5
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6
change, if it's different from the committer. (Lukáš Lalinský)
10
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
13
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
18
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
19
previous release. (Martin Pool)
21
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
25
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
26
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
27
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
28
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
29
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
31
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
32
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
34
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
36
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
38
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
39
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
42
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
43
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
46
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
49
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
50
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
52
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
53
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
55
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
56
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
58
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
59
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
61
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
62
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
64
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
69
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
70
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
72
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
73
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
75
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
76
the repository (Robert Collins)
78
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
79
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
80
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
81
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
82
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
84
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
85
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
87
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
88
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
91
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
92
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
93
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
95
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
96
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
97
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
100
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
101
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
104
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
105
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
107
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
110
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
112
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
114
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
115
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
117
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
118
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
121
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
122
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
123
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
124
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
126
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
127
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
128
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
130
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
131
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
132
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
134
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
135
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
137
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
138
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
139
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
140
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
141
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
142
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
145
* HTML documentation now use files extension *.html (Alexander Belchenko)
147
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
148
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
150
* ``bzr selftest --strict'' fails if there are any missing features or
151
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
153
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
155
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
156
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
160
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
161
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
162
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
163
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
165
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
167
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
170
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
171
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
172
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
173
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
174
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
175
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
179
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
180
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
181
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
182
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
184
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
185
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
186
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
187
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
188
tests have been refactored too.
191
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
192
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
193
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
197
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
198
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
199
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
201
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
202
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
203
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
204
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
205
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
206
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
207
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
209
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
210
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
211
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
212
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
215
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
216
functionality for testing.
218
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
220
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
221
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
223
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
225
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
228
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
229
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
231
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
232
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
233
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
235
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
238
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
239
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
241
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
242
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
243
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
244
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
246
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
247
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
249
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
250
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
251
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
253
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
256
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
257
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
258
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
259
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
260
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
261
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
263
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
264
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
265
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
266
many files. (Robert Collins)
268
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
269
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
270
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
271
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
275
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
276
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
277
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
279
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
280
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
282
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
283
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
284
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
291
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
294
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
298
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
299
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
301
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
302
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
303
(James Westby, #122656)
305
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
306
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
308
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
309
authentication header.
310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
312
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
314
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
315
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
317
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
319
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
322
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
323
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
324
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
326
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
327
individually and as part of revision ranges.
330
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
331
(Martin Pool, #109169)
333
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
336
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
337
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
339
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
341
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
345
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
346
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
347
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
348
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
349
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
350
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
352
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
353
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
354
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
356
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
359
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
360
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
362
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
363
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
365
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
366
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
368
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
369
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
370
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
371
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
372
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
374
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
375
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
377
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
378
can be slow it is useful feedback).
379
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
381
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
382
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
384
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
386
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
387
output. (Aaron Bentley)
389
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
390
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
393
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
396
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
397
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
399
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
400
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
402
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
403
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
405
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
407
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
408
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
410
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
416
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
417
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
418
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
419
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
420
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
421
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
422
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
423
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.

``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
425
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
426
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
427
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
428
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
429
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
430
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
431
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
432
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
435
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
437
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
438
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
439
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
441
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
442
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
444
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
445
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
447
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
449
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
450
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
451
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
452
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
453
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
454
same location. (Robert Collins)
458
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
460
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
462
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
464
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
467
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
470
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
471
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
472
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
474
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
476
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
477
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
478
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
480
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
481
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
483
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
484
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
485
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
487
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
488
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
489
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
491
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
492
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
493
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
495
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
496
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
499
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
500
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
502
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
503
(Alexander Belchenko)
507
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
508
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
509
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
510
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
512
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
513
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
514
testing. (Robert Collins)
516
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
517
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
519
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
520
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
521
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
522
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
523
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
524
attribute during the test parameterisation in
525
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
527
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
528
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
529
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
530
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
532
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
533
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
535
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
536
avoid useless cloning.
537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
544
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
545
(Colin Watson, #120647)
547
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

553
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
555
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
556
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
557
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
558
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
559
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
560
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
561
and unlock() like so::
563
work_tree.lock_read()
565
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
570
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
571
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
573
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
574
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
575
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
577
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
578
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
579
too. (Robert Collins)
583
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
584
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
587
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
590
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
591
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
593
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
594
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
595
understanding what changes have occurred
596
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
598
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
599
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
600
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
602
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
603
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
604
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
605
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
607
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
612
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
613
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
614
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
615
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
616
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
618
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
619
based on split paths, not just string paths.
620
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
622
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
625
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
629
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
630
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
632
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
633
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
635
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
636
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
638
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
639
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
641
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
642
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
644
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
645
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
646
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
652
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
653
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
654
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
655
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
656
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
658
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
659
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
660
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
662
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
663
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
667
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
668
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
669
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
671
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
672
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
673
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
674
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
676
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
680
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
681
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
682
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
683
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
685
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
686
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
687
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
689
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
690
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
692
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
693
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
695
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
696
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
698
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
700
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
702
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
703
it could be recovered again.
