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)
46
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
50
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
51
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
52
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
53
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
57
* merge now uses iter_changes to calculate changes, which makes room for
58
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
59
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
60
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
62
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
63
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
64
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
66
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
67
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
68
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
69
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
70
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
71
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
72
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
74
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
75
functionality for testing.
77
* New ``file_names.FileNames`` support class which mananges names
78
for unlistable transport situations. (Robert Collins)
80
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
82
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
83
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
85
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
89
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
90
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
91
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
93
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
94
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
101
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
104
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
108
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
109
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
111
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
112
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
113
(James Westby, #122656)
115
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
116
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
118
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
119
authentication header.
120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
122
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
124
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
125
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
127
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
129
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
132
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
133
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
136
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
137
individually and as part of revision ranges.
140
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
141
(Martin Pool, #109169)
143
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
146
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
147
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
149
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
151
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
155
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
156
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
157
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
158
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
159
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
160
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
162
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
163
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
164
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
166
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
169
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
170
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
172
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
173
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
175
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
176
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
178
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
179
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
180
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
181
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
182
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
184
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
185
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
187
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
188
can be slow it is useful feedback).
189
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
191
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
192
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
194
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
196
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
197
output. (Aaron Bentley)
199
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
200
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
203
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
206
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
207
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
209
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
210
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
212
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
213
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
215
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
217
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
218
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
220
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
226
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
227
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
228
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
229
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
230
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
231
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
232
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
233
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
234
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
235
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
236
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
237
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
238
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
239
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
240
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
241
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
242
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
245
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
247
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
248
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
249
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
251
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
252
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
254
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
255
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
257
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
259
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
260
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
261
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
262
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
263
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
264
same location. (Robert Collins)
268
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
270
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
272
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
274
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
277
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
280
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
281
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
282
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
284
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
286
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
287
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
288
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
290
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
291
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
293
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
294
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
295
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
297
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
298
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
299
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
301
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
302
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
303
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
305
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
306
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
309
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
310
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
312
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
313
(Alexander Belchenko)
317
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
318
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
319
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
320
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
322
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
323
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
324
testing. (Robert Collins)
326
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
327
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
329
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
330
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
331
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
332
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
333
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
334
attribute during the test parameterisation in
335
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
337
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
338
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
339
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
340
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
342
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
343
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
345
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
346
avoid useless cloning.
347
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
354
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
355
(Colin Watson, #120647)
357
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
358
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
361
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
363
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
365
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
366
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
367
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
368
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
369
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
370
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
371
and unlock() like so::
373
work_tree.lock_read()
375
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
380
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
381
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
383
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
384
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
385
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
387
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
388
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
389
too. (Robert Collins)
393
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
394
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
397
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
400
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
401
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
403
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
404
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
405
understanding what changes have occurred
406
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
408
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
409
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
410
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
412
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
413
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
414
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
415
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
417
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
422
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
423
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
424
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
425
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
426
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
428
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
429
based on split paths, not just string paths.
430
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
432
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
433
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
435
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
439
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
440
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
442
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
443
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
445
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
446
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
448
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
449
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
451
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
452
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
454
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
455
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
456
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
462
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
463
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
464
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
465
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
466
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
468
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
469
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
470
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
472
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
473
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
477
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
478
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
479
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
481
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
482
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
483
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
484
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
486
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
490
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
491
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
492
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
493
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
495
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
496
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
497
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
499
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
500
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
502
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
503
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
505
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
506
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
508
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
510
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
512
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
513
it could be recovered again.
514
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
515
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
516
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
518
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
520
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
521
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
525
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
526
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
528
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
529
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
530
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
531
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
533
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
534
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
536
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
537
tests with names that match that regular expression.
538
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
540
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
541
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
542
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
544
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
545
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
546
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
548
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
549
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
552
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
555
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
556
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
557
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
558
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
560
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
563
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
564
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
565
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
568
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
569
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
571
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
572
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
574
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
575
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
576
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
577
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
580
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
581
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
583
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
584
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
586
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
587
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
588
(Robert Collins, #107125).
