5
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
11
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
12
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
14
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
15
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
17
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
18
the repository (Robert Collins)
20
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
21
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
22
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
23
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
24
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
26
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
27
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
29
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
30
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
33
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
34
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
37
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
38
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
40
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
43
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
44
more robust against email mangling. (Aaron Bentley)
48
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
49
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
50
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
51
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
55
* merge now uses iter_changes to calculate changes, which makes room for
56
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
57
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
58
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
60
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
61
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
62
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
64
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
65
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
66
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
67
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
68
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
69
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
70
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
72
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
73
functionality for testing.
75
* New ``file_names.FileNames`` support class which mananges names
76
for unlistable transport situations. (Robert Collins)
80
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
81
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
82
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
84
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
85
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
92
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
95
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
99
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
100
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
102
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
103
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
104
(James Westby, #122656)
106
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
107
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
109
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
110
authentication header.
111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
113
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
115
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
116
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
118
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
120
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
123
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
124
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
125
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
127
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
128
individually and as part of revision ranges.
131
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
132
(Martin Pool, #109169)
134
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
137
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
138
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
140
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
142
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
146
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
147
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
148
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
149
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
150
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
151
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
153
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
154
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
155
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
157
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
160
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
161
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
163
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
164
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
166
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
167
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
169
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
170
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
171
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
172
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
173
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
175
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
176
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
178
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
179
can be slow it is useful feedback).
180
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
182
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
183
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
185
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
187
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
188
output. (Aaron Bentley)
190
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
191
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
194
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
197
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
198
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
200
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
201
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
203
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
204
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
206
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
208
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
209
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
211
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
217
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
218
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
219
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
220
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
221
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
222
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
223
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
224
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
225
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
226
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
227
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
228
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
229
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
230
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
231
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
232
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
233
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
236
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
238
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
239
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
240
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
242
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
243
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
245
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
246
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
248
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
250
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
251
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
252
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
253
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
254
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
255
same location. (Robert Collins)
259
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
261
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
263
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
265
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
268
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
271
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
272
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
273
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
275
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
277
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
278
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
279
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
281
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
282
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
284
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
285
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
286
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
288
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
289
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
290
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
292
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
293
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
294
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
296
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
297
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
300
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
301
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
303
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
304
(Alexander Belchenko)
308
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
309
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
310
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
311
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
313
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
314
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
315
testing. (Robert Collins)
317
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
318
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
320
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
321
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
322
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
323
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
324
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
325
attribute during the test parameterisation in
326
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
328
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
329
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
330
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
331
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
333
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
334
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
336
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
337
avoid useless cloning.
338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
345
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
346
(Colin Watson, #120647)
348
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
349
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
354
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
356
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
357
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
358
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
359
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
360
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
361
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
362
and unlock() like so::
364
work_tree.lock_read()
366
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
371
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
372
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
374
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
375
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
376
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
378
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
379
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
380
too. (Robert Collins)
384
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
385
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
388
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
391
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
392
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
394
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
395
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
396
understanding what changes have occurred
397
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
399
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
400
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
401
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
403
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
404
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
405
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
406
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
408
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
413
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
414
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
415
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
416
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
417
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
419
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
420
based on split paths, not just string paths.
421
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
423
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
424
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
426
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
430
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
431
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
433
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
434
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
436
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
437
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
439
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
440
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
442
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
443
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
445
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
446
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
447
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
453
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
454
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
455
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
456
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
457
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
459
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
460
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
461
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
463
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
464
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
468
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
469
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
470
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
472
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
473
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
474
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
475
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
477
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
481
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
482
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
483
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
484
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
486
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
487
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
488
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
490
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
491
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
493
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
494
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
496
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
497
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
499
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
501
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
503
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
504
it could be recovered again.
505
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
506
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
507
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
509
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
511
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
512
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
516
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
517
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
519
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
520
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
521
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
522
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
524
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
525
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
527
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
528
tests with names that match that regular expression.
