BUGFIXES:
4
5
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
6
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7
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)
11
12
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
13
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
14
15
IMPROVEMENTS:
16
17
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
18
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
19
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
20
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
21
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
22
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
23
24
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
25
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
26
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
27
28
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
29
(Elliot Murphy)
30
31
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
32
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
33
34
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
35
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
36
37
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
38
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
39
40
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
41
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
42
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
43
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
44
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
45
46
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
47
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
48
49
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
50
can be slow it is useful feedback).
51
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
52
53
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
54
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
55
56
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
57
output. (Aaron Bentley)
58
59
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
60
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
61
(Robert Collins)
62
63
* ``bzrtracefilename --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
64
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
65
66
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
67
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
68
69
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
70
71
* Testing cleanups -
72
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
73
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
74
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
75
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
76
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
77
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
78
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
79
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
80
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
81
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
82
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
83
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
84
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
85
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
86
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
87
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
88
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
89
(Robert Collins)
90
91
INTERNALS:
92
93
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
94
95
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
96
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
97
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
98
99
TESTING:
100
101
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
102
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
103
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
104
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
105
106
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
107
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
108
testing. (Robert Collins)
109
110
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
111
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
112
113
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
114
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
115
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
116
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
117
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
118
attribute during the test parameterisation in
119
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
120
121
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
122
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
123
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
124
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
125
126
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
127
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
128
129
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
130
avoid useless cloning.
131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
132
133
BUGFIXES:
134
135
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
136
authentication header.
137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
138
139
140
bzr 0.17 2007-06-18
141
142
BUGFIXES:
143
144
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
145
(Colin Watson, #120647)
146
147
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
148
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
149
150
151
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
152
153
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
154
155
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
156
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
157
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
158
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
159
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
160
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
161
and unlock() like so::
162
163
work_tree.lock_read()
164
try:
165
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
166
finally:
167
work_tree.unlock()
168
169
INTERNALS:
170
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
171
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
172
object.
173
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
174
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
175
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
176
177
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
178
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
179
too. (Robert Collins)
180
181
IMPROVEMENTS:
182
183
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
184
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
185
Aaron Bentley)
186
187
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
188
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
189
190
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
191
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
192
193
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
194
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
195
understanding what changes have occurred
196
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
197
198
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
199
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
200
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
201
202
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
203
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
204
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
205
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
206
207
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
208
#56322)
209
210
BUGFIXES:
211
212
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
213
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
214
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
215
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
216
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
217
218
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
219
based on split paths, not just string paths.
220
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
221
222
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
223
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
224
225
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
226
into account.
227
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
228
229
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
230
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
231
232
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
233
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
234
235
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
236
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
237
238
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
239
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
240
241
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
242
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
243
244
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
245
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
246
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
247
248
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
249
250
BUGFIXES:
251
252
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
253
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
254
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
255
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
256
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
257
258
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
259
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
260
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
261
262
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
263
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
264
265
IMPROVEMENTS:
266
267
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
268
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
269
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
270
271
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
272
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
273
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
274
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
275
276
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
277
278
BUGFIXES:
279
280
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
281
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
282
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
283
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
284
285
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
286
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
287
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
288
289
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
290
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
291
292
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
293
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
294
295
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
296
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
297
298
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
299
300
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
301
302
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
303
it could be recovered again.
304
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
305
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
306
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
307
but not delete it.
308
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
309
files.
310
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
311
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
312
313
IMPROVEMENTS:
314
315
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
316
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
317
318
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
319
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
320
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
321
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
322
323
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
324
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
325
326
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
327
tests with names that match that regular expression.
328
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
329
330
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
331
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
332
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
333
334
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
335
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
336
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
337
338
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
339
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
340
Robert Collins)
341
342
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
343
Pool)
344
345
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
346
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
347
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
348
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
349
350
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
351
(Robert Collins)
352
353
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
354
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
355
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
356
(Robert Collins)
357
358
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
359
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
360
361
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
362
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
363
364
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
365
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
366
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
367
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
368
(Robert Collins)
369
370
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
371
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
372
373
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
374
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
375
376
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
377
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
378
(Robert Collins, #107125).
379
380
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
381
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
382
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
383
384
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
385
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
386
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
387
388
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
389
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
390
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
391
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
392
393
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
394
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
395
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
396
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
397
398
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
399
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
400
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
401
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
402
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
403
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
404
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
405
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
406
header(s).
407
(Vincent Ladeuil).
408
409
INTERNALS:
410
411
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
412
code paths. (Robert Collins)
413
414
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
415
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
416
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
417
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
418
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
419
420
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
421
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
422
423
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
424
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
425
426
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
427
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
428
429
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
430
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
431
432
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
433
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
434
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
435
(Robert Collins).
