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
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
12
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
13
too. (Robert Collins)
14
15
IMPROVEMENTS:
16
17
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
18
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
19
Aaron Bentley)
20
21
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
22
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
23
24
BUGFIXES:
25
26
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
27
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
28
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
29
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
30
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
31
32
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
33
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
34
35
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
36
into account.
37
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
38
39
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
40
41
BUGFIXES:
42
43
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
44
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
45
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
46
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
47
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
48
49
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
50
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
51
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
52
53
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
54
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
55
56
IMPROVEMENTS:
57
58
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
59
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
60
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
61
62
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
63
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
64
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
65
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
66
67
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
68
69
BUGFIXES:
70
71
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
72
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
73
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
74
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
75
76
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
77
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
78
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
79
80
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
81
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
82
83
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
84
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
85
86
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
87
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
88
89
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
90
91
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
92
93
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
94
it could be recovered again.
95
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
96
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
97
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
98
but not delete it.
99
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
100
files.
101
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
102
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
103
104
IMPROVEMENTS:
105
106
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
107
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
108
109
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
110
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
111
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
112
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
113
114
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
115
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
116
117
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
118
tests with names that match that regular expression.
119
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
120
121
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
122
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
123
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
124
125
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
126
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
127
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
128
129
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
130
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
131
Robert Collins)
132
133
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
134
Pool)
135
136
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
137
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
138
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
139
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
140
141
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
142
(Robert Collins)
143
144
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
145
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
146
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
147
(Robert Collins)
148
149
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
150
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
151
152
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
153
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
154
155
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
156
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
157
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
158
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
159
(Robert Collins)
160
161
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
162
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
163
164
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
165
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
166
167
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
168
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
169
(Robert Collins, #107125).
170
171
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
172
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
173
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
174
175
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
176
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
177
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
178
179
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
180
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
181
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
182
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
183
184
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
185
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
186
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
187
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
188
189
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
190
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
191
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
192
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
193
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
194
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
195
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
196
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
197
header(s).
198
(Vincent Ladeuil).
199
200
INTERNALS:
201
202
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
203
code paths. (Robert Collins)
204
205
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
206
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
207
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
208
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
209
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
210
211
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
212
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
213
214
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
215
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
216
217
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
218
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
219
220
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
221
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
222
223
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
224
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
225
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
226
(Robert Collins).
227
228
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
229
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
230
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
231
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
232
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
233
(Robert Collins)
234
235
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
236
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
237
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
238
239
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
240
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
241
(Vincent Ladeuil).
242
243
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
244
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
245
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
246
(Vincent Ladeuil).
247
248
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
249
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
250
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
251
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
252
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
253
254
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
255
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
256
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
257
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
258
259
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
260
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
261
262
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
263
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
264
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
265
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
266
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
267
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
268
269
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
270
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
271
272
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
273
help. (Robert Collins)
274
275
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
276
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
277
278
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
279
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
280
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
281
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
282
(John Arbash Meinel)
283
284
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
285
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
286
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
287
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
288
useful. (Robert Collins)
289
290
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
291
(Andrew Bennetts)
292
293
BUGFIXES:
294
295
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
296
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
297
298
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
299
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
300
301
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
302
properly and is no longer beneficial.
303
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
304
305
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
306
(Aaron Bentley)
307
308
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
309
the file, and does it faster.
310
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
311
312
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
313
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
314
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
315
316
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
317
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
318
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
319
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
320
321
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
322
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
323
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
324
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
325
326
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
327
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
328
329
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
330
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
331
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
332
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
333
Arbash Meinel)
334
335
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
336
337
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
338
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
339
340
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
341
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
342
343
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
344
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
345
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
346
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
347
security hole.
348
(Vincent Ladeuil)
349
350
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
351
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
352
353
TESTING:
354
355
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
356
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
357
in running it. (Robert Collins)
358
359
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
360
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
361
362
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
363
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
364
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
365
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
366
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
367
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
368
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
369
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
370
371
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
372
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
373
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
374
375
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
376
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
377
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
378
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
379
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
380
access.
381
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
382
383
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
384
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
385
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
386
387
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
388
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
389
(Vincent Ladeuil)

bzr 0.15 2007-04-01
392
393
BUGFIXES:
394
395
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
396
(Aaron Bentley)
397
398
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
399
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
400
(Martin Pool)

