IN DEVELOPMENT
2
3
IMPROVEMENTS:
4
5
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
6
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
10
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
11
12
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
13
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
14
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
15
16
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
17
(Elliot Murphy)
18
19
TESTING:
20
21
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
22
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
23
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
24
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
25
26
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
27
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
28
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
29
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
30
31
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
32
33
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
34
35
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
36
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
37
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
38
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
39
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
40
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
41
and unlock() like so::
42
43
work_tree.lock_read()
44
try:
45
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
46
finally:
47
work_tree.unlock()
48
49
INTERNALS:
50
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
51
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
52
object.
53
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
54
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
55
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
56
57
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
58
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
59
too. (Robert Collins)
60
61
IMPROVEMENTS:
62
63
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
64
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
65
Aaron Bentley)
66
67
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
68
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
69
70
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
71
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
72
73
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
74
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
75
understanding what changes have occurred
76
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
77
78
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
79
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
80
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
81
82
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
83
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
84
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
85
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
86
87
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
88
#56322)
89
90
BUGFIXES:
91
92
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
93
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
94
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
95
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
96
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
97
98
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
99
based on split paths, not just string paths.
100
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
101
102
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
104
105
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
106
into account.
107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
108
109
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
110
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
111
112
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
113
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
114
115
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
116
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
117
118
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
119
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
120
121
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
122
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
123
124
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
125
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
126
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
127
128
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
129
130
BUGFIXES:
131
132
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
133
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
134
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
135
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
136
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
137
138
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
139
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
140
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
141
142
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
143
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
144
145
IMPROVEMENTS:
146
147
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
148
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
149
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
150
151
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
152
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
153
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
154
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
155
156
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
157
158
BUGFIXES:
159
160
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
161
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
162
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
163
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
164
165
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
166
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
167
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
168
169
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
170
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
171
172
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
173
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
174
175
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
176
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
177
178
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
179
180
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
181
182
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
183
it could be recovered again.
184
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
185
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
186
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
187
but not delete it.
188
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
189
files.
190
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
191
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
192
193
IMPROVEMENTS:
194
195
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
196
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
197
198
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
199
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
200
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
201
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
202
203
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
204
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
205
206
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
207
tests with names that match that regular expression.
208
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
209
210
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
211
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
212
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
213
214
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
215
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
216
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
217
218
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
219
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
220
Robert Collins)
221
222
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
223
Pool)
224
225
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
226
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
227
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
228
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
229
230
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
231
(Robert Collins)
232
233
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
234
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
235
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
236
(Robert Collins)
237
238
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
239
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
240
241
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
242
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
243
244
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
245
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
246
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
247
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
248
(Robert Collins)
249
250
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
251
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
252
253
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
254
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
255
256
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
257
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
258
(Robert Collins, #107125).
259
260
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
261
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
262
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
263
264
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
265
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
266
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
267
268
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
269
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
270
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
271
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
272
273
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
274
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
275
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
276
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
277
278
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
279
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
280
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
281
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
282
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
283
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
284
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
285
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
286
header(s).
287
(Vincent Ladeuil).
288
289
INTERNALS:
290
291
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
292
code paths. (Robert Collins)
293
294
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
295
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
296
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
297
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
298
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
299
300
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
301
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
302
303
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
304
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
305
306
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
307
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
308
309
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
310
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
311
312
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
313
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
314
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
315
(Robert Collins).
316
317
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
318
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
319
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
320
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
321
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
322
(Robert Collins)
323
324
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
325
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
326
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
327
328
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
329
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
330
(Vincent Ladeuil).
331
332
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
333
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
334
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
335
(Vincent Ladeuil).
336
337
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
338
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
339
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
340
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
341
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
342
343
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
344
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
345
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
346
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
347
348
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
349
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
350
351
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
352
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
353
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
354
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
355
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
356
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
357
358
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
359
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
360
361
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
362
help. (Robert Collins)
363
364
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
365
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
366
367
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
368
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
369
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
370
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
371
(John Arbash Meinel)
372
373
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
374
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
375
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
376
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
377
useful. (Robert Collins)
378
379
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
380
(Andrew Bennetts)
381
382
BUGFIXES:
383
384
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
385
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
386
387
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
388
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
389
390
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
391
properly and is no longer beneficial.
392
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
393
394
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
395
(Aaron Bentley)
396
397
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
398
the file, and does it faster.
399
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
400
401
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
402
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
403
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
404
405
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
406
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
407
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
408
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
409
410
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
411
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
412
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
413
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
414
415
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
416
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
417
418
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
419
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
420
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
421
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
422
Arbash Meinel)
423
424
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
425
426
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
427
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
428
429
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
430
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
431
432
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
433
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
434
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
435
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
436
security hole.
437
(Vincent Ladeuil)
438
439
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
440
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
441
442
TESTING:
443
444
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
445
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
446
in running it. (Robert Collins)
447
448
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
449
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
450
451
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
452
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
453
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
454
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
455
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
456
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
457
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
458
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
459
460
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
461
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
462
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
463
464
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
465
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
466
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
467
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
468
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
469
access.
470
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
471
472
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
473
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
474
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
475
476
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
477
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

