9
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
10
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
16
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
17
Various globally-declared options removed. Options are now required
18
to provide a help string and it must comply with the style guide
19
by being one or more sentences with an initial capital and final
24
* merge now uses iter_changes to calculate changes, which makes room for
25
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
26
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
27
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
29
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
30
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
31
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
35
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
36
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
37
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
40
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
44
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
45
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
47
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
48
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
49
(James Westby, #122656)
51
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
52
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
54
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
55
authentication header.
56
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
58
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
60
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
61
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
63
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
65
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
66
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
68
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
69
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
72
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
73
individually and as part of revision ranges.
76
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
77
(Martin Pool, #109169)
79
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
80
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
82
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
83
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
85
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
87
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
91
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
92
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
93
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
94
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
95
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
96
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
98
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
99
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
100
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
102
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
105
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
106
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
108
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
109
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
111
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
112
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
114
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
115
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
116
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
117
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
118
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
120
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
121
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
123
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
124
can be slow it is useful feedback).
125
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
127
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
128
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
130
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
132
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
133
output. (Aaron Bentley)
135
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
136
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
139
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
142
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
143
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
145
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
146
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
148
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
149
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
151
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
153
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
154
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
156
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved

``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
171
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.

``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
173
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.

``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
176
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
177
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
178
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
181
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
183
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
184
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
185
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
187
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
188
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
190
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
191
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
193
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
195
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
196
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
197
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
198
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
199
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
200
same location. (Robert Collins)
204
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
206
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
208
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
210
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
213
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
216
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
217
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
218
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
220
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
222
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
223
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
224
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
226
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
227
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
229
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
230
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
231
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
233
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
234
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
235
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
237
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
238
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
239
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
241
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
242
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
245
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
246
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
248
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
249
(Alexander Belchenko)
253
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
254
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
255
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
256
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
258
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
259
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
260
testing. (Robert Collins)
262
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
263
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
265
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
266
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
267
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
268
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
269
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
270
attribute during the test parameterisation in
271
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
273
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
274
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
275
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
276
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
278
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
279
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
281
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
282
avoid useless cloning.
283
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
290
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
291
(Colin Watson, #120647)
293
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
294
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

299
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
301
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
302
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
303
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
304
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
305
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
306
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
307
and unlock() like so::
309
work_tree.lock_read()
311
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
316
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
317
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
319
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
320
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
321
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
323
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
324
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
325
too. (Robert Collins)
329
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
330
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
333
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
336
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
337
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
339
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
340
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
341
understanding what changes have occurred
342
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
344
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
345
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
346
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
348
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
349
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
350
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
351
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
353
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
358
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
359
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
360
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
361
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
362
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
364
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
365
based on split paths, not just string paths.
366
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
368
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
371
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
375
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
376
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
378
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
379
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
381
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
382
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
384
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
385
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
387
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
388
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
390
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
391
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
392
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
398
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
399
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
400
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
401
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
402
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
404
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
405
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
406
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
408
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
409
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
413
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
414
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
415
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
417
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
418
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
419
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
420
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
422
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
426
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
427
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
428
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
429
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
431
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
432
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
433
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
435
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
436
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
438
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
439
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
441
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
442
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
444
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
446
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
448
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
449
it could be recovered again.
450
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
451
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
452
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
454
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
456
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
457
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
461
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
462
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
464
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
465
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
466
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
467
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
469
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
470
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
472
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
473
tests with names that match that regular expression.
474
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
476
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
477
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
478
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
480
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
481
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
482
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
484
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
485
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
488
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
491
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
492
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
493
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
494
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
496
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
499
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
500
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
501
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
504
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
505
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
507
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
508
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
510
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
511
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
512
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
513
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
516
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
517
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
519
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
520
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
522
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
523
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
524
(Robert Collins, #107125).
