IN DEVELOPMENT

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
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
20
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
21
22
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
23
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
24
25
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
26
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
27
28
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
29
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
30
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
31
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
32
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
33
34
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
35
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
36
(Ian Clatworthy)
37
38
TESTING:
39
40
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
41
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
42
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
43
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

BUGFIXES:
49
50
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
51
(Colin Watson, #120647)
52
53
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
54
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

59
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
60
61
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
62
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
63
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
64
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
65
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
66
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
67
and unlock() like so::
68
69
work_tree.lock_read()
70
try:
71
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
72
finally:
73
work_tree.unlock()
74
75
INTERNALS:
76
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
77
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
78
object.
79
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
80
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
81
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
82
83
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
84
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
85
too. (Robert Collins)
86
87
IMPROVEMENTS:
88
89
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
90
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
91
Aaron Bentley)
92
93
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
94
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
95
96
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
97
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
98
99
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
100
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
101
understanding what changes have occurred
102
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
103
104
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
105
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
106
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
107
108
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
109
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
110
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
111
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
112
113
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
114
#56322)
115
116
BUGFIXES:
117
118
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
119
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
120
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
121
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
122
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
123
124
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
125
based on split paths, not just string paths.
126
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
127
128
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
129
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
130
131
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
132
into account.
133
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
134
135
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
136
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
137
138
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
139
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
140
141
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
142
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
143
144
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
145
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
146
147
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
148
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
149
150
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
151
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
152
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
153
154
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
155
156
BUGFIXES:
157
158
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
159
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
160
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
161
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
162
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
163
164
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
165
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
166
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
167
168
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
169
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
170
171
IMPROVEMENTS:
172
173
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
174
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
175
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
176
177
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
178
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
179
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
180
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
181
182
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
183
184
BUGFIXES:
185
186
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
187
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
188
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
189
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
190
191
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
192
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
193
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
194
195
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
196
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
197
198
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
199
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
200
201
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
202
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
203
204
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
205
206
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
207
208
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
209
it could be recovered again.
210
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
211
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
212
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
213
but not delete it.
214
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
215
files.
216
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
217
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
218
219
IMPROVEMENTS:
220
221
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
222
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
223
224
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
225
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
226
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
227
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
228
229
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
230
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
231
232
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
233
tests with names that match that regular expression.
234
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
235
236
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
237
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
238
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
239
240
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
241
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
242
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
243
244
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
245
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
246
Robert Collins)
247
248
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
249
Pool)
250
251
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
252
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
253
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
254
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
255
256
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
257
(Robert Collins)
258
259
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
260
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
261
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
262
(Robert Collins)
263
264
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
265
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
266
267
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
268
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
269
270
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
271
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
272
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
273
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
274
(Robert Collins)
275
276
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
277
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
278
279
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
280
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
281
282
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
283
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
284
(Robert Collins, #107125).
285
286
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
287
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
288
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
289
290
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
291
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
292
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
293
294
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
295
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
296
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
297
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
298
299
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
300
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
301
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
302
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
303
304
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
305
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
306
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
307
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
308
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
309
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
310
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
311
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
312
header(s).
313
(Vincent Ladeuil).
314
315
INTERNALS:
316
317
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
318
code paths. (Robert Collins)
319
320
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
321
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
322
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
323
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
324
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
325
326
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
327
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
328
329
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
330
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
331
332
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
333
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
334
335
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
336
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
337
338
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
339
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
340
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
341
(Robert Collins).
342
343
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
344
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
345
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
346
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
347
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
348
(Robert Collins)
349
350
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
351
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
352
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
353
354
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
355
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
356
(Vincent Ladeuil).
357
358
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
359
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
360
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
361
(Vincent Ladeuil).
362
363
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
364
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
365
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
366
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
367
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
368
369
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
370
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
371
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
372
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
373
374
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
375
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
376
377
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
378
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
379
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
380
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
381
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
382
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
383
384
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
385
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
386
387
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
388
help. (Robert Collins)
389
390
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
391
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
392
393
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
394
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
395
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
396
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
397
(John Arbash Meinel)
398
399
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
400
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
401
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
402
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
403
useful. (Robert Collins)
404
405
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
406
(Andrew Bennetts)
407
408
BUGFIXES:
409
410
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
411
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
412
413
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
414
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
415
416
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
417
properly and is no longer beneficial.
418
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
419
420
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
421
(Aaron Bentley)
422
423
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
424
the file, and does it faster.
425
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
426
427
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
428
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
429
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
430
431
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
432
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
433
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
434
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
435
436
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
437
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
438
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
439
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
440
441
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
442
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
443
444
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
445
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
446
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
447
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
448
Arbash Meinel)
449
450
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
451
452
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
453
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
454
455
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
456
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
457
458
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
459
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
460
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
461
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
462
security hole.
463
(Vincent Ladeuil)
464
465
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
466
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
467
468
TESTING:
469
470
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
471
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
472
in running it. (Robert Collins)
473
474
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
475
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
476
477
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
478
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
479
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
480
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
481
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
482
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
483
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
484
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
485
486
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
487
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
488
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
489
490
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
491
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
492
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
493
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
494
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
495
access.
496
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
497
498
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
499
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
500
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
501
502
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
503
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
520
521
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
522
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
523
(Martin Pool)
524
525
IMPROVEMENTS:
526
527
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
528
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
529
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
530
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
531
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
532
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
533
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
534
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
535
path. (vila)
536
537
INTERNALS:
538
539
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
540
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
541
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
542
543
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
544
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
545
(Martin Pool)
546
547
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
548
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
549
(John Arbash Meinel)
550
551
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
552
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
553
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
554
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
555
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
556
557
BUGFIXES:
558
559
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
560
(vila, #92195)
561
562
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
563
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
564
565
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
566
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
567
568
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
569
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
570
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
571
572
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
573
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
574
575
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
576
last-changed-revision for directories. The
577
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
578
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
579
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
580
581
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
582
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
583
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
584
585
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