485
(Aaron Bentley)
486

488
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

493
CHANGES:
494
495
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
496
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
497
(Martin Pool)
498
499
IMPROVEMENTS:
500
501
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
502
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
503
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
504
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
505
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
506
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
507
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
508
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
509
path. (vila)
510
511
INTERNALS:
512
513
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
514
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
515
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
516
517
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
518
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
519
(Martin Pool)
520
521
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
522
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
523
(John Arbash Meinel)
524
525
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
526
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
527
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
528
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
529
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
530
531
BUGFIXES:
532
533
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
534
(vila, #92195)
535
536
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
537
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
538
539
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
540
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
541
542
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
543
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
544
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
545
546
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
547
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
548
549
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
550
last-changed-revision for directories. The
551
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
552
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
553
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
554
555
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
556
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
557
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
558
559
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

562
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
563
564
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
565
566
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
567
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
568
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
569
570
IMPROVEMENTS:
571
572
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
573
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
574
575
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
576
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
577
578
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
579
580
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
581
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
582
583
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
584
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
585
586
INTERNALS:
587
588
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
589
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
590
591
BUGFIXES:
592
593
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
594
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
595
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
596
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
597
598
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
599
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
600
601
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
602
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
603
604
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
605
(Marien Zwart)
606
607
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
608
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
609
610
611
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
612
613
SURPRISES:
614
615
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
616
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
617
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
618
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
619
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
620
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
621
622
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
623
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
624
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
625
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
626
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
627
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
628
development.
629
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
630
631
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
632
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
633
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
634
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
635
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
636
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
637
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
638
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
639
640
IMPROVEMENTS:
641
642
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
643
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
644
645
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
646
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
647
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
648
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
649
does exist.
650
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
651
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
652
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
653
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
654
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
655
656
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
657
(Aaron Bentley)
658
659
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
660
(Aaron Bentley)
661
662
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
663
(Robert Collins)
664
665
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
666
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
667
(Aaron Bentley)
668
669
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
670
(Aaron Bentley)
671
672
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
673
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
674
675
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
676
directory. (Martin Pool)
677
678
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
679
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
680
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
681
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
682
683
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
684
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
685
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
686
in docs/configuration.txt.
687
688
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
689
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
690
bind location.
691
692
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
693
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
694
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
695
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
696
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
697
repositories. (Martin Pool)
698
699
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
700
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
701
702
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
703
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
704
705
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
706
(Aaron Bentley)
707
708
INTERNALS:
709
710
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
711
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
712
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
713
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
714
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
715
(John Arbash Meinel)
716
717
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
718
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
719
(Aaron Bentley)
720
721
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
722
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
723
(John Arbash Meinel)
724
725
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
726
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
727
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
728
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
729
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
730
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
731
732
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
733
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
734
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
735
736
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
737
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
738
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
739
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
740
repository.
741
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
742
743
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
744
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
745
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
746
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
747
748
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
749
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
750
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
751
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
752
753
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
754
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
755
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
756
757
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
758
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
759
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
760
761
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
762
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
763
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
764
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
765
766
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
767
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
768
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
769
770
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
771
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
772
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
773
774
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
775
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
776
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
777
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
778
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
779
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
780
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
781
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
782
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
783
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
784
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
785
786
BUGFIXES:
787
788
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
789
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
790
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
791
792
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
793
(Aaron Bentley)
794
795
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
796
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
797
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
798
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
799
800
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
801
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
802
#83954).
803
804
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
805
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
806
807
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
808
809
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
810
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
811
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
812
813
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
814
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
815
816
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
817
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
818
819
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
820
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
821
822
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
823
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
824
825
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)

828
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
829

BUG FIXES:
843
844
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
845
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
846
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
847
848
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
849
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
850
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

