BUGFIXES:
4
5
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
6
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7
8
IMPROVEMENTS:
9
10
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
11
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
12
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
13
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
14
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
15
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
16
17
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
18
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
19
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
20
21
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
22
(Elliot Murphy)
23
24
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
25
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
26
27
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
28
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
29
30
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
31
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
32
33
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
34
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
35
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
36
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
37
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
38
39
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
40
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
41
(Ian Clatworthy)
42
43
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
44
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
45
46
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
47
output. (Aaron Bentley)
48
49
INTERNALS:
50
51
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
52
53
TESTING:
54
55
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
56
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
57
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
58
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
59
60
BUGFIXES:
61
62
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
63
authentication header.
64
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
65
66
67
bzr 0.17 2007-06-18
68
69
BUGFIXES:
70
71
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
72
(Colin Watson, #120647)
73
74
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
75
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
76
77
78
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
79
80
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
81
82
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
83
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
84
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
85
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
86
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
87
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
88
and unlock() like so::
89
90
work_tree.lock_read()
91
try:
92
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
93
finally:
94
work_tree.unlock()
95
96
INTERNALS:
97
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
98
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
99
object.
100
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
101
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
102
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
103
104
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
105
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
106
too. (Robert Collins)
107
108
IMPROVEMENTS:
109
110
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
111
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
112
Aaron Bentley)
113
114
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
115
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
116
117
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
118
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
119
120
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
121
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
122
understanding what changes have occurred
123
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
124
125
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
126
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
127
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
128
129
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
130
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
131
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
132
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
133
134
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
135
#56322)
136
137
BUGFIXES:
138
139
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
140
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
141
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
142
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
143
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
144
145
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
146
based on split paths, not just string paths.
147
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
148
149
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
151
152
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
153
into account.
154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
155
156
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
157
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
158
159
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
160
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
161
162
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
163
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
164
165
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
166
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
167
168
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
169
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
170
171
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
172
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
173
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
174
175
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
176
177
BUGFIXES:
178
179
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
180
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
181
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
182
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
183
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
184
185
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
186
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
187
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
188
189
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
190
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
191
192
IMPROVEMENTS:
193
194
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
195
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
196
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
197
198
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
199
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
200
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
201
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
202
203
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
204
205
BUGFIXES:
206
207
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
208
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
209
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
210
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
211
212
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
213
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
214
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
215
216
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
217
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
218
219
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
220
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
221
222
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
223
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
224
225
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
226
227
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
228
229
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
230
it could be recovered again.
231
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
232
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
233
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
234
but not delete it.
235
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
236
files.
237
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
238
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
239
240
IMPROVEMENTS:
241
242
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
243
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
244
245
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
246
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
247
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
248
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
249
250
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
251
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
252
253
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
254
tests with names that match that regular expression.
255
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
256
257
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
258
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
259
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
260
261
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
262
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
263
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
264
265
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
266
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
267
Robert Collins)
268
269
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
270
Pool)
271
272
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
273
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
274
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
275
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
276
277
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
278
(Robert Collins)
279
280
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
281
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
282
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
283
(Robert Collins)
284
285
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
286
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
287
288
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
289
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
290
291
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
292
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
293
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
294
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
295
(Robert Collins)
296
297
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
298
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
299
300
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
301
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
302
303
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
304
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
305
(Robert Collins, #107125).
306
307
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
308
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
309
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
310
311
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
312
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
313
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
314
315
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
316
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
317
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
318
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
319
320
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
321
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
322
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
323
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
324
325
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
326
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
327
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
328
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
329
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
330
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
331
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
332
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
333
header(s).
334
(Vincent Ladeuil).
335
336
INTERNALS:
337
338
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
339
code paths. (Robert Collins)
340
341
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
342
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
343
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
344
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
345
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
346
347
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
348
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
349
350
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
351
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
352
353
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
354
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
355
356
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
357
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
358
359
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
360
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
361
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
362
(Robert Collins).
363
364
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
365
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
366
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
367
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
368
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
369
(Robert Collins)
370
371
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
372
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
373
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
374
375
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
376
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
377
(Vincent Ladeuil).
378
379
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
380
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
381
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
382
(Vincent Ladeuil).
383
384
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
385
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
386
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
387
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
388
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
389
390
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
391
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
392
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
393
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
394
395
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
396
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
397
398
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
399
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
400
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
401
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
402
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
403
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
404
405
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
406
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
407
408
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
409
help. (Robert Collins)
410
411
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
412
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
413
414
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
415
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
416
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
417
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
418
(John Arbash Meinel)
419
420
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
421
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
422
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
423
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
424
useful. (Robert Collins)
425
426
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
427
(Andrew Bennetts)
428
429
BUGFIXES:
430
431
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
432
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
433
434
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
435
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
436
437
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
438
properly and is no longer beneficial.