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

810
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
811
812
BUGFIXES:
813
814
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
815
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
816
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
817
818
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
819
(Aaron Bentley)
820
821
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
822
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
823
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
824
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
825
826
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
827
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
828
#83954).
829
830
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
831
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
832
833
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
834
835
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
836
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
837
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
838
839
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
840
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
841
842
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)

845
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.

* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
871
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
872
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
873
874
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
875
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
876
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
880
881
IMPROVEMENTS:
882
883
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
884
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
885
server, then you can write over the http connection.
886
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
887
888
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
889
(Marius Kruger)
890
891
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
892
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
893
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
894
895
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
896
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
897
898
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
899
(Aaron Bentley)
900
901
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
902
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
903
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
904
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
905
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
906
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
907
908
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
909
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
910
should enable you to do::

push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
914
push_location:policy = appendpath
915
916
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
917
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
918
(James Henstridge)
919
920
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
921
for each file. For example::
922
923
$ bzr status --short
924
A foo
925
A bar
926
D baz
927
? wooley
928
929
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
930
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
931
932
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
933
934
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
935
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
936
937
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
938
939
INTERNALS:
940
941
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
942
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
943
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
944
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
945
946
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
947
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
948
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
949
950
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
951
952
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
953
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
954
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
955
(Alexander Belchenko)
956
957
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
958
Pool)
959
960
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
961
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
962
963
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
964
965
BUG FIXES:
966
967
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
968
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
969
970
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
971
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
972
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
973
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
974
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
975
976
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
977
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
978
979
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
980
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
981
982
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
983
matcher.
984
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
985
986
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
987
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
988
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
989
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
990
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
991
992
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
993
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
994
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
995
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
996
997
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
998
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
999
1000
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1001
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1002
1003
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1004
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1005
1006
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1017
1018
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1019
tree from a branch.
1020
(Daniel Silverstone)
1021
1022
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1023
operations are substantially faster.
1024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1025
1026
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1027
tree from some other url. For example:
1028
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1029
(Daniel Silverstone)
1030
1031
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1032
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1033
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1034
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1035
1036
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1037
(Andrew Bennetts)
1038
1039
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1040
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1041
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1042
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1043
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1044
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1045
1046
INTERNALS:
1047
1048
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1049
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1050
(Martin Pool)
1051
1052
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1053
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1054
(John Arbash Meinel)
1055
1056
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1057
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1058
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1059
(John Arbash Meinel)
1060
1061
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1062
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1063
1064
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1065
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1066
1067
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1068
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1069
Bennetts)
1070
1071
BUG FIXES:
1072
1073
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1074
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1075
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1076
1077
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1078
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1079
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1080
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1081
1082
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1083
1084
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1085
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1086
1087
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1088
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1089
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1091
1092
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1093
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1094
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1095
1096
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1097
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1098
them as full references rather than integers.
1099
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1100
1101
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1102
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1103
1104
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1105
1106
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1107
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1108
1109
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1110
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1111
1112
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1113
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1114
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1115
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1116
1117
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1118
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1119
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1120
1121
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1122
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1123
1124
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1125
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1126
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1127
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1128
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1129
1130
TESTING:
1131
1132
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1133
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1134
1135
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1136
1137
INTERNALS:
1138
1139
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1140
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1141
(John Arbash Meinel)
1142
1143
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1144
1145
IMPROVEMENTS:
1146
1147
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1148
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1149
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1150
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1151
1152
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1153
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1154
1155
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1156
1157
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1158
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1159
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1160
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1161
1162
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1163
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1164
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1165
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1166
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1167
1168
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1169
1170
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1171
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1172
1173
INTERNALS:
1174
1175
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1176
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1177
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1178
1179
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1180
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1181
(John Arbash Meinel)
1182
1183
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1184
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1185
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1186
1187
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1188
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1189
(Aaron Bentley)
1190
1191
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1192
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1193
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1194
1195
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1196
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1197
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1198
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1199
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1200
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1201
1202
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1203
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1204
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1205
(Robert Collins)
1206
1207
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1208
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1209
1210
BUG FIXES:
1211
1212
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1213
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1214
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1215
#63360, #66349)
1216
1217
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1218
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1219
1220
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1221
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1222
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1223
1224
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1225
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1226
1227
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1228
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1229
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1230
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1231
1232
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1233
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1234
1235
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1236
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1237
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1238
1239
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1240
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1241
1242
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1243
1244
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1245
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1246
#32054)
1247
1248
TESTING:
1249
1250
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1251
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1252
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1253
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1254
1255
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1256
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1257
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1258
1259
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
1260
1261
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1262
1263
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1264
1265
BUG FIXES:
1266
1267
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1268
1269
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1270
Arbash Meinel).
1271
1272
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1273
1274
IMPROVEMENTS:
1275
1276
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1277
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1278
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1279
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1280
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1281
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1282
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1283
1284
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1285
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1286
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1287
1288
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1289
1290
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1291
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1292
1293
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1294
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1295
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1296
(Robert Collins)
1297
1298
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1299
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1300
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1301
(John Arbash Meinel)
1302
1303
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1304
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1305
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1306
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1307
Pool)
1308
1309
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1310
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1311
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1312
(John Arbash Meinel)
1313
1314
BUG FIXES:
1315
1316
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1317
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1318
1319
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1320
1321
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1322
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1323
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1324
1325
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1326
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1327
1328
