IN DEVELOPMENT

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
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
16
authentication header.
17
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
18
19
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
20
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
21
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
22
23
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
24
individually and as part of revision ranges.
25
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
26
27
IMPROVEMENTS:
28
29
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
30
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
31
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
32
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
33
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
34
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
35
36
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
37
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
38
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
39
40
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
41
(Elliot Murphy)
42
43
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
44
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
45
46
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
47
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
48
49
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
50
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
51
52
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
53
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
54
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
55
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
56
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
57
58
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
59
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
60
61
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
62
can be slow it is useful feedback).
63
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
64
65
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
66
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
67
68
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
69
output. (Aaron Bentley)
70
71
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
72
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
73
(Robert Collins)
74
75
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
76
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
77
78
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
79
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
80
81
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
82
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
83
84
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
85
86
* Testing cleanups -
87
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
88
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
89
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
90
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
91
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
92
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
93
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
94
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
95
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
96
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
97
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
98
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
99
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
100
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
101
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
102
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
103
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
104
(Robert Collins)
105
106
INTERNALS:
107
108
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
109
110
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
111
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
112
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
113
114
TESTING:
115
116
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
117
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
118
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
119
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
120
121
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
122
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
123
testing. (Robert Collins)
124
125
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
126
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
127
128
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
129
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
130
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
131
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
132
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
133
attribute during the test parameterisation in
134
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
135
136
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
137
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
138
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
139
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
140
141
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
142
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
143
144
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
145
avoid useless cloning.
146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
147
148
149
bzr 0.17 2007-06-18
150
151
BUGFIXES:
152
153
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
154
(Colin Watson, #120647)
155
156
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
157
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
158
159
160
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
161
162
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
163
164
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
165
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
166
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
167
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
168
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
169
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
170
and unlock() like so::
171
172
work_tree.lock_read()
173
try:
174
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
175
finally:
176
work_tree.unlock()
177
178
INTERNALS:
179
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
180
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
181
object.
182
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
183
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
184
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
185
186
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
187
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
188
too. (Robert Collins)
189
190
IMPROVEMENTS:
191
192
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
193
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
194
Aaron Bentley)
195
196
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
197
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
198
199
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
200
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
201
202
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
203
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
204
understanding what changes have occurred
205
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
206
207
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
208
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
209
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
210
211
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
212
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
213
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
214
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
215
216
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
217
#56322)
218
219
BUGFIXES:
220
221
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
222
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
223
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
224
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
225
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
226
227
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
228
based on split paths, not just string paths.
229
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
230
231
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
233
234
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
235
into account.
236
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
237
238
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
239
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
240
241
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
242
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
243
244
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
245
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
246
247
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
248
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
249
250
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
251
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
252
253
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
254
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
255
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
256
257
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
258
259
BUGFIXES:
260
261
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
262
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
263
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
264
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
265
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
266
267
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
268
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
269
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
270
271
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
272
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
273
274
IMPROVEMENTS:
275
276
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
277
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
278
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
279
280
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
281
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
282
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
283
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
284
285
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
286
287
BUGFIXES:
288
289
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
290
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
291
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
292
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
293
294
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
295
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
296
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
297
298
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
299
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
300
301
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
302
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
303
304
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
305
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
306
307
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
308
309
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
310
311
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
312
it could be recovered again.
313
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
314
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
315
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
316
but not delete it.
317
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
318
files.
319
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
320
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
321
322
IMPROVEMENTS:
323
324
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
325
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
326
327
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
328
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
329
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
330
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
331
332
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
333
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
334
335
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
336
tests with names that match that regular expression.
337
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
338
339
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
340
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
341
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
342
343
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
344
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
345
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
346
347
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
348
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
349
Robert Collins)
350
351
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
352
Pool)
353
354
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
355
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
356
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
357
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
358
359
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
360
(Robert Collins)
361
362
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
363
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
364
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
365
(Robert Collins)
366
367
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
368
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
369
370
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
371
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
372
373
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
374
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
375
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
376
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
377
(Robert Collins)
378
379
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
380
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
381
382
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
383
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
384
385
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
386
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
387
(Robert Collins, #107125).
388
389
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
390
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
391
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
392
393
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
394
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
395
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
396
397
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
398
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
399
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
400
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
401
402
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
403
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
404
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
405
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
406
407
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
408
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
409
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
410
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
411
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
412
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
413
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
414
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
415
header(s).
416
(Vincent Ladeuil).
