IN DEVELOPMENT
2
3
IMPROVEMENTS:
4
5
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
6
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
10
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
11
12
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
13
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
14
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
15
16
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
17
(Elliot Murphy)
18
19
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
20
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
21
22
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
23
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
24
25
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
26
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
27
28
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
29
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
30
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
31
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
32
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
33
34
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
35
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
36
(Ian Clatworthy)
37
38
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
39
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
40
41
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
42
output. (Aaron Bentley)
43
44
TESTING:
45
46
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
47
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
48
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
49
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

54
BUGFIXES:
55
56
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
57
(Colin Watson, #120647)
58
59
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
60
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

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

CHANGES:
526
527
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
528
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
529
(Martin Pool)
530
531
IMPROVEMENTS:
532
533
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
534
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
535
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
536
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
537
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
538
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
539
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
540
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
541
path. (vila)
542
543
INTERNALS:
544
545
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
546
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
547
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
548
549
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
550
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
551
(Martin Pool)
552
553
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
554
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
555
(John Arbash Meinel)
556
557
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
558
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
559
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
560
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
561
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
562
563
BUGFIXES:
564
565
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
566
(vila, #92195)
567
568
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
569
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
570
571
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
572
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
573
574
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
575
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
576
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
577
578
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
579
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
580
581
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
582
last-changed-revision for directories. The
583
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
584
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
585
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
586
587
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
588
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
589
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
590
591
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

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

816
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
817
818
BUGFIXES:
819
820
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
821
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
822
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
823
824
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
825
(Aaron Bentley)
826
827
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
828
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
829
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
830
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
831
832
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
833
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
834
#83954).
835
836
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
837
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
838
839
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
840

* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
842
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.

(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
844
845
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
846
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
847
848
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)

available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
878
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
879
880
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's

882
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
886
887
IMPROVEMENTS:
888
889
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
890
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
891
server, then you can write over the http connection.
892
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
893
894
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
895
(Marius Kruger)
896
897
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
898
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
899
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
900
901
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
902
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
903
904
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
905
(Aaron Bentley)
906
907
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
908
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
909
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
910
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
911
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
912
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
913
914
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
915
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
916
should enable you to do::
917
918
[/home/user/project]
919
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
920
push_location:policy = appendpath
921
922
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
923
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
924
(James Henstridge)
925
926
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
927
for each file. For example::
928
929
$ bzr status --short
930
A foo
931
A bar
932
D baz
933
? wooley
934
935
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
936
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
937
938
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
939
940
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
941
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
942
943
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
944
945
INTERNALS:
946
947
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
948
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
949
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
950
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
951
952
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
953
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
954
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
955
956
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
957
958
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
959
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
960
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
961
(Alexander Belchenko)
962
963
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
964
Pool)
965
966
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
967
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
968
969
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
970
971
BUG FIXES:
972
973
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
974
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
975
976
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
977
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
978
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
979
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
980
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
981
982
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
983
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
984
985
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
986
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
987
988
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
989
matcher.
990
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
991
992
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
993
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
994
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
995
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
996
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
997
998
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
999
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1000
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1001
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1002
1003
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1004
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1005
1006
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1007
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1008
1009
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1010
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1011
1012
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1023
1024
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1025
tree from a branch.
1026
(Daniel Silverstone)
1027
1028
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1029
operations are substantially faster.
1030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1031
1032
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1033
tree from some other url. For example:
1034
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1035
(Daniel Silverstone)
1036
1037
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1038
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1039
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1040
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1041
1042
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1043
(Andrew Bennetts)
1044
1045
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1046
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1047
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1048
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1049
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1050
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1051
1052
INTERNALS:
1053
1054
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1055
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1056
(Martin Pool)
1057
1058
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1059
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1060
(John Arbash Meinel)
1061
1062
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1063
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1064
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1065
(John Arbash Meinel)
1066
1067
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1068
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1069
1070
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1071
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1072
1073
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1074
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1075
Bennetts)
1076
1077
BUG FIXES:
1078
1079
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1080
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1081
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1082
1083
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1084
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1085
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1086
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1087
1088
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1089
1090
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1091
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1092
1093
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1094
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1095
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1096
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1097
1098
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1099
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1100
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1101
1102
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1103
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1104
them as full references rather than integers.