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1329
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1330
1331
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1332
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1333
1334
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1335
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1336
1337
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1338
1339
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1340
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1341
1342
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1343
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1344
1345
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1346
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1347
1348
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1349
(John Arbash Meinel)
1350
1351
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1352
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1353
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1354
1355
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1356
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1357
1358
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1359
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1360
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1361
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1362
1363
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1364
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1365
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1366
1367
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1368
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1369
1370
PORTABILITY:
1371
1372
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1373
1374
INTERNALS:
1375
1376
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1377
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1378
(John Arbash Meinel)
1379
1380
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1381
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1382
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1383
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1384
1385
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1386
(Andrew Bennetts)
1387
1388
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1389
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1390
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1391
1392
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1393
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1394
1395
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1396
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1397
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1398
1399
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1400
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1401
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1402
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1403
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1404
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1405
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1406
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1407
caller to repeat their request.
1408
(John Arbash Meinel)
1409
1410
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1411
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1414
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1415
1416
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1417
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1418
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1419
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1420
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1421
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1422
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1423
1424
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1425
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1426
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1427
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1428
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1429
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1430
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1431
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1432
(Robert Collins)
1433
1434
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1435
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1436
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1437
1438
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1439
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1440
1441
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1442
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1443
1444
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1445
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1446
1447
TESTING:
1448
1449
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1450
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1451
1452
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1453
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1454
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1455
1456
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1457
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1458
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1459
1460
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1461
1462
IMPROVEMENTS:
1463
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1464
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1465
1466
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1467
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1468
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1469
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1470
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1471
1472
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1473
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1474
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1475
1476
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1477
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1478
1479
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1480
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1481
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1482
1483
BUG FIXES:
1484
1485
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1486
1487
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1488
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1489
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1490
1491
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1492
1493
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1494
1495
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1496
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1497
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1498
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1499
1500
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1501
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1502
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1503
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1504
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1505
1506
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1507
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1508
1509
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1510
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1511
1512
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1513
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1514
1515
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1516
in handling of revision properties.
1517
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1518
1519
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1520
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1521
1522
INTERNALS:
1523
1524
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1525
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1526
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1527
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1528
(John Arbash Meinel)
1529
1530
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1531
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1532
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1533
1534
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1535
1536
SURPRISES:
1537
1538
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1539
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1540
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1541
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1542
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1543
a more conservative list than the old default.
1544
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1545
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1546
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1547
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1548
1549
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1550
to more locations than just branch locations.
1551
(Aaron Bentley)
1552
1553
IMPROVEMENTS:
1554
1555
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1556
revno:N:branch. For example,
1557
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1558
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1559
1560
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1561
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1562
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1563
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1564
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1565
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1566
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1567
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1568
#42517, #42514)
1569
1570
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1571
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1572
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1573
(Malone #3507)
1574
1575
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1576
(Alexander Belchenko)
1577
1578
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1579
1580
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1581
(Robert Collins).
1582
1583
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1584
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1585
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1586
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1587
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1588
(John Arbash Meinel)
1589
1590
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1591
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1592
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1593
grained analysis of performance.
1594
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1595
1596
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1597
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1598
1599
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1600
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1601
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1602
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1603
file. (Robert Collins).
1604
1605
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1606
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1607
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1608
1609
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1610
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1611
Matthieu Moy)
1612
1613
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1614
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1615
1616
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1617
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1618
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1619
the same way you would apply another branch.
1620
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1621
1622
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1623
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1624
1625
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1626
(Michael Ellerman)
1627
1628
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1629
(Aaron Bentley)
1630
1631
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1632
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1633
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1634
1635
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1636
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1637
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1638
1639
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1640
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1641
1642
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1643
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1644
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1645
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1646
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1647
1648
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1649
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1650
1651
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1652
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1653
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1654
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1655
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1656
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1657
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1658
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1659
1660
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1661
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1662
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1663
1664
BUG FIXES:
1665
1666
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1667
tests not to run.
1668
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1669
1670
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1671
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1672
1673
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1674
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1675
1676
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1677
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1678
1679
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1680
1681
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1682
(John Arbash Meinel)
1683
1684
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1685
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1686
1687
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1688
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1689
and y.
1690
1691
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1692
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1693
1694
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1695
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1696
1697
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1698
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1699
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1700
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1701
1702
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1703
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1704
1705
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1706
1707
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1708
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1709
1710
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1711
1712
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1713
1714
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1715
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1716
1717
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1718
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1719
1720
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1721
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1722
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1723
1724
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1725
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1726
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1727
1728
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1729
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1730
1731
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1732
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1733
1734
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1735
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1736
1737
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1738
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1739
1740
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1741
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1742
1743
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1744
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1745
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1746
1747
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1748
1749
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1750
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1751
1752
INTERNALS:
1753
1754
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1755
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1756
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1757
1758
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1759
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1760
1761
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1762
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1763
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1764
1765
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1766
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1767
1768
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1769
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1770
(Martin Pool)
1771
1772
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1773
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1774
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1775
1776
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1777
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1778
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1779
1780
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1781
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1782