590
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
591
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
592
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
594
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
595
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
596
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
598
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
599
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
600
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
601
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
603
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
604
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
605
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
606
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
608
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
609
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
610
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
611
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
612
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
613
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
614
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
615
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
621
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
622
code paths. (Robert Collins)
624
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
625
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
626
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
627
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
628
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
630
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
631
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
633
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
634
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
636
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
637
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
639
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
640
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
642
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
643
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
644
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
647
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
648
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
649
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
650
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
651
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
654
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
655
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
656
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
658
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
659
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
662
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
663
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
664
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
667
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
668
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
669
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
670
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
671
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
673
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
674
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
675
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
676
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
678
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
679
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
681
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
682
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
683
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
684
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
685
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
686
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
688
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
689
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
691
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
692
help. (Robert Collins)
694
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
695
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
697
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
698
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
699
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
700
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
703
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
704
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
705
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
706
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
707
useful. (Robert Collins)
709
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
714
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
715
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
717
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
718
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
720
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
721
properly and is no longer beneficial.
722
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
724
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
727
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
728
the file, and does it faster.
729
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
731
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
732
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
733
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
735
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
736
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
737
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
738
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
740
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
741
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
742
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
743
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
745
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
746
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
748
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
749
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
750
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
751
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
754
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
756
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
757
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
759
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
760
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
762
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
763
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
764
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
765
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
769
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
770
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
774
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
775
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
776
in running it. (Robert Collins)
778
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
779
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
781
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
782
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
783
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
784
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
785
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
786
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
787
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
788
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
790
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
791
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
792
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
794
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
795
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
796
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
797
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
798
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
800
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
802
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
803
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
804
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
806
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
807
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
814
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
817
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
818
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
821
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
825
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
826
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
831
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
832
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
833
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
834
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
835
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
836
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
837
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
838
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
843
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
844
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
845
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
847
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
848
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
851
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
852
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
855
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
856
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
857
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
858
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
859
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
863
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
866
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
867
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
869
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
870
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
872
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
873
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
874
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
876
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
877
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
879
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
880
last-changed-revision for directories. The
881
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
882
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
883
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
885
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
886
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
887
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
889
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
892
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
894
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
896
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
897
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
898
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
902
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
903
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
905
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
906
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
908
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
910
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
911
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
913
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
914
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
918
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
923
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
924
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
925
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
926
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
928
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
929
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
931
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
932
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
934
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
937
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
938
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
941
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
945
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
946
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
947
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
948
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
949
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
950
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
952
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
953
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
954
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
955
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
956
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
957
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
959
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
961
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
962
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
963
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
964
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
965
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
966
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
967
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
968
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
972
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
973
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
975
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
976
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
977
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
978
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
980
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
981
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
982
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
983
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
984
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
986
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
989
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
992
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
995
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
996
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
999
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1002
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1003
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1005
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1006
directory. (Martin Pool)
1008
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1009
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1010
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1011
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1013
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1014
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1015
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1016
in docs/configuration.txt.
