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

BUGFIXES:
445
446
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
447
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
448
449
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
450
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
451
452
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
453
properly and is no longer beneficial.
454
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
455
456
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
457
(Aaron Bentley)
458
459
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
460
the file, and does it faster.
461
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
462
463
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
464
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
465
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
466
467
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
468
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
469
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
470
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
471
472
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
473
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
474
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
475
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
476
477
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
478
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
479
480
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
481
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
482
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
483
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
484
Arbash Meinel)
485
486
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
487
488
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
489
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
490
491
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
492
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
493
494
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
495
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
496
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
497
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
498
security hole.
499
(Vincent Ladeuil)
500
501
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
503
504
TESTING:
505
506
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
507
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
508
in running it. (Robert Collins)
509
510
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
511
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
512
513
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
514
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
515
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
516
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
517
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
518
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
519
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
520
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
521
522
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
523
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
524
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
525
526
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
527
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
528
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
529
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
530
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
531
access.
532
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
533
534
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
535
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
536
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
537
538
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
539
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
556
557
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
558
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
559
(Martin Pool)
560
561
IMPROVEMENTS:
562
563
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
564
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
565
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
566
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
567
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
568
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
569
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
570
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
571
path. (vila)
572
573
INTERNALS:
574
575
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
576
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
577
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
578
579
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
580
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
581
(Martin Pool)
582
583
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
584
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
585
(John Arbash Meinel)
586
587
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
588
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
589
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
590
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
591
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
592
593
BUGFIXES:
594
595
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
596
(vila, #92195)
597
598
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
599
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
600
601
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
602
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
603
604
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
605
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
606
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
607
608
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
609
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
610
611
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
612
last-changed-revision for directories. The
613
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
614
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
615
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
616
617
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
618
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
619
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
620
621
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

624
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
625
626
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
627
628
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
629
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
630
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
631
632
IMPROVEMENTS:
633
634
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
635
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
636
637
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
638
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
639
640
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
641
642
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
643
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
644
645
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
646
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
647
648
INTERNALS:
649
650
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
651
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
652
653
BUGFIXES:
654
655
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
656
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
657
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
658
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
659
660
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
661
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
662
663
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
664
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
665
666
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
667
(Marien Zwart)
668
669
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
670
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
671
672
673
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
674
675
SURPRISES:
676
677
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
678
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
679
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
680
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
681
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
682
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
683
684
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
685
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
686
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
687
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
688
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
689
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
690
development.
691
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
692
693
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
694
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
695
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
696
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
697
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
698
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
699
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
700
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
701
702
IMPROVEMENTS:
703
704
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
705
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
706
707
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
708
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
709
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
710
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
711
does exist.
712
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
713
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
714
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
715
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
716
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
717
718
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
719
(Aaron Bentley)
720
721
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
722
(Aaron Bentley)
723
724
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
725
(Robert Collins)
726
727
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
728
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
729
(Aaron Bentley)
730
731
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
732
(Aaron Bentley)
733
734
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
735
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
736
737
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
738
directory. (Martin Pool)
739
740
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
741
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
742
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
743
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
744
745
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
746
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
747
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
748
in docs/configuration.txt.
749
750
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
751
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
752
bind location.
753
754
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
755
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
756
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
757
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
758
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
759
repositories. (Martin Pool)
760
761
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
762
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
763
764
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
765
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
766
767
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
768
(Aaron Bentley)
769
770
INTERNALS:
771
772
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
773
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
774
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
775
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
776
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
777
(John Arbash Meinel)
778
779
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
780
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
781
(Aaron Bentley)
782
783
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
784
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
785
(John Arbash Meinel)
786
787
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
788
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
789
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
790
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
791
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
792
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
793
794
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
795
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
796
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
797
798
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
799
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
800
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
801
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
802
repository.