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1851
1852
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1853
1854
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1855
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1856
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1857
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1858
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1859
will keep the same format.
1860
1861
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1862
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1863
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1864
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1865
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1866
1867
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1868
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1869
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1870
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1871
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1872
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1873
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1874
1875
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1876
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1877
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1878
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1879
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1880
1881
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1882
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1883
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1884
arrangement.
1885
1886
1887
IMPROVEMENTS:
1888
1889
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1890
convention. Paths now take the form::
1891
1892
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1893
or
1894
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1895
1896
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1897
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1898
1899
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1900
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1901
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1902
1903
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1904
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1905
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1906
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1907
1908
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1909
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1910
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1911
1912
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1913
1914
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1915
1916
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1917
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1918
commits::
1919
1920
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1921
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1922
| xargs bzr re-sign
1923
1924
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1925
1926
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1927
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1928
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1929
(Robert Collins)
1930
1931
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1932
1933
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1934
1935
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1936
'.moved'.
1937
1938
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1939
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1940
1941
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1942
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1943
Daniel Silverstone)
1944
1945
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1946
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1947
Martin Pool)
1948
1949
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1950
1951
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1952
1953
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1954
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1955
1956
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1957
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1958
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1959
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1960
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1961
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1962
1963
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1964
1965
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1966
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1967
(Robert Collins)
1968
1969
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1970
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1971
1972
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1973
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1974
1975
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1976
1977
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1978
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1979
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1980
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1981
specification by Martin Pool.
1982
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1983
1984
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1985
Belchenko)
1986
1987
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1988
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1989
1990
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1991
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1992
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1993
1994
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1995
1996
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1997
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1998
(Robert Collins)
1999
2000
CHANGES:
2001
2002
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2003
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2004
2005
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2006
2007
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2008
2009
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2010
(Olaf Conradi)
2011
2012
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2013
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2014
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2015
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2016
2017
INTERNALS:
2018
2019
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2020
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2021
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2022
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2023
2024
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2025
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2026
tried. (Martin Pool)
2027
2028
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2029
(Martin Pool)
2030
2031
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2032
2033
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2034
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2035
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2036
2037
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2038
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2039
2040
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2041
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2042
paths. (Robert Collins)
2043
2044
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2045
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2046
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2047
2048
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2049
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2050
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2051
2052
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2053
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2054
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2055
2056
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2057
(Olaf Conradi)
2058
2059
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2060
(Olaf Conradi)
2061
2062
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2063
2064
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2065
2066
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2067
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2068
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2069
(Robert Collins)
2070
2071
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2072
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2073
2074
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2075
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2076
check. (Robert Collins)
2077
2078
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2079
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2080
2081
TESTING:
2082
2083
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2084
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2085
2086
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2087
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2088
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2089
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2090
2091
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2092
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2093
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2094
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2095
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2096
2097
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2098
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2099
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2100
2101
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2102
2103
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2104
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