529
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
531
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
532
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
533
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
535
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
536
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
537
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
539
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
540
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
543
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
546
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
547
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
548
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
549
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
551
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
554
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
555
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
556
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
559
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
560
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
562
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
563
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
565
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
566
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
567
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
568
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
571
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
572
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
574
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
575
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
577
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
578
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
579
(Robert Collins, #107125).
581
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
582
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
583
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
585
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
586
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
587
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
589
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
590
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
591
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
592
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
594
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
595
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
596
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
597
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
599
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
600
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
601
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
602
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
603
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
604
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
605
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
606
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
612
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
613
code paths. (Robert Collins)
615
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
616
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
617
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
618
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
619
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
621
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
622
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
624
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
625
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
627
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
628
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
630
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
631
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
633
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
634
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
635
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
638
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
639
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
640
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
641
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
642
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
645
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
646
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
647
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
649
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
650
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
653
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
654
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
655
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
658
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
659
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
660
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
661
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
662
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
664
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
665
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
666
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
667
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
669
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
670
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
672
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
673
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
674
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
675
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
676
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
677
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
679
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
680
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
682
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
683
help. (Robert Collins)
685
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
686
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
688
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
689
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
690
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
691
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
694
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
695
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
696
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
697
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
698
useful. (Robert Collins)
700
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
705
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
706
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
708
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
709
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
711
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
712
properly and is no longer beneficial.
713
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
715
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
718
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
719
the file, and does it faster.
720
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
722
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
723
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
724
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
726
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
727
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
728
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
729
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
731
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
732
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
733
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
734
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
736
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
737
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
739
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
740
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
741
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
742
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
745
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
747
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
748
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
750
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
751
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
753
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
754
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
755
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
756
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
760
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
761
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
765
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
766
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
767
in running it. (Robert Collins)
769
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
770
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
772
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
773
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
774
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
775
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
776
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
777
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
778
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
779
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
781
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
782
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
783
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
785
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
786
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
787
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
788
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
789
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
791
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
793
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
794
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
795
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
797
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
798
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
805
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
808
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
809
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
812
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
816
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
817
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
822
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
823
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
824
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
825
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
826
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
827
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
828
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
829
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
834
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
835
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
836
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
838
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
839
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
842
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
843
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
846
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
847
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
848
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
849
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
850
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
854
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
857
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
858
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
860
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
861
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
863
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
864
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
865
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
867
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
868
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
870
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
871
last-changed-revision for directories. The
872
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
873
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
874
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
876
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
877
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
878
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
880
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
883
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
885
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
887
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
888
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
889
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
893
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
894
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
896
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
897
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
899
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
901
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
902
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
904
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
905
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
909
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
914
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
915
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
916
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
917
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
919
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
920
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
922
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
923
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
925
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
928
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
929
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
932
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
936
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
937
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
938
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
939
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
940
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
941
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
943
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
944
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
945
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
946
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
947
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
948
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
950
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
952
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
953
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
954
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
955
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
956
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
957
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
958
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
959
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
963
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
964
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
966
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
967
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
968
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
969
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
971
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
972
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
973
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
974
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
975
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
977
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
980
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
983
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
986
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
987
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
990
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
993
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
994
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
996
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
997
directory. (Martin Pool)
999
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1000
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1001
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1002
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1004
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1005
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1006
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1007
in docs/configuration.txt.