1105
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1106
1107
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1108
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1109
1110
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1111
1112
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1113
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1114
1115
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1116
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1117
1118
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1119
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1120
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1121
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1122
1123
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1124
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1125
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1126
1127
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1128
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1129
1130
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1131
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1132
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1133
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1134
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1135
1136
TESTING:
1137
1138
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1139
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1140
1141
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1142
1143
INTERNALS:
1144
1145
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1146
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1147
(John Arbash Meinel)
1148
1149
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1150
1151
IMPROVEMENTS:
1152
1153
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1154
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1155
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1156
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1157
1158
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1159
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1160
1161
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1162
1163
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1164
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1165
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1166
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1167
1168
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1169
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1170
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1171
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1172
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1173
1174
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1175
1176
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1177
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1178
1179
INTERNALS:
1180
1181
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1182
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1183
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1184
1185
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1186
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1187
(John Arbash Meinel)
1188
1189
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1190
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1191
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1192
1193
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1194
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1195
(Aaron Bentley)
1196
1197
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1198
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1199
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1200
1201
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1202
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1203
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1204
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1205
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1206
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1207
1208
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1209
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1210
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1211
(Robert Collins)
1212
1213
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1214
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1215
1216
BUG FIXES:
1217
1218
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1219
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1220
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1221
#63360, #66349)
1222
1223
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1224
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1225
1226
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1227
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1228
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1229
1230
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1231
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1232
1233
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1234
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1235
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1236
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1237
1238
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1239
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1240
1241
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1242
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1243
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1244
1245
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1246
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1247
1248
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1249
1250
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1251
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1252
#32054)
1253
1254
TESTING:
1255
1256
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1257
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1258
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1259
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1260
1261
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1262
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1263
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1264
1265
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
1266
1267
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1268
1269
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1270
1271
BUG FIXES:
1272
1273
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1274
1275
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1276
Arbash Meinel).
1277
1278
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1279
1280
IMPROVEMENTS:
1281
1282
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1283
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1284
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1285
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1286
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1287
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1288
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1289
1290
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1291
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1292
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1293
1294
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1295
1296
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1297
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1298
1299
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1300
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1301
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1302
(Robert Collins)
1303
1304
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1305
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1306
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1307
(John Arbash Meinel)
1308
1309
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1310
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1311
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1312
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1313
Pool)
1314
1315
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1316
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1317
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1318
(John Arbash Meinel)
1319
1320
BUG FIXES:
1321
1322
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1323
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1324
1325
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1326
1327
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1328
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1329
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1330
1331
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1332
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1333
1334
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1335
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1336
1337
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1339
1340
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1341
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1342
1343
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1344
1345
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1346
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1347
1348
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1349
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1350
1351
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1352
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1353
1354
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1355
(John Arbash Meinel)
1356
1357
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1358
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1359
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1360
1361
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1362
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1363
1364
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1365
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1366
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1367
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1368
1369
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1370
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1371
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1372
1373
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1374
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1375
1376
PORTABILITY:
1377
1378
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1379
1380
INTERNALS:
1381
1382
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1383
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1384
(John Arbash Meinel)
1385
1386
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1387
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1388
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1389
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1390
1391
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1392
(Andrew Bennetts)
1393
1394
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1395
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1396
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1397
1398
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1399
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1400
1401
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1402
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1403
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1404
1405
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1406
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1407
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1408
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1409
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1410
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1411
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1412
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1413
caller to repeat their request.
1414
(John Arbash Meinel)
1415
1416
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1417
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1418
1419
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1420
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1421
1422
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1423
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1424
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1425
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1426
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1427
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1428
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1429
1430
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1431
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1432
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1433
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1434
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1435
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1436
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1437
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1438
(Robert Collins)
1439
1440
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1441
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1442
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1443
1444
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1445
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1446
1447
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1448
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1449
1450
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1451
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1452
1453
TESTING:
1454
1455
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1456
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1457
1458
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1459
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1460
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1461
1462
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1463
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1464
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1465
1466
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1467
1468
IMPROVEMENTS:
1469
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1470
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1471
1472
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1473
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1474
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1475
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1476
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1477
1478
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1479
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1480
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1481
1482
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1483
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1484
1485
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1486
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1487
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1488
1489
BUG FIXES:
1490
1491
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1492
1493
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1494
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1495
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1496
1497
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1498
1499
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1500
1501
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1502
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1503
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1504
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1505
1506
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1507
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1508
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1509
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1510
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1511
1512
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1513
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1514
1515
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1516
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1517
1518
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1519
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1520
1521
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1522
in handling of revision properties.