436
437
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
438
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
439
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
440
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
441
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
442
(Robert Collins)
443
444
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
445
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
446
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
447
448
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
449
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
450
(Vincent Ladeuil).
451
452
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
453
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
454
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
455
(Vincent Ladeuil).
456
457
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
458
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
459
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
460
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
461
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
462
463
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
464
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
465
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
466
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
467
468
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
469
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
470
471
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
472
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
473
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
474
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
475
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
476
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
477
478
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
479
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
480
481
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
482
help. (Robert Collins)
483
484
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
485
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
486
487
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
488
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
489
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
490
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
491
(John Arbash Meinel)
492
493
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
494
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
495
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
496
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
497
useful. (Robert Collins)
498
499
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
500
(Andrew Bennetts)
501
502
BUGFIXES:
503
504
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
505
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
506
507
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
508
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
509
510
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
511
properly and is no longer beneficial.
512
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
513
514
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
515
(Aaron Bentley)
516
517
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
518
the file, and does it faster.
519
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
520
521
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
522
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
523
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
524
525
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
526
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
527
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
528
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
529
530
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
531
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
532
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
533
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
534
535
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
536
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
537
538
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
539
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
540
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
541
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
542
Arbash Meinel)
543
544
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
545
546
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
547
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
548
549
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
550
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
551
552
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
553
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
554
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
555
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
556
security hole.
557
(Vincent Ladeuil)
558
559
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
561
562
TESTING:
563
564
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
565
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
566
in running it. (Robert Collins)
567
568
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
569
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
570
571
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
572
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
573
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
574
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
575
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
576
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
577
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
578
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
579
580
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
581
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
582
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
583
584
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
585
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
586
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
587
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
588
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
589
access.
590
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
591
592
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
593
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
594
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
595
596
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
597
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
614
615
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
616
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
617
(Martin Pool)
618
619
IMPROVEMENTS:
620
621
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
622
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
623
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
624
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
625
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
626
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
627
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
628
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
629
path. (vila)
630
631
INTERNALS:
632
633
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
634
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
635
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
636
637
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
638
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
639
(Martin Pool)
640
641
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
642
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
643
(John Arbash Meinel)
644
645
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
646
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
647
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
648
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
649
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
650
651
BUGFIXES:
652
653
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
654
(vila, #92195)
655
656
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
657
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
658
659
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
660
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
661
662
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
663
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
664
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
665
666
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
667
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
668
669
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
670
last-changed-revision for directories. The
671
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
672
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
673
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
674
675
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
676
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
677
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
678
679
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
683
684
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
685
686
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
687
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
688
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
689
690
IMPROVEMENTS:
691
692
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
693
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
694
695
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
696
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
697
698
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
699
700
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
701
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
702
703
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
704
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
705
706
INTERNALS:
707
708
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
709
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
710
711
BUGFIXES:
712
713
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
714
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
715
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
716
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
717
718
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
719
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
720
721
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
722
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
723
724
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
725
(Marien Zwart)
726
727
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
728
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
729
730
731
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
732
733
SURPRISES:
734
735
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
736
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
737
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
738
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
739
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
740
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
741
742
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
743
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
744
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
745
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
746
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
747
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
748
development.
749
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
750
751
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
752
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
753
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
754
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
755
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
756
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
757
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
758
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
759
760
IMPROVEMENTS:
761
762
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
763
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
764
765
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
766
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
767
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
768
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
769
does exist.
770
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
771
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
772
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
773
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
774
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
775
776
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
777
(Aaron Bentley)
778
779
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
780
(Aaron Bentley)
781
782
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
783
(Robert Collins)
784
785
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
786
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
787
(Aaron Bentley)
788
789
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
790
(Aaron Bentley)
791
792
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
793
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
794
795
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
796
directory. (Martin Pool)
797
798
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
799
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
800
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
801
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
802
803
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
804
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
805
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
806
in docs/configuration.txt.
807
808
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
809
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
810
bind location.
811
812
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
813
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
814
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
815
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
816
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
817
repositories. (Martin Pool)
818
819
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
820
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
821
822
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
823
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
824
825
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
826
(Aaron Bentley)
827
828
INTERNALS:
829
830
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
831
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
832
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
833
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
834
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
835
(John Arbash Meinel)
836
837
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
838
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
839
(Aaron Bentley)
840
841
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
842
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
843
(John Arbash Meinel)
844
845
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
846
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
847
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
848
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
849
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
850
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
851
852
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
853
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
854
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
855
856
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
857
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
858
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
859
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
860
repository.