417
418
INTERNALS:
419
420
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
421
code paths. (Robert Collins)
422
423
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
424
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
425
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
426
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
427
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
428
429
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
430
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
431
432
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
433
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
434
435
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
436
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
437
438
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
439
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
440
441
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
442
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
443
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
444
(Robert Collins).
445
446
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
447
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
448
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
449
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
450
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
451
(Robert Collins)
452
453
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
454
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
455
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
456
457
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
458
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
459
(Vincent Ladeuil).
460
461
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
462
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
463
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
464
(Vincent Ladeuil).
465
466
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
467
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
468
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
469
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
470
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
471
472
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
473
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
474
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
475
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
476
477
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
478
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
479
480
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
481
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
482
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
483
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
484
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
485
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
486
487
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
488
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
489
490
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
491
help. (Robert Collins)
492
493
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
494
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
495
496
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
497
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
498
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
499
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
500
(John Arbash Meinel)
501
502
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
503
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
504
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
505
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
506
useful. (Robert Collins)
507
508
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
509
(Andrew Bennetts)
510
511
BUGFIXES:
512
513
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
514
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
515
516
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
517
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
518
519
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
520
properly and is no longer beneficial.
521
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
522
523
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
524
(Aaron Bentley)
525
526
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
527
the file, and does it faster.
528
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
529
530
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
531
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
532
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
533
534
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
535
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
536
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
537
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
538
539
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
540
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
541
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
542
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
543
544
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
545
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
546
547
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
548
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
549
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
550
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
551
Arbash Meinel)
552
553
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
554
555
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
556
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
557
558
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
559
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
560
561
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
562
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
563
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
564
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
565
security hole.
566
(Vincent Ladeuil)
567
568
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
569
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
570
571
TESTING:
572
573
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
574
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
575
in running it. (Robert Collins)
576
577
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
578
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
579
580
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
581
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
582
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
583
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
584
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
585
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
586
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
587
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
588
589
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
590
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
591
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
592
593
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
594
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
595
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
596
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
597
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
598
access.
599
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
600
601
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
602
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
603
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
604
605
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
606
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

BUGFIXES:
612
613
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
614
(Aaron Bentley)
615
616
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
617
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

621
622
CHANGES:
623
624
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
625
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
626
(Martin Pool)
627
628
IMPROVEMENTS:
629
630
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
631
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
632
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
633
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
634
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
635
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
636
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
637
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
638
path. (vila)
639
640
INTERNALS:
641
642
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
643
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
644
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
645
646
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
647
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
648
(Martin Pool)
649
650
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
651
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
652
(John Arbash Meinel)
653
654
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
655
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
656
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
657
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
658
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
659
660
BUGFIXES:
661
662
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
663
(vila, #92195)
664
665
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
666
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
667
668
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
669
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
670
671
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
672
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
673
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
674
675
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
676
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
677
678
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
679
last-changed-revision for directories. The
680
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
681
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
682
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
683
684
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
685
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
686
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
687
688
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
692
693
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
694
695
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
696
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
697
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
698
699
IMPROVEMENTS:
700
701
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
702
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
703
704
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
705
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
706
707
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
708
709
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
710
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
711
712
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
713
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
714
715
INTERNALS:
716
717
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
718
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
719
720
BUGFIXES:
721
722
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
723
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
724
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
725
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
726
727
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
728
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
729
730
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
731
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
732
733
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
734
(Marien Zwart)
735
736
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
737
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
738
739
740
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
741
742
SURPRISES:
743
744
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
745
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
746
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
747
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
748
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
749
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
750
751
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
752
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
753
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
754
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
755
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
756
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
757
development.
758
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
759
760
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
761
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
762
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
763
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
764
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
765
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
766
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
767
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
768
769
IMPROVEMENTS:
770
771
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
772
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
773
774
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
775
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
776
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
777
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
778
does exist.
779
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
780
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
781
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
782
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
783
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
784
785
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
786
(Aaron Bentley)
787
788
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
789
(Aaron Bentley)
790
791
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
792
(Robert Collins)
793
794
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
795
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
796
(Aaron Bentley)
797
798
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
799
(Aaron Bentley)
800
801
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
802
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
803
804
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
805
directory. (Martin Pool)
806
807
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
808
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
809
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
810
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
811
812
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
813
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
814
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
815
in docs/configuration.txt.
816
817
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
818
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
819
bind location.
820
821
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
822
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
823
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
824
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
825
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
826
repositories. (Martin Pool)
827
828
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
829
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
830
831
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
832
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
833
834
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
835
(Aaron Bentley)
836
837
INTERNALS:
838
839
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
840
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
841
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
842
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
843
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
844
(John Arbash Meinel)
845
846
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
847
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
848
(Aaron Bentley)
849
850
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
851
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
852
(John Arbash Meinel)
853
854
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
855
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
856
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
857
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
858
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
859
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
860
861
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
862
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
863
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
864
865
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
866
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
867
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
868
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
869
repository.