1523
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1524
1525
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1526
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1527
1528
INTERNALS:
1529
1530
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1531
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1532
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1533
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1534
(John Arbash Meinel)
1535
1536
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1537
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1538
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1539
1540
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1541
1542
SURPRISES:
1543
1544
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1545
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1546
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1547
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1548
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1549
a more conservative list than the old default.
1550
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1551
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1552
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1553
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1554
1555
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1556
to more locations than just branch locations.
1557
(Aaron Bentley)
1558
1559
IMPROVEMENTS:
1560
1561
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1562
revno:N:branch. For example,
1563
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1564
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1565
1566
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1567
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1568
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1569
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1570
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1571
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1572
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1573
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1574
#42517, #42514)
1575
1576
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1577
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1578
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1579
(Malone #3507)
1580
1581
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1582
(Alexander Belchenko)
1583
1584
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1585
1586
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1587
(Robert Collins).
1588
1589
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1590
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1591
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1592
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1593
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1594
(John Arbash Meinel)
1595
1596
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1597
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1598
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1599
grained analysis of performance.
1600
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1601
1602
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1603
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1604
1605
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1606
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1607
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1608
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1609
file. (Robert Collins).
1610
1611
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1612
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1613
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1614
1615
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1616
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1617
Matthieu Moy)
1618
1619
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1620
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1621
1622
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1623
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1624
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1625
the same way you would apply another branch.
1626
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1627
1628
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1629
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1630
1631
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1632
(Michael Ellerman)
1633
1634
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1635
(Aaron Bentley)
1636
1637
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1638
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1639
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1640
1641
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1642
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1643
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1644
1645
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1646
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1647
1648
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1649
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1650
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1651
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1652
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1653
1654
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1655
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1656
1657
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1658
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1659
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1660
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1661
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1662
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1663
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1664
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1665
1666
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1667
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1668
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1669
1670
BUG FIXES:
1671
1672
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1673
tests not to run.
1674
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1675
1676
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1677
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1678
1679
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1680
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1681
1682
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1683
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1684
1685
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1686
1687
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1688
(John Arbash Meinel)
1689
1690
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1691
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1692
1693
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1694
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1695
and y.
1696
1697
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1698
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1699
1700
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1701
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1702
1703
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1704
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1705
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1706
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1707
1708
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1709
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1710
1711
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1712
1713
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1714
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1715
1716
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1717
1718
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1719
1720
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1721
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1722
1723
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1724
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1725
1726
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1727
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1728
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1729
1730
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1731
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1732
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1733
1734
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1735
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1736
1737
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1738
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1739
1740
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1741
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1742
1743
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1744
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1745
1746
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1747
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1748
1749
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1750
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1751
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1752
1753
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1754
1755
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1756
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1757
1758
INTERNALS:
1759
1760
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1761
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1762
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1763
1764
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1765
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1766
1767
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1768
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1769
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1770
1771
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1772
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1773
1774
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1775
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1776
(Martin Pool)
1777
1778
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1779
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1780
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1781
1782
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1783
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1784
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)

1838
1839
NEW FEATURES:
1840
1841
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1857
1858
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1859
1860
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1861
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1862
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1863
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1864
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1865
will keep the same format.
1866
1867
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1868
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1869
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1870
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1871
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1872
1873
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1874
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1875
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1876
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1877
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1878
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1879
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1880
1881
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1882
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1883
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1884
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1885
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1886
1887
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1888
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1889
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1890
arrangement.
