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
42
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
43
can be slow it is useful feedback).
44
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
45
46
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
47
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
48
49
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
50
output. (Aaron Bentley)
51
52
INTERNALS:
53
54
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
55
56
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
57
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
58
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
59
60
TESTING:
61
62
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
63
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
64
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
65
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
66
67
BUGFIXES:
68
69
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
70
authentication header.
71
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
72
73
74
bzr 0.17 2007-06-18
75
76
BUGFIXES:
77
78
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
79
(Colin Watson, #120647)
80
81
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
82
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
83
84
85
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
86
87
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
88
89
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
90
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
91
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
92
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
93
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
94
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
95
and unlock() like so::
96
97
work_tree.lock_read()
98
try:
99
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
100
finally:
101
work_tree.unlock()
102
103
INTERNALS:
104
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
105
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
106
object.
107
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
108
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
109
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
110
111
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
112
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
113
too. (Robert Collins)
114
115
IMPROVEMENTS:
116
117
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
118
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
119
Aaron Bentley)
120
121
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
122
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
123
124
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
125
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
126
127
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
128
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
129
understanding what changes have occurred
130
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
131
132
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
133
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
134
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
135
136
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
137
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
138
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
139
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
140
141
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
142
#56322)
143
144
BUGFIXES:
145
146
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
147
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
148
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
149
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
150
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
151
152
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
153
based on split paths, not just string paths.
154
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
155
156
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
157
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
158
159
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
160
into account.
161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
162
163
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
164
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
165
166
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
167
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
168
169
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
170
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
171
172
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
173
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
174
175
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
176
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
177
178
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
179
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
180
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
181
182
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
183
184
BUGFIXES:
185
186
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
187
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
188
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
189
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
190
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
191
192
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
193
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
194
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
195
196
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
197
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
198
199
IMPROVEMENTS:
200
201
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
202
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
203
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
204
205
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
206
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
207
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
208
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
209
210
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
211
212
BUGFIXES:
213
214
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
215
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
216
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
217
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
218
219
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
220
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
221
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
222
223
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
224
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
225
226
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
227
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
228
229
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
230
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
231
232
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
233
234
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
235
236
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
237
it could be recovered again.
238
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
239
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
240
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
241
but not delete it.
242
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
243
files.
244
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
245
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
246
247
IMPROVEMENTS:
248
249
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
250
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
251
252
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
253
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
254
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
255
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
256
257
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
258
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
259
260
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
261
tests with names that match that regular expression.
262
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
263
264
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
265
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
266
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
267
268
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
269
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
270
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
271
272
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
273
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
274
Robert Collins)
275
276
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
277
Pool)
278
279
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
280
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
281
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
282
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
283
284
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
285
(Robert Collins)
286
287
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
288
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
289
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
290
(Robert Collins)
291
292
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
293
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
294
295
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
296
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
297
298
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
299
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
300
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
301
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
302
(Robert Collins)
303
304
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
305
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
306
307
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
308
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
309
310
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
311
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
312
(Robert Collins, #107125).
313
314
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
315
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
316
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
317
318
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
319
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
320
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
321
322
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
323
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
324
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
325
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
326
327
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
328
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
329
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
330
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
331
332
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
333
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
334
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
335
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
336
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
337
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
338
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
339
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
340
header(s).
341
(Vincent Ladeuil).
342
343
INTERNALS:
344
345
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
346
code paths. (Robert Collins)
347
348
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
349
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
350
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
351
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
352
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
353
354
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
355
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
356
357
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
358
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
359
360
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
361
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
362
363
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
364
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
365
366
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
367
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
368
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
369
(Robert Collins).
370
371
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
372
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
373
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
374
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
375
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
376
(Robert Collins)
377
378
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
379
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
380
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
381
382
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
383
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
384
(Vincent Ladeuil).
385
386
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
387
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
388
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
389
(Vincent Ladeuil).
390
391
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
392
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
393
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
394
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
395
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
396
397
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
398
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
399
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
400
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
401
402
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
403
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
404
405
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
406
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
407
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
408
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
409
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
410
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
411
412
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
413
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
414
415
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
416
help. (Robert Collins)
417
418
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
419
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
420
421
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
422
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
423
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
424
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
425
(John Arbash Meinel)
426
427
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
428
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
429
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
430
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
431
useful. (Robert Collins)
432
433
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
434
(Andrew Bennetts)
435
436
BUGFIXES:
437
438
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
439

* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
442
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
443
444
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
445
properly and is no longer beneficial.
446
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
447
448
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
449
(Aaron Bentley)
450
451
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
452
the file, and does it faster.