526
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
527
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
528
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
530
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
531
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
532
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
534
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
535
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
536
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
537
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
539
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
540
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
541
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
542
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
544
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
545
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
546
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
547
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
548
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
549
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
550
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
551
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
557
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
558
code paths. (Robert Collins)
560
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
561
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
562
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
563
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
564
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
566
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
567
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
569
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
570
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
572
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
573
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
575
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
576
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
578
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
579
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
580
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
583
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
584
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
585
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
586
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
587
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
590
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
591
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
592
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
594
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
595
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
598
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
599
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
600
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
603
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
604
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
605
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
606
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
607
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
609
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
610
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
611
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
612
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
614
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
615
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
617
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
618
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
619
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
620
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
621
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
622
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
624
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
625
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
627
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
628
help. (Robert Collins)
630
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
631
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
633
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
634
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
635
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
636
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
639
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
640
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
641
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
642
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
643
useful. (Robert Collins)
645
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
650
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
651
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
653
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
654
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
656
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
657
properly and is no longer beneficial.
658
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
660
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
663
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
664
the file, and does it faster.
665
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
667
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
668
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
669
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
671
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
672
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
673
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
674
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
676
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
677
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
678
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
679
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
681
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
682
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
684
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
685
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
686
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
687
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
690
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
692
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
693
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
695
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
696
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
698
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
699
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
700
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
701
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
705
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
710
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
711
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
712
in running it. (Robert Collins)
714
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
715
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
717
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
718
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
719
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
720
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
721
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
722
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
723
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
724
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
726
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
727
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
728
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
730
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
731
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
732
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
733
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
734
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
736
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
738
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
739
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
740
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
742
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
743
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
750
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
753
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
754
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
757
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
761
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
762
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
767
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
768
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
769
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
770
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
771
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
772
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
773
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
774
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
779
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
780
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
781
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
783
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
784
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
787
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
788
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
791
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
792
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
793
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
794
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
795
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
799
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
802
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
803
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
805
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
806
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
808
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
809
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
810
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
812
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
813
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
815
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
816
last-changed-revision for directories. The
817
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
818
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
819
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
821
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
822
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
823
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
825
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
828
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
830
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
832
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
833
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
834
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
838
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
839
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
841
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
842
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
844
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
846
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
847
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
849
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
850
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
854
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
859
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
860
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
861
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
862
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
864
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
865
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
867
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
868
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
870
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
873
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
874
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
877
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
881
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
882
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
883
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
884
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
885
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
886
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
888
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
889
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
890
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
891
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
892
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
893
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
895
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
897
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
898
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
899
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
900
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
901
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
902
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
903
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
904
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
908
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
909
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
911
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
912
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
913
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
914
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
916
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
917
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
918
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
919
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
920
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
922
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
925
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
928
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
931
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
932
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
935
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
938
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
939
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
941
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
942
directory. (Martin Pool)
944
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
945
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
946
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
947
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
949
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
950
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
951
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
952
in docs/configuration.txt.
954
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
955
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
958
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
959
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
960
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
961
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
962
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
963
repositories. (Martin Pool)
965
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
966
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
968
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
969
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
971
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
976
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
977
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
978
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
979
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
980
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
983
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
984
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
987
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
988
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
991
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
992
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
993
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
994
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
995
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
996
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
998
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
999
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1000
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1002
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1003
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1004
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1005
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1007
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1009
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1010
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1011
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1012
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1014
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1015
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1016
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1017
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1019
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1020
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1021
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1023
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1024
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1025
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1027
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1028
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1029
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1030
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1032
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1033
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1034
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1036
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1037
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1038
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1040
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1041
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1042
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1043
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1044
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1045
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1046
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1047
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1048
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1049
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1050
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1054
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1055
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1056
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1058
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1061
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1062
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1063
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1064
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1066
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1067
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1070
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1071
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1073
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1075
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1076
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1077
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1079
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1080
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1082
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1083
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1085
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1086
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1088
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1089
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1091
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1093
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1094
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1098
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1099
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1106
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1110
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1111
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1112
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1114
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1115
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1116
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1119
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1123
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1124
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1125
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1126
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1128
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1131
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1132
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1133
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1135
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1136
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1138
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1141
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1142
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1143
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1144
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1145
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1146
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1148
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1149
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1150
should enable you to do::
1152
[/home/user/project]
1153
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1154
push_location:policy = appendpath
1156
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1157
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1160
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1161
for each file. For example::
1163
$ bzr status --short
1169
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1170
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1172
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1175
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1177
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1181
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1182
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1183
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1184
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1186
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1187
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1188
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1190
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1192
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1193
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1194
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1195
(Alexander Belchenko)
1197
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1200
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1201
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1203
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1207
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1208
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1210
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1211
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1212
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1213
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1214
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1216
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1217
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1219
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1220
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1222
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1224
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1226
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1227
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1228
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1229
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1230
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1232
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1233
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1234
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1235
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1237
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1238
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1240
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1241
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1243
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1244
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1246
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1247
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1252
No changes from 0.13rc1
1254
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1258
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1260
(Daniel Silverstone)
1262
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1263
operations are substantially faster.