1891
1892
1893
IMPROVEMENTS:
1894
1895
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1896
convention. Paths now take the form::
1897
1898
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1899
or
1900
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1901
1902
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1903
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1904
1905
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1906
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1907
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1908
1909
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1910
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1911
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1912
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1913
1914
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1915
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1916
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1917
1918
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1919
1920
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1921
1922
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1923
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1924
commits::
1925
1926
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1927
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1928
| xargs bzr re-sign
1929
1930
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1931
1932
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1933
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1934
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1935
(Robert Collins)
1936
1937
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1938
1939
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1940
1941
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1942
'.moved'.
1943
1944
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1945
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1946
1947
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1948
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1949
Daniel Silverstone)
1950
1951
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1952
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1953
Martin Pool)
1954
1955
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1956
1957
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1958
1959
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1960
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1961
1962
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1963
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1964
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1965
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1966
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1967
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1968
1969
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1970
1971
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1972
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1973
(Robert Collins)
1974
1975
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1976
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1977
1978
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1979
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1980
1981
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1982
1983
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1984
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1985
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1986
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1987
specification by Martin Pool.
1988
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1989
1990
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1991
Belchenko)
1992
1993
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1994
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1995
1996
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1997
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1998
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1999
2000
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2001
2002
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2003
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2004
(Robert Collins)
2005
2006
CHANGES:
2007
2008
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2009
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2010
2011
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2012
2013
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2014
2015
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2016
(Olaf Conradi)
2017
2018
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2019
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2020
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2021
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2022
2023
INTERNALS:
2024
2025
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2026
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2027
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2028
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2029
2030
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2031
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2032
tried. (Martin Pool)
2033
2034
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2035
(Martin Pool)
2036
2037
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2038
2039
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2040
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2041
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2042
2043
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2044
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2045
2046
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2047
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2048
paths. (Robert Collins)
2049
2050
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2051
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2052
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2053
2054
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2055
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2056
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2057
2058
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2059
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2060
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2061
2062
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2063
(Olaf Conradi)
2064
2065
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2066
(Olaf Conradi)
2067
2068
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2069
2070
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2071
2072
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2073
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2074
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2075
(Robert Collins)
2076
2077
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2078
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2079
2080
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2081
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2082
check. (Robert Collins)
2083
2084
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2085
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2086
2087
TESTING:
2088
2089
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2090
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2091
2092
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2093
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2094
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2095
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2096
2097
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2098
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2099
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2100
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2101
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2102
2103
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2104
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2105
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2106
2107
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2108
2109
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2110
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2113
2114
CHANGES:
2115
2116
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2117
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2118
2119
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2120
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2121
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2122
(Johan Rydberg)
2123
2124
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2125
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2126
2127
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2128
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2129
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2130
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2131
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2132
2133
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2134
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2135
used. (Robert Collins)
2136
2137
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2138
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2139
(James Henstridge)
2140
2141
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2142
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2143
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2144
2145
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2146
ignore list.
2147
2148
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2149
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2150
2151
IMPROVEMENTS:
2152
2153
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2154
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2155
2156
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2157
2158
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2159
2160
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2161
tree. (Robert Collins)
2162
2163
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2164
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2165
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2166
(Robert Collins)
2167
2168
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2169
that they be kept.
2170
2171
* Tweaks to short log printing
2172
2173
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2174
(Aaron Bentley)
2175
2176
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2177
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2178
2179
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2180
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2181
2182
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2183
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2184
2185
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2186
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2187
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2188
2189
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2190
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2191
2192
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2193
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2194
requests.
2195
2196
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2197
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2198
2199
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2200
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2201
2202
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2203
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2204
2205
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2206
(Denys Duchier)
2207
2208
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2209
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2210
2211
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2212
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2213
2214
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2215
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2216
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2217
2218
BUG FIXES:
2219
2220
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2221
2222
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2223
2224
* Error when run with -OO
2225
2226
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2227
(Martin Pool)
2228
2229
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2230
2231
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2232
2233
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2234
ignored by diff and status
2235
2236
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2237
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2238
2239
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2240
2241
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2242
2243
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2244
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2245
2246
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2247
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2248
2249
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2250
(Harald Meland)
2251
2252
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2253
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2254
2255
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2256
2257
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2258
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2259
2260
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2261
(Martin Pool)
2262
2263
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2264
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2265
2266
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2267
2268
TESTING:
2269
2270
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2271
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2272
2273
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2274
2275
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2276
2277
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2278
2279
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2280
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2281
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2282
2283
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2284
2285
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2286
(John Arbash Meinel)
2287
2288
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2289
2290
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2291
If adding a new test script please add that to
2292
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2293
2294
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2295
imported. (Martin Pool)
2296
2297
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2298
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2299
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2300
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2301
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2302
(Robert Collins)
2303
2304
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2305
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2306
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2307
2308
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2309
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2310
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2311
2312
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2313
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2314
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2315
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2316
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2317
(Robert Collins).
