5
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
11
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
12
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
14
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
16
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
18
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
19
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
22
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
23
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
26
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
29
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
30
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
32
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
33
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
35
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
36
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
38
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
39
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
41
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
42
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
44
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
49
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
50
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
52
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
53
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
55
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
56
the repository (Robert Collins)
58
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
59
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
60
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
61
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
62
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
64
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
65
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
67
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
68
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
71
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
72
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
73
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
75
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
76
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
77
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
80
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
81
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
84
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
85
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
87
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
90
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
91
more robust against email mangling. New `send` command replaces
92
`bundle-revisions` and `merge-directive`. (Aaron Bentley)
94
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
96
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
97
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
99
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
100
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
103
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
104
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
105
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
106
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
108
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
109
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
110
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
112
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
113
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
114
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
116
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
117
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
119
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
120
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
121
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
122
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
123
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
124
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
127
* HTML documentation now use files extension *.html (Alexander Belchenko)
129
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
130
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
132
* ``bzr selftest --strict'' fails if there are any missing features or
133
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
135
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
137
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
138
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
140
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
141
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
145
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
146
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
147
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
148
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
150
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
152
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
155
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
156
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
157
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
158
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
159
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
160
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
164
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
165
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
166
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
167
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
169
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
170
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
171
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
172
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
173
tests have been refactored too.
176
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
177
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
178
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
182
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
183
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
184
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
186
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
187
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
188
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
189
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
190
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
191
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
192
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
194
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
195
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
196
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
197
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
200
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
201
functionality for testing.
203
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
205
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
206
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
208
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
210
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
213
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
214
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
216
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
217
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
218
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
220
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
223
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
224
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
226
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
227
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
228
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
229
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
231
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
232
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
234
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
235
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
236
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
238
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
241
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
242
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
243
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
244
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
245
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
246
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
248
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
249
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
250
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
251
many files. (Robert Collins)
253
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
254
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
255
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
256
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
260
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
261
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
262
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
264
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
265
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
272
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
275
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
279
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
280
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
282
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
283
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
284
(James Westby, #122656)
286
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
287
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
289
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
290
authentication header.
291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
293
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
295
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
296
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
298
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
300
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
303
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
304
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
307
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
308
individually and as part of revision ranges.
311
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
312
(Martin Pool, #109169)
314
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
317
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
318
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
320
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
322
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
326
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
327
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
328
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
329
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
330
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
331
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
333
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
334
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
335
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
337
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
340
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
341
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
343
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
344
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
346
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
347
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
349
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
350
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
351
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
352
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
353
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
355
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
356
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
358
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
359
can be slow it is useful feedback).
360
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
362
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
363
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
365
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
367
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
368
output. (Aaron Bentley)
370
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
371
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
374
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
377
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
378
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
380
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
381
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
383
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
384
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
386
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
388
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
389
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
391
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
397
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
398
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
399
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
400
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
401
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
402
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
403
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
404
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
405
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
406
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
407
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
408
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
409
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
410
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
411
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
412
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
413
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
416
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
418
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
419
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
420
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
422
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
423
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
425
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
426
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
428
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
430
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
431
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
432
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
433
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
434
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
435
same location. (Robert Collins)
439
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
441
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
443
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
445
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
448
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
451
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
452
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
453
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
455
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
457
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
458
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
459
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
461
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
462
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
464
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
465
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
466
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
468
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
469
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
470
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
472
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
473
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
474
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
476
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
477
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
480
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
481
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
483
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
484
(Alexander Belchenko)
488
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
489
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
490
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
491
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
493
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
494
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
495
testing. (Robert Collins)
497
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
498
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
500
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
501
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
502
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
503
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
504
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
505
attribute during the test parameterisation in
506
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
508
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
509
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
510
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
511
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
513
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
514
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
516
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
517
avoid useless cloning.
518
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
525
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
526
(Colin Watson, #120647)
528
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

534
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
536
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
537
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
538
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
539
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
540
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
541
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
542
and unlock() like so::
544
work_tree.lock_read()
546
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
551
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
552
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
554
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
555
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
556
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
558
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
559
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
560
too. (Robert Collins)
564
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
565
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
568
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
571
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
572
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
574
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
575
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
576
understanding what changes have occurred
577
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
579
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
580
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
581
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
583
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
584
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
585
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
586
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
588
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
593
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
594
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
595
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
596
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
597
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
599
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
600
based on split paths, not just string paths.