803
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
804
805
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
806
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
807
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
808
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
809
810
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
811
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
812
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
813
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
814
815
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
816
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
817
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
818
819
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
820
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
821
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
822
823
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
824
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
825
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
826
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
827
828
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
829
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
830
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
831
832
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
833
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
834
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
835
836
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
837
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
838
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
839
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
840
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
841
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
842
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
843
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
844
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
847
848
BUGFIXES:
849
850
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
851
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
852
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
853
854
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
855
(Aaron Bentley)
856
857
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
858
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
859
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
860
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)

protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
921
server, then you can write over the http connection.
922
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
923
924
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
925
(Marius Kruger)
926
927
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
928
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
929
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
930
931
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
932
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
933
934
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
935
(Aaron Bentley)
936
937
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
938
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
939
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
940
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
941
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
942
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
943
944
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
945
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
946
should enable you to do::
947
948
[/home/user/project]
949
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
950
push_location:policy = appendpath
951
952
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
953
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
954
(James Henstridge)
955
956
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
957
for each file. For example::
958
959
$ bzr status --short
960
A foo
961
A bar
962
D baz
963
? wooley
964
965
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
966
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
967
968
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
969
970
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
971
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
972
973
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
974
975
INTERNALS:
976
977
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
978
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
979
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
980
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
981
982
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
983
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
984
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
985
986
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
987
988
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
989
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
990
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
991
(Alexander Belchenko)
992
993
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
994
Pool)
995
996
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
997
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
998
999
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1000
1001
BUG FIXES:
1002
1003
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1004
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1005
1006
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1007
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1008
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1009
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1010
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1011
1012
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1013
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1014
1015
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1016
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1017
1018
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1019
matcher.
1020
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1021
1022
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1023
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1024
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1025
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1026
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1027
1028
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1029
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1030
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1031
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1032
1033
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1034
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1035
1036
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1037
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1038
1039
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1040
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1041
1042
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1053
1054
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1055
tree from a branch.
1056
(Daniel Silverstone)
1057
1058
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1059
operations are substantially faster.
1060
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1061
1062
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1063
tree from some other url. For example:
1064
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1065
(Daniel Silverstone)
1066
1067
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1068
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1069
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1070
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1071
1072
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1073
(Andrew Bennetts)
1074
1075
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1076
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1077
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1078
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1079
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1080
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1081
1082
INTERNALS:
1083
1084
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1085
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1086
(Martin Pool)
1087
1088
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1089
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1090
(John Arbash Meinel)
1091
1092
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1093
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1094
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1095
(John Arbash Meinel)
1096
1097
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1098
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1099
1100
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1101
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1102
1103
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1104
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1105
Bennetts)
1106
1107
BUG FIXES:
1108
1109
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1110
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1111
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1112
1113
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1114
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1115
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1116
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1117
1118
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1119
1120
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1121
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1122
1123
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1124
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1125
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1127
1128
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1129
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1130
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1131
1132
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1133
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1134
them as full references rather than integers.
1135
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1136
1137
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1138
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1139
1140
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1141
1142
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1143
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1144
1145
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1146
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1147
1148
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1149
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1150
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1151
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1152
1153
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1154
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1155
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1156
1157
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1158
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1159
1160
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1161
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1162
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1163
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1164
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1165
1166
TESTING:
1167
1168
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1169
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1170
1171
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1172
1173
INTERNALS:
1174
1175
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1176
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1177
(John Arbash Meinel)
1178
1179
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1180
1181
IMPROVEMENTS:
1182
1183
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1184
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1185
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1186
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1187
1188
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1189
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1190
1191
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1192
1193
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1194
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1195
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1196
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1197
1198
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1199
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1200
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1201
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1202
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1203
1204
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1205
1206
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1207
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1208
1209
INTERNALS:
1210
1211
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1212
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1213
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1214
1215
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1216
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1217
(John Arbash Meinel)
1218
1219
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1220
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1221
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1222
1223
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1224
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1225
(Aaron Bentley)
1226
1227
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1228
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1229
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1230
1231
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1232
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1233
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1234
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1235
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1236
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1237
1238
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1239
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1240
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1241
(Robert Collins)
1242
1243
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1244
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1245
1246
BUG FIXES:
1247
1248
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1249
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1250
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1251
#63360, #66349)
1252
1253
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1254
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1255
1256
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1257
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1258
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1259
1260
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1261
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1262
1263
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1264
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1265
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1266
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1267
1268
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1269
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1270
1271
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1272
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1273
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1274
1275
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1276
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1277
1278
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1279
1280
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1281
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1282
#32054)
1283
1284
TESTING:
1285
1286
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1287
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1288
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1289
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1290
1291
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1292
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1293
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1294
1295
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1300
1301
BUG FIXES:
1302
1303
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1304
1305
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1306
Arbash Meinel).
