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

bzr 0.15 2007-04-01
413
414
BUGFIXES:
415
416
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
417
(Aaron Bentley)
418
419
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
420
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

423
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
424
425
CHANGES:
426
427
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
428
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
429
(Martin Pool)
430
431
IMPROVEMENTS:
432
433
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
434
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
435
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
436
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
437
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
438
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
439
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
440
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
441
path. (vila)
442
443
INTERNALS:
444
445
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
446
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
447
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
448
449
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
450
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
451
(Martin Pool)
452
453
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
454
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
455
(John Arbash Meinel)
456
457
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
458
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
459
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
460
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
461
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
462
463
BUGFIXES:
464
465
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
466
(vila, #92195)
467
468
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
469
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
470
471
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
472
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
473
474
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
475
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
476
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
477
478
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
479
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
480
481
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
482
last-changed-revision for directories. The
483
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
484
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
485
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
486
487
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
488
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
489
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
490
491
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

494
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
495
496
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
497
498
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
499
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
500
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
501
502
IMPROVEMENTS:
503
504
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
505
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
506
507
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
508
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
509
510
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
511
512
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
513
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
514
515
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
516
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
517
518
INTERNALS:
519
520
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
521
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
522
523
BUGFIXES:
524
525
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
526
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
527
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
528
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
529
530
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
531
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
532
533
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
534
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
535
536
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
537
(Marien Zwart)
538
539
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
540

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

716
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
717
718
BUGFIXES:
719
720
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
721
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
722
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
723
724
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
725
(Aaron Bentley)
726
727
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
728
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
729
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
730
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
731
732
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
733
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
734
#83954).
735
736
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
737
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
738
739
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
740
741
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
742
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
743
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
744
745
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
746
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
747
748
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
750
751
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
752
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
753
754
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
755
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
756
757
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
758

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
760
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
761
762
TESTING:
763
764
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
765
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

IMPROVEMENTS:
771
772
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
773
774
BUG FIXES:
775
776
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
777
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
778
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
779
780
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
781
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
782
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
783
784
785
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
786
787
IMPROVEMENTS:
788
789
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
790
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
791
server, then you can write over the http connection.
792
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
793
794
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
795
(Marius Kruger)
796
797
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
798
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
799
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
800
801
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
802
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
803
804
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
805
(Aaron Bentley)
806
807
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
808
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
809
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
810
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
811
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
812
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
813
814
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
815
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
816
should enable you to do::
817
818
[/home/user/project]
819
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
820
push_location:policy = appendpath
821
822
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
823
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
824
(James Henstridge)
825
826
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
827
for each file. For example::
828
829
$ bzr status --short
830
A foo
831
A bar
832
D baz
833
? wooley
834
835
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
836
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
837
838
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
839
840
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
841
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
842
843
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
844
845
INTERNALS:
846
847
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
848
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
849
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
850
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
851
852
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
853
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
854
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
855
856
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
857
858
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
859
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
860
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
861
(Alexander Belchenko)
862
863
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
864
Pool)
865
866
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
867
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
868
869
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
870
871
BUG FIXES:
872
873
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
874
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
875
876
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
877
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
878
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
879
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
880
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
881
882
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
883
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
884
885
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
886
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
887
888
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
889
matcher.
890
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
891
892
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
893
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
894
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
895
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
896
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
897
898
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
899
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
900
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
901
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
902
903
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
904
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
905
906
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
907
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
908
909
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
910
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

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

2268
(Robert Collins)
2269
2270
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2271
2272
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2273
2274
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2275
Pool)
2276
2277
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2278
query method. (Robert Collins)
2279
2280
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2281
(Denys Duchier)
2282
2283
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2284
(Michael Ellerman)
2285
2286
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2287
(Michael Ellerman)
2288
2289
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2290
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2291
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2292
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2293
2294
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2295
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2296
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2297
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2298
2299
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2300
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