601
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
603
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
606
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
610
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
611
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
613
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
614
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
616
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
617
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
619
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
620
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
622
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
623
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
625
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
626
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
627
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
633
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
634
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
635
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
636
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
637
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
639
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
640
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
641
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
643
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
644
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
648
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
649
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
650
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
652
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
653
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
654
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
655
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
657
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
661
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
662
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
663
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
664
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
666
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
667
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
668
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
670
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
671
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
673
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
674
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
676
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
677
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
679
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
681
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
683
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
684
it could be recovered again.
685
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
686
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
687
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
689
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
691
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
692
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
696
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
697
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
699
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
700
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
701
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
702
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
704
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
705
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
707
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
708
tests with names that match that regular expression.
709
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
711
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
712
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
713
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
715
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
716
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
717
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
719
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
720
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
723
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
726
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
727
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
728
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
729
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
731
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
734
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
735
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
736
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
739
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
740
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
742
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
743
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
745
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
746
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
747
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
748
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
751
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
752
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
754
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
755
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
757
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
758
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
759
(Robert Collins, #107125).
761
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
762
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
763
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
765
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
766
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
767
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
769
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
770
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
771
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
772
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
774
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
775
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
776
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
777
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
779
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
780
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
781
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
782
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
783
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
784
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
785
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
786
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
792
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
793
code paths. (Robert Collins)
795
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
796
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
797
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
798
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
799
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
801
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
802
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
804
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
805
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
807
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
808
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
810
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
811
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
813
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
814
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
815
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
818
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
819
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
820
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
821
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
822
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
825
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
826
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
827
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
829
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
830
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
833
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
834
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
835
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
838
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
839
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
840
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
841
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
842
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
844
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
845
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
846
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
847
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
849
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
850
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
852
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
853
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
854
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
855
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
856
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
857
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
859
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
860
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
862
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
863
help. (Robert Collins)
865
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
866
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
868
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
869
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
870
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
871
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
874
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
875
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
876
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
877
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
878
useful. (Robert Collins)
880
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
885
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
886
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
888
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
889
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
891
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
892
properly and is no longer beneficial.
893
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
895
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
898
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
899
the file, and does it faster.
900
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
902
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
903
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
904
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
906
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
907
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
908
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
909
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
911
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
912
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
913
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
914
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
916
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
917
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
919
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
920
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
921
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
922
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
925
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
927
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
928
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
930
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
931
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
933
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
934
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
935
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
936
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
940
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
941
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
945
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
946
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
947
in running it. (Robert Collins)
949
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
950
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
952
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
953
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
954
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
955
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
956
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
957
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
958
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
959
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
961
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
962
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
963
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
965
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
966
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
967
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
968
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
969
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
971
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
973
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
974
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
975
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
977
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
978
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
985
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
988
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
989
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
992
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
996
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
997
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1002
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1003
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1004
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1005
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1006
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1007
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1008
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1009
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1014
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1015
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1016
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1018
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1019
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1022
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1023
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1024
(John Arbash Meinel)
1026
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1027
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1028
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1029
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1030
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1034
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1037
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1038
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1040
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1041
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1043
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1044
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1045
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1047
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1048
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1050
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1051
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1052
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1053
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1054
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1056
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1057
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1058
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1060
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1063
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1065
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1067
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1068
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1069
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1073
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1074
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1076
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1077
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1079
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1081
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1082
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1084
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1085
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1089
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1094
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1095
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1096
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1097
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1099
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1100
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1102
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1103
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1105
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1108
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1109
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1112
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1116
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1117
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1118
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1119
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1120
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1121
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1123
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1124
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1125
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1126
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1127
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1128
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1130
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1132
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1133
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1134
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1135
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1136
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1137
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1138
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1139
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1143
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1144
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1146
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1147
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1148
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1149
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1151
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1152
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1153
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1154
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1155
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1157
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1160
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1163
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1166
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1167
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1170
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1173
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1174
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1176
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1177
directory. (Martin Pool)
1179
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1180
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1181
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1182
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1184
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1185
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1186
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1187
in docs/configuration.txt.