402
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
403
404
CHANGES:
405
406
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
407
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
408
(Martin Pool)
409
410
IMPROVEMENTS:
411
412
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
413
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
414
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
415
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
416
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
417
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
418
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
419
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
420
path. (vila)
421
422
INTERNALS:
423
424
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
425
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
426
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
427
428
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
429
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
430
(Martin Pool)
431
432
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
433
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
434
(John Arbash Meinel)
435
436
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
437
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
438
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
439
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
440
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
441
442
BUGFIXES:
443
444
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
445
(vila, #92195)
446
447
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
448
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
449
450
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
451
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
452
453
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
454
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
455
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
456
457
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
458
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
459
460
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
461
last-changed-revision for directories. The
462
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
463
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
464
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
465
466
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
467
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
468
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
469
470
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

473
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
474
475
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
476
477
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
478
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
479
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
480
481
IMPROVEMENTS:
482
483
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
484
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
485
486
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
487
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
488
489
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
490
491
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
492
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
493
494
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
495
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
496
497
INTERNALS:
498
499
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
500
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
501
502
BUGFIXES:
503
504
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
505
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
506
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
507
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
508
509
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
510
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
511
512
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
513
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
514
515
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
516
(Marien Zwart)
517
518
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
519

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

695
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
696
697
BUGFIXES:
698
699
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
700
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
701
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
702
703
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
704
(Aaron Bentley)
705
706
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
707
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
708
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
709
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
710
711
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
712
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
713
#83954).
714
715
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
716
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
717
718
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
719
720
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
721
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
722
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
723
724
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
725
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
726
727
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
728
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
729
730
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
731
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
732
733
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
734
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
735
736
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
737
738
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
739
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
740
741
TESTING:
742
743
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

IMPROVEMENTS:
750
751
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
752
753
BUG FIXES:
754
755
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
756
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
757
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
758
759
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
760
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
761
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
762
763
764
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
765
766
IMPROVEMENTS:
767
768
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
769
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
770
server, then you can write over the http connection.
771
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
772
773
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
774
(Marius Kruger)
775
776
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
777
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
778
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
779
780
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
781
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
782
783
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
784
(Aaron Bentley)
785
786
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
787
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
788
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
789
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
790
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
791
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
792
793
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
794
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
795
should enable you to do::
796
797
[/home/user/project]
798
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
799
push_location:policy = appendpath
800
801
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
802
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
803
(James Henstridge)
804
805
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
806
for each file. For example::
807
808
$ bzr status --short
809
A foo
810
A bar
811
D baz
812
? wooley
813
814
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
815
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
816
817
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
818
819
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
820
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
821
822
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
823
824
INTERNALS:
825
826
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
827
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
828
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
829
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
830
831
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
832
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
833
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
834
835
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
836
837
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
838
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
839
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
840
(Alexander Belchenko)
841
842
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
843
Pool)
844
845
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
846
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
847
848
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
849
850
BUG FIXES:
851
852
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
853
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
854
855
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
856
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
857
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
858
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
859
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
860
861
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
862
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
863
864
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
865
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
866
867
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
868
matcher.
869
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
870
871
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
872
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
873
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
874
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
875
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
876
877
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
878
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
879
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
880
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
881
882
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
883
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
884
885
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
886
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
887
888
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
889
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