1307
1308
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1309
1310
IMPROVEMENTS:
1311
1312
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1313
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1314
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1315
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1316
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1317
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1318
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1319
1320
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1321
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1322
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1323
1324
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1325
1326
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1327
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1328
1329
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1330
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1331
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1332
(Robert Collins)
1333
1334
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1335
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1336
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1337
(John Arbash Meinel)
1338
1339
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1340
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1341
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1342
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1343
Pool)
1344
1345
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1346
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1347
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1348
(John Arbash Meinel)
1349
1350
BUG FIXES:
1351
1352
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1353
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1354
1355
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1356
1357
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1358
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1359
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1360
1361
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1362
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1363
1364
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1365
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1366
1367
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1369
1370
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1371
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1372
1373
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1374
1375
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1376
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1377
1378
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1379
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1380
1381
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1382
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1383
1384
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1385
(John Arbash Meinel)
1386
1387
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1388
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1389
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1390
1391
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1392
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1393
1394
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1395
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1396
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1397
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1398
1399
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1400
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1401
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1402
1403
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1404
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1405
1406
PORTABILITY:
1407
1408
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1409
1410
INTERNALS:
1411
1412
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1413
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1414
(John Arbash Meinel)
1415
1416
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1417
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1418
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1419
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1420
1421
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1422
(Andrew Bennetts)
1423
1424
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1425
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1426
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1427
1428
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1429
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1432
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1433
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1434
1435
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1436
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1437
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1438
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1439
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1440
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1441
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1442
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1443
caller to repeat their request.
1444
(John Arbash Meinel)
1445
1446
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1447
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1448
1449
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1450
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1451
1452
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1453
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1454
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1455
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1456
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1457
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1458
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1459
1460
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1461
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1462
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1463
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1464
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1465
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1466
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1467
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1468
(Robert Collins)
1469
1470
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1471
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1472
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1473
1474
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1475
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1476
1477
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1478
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1479
1480
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1481
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1482
1483
TESTING:
1484
1485
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1486
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1487
1488
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1489
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1490
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1491
1492
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1493
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1494
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1495
1496
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1497
1498
IMPROVEMENTS:
1499
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1500
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1501
1502
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1503
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1504
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1505
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1506
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1507
1508
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1509
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1510
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1511
1512
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1513
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1514
1515
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1516
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1517
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1518
1519
BUG FIXES:
1520
1521
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1522
1523
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1524
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1525
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1526
1527
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1528
1529
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1530
1531
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1532
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1533
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1534
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1535
1536
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1537
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1538
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1539
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1540
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1541
1542
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1543
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1544
1545
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1546
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1547
1548
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1549
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1550
1551
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1552
in handling of revision properties.
1553
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1554
1555
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1556
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1557
1558
INTERNALS:
1559
1560
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1561
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1562
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1563
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1564
(John Arbash Meinel)
1565
1566
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1567
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1568
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1569
1570
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1571
1572
SURPRISES:
1573
1574
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1575
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1576
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1577
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1578
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1579
a more conservative list than the old default.
1580
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1581
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1582
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1583
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1584
1585
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1586
to more locations than just branch locations.
1587
(Aaron Bentley)
1588
1589
IMPROVEMENTS:
1590
1591
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1592
revno:N:branch. For example,
1593
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1594
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1595
1596
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1597
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1598
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1599
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1600
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1601
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1602
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1603
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1604
#42517, #42514)
1605
1606
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1607
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1608
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1609
(Malone #3507)
1610
1611
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1612
(Alexander Belchenko)
1613
1614
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1615
1616
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1617
(Robert Collins).