1189
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1190
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1193
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1194
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1195
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1196
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1197
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1198
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1200
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1201
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1203
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1204
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1206
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1211
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1212
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1213
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1214
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1215
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1216
(John Arbash Meinel)
1218
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1219
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1222
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1223
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1224
(John Arbash Meinel)
1226
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1227
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1228
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1229
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1230
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1231
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1233
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1234
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1235
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1237
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1238
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1239
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1240
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1242
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1244
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1245
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1246
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1247
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1249
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1250
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1251
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1252
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1254
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1255
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1256
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1258
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1259
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1260
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1262
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1263
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1264
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1265
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1267
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1268
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1269
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1271
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1272
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1273
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1275
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1276
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1277
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1278
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1279
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1280
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1281
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1282
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1283
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1284
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1285
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1289
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1290
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1291
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1293
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1296
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1297
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1298
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1299
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1301
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1302
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1305
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1306
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1308
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1310
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1311
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1312
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1314
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1315
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1317
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1320
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1321
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1323
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1324
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1326
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1328
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1329
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1333
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1334
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1341
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1345
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1346
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1347
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1349
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1350
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1351
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1354
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1358
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1359
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1360
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1361
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1363
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1366
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1367
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1368
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1370
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1371
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1373
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1376
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1377
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1378
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1379
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1380
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1381
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1383
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1384
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1385
should enable you to do::
1387
[/home/user/project]
1388
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1389
push_location:policy = appendpath
1391
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1392
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1395
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1396
for each file. For example::
1398
$ bzr status --short
1404
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1405
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1407
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1409
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1410
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1412
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1416
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1417
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1418
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1419
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1421
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1422
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1423
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1425
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1427
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1428
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1429
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1430
(Alexander Belchenko)
1432
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1435
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1436
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1438
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1442
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1443
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1445
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1446
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1447
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1448
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1449
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1451
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1452
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1454
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1455
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1457
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1459
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1461
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1462
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1463
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1464
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1465
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1467
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1468
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1469
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1470
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1472
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1473
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1475
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1476
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1478
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1479
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1481
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1482
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1487
No changes from 0.13rc1
1489
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1493
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1495
(Daniel Silverstone)
1497
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1498
operations are substantially faster.
1499
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1501
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1502
tree from some other url. For example:
1503
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1504
(Daniel Silverstone)
1506
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1507
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1508
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1509
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1511
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1514
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1515
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1516
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1517
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1518
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1519
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1523
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1524
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1527
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1528
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1529
(John Arbash Meinel)
1531
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1532
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1533
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1534
(John Arbash Meinel)
1536
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1537
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1539
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1540
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1542
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1543
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1548
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1549
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1550
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1552
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1553
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1554
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1555
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1557
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1559
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1560
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1562
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1563
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1564
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1565
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1567
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1568
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1569
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1571
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1572
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1573
them as full references rather than integers.
1574
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1576
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1577
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1579
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1581
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1582
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1584
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1585
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1587
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1588
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1589
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1590
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1592
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1593
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1594
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1596
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1597
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1599
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1600
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1601
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1602
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1603
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1607
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1608
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1614
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1615
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1616
(John Arbash Meinel)
1618
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1622
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1623
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1624
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1625
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1627
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1628
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1630
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1632
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1633
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1634
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1635
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1637
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1638
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1639
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1640
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1641
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1643
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1645
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1646
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1650
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1651
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1652
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1654
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1655
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1656
(John Arbash Meinel)
1658
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1659
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1660
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1662
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1663
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1666
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1667
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1668
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1670
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1671
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1672
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1673
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1674
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1675
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1677
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1678
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1679
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1682
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1683
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1687
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1688
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1689
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1692
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1693
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1695
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1696
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1697
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1699
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1700
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1702
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1703
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1704
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1705
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1707
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1708
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1710
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1711
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1712
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1714
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1715
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1717
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1719
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1720
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1725
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1726
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1727
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1728
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1730
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1731
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1732
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1736
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1738
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1742
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1744
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1747
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1751
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1752
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1753
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1754
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1755
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1756
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1757
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1759
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1760
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1761
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1763
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1765
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1766
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1768
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1769
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1770
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1773
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1774
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1775
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1776
(John Arbash Meinel)
1778
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1779
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1780
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1781
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1784
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1785
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1786
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1787
(John Arbash Meinel)
1791
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1792
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1794
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1796
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1797
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1798
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1800
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1801
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1803
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1804
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1806
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1807
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1809
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1810
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1812
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1814
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1815
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1817
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1818
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1820
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1821
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1823
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1824
(John Arbash Meinel)
1826
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1827
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1828
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1830
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1831
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1833
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1834
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1835
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1836
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1838
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1839
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1840
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1842
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1843
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1847
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1851
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1852
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1853
(John Arbash Meinel)
1855
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1856
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1857
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1858
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1860
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1863
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1864
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1865
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1867
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1868
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1870
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1871
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1872
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1874
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1875
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1876
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1877
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1878
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1879
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1880
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1881
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1882
caller to repeat their request.