870
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
871
872
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
873
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
874
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
875
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
876
877
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
878
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
879
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
880
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
881
882
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
883
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
884
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
885
886
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
887
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
888
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
889
890
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
891
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
892
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
893
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
894
895
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
896
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
897
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
898
899
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
900
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
901
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
902
903
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
904
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
905
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
906
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
907
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
908
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
909
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
910
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
911
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

915
BUGFIXES:
916
917
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
918
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
919
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
920
921
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
922
(Aaron Bentley)
923
924
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
925
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
926
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
927
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
928
929
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
930
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
931
#83954).
932
933
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
934
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
935
936
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
937
938
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
939
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
940
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
941
942
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
943
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
944
945
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
946
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
947
948
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
950
951
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
952
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
953
954
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
955
956
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
957
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
958
959
TESTING:
960
961
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
962
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
966
967
IMPROVEMENTS:
968
969
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
970
971
BUG FIXES:
972
973
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
974
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
975
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
976
977
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
978
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
979
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
980
981
982
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
983
984
IMPROVEMENTS:
985
986
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
987
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
988
server, then you can write over the http connection.
989
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
990
991
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
992
(Marius Kruger)
993
994
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
995
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
996
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
997
998
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
999
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1000
1001
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1002
(Aaron Bentley)
1003
1004
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1005
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1006
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1007
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1008
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1009
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1010
1011
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1012
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1013
should enable you to do::
1014
1015
[/home/user/project]
1016
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1017
push_location:policy = appendpath
1018
1019
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1020
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1021
(James Henstridge)
1022
1023
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1024
for each file. For example::
1025
1026
$ bzr status --short
1027
A foo
1028
A bar
1029
D baz
1030
? wooley
1031
1032
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1033
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1034
1035
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1036
1037
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1038
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1039
1040
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1041
1042
INTERNALS:
1043
1044
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1045
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1046
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1047
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1048
1049
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1050
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1051
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1052
1053
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1054
1055
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1056
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1057
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1058
(Alexander Belchenko)
1059
1060
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1061
Pool)
1062
1063
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1064
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1065
1066
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1067
1068
BUG FIXES:
1069
1070
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1071
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1072
1073
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1074
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1075
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1076
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1077
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1078
1079
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1080
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1081
1082
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1083
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1084
1085
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1086
matcher.
1087
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1088
1089
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1090
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1091
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1092
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1093
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1094
1095
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1096
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1097
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1098
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1099
1100
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1101
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1102
1103
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1104
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1105
1106
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1107
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1108
1109
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1120
1121
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1122
tree from a branch.
1123
(Daniel Silverstone)
1124
1125
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1126
operations are substantially faster.
1127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1128
1129
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1130
tree from some other url. For example:
1131
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1132
(Daniel Silverstone)
1133
1134
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1135
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1136
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1137
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1138
1139
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1140
(Andrew Bennetts)
1141
1142
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1143
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1144
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1145
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1146
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1147
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1148
1149
INTERNALS:
1150
1151
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1152
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1153
(Martin Pool)
1154
1155
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1156
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1157
(John Arbash Meinel)
1158
1159
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1160
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1161
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1162
(John Arbash Meinel)
1163
1164
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1165
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1166
1167
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1168
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1169
1170
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1171
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1172
Bennetts)
1173
1174
BUG FIXES:
1175
1176
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1177
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1178
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1179
1180
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1181
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1182
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1183
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1184
1185
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1186
1187
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1188
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1189
1190
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1191
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1192
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1193
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1194
1195
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1196
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1197
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1198
1199
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1200
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1201
them as full references rather than integers.
