BUGFIXES:
4
5
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
6
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7
8
IMPROVEMENTS:
9
10
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
11
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
12
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
13
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
14
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
15
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
16
17
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
18
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
19
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
20
21
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
22
(Elliot Murphy)
23
24
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
25
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
26
27
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
28
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
29
30
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
31
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
32
33
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
34
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
35
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
36
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
37
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
38
39
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
40
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
41
(Ian Clatworthy)
42
43
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
44
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
45
46
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
47
output. (Aaron Bentley)
48
49
INTERNALS:
50
51
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
52
53
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
54
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
55
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
56
57
TESTING:
58
59
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
60
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
61
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
62
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
63
64
BUGFIXES:
65
66
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
67
authentication header.
68
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
69
70
71
bzr 0.17 2007-06-18
72
73
BUGFIXES:
74
75
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
76
(Colin Watson, #120647)
77
78
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
79
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
80
81
82
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
83
84
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
85
86
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
87
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
88
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
89
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
90
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
91
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
92
and unlock() like so::
93
94
work_tree.lock_read()
95
try:
96
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
97
finally:
98
work_tree.unlock()
99
100
INTERNALS:
101
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
102
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
103
object.
104
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
105
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
106
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
107
108
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
109
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
110
too. (Robert Collins)
111
112
IMPROVEMENTS:
113
114
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
115
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
116
Aaron Bentley)
117
118
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
119
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
120
121
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
122
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
123
124
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
125
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
126
understanding what changes have occurred
127
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
128
129
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
130
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
131
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
132
133
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
134
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
135
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
136
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
137
138
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
139
#56322)
140
141
BUGFIXES:
142
143
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
144
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
145
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
146
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
147
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
148
149
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
150
based on split paths, not just string paths.
151
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
152
153
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
155
156
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
157
into account.
158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
159
160
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
161
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
162
163
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
164
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
165
166
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
167
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
168
169
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
170
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
171
172
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
173
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
174
175
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
176
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
177
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
178
179
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
180
181
BUGFIXES:
182
183
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
184
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
185
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
186
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
187
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
188
189
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
190
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
191
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
192
193
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
194
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
195
196
IMPROVEMENTS:
197
198
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
199
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
200
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
201
202
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
203
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
204
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
205
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
206
207
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
208
209
BUGFIXES:
210
211
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
212
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
213
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
214
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
215
216
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
217
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
218
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
219
220
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
221
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
222
223
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
224
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
225
226
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
227
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
228
229
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
230
231
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
232
233
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
234
it could be recovered again.
235
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
236
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
237
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
238
but not delete it.
239
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
240
files.
241
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
242
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
243
244
IMPROVEMENTS:
245
246
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
247
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
248
249
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
250
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
251
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
252
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
253
254
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
255
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
256
257
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
258
tests with names that match that regular expression.
259
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
260
261
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
262
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
263
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
264
265
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
266
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
267
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
268
269
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
270
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
271
Robert Collins)
272
273
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
274
Pool)
275
276
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
277
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
278
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
279
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
280
281
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
282
(Robert Collins)
283
284
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
285
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
286
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
287
(Robert Collins)
288
289
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
290
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
291
292
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
293
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
294
295
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
296
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
297
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
298
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
299
(Robert Collins)
300
301
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
302
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
303
304
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
305
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
306
307
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
308
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
309
(Robert Collins, #107125).
310
311
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
312
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
313
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
314
315
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
316
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
317
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
318
319
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
320
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
321
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
322
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
323
324
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
325
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
326
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
327
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
328
329
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
330
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
331
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
332
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
333
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
334
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
335
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
336
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
337
header(s).
338
(Vincent Ladeuil).
339
340
INTERNALS:
341
342
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
343
code paths. (Robert Collins)
344
345
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
346
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
347
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
348
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
349
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
350
351
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
352
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
353
354
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
355
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
356
357
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
358
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
359
360
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
361
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
362
363
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
364
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
365
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
366
(Robert Collins).
367
368
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
369
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
370
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
371
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
372
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
373
(Robert Collins)
374
375
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
376
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
377
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
378
379
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
380
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
381
(Vincent Ladeuil).
382
383
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
384
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
385
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
386
(Vincent Ladeuil).
387
388
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
389
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
390
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
391
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
392
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
393
394
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
395
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
396
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
397
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
398
399
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
400
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
401
402
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
403
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
404
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
405
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
406
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
407
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
408
409
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
410
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
411
412
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
413
help. (Robert Collins)
414
415
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
416
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
417
418
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
419
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
420
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
421
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
422
(John Arbash Meinel)
423
424
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
425
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
426
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
427
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
428
useful. (Robert Collins)
429
430
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
431
(Andrew Bennetts)
432
433
BUGFIXES:
434
435
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
436
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
437
438
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
439
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
440
441
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
442
properly and is no longer beneficial.