861
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
862
863
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
864
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
865
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
866
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
867
868
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
869
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
870
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
871
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
872
873
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
874
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
875
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
876
877
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
878
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
879
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
880
881
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
882
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
883
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
884
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
885
886
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
887
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
888
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
889
890
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
891
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
892
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
893
894
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
895
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
896
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
897
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
898
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
899
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
900
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
901
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
902
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

904
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
905
906
BUGFIXES:
907
908
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
909
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
910
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
911
912
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
913
(Aaron Bentley)
914
915
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
916
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
917
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
918
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
919
920
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
921
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
922
#83954).
923
924
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
925
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
926
927
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
928
929
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
930
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
931
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
932
933
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
934
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
935
936
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
938
939
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
941
942
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
943
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
944
945
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
946
947
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
948
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
949
950
TESTING:
951
952
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
953
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
957
958
IMPROVEMENTS:
959
960
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
961
962
BUG FIXES:
963
964
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
965
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
966
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
967
968
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
969
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
970
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
971
972
973
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
974
975
IMPROVEMENTS:
976
977
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
978
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
979
server, then you can write over the http connection.
980
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
981
982
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
983
(Marius Kruger)
984
985
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
986
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
987
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
988
989
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
990
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
991
992
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
993
(Aaron Bentley)
994
995
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
996
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
997
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
998
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
999
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1000
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1001
1002
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1003
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1004
should enable you to do::
1005
1006
[/home/user/project]
1007
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1008
push_location:policy = appendpath
1009
1010
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1011
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1012
(James Henstridge)
1013
1014
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1015
for each file. For example::
1016
1017
$ bzr status --short
1018
A foo
1019
A bar
1020
D baz
1021
? wooley
1022
1023
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1024
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1025
1026
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1027
1028
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1029
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1030
1031
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1032
1033
INTERNALS:
1034
1035
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1036
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1037
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1038
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1039
1040
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1041
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1042
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1043
1044
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1045
1046
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1047
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1048
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1049
(Alexander Belchenko)
1050
1051
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1052
Pool)
1053
1054
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1055
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1056
1057
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1058
1059
BUG FIXES:
1060
1061
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1062
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1063
1064
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1065
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1066
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1067
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1068
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1069
1070
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1071
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1072
1073
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1074
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1075
1076
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1077
matcher.
1078
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1079
1080
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1081
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1082
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1083
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1084
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1085
1086
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1087
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1088
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1089
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1090
1091
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1092
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1093
1094
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1095
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1096
1097
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1098
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1099
1100
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1111
1112
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1113
tree from a branch.
1114
(Daniel Silverstone)
1115
1116
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1117
operations are substantially faster.
1118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1119
1120
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1121
tree from some other url. For example:
1122
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1123
(Daniel Silverstone)
1124
1125
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1126
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1127
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1128
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1129
1130
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1131
(Andrew Bennetts)
1132
1133
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1134
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1135
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1136
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1137
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1138
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1139
1140
INTERNALS:
1141
1142
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1143
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1144
(Martin Pool)
1145
1146
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1147
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1148
(John Arbash Meinel)
1149
1150
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1151
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1152
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1153
(John Arbash Meinel)
1154
1155
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1156
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1157
1158
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1159
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1160
1161
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1162
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1163
Bennetts)
1164
1165
BUG FIXES:
1166
1167
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1168
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1169
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1170
1171
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1172
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1173
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1174
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1175
1176
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1177
1178
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1179
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1180
1181
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1182
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1183
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1184
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1185
1186
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1187
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1188
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1189
1190
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1191
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1192
them as full references rather than integers.
