5
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
7
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
12
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
13
change, if it's different from the committer. (Lukáš Lalinský)
17
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
18
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
22
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
25
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
30
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
31
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
35
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
36
previous release. (Martin Pool)
38
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
42
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
43
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
44
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
45
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
46
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
48
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
49
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
51
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
53
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
55
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
56
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
59
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
60
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
63
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
66
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
67
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
69
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
70
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
72
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
73
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
75
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
76
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
78
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
79
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
81
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
86
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
87
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
89
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
90
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
92
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
93
the repository (Robert Collins)
95
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
96
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
97
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
98
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
99
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
101
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
102
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
104
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
105
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
108
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
109
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
110
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
112
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
113
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
114
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
117
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
118
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
121
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
122
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
124
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
127
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
129
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
131
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
132
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
134
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
135
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
138
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
139
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
140
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
141
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
143
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
144
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
145
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
147
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
148
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
149
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
151
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
152
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
154
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
155
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
156
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
157
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
158
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
159
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
162
* HTML documentation now use files extension *.html (Alexander Belchenko)
164
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
165
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
167
* ``bzr selftest --strict'' fails if there are any missing features or
168
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
170
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
172
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
173
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
177
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
178
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
179
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
180
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
182
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
184
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
187
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
188
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
189
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
190
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
191
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
192
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
196
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
197
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
198
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
199
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
201
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
202
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
203
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
204
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
205
tests have been refactored too.
208
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
209
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
210
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
214
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
215
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
216
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
218
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
219
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
220
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
221
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
222
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
223
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
224
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
226
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
227
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
228
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
229
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
232
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
233
functionality for testing.
235
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
237
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
238
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
240
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
242
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
245
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
246
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
248
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
249
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
250
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
252
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
255
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
256
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
258
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
259
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
260
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
261
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
263
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
264
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
266
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
267
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
268
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
270
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
273
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
274
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
275
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
276
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
277
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
278
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
280
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
281
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
282
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
283
many files. (Robert Collins)
285
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
286
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
287
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
288
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
292
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
293
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
294
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
296
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
297
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
299
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
300
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
301
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
308
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
311
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
315
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
316
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
318
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
319
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
320
(James Westby, #122656)
322
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
323
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
325
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
326
authentication header.
327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
329
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
331
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
332
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
334
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
336
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
337
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
339
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
340
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
343
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
344
individually and as part of revision ranges.
347
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
348
(Martin Pool, #109169)
350
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
351
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
353
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
354
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
356
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
358
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
362
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
363
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
364
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
365
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
366
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
367
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
369
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
370
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
371
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
373
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
376
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
377
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
379
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
380
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
382
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
383
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
385
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
386
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
387
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
388
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
389
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
391
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
392
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
394
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
395
can be slow it is useful feedback).
396
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
398
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
399
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
401
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
403
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
404
output. (Aaron Bentley)
406
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
407
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
410
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
413
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
414
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
416
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
417
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
419
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
420
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
422
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
424
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
425
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
427
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
433
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
434
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
435
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
436
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
437
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
438
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
439
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
440
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
441
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
442
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
443
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
444
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
445
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
446
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
447
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
448
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
449
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
452
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
454
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
455
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
456
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
458
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
459
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
461
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
462
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
464
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
466
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
467
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
468
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
469
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
470
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
471
same location. (Robert Collins)
475
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
477
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
479
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
481
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
484
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
487
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
488
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
489
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
491
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
493
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
494
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
495
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
497
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
498
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
500
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
501
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
502
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
504
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
505
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
506
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
508
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
509
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
510
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
512
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
513
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
516
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
517
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
519
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
520
(Alexander Belchenko)
524
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
525
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
526
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
527
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
529
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
530
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
531
testing. (Robert Collins)
533
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
534
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
536
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
537
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
538
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
539
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
540
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
541
attribute during the test parameterisation in
542
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
544
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
545
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
546
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
547
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
549
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
550
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
552
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
553
avoid useless cloning.
554
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
561
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
562
(Colin Watson, #120647)
564
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
565

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
572
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
573
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
574
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
575
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
576
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
577
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
578
and unlock() like so::
580
work_tree.lock_read()
582
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
587
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
588
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
590
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
591
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
592
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
594
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
595
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
596
too. (Robert Collins)
600
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
601
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
604
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
607
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
608
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
610
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
611
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
612
understanding what changes have occurred
613
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
615
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
616
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
617
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
619
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
620
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
621
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
622
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
624
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
629
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
630
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
631
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
632
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
633
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
635
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
636
based on split paths, not just string paths.