439
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
440
441
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
442
(Aaron Bentley)
443
444
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
445
the file, and does it faster.
446
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
447
448
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
449
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
450
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
451
452
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
453
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
454
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
455
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
456
457
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
458
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
459
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
460
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
461
462
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
463
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
464
465
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
466
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
467
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
468
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
469
Arbash Meinel)
470
471
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
472
473
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
474
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
475
476
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
477
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
478
479
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
480
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
481
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
482
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
483
security hole.
484
(Vincent Ladeuil)
485
486
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
487
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
488
489
TESTING:
490
491
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
492
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
493
in running it. (Robert Collins)
494
495
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
496
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
497
498
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
499
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
500
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
501
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
502
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
503
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
504
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
505
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
506
507
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
508
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
509
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
510
511
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
512
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
513
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
514
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
515
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
516
access.
517
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
518
519
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
520
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
521
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
522
523
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
524
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
541
542
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
543
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
544
(Martin Pool)
545
546
IMPROVEMENTS:
547
548
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
549
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
550
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
551
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
552
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
553
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
554
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
555
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
556
path. (vila)
557
558
INTERNALS:
559
560
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
561
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
562
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
563
564
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
565
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
566
(Martin Pool)
567
568
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
569
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
570
(John Arbash Meinel)
571
572
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
573
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
574
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
575
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
576
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
577
578
BUGFIXES:
579
580
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
581
(vila, #92195)
582
583
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
584
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
585
586
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
587
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
588
589
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
590
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
591
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
592
593
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
594
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
595
596
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
597
last-changed-revision for directories. The
598
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
599
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
600
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
601
602
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
603
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
604
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
605
606
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

610
611
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
612
613
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
614
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
615
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
616
617
IMPROVEMENTS:
618
619
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
620
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
621
622
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
623
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
624
625
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
626
627
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
628
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
629
630
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
631
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
632
633
INTERNALS:
634
635
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
636
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
637
638
BUGFIXES:
639
640
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
641
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
642
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
643
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
644
645
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
646
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
647
648
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
649
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
650
651
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
652
(Marien Zwart)
653
654
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
655

656
657
658
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
659
660
SURPRISES:
661
662
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
663
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
664
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
665
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
666
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
667
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
668
669
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
670
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
671
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
672
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
673
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
674
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
675
development.
676
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
677
678
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
679
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
680
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
681
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
682
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
683
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
684
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
685
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
686
687
IMPROVEMENTS:
688
689
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
690
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
691
692
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
693
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
694
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
695
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
696
does exist.
697
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
698
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
699
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
700
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
701
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
702
703
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
704
(Aaron Bentley)
705
706
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
707
(Aaron Bentley)
708
709
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
710
(Robert Collins)
711
712
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
713
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
714
(Aaron Bentley)
715
716
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
717
(Aaron Bentley)
718
719
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
720
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
721
722
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
723
directory. (Martin Pool)
724
725
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
726
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
727
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
728
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
729
730
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
731
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
732
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
733
in docs/configuration.txt.
734
735
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
736
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
737
bind location.
738
739
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
740
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
741
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
742
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
743
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
744
repositories. (Martin Pool)
745
746
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
747
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
748
749
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
750
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
751
752
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
753
(Aaron Bentley)
754
755
INTERNALS:
756
757
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
758
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
759
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
760
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
761
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
762
(John Arbash Meinel)
763
764
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
765
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
766
(Aaron Bentley)
767
768
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
769
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
770
(John Arbash Meinel)
771
772
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
773
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
774
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
775
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
776
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
777
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
778
779
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
780
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
781
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
782
783
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
784
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
785
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
786
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
787
repository.
788
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
789
790
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
791
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
792
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
793
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
794
795
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
796
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
797
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
798
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
799
800
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
801
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
802
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
803
804
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
805
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
806
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
807
808
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
809
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
810
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
811
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
812
813
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
814
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
815
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
816
817
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
818
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
819
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
820
821
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
822
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
823
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
824
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
825
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
826
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
827
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
828
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
829
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

831
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
832
833
BUGFIXES:
834
835
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
836
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
837
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
838
839
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
840
(Aaron Bentley)
841
842
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
843
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
844
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
845
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
846
847
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
848
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
849
#83954).
850
851
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
852
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
853
854
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)

(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
894
895

906
server, then you can write over the http connection.
