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
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
28
(Martin Pool, #109169)
29
30
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
31
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
32
33
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
34
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
35
36
IMPROVEMENTS:
37
38
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
39
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
40
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
41
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
42
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
43
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
44
45
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
46
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
47
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
48
49
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
50
(Elliot Murphy)
51
52
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
53
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
54
55
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
56
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
57
58
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
59
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
60
61
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
62
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
63
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
64
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
65
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
66
67
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
68
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
69
70
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
71
can be slow it is useful feedback).
72
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
73
74
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
75
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
76
77
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
78
output. (Aaron Bentley)
79
80
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
81
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
82
(Robert Collins)
83
84
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
85
(Martin Pool)
86
87
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
88
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
89
90
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
91
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
92
93
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
94
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
95
96
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
97
98
* Testing cleanups -
99
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
100
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
101
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
102
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
103
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
104
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
105
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
106
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
107
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
108
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
109
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
110
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
111
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
112
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
113
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
114
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
115
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
116
(Robert Collins)
117
118
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
119
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
120
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
121
122
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
123
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
124
125
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
126
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
127
128
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
129
130
INTERNALS:
131
132
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
133
134
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
135
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
136
137
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
138
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
139
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
140
141
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
142
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
143
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
144
145
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
146
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
147
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
148
149
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
150
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
151
Martin Pool)
152
153
TESTING:
154
155
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
156
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
157
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
158
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
159
160
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
161
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
162
testing. (Robert Collins)
163
164
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
165
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
166
167
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
168
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
169
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
170
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
171
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
172
attribute during the test parameterisation in
173
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
174
175
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
176
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
177
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
178
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
179
180
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
181
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
182
183
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
184
avoid useless cloning.
185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)

187
188
bzr 0.17 2007-06-18
189
190
BUGFIXES:
191
192
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
193
(Colin Watson, #120647)
194
195
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
196
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
197

199
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
200
201
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
202
203
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
204
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
205
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
206
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
207
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
208
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
209
and unlock() like so::
210
211
work_tree.lock_read()
212
try:
213
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
214
finally:
215
work_tree.unlock()
216
217
INTERNALS:
218
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
219
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
220
object.
221
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
222
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
223
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
224
225
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
226
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
227
too. (Robert Collins)
228
229
IMPROVEMENTS:
230
231
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
232
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
233
Aaron Bentley)
234
235
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
236
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
237
238
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
239
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
240
241
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
242
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
243
understanding what changes have occurred
244
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
245
246
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
247
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
248
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
249
250
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
251
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
252
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
253
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
254
255
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
256
#56322)
257
258
BUGFIXES:
259
260
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
261
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
262
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
263
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
264
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
265
266
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
267
based on split paths, not just string paths.
268
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
269
270
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
272
273
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
274
into account.
275
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
276
277
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
278
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
279
280
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
281
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
282
283
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
284
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
285
286
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
287
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
288
289
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
290
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
291
292
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
293
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
294
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
295
296
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
297
298
BUGFIXES:
299
300
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
301
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
302
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
303
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
304
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
305
306
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
307
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
308
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
309
310
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
311
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
312
313
IMPROVEMENTS:
314
315
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
316
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
317
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
318
319
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
320
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
321
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
322
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
323
324
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
325
326
BUGFIXES:
327
328
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
329
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
330
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
331
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
332
333
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
334
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
335
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
336
337
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
338
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
339
340
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
341
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
342
343
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
344
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
345
346
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
347
348
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
349
350
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
351
it could be recovered again.
352
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
353
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
354
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
355
but not delete it.
356
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
357
files.
358
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
359
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
360
361
IMPROVEMENTS:
362
363
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
364
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
365
366
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
367
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
368
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
369
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
370
371
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
372
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
373
374
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
375
tests with names that match that regular expression.
376
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
377
378
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
379
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
380
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
381
382
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
383
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
384
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
385
386
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
387
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
388
Robert Collins)
389
390
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
391
Pool)
392
393
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
394
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
395
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
396
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
397
398
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
399
(Robert Collins)
400
401
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
402
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
403
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
404
(Robert Collins)
405
406
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
407
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
408
409
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
410
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
411
412
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
413
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
414
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
415
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
416
(Robert Collins)
417
418
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
419
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
420
421
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
422
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
423
424
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
425
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
426
(Robert Collins, #107125).
427
428
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
429
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
430
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
431
432
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
433
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
434
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
435
436
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
437
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
438
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
439
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
440
441
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
442
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
443
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
444
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
445
446
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
447
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
448
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
449
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
450
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
451
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
452
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
453
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
454
header(s).
455