1018
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1019
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1022
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1023
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1024
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1025
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1026
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1027
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1029
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1030
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1032
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1033
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1035
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1040
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1041
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1042
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1043
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1044
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1045
(John Arbash Meinel)
1047
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1048
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1051
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1052
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1053
(John Arbash Meinel)
1055
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1056
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1057
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1058
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1059
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1060
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1062
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1063
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1064
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1066
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1067
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1068
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1069
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1071
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1073
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1074
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1075
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1076
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1078
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1079
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1080
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1081
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1083
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1084
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1085
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1087
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1088
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1089
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1091
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1092
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1093
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1094
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1096
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1097
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1098
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1100
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1101
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1102
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1104
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1105
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1106
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1107
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1108
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1109
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1110
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1111
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1112
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1113
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1114
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1118
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1119
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1120
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1122
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1125
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1126
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1127
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1128
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1130
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1131
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1134
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1135
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1137
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1139
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1140
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1141
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1143
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1144
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1146
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1149
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1152
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1153
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1155
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1157
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1158
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1162
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1163
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1170
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1175
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1176
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1178
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1179
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1180
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1183
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1187
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1188
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1189
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1190
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1192
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1195
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1196
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1197
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1199
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1200
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1202
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1205
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1206
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1207
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1208
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1209
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1210
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1212
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1213
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1214
should enable you to do::
1216
[/home/user/project]
1217
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1218
push_location:policy = appendpath
1220
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1221
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1224
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1225
for each file. For example::
1227
$ bzr status --short
1233
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1234
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1236
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1238
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1239
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1241
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1245
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1246
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1247
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1248
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1250
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1251
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1252
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1254
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1256
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1257
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1258
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1259
(Alexander Belchenko)
1261
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1264
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1265
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1267
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1271
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1272
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1274
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1275
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1276
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1277
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1278
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1280
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1281
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1283
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1284
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1286
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1288
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1290
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1291
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1292
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1293
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1294
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1296
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1297
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1298
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1299
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1301
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1302
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1304
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1305
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1307
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1308
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1310
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1311
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1316
No changes from 0.13rc1
1318
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1322
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1324
(Daniel Silverstone)
1326
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1327
operations are substantially faster.
1328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1330
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1331
tree from some other url. For example:
1332
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1333
(Daniel Silverstone)
1335
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1336
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1337
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1338
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1340
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1343
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1344
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1345
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1346
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1347
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1348
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1352
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1353
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1356
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1357
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1358
(John Arbash Meinel)
1360
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1361
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1362
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1363
(John Arbash Meinel)
1365
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1366
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1368
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1369
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1371
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1372
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1377
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1378
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1379
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1381
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1382
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1383
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1384
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1386
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1388
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1389
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1391
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1392
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1393
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1394
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1396
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1397
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1398
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1400
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1401
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1402
them as full references rather than integers.
1403
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1405
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1406
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1408
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1410
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1411
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1413
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1414
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1416
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1417
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1418
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1419
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1421
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1422
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1423
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1425
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1426
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1428
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1429
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1430
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1431
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1432
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1436
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1437
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1443
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1444
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1445
(John Arbash Meinel)
1447
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1451
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1452
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1453
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1454
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1456
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1457
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1459
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1461
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1462
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1463
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1464
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1466
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1467
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1468
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1469
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1470
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1472
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1474
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1475
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1479
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1480
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1481
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1483
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1484
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1485
(John Arbash Meinel)
1487
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1488
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1489
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1491
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1492
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1495
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1496
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1497
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1499
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1500
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1501
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1502
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1503
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1504
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1506
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1507
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1508
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1511
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1512
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1516
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1517
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1518
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1521
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1522
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1524
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1525
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1526
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1528
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1529
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1531
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1532
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1533
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1534
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1536
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1537
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1539
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1540
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1541
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1543
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1544
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1546
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1548
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1549
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1554
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1555
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1556
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1557
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1559
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1560
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1561
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1565
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1567
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1571
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1573
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1576
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1580
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1581
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1582
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1583
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1584
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1585
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1586
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1588
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1589
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1590
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1592
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1594
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1595
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1597
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1598
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1599
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1602
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1603
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1604
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1605
(John Arbash Meinel)
1607
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1608
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1609
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1610
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1613
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1614
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1615
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1616
(John Arbash Meinel)
1620
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1621
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1623
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1625
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1626
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1627
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1629
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1630
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1632
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1633
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1635
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1636
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1638
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1639
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1641
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1643
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1644
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1646
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1647
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1649
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1650
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1652
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1653
(John Arbash Meinel)
1655
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1656
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1657
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1659
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1660
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1662
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1663
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1664
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1665
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1667
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1668
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1669
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1671
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1672
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1676
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1680
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1681
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1682
(John Arbash Meinel)
1684
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1685
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1686
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1687
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1689
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1692
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1693
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1694
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1696
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1697
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1699
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1700
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1701
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1703
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1704
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1705
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1706
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1707
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1708
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1709
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1710
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1711
caller to repeat their request.