853
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
854
855
IMPROVEMENTS:
856
857
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
858
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
859
server, then you can write over the http connection.
860
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
861
862
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
863
(Marius Kruger)
864
865
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
866
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
867
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
868
869
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
870
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
871
872
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
873
(Aaron Bentley)
874
875
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
876
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
877
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
878
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
879
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
880
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
881
882
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
883
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
884
should enable you to do::
885
886
[/home/user/project]
887
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
888
push_location:policy = appendpath
889
890
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
891
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
892
(James Henstridge)
893
894
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
895
for each file. For example::
896
897
$ bzr status --short
898
A foo
899
A bar
900
D baz
901
? wooley
902
903
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
904
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
905
906
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
907
908
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
909
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
910
911
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)

* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
916
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
917
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
918
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
919
920
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
921
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
922
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
923
924
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
925
926
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
927
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
928
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
929
(Alexander Belchenko)
930
931
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
932
Pool)
933
934
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
935
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
936
937
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
938
939
BUG FIXES:
940
941
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
942
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
943
944
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
945
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
946
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
947
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
948
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
949
950
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
951
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
952
953
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
954
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
955
956
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
957
matcher.
958
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
959
960
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
961
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
962
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
963
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
964
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
965
966
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
967
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
968
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
969
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
970
971
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
972
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
973
974
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
975
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
976
977
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
978
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
979
980
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

990
IMPROVEMENTS:
991
992
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
993
tree from a branch.
994
(Daniel Silverstone)
995
996
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
997
operations are substantially faster.
998
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
999
1000
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1001
tree from some other url. For example:
1002
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1003
(Daniel Silverstone)
1004
1005
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1006
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1007
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1008
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1009
1010
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1011
(Andrew Bennetts)
1012
1013
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1014
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1015
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1016
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1017
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1018
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1019
1020
INTERNALS:
1021
1022
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1023
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1024
(Martin Pool)
1025
1026
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1027
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1028
(John Arbash Meinel)
1029
1030
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1031
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1032
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1033
(John Arbash Meinel)
1034
1035
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1036
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1037
1038
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1039
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1040
1041
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1042
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1043
Bennetts)
1044
1045
BUG FIXES:
1046
1047
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1048
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1049
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1050
1051
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1052
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1053
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1054
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1055
1056
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1057
1058
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1059
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1060
1061
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1062
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1063
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1065
1066
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1067
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1068
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1069
1070
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1071
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1072
them as full references rather than integers.
1073
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1074
1075
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1076
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1077
1078
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1079
1080
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1081
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1082
1083
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1084
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1085
1086
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1087
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1088
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1089
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1090
1091
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1092
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1093
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1094
1095
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1096
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1097
1098
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1099
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1100
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1101
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1102
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1103
1104
TESTING:
1105
1106
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1107
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1108
1109
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1110
1111
INTERNALS:
1112
1113
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1114
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1115
(John Arbash Meinel)
1116
1117
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1118
1119
IMPROVEMENTS:
1120
1121
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1122
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1123
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1124
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1125
1126
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1127
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1128
1129
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1130
1131
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1132
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1133
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1134
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1135
1136
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1137
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1138
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1139
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1140
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1141
1142
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1143
1144
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1145
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1146
1147
INTERNALS:
1148
1149
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1150
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1151
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1152
1153
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1154
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1155
(John Arbash Meinel)
1156
1157
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1158
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1159
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1160
1161
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1162
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1163
(Aaron Bentley)
1164
1165
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1166
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1167
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1168
1169
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1170
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1171
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1172
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1173
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1174
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1175
1176
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1177
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1178
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1179
(Robert Collins)
1180
1181
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1182
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1183
1184
BUG FIXES:
1185
1186
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1187
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1188
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1189
#63360, #66349)
1190
1191
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1192
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1193
1194
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1195
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1196
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1197
1198
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1199
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1200
1201
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1202
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1203
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1204
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1205
1206
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1207
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1208
1209
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1210
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1211
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1212
1213
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1214
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1215
1216
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1217
1218
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1219
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1220
#32054)
1221
1222
TESTING:
1223
1224
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1225
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1226
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1227
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1228
1229
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1230
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1231
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1232
1233
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