1202
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1203
1204
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1205
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1206
1207
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1208
1209
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1210
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1211
1212
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1213
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1214
1215
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1216
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1217
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1218
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1219
1220
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1221
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1222
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1223
1224
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1225
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1226
1227
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1228
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1229
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1230
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1231
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1232
1233
TESTING:
1234
1235
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1236
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1237
1238
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1239
1240
INTERNALS:
1241
1242
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1243
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1244
(John Arbash Meinel)
1245
1246
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1247
1248
IMPROVEMENTS:
1249
1250
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1251
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1252
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1253
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1254
1255
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1256
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1257
1258
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1259
1260
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1261
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1262
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1263
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1264
1265
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1266
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1267
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1268
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1269
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1270
1271
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1272
1273
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1274
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1275
1276
INTERNALS:
1277
1278
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1279
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1280
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1281
1282
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1283
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1284
(John Arbash Meinel)
1285
1286
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1287
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1288
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1289
1290
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1291
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1292
(Aaron Bentley)
1293
1294
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1295
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1296
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1297
1298
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1299
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1300
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1301
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1302
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1303
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1304
1305
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1306
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1307
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1308
(Robert Collins)
1309
1310
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1311
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1312
1313
BUG FIXES:
1314
1315
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1316
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1317
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1318
#63360, #66349)
1319
1320
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1321
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1322
1323
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1324
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1325
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1326
1327
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1328
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1329
1330
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1331
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1332
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1333
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1334
1335
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1336
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1337
1338
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1339
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1340
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1341
1342
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1343
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1344
1345
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1346
1347
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1348
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1349
#32054)
1350
1351
TESTING:
1352
1353
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1354
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1355
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1356
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1357
1358
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1359
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1360
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1361
1362
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

1369
1370
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1371
1372
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1373
Arbash Meinel).
1374
1375
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1376
1377
IMPROVEMENTS:
1378
1379
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1380
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1381
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1382
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1383
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1384
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1385
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1386
1387
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1388
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1389
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1390
1391
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1392
1393
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1394
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1395
1396
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1397
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1398
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1399
(Robert Collins)
1400
1401
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1402
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1403
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1404
(John Arbash Meinel)
1405
1406
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1407
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1408
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1409
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1410
Pool)
1411
1412
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1413
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1414
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1415
(John Arbash Meinel)
1416
1417
BUG FIXES:
1418
1419
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1420
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1421
1422
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1423
1424
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1425
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1426
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1427
1428
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1429
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1430
1431
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1432
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1433
1434
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1435
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1436
1437
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1438
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1439
1440
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1441
1442
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1443
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1444
1445
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1446
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1447
1448
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1449
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1450
1451
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1452
(John Arbash Meinel)
1453
1454
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1455
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1456
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1457
1458
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1459
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1460
1461
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1462
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1463
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1464
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1465
1466
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1467
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1468
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1469
1470
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1471
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1472
1473
PORTABILITY:
1474
1475
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1476
1477
INTERNALS:
1478
1479
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1480
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1481
(John Arbash Meinel)
1482
1483
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1484
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1485
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1486
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1487
1488
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1489
(Andrew Bennetts)
1490
1491
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1492
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1493
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1494
1495
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1496
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1497
1498
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1499
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1500
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1501
1502
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1503
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1504
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1505
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1506
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1507
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1508
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1509
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1510
caller to repeat their request.
1511
(John Arbash Meinel)
1512
1513
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1514
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1515
1516
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1517
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1518
1519
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1520
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1521
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1522
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1523
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1524
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1525
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1526
1527
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1528
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1529
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1530
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1531
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1532
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1533
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1534
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1535
(Robert Collins)
1536
1537
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1538
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1539
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1540
1541
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1542
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1543
1544
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1545
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1546
1547
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1548
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1549
1550
TESTING:
1551
1552
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1553
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1554
1555
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1556
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1557
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1558
1559
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1560
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1561
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1562
1563
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1564
1565
IMPROVEMENTS:
1566
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1567
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1568
1569
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1570
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1571
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1572
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1573
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1574
1575
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1576
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1577
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1578
1579
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1580
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1581
1582
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1583
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1584
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1585
1586
BUG FIXES:
1587
1588
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1589
1590
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1591
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1592
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1593
1594
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1595
1596
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1597
1598
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1599
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1600
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1601
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1602
1603
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1604
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1605
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1606
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1607
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1608
1609
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1610
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1611
1612
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1613
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1614
1615
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1616
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1617
1618
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1619
in handling of revision properties.
1620
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1621
1622
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1623
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1624
1625
INTERNALS:
1626
1627
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1628
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1629
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1630
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1631
(John Arbash Meinel)
1632
1633
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1634
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1635
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1636
1637
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1638
1639
SURPRISES:
1640
1641
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1642
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1643
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1644
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1645
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1646
a more conservative list than the old default.
1647
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1648
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1649
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1650
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1651
1652
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1653
to more locations than just branch locations.
1654
(Aaron Bentley)
1655
1656
IMPROVEMENTS:
1657
1658
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1659
revno:N:branch. For example,
1660
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1661
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1662
1663
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1664
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1665
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1666
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1667
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1668
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1669
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1670
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1671
#42517, #42514)
1672
1673
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1674
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1675
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1676
(Malone #3507)
1677
1678
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1679
(Alexander Belchenko)
1680
1681
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1682
1683
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1684
(Robert Collins).