1193
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1194
1195
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1196
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1197
1198
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1199
1200
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1201
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1202
1203
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1204
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1205
1206
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1207
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1208
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1209
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1210
1211
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1212
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1213
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1214
1215
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1216
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1217
1218
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1219
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1220
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1221
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1222
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1223
1224
TESTING:
1225
1226
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1227
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1228
1229
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1230
1231
INTERNALS:
1232
1233
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1234
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1235
(John Arbash Meinel)
1236
1237
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1238
1239
IMPROVEMENTS:
1240
1241
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1242
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1243
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1244
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1245
1246
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1247
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1248
1249
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1250
1251
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1252
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1253
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1254
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1255
1256
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1257
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1258
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1259
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1260
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1261
1262
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1263
1264
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1265
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1266
1267
INTERNALS:
1268
1269
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1270
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1271
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1272
1273
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1274
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1275
(John Arbash Meinel)
1276
1277
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1278
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1279
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1280
1281
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1282
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1283
(Aaron Bentley)
1284
1285
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1286
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1287
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1288
1289
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1290
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1291
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1292
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1293
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1294
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1295
1296
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1297
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1298
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1299
(Robert Collins)
1300
1301
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1302
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1303
1304
BUG FIXES:
1305
1306
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1307
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1308
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1309
#63360, #66349)
1310
1311
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1312
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1313
1314
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1315
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1316
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1317
1318
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1319
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1320
1321
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1322
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1323
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1324
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1325
1326
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1327
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1328
1329
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1330
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1331
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1332
1333
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1334
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1335
1336
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1337
1338
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1339
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1340
#32054)
1341
1342
TESTING:
1343
1344
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1345
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1346
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1347
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1350
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1351
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1352

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1371
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1372
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1373
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1374
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1375
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1376
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1377
1378
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1379
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1380
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1381
1382
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1383
1384
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1385
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1386
1387
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1388
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1389
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1390
(Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1393
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1394
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1395
(John Arbash Meinel)
1396
1397
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1398
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1399
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1400
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1401
Pool)
1402
1403
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1404
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1405
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1406
(John Arbash Meinel)
1407
1408
BUG FIXES:
1409
1410
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1411
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1412
1413
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1414
1415
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1416
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1417
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1418
1419
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1420
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1421
1422
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1423
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1424
1425
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1426
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1427
1428
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1429
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1430
1431
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1432
1433
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1434
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1435
1436
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1437
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1438
1439
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1440
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1441
1442
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1443
(John Arbash Meinel)
1444
1445
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1446
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1447
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1448
1449
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1450
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1451
1452
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1453
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1454
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1455
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1456
1457
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1458
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1459
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1460
1461
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1462
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1463
1464
PORTABILITY:
1465
1466
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1467
1468
INTERNALS:
1469
1470
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1471
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1472
(John Arbash Meinel)
1473
1474
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1475
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1476
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1477
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1478
1479
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1480
(Andrew Bennetts)
1481
1482
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1483
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1484
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1485
1486
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1487
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1488
1489
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1490
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1491
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1492
1493
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1494
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1495
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1496
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1497
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1498
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1499
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1500
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1501
caller to repeat their request.
1502
(John Arbash Meinel)
1503
1504
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1505
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1506
1507
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1508
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1509
1510
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1511
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1512
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1513
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1514
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1515
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1516
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1517
1518
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1519
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1520
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1521
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1522
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1523
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1524
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1525
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1526
(Robert Collins)
1527
1528
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1529
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1530
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1531
1532
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1533
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1534
1535
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1536
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1537
1538
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1539
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1540
1541
TESTING:
1542
1543
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1544
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1545
1546
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1547
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1548
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1549
1550
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1551
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1552
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1553
1554
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1555
1556
IMPROVEMENTS:
1557
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1558
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1559
1560
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1561
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1562
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1563
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1564
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1565
1566
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1567
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1568
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1569
1570
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1571
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1572
1573
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1574
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1575
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1576
1577
BUG FIXES:
1578
1579
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1580
1581
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1582
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1583
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1584
1585
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1586
1587
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1588
1589
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1590
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1591
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1592
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1593
1594
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1595
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1596
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1597
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1598
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1599
1600
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1601
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1602
1603
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1604
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1605
1606
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1607
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1608
1609
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1610
in handling of revision properties.
1611
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1612
1613
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1614
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1615
1616
INTERNALS:
1617
1618
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1619
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1620
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1621
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1622
(John Arbash Meinel)
1623
1624
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1625
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1626
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1627
1628
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1629
1630
SURPRISES:
1631
1632
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1633
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1634
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1635
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1636
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1637
a more conservative list than the old default.
1638
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1639
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1640
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1641
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1642
1643
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1644
to more locations than just branch locations.
1645
(Aaron Bentley)
1646
1647
IMPROVEMENTS:
1648
1649
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1650
revno:N:branch. For example,
1651
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1652
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1653
1654
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1655
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1656
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1657
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1658
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1659
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1660
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1661
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1662
#42517, #42514)
1663
1664
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1665
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1666
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1667
(Malone #3507)
1668
1669
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1670
(Alexander Belchenko)
1671
1672
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1673
1674
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1675
(Robert Collins).
1676
1677
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1678
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1679
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1680
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1681
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1682
(John Arbash Meinel)
1683
1684
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1685
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1686
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1687
grained analysis of performance.
1688
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1689
1690
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1691
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1692
1693
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1694
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1695
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1696
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1697
file. (Robert Collins).