1264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1266
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1267
tree from some other url. For example:
1268
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1269
(Daniel Silverstone)
1271
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1272
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1273
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1274
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1276
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1279
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1280
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1281
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1282
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1283
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1284
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1288
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1289
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1292
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1293
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1294
(John Arbash Meinel)
1296
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1297
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1298
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1299
(John Arbash Meinel)
1301
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1302
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1304
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1305
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1307
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1308
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1313
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1314
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1315
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1317
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1318
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1319
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1320
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1322
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1324
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1325
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1327
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1328
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1329
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1332
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1333
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1334
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1336
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1337
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1338
them as full references rather than integers.
1339
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1341
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1342
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1344
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1346
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1347
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1349
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1350
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1352
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1353
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1354
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1355
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1357
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1358
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1359
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1361
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1362
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1364
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1365
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1366
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1367
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1368
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1372
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1373
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1379
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1380
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1381
(John Arbash Meinel)
1383
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1387
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1388
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1389
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1390
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1392
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1393
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1395
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1397
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1398
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1399
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1400
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1402
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1403
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1404
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1405
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1406
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1408
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1410
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1411
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1415
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1416
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1417
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1419
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1420
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1421
(John Arbash Meinel)
1423
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1424
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1425
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1427
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1428
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1431
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1432
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1433
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1435
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1436
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1437
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1438
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1439
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1440
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1442
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1443
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1444
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1447
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1448
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1452
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1453
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1454
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1457
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1458
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1460
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1461
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1462
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1464
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1465
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1467
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1468
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1469
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1470
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1472
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1473
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1475
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1476
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1477
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1479
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1480
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1482
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1484
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1485
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1490
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1491
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1492
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1493
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1495
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1496
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1497
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1501
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1503
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1507
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1509
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1512
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1516
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1517
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1518
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1519
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1520
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1521
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1522
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1524
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1525
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1526
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1528
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1530
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1531
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1533
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1534
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1535
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1538
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1539
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1540
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1541
(John Arbash Meinel)
1543
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1544
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1545
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1546
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1549
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1550
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1551
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1552
(John Arbash Meinel)
1556
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1557
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1559
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1561
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1562
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1563
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1565
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1566
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1568
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1569
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1571
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1572
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1574
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1575
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1577
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1579
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1580
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1582
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1583
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1585
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1586
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1588
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1589
(John Arbash Meinel)
1591
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1592
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1593
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1595
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1596
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1598
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1599
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1600
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1601
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1603
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1604
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1605
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1607
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1608
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1612
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1616
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1617
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1618
(John Arbash Meinel)
1620
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1621
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1622
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1623
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1625
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1628
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1629
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1630
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1632
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1633
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1635
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1636
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1637
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1639
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1640
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1641
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1642
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1643
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1644
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1645
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1646
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1647
caller to repeat their request.