456
457
INTERNALS:
458
459
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
460
code paths. (Robert Collins)
461
462
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
463
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
464
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
465
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
466
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
467
468
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
469
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
470
471
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
472
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
473
474
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
475
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
476
477
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
478
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
479
480
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
481
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
482
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
483
(Robert Collins).
484
485
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
486
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
487
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
488
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
489
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
490
(Robert Collins)
491
492
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
493
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
494
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
495
496
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
497
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
498
(Vincent Ladeuil).
499
500
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
501
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
502
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
503
(Vincent Ladeuil).
504
505
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
506
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
507
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
508
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
509
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
510
511
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
512
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
513
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
514
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
515
516
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
517
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
518
519
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
520
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
521
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
522
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
523
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
524
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
525
526
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
527
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
528
529
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
530
help. (Robert Collins)
531
532
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
533
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
534
535
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
536
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
537
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
538
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
539
(John Arbash Meinel)
540
541
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
542
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
543
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
544
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
545
useful. (Robert Collins)
546
547
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
548
(Andrew Bennetts)
549
550
BUGFIXES:
551
552
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
553
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
554
555
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
556
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
557
558
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
559
properly and is no longer beneficial.
560
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
561
562
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
563
(Aaron Bentley)
564
565
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
566
the file, and does it faster.
567
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
568
569
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
570
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
571
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
572
573
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
574
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
575
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
576
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
577
578
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
579
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
580
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
581
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
582
583
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
584
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
585
586
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
587
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
588
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
589
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
590
Arbash Meinel)
591
592
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
593
594
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
595
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
596
597
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
598
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
599
600
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
601
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
602
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
603
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
604
security hole.
605
(Vincent Ladeuil)
606
607
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
609
610
TESTING:
611
612
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
613
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
614
in running it. (Robert Collins)
615
616
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
617
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
618
619
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
620
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
621
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
622
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
623
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
624
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
625
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
626
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
627
628
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
629
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
630
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
631
632
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
633
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
634
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
635
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
636
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
637
access.
638
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
639
640
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
641
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
642
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
643
644
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
645
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
662
663
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
664
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
665
(Martin Pool)
666
667
IMPROVEMENTS:
668
669
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
670
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
671
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
672
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
673
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
674
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
675
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
676
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
677
path. (vila)
678
679
INTERNALS:
680
681
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
682
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
683
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
684
685
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
686
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
687
(Martin Pool)
688
689
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
690
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
691
(John Arbash Meinel)
692
693
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
694
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
695
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
696
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
697
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
698
699
BUGFIXES:
700
701
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
702
(vila, #92195)
703
704
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
705
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
706
707
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
708
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
709
710
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
711
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
712
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
713
714
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
715
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
716
717
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
718
last-changed-revision for directories. The
719
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
720
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
721
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
722
723
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
724
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
725
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
726
727
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

732
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
733
734
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
735
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
736
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
737
738
IMPROVEMENTS:
739
740
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
741
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
742
743
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
744
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
745
746
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
747
748
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
749
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
750
751
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
752
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
753
754
INTERNALS:
755
756
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
757
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
758
759
BUGFIXES:
760
761
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
762
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
763
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
764
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
765
766
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
767
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
768
769
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
770
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
771
772
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
773
(Marien Zwart)
774
775
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

779
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
780
781
SURPRISES:
782
783
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
784
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
785
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
786
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
787
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
788
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
789
790
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
791
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
792
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
793
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
794
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
795
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
796
development.
797
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
798
799
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
800
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
801
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
802
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
803
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
804
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
805
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
806
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
807
808
IMPROVEMENTS:
809
810
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
811
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
812
813
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
814
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
815
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
816
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
817
does exist.
818
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
819
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
820
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
821
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
822
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
823
824
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
825
(Aaron Bentley)
826
827
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
828
(Aaron Bentley)
829
830
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
831
(Robert Collins)
832
833
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
834
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
835
(Aaron Bentley)
836
837
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
838
(Aaron Bentley)
839
840
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
841
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
842
843
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
844
directory. (Martin Pool)
845
846
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
847
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
848
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
849
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
850
851
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
852
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
853
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
854
in docs/configuration.txt.
855
856
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
857
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
858
bind location.
859
860
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
861
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
862
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
863
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
864
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
865
repositories. (Martin Pool)
866
867
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
868
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
869
870
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
871
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
872
873
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
874
(Aaron Bentley)
875
876
INTERNALS:
877
878
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
879
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
880
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
881
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
882
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
883
(John Arbash Meinel)
884
885
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
886
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
887
(Aaron Bentley)
888
889
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
890
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
891
(John Arbash Meinel)
892
893
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
894
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
895
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
896
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
897
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
898
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
899
900
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
901
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
902
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
903
904
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
905
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
906
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
907
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
908
repository.

* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
912
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
913
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
914
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
915
916
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
917
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
918
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
919
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
920
921
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
922
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
923
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
924
925
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
926
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
927
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
928
929
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
930
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
931
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
932
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
933
934
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
935
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
936
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
937
938
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
939
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
940
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
941
942
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
943
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
944
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
945
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
946
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
947
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
948
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
949
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
950
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

BUGFIXES:
955
956
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
957
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
958
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
959
960
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
961
(Aaron Bentley)
962
963
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
964
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
965
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
966
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
967
968
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
969
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
970
#83954).
971
972
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
973
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
974
975
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
976
977
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
978
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.

(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
980
981
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
982

984
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
985

BUG FIXES:
1011
1012
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1013
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1014
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1015
1016
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1017
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1018
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1019

1021
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1022
1023
IMPROVEMENTS:
1024
1025
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1026
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1027
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1028
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1029
1030
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1031
(Marius Kruger)
1032
1033
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1034
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1035
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1036
1037
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1038
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1039
1040
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1041
(Aaron Bentley)
1042
1043
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1044
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1045
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1046
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1047
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1048
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1049
1050
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1051
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1052
should enable you to do::
1053
1054
[/home/user/project]
1055
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1056
push_location:policy = appendpath
1057
1058
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1059
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1060
(James Henstridge)
1061
1062
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1063
for each file. For example::
1064
1065
$ bzr status --short
1066
A foo
1067
A bar
1068
D baz

1070
1071
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1072
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1073
1074
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1075
1076
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1077
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1078
1079
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1080
1081
INTERNALS:
1082
1083
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1084
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1085
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1086
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1087
1088
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1089
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1090
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1091
1092
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1093
1094
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1095
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1096
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1097
(Alexander Belchenko)
1098
1099
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1100
Pool)
1101
1102
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1103
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1104
1105
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1106
1107
BUG FIXES:
1108
1109
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1110
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1111
1112
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1113
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1114
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1115
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1116
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1117
1118
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1119
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1120
1121
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1122
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1123
1124
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1125
matcher.
1126
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1127
1128
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1129
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1130
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1131
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1132
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1133
1134
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1135
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1136
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1137
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1138
1139
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1140
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1141
1142
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1143
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1144
1145
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1146
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
1159
1160
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1161
tree from a branch.
1162
(Daniel Silverstone)
1163
1164
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1165
operations are substantially faster.
1166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1167
1168
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1169
tree from some other url. For example:
1170
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1171
(Daniel Silverstone)
1172
1173
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1174
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1175
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1176
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1177
1178
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1179
(Andrew Bennetts)
1180
1181
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1182
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1183
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1184
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1185
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1186
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1187
1188
INTERNALS:
1189
1190
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1191
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1192
(Martin Pool)
1193
1194
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1195
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1196
(John Arbash Meinel)
1197
1198
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1199
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1200
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1201
(John Arbash Meinel)
1202
1203
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1204
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1205
1206
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1207
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1208
1209
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1210
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1211
Bennetts)
1212
1213
BUG FIXES:
1214
1215
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1216
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1217
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1218
1219
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1220
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1221
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1222
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1223
1224
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1225
1226
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1227
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1228
1229
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1230
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1231
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1233
1234
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1235
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1236
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1237
1238
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1239
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1240
them as full references rather than integers.
1241
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1242
1243
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1244
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1245
1246
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1247
1248
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1249
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1250
1251
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1252
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1253
1254
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1255
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1256
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1257
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1258
1259
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1260
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1261
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1262
1263
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1264
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1265
1266
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1267
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1268
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1269
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1270
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1271
1272
TESTING:
1273
1274
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1275
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

1277
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1278
1279
INTERNALS:
1280
1281
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