1009
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1010
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1013
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1014
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1015
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1016
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1017
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1018
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1020
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1021
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1023
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1024
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1026
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1031
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1032
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1033
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1034
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1035
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1036
(John Arbash Meinel)
1038
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1039
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1042
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1043
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1044
(John Arbash Meinel)
1046
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1047
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1048
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1049
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1050
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1051
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1053
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1054
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1055
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1057
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1058
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1059
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1060
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1062
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1064
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1065
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1066
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1067
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1069
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1070
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1071
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1072
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1074
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1075
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1076
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1078
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1079
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1080
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1082
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1083
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1084
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1085
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1087
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1088
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1089
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1091
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1092
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1093
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1095
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1096
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1097
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1098
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1099
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1100
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1101
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1102
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1103
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1104
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1105
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1109
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1110
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1111
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1113
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1116
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1117
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1118
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1119
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1121
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1122
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1125
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1126
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1128
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1130
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1131
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1132
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1134
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1135
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1137
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1140
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1143
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1144
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1146
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1148
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1149
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1153
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1154
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1161
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1165
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1166
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1167
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1169
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1170
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1171
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1174
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1178
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1179
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1180
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1181
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1183
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1186
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1187
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1188
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1190
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1191
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1193
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1196
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1197
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1198
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1199
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1200
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1201
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1203
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1204
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1205
should enable you to do::
1207
[/home/user/project]
1208
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1209
push_location:policy = appendpath
1211
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1212
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1215
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1216
for each file. For example::
1218
$ bzr status --short
1224
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1225
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1227
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1229
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1230
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1232
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1236
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1237
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1238
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1239
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1241
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1242
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1243
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1245
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1247
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1248
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1249
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1250
(Alexander Belchenko)
1252
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1255
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1256
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1258
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1262
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1263
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1265
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1266
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1267
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1268
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1269
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1271
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1272
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1274
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1275
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1277
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1279
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1281
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1282
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1283
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1284
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1285
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1287
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1288
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1289
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1290
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1292
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1293
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1295
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1296
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1298
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1299
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1301
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1302
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1307
No changes from 0.13rc1
1309
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1313
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1315
(Daniel Silverstone)
1317
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1318
operations are substantially faster.
1319
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1321
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1322
tree from some other url. For example:
1323
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1324
(Daniel Silverstone)
1326
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1327
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1328
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1329
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1331
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1334
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1335
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1336
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1337
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1338
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1339
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1343
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1344
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1347
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1348
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1349
(John Arbash Meinel)
1351
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1352
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1353
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1354
(John Arbash Meinel)
1356
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1357
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1359
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1360
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1362
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1363
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1368
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1369
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1370
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1372
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1373
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1374
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1375
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1377
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1379
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1380
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1382
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1383
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1384
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1387
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1388
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1389
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1391
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1392
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1393
them as full references rather than integers.
1394
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1396
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1397
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1399
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1401
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1402
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1404
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1405
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1407
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1408
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1409
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1410
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1412
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1413
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1414
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1416
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1417
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1419
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1420
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1421
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1422
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1423
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1427
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1428
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1434
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1435
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1436
(John Arbash Meinel)
1438
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1442
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1443
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1444
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1445
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1447
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1448
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1450
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1452
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1453
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1454
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1455
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1457
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1458
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1459
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1460
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1461
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1463
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1465
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1466
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1470
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1471
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1472
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1474
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1475
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1476
(John Arbash Meinel)
1478
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1479
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1480
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1482
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1483
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1486
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1487
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1488
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1490
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1491
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1492
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1493
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1494
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1495
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1497
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1498
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1499
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1502
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1503
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1507
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1508
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1509
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1512
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1513
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1515
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1516
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1517
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1519
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1520
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1522
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1523
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1524
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1525
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1527
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1528
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1530
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1531
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1532
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1534
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1535
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1537
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1539
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1540
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1545
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1546
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1547
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1548
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1550
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1551
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1552
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1556
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1558
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1562
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1564
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1567
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1571
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1572
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1573
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1574
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1575
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1576
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1577
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1579
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1580
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1581
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1583
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1585
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1586
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1588
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1589
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1590
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1593
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1594
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1595
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1596
(John Arbash Meinel)
1598
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1599
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1600
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1601
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1604
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1605
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1606
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1607
(John Arbash Meinel)
1611
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1612
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1614
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1616
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1617
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1618
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1620
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1621
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1623
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1624
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1626
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1629
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1630
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1632
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1634
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1635
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1637
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1638
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1640
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1641
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1643
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1644
(John Arbash Meinel)
1646
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1647
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1648
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1650
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1651
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1653
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1654
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1655
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1656
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1658
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1659
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1660
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1662
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1663
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1667
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1671
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1672
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1673
(John Arbash Meinel)
1675
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1676
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1677
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1678
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1680
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1683
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1684
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1685
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1687
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1688
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1690
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1691
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1692
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1694
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1695
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1696
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1697
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1698
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1699
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1700
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1701
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1702
caller to repeat their request.