637
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
639
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
642
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
644
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
646
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
647
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
649
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
650
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
652
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
653
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
655
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
656
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
658
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
659
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
661
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
662
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
663
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
669
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
670
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
671
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
672
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
673
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
675
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
676
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
677
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
679
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
680
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
684
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
685
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
686
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
688
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
689
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
690
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
691
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
693
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
697
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
698
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
699
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
700
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
702
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
703
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
704
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
706
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
707
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
709
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
710
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
712
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
713
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
715
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
717
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
719
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
720
it could be recovered again.
721
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
722
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
723
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
725
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
727
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
728
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
732
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
733
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
735
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
736
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
737
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
738
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
740
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
741
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
743
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
744
tests with names that match that regular expression.
745
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
747
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
748
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
749
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
751
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
752
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
753
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
755
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
756
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
759
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
762
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
763
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
764
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
765
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
767
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
770
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
771
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
772
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
775
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
776
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
778
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
779
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
781
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
782
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
783
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
784
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
787
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
788
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
790
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
791
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
793
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
794
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
795
(Robert Collins, #107125).
797
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
798
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
799
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
801
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
802
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
803
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
805
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
806
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
807
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
808
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
810
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
811
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
812
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
813
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
815
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
816
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
817
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
818
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
819
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
820
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
821
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
822
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
828
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
829
code paths. (Robert Collins)
831
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
832
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
833
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
834
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
835
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
837
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
838
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
840
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
841
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
843
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
844
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
846
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
847
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
849
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
850
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
851
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
854
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
855
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
856
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
857
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
858
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
861
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
862
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
863
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
865
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
866
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
869
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
870
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
871
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
874
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
875
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
876
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
877
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
878
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
880
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
881
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
882
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
883
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
885
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
886
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
888
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
889
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
890
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
891
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
892
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
893
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
895
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
896
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
898
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
899
help. (Robert Collins)
901
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
902
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
904
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
905
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
906
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
907
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
910
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
911
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
912
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
913
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
914
useful. (Robert Collins)
916
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
921
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
922
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
924
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
925
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
927
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
928
properly and is no longer beneficial.
929
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
931
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
934
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
935
the file, and does it faster.
936
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
938
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
939
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
940
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
942
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
943
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
944
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
945
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
947
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
948
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
949
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
950
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
952
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
953
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
955
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
956
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
957
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
958
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
961
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
963
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
964
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
966
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
967
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
969
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
970
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
971
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
972
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
976
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
981
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
982
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
983
in running it. (Robert Collins)
985
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
986
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
988
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
989
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
990
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
991
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
992
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
993
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
994
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
995
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
997
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
998
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
999
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1001
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1002
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1003
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1004
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1005
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1007
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1009
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1010
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1011
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1013
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1014
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1021
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1024
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1025
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1028
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1032
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1033
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1038
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1039
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1040
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1041
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1042
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1043
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1044
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1045
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1050
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1051
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1052
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1054
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1055
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1058
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1059
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1060
(John Arbash Meinel)
1062
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1063
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1064
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1065
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1066
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1070
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1073
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1074
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1076
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1077
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1079
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1080
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1081
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1083
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1084
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1086
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1087
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1088
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1089
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1090
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1092
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1093
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1094
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1096
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1099
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1101
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1103
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1104
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1105
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1109
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1110
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1112
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1113
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1115
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1117
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1118
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1120
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1121
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1125
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1130
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1131
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1132
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1133
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1135
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1136
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1138
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1139
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1141
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1144
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1145
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1148
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1152
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1153
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1154
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1155
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1156
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1157
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1159
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1160
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1161
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1162
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1163
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1164
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1166
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1168
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1169
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1170
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1171
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1172
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1173
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1174
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1175
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1179
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1180
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1182
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1183
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1184
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1185
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1187
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1188
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1189
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1190
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1191
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1193
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1196
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1199
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1202
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1203
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1206
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1209
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1210
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1212
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1213
directory. (Martin Pool)
1215
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1216
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1217
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1218
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1220
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1221
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1222
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1223
in docs/configuration.txt.