CHANGES:
2109
2110
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2111
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2112
2113
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2114
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2115
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2116
(Johan Rydberg)
2117
2118
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2119
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2120
2121
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2122
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2123
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2124
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2125
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2126
2127
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2128
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2129
used. (Robert Collins)
2130
2131
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2132
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2133
(James Henstridge)
2134
2135
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2136
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2137
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2138
2139
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2140
ignore list.
2141
2142
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2143
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2144
2145
IMPROVEMENTS:
2146
2147
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2148
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2149
2150
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2151
2152
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2153
2154
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2155
tree. (Robert Collins)
2156
2157
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2158
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2159
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2160
(Robert Collins)
2161
2162
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2163
that they be kept.
2164
2165
* Tweaks to short log printing
2166
2167
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2168
(Aaron Bentley)
2169
2170
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2171
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2172
2173
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2174
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2175
2176
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2177
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2178
2179
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2180
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2181
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2182
2183
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2184
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2185
2186
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2187
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2188
requests.
2189
2190
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2191
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2192
2193
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2194
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2195
2196
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2197
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2198
2199
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2200
(Denys Duchier)
2201
2202
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2203
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2204
2205
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2206
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2207
2208
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2209
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2210
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2211
2212
BUG FIXES:
2213
2214
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2215
2216
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2217
2218
* Error when run with -OO
2219
2220
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2221
(Martin Pool)
2222
2223
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2224
2225
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2226
2227
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2228
ignored by diff and status
2229
2230
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2231
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2232
2233
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2234
2235
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2236
2237
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2238
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2239
2240
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2241
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2242
2243
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2244
(Harald Meland)
2245
2246
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2247
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2248
2249
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2250
2251
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2252
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2253
2254
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2255
(Martin Pool)
2256
2257
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2258
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)

* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2265
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2266
2267
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2268
2269
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2270
2271
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2272
2273
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2274
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2275
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2276
2277
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2278
2279
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2280
(John Arbash Meinel)
2281
2282
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2283
2284
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2285
If adding a new test script please add that to
2286
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2287
2288
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2289
imported. (Martin Pool)
2290
2291
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2292
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2293
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2294
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2295
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2296
(Robert Collins)
2297
2298
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2299
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2300
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2301
2302
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2303
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2304
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2305
2306
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2307
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2308
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2309
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2310
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2311
(Robert Collins).
2312
2313
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2314
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2315
(Robert Collins).
2316
2317
INTERNALS:
2318
2319
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2320
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2321
2322
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2323
function. (Robert Collins)
2324
2325
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2326
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2327
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2330
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2331
(Robert Collins)
2332
2333
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2334
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2335
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2336
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2337
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2338
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2339
version. (Robert Collins)
2340
2341
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2342
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2343
2344
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2345
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2346
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2347
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2348
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2349
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2350
2351
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2352
(Robert Collins)
2353
2354
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2355
2356
add()
2357
commit()
2358
move()
2359
rename_one()
2360
unknowns()
2361
2362
(Robert Collins)
2363
2364
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2365
2366
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2367
2368
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2369
Pool)
2370
2371
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2372
query method. (Robert Collins)
2373
2374
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2375
(Denys Duchier)
2376
2377
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2378
(Michael Ellerman)
2379
2380
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2381
(Michael Ellerman)
2382
2383
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2384
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2385
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2386
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2387
2388
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2389
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2390
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2391
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2392
2393
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2394
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2395
2396
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28

IMPROVEMENTS:
2399
2400
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2401
(John A Meinel)
2402
2403
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2404
conflicts.
2405
(Aaron Bentley)
2406
2407
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2408
a separator, not ':'.
2409
(Aaron Bentley)
2410
2411
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2412
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2413
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2414
2415
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2416
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2417
(Robert Collins)
2418
2419
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2420
has been added that suppresses all output.
2421
2422
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2423
Adams.
2424
2425
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2426
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2427
2428
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2429
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2430
2431
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2432
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2433
2434
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2435
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2436
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2437
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2438
2439
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2440
2441
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2442
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2443
2444
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2445
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2446
2447
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2448
output directory, if one was supplied.
2449
2450
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2451
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2452
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2453
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2454
2455
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2456
2457
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2458
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2459
2460
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2461
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2462
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2463
2464
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2465
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2466
2467
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2468
(Aaron Bentley)
2469
2470
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2471
2472
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2473
2474
TESTING:
2475
2476
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2477
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2478
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2479
2480
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2481
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2482
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2483
2484
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2485
is given. (Martin Pool)
2486
2487
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2488
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2489
file. (Robert Collins)
2490
2491
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2492
(Martin Pool)
2493
2494
INTERNALS:
2495
2496
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2497
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2498
representation. (Martin Pool).
2499
2500
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2501
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2502
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2503
2504
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2505
(Robert Collins)
2506
2507
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2508
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2509
Magnus Therning.
2510
2511
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2512
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2513
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2514
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2515
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2516
2517
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2518
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2519
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2520
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2521
python path. (Robert Collins)
2522
2523
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2524
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2525
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2526
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2527
2528
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2529
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2530
2531
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2532
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2533
(Robert Collins)
2534
2535
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2536
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2537
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2538
2539
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2540
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2541
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2542
2543
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2544
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2545
2546
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2547
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2548
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2549
(Robert Collins)
2550
2551
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2552
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2553
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2554
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2555
(Robert Collins)
2556
2557
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2558
(Robert Collins)
2559
2560
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2561
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2562
(Robert Collins)
2563
2564
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2565
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2566
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2567
2568
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2569
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2570
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2571
2572
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2573
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2574
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2575
2576
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2577
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2578
2579
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2580
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2581
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2582
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2583
caller. (Robert Collins)
2584
2585
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2586
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2587
(Robert Collins).
2588
2589
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2590
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2591
(Aaron Bentley)
2592
2593
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2594
2595
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2596
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2597
2598
BUG FIXES:
2599
2600
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2601
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2602
2603
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2604
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2605
2606
2607
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2608
2609
BUG FIXES:
2610
2611
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2612
allow directories to be listed.
2613
2614
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2615
upgrading branch format.
2616
2617
PERFORMANCE:
2618
2619
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