(John Arbash Meinel)
1284
1285
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1286
1287
IMPROVEMENTS:
1288
1289
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1290
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1291
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1292
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1293
1294
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1295
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1296
1297
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1298
1299
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1300
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1301
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1302
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1303
1304
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1305
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1306
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1307
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1308
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1309
1310
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1311
1312
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1313
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1314
1315
INTERNALS:
1316
1317
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1318
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1319
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1320
1321
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1322
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1323
(John Arbash Meinel)
1324
1325
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1326
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1327
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1328
1329
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1330
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1331
(Aaron Bentley)
1332
1333
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1334
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1335
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1336
1337
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1338
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1339
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1340
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1341
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1342
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1343
1344
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1345
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1346
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1347
(Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1350
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1351
1352
BUG FIXES:
1353
1354
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1355
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1356
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1357
#63360, #66349)
1358
1359
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1360
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1361
1362
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1363
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1364
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1365
1366
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1367
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1368
1369
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1370
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1371
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1372
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1373
1374
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1375
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1376
1377
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1378
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1379
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1380
1381
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1382
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1383
1384
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1385
1386
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1387
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1388
#32054)
1389
1390
TESTING:
1391
1392
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1393
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1394
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1395
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1396
1397
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1398
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1399
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1400
1401
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
1402
1403
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1404
1405
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1406
1407
BUG FIXES:
1408
1409
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1410
1411
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1412
Arbash Meinel).
1413
1414
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1415
1416
IMPROVEMENTS:
1417
1418
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1419
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1420
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1421
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1422
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1423
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1424
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1425
1426
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1427
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1428
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1429
1430
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1431
1432
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1433
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1434
1435
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1436
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1437
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1438
(Robert Collins)
1439
1440
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1441
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1442
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1443
(John Arbash Meinel)
1444
1445
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1446
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1447
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1448
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1449
Pool)
1450
1451
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1452
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1453
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1454
(John Arbash Meinel)
1455
1456
BUG FIXES:
1457
1458
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1459
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1460
1461
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1462
1463
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1464
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1465
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1466
1467
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1468
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1469
1470
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1471
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1472
1473
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1474
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1475
1476
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1477
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1478
1479
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1480
1481
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1482
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1483
1484
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1485
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1486
1487
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1488
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1489
1490
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1491
(John Arbash Meinel)
1492
1493
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1494
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1495
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1496
1497
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1498
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1499
1500
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1501
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1502
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1503
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1504
1505
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1506
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1507
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1508
1509
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1510
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1511
1512
PORTABILITY:
1513
1514
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1515
1516
INTERNALS:
1517
1518
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1519
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1520
(John Arbash Meinel)
1521
1522
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1523
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1524
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1525
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1526
1527
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1528
(Andrew Bennetts)
1529
1530
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1531
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1532
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1533
1534
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1535
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1536
1537
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1538
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1539
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1540
1541
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1542
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1543
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1544
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1545
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1546
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1547
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1548
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1549
caller to repeat their request.
1550
(John Arbash Meinel)
1551
1552
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1553
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1554
1555
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1556
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1559
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1560
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1561
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1562
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1563
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1564
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1565
1566
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1567
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1568
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1569
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1570
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1571
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1572
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1573
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1574
(Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1577
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1578
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1579
1580
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1581
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1582
1583
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1584
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1585
1586
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1587
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1588
1589
TESTING:
1590
1591
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1592
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1593
1594
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1595
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1596
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1597
1598
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1599
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1600
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1601
1602
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1603
1604
IMPROVEMENTS:
1605
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1606
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1607
1608
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1609
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1610
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1611
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1612
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1613
1614
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1615
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1616
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1617
1618
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1619
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1620
1621
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1622
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1623
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1624
1625
BUG FIXES:
1626
1627
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1628
1629
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1630
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1631
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1632
1633
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1634
1635
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1636
1637
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1638
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1639
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1640
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1641
1642
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1643
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1644
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1645
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1646
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1647
1648
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1649
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1650
1651
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1652
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1653
1654
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1655
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1656
1657
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1658
in handling of revision properties.
1659
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1660
1661
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1662
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1663
1664
INTERNALS:
1665
1666
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1667
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1668
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1669
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1670
(John Arbash Meinel)
1671
1672
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1673
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1674
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1675
1676
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1677
1678
SURPRISES:
1679
1680
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1681
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1682
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1683
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1684
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1685
a more conservative list than the old default.
1686
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1687
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1688
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1689
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1690
1691
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1692
to more locations than just branch locations.
1693
(Aaron Bentley)
1694
1695
IMPROVEMENTS:
1696
1697
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1698
revno:N:branch. For example,
1699
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1700
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1701
1702
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1703
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1704
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1705
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1706
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1707
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1708
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1709
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1710
#42517, #42514)
1711
1712
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1713
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1714
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1715
(Malone #3507)
1716
1717
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1718
(Alexander Belchenko)
1719
1720
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1721
1722
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1723
(Robert Collins).
1724
1725
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1726
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1727
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1728
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1729
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1730
(John Arbash Meinel)
1731
1732
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1733
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1734
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1735
grained analysis of performance.
1736
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1737
1738
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1739
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1740
1741
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1742
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1743
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1744
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1745
file. (Robert Collins).
1746
1747
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1748
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1749
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1750
1751
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1752