1648
(John Arbash Meinel)
1650
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1651
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1653
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1654
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1656
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1657
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1658
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1659
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1660
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1661
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1662
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1664
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1665
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1666
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1667
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1668
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1669
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1670
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1671
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1674
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1675
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1676
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1678
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1679
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1681
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1682
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1684
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1685
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1689
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1690
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1692
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1693
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1694
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1696
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1697
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1698
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1703
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1704
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1706
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1707
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1708
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1709
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1710
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1712
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1713
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1714
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1716
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1717
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1719
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1720
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1721
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1725
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1727
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1728
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1729
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1731
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1733
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1735
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1736
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1737
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1738
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1740
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1741
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1742
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1743
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1744
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1746
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1747
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1749
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1750
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1752
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1753
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1755
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1756
in handling of revision properties.
1757
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1759
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1760
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1764
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1765
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1766
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1767
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1768
(John Arbash Meinel)
1770
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1771
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1772
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1774
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1778
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1779
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1780
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1781
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1782
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1783
a more conservative list than the old default.
1784
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1785
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1786
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1787
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1789
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1790
to more locations than just branch locations.
1795
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1796
revno:N:branch. For example,
1797
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1798
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1800
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1801
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1802
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1803
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1804
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1805
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1806
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1807
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1810
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1811
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1812
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1815
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1816
(Alexander Belchenko)
1818
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1820
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1823
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1824
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1825
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1826
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1827
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1828
(John Arbash Meinel)
1830
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1831
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1832
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1833
grained analysis of performance.
1834
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1836
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1837
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1839
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1840
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1841
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1842
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1843
file. (Robert Collins).
1845
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1846
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1847
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1849
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1850
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1853
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1854
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1856
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1857
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1858
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1859
the same way you would apply another branch.
1860
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1862
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1863
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1865
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1868
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1871
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1872
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1873
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1875
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1876
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1877
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1879
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1880
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1882
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1883
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1884
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1885
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1886
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1888
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1889
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1891
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1892
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1893
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1894
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1895
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1896
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1897
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1898
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1900
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1901
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1902
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1906
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1908
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1910
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1911
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1913
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1914
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1916
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1917
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1919
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1921
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1922
(John Arbash Meinel)
1924
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1925
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1927
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1928
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1931
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1932
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1934
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1935
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1937
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1938
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1939
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1940
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1942
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1943
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1945
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1947
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1948
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1950
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1952
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1954
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1955
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1957
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1958
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1960
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1961
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1962
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1964
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1965
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1966
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1968
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1969
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1971
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1972
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1974
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1975
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1977
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1978
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1980
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1981
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1983
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1984
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1985
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1987
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1989
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1990
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1994
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1995
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1996
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1998
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1999
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2001
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2002
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2003
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2005
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2006
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2008
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2009
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2012
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2013
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2014
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2016
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2017
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2018
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2020
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2021
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2022
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2024
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2025
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2026
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2028
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2029
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2030
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2032
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2033
instead. (Robert Collins)
2035
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2037
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2041
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2043
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2047
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2048
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2050
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2051
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2053
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2054
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2055
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2059
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2061
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2062
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2064
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2068
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2069
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2070
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2071
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2075
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2076
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2077
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2081
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2082
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2083
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2087
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2088
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2092
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2094
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2095
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2096
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2097
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2098
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2099
will keep the same format.
2101
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2102
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2103
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2104
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2105
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2107
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2108
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2109
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2110
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2111
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2112
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2113
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2115
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2116
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2117
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2118
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2119
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2121
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2122
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2123
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2129
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2130
convention. Paths now take the form::
2132
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2134
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2136
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2137
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2139
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2140
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2141
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2143
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2144
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2145
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2146
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2148
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2149
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2150
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2152
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2154
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2156
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2157
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2160
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2161
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2164
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2166
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2167
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2168
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2171
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2173
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2175
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2178
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2179
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2181
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2182
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2185
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2186
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2189
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2191
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2193
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2194
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2196
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2197
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2198
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2199
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2200
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2201
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2203
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2205
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2206
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2209
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2210
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2212
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2213
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2215
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2217
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2218
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2219
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2220
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2221
specification by Martin Pool.