1225
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1226
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1229
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1230
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1231
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1232
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1233
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1234
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1236
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1237
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1239
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1240
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1242
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1247
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1248
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1249
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1250
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1251
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1252
(John Arbash Meinel)
1254
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1255
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1258
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1259
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1260
(John Arbash Meinel)
1262
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1263
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1264
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1265
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1266
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1267
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1269
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1270
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1271
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1273
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1274
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1275
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1276
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1278
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1280
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1281
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1282
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1283
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1285
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1286
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1287
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1288
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1290
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1291
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1292
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1294
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1295
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1296
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1298
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1299
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1300
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1301
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1303
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1304
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1305
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1307
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1308
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1309
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1311
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1312
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1313
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1314
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1315
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1316
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1317
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1318
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1319
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1320
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1321
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1325
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1326
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1327
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1329
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1332
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1333
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1334
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1335
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1337
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1338
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1341
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1342
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1344
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1346
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1347
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1348
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1350
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1351
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1353
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1354
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1356
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1359
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1360
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1362
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1364
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1365
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1369
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1370
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1377
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1381
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1382
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1383
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1385
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1386
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1387
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1390
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1394
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1395
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1396
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1397
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1399
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1402
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1403
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1404
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1406
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1407
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1409
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1412
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1413
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1414
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1415
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1416
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1417
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1419
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1420
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1421
should enable you to do::
1423
[/home/user/project]
1424
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1425
push_location:policy = appendpath
1427
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1428
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1431
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1432
for each file. For example::
1434
$ bzr status --short
1440
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1441
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1443
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1445
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1446
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1448
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1452
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1453
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1454
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1455
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1457
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1458
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1459
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1461
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1463
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1464
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1465
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1466
(Alexander Belchenko)
1468
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1471
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1472
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1474
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1478
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1479
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1481
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1482
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1483
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1484
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1485
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1487
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1488
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1490
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1491
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1493
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1495
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1497
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1498
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1499
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1500
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1501
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1503
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1504
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1505
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1506
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1508
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1509
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1511
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1512
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1514
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1515
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1517
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1518
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1523
No changes from 0.13rc1
1525
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1529
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1531
(Daniel Silverstone)
1533
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1534
operations are substantially faster.
1535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1537
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1538
tree from some other url. For example:
1539
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1540
(Daniel Silverstone)
1542
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1543
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1544
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1545
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1547
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1550
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1551
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1552
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1553
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1554
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1555
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1559
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1560
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1563
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1564
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1565
(John Arbash Meinel)
1567
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1568
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1569
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1570
(John Arbash Meinel)
1572
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1573
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1575
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1576
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1578
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1579
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1584
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1585
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1586
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1588
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1589
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1590
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1591
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1593
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1595
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1596
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1598
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1599
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1600
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1601
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1603
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1604
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1605
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1607
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1608
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1609
them as full references rather than integers.
1610
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1612
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1613
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1615
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1617
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1618
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1620
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1621
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1623
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1624
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1625
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1626
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1628
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1629
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1630
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1632
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1633
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1635
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1636
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1637
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1638
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1639
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1643
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1644
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1650
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1651
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1652
(John Arbash Meinel)
1654
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1658
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1659
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1660
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1661
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1663
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1664
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1666
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1668
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1669
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1670
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1671
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1673
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1674
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1675
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1676
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1677
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1679
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1681
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1682
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1686
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1687
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1688
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1690
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1691
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1692
(John Arbash Meinel)
1694
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1695
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1696
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1698
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1699
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1702
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1703
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1704
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1706
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1707
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1708
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1709
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1710
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1711
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1713
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1714
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1715
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1718
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1719
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1723
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1724
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1725
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1728
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1729
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1731
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1732
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1733
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1735
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1736
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1738
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1739
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1740
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1741
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1743
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1744
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1746
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1747
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1748
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1750
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1751
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1753
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1755
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1756
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1761
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1762
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1763
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1764
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1766
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1767
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1768
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1772
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1774
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1778
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1780
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1783
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1787
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1788
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1789
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1790
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1791
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1792
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1793
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1795
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1796
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1797
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1799
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1801
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1802
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1804
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1805
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1806
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1809
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1810
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1811
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1812
(John Arbash Meinel)
1814
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1815
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1816
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1817
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1820
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1821
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1822
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1823
(John Arbash Meinel)
1827
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1828
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1830
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1832
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1833
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1834
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1836
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1837
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1839
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1840
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1842
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1845
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1846
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1848
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1850
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1851
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1853
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1854
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1856
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1857
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1859
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1860
(John Arbash Meinel)
1862
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1863
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1864
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1866
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1867
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1869
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1870
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1871
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1872
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1874
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1875
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1876
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1878
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1879
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1883
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1887
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1888
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1889
(John Arbash Meinel)
1891
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1892
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1893
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1894
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1896
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1899
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1900
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1901
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1903
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1904
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1906
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1907
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1908
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1910
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1911
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1912
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1913
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1914
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1915
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1916
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1917
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1918
caller to repeat their request.