1237
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1238
1239
BUG FIXES:
1240
1241
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1242
1243
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1244
Arbash Meinel).
1245
1246
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1247
1248
IMPROVEMENTS:
1249
1250
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1251
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1252
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1253
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1254
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1255
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1256
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1257
1258
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1259
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1260
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1261
1262
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1263
1264
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1265
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1266
1267
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1268
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1269
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1270
(Robert Collins)
1271
1272
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1273
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1274
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1275
(John Arbash Meinel)
1276
1277
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1278
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1279
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1280
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1281
Pool)
1282
1283
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1284
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1285
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1286
(John Arbash Meinel)
1287
1288
BUG FIXES:
1289
1290
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1291
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1292
1293
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1294
1295
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1296
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1297
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1298
1299
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1300
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1301
1302
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1303
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1304
1305
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1307
1308
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1309
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1310
1311
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1312
1313
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1314
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1315
1316
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1317
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1318
1319
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1320
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1321
1322
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1323
(John Arbash Meinel)
1324
1325
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1326
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1327
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1328
1329
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1330
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1331
1332
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1333
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1334
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1335
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1336
1337
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1338
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1339
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1340
1341
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1342
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1343
1344
PORTABILITY:
1345
1346
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1347
1348
INTERNALS:
1349
1350
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1351
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1352
(John Arbash Meinel)
1353
1354
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1355
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1356
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1357
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1358
1359
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1360

1361
1362
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1363
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1364
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1365
1366
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1367
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1368
1369
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1370
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1371
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1372
1373
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1374
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1375
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1376
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1377
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1378
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1379
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1380
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1381
caller to repeat their request.
1382
(John Arbash Meinel)
1383
1384
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1385
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1386
1387
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1388
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1389
1390
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1391
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1392
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1393
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1394
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1395
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1396
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1397
1398
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1399
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1400
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1401
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1402
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1403
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1404
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1405
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1406
(Robert Collins)
1407
1408
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1409
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1410
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1411
1412
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1413
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1414
1415
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1416
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1417
1418
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1419
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1420
1421
TESTING:
1422
1423
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1424
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1425
1426
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1427
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1428
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1429
1430
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1431
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1432
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1433
1434
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1435
1436
IMPROVEMENTS:
1437
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1438
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1439
1440
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1441
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1442
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1443
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1444
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1445
1446
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1447
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1448
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1449
1450
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1451
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1452
1453
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1454
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1455
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1456
1457
BUG FIXES:
1458
1459
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1460
1461
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1462
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1463
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1464
1465
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1466
1467
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1468
1469
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1470
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1471
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1472
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1473
1474
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1475
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1476
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1477
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1478
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1479
1480
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1481
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1482
1483
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1484
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1485
1486
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1487
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1488
1489
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1490
in handling of revision properties.
1491
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1492
1493
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1494
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1495
1496
INTERNALS:
1497
1498
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1499
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1500
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1501
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1502
(John Arbash Meinel)
1503
1504
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1505
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1506
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1507
1508
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1509
1510
SURPRISES:
1511
1512
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1513
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1514
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1515
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1516
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1517
a more conservative list than the old default.
1518
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1519
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1520
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1521
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1522
1523
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1524
to more locations than just branch locations.
1525
(Aaron Bentley)
1526
1527
IMPROVEMENTS:
1528
1529
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1530
revno:N:branch. For example,
1531
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1532
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1533
1534
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1535
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1536
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1537
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1538
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1539
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1540
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1541
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1542
#42517, #42514)
1543
1544
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1545
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1546
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1547
(Malone #3507)
1548
1549
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1550
(Alexander Belchenko)
1551
1552
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1553
1554
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1555
(Robert Collins).
1556
1557
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1558
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1559
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1560
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1561
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1562
(John Arbash Meinel)
1563
1564
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1565
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1566
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1567
grained analysis of performance.
1568
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1569
1570
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1571
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1572
1573
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1574
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1575
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1576
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1577
file. (Robert Collins).
1578
1579
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1580
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1581
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1582
1583
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1584
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1585
Matthieu Moy)
1586
1587
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1588
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1589
1590
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1591
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1592
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1593
the same way you would apply another branch.
1594
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1595
1596
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1597
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1598
1599
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1600
(Michael Ellerman)
1601
1602
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1603
(Aaron Bentley)
1604
1605
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1606
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1607
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1608
1609
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1610
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1611
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1612
1613
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1614
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1615
1616
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1617
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1618
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1619
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1620
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1621
1622
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1623
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1624
1625
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1626
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1627
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1628
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1629
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1630
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1631
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1632
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1633
1634
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1635
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1636
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1637
1638
BUG FIXES:
1639
1640
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1641
tests not to run.
1642
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1643
1644
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1645
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1646
1647
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1648
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1649
1650
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1651
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1652
1653
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1654
1655
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1656
(John Arbash Meinel)
1657
1658
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1659
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1660
1661
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1662
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1663
and y.
1664
1665
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1666
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1667
1668
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1669
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1670
1671
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1672
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1673
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1674
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1675
1676
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1677
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1678
1679
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1680
1681
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1682
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1683
1684
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1685
1686
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1687
1688
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1689
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1690
1691
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1692
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1693
1694
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1695
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1696
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1697
1698
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1699
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1700
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1701
1702
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1703
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1704
1705
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1706
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1707
1708
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1709
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1710
1711
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1712
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1713
1714
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1715
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1716
1717
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1718
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1719
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1720
1721
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1722
1723
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1724
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1725
1726
INTERNALS:
1727
1728
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1729
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1730
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1731
1732
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1733
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1734
1735
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1736
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1737
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1738
1739
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1740
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1741
1742
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1743
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1744
(Martin Pool)
1745
1746
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1747
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1748
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1749
1750
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1751
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1752
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1753
1754
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1755
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1756
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1757
1758
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1759
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1760
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1761
1762
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1763
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1764
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1765
1766
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1767
instead. (Robert Collins)
1768
1769
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1770
1771
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1772
1773
BUG FIXES:
1774
1775
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1776
1777
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1778
1779
BUG FIXES:
1780
1781
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1782
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)

* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1785
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1786
1787
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1788
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1825
1826
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1827
1828
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1829
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1830
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1831
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1832
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1833
will keep the same format.
1834
1835
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1836
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1837
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1838
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1839
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1840
1841
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1842
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1843
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1844
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1845
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1846
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1847
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1848
1849
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1850
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1851
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1852
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1853
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1854
1855
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1856
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1857
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1858
arrangement.
1859
1860
1861
IMPROVEMENTS:
1862
1863
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1864
convention. Paths now take the form::
1865
1866
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1867
or
1868
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1869
1870
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1871
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1872
1873
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1874
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1875
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1876
1877
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1878
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1879
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1880
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1881
1882
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1883
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1884
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1885
1886
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1887
1888
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1889
1890
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1891
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1892
commits::
1893
1894
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1895
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1896
| xargs bzr re-sign
1897
1898
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1899
1900
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1901
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1902
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1903
(Robert Collins)
1904
1905
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1906
1907
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1908
1909
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1910
'.moved'.
1911
1912
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1913
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1914
1915
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1916
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1917
Daniel Silverstone)
1918
1919
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1920
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1921
Martin Pool)
1922
1923
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1924
1925
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1926
1927
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1928
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1929
1930
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1931
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1932
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1933
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1934
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1935
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1936
1937
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1938
1939
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1940
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1941
(Robert Collins)
1942
1943
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1944
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1945
1946
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1947
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1948
1949
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1950
1951
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1952
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1953
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1954
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1955
specification by Martin Pool.
1956
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1957
1958
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1959
Belchenko)
1960
1961
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1962
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1963
1964
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1965
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1966
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1967
1968
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1969
1970
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1971
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1972
(Robert Collins)
1973
1974
CHANGES:
1975
1976
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1977
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1978
1979
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1980
1981
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1982
1983
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1984
(Olaf Conradi)
1985
1986
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1987
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1988
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1989
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1990
1991
INTERNALS:
1992
1993
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1994
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1995
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1996
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1997
1998
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1999
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2000
tried. (Martin Pool)
2001
2002
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2003
(Martin Pool)
2004
2005
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2006
2007
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2008
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2009
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2010
2011
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2012
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2013
2014
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2015
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2016
paths. (Robert Collins)
2017
2018
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2019
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2020
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2021
2022
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2023
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2024
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2025
2026
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2027
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2028
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2029
2030
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2031
(Olaf Conradi)
2032
2033
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2034
(Olaf Conradi)
2035
2036
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2037
2038
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2039
2040
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2041
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2042
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2043
(Robert Collins)
2044
2045
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2046
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2047
2048
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2049
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2050
check. (Robert Collins)
2051
2052
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2053
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2054
2055
TESTING:
2056
2057
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2058
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2059
2060
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2061
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2062
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2063
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2064
2065
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2066
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2067
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2068
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2069
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2070
2071
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2072
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2073
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2074
2075
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2076
2077
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2078
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