2222
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2224
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2227
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2228
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2230
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2231
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2232
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2234
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2236
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2237
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2242
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2243
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2245
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2247
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2249
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2252
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2253
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2254
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2255
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2259
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2260
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2261
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2262
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2264
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2265
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2266
tried. (Martin Pool)
2268
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2271
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2273
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2274
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2275
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2277
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2278
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2280
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2281
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2282
paths. (Robert Collins)
2284
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2285
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2286
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2288
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2289
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2290
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2292
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2293
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2294
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2296
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2299
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2302
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2304
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2306
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2307
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2308
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2311
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2312
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2314
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2315
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2316
check. (Robert Collins)
2318
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2319
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2323
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2324
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2326
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2327
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2328
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2329
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2331
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2332
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2333
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2334
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2335
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2337
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2338
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2339
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2341
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2343
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2344
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2350
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2351
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2353
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2354
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2355
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2358
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2359
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2361
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2362
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2363
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2364
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2365
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2367
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2368
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2369
used. (Robert Collins)
2371
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2372
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2375
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2376
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2377
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2379
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2382
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2383
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2387
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2388
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2390
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2392
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2394
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2395
tree. (Robert Collins)
2397
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2398
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2399
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2402
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2405
* Tweaks to short log printing
2407
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2410
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2411
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2413
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2414
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2416
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2417
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2419
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2420
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2421
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2423
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2424
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2426
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2427
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2430
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2431
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2433
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2434
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2436
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2437
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2439
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2442
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2443
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2445
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2446
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2448
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2449
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2450
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2454
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2456
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2458
* Error when run with -OO
2460
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2463
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2465
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2467
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2468
ignored by diff and status
2470
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2471
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2473
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2475
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2477
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2478
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2480
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2481
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2483
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2486
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2487
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2489
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2491
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2492
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2494
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2497
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2498
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2500
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2504
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2505
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2507
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2509
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2511
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2513
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2514
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2515
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2517
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2519
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2520
(John Arbash Meinel)
2522
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2524
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2525
If adding a new test script please add that to
2526
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2528
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2529
imported. (Martin Pool)
2531
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2532
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2533
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2534
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2535
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2538
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2539
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2540
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2542
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2543
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2544
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2546
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2547
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2548
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2549
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2550
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2553
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2554
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2559
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2560
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2562
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2563
function. (Robert Collins)
2565
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2566
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2567
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2569
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2570
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2573
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2574
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2575
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2576
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2577
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2578
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2579
version. (Robert Collins)
2581
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2582
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2584
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2585
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2586
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2587
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2588
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2589
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2591
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2594
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2604
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2606
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2608
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2611
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2612
query method. (Robert Collins)
2614
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2617
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2620
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2623
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2624
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2625
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2626
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2628
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2629
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2630
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2631
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2633
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2634
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2640
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2643
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2647
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2648
a separator, not ':'.
2651
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2652
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2653
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2655
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2656
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2659
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2660
has been added that suppresses all output.
2662
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2665
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2666
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2668
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2669
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2671
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2672
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2674
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2675
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2676
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2677
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2679
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2681
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2682
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2684
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2685
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2687
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2688
output directory, if one was supplied.
2690
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2691
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2692
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2693
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2695
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2697
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2698
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2700
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2701
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2702
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2704
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2705
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2707
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2710
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2712
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2716
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2717
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2718
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2720
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2721
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2722
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2724
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2725
is given. (Martin Pool)
2727
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2728
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2729
file. (Robert Collins)
2731
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2736
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2737
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2738
representation. (Martin Pool).
2740
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2741
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2742
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2744
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2747
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2748
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2751
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2752
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2753
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2754
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2755
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2757
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2758
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2759
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2760
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2761
python path. (Robert Collins)
2763
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2764
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2765
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2766
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2768
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2769
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2771
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2772
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2775
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2776
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2777
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2779
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2780
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2781
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2783
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2784
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2786
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2787
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2788
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2791
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2792
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2793
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2794
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2797
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2800
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2801
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2804
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2805
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2806
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2808
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2809
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2810
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2812
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2813
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2814
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2816
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2817
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2819
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2820
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2821
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2822
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2823
caller. (Robert Collins)
2825
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2826
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2829
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2830
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2833
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2835
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2836
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2840
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2841
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2843
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2844
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2847
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2851
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2852
allow directories to be listed.