453
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
454
455
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
456
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
457
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
458
459
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
460
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
461
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
462
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
463
464
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
465
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
466
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
467
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
468
469
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
470
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
471
472
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
473
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
474
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
475
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
476
Arbash Meinel)
477
478
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
479
480
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
481
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
482
483
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
484
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
485
486
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
487
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
488
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
489
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
490
security hole.
491
(Vincent Ladeuil)
492
493
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
494
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
495
496
TESTING:
497
498
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
499
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
500
in running it. (Robert Collins)
501
502
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
503
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
504
505
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
506
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
507
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
508
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
509
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
510
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
511
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
512
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
513
514
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
515
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
516
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
517
518
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
519
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
520
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
521
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
522
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
523
access.
524
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
525
526
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
527
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
528
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
529
530
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
531
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
548
549
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
550
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
551
(Martin Pool)
552
553
IMPROVEMENTS:
554
555
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
556
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
557
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
558
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
559
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
560
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
561
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
562
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
563
path. (vila)
564
565
INTERNALS:
566
567
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
568
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
569
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
570
571
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
572
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
573
(Martin Pool)
574
575
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
576
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
577
(John Arbash Meinel)
578
579
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
580
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
581
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
582
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
583
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
584
585
BUGFIXES:
586
587
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
588
(vila, #92195)
589
590
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
591
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
592
593
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
594
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
595
596
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
597
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
598
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
599
600
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
601
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
602
603
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
604
last-changed-revision for directories. The
605
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
606
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
607
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
608
609
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
610
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
611
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
612
613
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
617
618
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
619
620
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
621
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
622
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
623
624
IMPROVEMENTS:
625
626
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
627
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
628
629
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
630
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
631
632
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
633
634
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
635
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
636
637
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
638
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
639
640
INTERNALS:
641
642
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
643
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
644
645
BUGFIXES:
646
647
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
648
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
649
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
650
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
651
652
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
653
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
654
655
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
656
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
657
658
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
659
(Marien Zwart)
660
661
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
662
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
663
664
665
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
666
667
SURPRISES:
668
669
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
670
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
671
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
672
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
673
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
674
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
675
676
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
677
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
678
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
679
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
680
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
681
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
682
development.
683
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
684
685
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
686
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
687
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
688
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
689
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
690
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
691
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
692
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
693
694
IMPROVEMENTS:
695
696
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
697
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
698
699
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
700
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
701
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
702
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
703
does exist.
704
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
705
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
706
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
707
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
708
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
709
710
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
711
(Aaron Bentley)
712
713
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
714
(Aaron Bentley)
715
716
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
717
(Robert Collins)
718
719
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
720
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
721
(Aaron Bentley)
722
723
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
724
(Aaron Bentley)
725
726
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
727
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
728
729
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
730
directory. (Martin Pool)
731
732
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
733
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
734
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
735
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
736
737
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
738
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
739
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
740
in docs/configuration.txt.
741
742
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
743
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
744
bind location.
745
746
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
747
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
748
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
749
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
750
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
751
repositories. (Martin Pool)
752
753
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
754
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
755
756
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
757
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
758
759
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
760
(Aaron Bentley)
761
762
INTERNALS:
763
764
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
765
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
766
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
767
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
768
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
769
(John Arbash Meinel)
770
771
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
772
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
773
(Aaron Bentley)
774
775
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
776
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
777
(John Arbash Meinel)
778
779
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
780
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
781
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
782
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
783
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
784
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
785
786
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
787
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
788
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
789
790
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
791
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
792
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
793
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
794
repository.
795
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
796
797
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
798
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
799
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
800
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
801
802
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
803
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
804
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
805
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
806
807
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
808
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
809
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
810
811
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
812
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
813
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
814
815
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
816
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
817
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
818
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
819
820
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
821
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
822
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
823
824
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
825
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
826
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
827
828
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
829
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
830
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
831
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
832
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
833
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
834
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
835
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
836
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

838
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
839
840
BUGFIXES:
841
842
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
843
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
844
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
845
846
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
847
(Aaron Bentley)
848
849
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
850
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
851
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
852
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)

* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
855
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,

#83954).