443
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
444
445
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
446
(Aaron Bentley)
447
448
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
449
the file, and does it faster.
450
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
451
452
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
453
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
454
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
455
456
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
457
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
458
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
459
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
460
461
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
462
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
463
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
464
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
465
466
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
467
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
468
469
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
470
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
471
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
472
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
473
Arbash Meinel)
474
475
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
476
477
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
478
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
479
480
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
481
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
482
483
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
484
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
485
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
486
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
487
security hole.
488
(Vincent Ladeuil)
489
490
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
491
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
492
493
TESTING:
494
495
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
496
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
497
in running it. (Robert Collins)
498
499
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
500
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
501
502
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
503
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
504
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
505
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
506
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
507
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
508
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
509
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
510
511
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
512
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
513
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
514
515
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
516
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
517
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
518
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
519
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
520
access.
521
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
522
523
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
524
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
525
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
526
527
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
528
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
545
546
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
547
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
548
(Martin Pool)
549
550
IMPROVEMENTS:
551
552
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
553
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
554
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
555
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
556
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
557
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
558
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
559
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
560
path. (vila)
561
562
INTERNALS:
563
564
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
565
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
566
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
567
568
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
569
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
570
(Martin Pool)
571
572
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
573
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
574
(John Arbash Meinel)
575
576
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
577
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
578
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
579
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
580
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
581
582
BUGFIXES:
583
584
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
585
(vila, #92195)
586
587
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
588
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
589
590
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
591
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
592
593
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
594
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
595
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
596
597
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
598
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
599
600
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
601
last-changed-revision for directories. The
602
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
603
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
604
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
605
606
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
607
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
608
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
609
610
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
614
615
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
616
617
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
618
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
619
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
620
621
IMPROVEMENTS:
622
623
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
624
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
625
626
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
627
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
628
629
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
630
631
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
632
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
633
634
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
635
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
636
637
INTERNALS:
638
639
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
640
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
641
642
BUGFIXES:
643
644
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
645
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
646
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
647
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
648
649
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
650
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
651
652
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
653
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
654
655
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
656
(Marien Zwart)
657
658
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
659
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
660
661
662
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
663
664
SURPRISES:
665
666
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
667
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
668
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
669
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
670
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
671
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
672
673
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
674
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
675
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
676
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
677
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
678
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
679
development.
680
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
681
682
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
683
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
684
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
685
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
686
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
687
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
688
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
689
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
690
691
IMPROVEMENTS:
692
693
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
694
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
695
696
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
697
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
698
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
699
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
700
does exist.
701
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
702
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
703
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
704
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
705
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
706
707
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
708
(Aaron Bentley)
709
710
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
711
(Aaron Bentley)
712
713
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
714
(Robert Collins)
715
716
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
717
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
718
(Aaron Bentley)
719
720
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
721
(Aaron Bentley)
722
723
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
724
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
725
726
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
727
directory. (Martin Pool)
728
729
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
730
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
731
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
732
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
733
734
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
735
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
736
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
737
in docs/configuration.txt.
738
739
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
740
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
741
bind location.
742
743
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
744
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
745
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
746
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
747
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
748
repositories. (Martin Pool)
749
750
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
751
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
752
753
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
754
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
755
756
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
757
(Aaron Bentley)
758
759
INTERNALS:
760
761
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
762
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
763
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
764
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
765
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
766
(John Arbash Meinel)
767
768
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
769
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
770
(Aaron Bentley)
771
772
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
773
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
774
(John Arbash Meinel)
775
776
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
777
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
778
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
779
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
780
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
781
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
782
783
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
784
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
785
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
786
787
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
788
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
789
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
790
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
791
repository.
792
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
793
794
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
795
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
796
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
797
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
798
799
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
800
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
801
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
802
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
803
804
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
805
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
806
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
807
808
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
809
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
810
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
811
812
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
813
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
814
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
815
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
816
817
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
818
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
819
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
820
821
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
822
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
823
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
824
825
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
826
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
827
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
828
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
829
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
830
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
831
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
832
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
833
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

835
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
836
837
BUGFIXES:
838
839
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
840
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
841
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
842
843
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
844
(Aaron Bentley)
845
846
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
847
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
848
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
849
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
850
851
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
852
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
853
#83954).
854
855
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
856
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
857
858
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)

864
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
865
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)

(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
898
899

910
server, then you can write over the http connection.