1618
1619
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1620
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1621
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1622
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1623
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1624
(John Arbash Meinel)
1625
1626
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1627
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1628
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1629
grained analysis of performance.
1630
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1631
1632
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1633
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1634
1635
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1636
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1637
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1638
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1639
file. (Robert Collins).
1640
1641
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1642
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1643
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1644
1645
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1646
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1647
Matthieu Moy)
1648
1649
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1650
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1651
1652
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1653
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1654
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1655
the same way you would apply another branch.
1656
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1657
1658
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1659
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1660
1661
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1662
(Michael Ellerman)
1663
1664
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1665
(Aaron Bentley)
1666
1667
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1668
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1669
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1670
1671
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1672
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1673
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1674
1675
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1676
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1677
1678
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1679
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1680
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1681
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1682
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1683
1684
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1685
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1686
1687
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1688
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1689
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1690
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1691
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1692
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1693
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1694
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1695
1696
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1697
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1698
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1699
1700
BUG FIXES:
1701
1702
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1703
tests not to run.
1704
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1705
1706
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1707
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1708
1709
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1710
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1711
1712
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1713
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1714
1715
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1716
1717
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1718
(John Arbash Meinel)
1719
1720
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1721
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1722
1723
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1724
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1725
and y.
1726
1727
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1728
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1729
1730
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1731
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1732
1733
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1734
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1735
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1736
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1737
1738
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1739
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1740
1741
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1742
1743
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1744
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1745
1746
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1747
1748
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1749
1750
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1751
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1752
1753
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1754
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1755
1756
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1757
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1758
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1759
1760
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1761
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1762
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1763
1764
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1765
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1766
1767
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1768
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1769
1770
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1771
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1772
1773
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1774
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1775
1776
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1777
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1778
1779
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1780
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1781
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1782
1783
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1784
1785
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1786
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1787
1788
INTERNALS:
1789
1790
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1791
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1792
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1793
1794
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1795
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1796
1797
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1798
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1799
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1800
1801
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1802
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1803
1804
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1805
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1806
(Martin Pool)
1807
1808
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1809
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1810
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1811
1812
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1813
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1814
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1815
1816
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1817
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1818
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1819
1820
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1821
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1822
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1823
1824
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1825
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1826
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1827
1828
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1829
instead. (Robert Collins)
1830
1831
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

1841
BUG FIXES:
1842
1843
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1844
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1845
1846
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1847
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1848
1849
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1850
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1851
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1852
1853
CHANGES:
1854
1855
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1856
1857
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1858
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1859
1860
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1861
1862
CHANGES:
1863
1864
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1865
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1866
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1867
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1868
1869
NEW FEATURES:
1870
1871
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1872
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1873
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1874
1875
INTERNALS:
1876
1877
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1878
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1879
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1880
1881
TESTING:
1882
1883
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1884
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1885
1886
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1887
1888
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1889
1890
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1891
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1892
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1893
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1894
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1895
will keep the same format.
1896
1897
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1898
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1899
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1900
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1901
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1902
1903
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1904
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1905
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1906
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1907
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1908
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1909
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1910
1911
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1912
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1913
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1914
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1915
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1916
1917
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1918
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1919
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1920
arrangement.
1921
1922
1923
IMPROVEMENTS:
1924
1925
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1926
convention. Paths now take the form::
1927
1928
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1929
or
1930
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1931
1932
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1933
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1934
1935
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1936
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1937
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1938
1939
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1940
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1941
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1942
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1943
1944
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1945
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1946
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1947
1948
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1949
1950
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1951
1952
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1953
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1954
commits::
1955
1956
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1957
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1958
| xargs bzr re-sign
1959
1960
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1961
1962
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1963
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1964
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1965
(Robert Collins)
1966
1967
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1968
1969
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1970
1971
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1972
'.moved'.