907
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
908
909
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
910
(Marius Kruger)
911
912
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
913
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
914
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
915
916
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
917
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
918

* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
920
(Aaron Bentley)
921
922
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
923
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
924
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
925
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
926
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
927
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
928
929
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
930
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
931
should enable you to do::
932
933
[/home/user/project]
934
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
935
push_location:policy = appendpath
936
937
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
938
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
939
(James Henstridge)
940
941
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
942
for each file. For example::
943
944
$ bzr status --short
945
A foo
946
A bar
947
D baz
948
? wooley
949
950
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
951
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
952
953
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
954
955
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
956
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
957
958
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
959
960
INTERNALS:
961
962
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
963
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
964
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
965
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
966
967
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
968
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
969
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
970
971
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
972
973
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
974
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
975
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
976
(Alexander Belchenko)
977
978
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
979
Pool)
980
981
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
982
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
983
984
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
985
986
BUG FIXES:
987
988
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
989
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
990
991
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
992
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
993
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
994
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
995
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
996
997
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
998
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
999
1000
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1001
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1002
1003
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1004
matcher.
1005
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1006
1007
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1008
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1009
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1010
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1011
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1012
1013
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1014
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1015
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1016
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1017
1018
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1019
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1020
1021
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1022
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1023
1024
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1025
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1026
1027
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1038
1039
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1040
tree from a branch.
1041
(Daniel Silverstone)
1042
1043
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1044
operations are substantially faster.
1045
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1046
1047
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1048
tree from some other url. For example:
1049
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1050
(Daniel Silverstone)
1051
1052
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1053
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1054
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1055
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1056
1057
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1058
(Andrew Bennetts)
1059
1060
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1061
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1062
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1063
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1064
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1065
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1066
1067
INTERNALS:
1068
1069
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1070
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1071
(Martin Pool)
1072
1073
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1074
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1075
(John Arbash Meinel)
1076
1077
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1078
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1079
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1080
(John Arbash Meinel)
1081
1082
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1083
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1084
1085
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1086
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1087
1088
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1089
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1090
Bennetts)
1091
1092
BUG FIXES:
1093
1094
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1095
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1096
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1097
1098
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1099
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1100
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1101
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1102
1103
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1104
1105
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1106
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1107
1108
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1109
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1110
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1112
1113
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1114
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1115
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1116
1117
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1118
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1119
them as full references rather than integers.
1120
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1121
1122
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1123
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1124
1125
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1126
1127
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1128
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1129
1130
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1131
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1132
1133
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1134
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1135
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1136
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1137
1138
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1139
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1140
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1141
1142
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1143
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1144
1145
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1146
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1147
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1148
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1149
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1150
1151
TESTING:
1152
1153
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1154
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1155
1156
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1157
1158
INTERNALS:
1159
1160
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1161
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1162
(John Arbash Meinel)
1163
1164
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1165
1166
IMPROVEMENTS:
1167
1168
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1169
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1170
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1171
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1172
1173
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1174
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1175
1176
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1177
1178
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1179
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1180
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1181
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1182
1183
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1184
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1185
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1186
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1187
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1188
1189
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1190
1191
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1192
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1193
1194
INTERNALS:
1195
1196
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1197
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1198
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1199
1200
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1201
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1202
(John Arbash Meinel)
1203
1204
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1205
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1206
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1207
1208
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1209
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1210
(Aaron Bentley)
1211
1212
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1213
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1214
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1215
1216
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1217
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1218
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1219
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1220
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1221
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1222
1223
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1224
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1225
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1226
(Robert Collins)
1227
1228
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1229
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1230
1231
BUG FIXES:
1232
1233
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1234
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1235
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1236
#63360, #66349)
1237
1238
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1239
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1240
1241
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1242
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1243
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1244
1245
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1246
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1247
1248
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1249
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1250
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1251
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1252
1253
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1254
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1255
1256
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1257
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1258
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1259
1260
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1261
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1262
1263
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1264
1265
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1266
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1267
#32054)
1268
1269
TESTING:
1270
1271
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1272
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1273
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1274
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1275
1276
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1277
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1278
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1279
1280
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

1284
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1285
1286
BUG FIXES:
1287
1288
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1289
1290
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1291
Arbash Meinel).