911
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
912
913
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
914
(Marius Kruger)
915
916
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
917
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
918
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
919
920
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
921
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
922
923
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
924
(Aaron Bentley)
925
926
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
927
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
928
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
929
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
930
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
931
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
932
933
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
934
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
935
should enable you to do::
936
937
[/home/user/project]
938
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
939
push_location:policy = appendpath
940
941
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
942
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
943
(James Henstridge)
944
945
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
946
for each file. For example::
947
948
$ bzr status --short
949
A foo
950
A bar
951
D baz
952
? wooley
953
954
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
955
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
956
957
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
958
959
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
960
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
961
962
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
963
964
INTERNALS:
965
966
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
967
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
968
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
969
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
970
971
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
972
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
973
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
974
975
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
976
977
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
978
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
979
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
980
(Alexander Belchenko)
981
982
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
983
Pool)
984
985
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
986
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
987
988
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
989
990
BUG FIXES:
991
992
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
993
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
994
995
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
996
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
997
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
998
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
999
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1000
1001
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1002
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1003
1004
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1005
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1006
1007
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1008
matcher.
1009
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1010
1011
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1012
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1013
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1014
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1015
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1016
1017
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1018
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1019
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1020
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1021
1022
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1023
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1024
1025
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1026
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1027
1028
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1029
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1030
1031
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1042
1043
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1044
tree from a branch.
1045
(Daniel Silverstone)
1046
1047
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1048
operations are substantially faster.
1049
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1050
1051
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1052
tree from some other url. For example:
1053
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1054
(Daniel Silverstone)
1055
1056
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1057
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1058
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1059
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1060
1061
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1062
(Andrew Bennetts)
1063
1064
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1065
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1066
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1067
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1068
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1069
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1070
1071
INTERNALS:
1072
1073
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1074
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1075
(Martin Pool)
1076
1077
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1078
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1079
(John Arbash Meinel)
1080
1081
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1082
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1083
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1084
(John Arbash Meinel)
1085
1086
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1087
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1088
1089
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1090
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1091
1092
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1093
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1094
Bennetts)
1095
1096
BUG FIXES:
1097
1098
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1099
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1100
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1101
1102
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1103
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1104
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1105
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1106
1107
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1108
1109
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1110
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1111
1112
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1113
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1114
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1116
1117
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1118
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1119
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1120
1121
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1122
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1123
them as full references rather than integers.
1124
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1125
1126
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1127
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1128
1129
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1130
1131
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1132
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1133
1134
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1135
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1136
1137
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1138
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1139
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1140
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1141
1142
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1143
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1144
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1145
1146
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1147
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1148
1149
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1150
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1151
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1152
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1153
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1154
1155
TESTING:
1156
1157
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1158
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1159
1160
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1161
1162
INTERNALS:
1163
1164
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1165
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1166
(John Arbash Meinel)
1167
1168
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1169
1170
IMPROVEMENTS:
1171
1172
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1173
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1174
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1175
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1176
1177
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1178
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1179
1180
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1181
1182
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1183
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1184
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1185
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1186
1187
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1188
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1189
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1190
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1191
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1192
1193
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1194
1195
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1196
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1197
1198
INTERNALS:
1199
1200
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1201
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1202
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1203
1204
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1205
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1206
(John Arbash Meinel)
1207
1208
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1209
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1210
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1211
1212
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1213
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1214
(Aaron Bentley)
1215
1216
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1217
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1218
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1219
1220
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1221
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1222
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1223
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1224
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1225
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1226
1227
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1228
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1229
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1230
(Robert Collins)
1231
1232
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1233
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1234
1235
BUG FIXES:
1236
1237
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1238
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1239
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1240
#63360, #66349)
1241
1242
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1243
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1244
1245
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1246
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1247
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1248
1249
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1250
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1251
1252
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1253
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1254
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1255
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1256
1257
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1258
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1259
1260
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1261
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1262
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1263
1264
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1265
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1266
1267
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1268
1269
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1270
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1271
#32054)
1272
1273
TESTING:
1274
1275
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1276
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1277
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1278
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1279
1280
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1281
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1282
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1283
1284
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1289
1290
BUG FIXES:
1291
1292
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1293
1294
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1295
Arbash Meinel).