857
858
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches

the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
921
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
922
923
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
924
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
925
926
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
927
(Aaron Bentley)
928
929
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
930
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
931
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
932
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
933
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
934
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
935
936
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
937
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
938
should enable you to do::
939
940
[/home/user/project]
941
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
942
push_location:policy = appendpath
943
944
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
945
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
946
(James Henstridge)
947
948
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
949
for each file. For example::
950
951
$ bzr status --short
952
A foo
953
A bar
954
D baz
955
? wooley
956
957
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
958
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
959
960
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
961
962
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
963
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
964
965
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
966
967
INTERNALS:
968
969
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
970
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
971
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
972
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
973
974
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
975
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
976
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
977
978
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
979
980
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
981
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
982
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
983
(Alexander Belchenko)
984
985
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
986
Pool)
987
988
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
989
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
990
991
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
992
993
BUG FIXES:
994
995
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
996
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
997
998
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
999
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1000
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1001
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1002
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1003
1004
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1005
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1006
1007
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1008
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1009
1010
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1011
matcher.
1012
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1013
1014
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1015
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1016
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1017
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1018
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1019
1020
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1021
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1022
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1023
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1024
1025
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1026
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1027
1028
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1029
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1030
1031
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1032
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1033
1034
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1045
1046
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1047
tree from a branch.
1048
(Daniel Silverstone)
1049
1050
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1051
operations are substantially faster.
1052
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1053
1054
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1055
tree from some other url. For example:
1056
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1057
(Daniel Silverstone)
1058
1059
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1060
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1061
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1062
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1063
1064
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1065
(Andrew Bennetts)
1066
1067
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1068
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1069
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1070
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1071
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1072
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1073
1074
INTERNALS:
1075
1076
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1077
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1078
(Martin Pool)
1079
1080
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1081
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1082
(John Arbash Meinel)
1083
1084
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1085
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1086
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1087
(John Arbash Meinel)
1088
1089
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1090
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1091
1092
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1093
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1094
1095
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1096
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1097
Bennetts)
1098
1099
BUG FIXES:
1100
1101
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1102
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1103
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1104
1105
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1106
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1107
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1108
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1109
1110
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1111
1112
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1113
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1114
1115
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1116
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1117
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1119
1120
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1121
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1122
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1123
1124
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1125
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1126
them as full references rather than integers.
1127
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1128
1129
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1130
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1131
1132
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1133
1134
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1135
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1136
1137
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1138
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1139
1140
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1141
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1142
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1143
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1144
1145
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1146
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1147
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1148
1149
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1150
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1151
1152
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1153
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1154
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1155
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1156
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1157
1158
TESTING:
1159
1160
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1161
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1162
1163
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1164
1165
INTERNALS:
1166
1167
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1168
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1169
(John Arbash Meinel)
1170
1171
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1172
1173
IMPROVEMENTS:
1174
1175
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1176
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1177
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1178
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1179
1180
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1181
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1182
1183
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1184
1185
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1186
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1187
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1188
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1189
1190
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1191
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1192
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1193
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1194
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1195
1196
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1197
1198
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1199
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1200
1201
INTERNALS:
1202
1203
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1204
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1205
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1206
1207
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1208
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1209
(John Arbash Meinel)
1210
1211
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1212
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1213
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1214
1215
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1216
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1217
(Aaron Bentley)
1218
1219
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1220
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1221
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1222
1223
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1224
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1225
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1226
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1227
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1228
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1229
1230
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1231
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1232
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1233
(Robert Collins)
1234
1235
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1236
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1237
1238
BUG FIXES:
1239
1240
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1241
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1242
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1243
#63360, #66349)
1244
1245
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1246
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1247
1248
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1249
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1250
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1251
1252
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1253
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1254
1255
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1256
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1257
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1258
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1259
1260
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1261
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1262
1263
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1264
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1265
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1266
1267
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1268
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1269
1270
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1271
1272
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1273
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1274
#32054)
1275
1276
TESTING:
1277
1278
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1279
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1280
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1281
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1282
1283
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1284
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1285
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1286
1287
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

1291
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1292
1293
BUG FIXES:
1294
1295
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1296
1297
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1298
Arbash Meinel).