1685
1686
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1687
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1688
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1689
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1690
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1691
(John Arbash Meinel)
1692
1693
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1694
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1695
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1696
grained analysis of performance.
1697
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1698
1699
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1700
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1701
1702
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1703
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1704
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1705
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1706
file. (Robert Collins).
1707
1708
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1709
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1710
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1711
1712
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1713
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1714
Matthieu Moy)
1715
1716
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1717
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1718
1719
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1720
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1721
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1722
the same way you would apply another branch.
1723
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1724
1725
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1726
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1727
1728
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1729
(Michael Ellerman)
1730
1731
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1732
(Aaron Bentley)
1733
1734
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1735
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1736
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1737
1738
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1739
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1740
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1741
1742
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1743
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1744
1745
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1746
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1747
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1748
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1749
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1750
1751
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1752
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1753
1754
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1755
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1756
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1757
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1758
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1759
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1760
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1761
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1762
1763
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1764
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1765
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1766
1767
BUG FIXES:
1768
1769
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1770
tests not to run.
1771
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1772
1773
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1774
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1775
1776
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1777
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1778
1779
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1780
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1781
1782
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1783
1784
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1785
(John Arbash Meinel)
1786
1787
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1788
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1789
1790
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1791
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1792
and y.
1793
1794
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1795
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1796
1797
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1798
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1799
1800
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1801
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1802
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1803
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1804
1805
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1806
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1807
1808
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1809
1810
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1811
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1812
1813
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1814
1815
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1816
1817
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1818
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1819
1820
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1821
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1822
1823
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1824
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1825
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1826
1827
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1828
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1829
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1830
1831
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1832
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1833
1834
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1835
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1836
1837
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1838
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1839
1840
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1841
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1842
1843
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1844
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1845
1846
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1847
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1848
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1849
1850
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1851
1852
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1853
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1854
1855
INTERNALS:
1856
1857
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1858
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1859
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1860
1861
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1862
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1863
1864
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1865
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1866
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1867
1868
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1869
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1870
1871
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1872
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1873
(Martin Pool)
1874
1875
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1876
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1877
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1878
1879
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1880
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1881
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1882
1883
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1884
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1885
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1886
1887
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1888
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1889
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1890
1891
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1892
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1893
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1894
1895
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1896
instead. (Robert Collins)
1897
1898
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

NEW FEATURES:
1937
1938
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1954
1955
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1956
1957
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1958
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1959
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1960
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1961
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1962
will keep the same format.
1963
1964
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1965
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1966
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1967
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1968
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1969
1970
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1971
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1972
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1973
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1974
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1975
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1976
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1977
1978
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1979
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1980
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1981
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1982
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1983
1984
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1985
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1986
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1987
arrangement.
1988
1989
1990
IMPROVEMENTS:
1991
1992
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1993
convention. Paths now take the form::
1994
1995
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1996
or
1997
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1998
1999
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2000
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2001
2002
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2003
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2004
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2005
2006
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2007
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2008
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2009
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2010
2011
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2012
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2013
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2014
2015
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2016
2017
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2018
2019
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2020
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2021
commits::
2022
2023
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2024
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2025
| xargs bzr re-sign
2026
2027
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2028
2029
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2030
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2031
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2032
(Robert Collins)
2033
2034
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2035
2036
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2037
2038
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2039
'.moved'.
2040
2041
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2042
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2043
2044
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2045
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2046
Daniel Silverstone)
2047
2048
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2049
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2050
Martin Pool)
2051
2052
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2053
2054
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2055
2056
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2057
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2058
2059
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2060
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2061
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2062
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2063
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2064
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2065
2066
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2067
2068
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2069
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2070
(Robert Collins)
2071
2072
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2073
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2074
2075
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2076
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2077
2078
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2079
2080
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2081
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2082
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2083
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2084
specification by Martin Pool.