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1753
Matthieu Moy)
1754
1755
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1756
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1757
1758
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1759
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1760
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1761
the same way you would apply another branch.
1762
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1763
1764
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1765
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1766
1767
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1768
(Michael Ellerman)
1769
1770
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1771
(Aaron Bentley)
1772
1773
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1774
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1775
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1776
1777
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1778
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1779
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1780
1781
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1782
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1783
1784
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1785
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1786
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1787
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1788
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1789
1790
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1791
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1792
1793
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1794
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1795
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1796
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1797
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1798
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1799
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1800
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1801
1802
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1803
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1804
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1805
1806
BUG FIXES:
1807
1808
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1809
tests not to run.
1810
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1811
1812
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1813
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1814
1815
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1816
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1817
1818
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1819
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1820
1821
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1822
1823
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1824
(John Arbash Meinel)
1825
1826
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1827
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1828
1829
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1830
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1831
and y.
1832
1833
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1834
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1835
1836
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1837
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1838
1839
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1840
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1841
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1842
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1843
1844
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1845
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1846
1847
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1848
1849
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1850
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1851
1852
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1853
1854
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1855
1856
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1857
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1858
1859
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1860
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1861
1862
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1863
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1864
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1865
1866
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1867
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1868
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1869
1870
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1871
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1872
1873
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1874
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1875
1876
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1877
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1878
1879
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1880
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1881
1882
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1883
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1884
1885
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1886
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1887
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1888
1889
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1890
1891
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1892
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1893
1894
INTERNALS:
1895
1896
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1897
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1898
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1899
1900
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1901
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1902
1903
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1904
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1905
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1906
1907
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1908
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1909
1910
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1911
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1912
(Martin Pool)
1913
1914
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1915
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1916
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1917
1918
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1919
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1920
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1921
1922
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1923
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1924
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1925
1926
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1927
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1928
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1929
1930
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1931
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1932
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1933
1934
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1935
instead. (Robert Collins)
1936
1937
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1946
1947
BUG FIXES:
1948
1949
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1950
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1951
1952
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1953
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1954
1955
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1956
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1957
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1958
1959
CHANGES:
1960
1961
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1962
1963
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1964
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1965
1966
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1967
1968
CHANGES:
1969
1970
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1971
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1972
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1973
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1974
1975
NEW FEATURES:
1976
1977
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1978
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1979
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1980
1981
INTERNALS:
1982
1983
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1984
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1985
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1986
1987
TESTING:
1988
1989
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1990
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1991
1992
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1993
1994
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1995
1996
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1997
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1998
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1999
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2000
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2001
will keep the same format.
2002
2003
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2004
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2005
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2006
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2007
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2008
2009
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2010
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2011
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2012
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2013
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2014
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2015
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2016
2017
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2018
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2019
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2020
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2021
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2022
2023
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2024
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2025
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2026
arrangement.
2027
2028
2029
IMPROVEMENTS:
2030
2031
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2032
convention. Paths now take the form::
2033
2034
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2035
or
2036
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2037
2038
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2039
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2040
2041
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2042
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2043
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2044
2045
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2046
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2047
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2048
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2049
2050
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2051
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2052
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2053
2054
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2055
2056
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2057
2058
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2059
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2060
commits::
2061
2062
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2063
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2064
| xargs bzr re-sign
2065
2066
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2067
2068
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2069
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2070
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2071
(Robert Collins)
2072
2073
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2074
2075
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2076
2077
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2078
'.moved'.
2079
2080
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2081
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2082
2083
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2084
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2085
Daniel Silverstone)
2086
2087
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2088
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2089
Martin Pool)
2090
2091
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2092
2093
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2094
2095
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2096
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2097
2098
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2099
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2100
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2101
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2102
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2103
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2104
2105
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2106
2107
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2108
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2109
(Robert Collins)
2110
2111
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2112
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2113
2114
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2115
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2116
2117
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2118
2119
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2120
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2121
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2122
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2123
specification by Martin Pool.
2124
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2125
2126
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2127
Belchenko)
2128
2129
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2130
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2131
2132
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2133
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2134
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2135
2136
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2137
2138
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2139
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2140
(Robert Collins)
2141
2142
CHANGES:
2143
2144
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2145
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2146
2147
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2148
2149
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2150
2151
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2152
(Olaf Conradi)
2153
2154
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2155
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2156
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2157
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2158
2159
INTERNALS:
2160
2161
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2162
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2163
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2164
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2165
2166
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2167
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2168
tried. (Martin Pool)
2169
2170
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2171
(Martin Pool)
2172
2173
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2174
2175
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2176
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2177
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2180
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2181
2182
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2183
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2184
paths. (Robert Collins)
2185
2186
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2187
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2188
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2189
2190
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2191
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2192
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2195
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2196
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2197
2198
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2199
(Olaf Conradi)
2200
2201
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2202
(Olaf Conradi)
2203
2204
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2205
2206
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2207
2208
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2209
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2210
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2211
(Robert Collins)
2212
2213
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2214
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2215
2216
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2217
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2218
check. (Robert Collins)
2219
2220
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2221
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2222
2223
TESTING:
2224
2225
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2226
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2227
2228
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2229
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2230
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2231
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2232
2233
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2234
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2235
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2236
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2237
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2240
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2241
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2242
2243
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2244
2245
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2246
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