1703
(John Arbash Meinel)
1705
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1706
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1708
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1709
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1711
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1712
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1713
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1714
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1715
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1716
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1717
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1719
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1720
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1721
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1722
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1723
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1724
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1725
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1726
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1729
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1730
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1731
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1733
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1734
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1736
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1737
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1739
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1740
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1744
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1745
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1747
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1748
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1749
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1751
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1752
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1753
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1758
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1759
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1761
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1762
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1763
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1764
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1765
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1767
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1768
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1769
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1771
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1772
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1774
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1775
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1776
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1780
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1782
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1783
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1784
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1786
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1788
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1790
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1791
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1792
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1793
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1795
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1796
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1797
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1798
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1799
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1801
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1802
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1804
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1805
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1807
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1808
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1810
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1811
in handling of revision properties.
1812
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1814
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1815
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1819
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1820
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1821
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1822
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1823
(John Arbash Meinel)
1825
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1826
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1827
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1829
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1833
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1834
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1835
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1836
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1837
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1838
a more conservative list than the old default.
1839
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1840
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1841
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1842
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1844
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1845
to more locations than just branch locations.
1850
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1851
revno:N:branch. For example,
1852
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1853
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1855
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1856
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1857
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1858
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1859
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1860
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1861
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1862
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1865
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1866
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1867
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1870
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1871
(Alexander Belchenko)
1873
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1875
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1878
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1879
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1880
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1881
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1882
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1883
(John Arbash Meinel)
1885
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1886
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1887
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1888
grained analysis of performance.
1889
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1891
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1892
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1894
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1895
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1896
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1897
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1898
file. (Robert Collins).
1900
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1901
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1902
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1904
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1905
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1908
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1909
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1911
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1912
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1913
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1914
the same way you would apply another branch.
1915
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1917
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1918
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1920
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1923
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1926
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1927
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1928
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1930
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1931
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1932
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1934
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1935
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1937
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1938
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1939
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1940
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1941
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1943
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1944
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1946
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1947
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1948
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1949
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1950
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1951
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1952
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1953
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1955
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1956
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1957
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1961
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1963
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1965
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1966
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1968
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1969
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1971
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1972
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1974
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1976
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1977
(John Arbash Meinel)
1979
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1980
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1982
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1983
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1986
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1987
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1989
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1990
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1992
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1993
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1994
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1995
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1997
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1998
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2000
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2002
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2003
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2005
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2007
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2009
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2010
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2012
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2013
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2015
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2016
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2017
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2019
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2020
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2021
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2023
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2024
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2026
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2027
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2029
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2030
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2032
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2033
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2035
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2036
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2038
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2039
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2040
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2042
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2044
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2045
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2049
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2050
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2051
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2053
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2054
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2056
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2057
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2058
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2060
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2061
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2063
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2064
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2067
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2068
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2069
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2071
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2072
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2073
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2075
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2076
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2077
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2079
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2080
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2081
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2083
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2084
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2085
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2087
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2088
instead. (Robert Collins)
2090
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2092
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2096
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2098
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2102
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2103
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2105
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2106
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2108
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2109
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2110
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2114
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2116
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2117
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2119
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2123
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2124
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2125
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2126
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2130
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2131
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2132
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2136
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2137
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2138
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2142
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2143
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2147
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2149
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2150
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2151
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2152
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2153
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2154
will keep the same format.
2156
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2157
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2158
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2159
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2160
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2162
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2163
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2164
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2165
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2166
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2167
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2168
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2170
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2171
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2172
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2173
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2174
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2176
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2177
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2178
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2184
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2185
convention. Paths now take the form::
2187
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path

sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2191
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2192
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2194
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2195
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2196
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2198
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2199
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2200
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2201
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2203
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2204
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2205
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2207
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2209
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2211
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2212
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2215
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2216
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2219
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2221
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2222
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2223
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2226
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2228
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2230
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2233
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2234
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2236
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2237
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2240
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2241
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2244
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2246
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2248
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2249
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2251
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2252
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2253
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2254
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2255
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2256
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2258
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2260
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2261
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2264
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2265
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2267
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2268
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2270
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2272
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2273
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2274
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2275
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2276
specification by Martin Pool.