2085
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2086
2087
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2088
Belchenko)
2089
2090
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2091
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2092
2093
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2094
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2095
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2096
2097
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2098
2099
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2100
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2101
(Robert Collins)
2102
2103
CHANGES:
2104
2105
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2106
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2107
2108
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2109
2110
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2111
2112
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2113
(Olaf Conradi)
2114
2115
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2116
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2117
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2118
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2119
2120
INTERNALS:
2121
2122
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2123
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2124
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2125
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2126
2127
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2128
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2129
tried. (Martin Pool)
2130
2131
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2132
(Martin Pool)
2133
2134
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2135
2136
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2137
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2138
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2139
2140
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2141
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2142
2143
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2144
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2145
paths. (Robert Collins)
2146
2147
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2148
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2149
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2150
2151
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2152
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2153
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2154
2155
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2156
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2157
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2158
2159
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2160
(Olaf Conradi)
2161
2162
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2163
(Olaf Conradi)
2164
2165
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2166
2167
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2168
2169
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2170
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2171
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2172
(Robert Collins)
2173
2174
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2175
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2176
2177
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2178
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2179
check. (Robert Collins)
2180
2181
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2182
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2183
2184
TESTING:
2185
2186
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2187
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2188
2189
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2190
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2191
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2192
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2195
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2196
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2197
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2198
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2199
2200
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2201
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2202
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2203
2204
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2205
2206
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2207
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

CHANGES:
2212
2213
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2214
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2215
2216
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2217
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2218
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2219
(Johan Rydberg)
2220
2221
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2222
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2223
2224
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2225
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2226
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2227
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2228
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2229
2230
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2231
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2232
used. (Robert Collins)
2233
2234
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2235
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2236
(James Henstridge)
2237
2238
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2239
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2240
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2241
2242
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2243
ignore list.
2244
2245
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2246
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2251
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2252
2253
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2254
2255
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2256
2257
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2258
tree. (Robert Collins)
2259
2260
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2261
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2262
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2263
(Robert Collins)
2264
2265
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2266
that they be kept.
2267
2268
* Tweaks to short log printing
2269
2270
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2271
(Aaron Bentley)
2272
2273
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2274
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2275
2276
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2277
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2278
2279
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2280
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2281
2282
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2283
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2284
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2285
2286
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2287
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2288
2289
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2290
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2291
requests.
2292
2293
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2294
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2295
2296
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2297
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2298
2299
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2300
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2301
2302
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2303
(Denys Duchier)
2304
2305
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2306
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2307
2308
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2309
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2310
2311
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2312
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2313
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2314
2315
BUG FIXES:
2316
2317
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2320
2321
* Error when run with -OO
2322
2323
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2324
(Martin Pool)
2325
2326
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2327
2328
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2329
2330
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2331
ignored by diff and status
2332
2333
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2334
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2335
2336
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2337
2338
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2339
2340
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2341
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2342
2343
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2344
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2345
2346
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2347
(Harald Meland)
2348
2349
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2350
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2351
2352
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2353
2354
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2355
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2356
2357
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2358
(Martin Pool)
2359
2360
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2361
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2362
2363
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2364
2365
TESTING:
2366
2367
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2368
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2369
2370
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2371
2372
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2373
2374
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2375
2376
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2377
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2378
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2379
2380
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2381
2382
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2383
(John Arbash Meinel)
2384
2385
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2386
2387
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2388
If adding a new test script please add that to
2389
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2390
2391
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2392
imported. (Martin Pool)
2393
2394
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2395
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2396
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2397
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2398
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2399
(Robert Collins)
2400
2401
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2402
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2403
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2404
2405
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2406
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2407
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2408
2409
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2410
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2411
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2412
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2413
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2414
(Robert Collins).
2415
2416
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2417
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2418
(Robert Collins).
2419
2420
INTERNALS:
2421
2422
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2423
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2424
2425
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2426
function. (Robert Collins)
2427
2428
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2429
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2430
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2431
2432
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2433
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2434
(Robert Collins)
2435
2436
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2437
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2438
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2439
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2440
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2441
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2442
version. (Robert Collins)
2443
2444
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2445
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2446
2447
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2448
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2449
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2450
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2451
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2452
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2453
2454
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2455
(Robert Collins)
2456
2457
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2458
2459
add()
2460
commit()
2461
move()
2462
rename_one()
2463
unknowns()
2464
2465
(Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2468
2469
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2470
2471
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2472
Pool)
2473
2474
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2475
query method. (Robert Collins)
2476
2477
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2478
(Denys Duchier)
2479
2480
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2481
(Michael Ellerman)
2482
2483
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2484
(Michael Ellerman)
2485
2486
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2487
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2488
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2489
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2490
2491
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2492
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2493
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2494
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2495
2496
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2497
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2498
2499
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28

2501
IMPROVEMENTS:
2502
2503
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2504
(John A Meinel)
2505
2506
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2507
conflicts.
2508
(Aaron Bentley)
2509
2510
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2511
a separator, not ':'.
2512
(Aaron Bentley)
2513
2514
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2515
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2516
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2517
2518
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2519
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2520
(Robert Collins)
2521
2522
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2523
has been added that suppresses all output.