2622
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2623
2624
NOTES:
2625
2626
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2627
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2628
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2629
high-latency connections.
2630
2631
BUG FIXES:
2632
2633
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2634
Rob Weir.
2635
2636
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2637
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2638
2639
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2640
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2641
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2642
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2643
2644
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2645
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2646
2647
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2648
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2649
2650
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2651
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2652
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2653
2654
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2655
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2656
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2657
Robert Collins
2658
2659
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2660
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2661
2662
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2663
different partial views of history.
2664
2665
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2666
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2667
2668
IMPROVEMENTS:
2669
2670
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2671
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2672
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2673
2674
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2675
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2676
'bzr upgrade'.
2677
2678
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2679
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2680
2681
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2682
Niemeyer.
2683
2684
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2685
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2686
2687
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2688
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2689
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2690
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2691
2692
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2693
2694
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2695
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2696
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2697
2698
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2699
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2700
2701
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2702
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2703
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2704
2705
2706
INTERNALS:
2707
2708
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2709
for your viewing pleasure.
2710
2711
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2712
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2713
2714
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2715
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2716
handling of such circumstances.
2717
2718
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2719
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2720
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2721
2722
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2723
2724
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2725
we call them revisions not patches.
2726
2727
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2728
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2729
2730
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2731
giving the revision *of that file*.
2732
2733
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2734
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2735
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2736
2737
TESTING:
2738
2739
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2740
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2741
2742
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2743
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2751
2752
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2753
(Robert Collins).
2754
2755
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2756
2757
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2758
2759
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2760
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2761
2762
IMPROVEMENTS:
2763
2764
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2765
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2766
2767
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2768
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2769
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2770
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2771
Robey Pointer
2772
2773
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2774
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2775
2776
INTERNALS:
2777
2778
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2779
2780
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2781
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2782
2783
2784
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2785
2786
IMPROVEMENTS:
2787
2788
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2789
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2790
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2791
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2792
Michael Ellerman.
2793
2794
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2795
(Nir Soffer)
2796
2797
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2798
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2799
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2800
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2801
for the operating system is still tried.
2802
2803
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2804
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2805
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2806
2807
2808
INTERNALS:
2809
2810
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2811
2812
BUG FIXES:
2813
2814
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2815
2816
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2817
branch.
2818
2819
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2820
read.
2821
2822
2823
PORTABILITY:
2824
2825
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2826
2827
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2828
2829
2830
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2831
2832
NEW FEATURES:
2833
2834
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2835
help with intelligent shell completion.
2836
2837
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2838
2839
2840
ENHANCEMENTS:
2841
2842
* Much better merge support.
2843
2844
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2845
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2846
like emacs smerge.
2847
2848
2849
BUG FIXES:
2850
2851
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2852
mention revisions that are not present.
2853
2854
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2855
2856
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2857
2858
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2859
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2860
2861
2862
CHANGES:
2863
2864
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2865
2866
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2867
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2868
--help themselves.
2869
2870
2871
LIBRARY:
2872
2873
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2874
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2875
libraries.
2876
2877
2878
2879
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2880
2881
NEW FEATURES:
2882
2883
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2884
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2885
2886
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2887
2888
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2889
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2890
2891
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2892
FOO.
2893
2894
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2895
2896
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2897
the Unix command.
2898
2899
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2900
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2901
2902
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2903
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2904
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2905
2906
2907
ENHANCEMENTS:
2908
2909
* Faster working tree operations.
2910
2911
2912
CHANGES:
2913
2914
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2915
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2916
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2917
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2918
2919
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2920
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2921
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2922