1296
1297
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1298
1299
IMPROVEMENTS:
1300
1301
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1302
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1303
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1304
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1305
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1306
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1307
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1308
1309
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1310
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1311
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1312
1313
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1314
1315
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1316
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1317
1318
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1319
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1320
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1321
(Robert Collins)
1322
1323
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1324
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1325
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1326
(John Arbash Meinel)
1327
1328
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1329
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1330
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1331
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1332
Pool)
1333
1334
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1335
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1336
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1337
(John Arbash Meinel)
1338
1339
BUG FIXES:
1340
1341
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1342
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1343
1344
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1345
1346
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1347
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1348
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1349
1350
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1351
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1352
1353
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1354
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1355
1356
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1358
1359
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1360
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1361
1362
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1363
1364
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1365
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1366
1367
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1368
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1369
1370
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1371
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1372
1373
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1374
(John Arbash Meinel)
1375
1376
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1377
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1378
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1379
1380
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1381
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1382
1383
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1384
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1385
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1386
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1387
1388
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1389
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1390
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1391
1392
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1393
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1394
1395
PORTABILITY:
1396
1397
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1398
1399
INTERNALS:
1400
1401
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1402
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1403
(John Arbash Meinel)
1404
1405
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1406
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1407
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1408
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1409
1410
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1411
(Andrew Bennetts)
1412
1413
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1414
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1415
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1416
1417
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1418
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1419
1420
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1421
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1422
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1423
1424
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1425
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1426
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1427
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1428
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1429
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1430
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1431
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1432
caller to repeat their request.
1433
(John Arbash Meinel)
1434
1435
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1436
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1437
1438
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1439
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1440
1441
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1442
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1443
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1444
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1445
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1446
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1447
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1448
1449
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1450
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1451
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1452
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1453
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1454
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1455
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1456
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1457
(Robert Collins)
1458
1459
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1460
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1461
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1462
1463
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1464
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1465
1466
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1467
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1468
1469
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1470
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1471
1472
TESTING:
1473
1474
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1475
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1476
1477
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1478
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1479
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1480
1481
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1482
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1483
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1484
1485
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1486
1487
IMPROVEMENTS:
1488
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1489
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1490
1491
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1492
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1493
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1494
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1495
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1496
1497
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1498
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1499
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1500
1501
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1502
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1503
1504
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1505
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1506
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1507
1508
BUG FIXES:
1509
1510
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1511
1512
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1513
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1514
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1515
1516
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1517
1518
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1519
1520
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1521
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1522
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1523
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1524
1525
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1526
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1527
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1528
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1529
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1530
1531
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1532
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1533
1534
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1535
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1536
1537
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1538
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1539
1540
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1541
in handling of revision properties.
1542
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1543
1544
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1545
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1546
1547
INTERNALS:
1548
1549
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1550
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1551
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1552
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1553
(John Arbash Meinel)
1554
1555
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1556
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1557
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1558
1559
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1560
1561
SURPRISES:
1562
1563
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1564
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1565
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1566
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1567
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1568
a more conservative list than the old default.
1569
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1570
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1571
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1572
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1573
1574
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1575
to more locations than just branch locations.
1576
(Aaron Bentley)
1577
1578
IMPROVEMENTS:
1579
1580
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1581
revno:N:branch. For example,
1582
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1583
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1584
1585
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1586
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1587
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1588
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1589
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1590
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1591
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1592
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1593
#42517, #42514)
1594
1595
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1596
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1597
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1598
(Malone #3507)
1599
1600
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1601
(Alexander Belchenko)
1602
1603
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1604
1605
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1606
(Robert Collins).
1607
1608
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1609
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1610
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1611
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1612
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1613
(John Arbash Meinel)
1614
1615
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1616
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1617
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1618
grained analysis of performance.
1619
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1620
1621
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1622
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1623
1624
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1625
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1626
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1627
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1628
file. (Robert Collins).
1629
1630
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1631
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1632
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1633
1634
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1635
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1636
Matthieu Moy)
1637
1638
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1639
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1642
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1643
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1644
the same way you would apply another branch.
1645
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1646
1647
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1648
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1649
1650
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1651
(Michael Ellerman)
1652
1653
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1654
(Aaron Bentley)
1655
1656
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1657
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1658
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1659
1660
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1661
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1662
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1663
1664
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1665
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1666
1667
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1668
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1669
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1670
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1671
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1672
1673
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1674
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1675
1676
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1677
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1678
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1679
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1680
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1681
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1682
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1683
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1684
1685
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1686
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1687
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1688
1689
BUG FIXES:
1690
1691
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1692
tests not to run.
1693
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1694
1695
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1696
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1697
1698
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1699
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1700
1701
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1702
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1703
1704
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1705
1706
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1707
(John Arbash Meinel)
1708
1709
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1710
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1711
1712
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1713
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1714
and y.