1299
1300
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1301
1302
IMPROVEMENTS:
1303
1304
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1305
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1306
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1307
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1308
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1309
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1310
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1311
1312
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1313
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1314
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1315
1316
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1317
1318
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1319
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1320
1321
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1322
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1323
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1324
(Robert Collins)
1325
1326
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1327
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1328
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1329
(John Arbash Meinel)
1330
1331
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1332
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1333
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1334
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1335
Pool)
1336
1337
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1338
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1339
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1340
(John Arbash Meinel)
1341
1342
BUG FIXES:
1343
1344
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1345
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1346
1347
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1348
1349
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1350
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1351
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1352
1353
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1354
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1355
1356
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1357
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1358
1359
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1360
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1361
1362
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1363
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1364
1365
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1366
1367
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1368
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1369
1370
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1371
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1372
1373
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1374
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1375
1376
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1377
(John Arbash Meinel)
1378
1379
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1380
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1381
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1382
1383
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1384
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1385
1386
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1387
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1388
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1389
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1390
1391
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1392
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1393
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1394
1395
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1396
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1397
1398
PORTABILITY:
1399
1400
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1401
1402
INTERNALS:
1403
1404
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1405
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1406
(John Arbash Meinel)
1407
1408
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1409
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1410
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1411
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1412
1413
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1414
(Andrew Bennetts)
1415
1416
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1417
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1418
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1419
1420
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1421
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1422
1423
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1424
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1425
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1426
1427
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1428
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1429
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1430
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1431
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1432
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1433
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1434
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1435
caller to repeat their request.
1436
(John Arbash Meinel)
1437
1438
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1439
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1440
1441
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1442
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1443
1444
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1445
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1446
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1447
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1448
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1449
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1450
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1451
1452
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1453
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1454
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1455
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1456
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1457
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1458
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1459
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1460
(Robert Collins)
1461
1462
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1463
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1464
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1465
1466
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1467
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1468
1469
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1470
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1471
1472
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1473
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1474
1475
TESTING:
1476
1477
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1478
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1479
1480
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1481
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1482
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1483
1484
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1485
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1486
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1487
1488
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1489
1490
IMPROVEMENTS:
1491
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1492
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1493
1494
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1495
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1496
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1497
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1498
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1499
1500
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1501
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1502
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1503
1504
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1505
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1506
1507
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1508
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1509
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1510
1511
BUG FIXES:
1512
1513
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1514
1515
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1516
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1517
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1518
1519
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1520
1521
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1522
1523
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1524
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1525
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1526
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1527
1528
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1529
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1530
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1531
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1532
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1533
1534
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1535
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1536
1537
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1538
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1539
1540
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1541
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1542
1543
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1544
in handling of revision properties.
1545
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1546
1547
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1548
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1549
1550
INTERNALS:
1551
1552
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1553
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1554
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1555
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1556
(John Arbash Meinel)
1557
1558
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1559
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1560
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1561
1562
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1563
1564
SURPRISES:
1565
1566
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1567
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1568
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1569
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1570
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1571
a more conservative list than the old default.
1572
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1573
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1574
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1575
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1576
1577
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1578
to more locations than just branch locations.
1579
(Aaron Bentley)
1580
1581
IMPROVEMENTS:
1582
1583
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1584
revno:N:branch. For example,
1585
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1586
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1587
1588
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1589
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1590
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1591
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1592
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1593
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1594
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1595
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1596
#42517, #42514)
1597
1598
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1599
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1600
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1601
(Malone #3507)
1602
1603
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1604
(Alexander Belchenko)
1605
1606
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1607
1608
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1609
(Robert Collins).
1610
1611
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1612
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1613
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1614
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1615
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1616
(John Arbash Meinel)
1617
1618
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1619
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1620
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1621
grained analysis of performance.
1622
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1623
1624
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1625
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1626
1627
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1628
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1629
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1630
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1631
file. (Robert Collins).
1632
1633
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1634
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1635
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1636
1637
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1638
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1639
Matthieu Moy)
1640
1641
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1642
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1643
1644
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1645
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1646
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1647
the same way you would apply another branch.
1648
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1649
1650
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1651
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1652
1653
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1654
(Michael Ellerman)
1655
1656
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1657
(Aaron Bentley)
1658
1659
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1660
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1661
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1662
1663
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1664
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1665
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1666
1667
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1668
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1669
1670
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1671
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1672
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1673
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1674
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1675
1676
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1677
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1678
1679
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1680
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1681
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1682
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1683
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1684
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1685
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1686
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1687
1688
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1689
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1690
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1691
1692
BUG FIXES:
1693
1694
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1695
tests not to run.
1696
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1697
1698
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1699
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1700
1701
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1702
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1703
1704
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1705
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1706
1707
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1708
1709
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1710
(John Arbash Meinel)
1711
1712
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1713
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1714
1715
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1716
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1717
and y.