1292
1293
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1294
1295
IMPROVEMENTS:
1296
1297
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1298
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1299
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1300
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1301
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1302
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1303
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1304
1305
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1306
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1307
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1308
1309
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1310
1311
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1312
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1313
1314
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1315
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1316
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1317
(Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1320
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1321
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1322
(John Arbash Meinel)
1323
1324
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1325
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1326
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1327
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1328
Pool)
1329
1330
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1331
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1332
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1333
(John Arbash Meinel)
1334
1335
BUG FIXES:
1336
1337
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1338
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1339
1340
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1341
1342
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1343
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1344
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1345
1346
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1347
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1348
1349
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1350
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1351
1352
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1354
1355
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1356
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1357
1358
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1359
1360
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1361
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1362
1363
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1364
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1365
1366
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1367
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1368
1369
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1370
(John Arbash Meinel)
1371
1372
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1373
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1374
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1375
1376
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1377
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1378
1379
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1380
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1381
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1382
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1383
1384
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1385
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1386
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1387
1388
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1389
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1390
1391
PORTABILITY:
1392
1393
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1394
1395
INTERNALS:
1396
1397
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1398
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1399
(John Arbash Meinel)
1400
1401
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1402
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1403
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1404
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1405
1406
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1407
(Andrew Bennetts)
1408
1409
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1410
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1411
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1412
1413
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1414
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1415
1416
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1417
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1418
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1419
1420
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1421
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1422
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1423
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1424
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1425
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1426
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1427
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1428
caller to repeat their request.
1429
(John Arbash Meinel)
1430
1431
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1432
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1433
1434
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1435
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1436
1437
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1438
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1439
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1440
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1441
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1442
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1443
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1444
1445
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1446
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1447
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1448
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1449
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1450
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1451
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1452
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1453
(Robert Collins)
1454
1455
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1456
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1457
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1458
1459
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1460
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1461
1462
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1463
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1464
1465
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1466
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1467
1468
TESTING:
1469
1470
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1471
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1472
1473
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1474
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1475
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1476
1477
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1478
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1479
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1480
1481
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1482
1483
IMPROVEMENTS:
1484
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1485
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1486
1487
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1488
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1489
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1490
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1491
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1492
1493
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1494
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1495
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1496
1497
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1498
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1499
1500
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1501
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1502
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1503
1504
BUG FIXES:
1505
1506
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1507
1508
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1509
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1510
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1511
1512
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1513
1514
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1515
1516
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1517
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1518
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1519
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1520
1521
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1522
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1523
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1524
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1525
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1526
1527
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1528
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1529
1530
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1531
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1532
1533
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1534
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1535
1536
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1537
in handling of revision properties.
1538
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1539
1540
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1541
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1542
1543
INTERNALS:
1544
1545
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1546
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1547
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1548
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1549
(John Arbash Meinel)
1550
1551
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1552
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1553
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1554
1555
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1556
1557
SURPRISES:
1558
1559
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1560
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1561
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1562
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1563
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1564
a more conservative list than the old default.
1565
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1566
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1567
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1568
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1569
1570
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1571
to more locations than just branch locations.
1572
(Aaron Bentley)
1573
1574
IMPROVEMENTS:
1575
1576
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1577
revno:N:branch. For example,
1578
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1579
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1580
1581
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1582
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1583
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1584
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1585
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1586
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1587
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1588
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1589
#42517, #42514)
1590
1591
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1592
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1593
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1594
(Malone #3507)
1595
1596
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1597
(Alexander Belchenko)
1598
1599
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1600
1601
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1602
(Robert Collins).
1603
1604
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1605
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1606
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1607
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1608
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1609
(John Arbash Meinel)
1610
1611
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1612
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1613
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1614
grained analysis of performance.
1615
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1616
1617
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1618
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1619
1620
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1621
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1622
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1623
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1624
file. (Robert Collins).
1625
1626
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1627
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1628
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1629
1630
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1631
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1632
Matthieu Moy)
1633
1634
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1635
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1636
1637
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1638
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1639
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1640
the same way you would apply another branch.
1641
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1642
1643
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1644
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1645
1646
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1647
(Michael Ellerman)
1648
1649
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1650
(Aaron Bentley)
1651
1652
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1653
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1654
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1655
1656
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1657
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1658
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1659
1660
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1661
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1662
1663
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1664
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1665
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1666
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1667
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1668
1669
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1670
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1671
1672
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1673
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1674
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1675
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1676
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1677
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1678
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1679
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1680
1681
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1682
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1683
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1684
1685
BUG FIXES:
1686
1687
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1688
tests not to run.
1689
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1690
1691
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1692
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1693
1694
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1695
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1696
1697
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1698
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1699
1700
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1701
1702
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1703
(John Arbash Meinel)
1704
1705
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1706
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1707
1708
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1709
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1710
and y.