2524
2525
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2526
Adams.
2527
2528
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2529
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2530
2531
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2532
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2533
2534
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2535
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2536
2537
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2538
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2539
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2540
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2541
2542
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2543
2544
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2545
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2546
2547
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2548
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2549
2550
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2551
output directory, if one was supplied.
2552
2553
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2554
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2555
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2556
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2557
2558
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2559
2560
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2561
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2562
2563
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2564
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2565
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2566
2567
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2568
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2569
2570
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2571
(Aaron Bentley)
2572
2573
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2574
2575
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2576
2577
TESTING:
2578
2579
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2580
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2581
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2582
2583
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2584
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2585
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2586
2587
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2588
is given. (Martin Pool)
2589
2590
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2591
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2592
file. (Robert Collins)
2593
2594
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2595
(Martin Pool)
2596
2597
INTERNALS:
2598
2599
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2600
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2601
representation. (Martin Pool).
2602
2603
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2604
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2605
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2606
2607
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2608
(Robert Collins)
2609
2610
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2611
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2612
Magnus Therning.
2613
2614
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2615
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2616
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2617
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2618
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2619
2620
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2621
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2622
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2623
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2624
python path. (Robert Collins)
2625
2626
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2627
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2628
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2629
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2630
2631
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2632
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2633
2634
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2635
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2636
(Robert Collins)
2637
2638
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2639
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2640
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2641
2642
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2643
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2644
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2645
2646
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2647
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2648
2649
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2650
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2651
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2652
(Robert Collins)
2653
2654
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2655
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2656
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2657
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2658
(Robert Collins)
2659
2660
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2661
(Robert Collins)
2662
2663
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2664
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2665
(Robert Collins)
2666
2667
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2668
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2669
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2670
2671
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2672
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2673
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2674
2675
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2676
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2677
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2678
2679
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2680
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2681
2682
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2683
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2684
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2685
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2686
caller. (Robert Collins)
2687
2688
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2689
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2690
(Robert Collins).
2691
2692
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2693
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2694
(Aaron Bentley)
2695
2696
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2697
2698
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2699
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2700
2701
BUG FIXES:
2702
2703
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2704
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2705
2706
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2707
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

2714
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2715
allow directories to be listed.
2716
2717
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2718
upgrading branch format.
2719
2720
PERFORMANCE:
2721
2722

2727
NOTES:
2728
2729
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2730
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2731
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2732
high-latency connections.

* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2737
Rob Weir.
2738
2739
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2740
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2741
2742
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2743
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2744
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2745
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2746
2747
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2748
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2749
2750
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2751
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2752
2753
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2754
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2755
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2756
2757
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2758
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2759
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2760
Robert Collins
2761
2762
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2763
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2764
2765
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2766
different partial views of history.
2767
2768
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2769
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2770
2771
IMPROVEMENTS:
2772
2773
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2774
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2775
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2776
2777
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2778
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2779
'bzr upgrade'.
2780
2781
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2782
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2783
2784
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2785
Niemeyer.
2786
2787
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2788
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2789
2790
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2791
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2792
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2793
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2794
2795
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2796
2797
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2798
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2799
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2800
2801
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2802
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2803
2804
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2805
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2806
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2807
2808
2809
INTERNALS:
2810
2811
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2812
for your viewing pleasure.
2813
2814
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2815
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2816
2817
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2818
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2819
handling of such circumstances.
2820
2821
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2822
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2823
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2824
2825
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2826
2827
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2828
we call them revisions not patches.
2829
2830
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2831
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2832
2833
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2834
giving the revision *of that file*.
2835
2836
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2837
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2838
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2839
2840
TESTING:
2841
2842
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2843
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2844
2845
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2846
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2847
2848
2849
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2850
2851
BUG FIXES:
2852
2853
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2854
2855
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2856
(Robert Collins).
2857
2858
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2859
2860
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2861
2862
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2863
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2864
2865
IMPROVEMENTS:
2866
2867
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2868
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2869
2870
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2871
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2872
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2873
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2874
Robey Pointer
2875
2876
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2877
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2878
2879
INTERNALS:
2880
2881
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2882
2883
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2884
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2885
2886
2887
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2888
2889
IMPROVEMENTS:
2890
2891
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2892
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2893
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2894
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2895
Michael Ellerman.
2896
2897
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2898
(Nir Soffer)
2899
2900
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2901
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2902
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2903
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2904
for the operating system is still tried.
2905
2906
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2907
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2908
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2909
2910
2911
INTERNALS:
2912
2913
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2914
2915
BUG FIXES:
2916
2917
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2918
2919
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2920
branch.