1919
(John Arbash Meinel)
1921
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1922
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1924
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1925
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1927
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1928
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1929
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1930
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1931
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1932
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1933
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1935
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1936
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1937
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1938
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1939
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1940
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1941
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1942
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1945
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1946
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1947
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1949
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1950
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1952
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1953
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1955
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1956
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1960
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1961
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1963
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1964
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1965
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1967
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1968
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1969
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1974
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1975
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1977
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1978
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1979
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1980
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1981
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1983
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1984
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1985
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1987
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1988
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1990
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1991
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1992
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1996
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1998
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1999
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2000
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2002
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2004
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2006
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2007
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2008
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2009
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2011
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2012
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2013
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2014
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2015
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2017
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2018
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2020
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2021
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2023
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2024
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2026
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2027
in handling of revision properties.
2028
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2030
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2031
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2035
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2036
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2037
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2038
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2039
(John Arbash Meinel)
2041
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2042
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2043
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2045
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2049
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2050
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2051
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2052
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2053
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2054
a more conservative list than the old default.
2055
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2056
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2057
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2058
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2060
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2061
to more locations than just branch locations.
2066
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2067
revno:N:branch. For example,
2068
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2069
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2071
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2072
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2073
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2074
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2075
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2076
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2077
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2078
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2081
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2082
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2083
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2086
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2087
(Alexander Belchenko)
2089
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2091
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2094
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2095
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2096
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2097
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2098
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2099
(John Arbash Meinel)
2101
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2102
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2103
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2104
grained analysis of performance.
2105
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2107
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2108
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2110
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2111
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2112
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2113
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2114
file. (Robert Collins).
2116
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2117
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2118
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2120
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2121
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2124
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2125
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2127
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2128
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2129
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2130
the same way you would apply another branch.
2131
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2133
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2134
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2136
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2139
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2142
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2143
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2144
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2146
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2147
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2148
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2150
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2151
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2153
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2154
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2155
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2156
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2157
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2159
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2160
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2162
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2163
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2164
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2165
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2166
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2167
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2168
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2169
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2171
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2172
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2173
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2177
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2179
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2181
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2182
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2184
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2185
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2187
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2188
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2190
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2192
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2193
(John Arbash Meinel)
2195
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2196
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2198
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2199
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2202
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2203
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2205
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2206
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2208
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2209
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2210
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2211
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2213
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2214
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2216
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2218
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2219
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2221
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2223
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2225
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2226
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2228
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2229
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2231
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2232
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2233
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2235
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2236
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2237
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2239
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2240
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2242
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2243
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2245
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2246
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2248
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2249
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2251
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2252
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2254
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2255
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2256
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2258
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2260
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2261
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2265
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2266
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2267
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2269
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2270
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2272
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2273
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2274
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2276
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2277
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2279
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2280
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2283
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2284
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2285
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2287
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2288
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2289
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2291
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2292
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2293
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2295
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2296
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2297
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2299
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2300
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2301
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2303
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2304
instead. (Robert Collins)
2306
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2308
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2312
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2314
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2318
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2319
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2321
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2322
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2324
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2325
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2326
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2330
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2332
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2333
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2335
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2339
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2340
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2341
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2342
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2346
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2347
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2348
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2352
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2353
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2354
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2358
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2359
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2363
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2365
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2366
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2367
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2368
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2369
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2370
will keep the same format.