1711
1712
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1713
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1714
1715
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1716
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1717
1718
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1719
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1720
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1721
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1722
1723
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1724
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1725
1726
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1727
1728
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1729
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1730
1731
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1732
1733
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1734
1735
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1736
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1737
1738
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1739
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1740
1741
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1742
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1743
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1744
1745
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1746
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1747
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1748
1749
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1750
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1751
1752
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1753
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1754
1755
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1756
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1757
1758
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1759
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1760
1761
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1762
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1763
1764
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1765
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1766
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1767
1768
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1769
1770
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1771
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1772
1773
INTERNALS:
1774
1775
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1776
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1777
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1778
1779
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1780
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1781
1782
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1783
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1784
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1785
1786
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1787
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1788
1789
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1790
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1791
(Martin Pool)
1792
1793
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1794
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1795
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1796
1797
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1798
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1799
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1800
1801
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1802
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1803
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1804
1805
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1806
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1807
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1808
1809
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1810
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1811
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1812
1813
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1814
instead. (Robert Collins)
1815
1816
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1829
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1830
1831
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1832
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1833
1834
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1835
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

1846
1847
CHANGES:
1848
1849
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1850
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1851
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1852
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1853
1854
NEW FEATURES:
1855
1856
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1857
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1858
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1859
1860
INTERNALS:
1861
1862
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1863
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1864
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1865
1866
TESTING:
1867
1868
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1869
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

1871
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1872
1873
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1874
1875
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1876
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1877
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1878
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1879
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1880
will keep the same format.
1881
1882
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1883
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1884
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1885
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1886
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1887
1888
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1889
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1890
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1891
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1892
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1893
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1894
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1895
1896
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1897
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1898
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1899
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1900
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1901
1902
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1903
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1904
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1905
arrangement.
1906
1907
1908
IMPROVEMENTS:
1909
1910
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1911
convention. Paths now take the form::
1912
1913
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1914
or
1915
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1916
1917
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1918
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1919
1920
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1921
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1922
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1923
1924
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1925
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1926
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1927
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1928
1929
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1930
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1931
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1932
1933
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1934
1935
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1936
1937
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1938
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1939
commits::
1940
1941
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1942
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1943
| xargs bzr re-sign
1944
1945
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1946
1947
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1948
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1949
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1950
(Robert Collins)
1951
1952
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1953
1954
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1955
1956
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1957
'.moved'.
1958
1959
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1960
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1961
1962
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1963
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1964
Daniel Silverstone)
1965
1966
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1967
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1968
Martin Pool)
1969
1970
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1971
1972
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1973
1974
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1975
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1976
1977
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1978
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1979
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1980
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1981
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1982
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1983
1984
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1985
1986
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1987
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1988
(Robert Collins)
1989
1990
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1991
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1992
1993
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1994
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1995
1996
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1997
1998
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1999
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2000
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2001
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2002
specification by Martin Pool.
2003
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2004
2005
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2006
Belchenko)
2007
2008
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2009
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2010
2011
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2012
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2013
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2014
2015
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2016
2017
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2018
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2019
(Robert Collins)
2020
2021
CHANGES:
2022
2023
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2024
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2025
2026
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2027
2028
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2029
2030
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2031
(Olaf Conradi)
2032
2033
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2034
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2035
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2036
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2037
2038
INTERNALS:
2039
2040
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2041
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2042
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2043
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2044
2045
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2046
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2047
tried. (Martin Pool)
2048
2049
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2050
(Martin Pool)
2051
2052
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2053
2054
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2055
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2056
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2057
2058
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2059
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2060
2061
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2062
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2063
paths. (Robert Collins)
2064
2065
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2066
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2067
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2068
2069
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2070
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2071
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2072
2073
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2074
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2075
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2076
2077
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2078
(Olaf Conradi)
2079
2080
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2081
(Olaf Conradi)
2082
2083
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2084
2085
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2086
2087
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2088
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2089
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2090
(Robert Collins)
2091
2092
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2093
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2094
2095
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2096
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2097
check. (Robert Collins)
2098
2099
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2100
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2101
2102
TESTING:
2103
2104
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2105
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2106
2107
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2108
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2109
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2110
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2111
2112
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2113
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2114
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2115
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2116
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2117
2118
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2119
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2120
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2121
2122
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2123
2124
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2125
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

2129
CHANGES:
2130
2131
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2132
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2133
2134
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2135
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2136
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2137
(Johan Rydberg)
2138
2139
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2140
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2141
2142
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2143
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2144
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2145
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2146
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2147
2148
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2149
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2150
used. (Robert Collins)
2151
2152
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2153
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2154
(James Henstridge)
2155
2156
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2157
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2158
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2159
2160
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2161
ignore list.