1698
1699
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1700
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1701
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1702
1703
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1704
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1705
Matthieu Moy)
1706
1707
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1708
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1709
1710
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1711
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1712
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1713
the same way you would apply another branch.
1714
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1715
1716
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1717
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1718
1719
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1720
(Michael Ellerman)
1721
1722
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1723
(Aaron Bentley)
1724
1725
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1726
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1727
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1728
1729
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1730
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1731
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1732
1733
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1734
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1735
1736
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1737
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1738
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1739
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1740
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1741
1742
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1743
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1744
1745
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1746
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1747
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1748
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1749
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1750
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1751
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1752
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1753
1754
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1755
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1756
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1757
1758
BUG FIXES:
1759
1760
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1761
tests not to run.
1762
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1763
1764
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1765
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1766
1767
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1768
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1769
1770
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1771
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1772
1773
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1774
1775
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1776
(John Arbash Meinel)
1777
1778
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1779
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1780
1781
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1782
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1783
and y.
1784
1785
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1786
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1787
1788
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1789
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1790
1791
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1792
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1793
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1794
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1795
1796
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1797
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1798
1799
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1800
1801
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1802
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1803
1804
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1805
1806
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1807
1808
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1809
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1810
1811
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1812
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1813
1814
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1815
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1816
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1817
1818
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1819
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1820
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1821
1822
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1823
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1824
1825
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1826
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1827
1828
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1829
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1830
1831
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1832
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1833
1834
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1835
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1836
1837
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1838
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1839
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1840
1841
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1842
1843
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1844
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1845
1846
INTERNALS:
1847
1848
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1849
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1850
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1851
1852
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1853
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1854
1855
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1856
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1857
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1858
1859
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1860
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1861
1862
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1863
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1864
(Martin Pool)
1865
1866
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1867
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1868
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1869
1870
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1871
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1872
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1873
1874
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1875
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1876
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1877
1878
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1879
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1880
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1881
1882
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1883
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1884
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1885
1886
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1887
instead. (Robert Collins)
1888
1889
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

1902
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1903
1904
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1905
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1906
1907
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1908
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

1919
1920
CHANGES:
1921
1922
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1923
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1924
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1925
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1926
1927
NEW FEATURES:
1928
1929
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1930
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1931
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1932
1933
INTERNALS:
1934
1935
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1936
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1937
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1938
1939
TESTING:
1940
1941
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1942
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

1944
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1945
1946
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1947
1948
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1949
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1950
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1951
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1952
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1953
will keep the same format.
1954
1955
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1956
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1957
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1958
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1959
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1960
1961
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1962
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1963
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1964
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1965
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1966
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1967
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1968
1969
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1970
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1971
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1972
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1973
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1974
1975
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1976
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1977
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1978
arrangement.
1979
1980
1981
IMPROVEMENTS:
1982
1983
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1984
convention. Paths now take the form::
1985
1986
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1987
or
1988
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1989
1990
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1991
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1992
1993
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1994
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1995
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1996
1997
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1998
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1999
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2000
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2001
2002
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2003
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2004
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2005
2006
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2007
2008
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2009
2010
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2011
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2012
commits::
2013
2014
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2015
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2016
| xargs bzr re-sign
2017
2018
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2019
2020
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2021
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2022
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2023
(Robert Collins)
2024
2025
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2026
2027
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2028
2029
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2030
'.moved'.
2031
2032
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2033
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2034
2035
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2036
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2037
Daniel Silverstone)
2038
2039
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2040
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2041
Martin Pool)
2042
2043
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2044
2045
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2046
2047
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2048
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2049
2050
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2051
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2052
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2053
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2054
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2055
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2056
2057
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2058
2059
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2060
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2061
(Robert Collins)
2062
2063
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2064
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2065
2066
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2067
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2068
2069
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2070
2071
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2072
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2073
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2074
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2075
specification by Martin Pool.