2318
2319
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2320
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2321
(Robert Collins).
2322
2323
INTERNALS:
2324
2325
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2326
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2327
2328
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2329
function. (Robert Collins)
2330
2331
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2332
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2333
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2334
2335
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2336
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2337
(Robert Collins)
2338
2339
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2340
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2341
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2342
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2343
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2344
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2345
version. (Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2348
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2349
2350
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2351
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2352
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2353
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2354
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2355
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2358
(Robert Collins)
2359
2360
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2361
2362
add()
2363
commit()
2364
move()
2365
rename_one()
2366
unknowns()
2367
2368
(Robert Collins)
2369
2370
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2371
2372
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2373
2374
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2375
Pool)
2376
2377
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2378
query method. (Robert Collins)
2379
2380
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2381
(Denys Duchier)
2382
2383
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2384
(Michael Ellerman)
2385
2386
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2387
(Michael Ellerman)
2388
2389
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2390
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2391
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2392
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2393
2394
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2395
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2396
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2397
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2398
2399
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2400
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2401
2402
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
2403
2404
IMPROVEMENTS:
2405
2406
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2407
(John A Meinel)
2408
2409
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2410
conflicts.
2411
(Aaron Bentley)
2412
2413
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2414
a separator, not ':'.
2415
(Aaron Bentley)
2416
2417
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2418
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2419
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2420
2421
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2422
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2423
(Robert Collins)
2424
2425
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2426
has been added that suppresses all output.
2427
2428
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2429
Adams.
2430
2431
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2432
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2433
2434
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2435
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2436
2437
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2438
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2441
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2442
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2443
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2444
2445
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2446
2447
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2448
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2449
2450
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2451
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2452
2453
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2454
output directory, if one was supplied.
2455
2456
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2457
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2458
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2459
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2460
2461
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2462
2463
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2464
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2465
2466
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2467
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2468
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2469
2470
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2471
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2472
2473
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2474
(Aaron Bentley)
2475
2476
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2477
2478
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2479
2480
TESTING:
2481
2482
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2483
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2484
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2485
2486
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2487
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2488
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2489
2490
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2491
is given. (Martin Pool)
2492
2493
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2494
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2495
file. (Robert Collins)
2496
2497
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2498
(Martin Pool)
2499
2500
INTERNALS:
2501
2502
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2503
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2504
representation. (Martin Pool).
2505
2506
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2507
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2508
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2509
2510
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2511
(Robert Collins)
2512
2513
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2514
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2515
Magnus Therning.
2516
2517
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2518
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2519
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2520
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2521
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2522
2523
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2524
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2525
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2526
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2527
python path. (Robert Collins)
2528
2529
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2530
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2531
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2532
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2533
2534
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2535
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2536
2537
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2538
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2539
(Robert Collins)
2540
2541
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2542
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2543
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2544
2545
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2546
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2547
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2550
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2551
2552
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2553
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2554
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2555
(Robert Collins)
2556
2557
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2558
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2559
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2560
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2561
(Robert Collins)
2562
2563
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2564
(Robert Collins)
2565
2566
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2567
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2568
(Robert Collins)
2569
2570
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2571
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2572
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2573
2574
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2575
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2576
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2577
2578
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2579
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2580
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2581
2582
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2583
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2584
2585
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2586
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2587
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2588
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2589
caller. (Robert Collins)
2590
2591
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2592
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2593
(Robert Collins).