1712
(John Arbash Meinel)
1714
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1715
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1717
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1718
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1720
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1721
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1722
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1723
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1724
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1725
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1726
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1728
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1729
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1730
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1731
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1732
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1733
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1734
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1735
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1738
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1739
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1740
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1742
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1743
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1745
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1746
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1748
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1749
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1753
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1754
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1756
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1757
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1758
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1760
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1761
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1762
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1767
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1768
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1770
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1771
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1772
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1773
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1774
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1776
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1777
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1778
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1780
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1781
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1783
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1784
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1785
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1789
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1791
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1792
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1793
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1795
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1797
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1799
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1800
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1801
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1802
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1804
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1805
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1806
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1807
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1808
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1810
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1811
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1813
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1814
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1816
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1817
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1819
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1820
in handling of revision properties.
1821
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1823
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1824
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1828
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1829
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1830
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1831
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1832
(John Arbash Meinel)
1834
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1835
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1836
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1838
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1842
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1843
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1844
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1845
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1846
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1847
a more conservative list than the old default.
1848
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1849
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1850
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1851
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1853
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1854
to more locations than just branch locations.
1859
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1860
revno:N:branch. For example,
1861
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1862
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1864
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1865
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1866
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1867
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1868
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1869
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1870
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1871
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1874
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1875
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1876
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1879
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1880
(Alexander Belchenko)
1882
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1884
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1887
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1888
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1889
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1890
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1891
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1892
(John Arbash Meinel)
1894
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1895
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1896
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1897
grained analysis of performance.
1898
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1900
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1901
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1903
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1904
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1905
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1906
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1907
file. (Robert Collins).
1909
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1910
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1911
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1913
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1914
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1917
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1918
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1920
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1921
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1922
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1923
the same way you would apply another branch.
1924
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1926
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1927
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1929
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1932
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1935
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1936
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1937
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1939
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1940
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1941
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1943
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1944
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1946
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1947
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1948
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1949
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1950
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1952
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1953
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1955
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1956
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1957
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1958
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1959
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1960
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1961
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1962
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1964
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1965
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1966
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1970
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1972
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1974
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1975
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1977
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1978
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1980
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1981
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1983
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1985
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1986
(John Arbash Meinel)
1988
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1989
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1991
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1992
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1995
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1996
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1998
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1999
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2001
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2002
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2003
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2004
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2006
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2007
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2009
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2011
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2012
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2014
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2016
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2018
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2019
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2021
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2022
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2024
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2025
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2026
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2028
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2029
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2030
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2032
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2033
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2035
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2036
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2038
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2039
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2041
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2042
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2044
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2045
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2047
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2048
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2049
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2051
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2053
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2054
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2058
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2059
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2060
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2062
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2063
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2065
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2066
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2067
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2069
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2070
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2072
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2073
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2076
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2077
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2078
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2080
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2081
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2082
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2084
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2085
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2086
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2088
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2089
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2090
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2092
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2093
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2094
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2096
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2097
instead. (Robert Collins)
2099
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2101
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2105
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2107
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2111
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2112
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2114
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2115
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2117
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2118
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2119
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2123
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2125
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2126
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2128
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2132
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2133
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2134
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2135
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2139
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2140
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2141
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2145
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2146
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2147
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2151
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2152
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2156
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2158
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2159
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2160
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2161
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2162
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2163
will keep the same format.
2165
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2166
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2167
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2168
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2169
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2171
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2172
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2173
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2174
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2175
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2176
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2177
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2179
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2180
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2181
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2182
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2183
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2185
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2186
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2187
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2193
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2194
convention. Paths now take the form::
2196
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2198
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2200
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2201
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2203
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2204
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2205
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2207
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2208
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2209
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2210
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2212
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2213
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2214
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2216
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2218
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2220
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2221
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2224
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2225
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2228
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2230
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2231
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2232
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2235
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2237
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2239
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2242
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2243
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2245
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2246
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2249
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2250
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2253
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2255
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2257
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2258
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2260
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2261
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2262
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2263
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2264
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2265
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2267
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2269
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2270
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2273
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2274
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2276
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2277
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2279
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2281
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2282
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2283
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2284
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2285
specification by Martin Pool.