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2923
standard plugins directory.
2924
2925
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2926
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2927
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2928
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2929
2930
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2931
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2932
2933
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2934
disk.
2935
2936
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2937
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2938
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2939
2940
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2941
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2942
2943
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2944
line options must come before the command name because they
2945
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2946
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2947
it.
2948
2949
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2950
2951
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2952
is available with ``--short``.
2953
2954
2955
BUG FIXES:
2956
2957
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2958
2959
2960
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2961
2962
CHANGES:
2963
2964
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2965
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2966
2967
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2968
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2969
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2970
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2971
2972
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2973
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2974
with the ``--forward`` option.
2975
2976
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2977
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2978
field.
2979
2980
2981
ENHANCEMENTS:
2982
2983
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2984
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2985
2986
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2987
2988
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2989
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2990
2991
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2992
2993
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2994
either read or write mode.
2995
2996
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2997
2998
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2999
affected that file.
3000
3001
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3002
3003
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3004
suggested by LarstiQ.
3005
3006
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3007
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3008
3009
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3010
a filename.
3011
3012
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3013
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3014
3015
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3016
haven't changed since the previous time.
3017
3018
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3019
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3020
3021
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3022
3023
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3024
3025
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3026
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3027
3028
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3029
options through to an external GNU diff.
3030
3031
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3032
their contents.
3033
3034
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3035
from a branch.
3036
3037
3038
BUG FIXES:
3039
3040
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3041
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3042
3043
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3044
metacharacters.
3045
3046
3047
TESTING:
3048
3049
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3050
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3051
the tests.
3052
3053
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3054
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3055
3056
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3057
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3058
3059
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3060
under a different version.
3061
3062
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3063
3064
3065
INTERNAL:
3066
3067
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3068
3069
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3070
Scott James Remnant.
3071
3072
* Better help messages for many commands.
3073
3074
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3075
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3076
3077
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3078
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3079
3080
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3081
3082
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3083
3084
* New AtomicFile class.
3085
3086
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3087
3088
3089
PORTABILITY:
3090
3091
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3092
2.4 is now only recommended.
3093
3094
3095
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3096
3097
ENHANCEMENTS:
3098
3099
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3100
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3101
3102
* More default ignore patterns.
3103
3104
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3105
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3106
3107
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3108
3109
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3110
by Jason Diamon.
3111
3112
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3113
3114
3115
CHANGES:
3116
3117
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3118
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3119
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3120
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3121
there are DNS problems.
3122
3123
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3124
3125
3126
BUG FIXES:
3127
3128
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3129
3130
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3131
3132
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3133
trailing newlines properly.
3134
3135
3136
INTERNAL:
3137
3138
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3139
Matt Brubeck.
3140
3141
* More tests in test.sh.
3142
3143
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3144
directory and delete it when done.
3145
3146
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3147
3148
3149
PORTABILITY:
3150
3151
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3152
Bennetts.
3153
3154
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3155
from QuantumG.
3156
3157
3158
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3159
3160
ENHANCEMENTS:
3161
3162
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3163
in the tree.
3164
3165
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3166
3167
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3168
and/or directory.
3169
3170
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3171
directory.
3172
3173
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3174
3175
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3176
3177
CHANGES:
3178
3179
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3180
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3181
will do for now.)
3182
3183
PORTABILITY:
3184
3185
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3186
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3187
Nielsen.
3188
3189
INTERNAL:
3190
3191
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3192
3193
TESTING:
3194
3195

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3206
3207
ENHANCEMENTS:
3208
3209
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3210
3211
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3212
rather than replacing it.
3213
3214
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3215
3216
* More help topics.
3217
3218
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3219
branch.
3220
3221
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3222
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3223
3224
* Performance improvements.
3225
3226
* New global --profile option.
3227
3228
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3229
the root directory only.
3230
3231
3232
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3233
3234
ENHANCEMENTS:
3235
3236
* More information from info command.
3237
3238
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3239
3240
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3241
committing to stores.
3242
3243
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3244
3245
BUG FIXES:
3246
3247
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3248
3249
PORTABILITY:

3252
installation easier.
3253
3254
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3255
supported).
3256
3257
3258
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3259
3260
ENHANCEMENTS:
3261
3262
* First public release.

* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
3265
diff, status, etc.