2594
2595
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2596
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2597
(Aaron Bentley)
2598
2599
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2600
2601
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2602
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2603
2604
BUG FIXES:
2605
2606
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2607
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2608
2609
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2610
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2611
2612
2613
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2614
2615
BUG FIXES:
2616
2617
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2618
allow directories to be listed.
2619
2620
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2621
upgrading branch format.
2622
2623
PERFORMANCE:
2624
2625
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2626
2627
2628
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2629
2630
NOTES:
2631
2632
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2633
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2634
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2635
high-latency connections.
2636
2637
BUG FIXES:
2638
2639
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2640
Rob Weir.
2641
2642
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2643
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2644
2645
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2646
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2647
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2648
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2649
2650
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2651
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2652
2653
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2654
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2655
2656
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2657
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2658
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2659
2660
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2661
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2662
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2663
Robert Collins
2664
2665
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2666
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2667
2668
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2669
different partial views of history.
2670
2671
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2672
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2673
2674
IMPROVEMENTS:
2675
2676
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2677
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2678
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2679
2680
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2681
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2682
'bzr upgrade'.
2683
2684
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2685
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2686
2687
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2688
Niemeyer.
2689
2690
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2691
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2692
2693
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2694
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2695
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2696
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2697
2698
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2699
2700
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2701
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2702
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2703
2704
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2705
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2706
2707
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2708
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2709
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2710
2711
2712
INTERNALS:
2713
2714
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2715
for your viewing pleasure.
2716
2717
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2718
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2719
2720
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2721
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2722
handling of such circumstances.
2723
2724
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2725
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2726
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2727
2728
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2729
2730
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2731
we call them revisions not patches.
2732
2733
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2734
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2735
2736
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2737
giving the revision *of that file*.
2738
2739
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2740
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2741
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2742
2743
TESTING:
2744
2745
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2746
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2747
2748
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2749
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2750
2751
2752
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2753
2754
BUG FIXES:
2755
2756
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2757
2758
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2759
(Robert Collins).
2760
2761
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2762
2763
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2764
2765
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2766
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2767
2768
IMPROVEMENTS:
2769
2770
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2771
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2772
2773
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2774
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2775
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2776
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2777
Robey Pointer
2778
2779
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2780
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2781
2782
INTERNALS:
2783
2784
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2785
2786
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2787
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2788
2789
2790
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2791
2792
IMPROVEMENTS:
2793
2794
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2795
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2796
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2797
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2798
Michael Ellerman.
2799
2800
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2801
(Nir Soffer)
2802
2803
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2804
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2805
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2806
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2807
for the operating system is still tried.
2808
2809
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2810
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2811
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2812
2813
2814
INTERNALS:
2815
2816
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2817
2818
BUG FIXES:
2819
2820
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2821
2822
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2823
branch.
2824
2825
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2826
read.
2827
2828
2829
PORTABILITY:
2830
2831
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2832
2833
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2834
2835
2836
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2837
2838
NEW FEATURES:
2839
2840
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2841
help with intelligent shell completion.
2842
2843
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2844
2845
2846
ENHANCEMENTS:
2847
2848
* Much better merge support.
2849
2850
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2851
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2852
like emacs smerge.
2853
2854
2855
BUG FIXES:
2856
2857
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2858
mention revisions that are not present.
2859
2860
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2861
2862
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2863
2864
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2865
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2866
2867
2868
CHANGES:
2869
2870
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2871
2872
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2873
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2874
--help themselves.
2875
2876
2877
LIBRARY:
2878
2879
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2880
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2881
libraries.
2882
2883
2884
2885
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2886
2887
NEW FEATURES:
2888
2889
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2890
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2891
2892
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2893
2894
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2895
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2896
2897
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2898
FOO.
2899
2900
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2901
2902
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2903
the Unix command.
2904
2905
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2906
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2907
2908
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2909
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2910
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2911
2912
2913
ENHANCEMENTS:
2914
2915
* Faster working tree operations.
2916
2917
2918
CHANGES:
2919
2920
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2921
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2922
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2923
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2924
2925
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2926
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2927
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2928
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2929
standard plugins directory.
2930
2931
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2932
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2933
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2934
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2935
2936
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2937
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2938
2939
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2940
disk.
