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1849
1850
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1851
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1852
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1853
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1854
specification by Martin Pool.
1855
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1856
1857
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1858
Belchenko)
1859
1860
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1861
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1862
1863
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1864
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1865
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1866
1867
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1868
1869
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1870
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1871
(Robert Collins)
1872
1873
CHANGES:
1874
1875
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1876
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1877
1878
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1879
1880
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1881
1882
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1883
(Olaf Conradi)
1884
1885
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1886
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1887
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1888
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1889
1890
INTERNALS:
1891
1892
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1893
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1894
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1895
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1896
1897
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1898
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1899
tried. (Martin Pool)
1900
1901
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1902
(Martin Pool)
1903
1904
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1905
1906
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1907
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1908
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1909
1910
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1911
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1912
1913
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1914
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1915
paths. (Robert Collins)
1916
1917
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
1918
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
1919
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
1920
1921
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
1922
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1923
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1924
1925
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1926
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
1927
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1928
1929
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
1930
(Olaf Conradi)
1931
1932
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
1933
(Olaf Conradi)
1934
1935
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1936
1937
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1938
1939
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
1940
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1941
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1942
(Robert Collins)
1943
1944
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
1945
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1946
1947
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1948
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1949
check. (Robert Collins)
1950
1951
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
1952
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1953
1954
TESTING:
1955
1956
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1957
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1958
1959
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
1960
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
1961
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1962
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1963
1964
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1965
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1966
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1967
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1968
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1969
1970
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1971
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1972
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1973
1974
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1975
1976
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
1977
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1978
1979
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
1980
1981
CHANGES:
1982
1983
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1984
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1985
1986
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1987
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1988
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1989
(Johan Rydberg)
1990
1991
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
1992
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1993
1994
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
1995
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
1996
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
1997
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
1998
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1999
2000
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2001
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2002
used. (Robert Collins)
2003
2004
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2005
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2006
(James Henstridge)
2007
2008
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2009
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2010
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2011
2012
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2013
ignore list.
2014
2015
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2016
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2017
2018
IMPROVEMENTS:
2019
2020
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2021
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2022
2023
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2024
2025
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2026
2027
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2028
tree. (Robert Collins)
2029
2030
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2031
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2032
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2033
(Robert Collins)
2034
2035
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2036
that they be kept.
2037
2038
* Tweaks to short log printing
2039
2040
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2041
(Aaron Bentley)
2042
2043
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2044
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2045
2046
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2047
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2048
2049
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2050
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2051
2052
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2053
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2054
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2055
2056
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2057
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2058
2059
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2060
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2061
requests.
2062
2063
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2064
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2065
2066
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2067
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2068
2069
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2070
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2071
2072
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2073
(Denys Duchier)
2074
2075
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2076
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2077
2078
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2079
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2080
2081
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2082
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2083
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2084
2085
BUG FIXES:
2086
2087
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2088
2089
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2090
2091
* Error when run with -OO
2092
2093
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2094
(Martin Pool)
2095
2096
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2097
2098
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2099
2100
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2101
ignored by diff and status
2102
2103
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2104
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2105
2106
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2107
2108
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2109
2110
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2111
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2112
2113
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2114
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2115
2116
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2117
(Harald Meland)
2118
2119
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2120
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2121
2122
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2123
2124
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2125
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2126
2127
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2128
(Martin Pool)
2129
2130
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2131
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2132
2133
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2134
2135
TESTING:
2136
2137
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2138
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2139
2140
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2141
2142
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2143
2144
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2145
2146
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2147
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2148
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2149
2150
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2151
2152
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2153
(John Arbash Meinel)
2154
2155
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2156
2157
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2158
If adding a new test script please add that to
2159
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2160
2161
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2162
imported. (Martin Pool)
2163
2164
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2165
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2166
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2167
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2168
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2169
(Robert Collins)
2170
2171
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2172
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2173
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2174
2175
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2176
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2177
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2178
2179
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2180
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2181
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2182
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2183
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2184
(Robert Collins).
2185
2186
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2187
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2188
(Robert Collins).
2189
2190
INTERNALS:
2191
2192
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2193
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2194
2195
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2196
function. (Robert Collins)
2197
2198
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2199
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2200
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2201
2202
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2203
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2204
(Robert Collins)
2205
2206
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2207
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2208
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2209
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2210
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2211
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2212
version. (Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2215
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2216
2217
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2218
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2219
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2220
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2221
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2222
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2223
2224
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2225
(Robert Collins)
2226
2227
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2228
2229
add()
2230
commit()
2231
move()
2232
rename_one()
2233
unknowns()
2234
2235
(Robert Collins)
2236
2237
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2240
2241
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2242
Pool)
2243
2244
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2245
query method. (Robert Collins)
2246
2247
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2248
(Denys Duchier)
2249
2250
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2251
(Michael Ellerman)
2252
2253
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2254
(Michael Ellerman)
2255
2256
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2257
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2258
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2259
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2260
2261
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2262
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2263
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2264
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2267
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

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

* Faster working tree operations.