2162
2163
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2164
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2165
2166
IMPROVEMENTS:
2167
2168
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2169
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2170
2171
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2172
2173
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2174
2175
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2176
tree. (Robert Collins)
2177
2178
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2179
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2180
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2181
(Robert Collins)
2182
2183
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2184
that they be kept.
2185
2186
* Tweaks to short log printing
2187
2188
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2189
(Aaron Bentley)
2190
2191
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2192
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2193
2194
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2195
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2196
2197
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2198
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2199
2200
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2201
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2202
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2203
2204
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2205
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2206
2207
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2208
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2209
requests.
2210
2211
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2212
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2213
2214
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2215
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2216
2217
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2218
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2219
2220
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2221
(Denys Duchier)
2222
2223
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2224
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2225
2226
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2227
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2228
2229
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2230
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2231
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2232
2233
BUG FIXES:
2234
2235
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2236
2237
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2238
2239
* Error when run with -OO
2240
2241
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2242
(Martin Pool)
2243
2244
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2245
2246
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2247
2248
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2249
ignored by diff and status
2250
2251
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2252
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2253
2254
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2255
2256
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2257
2258
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2259
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2260
2261
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2262
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2263
2264
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.

* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2268
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2269
2270
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2271
2272
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2273
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2274
2275
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2276
(Martin Pool)
2277
2278
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2279
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2280
2281
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2282
2283
TESTING:
2284
2285
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2286
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2287
2288
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2289
2290
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2291
2292
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2293
2294
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2295
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2296
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2297
2298
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2299
2300
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2301
(John Arbash Meinel)
2302
2303
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2304
2305
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2306
If adding a new test script please add that to
2307
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2308
2309
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2310
imported. (Martin Pool)
2311
2312
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2313
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2314
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2315
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2316
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2317
(Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2320
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2321
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2322
2323
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2324
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2325
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2326
2327
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2328
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2329
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2330
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2331
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2332
(Robert Collins).
2333
2334
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2335
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2336
(Robert Collins).
2337
2338
INTERNALS:
2339
2340
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2341
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2342
2343
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2344
function. (Robert Collins)
2345
2346
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2347
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2348
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2349
2350
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2351
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2352
(Robert Collins)
2353
2354
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2355
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2356
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2357
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2358
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2359
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2360
version. (Robert Collins)
2361
2362
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2363
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2364
2365
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2366
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2367
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2368
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2369
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2370
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2371
2372
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2373
(Robert Collins)
2374
2375
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2376
2377
add()
2378
commit()
2379
move()
2380
rename_one()
2381
unknowns()
2382
2383
(Robert Collins)
2384
2385
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2386
2387
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2388
2389
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2390
Pool)
2391
2392
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2393
query method. (Robert Collins)
2394
2395
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2396
(Denys Duchier)
2397
2398
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2399
(Michael Ellerman)
2400
2401
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2402
(Michael Ellerman)
2403
2404
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2405
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2406
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2407
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2408
2409
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2410
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2411
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2412
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2413
2414
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2415
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2416
2417
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28

2419
IMPROVEMENTS:
2420
2421
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2422
(John A Meinel)
2423
2424
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2425
conflicts.
2426
(Aaron Bentley)
2427
2428
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2429
a separator, not ':'.
2430
(Aaron Bentley)
2431
2432
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2433
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2434
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2435
2436
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2437
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2438
(Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2441
has been added that suppresses all output.
2442
2443
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2444
Adams.
2445
2446
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2447
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2448
2449
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2450
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2451
2452
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2453
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2454
2455
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2456
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2457
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2458
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2459
2460
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2461
2462
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2463
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2464
2465
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2466
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2467
2468
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2469
output directory, if one was supplied.
2470
2471
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2472
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2473
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2474
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2475
2476
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2477
2478
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2479
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2480
2481
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2482
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2483
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2484
2485
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2486
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2489
(Aaron Bentley)
2490
2491
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2492
2493
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2494
2495
TESTING:
2496
2497
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2498
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2499
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2500
2501
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2502
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2503
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2504
2505
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2506
is given. (Martin Pool)
2507
2508
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2509
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2510
file. (Robert Collins)
2511
2512
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2513
(Martin Pool)
2514
2515
INTERNALS:
2516
2517
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2518
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2519
representation. (Martin Pool).
2520
2521
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2522
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2523
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2524
2525
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2526
(Robert Collins)
2527
2528
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2529
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2530
Magnus Therning.