1883
(John Arbash Meinel)
1885
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1886
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1888
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1889
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1891
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1892
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1893
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1894
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1895
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1896
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1897
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1899
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1900
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1901
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1902
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1903
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1904
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1905
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1906
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1909
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1910
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1911
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1913
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1914
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1916
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1917
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1919
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1920
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1924
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1925
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1927
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1928
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1929
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1931
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1932
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1933
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1938
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1939
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1941
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1942
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1943
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1944
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1945
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1947
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1948
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1949
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1951
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1952
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1954
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1955
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1956
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1960
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1962
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1963
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1964
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1966
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1968
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1970
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1971
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1972
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1973
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1975
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1976
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1977
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1978
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1979
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1981
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1982
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1984
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1985
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1987
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1988
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1990
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1991
in handling of revision properties.
1992
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1994
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1995
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1999
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2000
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2001
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2002
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2003
(John Arbash Meinel)
2005
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2006
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2007
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2009
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2013
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2014
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2015
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2016
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2017
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2018
a more conservative list than the old default.
2019
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2020
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2021
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2022
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2024
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2025
to more locations than just branch locations.
2030
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2031
revno:N:branch. For example,
2032
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2033
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2035
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2036
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2037
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2038
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2039
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2040
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2041
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2042
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2045
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2046
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2047
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2050
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2051
(Alexander Belchenko)
2053
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2055
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2058
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2059
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2060
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2061
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2062
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2063
(John Arbash Meinel)
2065
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2066
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2067
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2068
grained analysis of performance.
2069
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2071
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2072
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2074
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2075
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2076
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2077
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2078
file. (Robert Collins).
2080
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2081
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2082
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2084
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2085
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2088
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2089
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2091
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2092
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2093
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2094
the same way you would apply another branch.
2095
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2097
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2098
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2100
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2103
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2106
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2107
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2108
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2110
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2111
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2112
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2114
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2115
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2117
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2118
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2119
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2120
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2121
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2123
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2124
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2126
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2127
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2128
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2129
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2130
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2131
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2132
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2133
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2135
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2136
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2137
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2141
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2143
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2145
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2146
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2148
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2149
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2151
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2152
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2154
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2156
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2157
(John Arbash Meinel)
2159
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2160
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2162
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2163
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2166
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2167
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2169
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2170
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2172
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2173
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2174
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2175
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2177
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2178
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2180
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2182
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2183
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2185
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2187
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2189
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2190
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2192
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2193
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2195
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2196
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2197
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2199
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2200
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2201
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2203
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2204
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2206
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2207
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2209
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2210
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2212
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2213
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2215
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2216
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2218
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2219
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2220
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2222
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2224
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2225
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2229
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2230
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2231
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2233
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2234
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2236
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2237
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2238
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2240
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2241
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2243
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2244
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2247
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2248
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2249
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2251
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2252
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2253
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2255
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2256
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2257
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2259
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2260
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2261
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2263
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2264
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2265
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2267
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2268
instead. (Robert Collins)
2270
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2272
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2276
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2278
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2282
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2283
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2285
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2286
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2288
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2289
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2290
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2294
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2296
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2297
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2299
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2303
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2304
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2305
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2306
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2310
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2311
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2312
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2316
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2317
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2318
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2322
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2323
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2327
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2329
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2330
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2331
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2332
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2333
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2334
will keep the same format.
