* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
6
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
8
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
9
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
10
(James Westby, #122656)
14
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
15
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
16
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
17
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
18
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
19
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
21
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
22
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
23
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
28
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
29
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
31
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
32
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
34
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
35
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
37
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
38
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
39
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
40
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
41
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
43
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
44
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
46
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
47
can be slow it is useful feedback).
48
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
50
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
51
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
53
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
54
output. (Aaron Bentley)
56
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
57
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
60
* ``bzrtracefilename --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
61
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
66
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
67
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
68
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
69
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
70
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
71
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
72
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
73
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
74
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
75
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
76
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
77
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
78
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
79
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
80
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
81
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
82
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
87
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
89
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
90
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
91
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
95
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
96
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
97
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
98
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
100
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
101
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
102
testing. (Robert Collins)
104
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
105
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
107
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
108
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
109
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
110
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
111
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
112
attribute during the test parameterisation in
113
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
115
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
116
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
117
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
118
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
120
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
121
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
125
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
126
authentication header.
127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
134
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
135
(Colin Watson, #120647)
137
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
143
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
145
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
146
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
147
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
148
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
149
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
150
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
151
and unlock() like so::
153
work_tree.lock_read()
155
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
160
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
161
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
163
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
164
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
165
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
167
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
168
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
169
too. (Robert Collins)
173
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
174
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
177
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
180
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
181
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
183
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
184
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
185
understanding what changes have occurred
186
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
188
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
189
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
190
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
192
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
193
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
194
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
195
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
197
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
202
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
203
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
204
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
205
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
206
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
208
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
209
based on split paths, not just string paths.
210
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
212
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
215
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
219
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
220
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
222
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
223
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
225
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
226
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
228
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
229
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
231
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
232
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
234
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
235
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
236
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
242
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
243
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
244
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
245
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
246
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
248
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
249
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
250
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
252
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
253
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
257
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
258
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
259
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
261
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
262
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
263
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
264
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
266
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
270
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
271
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
272
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
273
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
275
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
276
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
277
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
279
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
280
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
282
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
283
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
285
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
286
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
288
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
290
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
292
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
293
it could be recovered again.
294
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
295
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
296
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
298
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
300
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
301
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
305
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
306
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
308
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
309
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
310
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
311
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
313
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
314
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
316
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
317
tests with names that match that regular expression.
318
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
320
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
321
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
322
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
324
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
325
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
326
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
328
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
329
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
332
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
335
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
336
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
337
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
338
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
340
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
343
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
344
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
345
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
348
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
349
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
351
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
352
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
354
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
355
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
356
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
357
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
360
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
361
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
363
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
364
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
366
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
367
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
368
(Robert Collins, #107125).
370
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
371
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
372
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
374
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
375
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
376
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
378
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
379
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
380
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
381
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
383
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
384
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
385
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
386
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
388
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
389
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
390
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
391
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
392
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
393
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
394
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
395
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
401
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
402
code paths. (Robert Collins)
404
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
405
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
406
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
407
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
408
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
410
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
411
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
413
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
414
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
416
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
417
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
419
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
420
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
422
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
423
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
424
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
427
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
428
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
429
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
430
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
431
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
434
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
435
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
436
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
438
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
439
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
442
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
443
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
444
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
447
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
448
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
449
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
450
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
451
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
453
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
454
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
455
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
456
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
458
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
459
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
461
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
462
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
463
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
464
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
465
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
466
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
468
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
469
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
471
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
472
help. (Robert Collins)
474
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
475
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
477
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
478
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
479
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
480
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
483
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
484
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
485
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
486
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
487
useful. (Robert Collins)
489
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
494
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
495
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
497
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
498
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
500
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
501
properly and is no longer beneficial.
502
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
504
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
507
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
508
the file, and does it faster.