1973
1974
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1975
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1976
1977
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1978
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1979
Daniel Silverstone)
1980
1981
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1982
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1983
Martin Pool)
1984
1985
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1986
1987
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1988
1989
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1990
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1991
1992
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1993
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1994
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1995
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1996
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1997
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1998
1999
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2000
2001
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2002
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2003
(Robert Collins)
2004
2005
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2006
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2007
2008
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2009
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2010
2011
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2012
2013
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2014
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2015
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2016
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2017
specification by Martin Pool.
2018
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2019
2020
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2021
Belchenko)
2022
2023
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2024
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2025
2026
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2027
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2028
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2029
2030
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2031
2032
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2033
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2034
(Robert Collins)
2035
2036
CHANGES:
2037
2038
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2039
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2040
2041
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2042
2043
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2044
2045
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2046
(Olaf Conradi)
2047
2048
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2049
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2050
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2051
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2052
2053
INTERNALS:
2054
2055
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2056
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2057
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2058
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2059
2060
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2061
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2062
tried. (Martin Pool)
2063
2064
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2065
(Martin Pool)
2066
2067
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2068
2069
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2070
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2071
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2072
2073
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2074
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2075
2076
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2077
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2078
paths. (Robert Collins)
2079
2080
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2081
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2082
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2083
2084
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2085
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2086
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2087
2088
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2089
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2090
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2091
2092
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2093
(Olaf Conradi)
2094
2095
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2096
(Olaf Conradi)
2097
2098
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2099
2100
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2101
2102
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2103
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2104
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2105
(Robert Collins)
2106
2107
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2108
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2109
2110
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2111
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2112
check. (Robert Collins)
2113
2114
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2115
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2116
2117
TESTING:
2118
2119
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2120
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2121
2122
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2123
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2124
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2125
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2126
2127
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2128
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2129
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2130
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2131
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2132
2133
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2134
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2135
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2136
2137
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2138
2139
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2140
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2141

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2143
2144
CHANGES:
2145
2146
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2147
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2148
2149
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2150
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2151
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2152
(Johan Rydberg)
2153
2154
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2155
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2156
2157
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2158
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2159
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2160
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2161
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2162
2163
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2164
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2165
used. (Robert Collins)
2166
2167
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2168
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2169
(James Henstridge)
2170
2171
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2172
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2173
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2174
2175
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2176
ignore list.
2177
2178
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2179
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2180
2181
IMPROVEMENTS:
2182
2183
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2184
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2185
2186
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2187
2188
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2189
2190
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2191
tree. (Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2194
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2195
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2196
(Robert Collins)
2197
2198
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2199
that they be kept.
2200
2201
* Tweaks to short log printing
2202
2203
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2204
(Aaron Bentley)
2205
2206
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2207
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2208
2209
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2210
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2211
2212
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2213
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2214
2215
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2216
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2217
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2218
2219
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2220
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2221
2222
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2223
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2224
requests.
2225
2226
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2227
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2228
2229
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2230
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2231
2232
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2233
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2234
2235
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2236
(Denys Duchier)
2237
2238
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2239
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2240
2241
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2242
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2243
2244
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2245
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2246
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2247
2248
BUG FIXES:
2249
2250
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2253
2254
* Error when run with -OO
2255
2256
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2257
(Martin Pool)
2258
2259
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2260
2261
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2262
2263
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2264
ignored by diff and status
2265
2266
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2267
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2268
2269
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2270
2271
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2272
2273
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2274
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2275
2276
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2277
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2278
2279
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2280
(Harald Meland)
2281
2282
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2283
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2284
2285
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2286
2287
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2288
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2289
2290
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2291
(Martin Pool)
2292
2293
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2294
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2295
2296
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2297
2298
TESTING:
2299
2300
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2301
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2302
2303
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2304
2305
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2306
2307
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2308
2309
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2310
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2311
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2312
2313
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2314
2315
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2316
(John Arbash Meinel)
2317
2318
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2319
2320
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2321
If adding a new test script please add that to
2322
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2323
2324
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2325
imported. (Martin Pool)
2326
2327
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2328
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2329
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2330
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2331
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2332
(Robert Collins)
2333
2334
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2335
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2336
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2337
2338
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2339
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2340
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2341
2342
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2343
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2344
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2345
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2346
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2347
(Robert Collins).