2336
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2337
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2338
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2339
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2340
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2342
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2343
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2344
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2345
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2346
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2347
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2348
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2350
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2351
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2352
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2353
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2354
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2356
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2357
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2358
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2364
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2365
convention. Paths now take the form::
2367
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2369
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2371
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2372
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2374
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2375
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2376
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2378
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2379
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2380
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2381
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2383
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2384
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2385
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2387
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2389
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2391
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2392
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2395
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2396
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2399
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2401
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2402
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2403
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2406
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2408
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2410
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2413
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2414
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2416
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2417
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2420
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2421
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2424
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2426
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2428
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2429
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2431
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2432
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2433
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2434
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2435
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2436
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2438
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2440
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2441
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2444
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2445
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2447
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2448
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2450
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2452
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2453
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2454
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2455
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2456
specification by Martin Pool.
2457
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2459
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2462
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2463
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2465
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2466
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2467
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2469
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2471
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2472
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2477
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2478
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2480
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2482
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2484
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2487
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2488
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2489
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2490
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2494
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2495
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2496
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2497
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2499
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2500
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2501
tried. (Martin Pool)
2503
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2506
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2508
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2509
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2510
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2512
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2513
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2515
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2516
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2517
paths. (Robert Collins)
2519
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2520
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2521
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2523
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2524
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2525
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2527
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2528
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2529
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2531
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2534
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2537
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2539
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2541
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2542
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2543
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2546
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2547
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2549
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2550
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2551
check. (Robert Collins)
2553
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2554
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2558
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2559
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2561
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2562
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2563
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2564
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2566
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2567
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2568
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2569
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2570
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2572
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2573
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2574
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2576
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2578
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2579
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2585
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2586
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2588
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2589
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2590
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2593
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2594
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2596
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2597
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2598
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2599
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2600
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2602
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2603
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2604
used. (Robert Collins)
2606
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2607
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2610
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2611
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2612
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2614
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2617
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2618
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2622
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2623
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2625
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2627
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2629
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2630
tree. (Robert Collins)
2632
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2633
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2634
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2637
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2640
* Tweaks to short log printing
2642
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2645
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2646
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2648
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2649
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2651
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2652
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2654
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2655
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2656
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2658
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2659
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2661
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2662
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2665
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2666
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2668
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2669
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2671
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2672
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2674
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2677
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2678
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2680
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2681
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2683
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2684
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2685
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2689
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2691
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2693
* Error when run with -OO
2695
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2698
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2700
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2702
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2703
ignored by diff and status
2705
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2706
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2708
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2710
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2712
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2713
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2715
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2716
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2718
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2721
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2722
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2724
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2726
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2727
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2729
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2732
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2733
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2735
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2739
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2740
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2742
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2744
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2746
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2748
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2749
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2750
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2752
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2754
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2755
(John Arbash Meinel)
2757
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2759
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2760
If adding a new test script please add that to
2761
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2763
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2764
imported. (Martin Pool)
2766
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2767
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2768
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2769
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2770
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2773
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2774
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2775
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2777
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2778
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2779
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2781
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2782
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2783
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2784
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2785
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2788
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2789
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2794
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2795
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2797
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2798
function. (Robert Collins)
2800
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2801
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2802
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2804
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2805
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2808
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2809
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2810
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2811
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2812
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2813
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2814
version. (Robert Collins)
2816
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2817
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2819
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2820
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2821
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2822
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2823
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2824
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2826
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2829
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2839
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2841
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2843
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2846
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2847
query method. (Robert Collins)
2849
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2852
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2855
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2858
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2859
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2860
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2861
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2863
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2864
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2865
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2866
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2868
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2869
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2875
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2878
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2882
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2883
a separator, not ':'.
2886
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2887
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2888
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2890
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2891
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2894
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2895
has been added that suppresses all output.
2897
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2900
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2901
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2903
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2904
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2906
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2907
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2909
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2910
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2911
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2912
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2914
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2916
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2917
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2919
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2920
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2922
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2923
output directory, if one was supplied.
2925
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2926
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2927
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2928
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2930
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2932
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2933
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2935
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2936
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2937
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2939
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2940
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2942
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2945
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2947
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2951
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2952
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2953
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2955
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2956
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2957
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2959
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2960
is given. (Martin Pool)
2962
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2963
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2964
file. (Robert Collins)
2966
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2971
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2972
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2973
representation. (Martin Pool).