509
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
511
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
512
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
513
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
515
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
516
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
517
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
518
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
520
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
521
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
522
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
523
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
525
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
526
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
528
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
529
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
530
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
531
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
534
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
536
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
537
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
539
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
540
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
542
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
543
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
544
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
545
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
549
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
554
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
555
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
556
in running it. (Robert Collins)
558
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
559
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
561
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
562
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
563
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
564
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
565
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
566
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
567
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
568
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
570
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
571
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
572
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
574
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
575
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
576
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
577
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
578
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
580
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
582
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
583
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
584
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
586
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
587
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
594
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
597
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
598
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
601
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
605
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
606
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
611
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
612
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
613
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
614
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
615
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
616
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
617
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
618
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
623
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
624
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
625
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
627
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
628
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
631
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
632
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
635
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
636
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
637
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
638
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
639
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
643
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
646
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
647
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
649
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
650
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
652
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
653
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
654
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
656
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
657
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
659
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
660
last-changed-revision for directories. The
661
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
662
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
663
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
665
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
666
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
667
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
669
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
672
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
674
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
676
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
677
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
678
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
682
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
683
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
685
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
686
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
688
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
690
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
691
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
693
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
694
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
698
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
703
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
704
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
705
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
706
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
708
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
709
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
711
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
712
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
714
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
717
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
718
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
721
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
725
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
726
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
727
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
728
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
729
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
730
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
732
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
733
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
734
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
735
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
736
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
737
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
739
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
741
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
742
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
743
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
744
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
745
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
746
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
747
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
748
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
752
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
753
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
755
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
756
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
757
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
758
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
760
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
761
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
762
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
763
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
764
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
766
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
769
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
772
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
775
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
776
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
779
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
782
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
783
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
785
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
786
directory. (Martin Pool)
788
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
789
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
790
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
791
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
793
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
794
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
795
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
796
in docs/configuration.txt.
798
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
799
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
802
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
803
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
804
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
805
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
806
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
807
repositories. (Martin Pool)
809
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
810
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
812
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
813
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
815
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
820
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
821
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
822
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
823
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
824
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
827
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
828
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
831
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
832
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
835
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
836
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
837
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
838
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
839
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
840
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
842
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
843
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
844
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
846
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
847
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
848
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
849
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
851
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
853
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
854
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
855
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
856
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
858
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
859
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
860
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
861
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
863
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
864
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
865
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
867
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
868
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
869
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
871
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
872
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
873
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
874
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
876
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
877
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
878
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
880
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
881
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
882
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
884
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
885
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
886
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
887
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
888
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
889
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
890
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
891
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
892
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
893
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
894
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
898
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
899
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
900
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
902
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
905
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
906
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
907
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
908
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
910
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
911
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
914
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
915
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
917
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
919
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
920
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
921
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
923
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
924
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
926
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
929
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
932
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
933
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
935
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
937
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
938
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
942
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
943
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
950
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
954
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
955
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
956
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
958
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
959
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
960
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
963
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
967
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
968
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
969
server, then you can write over the http connection.
970
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
972
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
975
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
976
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
977
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
979
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
980
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
982
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
985
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
986
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
987
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
988
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
989
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
990
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
992
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
993
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
994
should enable you to do::
997
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
998
push_location:policy = appendpath
1000
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1001
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1004
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1005
for each file. For example::
1007
$ bzr status --short
1013
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1014
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1016
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1018
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1019
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1021
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1025
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1026
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1027
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1028
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1030
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1031
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1032
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1034
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1036
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1037
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1038
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1039
(Alexander Belchenko)
1041
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1044
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1045
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1047
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1051
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1052
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1054
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1055
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1056
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1057
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1058
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1060
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1061
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1063
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1064
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1066
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1068
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1070
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1071
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1072
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1073
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1074
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1076
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1077
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1078
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1079
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1081
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1082
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1084
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1085
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1087
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1088
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1090
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1091
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1096
No changes from 0.13rc1
1098
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1102
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1104
(Daniel Silverstone)
1106
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1107
operations are substantially faster.
1108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1110
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1111
tree from some other url. For example:
1112
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1113
(Daniel Silverstone)
1115
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1116
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1117
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1118
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1120
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1123
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1124
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1125
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1126
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1127
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1128
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1132
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1133
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1136
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1137
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1138
(John Arbash Meinel)
1140
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1141
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1142
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1143
(John Arbash Meinel)
1145
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1146
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1148
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1149
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1151
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1152
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1157
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1158
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1159
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1161
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1162
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1163
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1164
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1166
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1168
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1169
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1171
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1172
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1173
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1174
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1176
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1177
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1178
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1180
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1181
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1182
them as full references rather than integers.