903
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
904
tree from a branch.
905
(Daniel Silverstone)
906
907
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
908
operations are substantially faster.
909
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
910
911
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
912
tree from some other url. For example:
913
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
914
(Daniel Silverstone)
915
916
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
917
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
918
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
919
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
920
921
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
922
(Andrew Bennetts)
923
924
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
925
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
926
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
927
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
928
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
929
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
930
931
INTERNALS:
932
933
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
934
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
935
(Martin Pool)
936
937
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
938
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
939
(John Arbash Meinel)
940
941
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
942
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
943
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
944
(John Arbash Meinel)
945
946
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
947
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
948
949
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
950
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
951
952
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
953
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
954
Bennetts)
955
956
BUG FIXES:
957
958
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
959
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
960
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
961
962
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
963
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
964
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
965
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
966
967
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
968
969
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
970
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
971
972
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
973
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
974
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
976
977
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
978
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
979
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
980
981
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
982
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
983
them as full references rather than integers.
984
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
985
986
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
987
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
988
989
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
990
991
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
992
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
993
994
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
995
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
996
997
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
998
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
999
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1000
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1001
1002
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1003
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1004
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1005
1006
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1007
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1008
1009
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1010
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1011
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1012
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1013
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1014
1015
TESTING:
1016
1017
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1018
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1019
1020
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1021
1022
INTERNALS:
1023
1024
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1025
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1026
(John Arbash Meinel)
1027
1028
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1029
1030
IMPROVEMENTS:
1031
1032
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1033
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1034
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1035
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1036
1037
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1038
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1039
1040
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1041
1042
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1043
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1044
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1045
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1046
1047
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1048
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1049
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1050
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1051
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1052
1053
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1054
1055
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1056
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1057
1058
INTERNALS:
1059
1060
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1061
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1062
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1063
1064
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1065
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1066
(John Arbash Meinel)
1067
1068
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1069
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1070
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1071
1072
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1073
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1074
(Aaron Bentley)
1075
1076
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1077
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1078
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1079
1080
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1081
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1082
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1083
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1084
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1085
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1086
1087
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1088
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1089
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1090
(Robert Collins)
1091
1092
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1093
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1094
1095
BUG FIXES:
1096
1097
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1098
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1099
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1100
#63360, #66349)
1101
1102
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1103
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1104
1105
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1106
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1107
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1108
1109
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1110
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1111
1112
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1113
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1114
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1115
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1116
1117
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1118
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1119
1120
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1121
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1122
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1123
1124
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1125
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1126
1127
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1128
1129
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1130
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1131
#32054)
1132
1133
TESTING:
1134
1135
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1136
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1137
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1138
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1139
1140
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1141
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1142
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1143
1144
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
1145
1146
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1147
1148
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1149
1150
BUG FIXES:
1151
1152
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1153
1154
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1155
Arbash Meinel).
1156
1157
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1158
1159
IMPROVEMENTS:
1160
1161
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1162
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1163
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1164
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1165
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1166
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1167
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1168
1169
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1170
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1171
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1172
1173
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1174
1175
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1176
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1177
1178
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1179
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1180
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1181
(Robert Collins)
1182
1183
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1184
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1185
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1186
(John Arbash Meinel)
1187
1188
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1189
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1190
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1191
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1192
Pool)
1193
1194
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1195
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1196
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1197
(John Arbash Meinel)
1198
1199
BUG FIXES:
1200
1201
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1202
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1203
1204
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1205
1206
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1207
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1208
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1209
1210
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1211
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1212
1213
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1214
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1215
1216
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1218
1219
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1220
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1221
1222
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1223
1224
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1225
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1226
1227
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1228
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1229
1230
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1231
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1232
1233
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1234
(John Arbash Meinel)
1235
1236
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1237
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1238
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1239
1240
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1241
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1242
1243
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1244
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1245
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1246
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1247
1248
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1249
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1250
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1251
1252
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1253
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1254
1255
PORTABILITY:
1256
1257
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1258
1259
INTERNALS:
1260
1261
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1262
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1263
(John Arbash Meinel)
1264
1265
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1266
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1267
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1268
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1269
1270
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1271
(Andrew Bennetts)
1272
1273
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1274
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1275
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1276