2348
2349
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2350
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2351
(Robert Collins).
2352
2353
INTERNALS:
2354
2355
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2356
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2357
2358
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2359
function. (Robert Collins)
2360
2361
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2362
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2363
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2364
2365
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2366
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2367
(Robert Collins)
2368
2369
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2370
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2371
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2372
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2373
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2374
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2375
version. (Robert Collins)
2376
2377
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2378
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2379
2380
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2381
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2382
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2383
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2384
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2385
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2386
2387
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2388
(Robert Collins)
2389
2390
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2391
2392
add()
2393
commit()
2394
move()
2395
rename_one()
2396
unknowns()
2397
2398
(Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2401
2402
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2403
2404
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2405
Pool)
2406
2407
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2408
query method. (Robert Collins)
2409
2410
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2411
(Denys Duchier)
2412
2413
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2414
(Michael Ellerman)
2415
2416
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2417
(Michael Ellerman)
2418
2419
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2420
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2421
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2422
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2423
2424
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2425
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2426
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2427
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2428
2429
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2430
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2431
2432
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
2433
2434
IMPROVEMENTS:
2435
2436
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2437
(John A Meinel)
2438
2439
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2440
conflicts.
2441
(Aaron Bentley)
2442
2443
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2444
a separator, not ':'.
2445
(Aaron Bentley)
2446
2447
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2448
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2449
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2450
2451
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2452
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2453
(Robert Collins)
2454
2455
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2456
has been added that suppresses all output.
2457
2458
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2459
Adams.
2460
2461
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2462
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2463
2464
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2465
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2468
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2469
2470
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2471
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2472
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2473
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2474
2475
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2476
2477
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2478
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2479
2480
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2481
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2482
2483
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2484
output directory, if one was supplied.
2485
2486
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2487
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2488
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2489
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2490
2491
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2492
2493
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2494
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2495
2496
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2497
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2498
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2499
2500
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2501
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2502
2503
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2504
(Aaron Bentley)
2505
2506
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2507
2508
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2509
2510
TESTING:
2511
2512
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2513
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2514
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2517
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2518
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2519
2520
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2521
is given. (Martin Pool)
2522
2523
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2524
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2525
file. (Robert Collins)
2526
2527
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2528
(Martin Pool)
2529
2530
INTERNALS:
2531
2532
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2533
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2534
representation. (Martin Pool).
2535
2536
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2537
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2538
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2539
2540
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2541
(Robert Collins)
2542
2543
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2544
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2545
Magnus Therning.
2546
2547
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2548
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2549
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2550
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2551
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2552
2553
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2554
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2555
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2556
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2557
python path. (Robert Collins)
2558
2559
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2560
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2561
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2562
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2563
2564
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2565
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2566
2567
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2568
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2569
(Robert Collins)
2570
2571
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2572
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2573
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2574
2575
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2576
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2577
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2578
2579
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2580
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2581
2582
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2583
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2584
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2585
(Robert Collins)
2586
2587
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2588
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2589
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2590
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2591
(Robert Collins)
2592
2593
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2594
(Robert Collins)
2595
2596
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2597
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2598
(Robert Collins)
2599
2600
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2601
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2602
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2603
2604
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2605
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2606
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2607
2608
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2609
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2610
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2613
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2614
2615
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2616
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2617
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2618
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2619
caller. (Robert Collins)
2620
2621
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2622
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2623
(Robert Collins).
2624
2625
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2626
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2627
(Aaron Bentley)
2628
2629
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2630
2631
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2632
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2633
2634
BUG FIXES:
2635
2636
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2637
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2638
2639
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2640
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2641
2642
2643
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2644
2645
BUG FIXES:
2646
2647
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2648
allow directories to be listed.
2649
2650
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2651
upgrading branch format.