2531
2532
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2533
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2534
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2535
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2536
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2537
2538
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2539
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2540
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2541
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2542
python path. (Robert Collins)
2543
2544
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2545
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2546
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2547
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2550
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2551
2552
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2553
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2554
(Robert Collins)
2555
2556
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2557
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2558
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2559
2560
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2561
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2562
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2563
2564
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2565
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2566
2567
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2568
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2569
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2570
(Robert Collins)
2571
2572
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2573
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2574
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2575
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2576
(Robert Collins)
2577
2578
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2579
(Robert Collins)
2580
2581
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2582
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2583
(Robert Collins)
2584
2585
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2586
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2587
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2588
2589
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2590
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2591
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2592
2593
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2594
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2595
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2598
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2599
2600
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2601
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2602
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2603
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2604
caller. (Robert Collins)
2605
2606
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2607
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2608
(Robert Collins).
2609
2610
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2611
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2612
(Aaron Bentley)
2613
2614
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2615
2616
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2617
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2618
2619
BUG FIXES:
2620
2621
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2622
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2623
2624
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2625
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2626
2627
2628
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2629
2630
BUG FIXES:
2631
2632
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2633
allow directories to be listed.
2634
2635
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2636
upgrading branch format.
2637
2638
PERFORMANCE:
2639
2640
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2641
2642
2643
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2644
2645
NOTES:
2646
2647
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2648
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2649
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2650
high-latency connections.
2651
2652
BUG FIXES:
2653
2654
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2655
Rob Weir.
2656
2657
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2658
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2659
2660
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2661
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2662
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2663
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2664
2665
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2666
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2667
2668
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2669
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2670
2671
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2672
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2673
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2674
2675
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2676
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2677
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2678
Robert Collins
2679
2680
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2681
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2682
2683
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2684
different partial views of history.
2685
2686
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2687
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2688
2689
IMPROVEMENTS:
2690
2691
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2692
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2693
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2694
2695
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2696
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2697
'bzr upgrade'.
2698
2699
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2700
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2701
2702
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2703
Niemeyer.
2704
2705
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2706
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2707
2708
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2709
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2710
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2711
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2712
2713
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2714
2715
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2716
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2717
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2718
2719
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2720
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2721
2722
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2723
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2724
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2725
2726
2727
INTERNALS:
2728
2729
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2730
for your viewing pleasure.
2731
2732
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2733
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2734
2735
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2736
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2737
handling of such circumstances.
2738
2739
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2740
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2741
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2742
2743
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2744
2745
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2746
we call them revisions not patches.
2747
2748
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2749
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2750
2751
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2752
giving the revision *of that file*.
2753
2754
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2755
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2756
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2757
2758
TESTING:
2759
2760
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2761
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2762
2763
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2764
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2765
2766
2767
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2768
2769
BUG FIXES:
2770
2771
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2772
2773
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2774
(Robert Collins).
2775
2776
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2777
2778
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2779
2780
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2781
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2782
2783
IMPROVEMENTS:
2784
2785
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2786
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2787
2788
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2789
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2790
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2791
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2792
Robey Pointer
2793
2794
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2795
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2796
2797
INTERNALS:
2798
2799
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2800
2801
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2802
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2803
2804
2805
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2806
2807
IMPROVEMENTS:
2808
2809
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2810
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2811
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2812
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2813
Michael Ellerman.
2814
2815
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2816
(Nir Soffer)
2817
2818
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2819
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2820
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2821
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2822
for the operating system is still tried.
2823
2824
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2825
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2826
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2827
2828
2829
INTERNALS:
2830
2831
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2832
2833
BUG FIXES:
2834
2835
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2836
2837
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2838
branch.
2839
2840
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2841
read.
2842
2843
2844
PORTABILITY:
2845
2846
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2847
2848
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2849
2850
2851
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2852
2853
NEW FEATURES:
2854
2855
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2856
help with intelligent shell completion.
2857
2858
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2859
2860
2861
ENHANCEMENTS:
2862
2863
* Much better merge support.
2864
2865
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2866
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2867
like emacs smerge.
2868
2869
2870
BUG FIXES:
2871
2872
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2873
mention revisions that are not present.
2874
2875
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2876
2877
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2878
2879
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2880
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2881
2882
2883
CHANGES:
2884
2885
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2886
2887
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2888
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2889
--help themselves.
2890
2891
2892
LIBRARY:
2893
2894
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2895
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2896
libraries.
2897
2898
2899
2900
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2901
2902
NEW FEATURES:
2903
2904
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2905
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2906
2907
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2908
2909
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2910
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2911
2912
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2913
FOO.
2914
2915
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2916
2917
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2918
the Unix command.