2277
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2279
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2282
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2283
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2285
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2286
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2287
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2289
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2291
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2292
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2297
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2298
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2300
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2302
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2304
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2307
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2308
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2309
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2310
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2314
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2315
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2316
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2317
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2319
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2320
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2321
tried. (Martin Pool)
2323
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2326
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2328
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2329
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2330
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2332
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2333
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2335
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2336
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2337
paths. (Robert Collins)
2339
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2340
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2341
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2343
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2344
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2345
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2347
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2348
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2349
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2351
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2354
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2357
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2359
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2361
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2362
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2363
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2366
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2367
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2369
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2370
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2371
check. (Robert Collins)
2373
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2374
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2378
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2379
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2381
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2382
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2383
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2384
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2386
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2387
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2388
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2389
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2390
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2392
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2393
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2394
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2396
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2398
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2399
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2405
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2406
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2408
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2409
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2410
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2413
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2414
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2416
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2417
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2418
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2419
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2420
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2422
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2423
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2424
used. (Robert Collins)
2426
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2427
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2430
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2431
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2432
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2434
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2437
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2438
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2442
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2443
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2445
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2447
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2449
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2450
tree. (Robert Collins)
2452
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2453
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2454
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2457
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2460
* Tweaks to short log printing
2462
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2465
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2466
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2468
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2469
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2471
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2472
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2474
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2475
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2476
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2478
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2479
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2481
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2482
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2485
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2486
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2488
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2489
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2491
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2492
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2494
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2497
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2498
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2500
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2501
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2503
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2504
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2505
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2509
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2511
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2513
* Error when run with -OO
2515
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2518
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2520
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2522
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2523
ignored by diff and status
2525
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2526
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2528
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2530
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2532
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2533
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2535
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2536
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2538
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2541
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2542
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2544
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2546
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2547
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2549
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2552
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2553
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2555
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2559
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2560
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2562
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2564
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2566
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2568
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2569
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2570
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2572
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2574
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2575
(John Arbash Meinel)
2577
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2579
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2580
If adding a new test script please add that to
2581
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2583
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2584
imported. (Martin Pool)
2586
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2587
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2588
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2589
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2590
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2593
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2594
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2595
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2597
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2598
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2599
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2601
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2602
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2603
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2604
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2605
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2608
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2609
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2614
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2615
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2617
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2618
function. (Robert Collins)
2620
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2621
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2622
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2624
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2625
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2628
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2629
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2630
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2631
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2632
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2633
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2634
version. (Robert Collins)
2636
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2637
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2639
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2640
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2641
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2642
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2643
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2644
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2646
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2649
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2659
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2661
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2663
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2666
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2667
query method. (Robert Collins)
2669
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2672
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2675
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2678
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2679
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2680
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2681
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2683
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2684
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2685
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2686
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2688
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2689
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2695
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2698
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2702
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2703
a separator, not ':'.
2706
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2707
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2708
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2710
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2711
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2714
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2715
has been added that suppresses all output.
2717
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2720
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2721
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2723
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2724
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2726
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2727
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2729
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2730
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2731
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2732
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2734
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2736
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2737
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2739
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2740
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2742
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2743
output directory, if one was supplied.
2745
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2746
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2747
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2748
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2750
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2752
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2753
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2755
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2756
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2757
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2759
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2760
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2762
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2765
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2767
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2771
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2772
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2773
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2775
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2776
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2777
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2779
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2780
is given. (Martin Pool)
2782
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2783
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2784
file. (Robert Collins)
2786
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2791
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2792
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2793
representation. (Martin Pool).
2795
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2796
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2797
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2799
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2802
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2803
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2806
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2807
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2808
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2809
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2810
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2812
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2813
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2814
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2815
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2816
python path. (Robert Collins)
2818
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2819
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2820
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2821
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2823
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2824
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2826
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2827
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2830
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2831
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2832
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2834
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2835
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2836
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2838
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2839
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2841
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2842
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2843
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2846
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2847
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2848
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2849
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2852
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2855
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2856
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2859
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2860
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2861
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2863
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2864
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2865
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2867
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2868
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2869
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2871
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2872
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2874
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2875
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2876
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2877
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2878
caller. (Robert Collins)
2880
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2881
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2884
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2885
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2888
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2890
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2891
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2895
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2896
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2898
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2899
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2902
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2906
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2907
allow directories to be listed.