1718
1719
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1720
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1721
1722
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1723
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1724
1725
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1726
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1727
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1728
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1729
1730
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1731
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1732
1733
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1734
1735
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1736
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1737
1738
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1739
1740
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1741
1742
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1743
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1744
1745
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1746
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1747
1748
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1749
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1750
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1751
1752
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1753
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1754
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1755
1756
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1757
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1758
1759
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1760
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1761
1762
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1763
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1764
1765
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1766
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1767
1768
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1769
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1770
1771
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1772
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1773
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1774
1775
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1776
1777
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1778
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1779
1780
INTERNALS:
1781
1782
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1783
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1784
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1785
1786
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1787
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1788
1789
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1790
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1791
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1792
1793
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1794
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1795
1796
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1797
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1798
(Martin Pool)
1799
1800
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1801
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1802
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1803
1804
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1805
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1806
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1807
1808
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1809
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1810
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1811
1812
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1813
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1814
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1815
1816
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1817
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1818
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1819
1820
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1821
instead. (Robert Collins)
1822
1823
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

1835
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1836
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1837
1838
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1839
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1840
1841
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1842
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

1845
CHANGES:
1846
1847
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1848
1849
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1850
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1851
1852
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1853
1854
CHANGES:
1855
1856
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1857
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1858
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1859
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1860
1861
NEW FEATURES:
1862
1863
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1864
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1865
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1866
1867
INTERNALS:
1868
1869
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1870
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1871
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1872
1873
TESTING:
1874
1875
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1876
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1877
1878
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1879
1880
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1881
1882
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1883
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1884
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1885
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1886
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1887
will keep the same format.
1888
1889
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1890
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1891
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1892
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1893
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1894
1895
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1896
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1897
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1898
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1899
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1900
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1901
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1902
1903
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1904
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1905
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1906
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1907
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1908
1909
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1910
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1911
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1912
arrangement.
1913
1914
1915
IMPROVEMENTS:
1916
1917
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1918
convention. Paths now take the form::
1919
1920
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1921
or
1922
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1923
1924
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1925
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1926
1927
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1928
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1929
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1930
1931
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1932
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1933
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1934
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1935
1936
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1937
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1938
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1939
1940
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1941
1942
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1943
1944
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1945
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1946
commits::
1947
1948
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1949
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1950
| xargs bzr re-sign
1951
1952
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1953
1954
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1955
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1956
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1957
(Robert Collins)
1958
1959
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1960
1961
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1962
1963
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1964
'.moved'.
1965
1966
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1967
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1968
1969
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1970
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1971
Daniel Silverstone)
1972
1973
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1974
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1975
Martin Pool)
1976
1977
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1978
1979
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1980
1981
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1982
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1983
1984
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1985
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1986
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1987
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1988
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1989
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1990
1991
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1992
1993
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1994
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1995
(Robert Collins)
1996
1997
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1998
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1999
2000
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2001
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2002
2003
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2004
2005
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2006
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2007
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2008
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2009
specification by Martin Pool.
2010
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2011
2012
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2013
Belchenko)
2014
2015
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2016
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2017
2018
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2019
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2020
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2021
2022
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2023
2024
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2025
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2026
(Robert Collins)
2027
2028
CHANGES:
2029
2030
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2031
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2032
2033
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2034
2035
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2036
2037
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2038
(Olaf Conradi)
2039
2040
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2041
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2042
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2043
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2044
2045
INTERNALS:
2046
2047
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2048
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2049
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2050
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2051
2052
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2053
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2054
tried. (Martin Pool)
2055
2056
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2057
(Martin Pool)
2058
2059
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2060
2061
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2062
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2063
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2064
2065
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2066
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2067
2068
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2069
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2070
paths. (Robert Collins)
2071
2072
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2073
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2074
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2075
2076
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2077
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2078
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2079
2080
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2081
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2082
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2083
2084
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2085
(Olaf Conradi)
2086
2087
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2088
(Olaf Conradi)
2089
2090
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2091
2092
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2093
2094
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2095
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2096
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2097
(Robert Collins)
2098
2099
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2100
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2101
2102
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2103
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2104
check. (Robert Collins)
2105
2106
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2107
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2108
2109
TESTING:
2110
2111
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2112
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2113
2114
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2115
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2116
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2117
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2118
2119
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2120
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2121
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2122
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2123
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2124
2125
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2126
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2127
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2128
2129
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2130
2131
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2132
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2135
2136
CHANGES:
2137
2138
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2139
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2140
2141
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2142
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2143
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2144
(Johan Rydberg)
2145
2146
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2147
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2148
2149
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2150
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2151
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2152
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2153
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2154
2155
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2156
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2157
used. (Robert Collins)
2158
2159
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2160
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2161
(James Henstridge)
2162
2163
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2164
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2165
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2166
2167
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2168
ignore list.
2169
2170
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2171
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2172
2173
IMPROVEMENTS:
2174
2175
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2176
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2177
2178
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2179
2180
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2181
2182
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2183
tree. (Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2186
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2187
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2188
(Robert Collins)
2189
2190
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2191
that they be kept.