2082
CHANGES:
2083
2084
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2085
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2086
2087
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2088
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2089
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2090
(Johan Rydberg)
2091
2092
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2093
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2094
2095
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2096
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2097
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2098
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2099
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2100
2101
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2102
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2103
used. (Robert Collins)
2104
2105
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2106
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2107
(James Henstridge)
2108
2109
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2110
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2111
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2112
2113
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2114
ignore list.
2115
2116
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2117
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2118
2119
IMPROVEMENTS:
2120
2121
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2122
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2123
2124
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2125
2126
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2127
2128
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2129
tree. (Robert Collins)
2130
2131
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2132
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2133
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2134
(Robert Collins)
2135
2136
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2137
that they be kept.
2138
2139
* Tweaks to short log printing
2140
2141
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2142
(Aaron Bentley)
2143
2144
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2145
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2146
2147
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2148
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2149
2150
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2151
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2152
2153
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2154
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2155
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2156
2157
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2158
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2159
2160
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2161
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2162
requests.
2163
2164
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2165
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2166
2167
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2168
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2169
2170
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2171
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2172
2173
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2174
(Denys Duchier)
2175
2176
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2177
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2178
2179
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2180
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2181
2182
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2183
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2184
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2185
2186
BUG FIXES:
2187
2188
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2189
2190
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2191
2192
* Error when run with -OO
2193
2194
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2195
(Martin Pool)
2196
2197
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2198
2199
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2200
2201
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2202
ignored by diff and status
2203
2204
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2205
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2206
2207
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2208
2209
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2210
2211
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2212
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2213
2214
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2215
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2216
2217
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2218
(Harald Meland)
2219
2220
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2221
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2222
2223
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2224
2225
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2226
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2227
2228
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2229
(Martin Pool)
2230
2231
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2232
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2233
2234
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2235
2236
TESTING:
2237
2238
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2239
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2240
2241
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2242
2243
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2244
2245
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2246
2247
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2248
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2249
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2250
2251
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2252
2253
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2254
(John Arbash Meinel)
2255
2256
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2257
2258
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2259
If adding a new test script please add that to
2260
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2261
2262
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2263
imported. (Martin Pool)
2264
2265
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2266
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2267
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2268
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2269
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2270
(Robert Collins)
2271
2272
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2273
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2274
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2275
2276
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2277
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2278
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2279
2280
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2281
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2282
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2283
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2284
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2285
(Robert Collins).
2286
2287
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2288
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2289
(Robert Collins).
2290
2291
INTERNALS:
2292
2293
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2294
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2295
2296
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2297
function. (Robert Collins)
2298
2299
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2300
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2301
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2302
2303
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2304
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2305
(Robert Collins)
2306
2307
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2308
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2309
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2310
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2311
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2312
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2313
version. (Robert Collins)
2314
2315
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2316
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2317
2318
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2319
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2320
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2321
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2322
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2323
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2324
2325
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2326
(Robert Collins)
2327
2328
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2329
2330
add()
2331
commit()
2332
move()
2333
rename_one()
2334
unknowns()
2335
2336
(Robert Collins)
2337
2338
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2339
2340
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2341
2342
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2343
Pool)
2344
2345
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2346
query method. (Robert Collins)
2347
2348
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2349
(Denys Duchier)
2350
2351
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2352
(Michael Ellerman)
2353
2354
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2355
(Michael Ellerman)
2356
2357
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2358
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2359
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2360
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2361
2362
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2363
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2364
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2365
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2366
2367
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2368
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2369