1277
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1278
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1279
1280
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1281
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1282
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1283
1284
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1285
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1286
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1287
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1288
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1289
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1290
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1291
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1292
caller to repeat their request.
1293
(John Arbash Meinel)
1294
1295
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1296
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1297
1298
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1299
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1300
1301
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1302
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1303
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1304
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1305
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1306
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1307
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1308
1309
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1310
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1311
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1312
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1313
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1314
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1315
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1316
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1317
(Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1320
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1321
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1322
1323
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1324
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1325
1326
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1327
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1328
1329
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1330
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1331
1332
TESTING:
1333
1334
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1335
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1336
1337
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1338
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1339
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1340
1341
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1342
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1343
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1344
1345
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1346
1347
IMPROVEMENTS:
1348
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1349
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1350
1351
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1352
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1353
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1354
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1355
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1356
1357
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1358
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1359
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1360
1361
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1362
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1363
1364
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1365
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1366
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1367
1368
BUG FIXES:
1369
1370
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1371
1372
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1373
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1374
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1375
1376
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1377
1378
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1379
1380
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1381
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1382
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1383
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1384
1385
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1386
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1387
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1388
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1389
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1390
1391
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1392
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1393
1394
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1395
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1396
1397
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1398
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1399
1400
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1401
in handling of revision properties.
1402
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1403
1404
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1405
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1406
1407
INTERNALS:
1408
1409
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1410
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1411
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1412
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1413
(John Arbash Meinel)
1414
1415
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1416
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1417
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1418
1419
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1420
1421
SURPRISES:
1422
1423
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1424
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1425
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1426
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1427
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1428
a more conservative list than the old default.
1429
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1430
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1431
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1432
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1433
1434
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1435
to more locations than just branch locations.
1436
(Aaron Bentley)
1437
1438
IMPROVEMENTS:
1439
1440
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1441
revno:N:branch. For example,
1442
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1443
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1444
1445
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1446
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1447
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1448
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1449
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1450
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1451
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1452
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1453
#42517, #42514)
1454
1455
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1456
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1457
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1458
(Malone #3507)
1459
1460
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1461
(Alexander Belchenko)
1462
1463
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1464
1465
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1466
(Robert Collins).
1467
1468
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1469
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1470
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1471
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1472
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1473
(John Arbash Meinel)
1474
1475
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1476
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1477
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1478
grained analysis of performance.
1479
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1480
1481
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1482
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1483
1484
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1485
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1486
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1487
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1488
file. (Robert Collins).
1489
1490
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1491
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1492
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1493
1494
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1495
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1496
Matthieu Moy)
1497
1498
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1499
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1500
1501
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1502
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1503
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1504
the same way you would apply another branch.
1505
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1506
1507
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1508
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1509
1510
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1511
(Michael Ellerman)
1512
1513
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1514
(Aaron Bentley)
1515
1516
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1517
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1518
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1519
1520
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1521
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1522
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1523
1524
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1525
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1526
1527
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1528
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1529
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1530
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1531
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1532
1533
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1534
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1535
1536
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1537
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1538
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1539
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1540
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1541
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1542
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1543
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1544
1545
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1546
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1547
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1548
1549
BUG FIXES:
1550
1551
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1552
tests not to run.
1553
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1554
1555
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1556
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1559
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1560
1561
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1562
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1563
1564
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1565
1566
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1567
(John Arbash Meinel)
1568
1569
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1570
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1571
1572
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1573
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1574
and y.
1575
1576
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1577
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1578
1579
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1580
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1581
1582
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1583
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1584
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1585
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1586
1587
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1588
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1589
1590
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1591
1592
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1593
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1594
1595
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1596
1597
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1598
1599
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1600
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1601
1602
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1603
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1604
1605
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1606
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1607
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1608
1609
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1610
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1611
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1612
1613
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1614
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1615
1616
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1617
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1618
1619
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1620
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1621
1622
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1623
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1624
1625
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1626
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1627
1628