2785
CHANGES:
2786
2787
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2788
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2789
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2790
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2791
2792
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2793
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2794
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2795
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2796
standard plugins directory.
2797
2798
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2799
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2800
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2801
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2802
2803
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2804
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2805
2806
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2807
disk.
2808
2809
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2810
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2811
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2812
2813
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2814
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2815
2816
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2817
line options must come before the command name because they
2818
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2819
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2820
it.
2821
2822
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2823
2824
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2825
is available with ``--short``.
2826
2827
2828
BUG FIXES:
2829
2830
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2831

2833
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2834
2835
CHANGES:
2836
2837
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2838
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2839
2840
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2841
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2842
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2843
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2844
2845
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2846
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2847
with the ``--forward`` option.
2848
2849
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2850
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2851
field.
2852
2853
2854
ENHANCEMENTS:
2855
2856
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2857
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2858
2859
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2860
2861
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2862
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2863
2864
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2865
2866
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2867
either read or write mode.
2868
2869
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2870
2871
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2872
affected that file.
2873
2874
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2875
2876
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2877
suggested by LarstiQ.
2878
2879
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2880
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2881
2882
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2883
a filename.
2884
2885
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2886
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2887
2888
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2889
haven't changed since the previous time.
2890
2891
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2892
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2893
2894
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2895
2896
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2897
2898
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2899
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2900
2901
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2902
options through to an external GNU diff.
2903
2904
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2905
their contents.
2906
2907
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2908
from a branch.
2909
2910
2911
BUG FIXES:
2912
2913
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2914
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2915
2916
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2917
metacharacters.
2918
2919
2920
TESTING:
2921
2922
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2923
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2924
the tests.
2925
2926
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2927
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2928
2929
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2930
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2931
2932
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2933
under a different version.
2934
2935
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2936
2937
2938
INTERNAL:
2939
2940
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2941
2942
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2943
Scott James Remnant.
2944
2945
* Better help messages for many commands.
2946
2947
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
2948
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2949
2950
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
2951
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2952
2953
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
2954
2955
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
2956
2957
* New AtomicFile class.
2958
2959
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2960
2961
2962
PORTABILITY:
2963
2964
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2965
2.4 is now only recommended.
2966
2967
2968
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2969
2970
ENHANCEMENTS:
2971
2972
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2973
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2974
2975
* More default ignore patterns.
2976
2977
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2978
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2979
2980
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2981
2982
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2983
by Jason Diamon.
2984
2985
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2986
2987
2988
CHANGES:
2989
2990
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2991
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2992
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2993
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2994
there are DNS problems.
2995
2996
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2997
2998
2999
BUG FIXES:

* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3002
3003

3004
3005
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3006
trailing newlines properly.
3007
3008
3009
INTERNAL:
3010
3011
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3012
Matt Brubeck.
3013
3014
* More tests in test.sh.
3015
3016
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3017
directory and delete it when done.
3018
3019
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3020
3021
3022
PORTABILITY:
3023
3024
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3025
Bennetts.
3026
3027
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3028
from QuantumG.

3036
in the tree.
3037
3038
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3039
3040
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3041
and/or directory.
3042
3043
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3044
directory.
3045
3046
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3047
3048
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3049
3050
CHANGES:
3051
3052
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3053
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3054
will do for now.)
3055
3056
PORTABILITY:
3057
3058
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3059
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3060
Nielsen.
3061
3062
INTERNAL:
3063
3064
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3065
3066

3079
3080
ENHANCEMENTS:
3081
3082
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3083
3084
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3085
rather than replacing it.
3086
3087
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3088
3089
* More help topics.
3090
3091
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3092
branch.
3093
3094
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3095
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3096
3097
* Performance improvements.
3098
3099
* New global --profile option.
3100
3101
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3102
the root directory only.
3103
3104

3125
installation easier.
3126
3127

3128
supported).
3129
3130