2192
2193
* Tweaks to short log printing
2194
2195
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2196
(Aaron Bentley)
2197
2198
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2199
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2200
2201
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2202
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2203
2204
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2205
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2206
2207
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2208
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2209
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2210
2211
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2212
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2213
2214
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2215
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2216
requests.
2217
2218
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2219
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2220
2221
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2222
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2223
2224
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2225
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2226
2227
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2228
(Denys Duchier)
2229
2230
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2231
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2232
2233
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2234
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2235
2236
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2237
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2238
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2239
2240
BUG FIXES:
2241
2242
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2243
2244
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2245
2246
* Error when run with -OO
2247
2248
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2249
(Martin Pool)
2250
2251
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2252
2253
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2254
2255
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2256
ignored by diff and status
2257
2258
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2259
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2260
2261
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2262
2263
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2264
2265
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2266
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2267
2268
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2269
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2270
2271
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2272
(Harald Meland)
2273
2274
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2275
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2276
2277
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2278
2279
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2280
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2281
2282
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2283
(Martin Pool)
2284
2285
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2286
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2287
2288
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2289
2290
TESTING:
2291
2292
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2293
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2294
2295
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2296
2297
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2298
2299
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2300
2301
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2302
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2303
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2304
2305
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2306
2307
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2308
(John Arbash Meinel)
2309
2310
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2311
2312
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2313
If adding a new test script please add that to
2314
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2315
2316
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2317
imported. (Martin Pool)
2318
2319
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2320
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2321
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2322
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2323
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2324
(Robert Collins)
2325
2326
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2327
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2328
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2329
2330
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2331
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2332
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2333
2334
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2335
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2336
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2337
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2338
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2339
(Robert Collins).
2340
2341
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2342
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2343
(Robert Collins).
2344
2345
INTERNALS:
2346
2347
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2348
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2349
2350
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2351
function. (Robert Collins)
2352
2353
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2354
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2355
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2358
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2359
(Robert Collins)
2360
2361
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2362
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2363
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2364
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2365
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2366
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2367
version. (Robert Collins)
2368
2369
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2370
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2371
2372
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2373
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2374
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2375
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2376
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2377
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2378
2379
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2380
(Robert Collins)
2381
2382
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2383
2384
add()
2385
commit()
2386
move()
2387
rename_one()
2388
unknowns()
2389
2390
(Robert Collins)
2391
2392
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2393
2394
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2395
2396
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2397
Pool)
2398
2399
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2400
query method. (Robert Collins)
2401
2402
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2403
(Denys Duchier)
2404
2405
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2406
(Michael Ellerman)
2407
2408
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2409
(Michael Ellerman)
2410
2411
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2412
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2413
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2414
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2415
2416
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2417
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2418
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2419
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2420
2421
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2422
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2423
2424
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28

2426
IMPROVEMENTS:
2427
2428
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2429
(John A Meinel)
2430
2431
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2432
conflicts.
2433
(Aaron Bentley)
2434
2435
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2436
a separator, not ':'.
2437
(Aaron Bentley)
2438
2439
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2440
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2441
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2442
2443
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2444
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2445
(Robert Collins)
2446
2447
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2448
has been added that suppresses all output.
2449
2450
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2451
Adams.
2452
2453
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2454
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2455
2456
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2457
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2458
2459
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2460
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2461
2462
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2463
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2464
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2465
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2468
2469
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2470
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2471
2472
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2473
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2474
2475
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2476
output directory, if one was supplied.
2477
2478
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2479
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2480
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2481
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2482
2483
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2484
2485
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2486
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2489
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2490
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2491
2492
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2493
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2494
2495
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2496
(Aaron Bentley)
2497
2498
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2499
2500
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2501
2502
TESTING:
2503
2504
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2505
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2506
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2507
2508
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2509
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2510
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2511
2512
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2513
is given. (Martin Pool)
2514
2515
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2516
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2517
file. (Robert Collins)
2518
2519
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2520
(Martin Pool)
2521
2522
INTERNALS:
2523
2524
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2525
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2526
representation. (Martin Pool).
2527
2528
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2529
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2530
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2531
2532
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2533
(Robert Collins)
2534
2535
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2536
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2537
Magnus Therning.