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1629
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1630
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1631
1632
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1633
1634
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1635
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1636
1637
INTERNALS:
1638
1639
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1640
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1641
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1642
1643
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1644
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1645
1646
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1647
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1648
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1649
1650
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1651
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1652
1653
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1654
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1655
(Martin Pool)
1656
1657
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1658
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1659
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1660
1661
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1662
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1663
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1664
1665
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1666
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1667
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1668
1669
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1670
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1671
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1672
1673
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1674
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1675
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1676
1677
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1678
instead. (Robert Collins)
1679
1680
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1681
1682
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1683
1684
BUG FIXES:
1685
1686
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1687
1688
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1689
1690
BUG FIXES:
1691
1692
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1693
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1694
1695
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1696
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1697
1698
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1699
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1700
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1701
1702
CHANGES:
1703
1704
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1705
1706
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1707
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1708
1709
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1710
1711
CHANGES:
1712
1713
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1714
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1715
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1716
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1717
1718
NEW FEATURES:
1719
1720
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1721
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1722
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1723
1724
INTERNALS:
1725
1726
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1727
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1728
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1729
1730
TESTING:
1731
1732
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1733
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1734
1735
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1736
1737
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1738
1739
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1740
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1741
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1742
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1743
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1744
will keep the same format.
1745
1746
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1747
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1748
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1749
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1750
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1751
1752
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1753
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1754
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1755
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1756
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1757
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1758
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1759
1760
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1761
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1762
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1763
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1764
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1765
1766
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1767
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1768
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1769
arrangement.
1770
1771
1772
IMPROVEMENTS:
1773
1774
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1775
convention. Paths now take the form::
1776
1777
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1778
or
1779
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1780
1781
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1782
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1783
1784
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1785
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1786
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1787
1788
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1789
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1790
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1791
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1792
1793
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1794
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1795
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1796
1797
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1798
1799
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1800
1801
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1802
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1803
commits::
1804
1805
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1806
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1807
| xargs bzr re-sign
1808
1809
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1810
1811
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1812
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1813
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1814
(Robert Collins)
1815
1816
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1817
1818
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1819
1820
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1821
'.moved'.
1822
1823
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1824
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1825
1826
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1827
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1828
Daniel Silverstone)
1829
1830
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1831
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1832
Martin Pool)
1833
1834
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1835
1836
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1837
1838
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1839
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1840
1841
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1842
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1843
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1844
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1845
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1846
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1847
1848
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1849
1850
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1851
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1852
(Robert Collins)
1853
1854
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1855
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1856
1857
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1858
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1859
1860
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1861
1862
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1863
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1864
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1865
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1866
specification by Martin Pool.
1867
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1868
1869
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1870
Belchenko)
1871
1872
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1873
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1874
1875
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1876
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1877
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1878
1879
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1880
1881
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1882
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1883
(Robert Collins)
1884
1885
CHANGES:
1886
1887
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1888
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1889
1890
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1891
1892
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1893
1894
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1895
(Olaf Conradi)
1896
1897
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1898
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1899
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1900
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1901
1902
INTERNALS:
1903
1904
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1905
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1906
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1907
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1908
1909
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1910
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1911
tried. (Martin Pool)
1912
1913
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1914
(Martin Pool)
1915
1916
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1917
1918
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1919
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1920
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1921
1922
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1923
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1924
1925
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1926
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1927
paths. (Robert Collins)
1928
1929
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
1930
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
1931
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
1932
1933
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
1934
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1935
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1936
1937
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1938
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
1939
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1940
1941
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
1942
(Olaf Conradi)
1943
1944
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
1945
(Olaf Conradi)
1946
1947
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1948
1949
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1950
1951
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
1952
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1953
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1954
(Robert Collins)
1955
1956
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
1957
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1958
1959
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1960
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1961
check. (Robert Collins)
1962
1963
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
1964
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1965
1966
TESTING:
1967
1968
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1969
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1970
1971
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
1972
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
1973
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1974
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1975
1976
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1977
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1978
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1979
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1980
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1981
1982
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1983
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1984
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1985
1986
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1987
1988
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
1989
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1990
1991
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
1992
1993
CHANGES:
1994
1995
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1996
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1997
1998
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1999
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2000
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2001
(Johan Rydberg)
2002
2003
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2004
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2005
2006
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2007
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2008