1715
1716
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1717
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1718
1719
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1720
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1721
1722
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1723
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1724
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1725
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1726
1727
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1728
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1729
1730
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1731
1732
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1733
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1734
1735
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1736
1737
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1738
1739
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1740
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1741
1742
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1743
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1744
1745
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1746
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1747
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1748
1749
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1750
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1751
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1752
1753
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1754
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1755
1756
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1757
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1758
1759
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1760
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1761
1762
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1763
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1764
1765
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1766
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1767
1768
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1769
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1770
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1771
1772
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1773
1774
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1775
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1776
1777
INTERNALS:
1778
1779
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1780
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1781
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1782
1783
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1784
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1785
1786
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1787
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1788
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1789
1790
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1791
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1792
1793
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1794
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1795
(Martin Pool)
1796
1797
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1798
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1799
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1800
1801
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1802
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1803
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1804
1805
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1806
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1807
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1808
1809
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1810
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1811
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1812
1813
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1814
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1815
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1816
1817
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1818
instead. (Robert Collins)
1819
1820
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1833
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1834
1835
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1836
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1837
1838
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1839
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

1850
1851
CHANGES:
1852
1853
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1854
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1855
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1856
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1857
1858
NEW FEATURES:
1859
1860
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1861
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1862
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1863
1864
INTERNALS:
1865
1866
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1867
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1868
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1869
1870
TESTING:
1871
1872
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1873
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

1875
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1876
1877
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1878
1879
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1880
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1881
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1882
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1883
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1884
will keep the same format.
1885
1886
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1887
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1888
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1889
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1890
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1891
1892
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1893
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1894
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1895
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1896
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1897
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1898
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1899
1900
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1901
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1902
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1903
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1904
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1905
1906
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1907
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1908
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1909
arrangement.
1910
1911
1912
IMPROVEMENTS:
1913
1914
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1915
convention. Paths now take the form::
1916
1917
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1918
or
1919
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1920
1921
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1922
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1923
1924
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1925
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1926
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1927
1928
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1929
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1930
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1931
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1932
1933
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1934
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1935
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1936
1937
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1938
1939
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1940
1941
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1942
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1943
commits::
1944
1945
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1946
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1947
| xargs bzr re-sign
1948
1949
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1950
1951
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1952
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1953
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1954
(Robert Collins)
1955
1956
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1957
1958
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1959
1960
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1961
'.moved'.
1962
1963
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1964
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1965
1966
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1967
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1968
Daniel Silverstone)
1969
1970
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1971
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1972
Martin Pool)
1973
1974
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1975
1976
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1977
1978
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1979
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1980
1981
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1982
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1983
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1984
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1985
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1986
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1987
1988
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1989
1990
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1991
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1992
(Robert Collins)
1993
1994
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1995
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1996
1997
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1998
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1999
2000
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2001
2002
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2003
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2004
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2005
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2006
specification by Martin Pool.
2007
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2008
2009
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2010
Belchenko)
2011
2012
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2013
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2014
2015
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2016
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2017
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2018
2019
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2020
2021
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2022
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2023
(Robert Collins)
2024
2025
CHANGES:
2026
2027
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2028
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2029
2030
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2031
2032
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2033
2034
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2035
(Olaf Conradi)
2036
2037
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2038
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2039
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2040
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2041
2042
INTERNALS:
2043
2044
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2045
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2046
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2047
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2048
2049
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2050
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2051
tried. (Martin Pool)
2052
2053
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2054
(Martin Pool)
2055
2056
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2057
2058
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2059
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2060
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2061
2062
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2063
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2064
2065
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2066
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2067
paths. (Robert Collins)
2068
2069
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2070
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2071
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2072
2073
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2074
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2075
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2076
2077
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2078
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2079
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2080
2081
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2082
(Olaf Conradi)
2083
2084
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2085
(Olaf Conradi)
2086
2087
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2088
2089
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2090
2091
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2092
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2093
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2094
(Robert Collins)
2095
2096
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2097
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2098
2099
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2100
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2101
check. (Robert Collins)
2102
2103
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2104
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2105
2106
TESTING:
2107
2108
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2109
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2110
2111
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2112
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2113
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2114
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2115
2116
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2117
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2118
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2119
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2120
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2121
2122
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2123
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2124
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2125
2126
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2127
2128
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2129
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2132
2133
CHANGES:
2134
2135
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2136
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2137
2138
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2139
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2140
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2141
(Johan Rydberg)
2142
2143
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2144
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2145
2146
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2147
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2148
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2149
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2150
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2151
2152
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2153
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2154
used. (Robert Collins)
2155
2156
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2157
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2158
(James Henstridge)
2159
2160
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2161
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2162
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2163
2164
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2165
ignore list.