2372
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2373
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2374
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2375
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2376
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2378
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2379
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2380
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2381
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2382
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2383
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2384
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2386
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2387
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2388
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2389
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2390
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2392
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2393
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2394
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2400
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2401
convention. Paths now take the form::
2403
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2405
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2407
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2408
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2410
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2411
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2412
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2414
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2415
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2416
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2417
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2419
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2420
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2421
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2423
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2425
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2427
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2428
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2431
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2432
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2435
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2437
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2438
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2439
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2442
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2444
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2446
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2449
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2450
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2452
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2453
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2456
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2457
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2460
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2462
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2464
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2465
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2467
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2468
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2469
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2470
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2471
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2472
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2474
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2476
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2477
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2480
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2481
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2483
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2484
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2486
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2488
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2489
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2490
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2491
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2492
specification by Martin Pool.
2493
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2495
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2498
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2499
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2501
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2502
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2503
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2505
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2507
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2508
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2513
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2514
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2516
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2518
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2520
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2523
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2524
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2525
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2526
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2530
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2531
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2532
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2533
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2535
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2536
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2537
tried. (Martin Pool)
2539
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2542
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2544
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2545
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2546
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2548
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2549
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2551
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2552
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2553
paths. (Robert Collins)
2555
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2556
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2557
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2559
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2560
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2561
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2563
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2564
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2565
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2567
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2570
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2573
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2575
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2577
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2578
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2579
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2582
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2583
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2585
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2586
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2587
check. (Robert Collins)
2589
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2590
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2594
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2595
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2597
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2598
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2599
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2600
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2602
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2603
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2604
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2605
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2606
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2608
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2609
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2610
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2612
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2614
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2615
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2621
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2622
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2624
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2625
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2626
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2629
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2630
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2632
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2633
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2634
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2635
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2636
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2638
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2639
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2640
used. (Robert Collins)
2642
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2643
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2646
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2647
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2648
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2650
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2653
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2654
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2658
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2659
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2661
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2663
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2665
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2666
tree. (Robert Collins)
2668
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2669
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2670
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2673
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2676
* Tweaks to short log printing
2678
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2681
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2682
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2684
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2685
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2687
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2688
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2690
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2691
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2692
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2694
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2695
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2697
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2698
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2701
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2702
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2704
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2705
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2707
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2708
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2710
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2713
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2714
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2716
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2717
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2719
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2720
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2721
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2725
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2727
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2729
* Error when run with -OO
2731
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2734
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2736
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2738
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2739
ignored by diff and status
2741
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2742
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2744
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2746
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2748
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2749
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2751
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2752
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2754
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2757
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2758
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2760
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2762
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2763
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2765
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2768
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2769
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2771
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2775
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2776
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2778
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2780
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2782
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2784
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2785
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2786
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2788
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2790
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2791
(John Arbash Meinel)
2793
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2795
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2796
If adding a new test script please add that to
2797
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2799
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2800
imported. (Martin Pool)
2802
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2803
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2804
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2805
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2806
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2809
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2810
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2811
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2813
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2814
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2815
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2817
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2818
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2819
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2820
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2821
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2824
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2825
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2830
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2831
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2833
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2834
function. (Robert Collins)
2836
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2837
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2838
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2840
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2841
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2844
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2845
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2846
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2847
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2848
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2849
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2850
version. (Robert Collins)
2852
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2853
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2855
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2856
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2857
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2858
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2859
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2860
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2862
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2865
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2875
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2877
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2879
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2882
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2883
query method. (Robert Collins)
2885
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2888
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2891
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2894
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2895
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2896
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2897
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2899
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2900
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2901
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2902
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2904
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2905
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2911
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2914
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2918
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2919
a separator, not ':'.
2922
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2923
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2924
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2926
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2927
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2930
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2931
has been added that suppresses all output.
2933
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2936
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2937
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2939
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2940
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2942
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2943
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2945
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2946
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2947
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2948
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2950
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2952
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2953
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2955
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2956
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2958
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2959
output directory, if one was supplied.
2961
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2962
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2963
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2964
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2966
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2968
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2969
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2971
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2972
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2973
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2975
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2976
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2978
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2981
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2983
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2987
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2988
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2989
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2991
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2992
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2993
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2995
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2996
is given. (Martin Pool)
2998
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2999
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3000
file. (Robert Collins)
3002
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3007
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3008
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3009
representation. (Martin Pool).