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2009
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2010
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2011
2012
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2013
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2014
used. (Robert Collins)
2015
2016
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2017
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2018
(James Henstridge)
2019
2020
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2021
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2022
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2023
2024
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2025
ignore list.
2026
2027
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2028
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2029
2030
IMPROVEMENTS:
2031
2032
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2033
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2034
2035
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2036
2037
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2038
2039
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2040
tree. (Robert Collins)
2041
2042
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2043
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2044
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2045
(Robert Collins)
2046
2047
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2048
that they be kept.
2049
2050
* Tweaks to short log printing
2051
2052
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2053
(Aaron Bentley)
2054
2055
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2056
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2057
2058
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2059
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2060
2061
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2062
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2063
2064
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2065
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2066
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2067
2068
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2069
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2070
2071
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2072
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2073
requests.
2074
2075
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2076
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2077
2078
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2079
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2080
2081
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2082
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2083
2084
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2085
(Denys Duchier)
2086
2087
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2088
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2089
2090
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2091
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2092
2093
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2094
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2095
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2096
2097
BUG FIXES:
2098
2099
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2100
2101
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2102
2103
* Error when run with -OO
2104
2105
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2106
(Martin Pool)
2107
2108
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2109
2110
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2111
2112
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2113
ignored by diff and status
2114
2115
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2116
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2117
2118
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2119
2120
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2121
2122
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2123
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2124
2125
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2126
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2127
2128
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2129
(Harald Meland)
2130
2131
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2132
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2133
2134
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2135
2136
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2137
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2138
2139
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2140
(Martin Pool)
2141
2142
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2143
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2144
2145
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2146
2147
TESTING:
2148
2149
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2150
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2151
2152
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2153
2154
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2155
2156
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2157
2158
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2159
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2160
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2161
2162
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2163
2164
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2165
(John Arbash Meinel)
2166
2167
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2168
2169
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2170
If adding a new test script please add that to
2171
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2172
2173
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2174
imported. (Martin Pool)
2175
2176
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2177
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2178
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2179
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2180
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2181
(Robert Collins)
2182
2183
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2184
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2185
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2186
2187
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2188
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2189
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2190
2191
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2192
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2193
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2194
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2195
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2196
(Robert Collins).
2197
2198
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2199
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2200
(Robert Collins).
2201
2202
INTERNALS:
2203
2204
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2205
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2206
2207
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2208
function. (Robert Collins)
2209
2210
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2211
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2212
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2215
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2216
(Robert Collins)
2217
2218
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2219
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2220
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2221
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2222
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2223
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2224
version. (Robert Collins)
2225
2226
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2227
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2228
2229
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2230
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2231
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2232
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2233
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2234
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2235
2236
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2237
(Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2240
2241
add()
2242
commit()
2243
move()
2244
rename_one()
2245
unknowns()
2246
2247
(Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2250
2251
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2252
2253
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2254
Pool)
2255
2256
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2257
query method. (Robert Collins)
2258
2259
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2260
(Denys Duchier)
2261
2262
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2263
(Michael Ellerman)
2264
2265
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2266
(Michael Ellerman)
2267
2268
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2269
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2270
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2271
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2272
2273
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2274
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2275
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2276
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2277
2278
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2279
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2284
2285
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2286
(John A Meinel)
2287
2288
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2289
conflicts.
2290
(Aaron Bentley)
2291
2292
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2293
a separator, not ':'.
2294
(Aaron Bentley)
2295
2296
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2297
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2298
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2299
2300
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2301
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2302
(Robert Collins)
2303
2304
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2305
has been added that suppresses all output.
2306
2307
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2308
Adams.
2309
2310
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2311
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2312
2313
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2314
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2315
2316
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2317
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2320
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2321
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2322
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2323
2324
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2325
2326
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2327
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2330
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2331
2332
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2333
output directory, if one was supplied.
2334
2335
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2336
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2337
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2338
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2339
2340
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2341
2342
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2343
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2344
2345
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2346
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2347
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2348
2349
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2350
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2351
2352
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2353
(Aaron Bentley)
2354
2355
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2356
2357
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2358
2359
TESTING:
2360
2361
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2362
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2363
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2364
2365
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2366
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2367
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2368
2369
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2370
is given. (Martin Pool)
2371
2372
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2373
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2374
file. (Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2377
(Martin Pool)
2378
2379
INTERNALS:
2380
2381
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2382
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2383
representation. (Martin Pool).
2384
2385
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2386
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2387
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2388
2389
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2390
(Robert Collins)
2391
2392
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2393
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2394
Magnus Therning.
2395
2396
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2397
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2398
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2399
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2400
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2401
2402
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2403
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2404
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2405
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2406
python path. (Robert Collins)
2407
2408
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2409
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2410
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2411
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2412
2413
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2414