1183
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1185
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1186
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1188
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1190
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1191
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1193
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1194
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1196
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1197
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1198
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1199
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1201
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1202
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1203
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1205
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1206
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1208
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1209
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1210
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1211
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1212
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1216
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1217
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1223
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1224
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1225
(John Arbash Meinel)
1227
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1231
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1232
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1233
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1234
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1236
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1237
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1239
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1241
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1242
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1243
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1244
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1246
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1247
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1248
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1249
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1250
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1252
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1254
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1255
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1259
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1260
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1261
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1263
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1264
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1265
(John Arbash Meinel)
1267
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1268
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1269
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1271
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1272
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1275
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1276
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1277
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1279
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1280
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1281
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1282
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1283
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1284
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1286
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1287
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1288
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1291
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1292
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1296
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1297
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1298
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1301
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1302
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1304
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1305
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1306
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1308
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1309
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1311
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1312
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1313
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1314
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1316
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1317
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1319
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1320
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1321
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1323
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1324
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1326
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1328
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1329
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1334
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1335
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1336
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1337
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1339
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1340
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1341
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1345
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1347
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1351
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1353
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1356
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1360
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1361
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1362
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1363
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1364
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1365
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1366
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1368
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1369
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1370
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1372
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1374
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1375
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1377
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1378
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1379
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1382
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1383
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1384
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1385
(John Arbash Meinel)
1387
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1388
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1389
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1390
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1393
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1394
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1395
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1396
(John Arbash Meinel)
1400
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1401
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1403
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1405
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1406
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1407
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1409
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1410
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1412
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1413
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1415
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1416
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1418
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1419
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1421
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1423
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1424
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1426
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1427
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1429
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1430
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1432
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1433
(John Arbash Meinel)
1435
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1436
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1437
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1439
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1440
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1442
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1443
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1444
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1445
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1447
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1448
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1449
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1451
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1452
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1456
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1460
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1461
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1462
(John Arbash Meinel)
1464
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1465
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1466
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1467
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1469
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1472
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1473
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1474
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1476
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1477
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1479
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1480
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1481
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1483
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1484
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1485
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1486
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1487
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1488
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1489
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1490
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1491
caller to repeat their request.
1492
(John Arbash Meinel)
1494
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1495
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1497
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1498
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1500
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1501
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1502
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1503
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1504
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1505
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1506
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1508
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1509
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1510
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1511
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1512
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1513
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1514
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1515
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1518
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1519
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1520
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1522
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1523
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1525
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1526
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1528
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1529
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1533
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1534
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1536
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1537
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1538
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1540
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1541
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1542
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1547
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1548
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1550
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1551
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1552
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1553
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1554
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1556
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1557
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1558
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1560
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1561
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1563
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1564
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1565
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1569
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1571
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1572
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1573
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1575
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1577
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1579
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1580
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1581
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1582
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1584
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1585
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1586
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1587
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1588
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1590
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1591
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1593
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1594
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1596
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1597
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1599
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1600
in handling of revision properties.
1601
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1603
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1604
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1608
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1609
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1610
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1611
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1612
(John Arbash Meinel)
1614
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1615
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1616
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1618
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1622
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1623
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1624
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1625
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1626
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1627
a more conservative list than the old default.
1628
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1629
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1630
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1631
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1633
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1634
to more locations than just branch locations.
1639
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1640
revno:N:branch. For example,
1641
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1642
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1644
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1645
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1646
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1647
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1648
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1649
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1650
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1651
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1654
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1655
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1656
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1659
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1660
(Alexander Belchenko)
1662
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1664
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1667
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1668
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1669
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1670
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1671
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1672
(John Arbash Meinel)
1674
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1675
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1676
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1677
grained analysis of performance.
1678
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1680
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1681
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1683
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1684
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1685
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1686
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1687
file. (Robert Collins).
1689
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1690
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1691
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1693
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1694
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1697
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1698
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1700
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1701
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1702
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1703
the same way you would apply another branch.
1704
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1706
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1707
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1709
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1712
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1715
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1716
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1717
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1719
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1720
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1721
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1723
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1724
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1726
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1727
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1728
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1729
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1730
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1732
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1733
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1735
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1736
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1737
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1738
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1739
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1740
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1741
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1742
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1744
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1745
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1746
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1750
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1752
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1754
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1755
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1757
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1758
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1760
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1761
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1763
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1765
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1766
(John Arbash Meinel)
1768
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1769
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1771
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1772
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1775
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1776
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1778
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1779
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1781
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1782
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1783
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1784
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1786
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1787
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1789
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1791
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1792
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1794
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1796
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1798
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1799
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1801
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1802
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1804
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1805
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1806
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1808
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1809
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1810
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1812
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1813
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1815
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1816
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1818
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1819
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1821
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1822
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1824
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1825
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1827
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1828
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1829
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1831
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1833
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1834
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1838
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1839
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1840
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1842
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1843
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1845
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1846
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1847
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1849
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1850
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1852
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1853
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1856
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1857
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1858
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1860
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1861
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1862
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1864
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1865
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1866
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1868
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1869
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1870
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1872
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1873
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1874
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1876
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1877
instead. (Robert Collins)
1879
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1881
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1885
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1887
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1891
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1892
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1894
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1895
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1897
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1898
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1899
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1903
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1905
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1906
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1908
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1912
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1913
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1914
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1915
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1919
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1920
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1921
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1925
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1926
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1927
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1931
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1932
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1936
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1938
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1939
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1940
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1941
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1942
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1943
will keep the same format.