2166
2167
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2168
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2169
2170
IMPROVEMENTS:
2171
2172
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2173
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2174
2175
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2176
2177
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2178
2179
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2180
tree. (Robert Collins)
2181
2182
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2183
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2184
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2185
(Robert Collins)
2186
2187
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2188
that they be kept.
2189
2190
* Tweaks to short log printing
2191
2192
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2193
(Aaron Bentley)
2194
2195
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2196
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2197
2198
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2199
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2200
2201
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2202
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2203
2204
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2205
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2206
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2207
2208
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2209
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2210
2211
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2212
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2213
requests.
2214
2215
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2216
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2217
2218
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2219
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2220
2221
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2222
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2223
2224
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2225
(Denys Duchier)
2226
2227
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2228
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2229
2230
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2231
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2232
2233
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2234
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2235
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2236
2237
BUG FIXES:
2238
2239
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2240
2241
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2242
2243
* Error when run with -OO
2244
2245
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2246
(Martin Pool)
2247
2248
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2249
2250
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2251
2252
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2253
ignored by diff and status
2254
2255
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2256
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2257
2258
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2259
2260
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2261
2262
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2263
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2264
2265
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2266
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2267
2268
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2269
(Harald Meland)
2270
2271
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2272
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2273
2274
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2275
2276
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2277
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2278
2279
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2280
(Martin Pool)
2281
2282
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2283
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2284
2285
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2286
2287
TESTING:
2288
2289
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2290
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2291
2292
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2293
2294
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2295
2296
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2297
2298
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2299
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2300
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2301
2302
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2303
2304
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2305
(John Arbash Meinel)
2306
2307
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2308
2309
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2310
If adding a new test script please add that to
2311
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2312
2313
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2314
imported. (Martin Pool)
2315
2316
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2317
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2318
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2319
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2320
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2321
(Robert Collins)
2322
2323
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2324
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2325
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2326
2327
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2328
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2329
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2330
2331
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2332
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2333
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2334
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2335
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2336
(Robert Collins).
2337
2338
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2339
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2340
(Robert Collins).
2341
2342
INTERNALS:
2343
2344
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2345
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2348
function. (Robert Collins)
2349
2350
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2351
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2352
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2353
2354
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2355
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2356
(Robert Collins)
2357
2358
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2359
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2360
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2361
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2362
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2363
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2364
version. (Robert Collins)
2365
2366
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2367
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2368
2369
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2370
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2371
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2372
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2373
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2374
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2377
(Robert Collins)
2378
2379
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2380
2381
add()
2382
commit()
2383
move()
2384
rename_one()
2385
unknowns()
2386
2387
(Robert Collins)
2388
2389
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2390
2391
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2392
2393
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2394
Pool)
2395
2396
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2397
query method. (Robert Collins)
2398
2399
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2400
(Denys Duchier)
2401
2402
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2403
(Michael Ellerman)
2404
2405
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2406
(Michael Ellerman)
2407
2408
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2409
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2410
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2411
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2412
2413
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2414
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2415
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2416
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2417
2418
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2419
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2420
2421
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28

2423
IMPROVEMENTS:
2424
2425
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2426
(John A Meinel)
2427
2428
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2429
conflicts.
2430
(Aaron Bentley)
2431
2432
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2433
a separator, not ':'.
2434
(Aaron Bentley)
2435
2436
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2437
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2438
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2439
2440
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2441
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2442
(Robert Collins)
2443
2444
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2445
has been added that suppresses all output.
2446
2447
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2448
Adams.
2449
2450
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2451
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2452
2453
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2454
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2455
2456
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2457
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2458
2459
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2460
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2461
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2462
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2463
2464
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2465
2466
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2467
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2468
2469
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2470
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2471
2472
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2473
output directory, if one was supplied.
2474
2475
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2476
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2477
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2478
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2479
2480
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2481
2482
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2483
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2484
2485
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2486
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2487
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2488
2489
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2490
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2491
2492
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2493
(Aaron Bentley)
2494
2495
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2496
2497
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2498
2499
TESTING:
2500
2501
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2502
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2503
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2504
2505
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2506
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2507
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2508
2509
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2510
is given. (Martin Pool)
2511
2512
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2513
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2514
file. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2517
(Martin Pool)
2518
2519
INTERNALS:
2520
2521
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2522
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2523
representation. (Martin Pool).
2524
2525
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2526
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2527
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2528
2529
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2530
(Robert Collins)
2531
2532
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2533
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2534
Magnus Therning.