2921
2922
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2923
read.
2924
2925
2926
PORTABILITY:
2927
2928
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2929
2930
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2931
2932
2933
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2934
2935
NEW FEATURES:
2936
2937
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2938
help with intelligent shell completion.
2939
2940
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2941
2942
2943
ENHANCEMENTS:
2944
2945
* Much better merge support.
2946
2947
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2948
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2949
like emacs smerge.
2950
2951
2952
BUG FIXES:
2953
2954
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2955
mention revisions that are not present.
2956
2957
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2958
2959
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2960
2961
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2962
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2963
2964
2965
CHANGES:
2966
2967
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2968
2969
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2970
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2971
--help themselves.
2972
2973
2974
LIBRARY:
2975
2976
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2977
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2978
libraries.
2979
2980
2981
2982
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2983
2984
NEW FEATURES:
2985
2986
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2987
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2988
2989
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2990
2991
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2992
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2993
2994
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2995
FOO.
2996
2997
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2998
2999
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3000
the Unix command.
3001
3002
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3003
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3004
3005
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3006
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3007
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3008
3009
3010
ENHANCEMENTS:
3011
3012
* Faster working tree operations.
3013
3014
3015
CHANGES:
3016
3017
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3018
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3019
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3020
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3021
3022
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3023
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3024
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3025
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3026
standard plugins directory.
3027
3028
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3029
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3030
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3031
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3032
3033
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3034
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3035
3036
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3037
disk.
3038
3039
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3040
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3041
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3042
3043
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3044
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3045
3046
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3047
line options must come before the command name because they
3048
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3049
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3050
it.
3051
3052
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3053
3054
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3055
is available with ``--short``.
3056
3057
3058
BUG FIXES:
3059
3060
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3061
3062
3063
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3064
3065
CHANGES:
3066
3067
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3068
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3069
3070
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3071
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3072
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3073
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3074
3075
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3076
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3077
with the ``--forward`` option.
3078
3079
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3080
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3081
field.
3082
3083
3084
ENHANCEMENTS:
3085
3086
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3087
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3088
3089
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3090
3091
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3092
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3093
3094
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3095
3096
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3097
either read or write mode.
3098
3099
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3100
3101
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3102
affected that file.
3103
3104
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3105
3106
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3107
suggested by LarstiQ.
3108
3109
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3110
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3111
3112
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3113
a filename.
3114
3115
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3116
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3117
3118
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3119
haven't changed since the previous time.
3120
3121
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3122
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3123
3124
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3125
3126
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3127
3128
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3129
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3130
3131
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3132
options through to an external GNU diff.
3133
3134
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3135
their contents.
3136
3137
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3138
from a branch.
3139
3140
3141
BUG FIXES:
3142
3143
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3144
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3145
3146
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3147
metacharacters.
3148
3149
3150
TESTING:
3151
3152
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3153
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3154
the tests.
3155
3156
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3157
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3158
3159
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3160
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3161
3162
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3163
under a different version.
3164
3165
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3166
3167
3168
INTERNAL:
3169
3170
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3171
3172
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3173
Scott James Remnant.
3174
3175
* Better help messages for many commands.
3176
3177
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3178
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3179
3180
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3181
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3182
3183
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3184
3185
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3186
3187
* New AtomicFile class.
3188
3189
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3190
3191
3192
PORTABILITY:
3193
3194
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3195
2.4 is now only recommended.
3196
3197
3198
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3199
3200
ENHANCEMENTS:
3201
3202
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3203
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3204
3205
* More default ignore patterns.
3206
3207
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3208
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3209
3210
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3211
3212
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3213
by Jason Diamon.
3214
3215
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3216
3217
3218
CHANGES:
3219
3220
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3221
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3222
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3223
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3224
there are DNS problems.
3225
3226
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3227
3228
3229
BUG FIXES:
3230
3231
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3232
3233
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3234
3235
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3236
trailing newlines properly.
3237
3238
3239
INTERNAL:
3240
3241
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3242
Matt Brubeck.
3243
3244
* More tests in test.sh.
3245
3246
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3247
directory and delete it when done.
3248
3249
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3250
3251
3252
PORTABILITY:
3253
3254
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3255
Bennetts.
3256
3257
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3258
from QuantumG.
3259

3261
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3262
3263
ENHANCEMENTS:
3264
3265
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3266
in the tree.
3267
3268
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3269
3270
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3271
and/or directory.
3272
3273
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3274
directory.
3275
3276
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3277
3278
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