1945
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1946
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1947
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1948
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1949
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1951
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1952
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1953
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1954
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1955
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1956
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1957
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1959
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1960
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1961
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1962
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1963
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1965
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1966
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1967
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1973
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1974
convention. Paths now take the form::
1976
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1978
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1980
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1981
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1983
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1984
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1985
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1987
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1988
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1989
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1990
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1992
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1993
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1994
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1996
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1998
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2000
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2001
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2004
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2005
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2008
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2010
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2011
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2012
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2015
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2017
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2019
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2022
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2023
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2025
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2026
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2029
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2030
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2033
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2035
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2037
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2038
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2040
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2041
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2042
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2043
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2044
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2045
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2047
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2049
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2050
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2053
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2054
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2056
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2057
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2059
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2061
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2062
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2063
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2064
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2065
specification by Martin Pool.
2066
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2068
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2071
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2072
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2074
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2075
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2076
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2078
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2080
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2081
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2086
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2087
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2089
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2091
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2093
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2096
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2097
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2098
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2099
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2103
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2104
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2105
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2106
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2108
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2109
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2110
tried. (Martin Pool)
2112
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2115
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2117
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2118
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2119
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2121
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2122
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2124
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2125
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2126
paths. (Robert Collins)
2128
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2129
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2130
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2132
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2133
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2134
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2136
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2137
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2138
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2140
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2143
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2146
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2148
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2150
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2151
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2152
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2155
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2156
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2158
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2159
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2160
check. (Robert Collins)
2162
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2163
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2167
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2168
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2170
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2171
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2172
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2173
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2175
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2176
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2177
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2178
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2179
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2181
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2182
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2183
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2185
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2187
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2188
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2194
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2195
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2197
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2198
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2199
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2202
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2203
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2205
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2206
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2207
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2208
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2209
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2211
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2212
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2213
used. (Robert Collins)
2215
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2216
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2219
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2220
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2221
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2223
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2226
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2227
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2231
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2232
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2234
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2236
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2238
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2239
tree. (Robert Collins)
2241
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2242
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2243
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2246
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2249
* Tweaks to short log printing
2251
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2254
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2255
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2257
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2258
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2260
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2261
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2263
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2264
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2265
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2267
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2268
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2270
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2271
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2274
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2275
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2277
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2278
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2280
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2281
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2283
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2286
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2287
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2289
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2290
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2292
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2293
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2294
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2298
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2300
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2302
* Error when run with -OO
2304
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2307
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2309
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2311
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2312
ignored by diff and status
2314
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2315
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2317
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2319
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2321
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2322
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2324
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2325
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2327
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2330
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2331
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2333
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2335
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2336
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2338
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2341
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2342
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2344
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2348
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2349
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2351
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2353
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2355
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2357
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2358
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2359
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2361
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2363
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2364
(John Arbash Meinel)
2366
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2368
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2369
If adding a new test script please add that to
2370
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2372
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2373
imported. (Martin Pool)
2375
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2376
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2377
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2378
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2379
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2382
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2383
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2384
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2386
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2387
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2388
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2390
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2391
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2392
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2393
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2394
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2397
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2398
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2403
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2404
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2406
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2407
function. (Robert Collins)
2409
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2410
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2411
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2413
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2414
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2417
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2418
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2419
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2420
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2421
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2422
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2423
version. (Robert Collins)
2425
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2426
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2428
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2429
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2430
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2431
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2432
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2433
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2435
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2438
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2448
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2450
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2452
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2455
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2456
query method. (Robert Collins)
2458
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2461
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2464
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2467
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2468
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2469
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2470
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2472
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2473
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2474
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2475
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2477
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2478
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2484
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2487
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2491
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2492
a separator, not ':'.
2495
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2496
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2497
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2499
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2500
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2503
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2504
has been added that suppresses all output.
2506
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2509
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2510
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2512
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2513
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2515
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2516
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2518
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2519
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2520
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2521
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2523
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2525
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2526
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2528
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2529
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2531
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2532
output directory, if one was supplied.
2534
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2535
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2536
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2537
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2539
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2541
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2542
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2544
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2545
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2546
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2548
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2549
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2551
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2554
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2556
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2560
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2561
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2562
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2564
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2565
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2566
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2568
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2569
is given. (Martin Pool)
2571
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2572
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2573
file. (Robert Collins)
2575
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2580
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2581
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2582
representation. (Martin Pool).