2652
2653
PERFORMANCE:
2654
2655
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2656
2657
2658
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2659
2660
NOTES:
2661
2662
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2663
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2664
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2665
high-latency connections.
2666
2667
BUG FIXES:
2668
2669
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2670
Rob Weir.
2671
2672
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2673
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2674
2675
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2676
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2677
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2678
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2679
2680
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2681
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2682
2683
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2684
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2685
2686
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2687
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2688
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2689
2690
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2691
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2692
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2693
Robert Collins
2694
2695
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2696
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2697
2698
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2699
different partial views of history.
2700
2701
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2702
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2703
2704
IMPROVEMENTS:
2705
2706
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2707
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2708
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2709
2710
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2711
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2712
'bzr upgrade'.
2713
2714
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2715
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2716
2717
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2718
Niemeyer.
2719
2720
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2721
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2722
2723
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2724
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2725
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2726
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2727
2728
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2729
2730
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2731
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2732
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2733
2734
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2735
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2736
2737
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2738
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2739
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2740
2741
2742
INTERNALS:
2743
2744
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2745
for your viewing pleasure.
2746
2747
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2748
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2749
2750
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2751
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2752
handling of such circumstances.
2753
2754
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2755
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2756
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2757
2758
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2759
2760
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2761
we call them revisions not patches.
2762
2763
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2764
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2765
2766
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2767
giving the revision *of that file*.
2768
2769
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2770
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2771
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2772
2773
TESTING:
2774
2775
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2776
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2777
2778
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2779
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2780
2781
2782
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2783
2784
BUG FIXES:
2785
2786
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2787
2788
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2789
(Robert Collins).
2790
2791
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2792
2793
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2794
2795
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2796
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2797
2798
IMPROVEMENTS:
2799
2800
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2801
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2802
2803
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2804
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2805
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2806
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2807
Robey Pointer
2808
2809
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2810
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2811
2812
INTERNALS:
2813
2814
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2815
2816
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2817
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2818
2819
2820
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2821
2822
IMPROVEMENTS:
2823
2824
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2825
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2826
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2827
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2828
Michael Ellerman.
2829
2830
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2831
(Nir Soffer)
2832
2833
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2834
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2835
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2836
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2837
for the operating system is still tried.
2838
2839
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2840
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2841
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2842
2843
2844
INTERNALS:
2845
2846
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2847
2848
BUG FIXES:
2849
2850
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2851
2852
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2853
branch.
2854
2855
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2856
read.
2857
2858
2859
PORTABILITY:
2860
2861
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2862
2863
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2864
2865
2866
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2867
2868
NEW FEATURES:
2869
2870
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2871
help with intelligent shell completion.
2872
2873
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2874
2875
2876
ENHANCEMENTS:
2877
2878
* Much better merge support.
2879
2880
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2881
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2882
like emacs smerge.
2883
2884
2885
BUG FIXES:
2886
2887
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2888
mention revisions that are not present.
2889
2890
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2891
2892
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2893
2894
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2895
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2896
2897
2898
CHANGES:
2899
2900
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2901
2902
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2903
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2904
--help themselves.
2905
2906
2907
LIBRARY:
2908
2909
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2910
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2911
libraries.
2912
2913
2914
2915
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2916
2917
NEW FEATURES:
2918
2919
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2920
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2921
2922
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2923
2924
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2925
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2926
2927
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2928
FOO.
2929
2930
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2931
2932
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2933
the Unix command.
2934
2935
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2936
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2937
2938
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2939
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2940
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2941
2942
2943
ENHANCEMENTS:
2944
2945
* Faster working tree operations.
2946
2947
2948
CHANGES:
2949
2950
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2951
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2952
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2953
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2954
2955
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2956
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2957
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2958
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2959
standard plugins directory.
2960
2961
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2962
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2963
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2964
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2965
2966
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2967
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2968
2969
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2970
disk.
2971
2972
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2973
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2974
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2975
2976
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2977
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2978
2979
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2980
line options must come before the command name because they
2981
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2982
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2983
it.