2941
2942
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2943
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2944
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2945
2946
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2947
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2948
2949
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2950
line options must come before the command name because they
2951
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2952
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2953
it.
2954
2955
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2956
2957
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2958
is available with ``--short``.
2959
2960
2961
BUG FIXES:
2962
2963
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2964
2965
2966
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2967
2968
CHANGES:
2969
2970
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2971
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2972
2973
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2974
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2975
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2976
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2977
2978
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2979
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2980
with the ``--forward`` option.
2981
2982
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2983
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2984
field.
2985
2986
2987
ENHANCEMENTS:
2988
2989
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2990
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2991
2992
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2993
2994
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2995
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2996
2997
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2998
2999
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3000
either read or write mode.
3001
3002
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3003
3004
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3005
affected that file.
3006
3007
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3008
3009
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3010
suggested by LarstiQ.
3011
3012
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3013
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3014
3015
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3016
a filename.
3017
3018
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3019
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3020
3021
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3022
haven't changed since the previous time.
3023
3024
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3025
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3026
3027
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3028
3029
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3030
3031
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3032
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3033
3034
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3035
options through to an external GNU diff.
3036
3037
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3038
their contents.
3039
3040
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3041
from a branch.
3042
3043
3044
BUG FIXES:
3045
3046
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3047
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3048
3049
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3050
metacharacters.
3051
3052
3053
TESTING:
3054
3055
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3056
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3057
the tests.
3058
3059
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3060
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3061
3062
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3063
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3064
3065
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3066
under a different version.
3067
3068
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3069
3070
3071
INTERNAL:
3072
3073
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3074
3075
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3076
Scott James Remnant.
3077
3078
* Better help messages for many commands.
3079
3080
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3081
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3082
3083
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3084
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3085
3086
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3087
3088
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3089
3090
* New AtomicFile class.
3091
3092
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3093
3094
3095
PORTABILITY:
3096
3097
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3098
2.4 is now only recommended.
3099
3100
3101
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3102
3103
ENHANCEMENTS:
3104
3105
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3106
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3107
3108
* More default ignore patterns.
3109
3110
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3111
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3112
3113
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3114
3115
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3116
by Jason Diamon.
3117
3118
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3119
3120
3121
CHANGES:
3122
3123
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3124
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3125
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3126
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3127
there are DNS problems.
3128
3129
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3130
3131
3132
BUG FIXES:
3133
3134
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3135
3136
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3137
3138
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3139
trailing newlines properly.
3140
3141
3142
INTERNAL:
3143
3144
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3145
Matt Brubeck.
3146
3147
* More tests in test.sh.
3148
3149
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3150
directory and delete it when done.
3151
3152
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3153
3154
3155
PORTABILITY:
3156
3157
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3158
Bennetts.
3159
3160
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3161
from QuantumG.
3162
3163
3164
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3165
3166
ENHANCEMENTS:
3167
3168
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3169
in the tree.
3170
3171
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3172
3173
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3174
and/or directory.
3175
3176
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3177
directory.
3178
3179
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3180
3181
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3182
3183
CHANGES:
3184
3185
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3186
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3187
will do for now.)
3188
3189
PORTABILITY:
3190
3191
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3192
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3193
Nielsen.
3194
3195
INTERNAL:
3196
3197
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3198
3199
TESTING:
3200
3201
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

3211
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3212
3213
ENHANCEMENTS:
3214
3215
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3216
3217
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3218
rather than replacing it.
3219
3220
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3221
3222
* More help topics.
3223
3224
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3225
branch.
3226
3227
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3228
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3229
3230
* Performance improvements.
3231
3232
* New global --profile option.
3233
3234
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3235
the root directory only.
3236
3237
3238
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3239
3240
ENHANCEMENTS:
3241
3242
* More information from info command.
3243
3244
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3245
3246
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3247
committing to stores.
3248
3249
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3250
3251
BUG FIXES:
3252
3253
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3254
3255
PORTABILITY:
3256
3257
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3258
installation easier.
3259
3260
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3261
supported).
3262
3263
3264
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3265
3266
ENHANCEMENTS:
3267
3268
* First public release.
3269
3270
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
3271
diff, status, etc.