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

2785
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2786
2787
NEW FEATURES:
2788
2789
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2790
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2791
2792
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2793
2794
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2795
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2796
2797
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2798
FOO.
2799
2800
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2801
2802
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2803
the Unix command.
2804
2805
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2806
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2807
2808
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2809
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2810
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2811
2812
2813
ENHANCEMENTS:
2814
2815
* Faster working tree operations.
2816
2817
2818
CHANGES:
2819
2820
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2821
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2822
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2823
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2824
2825
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2826
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2827
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2828
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2829
standard plugins directory.
2830
2831
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2832
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2833
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2834
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2835
2836
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2837
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2838
2839
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2840
disk.
2841
2842
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2843
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2844
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2845
2846
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2847
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2848
2849
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2850
line options must come before the command name because they
2851
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2852
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2853
it.
2854
2855
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2856
2857
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2858
is available with ``--short``.
2859
2860
2861
BUG FIXES:
2862
2863
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2864
2865
2866
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2867
2868
CHANGES:
2869
2870
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2871
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2872
2873
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2874
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2875
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2876
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2877
2878
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2879
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2880
with the ``--forward`` option.
2881
2882
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2883
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2884
field.
2885
2886
2887
ENHANCEMENTS:
2888
2889
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2890
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2891
2892
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2893
2894
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2895
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2896
2897
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2898
2899
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2900
either read or write mode.
2901
2902
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2903
2904
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2905
affected that file.
2906
2907
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2908
2909
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2910
suggested by LarstiQ.
2911
2912
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2913
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2914
2915
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2916
a filename.
2917
2918
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2919
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2920
2921
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2922
haven't changed since the previous time.
2923
2924
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2925
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2926
2927
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2928
2929
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2930
2931
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2932
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2933
2934
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2935
options through to an external GNU diff.
2936
2937
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2938
their contents.
2939
2940
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2941
from a branch.
2942
2943
2944
BUG FIXES:
2945
2946
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2947
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2948
2949
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2950
metacharacters.
2951
2952
2953
TESTING:
2954
2955
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2956
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2957
the tests.
2958
2959
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2960
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2961
2962
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2963
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2964
2965
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2966
under a different version.
2967
2968
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2969
2970
2971
INTERNAL:
2972
2973
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2974
2975
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2976
Scott James Remnant.
2977
2978
* Better help messages for many commands.
2979
2980
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
2981
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2982
2983
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
2984
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2985
2986
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
2987
2988
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
2989
2990
* New AtomicFile class.
2991
2992
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2993
2994
2995
PORTABILITY:
2996
2997
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2998
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3002
3003
ENHANCEMENTS:
3004
3005
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3006
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3007
3008
* More default ignore patterns.
3009
3010
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3011
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3012
3013
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3014
3015
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3016
by Jason Diamon.
3017
3018
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3019
3020
3021
CHANGES:
3022
3023
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3024
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3025
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3026
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3027
there are DNS problems.
3028
3029
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3030
3031
3032
BUG FIXES:
3033
3034
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3035
3036
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3037
3038
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3039
trailing newlines properly.
3040
3041
3042
INTERNAL:
3043
3044
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3045
Matt Brubeck.
3046
3047
* More tests in test.sh.
3048
3049
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3050
directory and delete it when done.
3051
3052
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3053
3054
3055
PORTABILITY:
3056
3057
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3058
Bennetts.
3059
3060
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3061
from QuantumG.
3062

3064
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3065
3066
ENHANCEMENTS:
3067
3068

3069
in the tree.
3070
3071
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3072
3073
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3074
and/or directory.
3075
3076
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3077
directory.
3078
3079
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3080
3081
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3082
3083
CHANGES:
3084
3085
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3086
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3087
will do for now.)
3088
3089
PORTABILITY:
3090
3091
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3092
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3093
Nielsen.
3094
3095
INTERNAL:
3096
3097
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3098
3099
TESTING:
3100
3101
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

3112
3113
ENHANCEMENTS:
3114
3115
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3116
3117
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3118
rather than replacing it.
3119
3120
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3121
3122
* More help topics.
3123
3124
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3125
branch.
3126
3127
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3128
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3129
3130
* Performance improvements.
3131
3132
* New global --profile option.
3133
3134
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3135
the root directory only.
3136
3137
3138
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26

3147
committing to stores.

3149
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3150
3151
BUG FIXES:

3158
installation easier.
3159
3160
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3161
supported).
3162
3163