2538
2539
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2540
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2541
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2542
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2543
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2544
2545
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2546
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2547
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2548
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2549
python path. (Robert Collins)
2550
2551
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2552
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2553
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2554
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2555
2556
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2557
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2558
2559
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2560
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2561
(Robert Collins)
2562
2563
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2564
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2565
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2566
2567
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2568
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2569
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2570
2571
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2572
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2573
2574
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2575
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2576
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2577
(Robert Collins)
2578
2579
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2580
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2581
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2582
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2583
(Robert Collins)
2584
2585
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2586
(Robert Collins)
2587
2588
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2589
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2590
(Robert Collins)
2591
2592
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2593
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2594
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2595
2596
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2597
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2598
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2599
2600
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2601
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2602
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2603
2604
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2605
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2606
2607
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2608
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2609
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2610
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2611
caller. (Robert Collins)
2612
2613
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2614
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2615
(Robert Collins).
2616
2617
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2618
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2619
(Aaron Bentley)
2620
2621
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2622
2623
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2624
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2625
2626
BUG FIXES:
2627
2628
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2629
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2630
2631
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2632
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2633
2634
2635
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2636
2637
BUG FIXES:
2638
2639
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2640
allow directories to be listed.
2641
2642
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2643
upgrading branch format.
2644
2645
PERFORMANCE:
2646
2647
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2648
2649
2650
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2651
2652
NOTES:
2653
2654
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2655
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2656
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2657
high-latency connections.
2658
2659
BUG FIXES:
2660
2661
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2662
Rob Weir.
2663
2664
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2665
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2666
2667
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2668
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2669
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2670
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2671
2672
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2673
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2674
2675
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2676
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2677
2678
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2679
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2680
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2681
2682
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2683
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2684
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2685
Robert Collins
2686
2687
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2688
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2689
2690
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2691
different partial views of history.
2692
2693
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2694
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2695
2696
IMPROVEMENTS:
2697
2698
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2699
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2700
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2701
2702
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2703
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2704
'bzr upgrade'.
2705
2706
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2707
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2708
2709
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2710
Niemeyer.
2711
2712
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2713
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2714
2715
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2716
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2717
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2718
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2719
2720
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2721
2722
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2723
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2724
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2725
2726
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2727
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2728
2729
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2730
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2731
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2732
2733
2734
INTERNALS:
2735
2736
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2737
for your viewing pleasure.
2738
2739
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2740
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2741
2742
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2743
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2744
handling of such circumstances.
2745
2746
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2747
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2748
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2749
2750
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2751
2752
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2753
we call them revisions not patches.
2754
2755
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2756
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2757
2758
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2759
giving the revision *of that file*.
2760
2761
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2762
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2763
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2764
2765
TESTING:
2766
2767
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2768
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2769
2770
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2771
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2772
2773
2774
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2775
2776
BUG FIXES:
2777
2778
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2779
2780
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2781
(Robert Collins).
2782
2783
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2784
2785
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2786
2787
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2788
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2789
2790
IMPROVEMENTS:
2791
2792
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2793
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2794
2795
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2796
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2797
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2798
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2799
Robey Pointer
2800
2801
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2802
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2803
2804
INTERNALS:
2805
2806
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2807
2808
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2809
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2810
2811
2812
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2813
2814
IMPROVEMENTS:
2815
2816
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2817
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2818
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2819
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2820
Michael Ellerman.
2821
2822
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2823
(Nir Soffer)
2824
2825
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2826
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2827
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2828
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2829
for the operating system is still tried.
2830
2831
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2832
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2833
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2834
2835
2836
INTERNALS:
2837
2838
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2839
2840
BUG FIXES:
2841
2842
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2843
2844
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2845
branch.
2846
2847
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2848
read.
2849
2850
2851
PORTABILITY:
2852
2853
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2854
2855
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2856
2857
2858
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2859
2860
NEW FEATURES:
2861
2862
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2863
help with intelligent shell completion.
2864
2865
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2866
2867
2868
ENHANCEMENTS:
2869
2870
* Much better merge support.
2871
2872
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2873
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2874
like emacs smerge.
2875
2876
2877
BUG FIXES:
2878
2879
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2880
mention revisions that are not present.
2881
2882
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2883
2884
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2885
2886
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2887
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2888
2889
2890
CHANGES:
2891
2892
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2893
2894
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2895
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2896
--help themselves.
2897
2898
2899
LIBRARY:
2900
2901
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2902
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2903
libraries.
2904
2905
2906
2907
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2908
2909
NEW FEATURES:
2910
2911
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2912
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2913
2914
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2915
2916
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2917
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2918
2919
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2920
FOO.
2921
2922
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2923
2924
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2925
the Unix command.
2926
2927
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2928
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2929
2930
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2931
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2932
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2933
2934
2935
ENHANCEMENTS:
2936
2937
* Faster working tree operations.