2909
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2910
upgrading branch format.
2914
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2921
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2922
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2923
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2924
high-latency connections.
2928
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2931
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2932
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2934
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2935
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2936
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2937
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2939
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2940
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2942
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2943
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2945
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2946
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2947
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2949
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2950
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2951
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2954
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2955
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2957
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2958
different partial views of history.
2960
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2961
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2965
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2966
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2967
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2969
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2970
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2973
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2974
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2976
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2979
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2980
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2982
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2983
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2984
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2985
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2987
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2989
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2990
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2993
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2994
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2996
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2997
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2998
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3003
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3004
for your viewing pleasure.
3006
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3007
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3009
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3010
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3011
handling of such circumstances.
3013
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3014
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3015
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3017
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3019
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3020
we call them revisions not patches.
3022
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3023
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3025
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3026
giving the revision *of that file*.
3028
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3029
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3030
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3034
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3035
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3037
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3038
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3041
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3045
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3047
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3050
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3052
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3054
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3055
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3059
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3060
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3062
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3063
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3064
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3065
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3068
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3069
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3073
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3075
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3076
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3079
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3083
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3084
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3085
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3086
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3089
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3092
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3093
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3094
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3095
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3096
for the operating system is still tried.
3098
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3099
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3100
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3105
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3109
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3111
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3114
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3120
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3122
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3125
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3129
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3130
help with intelligent shell completion.
3132
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3137
* Much better merge support.
3139
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3140
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3146
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3147
mention revisions that are not present.
3149
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3151
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3153
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3154
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3159
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3161
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3162
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3168
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3169
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3174
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3178
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3179
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3181
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3183
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3184
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3186
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3189
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3191
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3194
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3195
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3197
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3198
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3199
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3204
* Faster working tree operations.
3209
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3210
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3211
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3212
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3214
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3215
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3216
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3217
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3218
standard plugins directory.
3220
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3221
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3222
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3223
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3225
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3226
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3228
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3231
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3232
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3233
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3235
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3236
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3238
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3239
line options must come before the command name because they
3240
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3241
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3244
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3246
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3247
is available with ``--short``.
3252
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3255
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3259
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3260
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3262
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3263
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3264
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3265
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3267
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3268
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3269
with the ``--forward`` option.
3271
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3272
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3278
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3279
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3281
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3283
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3284
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3286
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3288
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3289
either read or write mode.
3291
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3293
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3296
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3298
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3299
suggested by LarstiQ.
3301
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3302
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3304
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3307
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3308
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3310
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3311
haven't changed since the previous time.
3313
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3314
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3316
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3318
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3320
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3321
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3323
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3324
options through to an external GNU diff.
3326
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3329
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3335
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3336
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3338
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3344
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3345
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3348
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3349
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3351
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3352
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3354
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3355
under a different version.
3357
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3362
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3364
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3365
Scott James Remnant.
3367
* Better help messages for many commands.
3369
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3370
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3372
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3373
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3375
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3377
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3379
* New AtomicFile class.
3381
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3386
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3387
2.4 is now only recommended.
3390
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3394
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3395
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3397
* More default ignore patterns.
3399
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3400
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3402
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3404
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3407
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3412
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3413
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3414
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3415
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3416
there are DNS problems.
3418
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3423
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3425
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3427
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3428
trailing newlines properly.
3433
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3436
* More tests in test.sh.
3438
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3439
directory and delete it when done.
3441
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3446
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3449
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3453
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3457
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3460
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3462
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3465
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3468
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3470
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3474
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3475
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3480
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3481
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3486
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3490
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3497
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
3500
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3504
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3506
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3507
rather than replacing it.
3509
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3513
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3516
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3517
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3519
* Performance improvements.
3521
* New global --profile option.
3523
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3524
the root directory only.
3527
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3531