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2415
2416
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2417
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2418
(Robert Collins)
2419
2420
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2421
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2422
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2423
2424
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2425
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2426
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2427
2428
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2429
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2430
2431
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2432
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2433
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2434
(Robert Collins)
2435
2436
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2437
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2438
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2439
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2440
(Robert Collins)
2441
2442
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2443
(Robert Collins)
2444
2445
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2446
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2447
(Robert Collins)
2448
2449
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2450
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2451
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2452
2453
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2454
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2455
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2456
2457
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2458
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2459
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2460
2461
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2462
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2463
2464
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2465
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2466
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2467
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2468
caller. (Robert Collins)
2469
2470
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2471
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2472
(Robert Collins).
2473
2474
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2475
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2476
(Aaron Bentley)
2477
2478
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2479
2480
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2481
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2482
2483
BUG FIXES:
2484
2485
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2486
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2487
2488
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2489
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2490
2491
2492
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2493
2494
BUG FIXES:
2495
2496
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2497
allow directories to be listed.
2498
2499
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2500
upgrading branch format.
2501
2502
PERFORMANCE:
2503
2504
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2505
2506
2507
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2508
2509
NOTES:
2510
2511
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2512
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2513
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2514
high-latency connections.
2515
2516
BUG FIXES:
2517
2518
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2519
Rob Weir.
2520
2521
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2522
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2523
2524
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2525
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2526
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2527
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2528
2529
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2530
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2531
2532
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2533
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2534
2535
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2536
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2537
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2538
2539
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2540
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2541
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2542
Robert Collins
2543
2544
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2545
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2546
2547
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2548
different partial views of history.
2549
2550
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2551
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2552
2553
IMPROVEMENTS:
2554
2555
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2556
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2557
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2558
2559
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2560
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2561
'bzr upgrade'.
2562
2563
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2564
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2565
2566
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2567
Niemeyer.
2568
2569
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2570
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2571
2572
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2573
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2574
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2575
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2576
2577
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2578
2579
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2580
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2581
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2582
2583
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2584
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2585
2586
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2587
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2588
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2589
2590
2591
INTERNALS:
2592
2593
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2594
for your viewing pleasure.
2595
2596
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2597
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2598
2599
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2600
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2601
handling of such circumstances.
2602
2603
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2604
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2605
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2606
2607
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2608
2609
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2610
we call them revisions not patches.
2611
2612
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2613
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2614
2615
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2616
giving the revision *of that file*.
2617
2618
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2619
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2620
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2621
2622
TESTING:
2623
2624
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2625
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2626
2627
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2628
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2629
2630
2631
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2632
2633
BUG FIXES:
2634
2635
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2636
2637
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2638
(Robert Collins).
2639
2640
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2641
2642
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2643
2644
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2645
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2646
2647
IMPROVEMENTS:
2648
2649
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2650
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2651
2652
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2653
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2654
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2655
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2656
Robey Pointer
2657
2658
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2659
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2660
2661
INTERNALS:
2662
2663
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2664
2665
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2666
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2667
2668
2669
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2670
2671
IMPROVEMENTS:
2672
2673
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2674
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2675
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2676
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2677
Michael Ellerman.
2678
2679
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2680
(Nir Soffer)
2681
2682
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2683
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2684
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2685
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2686
for the operating system is still tried.
2687
2688
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2689
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2690
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2691
2692
2693
INTERNALS:
2694
2695
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2696
2697
BUG FIXES:
2698
2699
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2700
2701
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2702
branch.
2703
2704
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2705
read.
2706
2707
2708
PORTABILITY:
2709
2710
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2711
2712
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2713
2714
2715
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2716
2717
NEW FEATURES:
2718
2719
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2720
help with intelligent shell completion.
2721
2722
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2723
2724
2725
ENHANCEMENTS:
2726
2727
* Much better merge support.
2728
2729
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2730
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2731
like emacs smerge.
2732
2733
2734
BUG FIXES:
2735
2736
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2737
mention revisions that are not present.
2738
2739
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2740
2741
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2742
2743
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2744
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2745
2746
2747
CHANGES:
2748
2749
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2750
2751
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2752
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2753
--help themselves.
2754
2755
2756
LIBRARY:
2757
2758
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2759
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2760
libraries.
2761
2762
2763
2764
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2765
2766
NEW FEATURES:
2767
2768
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2769
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2770
2771
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2772
2773
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2774
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2775
2776
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2777
FOO.
2778
2779
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2780
2781
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2782
the Unix command.
2783
2784
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2785
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2786
2787
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2788
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2789
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2790
2791
2792
ENHANCEMENTS:
2793
2794
* Faster working tree operations.
2795

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

3046
3047
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3048
in the tree.
3049
3050
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3051
3052
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3053
and/or directory.
3054
3055
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3056
directory.
3057
3058
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3059
3060
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3061
3062
CHANGES:
3063
3064
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3065
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3066
will do for now.)
3067
3068
PORTABILITY:
3069
3070
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3071
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3072
Nielsen.
3073
3074
INTERNAL:
3075
3076
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

3091
3092
ENHANCEMENTS:
3093
3094
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3095
3096
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3097
rather than replacing it.
3098
3099
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3100
3101
* More help topics.
3102
3103
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3104
branch.
3105
3106
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3107
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3108
3109
* Performance improvements.
3110
3111
* New global --profile option.
3112
3113
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3114
the root directory only.
3115
3116
3117

3128
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3129
3130

3137
installation easier.
3138
3139

3140
supported).
3141