2938
2939
2940
CHANGES:
2941
2942
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2943
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2944
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2945
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2946
2947
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2948
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2949
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2950
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2951
standard plugins directory.
2952
2953
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2954
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2955
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2956
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2957
2958
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2959
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2960
2961
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2962
disk.
2963
2964
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2965
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2966
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2967
2968
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2969
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2970
2971
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2972
line options must come before the command name because they
2973
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2974
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2975
it.
2976
2977
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2978
2979
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2980
is available with ``--short``.
2981
2982
2983
BUG FIXES:
2984
2985
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2986
2987
2988
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2989
2990
CHANGES:
2991
2992
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2993
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2994
2995
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2996
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2997
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2998
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2999
3000
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3001
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3002
with the ``--forward`` option.
3003
3004
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3005
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3006
field.
3007
3008
3009
ENHANCEMENTS:
3010
3011
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3012
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3013
3014
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3015
3016
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3017
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3018
3019
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3020
3021
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3022
either read or write mode.
3023
3024
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3025
3026
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3027
affected that file.
3028
3029
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3030
3031
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3032
suggested by LarstiQ.
3033
3034
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3035
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3036
3037
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3038
a filename.
3039
3040
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3041
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3042
3043
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3044
haven't changed since the previous time.
3045
3046
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3047
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3048
3049
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3050
3051
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3052
3053
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3054
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3055
3056
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3057
options through to an external GNU diff.
3058
3059
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3060
their contents.
3061
3062
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3063
from a branch.
3064
3065
3066
BUG FIXES:
3067
3068
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3069
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3070
3071
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3072
metacharacters.
3073
3074
3075
TESTING:
3076
3077
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3078
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3079
the tests.
3080
3081
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3082
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3083
3084
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3085
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3086
3087
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3088
under a different version.
3089
3090
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3091
3092
3093
INTERNAL:
3094
3095
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3096
3097
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3098
Scott James Remnant.
3099
3100
* Better help messages for many commands.
3101
3102
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3103
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3104
3105
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3106
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3107
3108
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3109
3110
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3111
3112
* New AtomicFile class.
3113
3114
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3115
3116
3117
PORTABILITY:
3118
3119
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3120
2.4 is now only recommended.
3121
3122
3123
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3124
3125
ENHANCEMENTS:
3126
3127
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3128
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3129
3130
* More default ignore patterns.
3131
3132
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3133
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3134
3135
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3136
3137
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3138
by Jason Diamon.
3139
3140
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3141
3142
3143
CHANGES:
3144
3145
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3146
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3147
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3148
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3149
there are DNS problems.
3150
3151
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3152
3153
3154
BUG FIXES:
3155
3156
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3157
3158
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3159
3160
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3161
trailing newlines properly.
3162
3163
3164
INTERNAL:
3165
3166
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3167
Matt Brubeck.
3168
3169
* More tests in test.sh.
3170
3171
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3172
directory and delete it when done.
3173
3174
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3175
3176
3177
PORTABILITY:
3178
3179
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3180
Bennetts.
3181
3182
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3183
from QuantumG.
3184
3185
3186
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3187
3188
ENHANCEMENTS:
3189
3190
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3191
in the tree.
3192
3193
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3194
3195
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3196
and/or directory.
3197
3198
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3199
directory.
3200
3201
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3202
3203
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3204
3205
CHANGES:
3206
3207
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3208
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3209
will do for now.)
3210
3211
PORTABILITY:
3212
3213
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3214
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3215
Nielsen.
3216
3217
INTERNAL:
3218
3219
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3220
3221
TESTING:
3222
3223
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3224
3225
3226
bzr-0.0.2.1

3231
3232
3233
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3234
3235
ENHANCEMENTS:
3236
3237
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3238
3239
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3240
rather than replacing it.
3241
3242
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3243
3244
* More help topics.
3245
3246
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3247
branch.
3248
3249
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3250
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3251
3252
* Performance improvements.
3253
3254
* New global --profile option.
3255
3256
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3257
the root directory only.
3258
3259
3260
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3261
3262
ENHANCEMENTS:
3263
3264
* More information from info command.
3265
3266
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3267
3268
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3269
committing to stores.
3270
3271
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3272
3273
BUG FIXES:
3274
3275
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3276
3277
PORTABILITY:
3278
3279
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3280
installation easier.
3281
3282
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3283
supported).
3284
3285
3286
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3287
3288
ENHANCEMENTS:
3289
3290
* First public release.
3291
3292
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
3293
diff, status, etc.