2076
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2077
2078
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2079
Belchenko)
2080
2081
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2082
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2083
2084
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2085
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2086
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2087
2088
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2089
2090
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2091
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2092
(Robert Collins)
2093
2094
CHANGES:
2095
2096
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2097
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2098
2099
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2100
2101
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2102
2103
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2104
(Olaf Conradi)
2105
2106
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2107
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2108
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2109
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2110
2111
INTERNALS:
2112
2113
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2114
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2115
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2116
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2117
2118
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2119
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2120
tried. (Martin Pool)
2121
2122
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2123
(Martin Pool)
2124
2125
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2126
2127
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2128
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2129
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2130
2131
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2132
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2133
2134
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2135
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2136
paths. (Robert Collins)
2137
2138
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2139
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2140
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2141
2142
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2143
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2144
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2145
2146
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2147
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2148
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2149
2150
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2151
(Olaf Conradi)
2152
2153
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2154
(Olaf Conradi)
2155
2156
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2157
2158
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2159
2160
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2161
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2162
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2163
(Robert Collins)
2164
2165
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2166
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2167
2168
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2169
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2170
check. (Robert Collins)
2171
2172
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2173
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2174
2175
TESTING:
2176
2177
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2178
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2179
2180
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2181
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2182
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2183
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2186
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2187
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2188
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2189
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2190
2191
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2192
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2193
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2194
2195
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2196
2197
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2198
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

2202
CHANGES:
2203
2204
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2205
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2206
2207
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2208
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2209
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2210
(Johan Rydberg)
2211
2212
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2213
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2214
2215
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2216
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2217
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2218
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2219
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2220
2221
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2222
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2223
used. (Robert Collins)
2224
2225
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2226
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2227
(James Henstridge)
2228
2229
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2230
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2231
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2232
2233
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2234
ignore list.
2235
2236
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2237
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2238
2239
IMPROVEMENTS:
2240
2241
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2242
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2243
2244
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2245
2246
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2247
2248
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2249
tree. (Robert Collins)
2250
2251
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2252
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2253
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2254
(Robert Collins)
2255
2256
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2257
that they be kept.
2258
2259
* Tweaks to short log printing
2260
2261
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2262
(Aaron Bentley)
2263
2264
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2265
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2266
2267
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2268
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2269
2270
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2271
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2272
2273
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2274
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2275
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2276
2277
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2278
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2279
2280
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2281
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2282
requests.
2283
2284
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2285
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2286
2287
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2288
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2289
2290
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2291
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2292
2293
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2294
(Denys Duchier)
2295
2296
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2297
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2298
2299
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2300
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2301
2302
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2303
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2304
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2305
2306
BUG FIXES:
2307
2308
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2309
2310
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2311
2312
* Error when run with -OO
2313
2314
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2315
(Martin Pool)
2316
2317
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2318
2319
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2320
2321
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2322
ignored by diff and status
2323
2324
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2325
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2326
2327
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2328
2329
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2330
2331
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2332
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2333
2334
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2335
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2336
2337
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2338
(Harald Meland)
2339
2340
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2341
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2342
2343
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2344
2345
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2346
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2347
2348
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2349
(Martin Pool)
2350
2351
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2352
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2353
2354
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2355
2356
TESTING:
2357
2358
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2359
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2360
2361
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2362
2363
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2364
2365
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2366
2367
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2368
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2369
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2370
2371
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2372
2373
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2374
(John Arbash Meinel)
2375
2376
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2377
2378
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2379
If adding a new test script please add that to
2380
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2381
2382
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2383
imported. (Martin Pool)
2384
2385
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2386
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2387
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2388
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2389
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2390
(Robert Collins)
2391
2392
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2393
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2394
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2395
2396
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2397
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2398
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2399
2400
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2401
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2402
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2403
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2404
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2405
(Robert Collins).
2406
2407
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2408
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2409
(Robert Collins).
2410
2411
INTERNALS:
2412
2413
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2414
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2415
2416
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2417
function. (Robert Collins)
2418
2419
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2420
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2421
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2422
2423
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2424
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2425
(Robert Collins)
2426
2427
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2428
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2429
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2430
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2431
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2432
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2433
version. (Robert Collins)
2434
2435
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2436
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2437
2438
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2439
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2440
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2441
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2442
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2443
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2444
2445
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2446
(Robert Collins)
2447
2448
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2449
2450
add()
2451
commit()
2452
move()
2453
rename_one()
2454
unknowns()
2455
2456
(Robert Collins)
2457
2458
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2459
2460
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2461
2462
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2463
Pool)
2464
2465
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2466
query method. (Robert Collins)
2467
2468
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2469
(Denys Duchier)
2470
2471
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2472
(Michael Ellerman)
2473
2474
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2475
(Michael Ellerman)
2476
2477
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2478
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2479
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2480
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2481
2482
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2483
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2484
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2485
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2486
2487
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2488
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2489
2490
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
2491
2492
IMPROVEMENTS:
2493
2494
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2495
(John A Meinel)
2496
2497
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2498
conflicts.
2499
(Aaron Bentley)
2500
2501
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2502
a separator, not ':'.
2503
(Aaron Bentley)
2504
2505
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2506
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2507
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2508
2509
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2510
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2511
(Robert Collins)
2512
2513
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2514
has been added that suppresses all output.
2515
2516
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2517
Adams.