3011
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3012
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3013
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3015
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3018
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3019
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3022
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3023
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3024
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3025
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3026
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3028
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3029
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3030
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3031
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3032
python path. (Robert Collins)
3034
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3035
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3036
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3037
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3039
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3040
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3042
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3043
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3046
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3047
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3048
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3050
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3051
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3052
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3054
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3055
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3057
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3058
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3059
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3062
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3063
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3064
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3065
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3068
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3071
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3072
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3075
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3076
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3077
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3079
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3080
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3081
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3083
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3084
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3085
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3087
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3088
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3090
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3091
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3092
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3093
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3094
caller. (Robert Collins)
3096
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3097
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3100
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3101
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3104
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3106
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3107
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3111
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3112
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3114
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3115
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3118
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3122
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3123
allow directories to be listed.
3125
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3126
upgrading branch format.
3130
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3137
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3138
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3139
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3140
high-latency connections.
3144
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3147
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3148
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3150
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3151
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3152
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3153
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3155
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3156
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3158
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3159
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3161
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3162
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3163
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3165
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3166
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3167
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3170
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3171
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3173
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3174
different partial views of history.
3176
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3177
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3181
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3182
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3183
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3185
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3186
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3189
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3190
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3192
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3195
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3196
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3198
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3199
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3200
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3201
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3203
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3205
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3206
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3209
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3210
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3212
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3213
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3214
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3219
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3220
for your viewing pleasure.
3222
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3223
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3225
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3226
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3227
handling of such circumstances.
3229
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3230
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3231
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3233
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3235
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3236
we call them revisions not patches.
3238
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3239
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3241
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3242
giving the revision *of that file*.
3244
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3245
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3246
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3250
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3251
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3253
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3254
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3257
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3261
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3263
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3266
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3268
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3270
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3271
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3275
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3276
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3278
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3279
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3280
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3281
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3284
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3285
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3289
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3291
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3292
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3295
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3299
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3300
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3301
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3302
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3305
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3308
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3309
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3310
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3311
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3312
for the operating system is still tried.
3314
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3315
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3316
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3321
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3325
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3327
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3330
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3336
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3338
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3341
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3345
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3346
help with intelligent shell completion.
3348
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3353
* Much better merge support.
3355
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3356
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3362
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3363
mention revisions that are not present.
3365
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3367
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3369
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3370
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3375
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3377
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3378
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3384
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3385
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3390
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3394
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3395
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3397
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3399
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3400
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3402
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3405
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3407
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3410
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3411
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3413
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3414
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3415
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3420
* Faster working tree operations.
3425
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3426
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3427
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3428
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3430
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3431
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3432
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3433
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3434
standard plugins directory.
3436
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3437
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3438
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3439
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3441
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3442
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3444
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3447
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3448
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3449
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3451
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3452
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3454
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3455
line options must come before the command name because they
3456
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3457
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3460
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3462
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3463
is available with ``--short``.
3468
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3471
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3475
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3476
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3478
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3479
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3480
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3481
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3483
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3484
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3485
with the ``--forward`` option.
3487
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3488
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3494
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3495
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3497
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3499
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3500
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3502
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3504
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3505
either read or write mode.
3507
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3509
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3512
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3514
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3515
suggested by LarstiQ.
3517
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3518
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3520
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3523
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3524
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3526
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3527
haven't changed since the previous time.
3529
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3530
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3532
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3534
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3536
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3537
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3539
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3540
options through to an external GNU diff.
3542
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3545
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3551
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3552
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3554
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3560
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3561
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3564
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3565
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3567
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3568
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3570
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3571
under a different version.
3573
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3578
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3580
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3581
Scott James Remnant.
3583
* Better help messages for many commands.
3585
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3586
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3588
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3589
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3591
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3593
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3595
* New AtomicFile class.
3597
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3602
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3603
2.4 is now only recommended.
3606
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3610
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3611
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3613
* More default ignore patterns.
3615
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3616
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3618
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3620
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3623
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3628
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3629
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3630
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3631
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3632
there are DNS problems.
3634
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3639
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3641
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3643
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3644
trailing newlines properly.
3649
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3652
* More tests in test.sh.
3654
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3655
directory and delete it when done.
3657
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3662
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3665
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3669
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3673
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3676
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3678
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3681
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3684
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3686
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3690
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3691
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3696
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3697
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3702
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3706
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3713
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
3716
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3720
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3722
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3723
rather than replacing it.
3725
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3729
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3732
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3733
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3735
* Performance improvements.
3737
* New global --profile option.
3739
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3740
the root directory only.
3743
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3747
* More information from info command.
3749
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3751
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3752
committing to stores.
3754
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3758
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3762
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3763
installation easier.
3765
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3769
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3773
* First public release.
3775
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