2535
2536
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2537
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2538
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2539
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2540
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2541
2542
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2543
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2544
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2545
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2546
python path. (Robert Collins)
2547
2548
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2549
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2550
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2551
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2552
2553
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2554
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2555
2556
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2557
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2558
(Robert Collins)
2559
2560
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2561
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2562
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2563
2564
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2565
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2566
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2567
2568
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2569
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2570
2571
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2572
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2573
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2574
(Robert Collins)
2575
2576
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2577
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2578
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2579
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2580
(Robert Collins)
2581
2582
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2583
(Robert Collins)
2584
2585
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2586
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2587
(Robert Collins)
2588
2589
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2590
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2591
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2592
2593
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2594
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2595
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2598
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2599
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2600
2601
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2602
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2603
2604
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2605
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2606
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2607
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2608
caller. (Robert Collins)
2609
2610
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2611
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2612
(Robert Collins).
2613
2614
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2615
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2616
(Aaron Bentley)
2617
2618
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2619
2620
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2621
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2622
2623
BUG FIXES:
2624
2625
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2626
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2627
2628
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2629
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2630
2631
2632
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2633
2634
BUG FIXES:
2635
2636
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2637
allow directories to be listed.
2638
2639
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2640
upgrading branch format.
2641
2642
PERFORMANCE:
2643
2644
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2645
2646
2647
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2648
2649
NOTES:
2650
2651
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2652
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2653
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2654
high-latency connections.
2655
2656
BUG FIXES:
2657
2658
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2659
Rob Weir.
2660
2661
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2662
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2663
2664
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2665
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2666
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2667
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2668
2669
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2670
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2671
2672
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2673
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2674
2675
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2676
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2677
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2678
2679
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2680
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2681
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2682
Robert Collins
2683
2684
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2685
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2686
2687
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2688
different partial views of history.
2689
2690
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2691
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2692
2693
IMPROVEMENTS:
2694
2695
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2696
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2697
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2698
2699
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2700
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2701
'bzr upgrade'.
2702
2703
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2704
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2705
2706
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2707
Niemeyer.
2708
2709
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2710
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2711
2712
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2713
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2714
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2715
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2716
2717
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2718
2719
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2720
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2721
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2722
2723
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2724
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2725
2726
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2727
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2728
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2729
2730
2731
INTERNALS:
2732
2733
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2734
for your viewing pleasure.
2735
2736
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2737
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2738
2739
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2740
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2741
handling of such circumstances.
2742
2743
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2744
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2745
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2746
2747
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2748
2749
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2750
we call them revisions not patches.
2751
2752
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2753
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2754
2755
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2756
giving the revision *of that file*.
2757
2758
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2759
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2760
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2761
2762
TESTING:
2763
2764
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2765
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2766
2767
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2768
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2769
2770
2771
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2772
2773
BUG FIXES:
2774
2775
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2776
2777
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2778
(Robert Collins).
2779
2780
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2781
2782
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2783
2784
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2785
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2786
2787
IMPROVEMENTS:
2788
2789
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2790
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2791
2792
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2793
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2794
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2795
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2796
Robey Pointer
2797
2798
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2799
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2800
2801
INTERNALS:
2802
2803
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2804
2805
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2806
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2807
2808
2809
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2810
2811
IMPROVEMENTS:
2812
2813
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2814
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2815
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2816
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2817
Michael Ellerman.
2818
2819
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2820
(Nir Soffer)
2821
2822
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2823
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2824
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2825
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2826
for the operating system is still tried.
2827
2828
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2829
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2830
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2831
2832
2833
INTERNALS:
2834
2835
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2836
2837
BUG FIXES:
2838
2839
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2840
2841
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2842
branch.
2843
2844
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2845
read.
2846
2847
2848
PORTABILITY:
2849
2850
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2851
2852
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2853
2854
2855
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2856
2857
NEW FEATURES:
2858
2859
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2860
help with intelligent shell completion.
2861
2862
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2863
2864
2865
ENHANCEMENTS:
2866
2867
* Much better merge support.
2868
2869
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2870
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2871
like emacs smerge.
2872
2873
2874
BUG FIXES:
2875
2876
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2877
mention revisions that are not present.
2878
2879
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2880
2881
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2882
2883
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2884
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2885
2886
2887
CHANGES:
2888
2889
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2890
2891
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2892
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2893
--help themselves.
2894
2895
2896
LIBRARY:
2897
2898
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2899
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2900
libraries.
2901
2902
2903
2904
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2905
2906
NEW FEATURES:
2907
2908
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2909
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2910
2911
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2912
2913
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2914
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2915
2916
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2917
FOO.
2918
2919
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2920
2921
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2922
the Unix command.