2518
2519
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2520
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2521
2522
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2523
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2524
2525
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2526
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2527
2528
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2529
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2530
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2531
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2532
2533
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2534
2535
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2536
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2537
2538
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2539
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2540
2541
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2542
output directory, if one was supplied.
2543
2544
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2545
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2546
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2547
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2550
2551
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2552
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2553
2554
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2555
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2556
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2557
2558
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2559
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2560
2561
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2562
(Aaron Bentley)
2563
2564
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2565
2566
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2567
2568
TESTING:
2569
2570
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2571
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2572
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2573
2574
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2575
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2576
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2577
2578
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2579
is given. (Martin Pool)
2580
2581
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2582
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2583
file. (Robert Collins)
2584
2585
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2586
(Martin Pool)
2587
2588
INTERNALS:
2589
2590
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2591
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2592
representation. (Martin Pool).
2593
2594
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2595
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2596
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2597
2598
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2599
(Robert Collins)
2600
2601
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2602
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2603
Magnus Therning.
2604
2605
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2606
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2607
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2608
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2609
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2610
2611
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2612
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2613
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2614
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2615
python path. (Robert Collins)
2616
2617
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2618
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2619
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2620
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2621
2622
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2623
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2624
2625
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2626
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2627
(Robert Collins)
2628
2629
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2630
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2631
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2632
2633
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2634
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2635
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2636
2637
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2638
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2639
2640
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2641
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2642
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2643
(Robert Collins)
2644
2645
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2646
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2647
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2648
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2649
(Robert Collins)
2650
2651
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2652
(Robert Collins)
2653
2654
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2655
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2656
(Robert Collins)
2657
2658
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2659
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2660
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2661
2662
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2663
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2664
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2665
2666
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2667
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2668
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2669
2670
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2671
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2672
2673
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2674
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2675
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2676
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2677
caller. (Robert Collins)
2678
2679
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2680
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2681
(Robert Collins).
2682
2683
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2684
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2685
(Aaron Bentley)
2686
2687
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2688
2689
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2690
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2691
2692
BUG FIXES:
2693
2694
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2695
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2696
2697
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2698
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

2701
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2702
2703
BUG FIXES:
2704
2705
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2706
allow directories to be listed.
2707
2708
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2709
upgrading branch format.
2710
2711
PERFORMANCE:
2712
2713
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

2716
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2717
2718
NOTES:
2719
2720
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2721
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2722
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2723
high-latency connections.
2724
2725
BUG FIXES:
2726
2727
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2728
Rob Weir.
2729
2730
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2731
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2732
2733
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2734
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2735
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2736
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2737
2738
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2739
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2740
2741
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2742
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2743
2744
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2745
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2746
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2747
2748
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2749
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2750
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2751
Robert Collins
2752
2753
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2754
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2755
2756
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2757
different partial views of history.
2758
2759
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2760
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2761
2762
IMPROVEMENTS:
2763
2764
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2765
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2766
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2767
2768
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2769
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2770
'bzr upgrade'.
2771
2772
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2773
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2774
2775
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2776
Niemeyer.
2777
2778
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2779
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2780
2781
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2782
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2783
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2784
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2785
2786
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2787
2788
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2789
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2790
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2791
2792
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2793
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2794
2795
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2796
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2797
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2798
2799
2800
INTERNALS:
2801
2802
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2803
for your viewing pleasure.
2804
2805
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2806
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2807
2808
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2809
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2810
handling of such circumstances.
2811
2812
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2813
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2814
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2815
2816
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2817
2818
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2819
we call them revisions not patches.
2820
2821
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2822
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2823
2824
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2825
giving the revision *of that file*.
2826
2827
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2828
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2829
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2830
2831
TESTING:
2832
2833
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2834
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2835
2836
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2837
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2838
2839
2840
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2841
2842
BUG FIXES:
2843
2844
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2845
2846
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2847
(Robert Collins).
2848
2849
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2850
2851
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2852
2853
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2854
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2855
2856
IMPROVEMENTS:
2857
2858
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2859
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2860
2861
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2862
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2863
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2864
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2865
Robey Pointer
2866
2867
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2868
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2869
2870
INTERNALS:
2871
2872
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2873
2874
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2875
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2876
2877
2878
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2879
2880
IMPROVEMENTS:
2881
2882
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2883
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2884
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2885
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2886
Michael Ellerman.
2887
2888
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2889
(Nir Soffer)
2890
2891
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2892
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2893
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2894
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2895
for the operating system is still tried.
2896
2897
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2898
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2899
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2900
2901
2902
INTERNALS:
2903
2904
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2905
2906
BUG FIXES:
2907
2908
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2909
2910
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2911
branch.