2286
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2288
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2291
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2292
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2294
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2295
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2296
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2298
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2300
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2301
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2306
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2307
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2309
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2311
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2313
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2316
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2317
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2318
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2319
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2323
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2324
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2325
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2326
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2328
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2329
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2330
tried. (Martin Pool)
2332
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2335
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2337
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2338
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2339
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2341
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2342
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2344
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2345
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2346
paths. (Robert Collins)
2348
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2349
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2350
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2352
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2353
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2354
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2356
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2357
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2358
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2360
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2363
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2366
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2368
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2370
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2371
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2372
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2375
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2376
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2378
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2379
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2380
check. (Robert Collins)
2382
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2383
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2387
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2388
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2390
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2391
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2392
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2393
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2395
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2396
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2397
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2398
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2399
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2401
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2402
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2403
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2405
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2407
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2408
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2414
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2415
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2417
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2418
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2419
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2422
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2423
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2425
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2426
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2427
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2428
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2429
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2431
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2432
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2433
used. (Robert Collins)
2435
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2436
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2439
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2440
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2441
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2443
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2446
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2447
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2451
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2452
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2454
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2456
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2458
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2459
tree. (Robert Collins)
2461
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2462
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2463
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2466
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2469
* Tweaks to short log printing
2471
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2474
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2475
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2477
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2478
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2480
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2481
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2483
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2484
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2485
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2487
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2488
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2490
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2491
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2494
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2495
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2497
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2498
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2500
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2501
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2503
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2506
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2507
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2509
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2510
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2512
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2513
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2514
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2518
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2520
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2522
* Error when run with -OO
2524
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2527
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2529
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2531
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2532
ignored by diff and status
2534
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2535
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2537
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2539
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2541
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2542
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2544
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2545
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2547
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2550
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2551
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2553
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2555
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2556
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2558
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2561
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2562
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2564
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2568
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2569
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2571
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2573
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2575
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2577
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2578
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2579
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2581
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2583
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2584
(John Arbash Meinel)
2586
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2588
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2589
If adding a new test script please add that to
2590
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2592
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2593
imported. (Martin Pool)
2595
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2596
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2597
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2598
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2599
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2602
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2603
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2604
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2606
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2607
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2608
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2610
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2611
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2612
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2613
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2614
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2617
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2618
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2623
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2624
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2626
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2627
function. (Robert Collins)
2629
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2630
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2631
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2633
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2634
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2637
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2638
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2639
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2640
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2641
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2642
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2643
version. (Robert Collins)
2645
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2646
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2648
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2649
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2650
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2651
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2652
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2653
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2655
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2658
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2668
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2670
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2672
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2675
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2676
query method. (Robert Collins)
2678
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2681
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2684
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2687
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2688
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2689
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2690
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2692
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2693
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2694
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2695
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2697
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2698
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2704
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2707
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2711
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2712
a separator, not ':'.
2715
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2716
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2717
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2719
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2720
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2723
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2724
has been added that suppresses all output.
2726
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2729
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2730
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2732
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2733
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2735
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2736
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2738
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2739
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2740
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2741
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2743
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2745
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2746
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2748
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2749
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2751
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2752
output directory, if one was supplied.
2754
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2755
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2756
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2757
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2759
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2761
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2762
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2764
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2765
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2766
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2768
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2769
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2771
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2774
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2776
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2780
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2781
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2782
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2784
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2785
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2786
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2788
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2789
is given. (Martin Pool)
2791
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2792
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2793
file. (Robert Collins)
2795
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2800
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2801
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2802
representation. (Martin Pool).
2804
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2805
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2806
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2808
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2811
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2812
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2815
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2816
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2817
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2818
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2819
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2821
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2822
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2823
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2824
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2825
python path. (Robert Collins)
2827
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2828
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2829
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2830
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2832
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2833
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2835
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2836
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2839
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2840
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2841
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2843
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2844
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2845
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2847
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2848
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2850
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2851
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2852
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2855
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2856
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2857
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2858
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2861
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2864
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2865
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2868
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2869
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2870
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2872
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2873
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2874
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2876
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2877
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2878
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2880
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2881
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2883
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2884
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2885
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2886
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2887
caller. (Robert Collins)
2889
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2890
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2893
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2894
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2897
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2899
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2900
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2904
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2905
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2907
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2908
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2911
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2915
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2916
allow directories to be listed.