CHANGES:
2251
2252
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2253
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2254
2255
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2256
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2257
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2258
(Johan Rydberg)
2259
2260
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2261
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2262
2263
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2264
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2265
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2266
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2267
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2268
2269
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2270
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2271
used. (Robert Collins)
2272
2273
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2274
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2275
(James Henstridge)
2276
2277
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2278
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2279
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2280
2281
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2282
ignore list.
2283
2284
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2285
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2286
2287
IMPROVEMENTS:
2288
2289
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2290
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2291
2292
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2293
2294
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2295
2296
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2297
tree. (Robert Collins)
2298
2299
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2300
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2301
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2302
(Robert Collins)
2303
2304
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2305
that they be kept.
2306
2307
* Tweaks to short log printing
2308
2309
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2310
(Aaron Bentley)
2311
2312
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2313
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2314
2315
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2316
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2317
2318
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2319
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2320
2321
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2322
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2323
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2324
2325
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2326
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2327
2328
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2329
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2330
requests.
2331
2332
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2333
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2334
2335
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2336
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2337
2338
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2339
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2340
2341
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2342
(Denys Duchier)
2343
2344
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2345
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2346
2347
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2348
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2349
2350
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2351
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2352
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2353
2354
BUG FIXES:
2355
2356
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2357
2358
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2359
2360
* Error when run with -OO
2361
2362
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2363
(Martin Pool)
2364
2365
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2366
2367
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2368
2369
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2370
ignored by diff and status
2371
2372
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2373
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2374
2375
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2376
2377
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2378
2379
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2380
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2381
2382
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2383
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2384
2385
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2386
(Harald Meland)
2387
2388
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2389
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2390
2391
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2392
2393
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2394
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2395
2396
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2397
(Martin Pool)
2398
2399
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2400
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2401
2402
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2403
2404
TESTING:
2405
2406
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2407
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2408
2409
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2410
2411
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2412
2413
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2414
2415
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2416
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2417
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2418
2419
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2420
2421
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2422
(John Arbash Meinel)
2423
2424
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2425
2426
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2427
If adding a new test script please add that to
2428
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2429
2430
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2431
imported. (Martin Pool)
2432
2433
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2434
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2435
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2436
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2437
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2438
(Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2441
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2442
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2443
2444
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2445
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2446
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2447
2448
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2449
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2450
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2451
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2452
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2453
(Robert Collins).
2454
2455
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2456
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2457
(Robert Collins).
2458
2459
INTERNALS:
2460
2461
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2462
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2463
2464
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2465
function. (Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2468
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2469
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2470
2471
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2472
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2473
(Robert Collins)
2474
2475
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2476
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2477
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2478
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2479
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2480
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2481
version. (Robert Collins)
2482
2483
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2484
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2485
2486
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2487
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2488
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2489
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2490
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2491
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2492
2493
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2494
(Robert Collins)
2495
2496
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2497
2498
add()
2499
commit()
2500
move()
2501
rename_one()
2502
unknowns()
2503
2504
(Robert Collins)
2505
2506
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2507
2508
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2509
2510
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2511
Pool)
2512
2513
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2514
query method. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2517
(Denys Duchier)
2518
2519
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2520
(Michael Ellerman)
2521
2522
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2523
(Michael Ellerman)
2524
2525
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2526
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2527
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2528
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2529
2530
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2531
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2532
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2533
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2534
2535
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2536
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2537
2538
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
2539
2540
IMPROVEMENTS:
2541
2542
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2543
(John A Meinel)
2544
2545
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2546
conflicts.
2547
(Aaron Bentley)
2548
2549
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2550
a separator, not ':'.
2551
(Aaron Bentley)
2552
2553
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2554
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2555
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2556
2557
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2558
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2559
(Robert Collins)
2560
2561
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2562
has been added that suppresses all output.
2563
2564
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2565
Adams.
2566
2567
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2568
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2569
2570
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2571
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2572
2573
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2574
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2575