IMPROVEMENTS:
2373
2374
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2375
(John A Meinel)
2376
2377
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2378
conflicts.
2379
(Aaron Bentley)
2380
2381
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2382
a separator, not ':'.
2383
(Aaron Bentley)
2384
2385
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2386
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2387
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2388
2389
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2390
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2391
(Robert Collins)
2392
2393
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2394
has been added that suppresses all output.
2395
2396
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2397
Adams.
2398
2399
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2400
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2401
2402
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2403
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2404
2405
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2406
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2407
2408
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2409
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2410
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2411
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2412
2413
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2414
2415
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2416
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2417
2418
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2419
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2420
2421
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2422
output directory, if one was supplied.
2423
2424
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2425
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2426
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2427
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2428
2429
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2430
2431
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2432
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2433
2434
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2435
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2436
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2437
2438
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2439
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2440
2441
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2442
(Aaron Bentley)
2443
2444
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2445
2446
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2447
2448
TESTING:
2449
2450
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2451
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2452
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2453
2454
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2455
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2456
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2457
2458
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2459
is given. (Martin Pool)
2460
2461
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2462
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2463
file. (Robert Collins)
2464
2465
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2466
(Martin Pool)
2467
2468
INTERNALS:
2469
2470
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2471
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2472
representation. (Martin Pool).
2473
2474
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2475
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2476
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2477
2478
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2479
(Robert Collins)
2480
2481
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2482
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2483
Magnus Therning.
2484
2485
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2486
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2487
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2488
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2489
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2490
2491
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2492
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2493
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2494
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2495
python path. (Robert Collins)
2496
2497
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2498
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2499
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2500
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2501
2502
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2503
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2504
2505
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2506
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2507
(Robert Collins)
2508
2509
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2510
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2511
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2512
2513
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2514
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2515
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2516
2517
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2518
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2519
2520
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2521
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2522
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2523
(Robert Collins)
2524
2525
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2526
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2527
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2528
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2529
(Robert Collins)
2530
2531
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2532
(Robert Collins)
2533
2534
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2535
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2536
(Robert Collins)
2537
2538
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2539
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2540
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2541
2542
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2543
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2544
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2545
2546
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2547
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2548
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2549
2550
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2551
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2552
2553
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2554
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2555
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2556
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2557
caller. (Robert Collins)
2558
2559
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2560
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2561
(Robert Collins).
2562
2563
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2564
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2565
(Aaron Bentley)
2566
2567
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2568
2569
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2570
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2571
2572
BUG FIXES:
2573
2574
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2575
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2576
2577
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2578
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2579
2580
2581
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2582
2583
BUG FIXES:
2584
2585
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2586
allow directories to be listed.
2587
2588
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2589
upgrading branch format.
2590
2591
PERFORMANCE:
2592
2593
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2594
2595
2596
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2597
2598
NOTES:
2599
2600
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2601
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2602
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2603
high-latency connections.
2604
2605
BUG FIXES:
2606
2607
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2608
Rob Weir.
2609
2610
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2611
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2612
2613
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2614
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2615
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2616
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2617
2618
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2619
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2620
2621
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2622
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2623
2624
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2625
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2626
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2627
2628
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2629
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2630
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2631
Robert Collins
2632
2633
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2634
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2635
2636
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2637
different partial views of history.
2638
2639
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2640
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2641
2642
IMPROVEMENTS:
2643
2644
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2645
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2646
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2647
2648
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2649
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2650
'bzr upgrade'.
2651
2652
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2653
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2654
2655
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2656
Niemeyer.
2657
2658
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2659
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2660
2661
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2662
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2663
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2664
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2665
2666
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2667
2668
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2669
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2670
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2671
2672
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2673
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2674
2675
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2676
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2677
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2678
2679
2680
INTERNALS:
2681
2682
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2683
for your viewing pleasure.
2684
2685
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2686
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2687
2688
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2689
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2690
handling of such circumstances.
2691
2692
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2693
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2694
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2695
2696
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2697
2698
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2699
we call them revisions not patches.
2700
2701
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2702
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2703
2704
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2705
giving the revision *of that file*.
2706
2707
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2708
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2709
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2710
2711
TESTING:
2712
2713
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2714
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2715
2716
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2717
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2718