2984
2985
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2986
2987
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2988
is available with ``--short``.
2989
2990
2991
BUG FIXES:
2992
2993
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2994
2995
2996
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2997
2998
CHANGES:
2999
3000
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3001
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3002
3003
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3004
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3005
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3006
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3007
3008
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3009
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3010
with the ``--forward`` option.
3011
3012
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3013
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3014
field.
3015
3016
3017
ENHANCEMENTS:
3018
3019
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3020
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3021
3022
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3023
3024
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3025
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3026
3027
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3028
3029
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3030
either read or write mode.
3031
3032
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3033
3034
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3035
affected that file.
3036
3037
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3038
3039
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3040
suggested by LarstiQ.
3041
3042
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3043
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3044
3045
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3046
a filename.
3047
3048
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3049
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3050
3051
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3052
haven't changed since the previous time.
3053
3054
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3055
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3056
3057
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3058
3059
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3060
3061
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3062
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3063
3064
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3065
options through to an external GNU diff.
3066
3067
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3068
their contents.
3069
3070
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3071
from a branch.
3072
3073
3074
BUG FIXES:
3075
3076
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3077
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3078
3079
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3080
metacharacters.
3081
3082
3083
TESTING:
3084
3085
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3086
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3087
the tests.
3088
3089
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3090
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3091
3092
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3093
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3094
3095
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3096
under a different version.
3097
3098
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3099
3100
3101
INTERNAL:
3102
3103
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3104
3105
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3106
Scott James Remnant.
3107
3108
* Better help messages for many commands.
3109
3110
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3111
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3112
3113
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3114
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3115
3116
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3117
3118
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3119
3120
* New AtomicFile class.
3121
3122
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3123
3124
3125
PORTABILITY:
3126
3127
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3128
2.4 is now only recommended.
3129
3130
3131
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3132
3133
ENHANCEMENTS:
3134
3135
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3136
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3137
3138
* More default ignore patterns.
3139
3140
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3141
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3142
3143
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3144
3145
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3146
by Jason Diamon.
3147
3148
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3149
3150
3151
CHANGES:
3152
3153
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3154
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3155
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3156
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3157
there are DNS problems.
3158
3159
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3160
3161
3162
BUG FIXES:
3163
3164
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3165
3166
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3167
3168
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3169
trailing newlines properly.
3170
3171
3172
INTERNAL:
3173
3174
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3175
Matt Brubeck.
3176
3177
* More tests in test.sh.
3178
3179
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3180
directory and delete it when done.
3181
3182
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3183
3184
3185
PORTABILITY:
3186
3187
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3188
Bennetts.
3189
3190
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3191
from QuantumG.
3192
3193
3194
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3195
3196
ENHANCEMENTS:
3197
3198
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3199
in the tree.
3200
3201
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3202
3203
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3204
and/or directory.
3205
3206
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3207
directory.
3208
3209
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3210
3211
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3212
3213
CHANGES:
3214
3215
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3216
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3217
will do for now.)
3218
3219
PORTABILITY:
3220
3221
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3222
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3223
Nielsen.
3224
3225
INTERNAL:
3226
3227
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3228
3229
TESTING:
3230
3231
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

3240
3241
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3242
3243
ENHANCEMENTS:
3244
3245
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3246
3247
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3248
rather than replacing it.
3249
3250
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3251
3252
* More help topics.
3253
3254
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3255
branch.
3256
3257
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3258
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3259
3260
* Performance improvements.
3261
3262
* New global --profile option.
3263
3264
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3265
the root directory only.
3266
3267
3268
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3269
3270
ENHANCEMENTS:
3271
3272
* More information from info command.
3273
3274
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3275
3276
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3277
committing to stores.
3278
3279
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3280
3281
BUG FIXES:
3282
3283
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3284
3285
PORTABILITY:
3286
3287
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3288
installation easier.
3289
3290
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3291
supported).
3292
3293
3294
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3295
3296
ENHANCEMENTS:
3297
3298
* First public release.
3299
3300
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
3301
diff, status, etc.