2576
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2577
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2578
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2579
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2580
2581
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2582
2583
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2584
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2585
2586
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2587
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2588
2589
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2590
output directory, if one was supplied.
2591
2592
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2593
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2594
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2595
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2598
2599
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2600
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2601
2602
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2603
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2604
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2605
2606
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2607
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2608
2609
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2610
(Aaron Bentley)
2611
2612
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2613
2614
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2615
2616
TESTING:
2617
2618
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2619
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2620
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2621
2622
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2623
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2624
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2625
2626
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2627
is given. (Martin Pool)
2628
2629
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2630
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2631
file. (Robert Collins)
2632
2633
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2634
(Martin Pool)
2635
2636
INTERNALS:
2637
2638
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2639
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2640
representation. (Martin Pool).
2641
2642
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2643
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2644
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2645
2646
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2647
(Robert Collins)
2648
2649
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2650
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2651
Magnus Therning.
2652
2653
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2654
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2655
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2656
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2657
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2658
2659
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2660
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2661
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2662
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2663
python path. (Robert Collins)
2664
2665
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2666
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2667
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2668
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2669
2670
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2671
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2672
2673
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2674
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2675
(Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2678
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2679
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2680
2681
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2682
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2683
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2684
2685
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2686
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2687
2688
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2689
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2690
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2691
(Robert Collins)
2692
2693
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2694
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2695
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2696
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2697
(Robert Collins)
2698
2699
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2700
(Robert Collins)
2701
2702
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2703
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2704
(Robert Collins)
2705
2706
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2707
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2708
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2709
2710
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2711
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2712
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2713
2714
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2715
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2716
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2717
2718
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2719
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2720
2721
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2722
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2723
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2724
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2725
caller. (Robert Collins)
2726
2727
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2728
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2729
(Robert Collins).
2730
2731
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2732
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2733
(Aaron Bentley)
2734
2735
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2736
2737
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2738
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2739
2740
BUG FIXES:
2741
2742
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2743
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2744
2745
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2746
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2747
2748
2749
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2750
2751
BUG FIXES:
2752
2753
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2754
allow directories to be listed.
2755
2756
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2757
upgrading branch format.
2758
2759
PERFORMANCE:
2760
2761
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2762
2763
2764
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2765
2766
NOTES:
2767
2768
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2769
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2770
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2771
high-latency connections.
2772
2773
BUG FIXES:
2774
2775
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2776
Rob Weir.
2777
2778
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2779
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2780
2781
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2782
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2783
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2784
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2785
2786
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2787
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2788
2789
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2790
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2791
2792
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2793
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2794
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2795
2796
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2797
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2798
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2799
Robert Collins
2800
2801
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2802
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2803
2804
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2805
different partial views of history.
2806
2807
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2808
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2809
2810
IMPROVEMENTS:
2811
2812
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2813
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2814
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2815
2816
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2817
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2818
'bzr upgrade'.
2819
2820
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2821
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2822
2823
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2824
Niemeyer.
2825
2826
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2827
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2828
2829
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2830
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2831
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2832
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2833
2834
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2835
2836
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2837
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2838
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2839
2840
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2841
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2842
2843
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2844
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2845
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2846
2847
2848
INTERNALS:
2849
2850
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2851
for your viewing pleasure.
2852
2853
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2854
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2855
2856
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2857
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2858
handling of such circumstances.
2859
2860
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2861
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2862
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2863
2864
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2865
2866
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2867
we call them revisions not patches.
2868
2869
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2870
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2871
2872
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2873
giving the revision *of that file*.
2874
2875
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2876
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2877
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2878
2879
TESTING:
2880
2881
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2882
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2883
2884
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2885