2720
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23

2722
BUG FIXES:
2723
2724
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2725
2726
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2727
(Robert Collins).
2728
2729
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2730
2731
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2732
2733
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2734
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2735
2736
IMPROVEMENTS:
2737
2738
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2739
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2740
2741
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2742
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2743
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2744
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2745
Robey Pointer
2746
2747
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2748
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2749
2750
INTERNALS:
2751
2752
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2753
2754
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2755
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2756
2757
2758
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2759
2760
IMPROVEMENTS:
2761
2762
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2763
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2764
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2765
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2766
Michael Ellerman.
2767
2768
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2769
(Nir Soffer)
2770
2771
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2772
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2773
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2774
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2775
for the operating system is still tried.
2776
2777
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2778
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2779
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2780
2781
2782
INTERNALS:
2783
2784
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2785
2786
BUG FIXES:
2787
2788
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2789
2790
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2791
branch.
2792
2793
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2794
read.
2795
2796
2797
PORTABILITY:
2798
2799
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2800
2801
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2802
2803
2804
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2805
2806
NEW FEATURES:
2807
2808
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2809
help with intelligent shell completion.
2810
2811
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2812
2813
2814
ENHANCEMENTS:
2815
2816
* Much better merge support.
2817
2818
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2819
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2820
like emacs smerge.
2821
2822
2823
BUG FIXES:
2824
2825
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2826
mention revisions that are not present.
2827
2828
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2829
2830
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2831
2832
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2833
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2834
2835
2836
CHANGES:
2837
2838
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2839
2840
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2841
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2842
--help themselves.
2843
2844
2845
LIBRARY:
2846
2847
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2848
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2849
libraries.
2850
2851
2852
2853
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2854
2855
NEW FEATURES:
2856
2857
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2858
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2859
2860
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2861
2862
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2863
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2864
2865
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2866
FOO.
2867
2868
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2869
2870
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2871
the Unix command.
2872
2873
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2874
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2875
2876
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2877
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2878
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2879
2880
2881
ENHANCEMENTS:
2882
2883
* Faster working tree operations.
2884
2885
2886
CHANGES:
2887
2888
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2889
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2890
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2891
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2892
2893
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2894
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2895
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2896
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2897
standard plugins directory.
2898
2899
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2900
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2901
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2902
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2903
2904
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2905
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2906
2907
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2908
disk.
2909
2910
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2911
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2912
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2913
2914
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2915
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2916
2917
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2918
line options must come before the command name because they
2919
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2920
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2921
it.
2922
2923
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2924
2925
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2926
is available with ``--short``.
2927
2928
2929
BUG FIXES:
2930
2931
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2932
2933
2934
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2935
2936
CHANGES:
2937
2938
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2939
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2940
2941
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2942
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2943
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2944
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2945
2946
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2947
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2948
with the ``--forward`` option.
2949
2950
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2951
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2952
field.
2953
2954
2955
ENHANCEMENTS:
2956
2957
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2958
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2959
2960
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2961
2962
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2963
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2964
2965
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2966
2967
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2968
either read or write mode.
2969
2970
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2971
2972
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2973
affected that file.
2974
2975
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2976
2977
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2978
suggested by LarstiQ.
2979
2980
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2981
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2982
2983
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2984
a filename.
2985
2986
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2987
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2988
2989
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2990
haven't changed since the previous time.
2991
2992
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2993
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2994
2995
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2996
2997
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2998
2999
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3000
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3001
3002
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3003
options through to an external GNU diff.
3004
3005
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3006
their contents.
3007
3008
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3009
from a branch.
3010
3011
3012
BUG FIXES:
3013
3014
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3015
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3016
3017
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3018
metacharacters.
3019
3020
3021
TESTING:
3022
3023
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3024
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3025
the tests.
3026
3027
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3028
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3029
3030
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3031
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3032
3033
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3034
under a different version.
3035
3036
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3037
3038
3039
INTERNAL:
3040
3041
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3042
3043
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3044
Scott James Remnant.
3045
3046
* Better help messages for many commands.
3047
3048
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3049
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3050
3051
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3052
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3053
3054
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3055
3056
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3057
3058
* New AtomicFile class.
3059
3060
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3061
3062
3063
PORTABILITY:
3064
3065
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3066
2.4 is now only recommended.
3067
3068
3069
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3070
3071
ENHANCEMENTS:
3072
3073
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3074
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3075
3076
* More default ignore patterns.
3077
3078
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3079
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3080
3081
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3082
3083
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3084
by Jason Diamon.
3085
3086
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3087
3088
3089
CHANGES:
3090
3091
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3092
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3093
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3094
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3095
there are DNS problems.
3096
3097
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3098
3099
3100
BUG FIXES:
3101
3102
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3103
3104
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3105
3106
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3107
trailing newlines properly.
3108
3109
3110
INTERNAL:
3111
3112
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3113
Matt Brubeck.
3114
3115
* More tests in test.sh.
3116
3117
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3118
directory and delete it when done.
3119
3120
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3121
3122
3123
PORTABILITY:
3124
3125
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3126
Bennetts.
3127
3128
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3129
from QuantumG.
3130
3131
3132
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3133
3134
ENHANCEMENTS:
3135
3136
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3137
in the tree.
3138
3139
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3140
3141
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3142
and/or directory.
3143
3144
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3145
directory.
3146
3147
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3148
3149
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3150
3151
CHANGES:
3152
3153
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3154
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3155
will do for now.)
3156
3157
PORTABILITY:
3158
3159
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3160
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3161
Nielsen.
3162
3163
INTERNAL:
3164
3165
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3166
3167
TESTING:
3168
3169
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3170
3171

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3180
3181
ENHANCEMENTS:
3182
3183
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3184
3185
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3186
rather than replacing it.
3187
3188
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3189
3190
* More help topics.
3191
3192
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3193
branch.
3194
3195
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3196
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3197
3198
* Performance improvements.
3199
3200
* New global --profile option.
3201
3202
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3203
the root directory only.
3204
3205
3206
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3207
3208
ENHANCEMENTS:

3210
* More information from info command.
3211
3212
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3213
3214
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3215
committing to stores.
3216
3217
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3218
3219
BUG FIXES:
3220
3221
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3222
3223
PORTABILITY:
3224
3225
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3226
installation easier.
3227
3228
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3229
supported).
3230
3231
3232
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3233
3234
ENHANCEMENTS:
3235
3236
* First public release.
3237

* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
3239
diff, status, etc.