2918
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2919
upgrading branch format.
2923
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2930
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2931
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2932
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2933
high-latency connections.
2937
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2940
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2941
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2943
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2944
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2945
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2946
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2948
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2949
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2951
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2952
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2954
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2955
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2956
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2958
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2959
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2960
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2963
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2964
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2966
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2967
different partial views of history.
2969
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2970
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2974
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2975
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2976
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2978
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2979
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2982
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2983
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2985
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2988
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2989
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2991
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2992
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2993
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2994
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2996
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2998
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2999
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3002
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3003
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3005
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3006
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3007
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3012
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3013
for your viewing pleasure.
3015
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3016
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3018
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3019
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3020
handling of such circumstances.
3022
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3023
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3024
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3026
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3028
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3029
we call them revisions not patches.
3031
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3032
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3034
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3035
giving the revision *of that file*.
3037
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3038
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3039
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3043
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3044
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3046
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3047
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3050
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3054
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3056
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3059
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3061
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3063
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3064
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3068
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3069
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3071
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3072
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3073
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3074
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3077
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3078
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3082
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3084
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3085
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3088
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3092
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3093
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3094
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3095
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3098
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3101
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3102
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3103
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3104
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3105
for the operating system is still tried.
3107
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3108
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3109
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3114
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3118
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3120
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3123
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3129
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3131
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3134
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3138
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3139
help with intelligent shell completion.
3141
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3146
* Much better merge support.
3148
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3149
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3155
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3156
mention revisions that are not present.
3158
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3160
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3162
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3163
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3168
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3170
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3171
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3177
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3178
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3183
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3187
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3188
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3190
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3192
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3193
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3195
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3198
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3200
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3203
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3204
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3206
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3207
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3208
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3213
* Faster working tree operations.
3218
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3219
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3220
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3221
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3223
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3224
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3225
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3226
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3227
standard plugins directory.
3229
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3230
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3231
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3232
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3234
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3235
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3237
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3240
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3241
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3242
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3244
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3245
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3247
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3248
line options must come before the command name because they
3249
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3250
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3253
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3255
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3256
is available with ``--short``.
3261
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3264
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3268
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3269
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3271
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3272
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3273
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3274
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3276
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3277
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3278
with the ``--forward`` option.
3280
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3281
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3287
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3288
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3290
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3292
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3293
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3295
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3297
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3298
either read or write mode.
3300
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3302
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3305
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3307
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3308
suggested by LarstiQ.
3310
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3311
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3313
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3316
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3317
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3319
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3320
haven't changed since the previous time.
3322
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3323
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3325
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3327
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3329
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3330
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3332
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3333
options through to an external GNU diff.
3335
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3338
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3344
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3345
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3347
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3353
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3354
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3357
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3358
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3360
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3361
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3363
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3364
under a different version.
3366
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3371
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3373
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3374
Scott James Remnant.
3376
* Better help messages for many commands.
3378
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3379
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3381
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3382
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3384
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3386
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3388
* New AtomicFile class.
3390
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3395
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3396
2.4 is now only recommended.
3399
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3403
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3404
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3406
* More default ignore patterns.
3408
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3409
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3411
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3413
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3416
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3421
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3422
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3423
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3424
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3425
there are DNS problems.
3427
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3432
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3434
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3436
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3437
trailing newlines properly.
3442
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3445
* More tests in test.sh.
3447
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3448
directory and delete it when done.
3450
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3455
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3458
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3462
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3466
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3469
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3471
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3474
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3477
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3479
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3483
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3484
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3489
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3490
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3495
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3499
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3506
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
3509
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3513
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3515
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3516
rather than replacing it.
3518
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3522
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3525