2912
2913
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2914
read.
2915
2916
2917
PORTABILITY:
2918
2919
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2920
2921
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2922
2923
2924
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2925
2926
NEW FEATURES:
2927
2928
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2929
help with intelligent shell completion.
2930
2931
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2932
2933
2934
ENHANCEMENTS:
2935
2936
* Much better merge support.
2937
2938
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2939
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2940
like emacs smerge.
2941
2942
2943
BUG FIXES:
2944
2945
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2946
mention revisions that are not present.
2947
2948
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2949
2950
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2951
2952
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2953
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2954
2955
2956
CHANGES:
2957
2958
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2959
2960
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2961
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2962
--help themselves.
2963
2964
2965
LIBRARY:
2966
2967
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2968
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2969
libraries.
2970
2971
2972
2973
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2974
2975
NEW FEATURES:
2976
2977
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2978
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2979
2980
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2981
2982
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2983
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2984
2985
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2986
FOO.
2987
2988
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2989
2990
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2991
the Unix command.
2992
2993
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2994
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2995
2996
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2997
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2998
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2999
3000
3001
ENHANCEMENTS:
3002
3003
* Faster working tree operations.
3004
3005
3006
CHANGES:
3007
3008
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3009
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3010
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3011
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3012
3013
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3014
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3015
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3016
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3017
standard plugins directory.
3018
3019
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3020
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3021
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3022
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3023
3024
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3025
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3026
3027
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3028
disk.
3029
3030
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3031
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3032
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3033
3034
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3035
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3036
3037
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3038
line options must come before the command name because they
3039
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3040
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3041
it.
3042
3043
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3044
3045
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3046
is available with ``--short``.
3047
3048
3049
BUG FIXES:
3050
3051
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3052
3053
3054
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3055
3056
CHANGES:
3057
3058
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3059
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3060
3061
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3062
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3063
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3064
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3065
3066
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3067
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3068
with the ``--forward`` option.
3069
3070
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3071
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3072
field.
3073
3074
3075
ENHANCEMENTS:
3076
3077
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3078
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3079
3080
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3081
3082
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3083
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3084
3085
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3086
3087
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3088
either read or write mode.
3089
3090
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3091
3092
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3093
affected that file.
3094
3095
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3096
3097
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3098
suggested by LarstiQ.
3099
3100
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3101
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3102
3103
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3104
a filename.
3105
3106
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3107
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3108
3109
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3110
haven't changed since the previous time.
3111
3112
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3113
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3114
3115
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3116
3117
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3118
3119
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3120
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3121
3122
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3123
options through to an external GNU diff.
3124
3125
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3126
their contents.
3127
3128
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3129
from a branch.
3130
3131
3132
BUG FIXES:
3133
3134
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3135
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3136
3137
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3138
metacharacters.
3139
3140
3141
TESTING:
3142
3143
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3144
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3145
the tests.
3146
3147
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3148
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3149
3150
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3151
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3152
3153
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3154
under a different version.
3155
3156
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3157
3158
3159
INTERNAL:
3160
3161
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3162
3163
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3164
Scott James Remnant.
3165
3166
* Better help messages for many commands.
3167
3168
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3169
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3170
3171
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3172
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3173
3174
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3175
3176
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3177
3178
* New AtomicFile class.
3179
3180
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3181
3182
3183
PORTABILITY:
3184
3185
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3186
2.4 is now only recommended.
3187

3189
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3190
3191
ENHANCEMENTS:
3192
3193
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3194
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3195
3196
* More default ignore patterns.
3197
3198
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3199
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3200
3201
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3202
3203
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3204
by Jason Diamon.
3205
3206
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3207
3208
3209
CHANGES:
3210
3211
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3212
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3213
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3214
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3215
there are DNS problems.
3216
3217
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3218
3219
3220
BUG FIXES:
3221
3222
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3223
3224
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3225
3226
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3227
trailing newlines properly.
3228
3229
3230
INTERNAL:
3231
3232
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3233
Matt Brubeck.
3234
3235
* More tests in test.sh.
3236
3237
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3238
directory and delete it when done.
3239
3240
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3241
3242
3243
PORTABILITY:
3244
3245
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3246
Bennetts.
3247
3248
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3249
from QuantumG.

bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3253
3254
ENHANCEMENTS:
3255
3256
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3257
in the tree.
3258
3259
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3260
3261
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3262
and/or directory.
3263
3264
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3265
directory.
3266
3267
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3268
3269
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3270
3271
CHANGES:
3272
3273
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3274
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3275
will do for now.)
3276
3277
PORTABILITY:
3278
3279
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3280
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3281
Nielsen.