2923
2924
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2925
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2926
2927
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2928
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2929
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2930
2931
2932
ENHANCEMENTS:
2933
2934
* Faster working tree operations.
2935
2936
2937
CHANGES:
2938
2939
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2940
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2941
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2942
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2943
2944
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2945
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2946
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2947
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2948
standard plugins directory.
2949
2950
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2951
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2952
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2953
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2954
2955
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2956
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2957
2958
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2959
disk.
2960
2961
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2962
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2963
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2964
2965
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2966
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2967
2968
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2969
line options must come before the command name because they
2970
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2971
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2972
it.
2973
2974
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2975
2976
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2977
is available with ``--short``.
2978
2979
2980
BUG FIXES:
2981
2982
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2983
2984
2985
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2986
2987
CHANGES:
2988
2989
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2990
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2991
2992
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2993
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2994
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2995
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2996
2997
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2998
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2999
with the ``--forward`` option.
3000
3001
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3002
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3003
field.
3004
3005
3006
ENHANCEMENTS:
3007
3008
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3009
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3010
3011
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3012
3013
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3014
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3015
3016
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3017
3018
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3019
either read or write mode.
3020
3021
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3022
3023
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3024
affected that file.
3025
3026
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3027
3028
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3029
suggested by LarstiQ.
3030
3031
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3032
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3033
3034
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3035
a filename.
3036
3037
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3038
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3039
3040
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3041
haven't changed since the previous time.
3042
3043
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3044
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3045
3046
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3047
3048
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3049
3050
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3051
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3052
3053
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3054
options through to an external GNU diff.
3055
3056
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3057
their contents.
3058
3059
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3060
from a branch.
3061
3062
3063
BUG FIXES:
3064
3065
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3066
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3067
3068
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3069
metacharacters.
3070
3071
3072
TESTING:
3073
3074
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3075
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3076
the tests.
3077
3078
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3079
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3080
3081
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3082
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3083
3084
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3085
under a different version.
3086
3087
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3088
3089
3090
INTERNAL:
3091
3092
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3093
3094
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3095
Scott James Remnant.
3096
3097
* Better help messages for many commands.
3098
3099
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3100
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3101
3102
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3103
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3104
3105
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3106
3107
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3108
3109
* New AtomicFile class.
3110
3111
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3112
3113
3114
PORTABILITY:
3115
3116
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3117
2.4 is now only recommended.
3118
3119
3120
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3121
3122
ENHANCEMENTS:
3123
3124
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3125
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3126
3127
* More default ignore patterns.
3128
3129
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3130
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3131
3132
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3133
3134
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3135
by Jason Diamon.
3136
3137
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3138
3139
3140
CHANGES:
3141
3142
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3143
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3144
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3145
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3146
there are DNS problems.
3147
3148
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3149
3150
3151
BUG FIXES:
3152
3153
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3154
3155
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3156
3157
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3158
trailing newlines properly.
3159
3160
3161
INTERNAL:
3162
3163
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3164
Matt Brubeck.
3165
3166
* More tests in test.sh.
3167
3168
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3169
directory and delete it when done.
3170
3171
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3172
3173
3174
PORTABILITY:
3175
3176
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3177
Bennetts.
3178
3179
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3180
from QuantumG.
3181
3182
3183
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3184
3185
ENHANCEMENTS:
3186
3187
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3188
in the tree.
3189
3190
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3191
3192
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3193
and/or directory.
3194
3195
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3196
directory.
3197
3198
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3199
3200
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3201
3202
CHANGES:
3203
3204
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3205
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3206
will do for now.)
3207
3208
PORTABILITY:
3209
3210
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3211
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3212
Nielsen.
3213
3214
INTERNAL:
3215
3216
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3217
3218
TESTING:
3219
3220
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3221

3228
3229
3230
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3231
3232
ENHANCEMENTS:
3233
3234
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3235
3236
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3237
rather than replacing it.
3238
3239
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3240
3241
* More help topics.
3242
3243
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3244
branch.
3245
3246
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3247
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3248
3249
* Performance improvements.
3250
3251
* New global --profile option.
3252
3253
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3254
the root directory only.
3255
3256
3257
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3258
3259
ENHANCEMENTS:
3260
3261
* More information from info command.
3262
3263
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3264
3265
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3266
committing to stores.
3267
3268
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3269
3270
BUG FIXES:
3271
3272
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3273
3274
PORTABILITY:
3275
3276
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3277
installation easier.
3278
3279
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3280
supported).
3281
3282
3283
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3284
3285
ENHANCEMENTS:
3286
3287
* First public release.
3288
3289
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
3290
diff, status, etc.