2584
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2585
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2586
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2588
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2591
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2592
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2595
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2596
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2597
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2598
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2599
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2601
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2602
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2603
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2604
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2605
python path. (Robert Collins)
2607
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2608
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2609
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2610
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2612
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2613
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2615
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2616
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2619
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2620
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2621
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2623
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2624
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2625
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2627
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2628
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2630
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2631
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2632
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2635
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2636
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2637
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2638
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2641
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2644
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2645
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2648
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2649
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2650
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2652
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2653
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2654
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2656
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2657
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2658
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2660
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2661
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2663
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2664
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2665
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2666
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2667
caller. (Robert Collins)
2669
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2670
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2673
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2674
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2677
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2679
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2680
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2684
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2685
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2687
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2688
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2691
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2695
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2696
allow directories to be listed.
2698
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2699
upgrading branch format.
2703
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2710
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2711
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2712
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2713
high-latency connections.
2717
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2720
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2721
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2723
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2724
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2725
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2726
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2728
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2729
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2731
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2732
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2734
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2735
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2736
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2738
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2739
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2740
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2743
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2744
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2746
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2747
different partial views of history.
2749
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2750
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2754
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2755
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2756
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2758
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2759
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2762
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2763
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2765
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2768
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2769
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2771
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2772
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2773
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2774
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2776
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2778
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2779
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2782
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2783
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2785
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2786
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2787
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2792
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2793
for your viewing pleasure.
2795
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2796
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2798
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2799
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2800
handling of such circumstances.
2802
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2803
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2804
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2806
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2808
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2809
we call them revisions not patches.
2811
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2812
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2814
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2815
giving the revision *of that file*.
2817
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2818
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2819
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2823
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2824
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2826
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2827
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2830
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2834
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2836
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2839
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2841
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2843
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2844
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2848
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2849
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2851
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2852
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2853
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2854
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2857
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2858
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2862
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2864
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2865
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2868
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2872
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2873
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2874
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2875
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2878
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2881
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2882
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2883
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2884
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2885
for the operating system is still tried.
2887
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2888
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2889
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2894
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2898
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2900
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2903
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2909
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2911
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2914
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2918
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2919
help with intelligent shell completion.
2921
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2926
* Much better merge support.
2928
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2929
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2935
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2936
mention revisions that are not present.
2938
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2940
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2942
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2943
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2948
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2950
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2951
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2957
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2958
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2963
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2967
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2968
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2970
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2972
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2973
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2975
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2978
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2980
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2983
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2984
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2986
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2987
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2988
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2993
* Faster working tree operations.
2998
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2999
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3000
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3001
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3003
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3004
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3005
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3006
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3007
standard plugins directory.
3009
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3010
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3011
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3012
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3014
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3015
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3017
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3020
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3021
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3022
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3024
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3025
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3027
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3028
line options must come before the command name because they
3029
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3030
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3033
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3035
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3036
is available with ``--short``.
3041
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3044
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3048
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3049
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3051
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3052
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3053
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3054
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3056
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3057
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3058
with the ``--forward`` option.
3060
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3061
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3067
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3068
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3070
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3072
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3073
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3075
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3077
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3078
either read or write mode.
3080
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3082
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3085
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3087
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3088
suggested by LarstiQ.
3090
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3091
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3093
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3096
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3097
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3099
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3100
haven't changed since the previous time.
3102
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3103
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3105
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3107
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3109
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3110
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3112
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3113
options through to an external GNU diff.
3115
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3118
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3124
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3125
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3127
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3133
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3134
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3137
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3138
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3140
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3141
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3143
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3144
under a different version.
3146
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3151
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3153
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3154
Scott James Remnant.
3156
* Better help messages for many commands.
3158
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3159
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3161
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3162
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3164
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3166
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3168
* New AtomicFile class.
3170
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3175
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3176
2.4 is now only recommended.
3179
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3183
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3184
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3186
* More default ignore patterns.
3188
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3189
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3191
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3193
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3196
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3201
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3202
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3203
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3204
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3205
there are DNS problems.
3207
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3212
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3214
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3216
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3217
trailing newlines properly.
3222
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3225
* More tests in test.sh.
3227
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3228
directory and delete it when done.
3230
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3235
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3238
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3242
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3246
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3249
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3251
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3254
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3257
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3259
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3263
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3264
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3269
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3270
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3275
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3279
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3286
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
3289
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3293
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3295
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3296
rather than replacing it.
3298
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3302
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3305
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3306
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3308
* Performance improvements.
3310
* New global --profile option.
3312
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3313
the root directory only.
3316
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3320
* More information from info command.
3322
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3324
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3325
committing to stores.
3327
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3331
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3335
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3336
installation easier.
3338
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3342
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3346
* First public release.
3348
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