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2886
2887
2888
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2889
2890
BUG FIXES:
2891
2892
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2893
2894
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2895
(Robert Collins).
2896
2897
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2898
2899
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2900
2901
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2902
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2903
2904
IMPROVEMENTS:
2905
2906
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2907
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2908
2909
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2910
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2911
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2912
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2913
Robey Pointer
2914
2915
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2916
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2917
2918
INTERNALS:
2919
2920
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2921
2922
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2923
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2924
2925
2926
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2927
2928
IMPROVEMENTS:
2929
2930
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2931
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2932
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2933
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2934
Michael Ellerman.
2935
2936
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2937
(Nir Soffer)
2938
2939
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2940
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2941
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2942
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2943
for the operating system is still tried.
2944
2945
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2946
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2947
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2948
2949
2950
INTERNALS:
2951
2952
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2953
2954
BUG FIXES:
2955
2956
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2957
2958
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2959
branch.
2960
2961
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2962
read.
2963
2964
2965
PORTABILITY:
2966
2967
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2968
2969
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2970
2971
2972
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2973
2974
NEW FEATURES:
2975
2976
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2977
help with intelligent shell completion.
2978
2979
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2980
2981
2982
ENHANCEMENTS:
2983
2984
* Much better merge support.
2985
2986
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2987
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2988
like emacs smerge.
2989
2990
2991
BUG FIXES:
2992
2993
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2994
mention revisions that are not present.
2995
2996
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2997
2998
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2999
3000
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3001
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3002
3003
3004
CHANGES:
3005
3006
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3007
3008
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3009
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3010
--help themselves.
3011
3012
3013
LIBRARY:
3014
3015
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3016
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3017
libraries.
3018
3019
3020
3021
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3022
3023
NEW FEATURES:
3024
3025
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3026
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3027
3028
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3029
3030
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3031
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3032
3033
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3034
FOO.
3035
3036
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3037
3038
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3039
the Unix command.
3040
3041
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3042
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3043
3044
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3045
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3046
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3047
3048
3049
ENHANCEMENTS:
3050
3051
* Faster working tree operations.
3052
3053
3054
CHANGES:
3055
3056
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3057
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3058
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3059
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3060
3061
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3062
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3063
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3064
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3065
standard plugins directory.
3066
3067
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3068
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3069
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3070
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3071
3072
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3073
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3074
3075
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3076
disk.
3077
3078
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3079
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3080
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3081
3082
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3083
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3084
3085
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3086
line options must come before the command name because they
3087
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3088
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3089
it.
3090
3091
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3092
3093
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3094
is available with ``--short``.
3095
3096
3097
BUG FIXES:
3098
3099
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3100
3101
3102
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3103
3104
CHANGES:
3105
3106
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3107
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3108
3109
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3110
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3111
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3112
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3113
3114
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3115
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3116
with the ``--forward`` option.
3117
3118
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3119
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3120
field.
3121
3122
3123
ENHANCEMENTS:
3124
3125
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3126
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3127
3128
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3129
3130
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3131
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3132
3133
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3134
3135
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3136
either read or write mode.
3137
3138
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3139
3140
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3141
affected that file.
3142
3143
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3144
3145
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3146
suggested by LarstiQ.
3147
3148
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3149
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3150
3151
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3152
a filename.
3153
3154
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3155
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3156
3157
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3158
haven't changed since the previous time.
3159
3160
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3161
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3162
3163
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3164
3165
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3166
3167
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3168
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3169
3170
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3171
options through to an external GNU diff.
3172
3173
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3174
their contents.
3175
3176
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3177
from a branch.
3178
3179
3180
BUG FIXES:
3181
3182
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3183
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3184
3185
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3186
metacharacters.
3187
3188
3189
TESTING:
3190
3191
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3192
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3193
the tests.
3194
3195
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3196
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3197
3198
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3199
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3200
3201
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3202
under a different version.
3203
3204
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3205
3206
3207
INTERNAL:
3208
3209
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3210
3211
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3212
Scott James Remnant.
3213
3214
* Better help messages for many commands.
3215
3216
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3217
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3218
3219
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3220
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3221
3222
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3223
3224
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3225
3226
* New AtomicFile class.
3227
3228
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3229
3230
3231
PORTABILITY:
3232
3233
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3234
2.4 is now only recommended.
3235
3236
3237
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3238
3239
ENHANCEMENTS:
3240
3241
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3242
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3243
3244
* More default ignore patterns.
3245
3246
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3247
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3248
3249
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3250
3251
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3252
by Jason Diamon.
3253
3254
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3255
3256
3257
CHANGES:
3258
3259
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3260
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