2975
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2976
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2977
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2979
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2982
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2983
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2986
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2987
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2988
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2989
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2990
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2992
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2993
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2994
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2995
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2996
python path. (Robert Collins)
2998
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2999
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3000
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3001
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3003
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3004
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3006
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3007
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3010
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3011
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3012
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3014
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3015
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3016
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3018
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3019
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3021
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3022
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3023
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3026
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3027
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3028
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3029
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3032
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3035
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3036
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3039
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3040
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3041
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3043
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3044
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3045
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3047
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3048
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3049
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3051
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3052
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3054
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3055
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3056
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3057
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3058
caller. (Robert Collins)
3060
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3061
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3064
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3065
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3068
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3070
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3071
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3075
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3076
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3078
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3079
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3082
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3086
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3087
allow directories to be listed.
3089
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3090
upgrading branch format.
3094
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3101
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3102
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3103
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3104
high-latency connections.
3108
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3111
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3112
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3114
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3115
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3116
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3117
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3119
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3120
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3122
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3123
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3125
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3126
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3127
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3129
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3130
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3131
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3134
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3135
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3137
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3138
different partial views of history.
3140
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3141
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3145
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3146
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3147
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3149
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3150
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3153
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3154
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3156
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3159
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3160
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3162
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3163
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3164
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3165
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3167
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3169
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3170
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3173
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3174
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3176
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3177
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3178
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3183
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3184
for your viewing pleasure.
3186
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3187
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3189
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3190
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3191
handling of such circumstances.
3193
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3194
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3195
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3197
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3199
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3200
we call them revisions not patches.
3202
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3203
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3205
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3206
giving the revision *of that file*.
3208
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3209
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3210
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3214
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3215
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3217
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3218
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3221
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3225
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3227
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3230
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3232
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3234
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3235
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3239
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3240
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3242
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3243
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3244
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3245
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3248
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3249
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3253
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3255
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3256
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3259
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3263
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3264
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3265
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3266
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3269
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3272
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3273
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3274
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3275
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3276
for the operating system is still tried.
3278
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3279
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3280
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3285
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3289
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3291
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3294
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3300
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3302
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3305
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3309
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3310
help with intelligent shell completion.
3312
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3317
* Much better merge support.
3319
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3320
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3326
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3327
mention revisions that are not present.
3329
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3331
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3333
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3334
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3339
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3341
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3342
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3348
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3349
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3354
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3358
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3359
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3361
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3363
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3364
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3366
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3369
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3371
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3374
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3375
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3377
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3378
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3379
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3384
* Faster working tree operations.
3389
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3390
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3391
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3392
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3394
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3395
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3396
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3397
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3398
standard plugins directory.
3400
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3401
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3402
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3403
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3405
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3406
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3408
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3411
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3412
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3413
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3415
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3416
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3418
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3419
line options must come before the command name because they
3420
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3421
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3424
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3426
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3427
is available with ``--short``.
3432
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3435
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3439
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3440
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3442
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3443
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3444
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3445
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3447
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3448
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3449
with the ``--forward`` option.
3451
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3452
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3458
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3459
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3461
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3463
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3464
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3466
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3468
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3469
either read or write mode.
3471
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3473
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3476
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3478
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3479
suggested by LarstiQ.
3481
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3482
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3484
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3487
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3488
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3490
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3491
haven't changed since the previous time.
3493
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3494
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3496
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3498
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3500
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3501
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3503
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3504
options through to an external GNU diff.
3506
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3509
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3515
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3516
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3518
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3524
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3525
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3528
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3529
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3531
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3532
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3534
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3535
under a different version.
3537
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3542
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3544
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3545
Scott James Remnant.
3547
* Better help messages for many commands.
3549
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3550
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3552
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3553
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3555
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3557
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3559
* New AtomicFile class.
3561
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3566
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3567
2.4 is now only recommended.
3570
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3574
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3575
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3577
* More default ignore patterns.
3579
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3580
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3582
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3584
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3587
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3592
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3593
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3594
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3595
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3596
there are DNS problems.
3598
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3603
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3605

3607
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3608
trailing newlines properly.

3616
* More tests in test.sh.
3618

3619
directory and delete it when done.
3621
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3626
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3629
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3633
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3637

3645
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3648

3650
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3654
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3655
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3660
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3661
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3666
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3684

3687
rather than replacing it.
3689
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3693
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3696
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3697
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3699
* Performance improvements.
3701
* New global --profile option.
3703
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3704
the root directory only.
3707
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3711
* More information from info command.
3713

3716
committing to stores.
3718