2854
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2855
upgrading branch format.
2859
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2866
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2867
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2868
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2869
high-latency connections.
2873
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2876
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2877
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2879
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2880
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2881
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2882
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2884
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2885
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2887
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2888
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2890
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2891
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2892
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2894
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2895
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2896
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2899
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2900
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2902
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2903
different partial views of history.
2905
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2906
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2910
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2911
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2912
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2914
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2915
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2918
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2919
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2921
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2924
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2925
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2927
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2928
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2929
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2930
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2932
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2934
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2935
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2938
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2939
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2941
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2942
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2943
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2948
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2949
for your viewing pleasure.
2951
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2952
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2954
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2955
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2956
handling of such circumstances.
2958
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2959
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2960
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2962
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2964
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2965
we call them revisions not patches.
2967
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2968
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2970
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2971
giving the revision *of that file*.
2973
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2974
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2975
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2979
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2980
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2982
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2983
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2986
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2990
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2992
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2995
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2997
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2999
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3000
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3004
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3005
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3007
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3008
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3009
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3010
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3013
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3014
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3018
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3020
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3021
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3024
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3028
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3029
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3030
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3031
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3034
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3037
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3038
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3039
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3040
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3041
for the operating system is still tried.
3043
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3044
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3045
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3050
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3054
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3056
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3059
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3065
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3067
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3070
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3074
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3075
help with intelligent shell completion.
3077
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3082
* Much better merge support.
3084
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3085
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3091
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3092
mention revisions that are not present.
3094
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3096
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3098
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3099
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3104
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3106
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3107
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3113
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3114
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3119
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3123
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3124
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3126
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3128
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3129
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3131
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3134
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3136
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3139
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3140
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3142
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3143
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3144
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3149
* Faster working tree operations.
3154
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3155
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3156
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3157
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3159
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3160
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3161
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3162
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3163
standard plugins directory.
3165
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3166
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3167
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3168
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3170
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3171
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3173
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3176
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3177
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3178
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3180
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3181
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3183
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3184
line options must come before the command name because they
3185
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3186
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3189
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3191
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3192
is available with ``--short``.
3197
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3200
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3204
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3205
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3207
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3208
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3209
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3210
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3212
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3213
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3214
with the ``--forward`` option.
3216
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3217
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3223
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3224
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3226
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3228
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3229
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3231
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3233
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3234
either read or write mode.
3236
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3238
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3241
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3243
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3244
suggested by LarstiQ.
3246
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3247
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3249
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3252
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3253
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3255
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3256
haven't changed since the previous time.
3258
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3259
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3261
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3263
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3265
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3266
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3268
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3269
options through to an external GNU diff.
3271
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3274
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3280
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3281
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3283
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3289
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3290
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3293
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3294
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3296
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3297
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3299
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3300
under a different version.
3302
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3307
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3309
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3310
Scott James Remnant.
3312
* Better help messages for many commands.
3314
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3315
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3317
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3318
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3320
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3322
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3324
* New AtomicFile class.
3326
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3331
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3332
2.4 is now only recommended.
3335
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3339
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3340
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3342
* More default ignore patterns.
3344
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3345
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3347
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3349
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3352
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3357
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3358
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3359
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3360
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3361
there are DNS problems.
3363
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3368
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3370
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3372
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3373
trailing newlines properly.
3378
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3381
* More tests in test.sh.
3383
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3384
directory and delete it when done.
3386
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3391
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3394
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3398
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3402
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3405
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3407
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3410
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3413
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3415
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3419
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3420
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3425
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3426
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3431
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3435
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3442
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
3445
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3449
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3451
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3452
rather than replacing it.
3454
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3458
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3461
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3462
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3464
* Performance improvements.
3466
* New global --profile option.
3468
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3469
the root directory only.
3472
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3476
* More information from info command.
3478
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3480
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3481
committing to stores.
3483
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3487
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3491
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3492
installation easier.
3494
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3498
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