2919
2920
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2921
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2922
2923
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2924
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2925
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2926
2927
2928
ENHANCEMENTS:
2929
2930
* Faster working tree operations.
2931
2932
2933
CHANGES:
2934
2935
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2936
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2937
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2938
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2939
2940
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2941
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2942
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2943
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2944
standard plugins directory.
2945
2946
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2947
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2948
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2949
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2950
2951
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2952
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2953
2954
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2955
disk.
2956
2957
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2958
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2959
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2960
2961
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2962
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2963
2964
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2965
line options must come before the command name because they
2966
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2967
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2968
it.
2969
2970
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2971
2972
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2973
is available with ``--short``.
2974
2975
2976
BUG FIXES:
2977
2978
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2979
2980
2981
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2982
2983
CHANGES:
2984
2985
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2986
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2987
2988
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2989
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2990
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2991
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2992
2993
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2994
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2995
with the ``--forward`` option.
2996
2997
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2998
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2999
field.
3000
3001
3002
ENHANCEMENTS:
3003
3004
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3005
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3006
3007
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3008
3009
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3010
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3011
3012
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3013
3014
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3015
either read or write mode.
3016
3017
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3018
3019
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3020
affected that file.
3021
3022
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3023
3024
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3025
suggested by LarstiQ.
3026
3027
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3028
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3029
3030
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3031
a filename.
3032
3033
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3034
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3035
3036
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3037
haven't changed since the previous time.
3038
3039
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3040
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3041
3042
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3043
3044
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3045
3046
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3047
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3048
3049
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3050
options through to an external GNU diff.
3051
3052
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3053
their contents.
3054
3055
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3056
from a branch.
3057
3058
3059
BUG FIXES:
3060
3061
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3062
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3063
3064
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3065
metacharacters.
3066
3067
3068
TESTING:
3069
3070
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3071
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3072
the tests.
3073
3074
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3075
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3076
3077
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3078
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3079
3080
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3081
under a different version.
3082
3083
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3084
3085
3086
INTERNAL:
3087
3088
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3089
3090
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3091
Scott James Remnant.
3092
3093
* Better help messages for many commands.
3094
3095
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3096
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3097
3098
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3099
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3100
3101
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3102
3103
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3104
3105
* New AtomicFile class.
3106
3107
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3108
3109
3110
PORTABILITY:
3111
3112
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3113
2.4 is now only recommended.
3114
3115
3116
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3117
3118
ENHANCEMENTS:
3119
3120
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3121
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3122
3123
* More default ignore patterns.
3124
3125
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3126
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3127
3128
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3129
3130
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3131
by Jason Diamon.
3132
3133
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3134
3135
3136
CHANGES:
3137
3138
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3139
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3140
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3141
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3142
there are DNS problems.
3143
3144
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3145
3146
3147
BUG FIXES:
3148
3149
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3150
3151
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3152
3153
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3154
trailing newlines properly.
3155
3156
3157
INTERNAL:
3158
3159
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3160
Matt Brubeck.
3161
3162
* More tests in test.sh.
3163
3164
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3165
directory and delete it when done.
3166
3167
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3168
3169
3170
PORTABILITY:
3171
3172
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3173
Bennetts.
3174
3175
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3176
from QuantumG.
3177
3178
3179
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3180
3181
ENHANCEMENTS:
3182
3183
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3184
in the tree.
3185
3186
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3187
3188
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3189
and/or directory.
3190
3191
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3192
directory.
3193
3194
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3195
3196
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3197
3198
CHANGES:
3199
3200
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3201
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3202
will do for now.)
3203
3204
PORTABILITY:
3205
3206
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3207
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3208
Nielsen.
3209
3210
INTERNAL:
3211
3212
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3213
3214
TESTING:
3215
3216
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3217
3218
3219
bzr-0.0.2.1

3224
3225
3226
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3227
3228
ENHANCEMENTS:
3229
3230
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3231
3232
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3233
rather than replacing it.
3234
3235
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3236
3237
* More help topics.
3238
3239
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3240
branch.
3241
3242
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3243
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3244
3245
* Performance improvements.
3246
3247
* New global --profile option.
3248
3249
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3250
the root directory only.
3251
3252
3253
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3254
3255
ENHANCEMENTS:
3256
3257
* More information from info command.
3258
3259
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3260
3261
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3262
committing to stores.
3263
3264
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3265
3266
BUG FIXES:
3267
3268
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3269
3270
PORTABILITY:
3271
3272
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3273
installation easier.
3274
3275
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3276
supported).
3277
3278
3279
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3280
3281
ENHANCEMENTS:
3282
3283
* First public release.
3284
3285
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
3286
diff, status, etc.