704
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
705
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
706
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
708
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
710
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
711
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
715
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
716
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
718
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
719
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
720
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
721
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
723
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
724
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
726
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
727
tests with names that match that regular expression.
728
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
730
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
731
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
732
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
734
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
735
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
736
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
738
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
739
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
742
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
745
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
746
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
747
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
748
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
750
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
753
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
754
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
755
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
758
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
759
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
761
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
762
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
764
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
765
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
766
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
767
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
770
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
771
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
773
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
774
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
776
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
777
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
778
(Robert Collins, #107125).
780
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
781
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
782
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
784
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
785
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
786
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
788
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
789
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
790
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
791
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
793
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
794
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
795
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
796
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
798
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
799
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
800
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
801
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
802
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
803
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
804
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
805
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
811
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
812
code paths. (Robert Collins)
814
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
815
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
816
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
817
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
818
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
820
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
821
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
823
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
824
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
826
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
827
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
829
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
830
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
832
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
833
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
834
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
837
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
838
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
839
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
840
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
841
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
844
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
845
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
846
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
848
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
849
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
852
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
853
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
854
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
857
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
858
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
859
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
860
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
861
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
863
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
864
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
865
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
866
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
868
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
869
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
871
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
872
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
873
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
874
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
875
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
876
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
878
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
879
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
881
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
882
help. (Robert Collins)
884
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
885
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
887
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
888
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
889
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
890
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
893
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
894
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
895
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
896
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
897
useful. (Robert Collins)
899
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
904
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
905
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
907
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
908
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
910
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
911
properly and is no longer beneficial.
912
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
914
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
917
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
918
the file, and does it faster.
919
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
921
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
922
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
923
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
925
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
926
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
927
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
928
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
930
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
931
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
932
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
933
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
935
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
936
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
938
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
939
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
940
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
941
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
944
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
946
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
947
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
949
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
950
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
952
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
953
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
954
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
955
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
959
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
960
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
964
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
965
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
966
in running it. (Robert Collins)
968
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
969
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
971
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
972
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
973
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
974
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
975
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
976
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
977
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
978
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
980
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
981
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
982
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
984
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
985
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
986
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
987
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
988
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
990
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
992
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
993
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
994
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
996
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
997
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1004
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1007
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1008
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1011
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1015
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1016
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1021
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1022
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1023
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1024
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1025
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1026
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1027
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1028
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1033
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1034
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1035
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1037
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1038
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1041
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1042
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1043
(John Arbash Meinel)
1045
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1046
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1047
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1048
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1049
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1053
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1056
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1057
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1059
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1060
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1062
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1063
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1064
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1066
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1067
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1069
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1070
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1071
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1072
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1073
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1075
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1076
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1077
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1079
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1082
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1084
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1086
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1087
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1088
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1092
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1093
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1095
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1096
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1098
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1100
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1101
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1103
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1104
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1108
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1113
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1114
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1115
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1116
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1118
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1119
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1121
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1122
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1124
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1127
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1128
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1131
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1135
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1136
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1137
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1138
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1139
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1140
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1142
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1143
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1144
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1145
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1146
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1147
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1149
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1151
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1152
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1153
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1154
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1155
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1156
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1157
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1158
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1162
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1163
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1165
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1166
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1167
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1168
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1170
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1171
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1172
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1173
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1174
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1176
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1179
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1182
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1185
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1186
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1189
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1192
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1193
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1195
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1196
directory. (Martin Pool)
1198
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1199
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1200
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1201
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1203
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1204
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1205
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1206
in docs/configuration.txt.
1208
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1209
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1212
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1213
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1214
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1215
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1216
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1217
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1219
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1220
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1222
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1223
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1225
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1230
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1231
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1232
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1233
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1234
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1235
(John Arbash Meinel)
1237
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1238
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1241
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1242
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1243
(John Arbash Meinel)
1245
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1246
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1247
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1248
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1249
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1250
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1252
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1253
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1254
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1256
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1257
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1258
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1259
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1261
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1263
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1264
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1265
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1266
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1268
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1269
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1270
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1271
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1273
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1274
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1275
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1277
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1278
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1279
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1281
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1282
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1283
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1284
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1286
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1287
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1288
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1290
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1291
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1292
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1294
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1295
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1296
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1297
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1298
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1299
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1300
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1301
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1302
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1303
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1304
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1308
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1309
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1310
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1312
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1315
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1316
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1317
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1318
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1320
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1321
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1324
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1325
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1327
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1329
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1330
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1331
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1333
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1334
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1336
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1337
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1339
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1342
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1343
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1345
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1347
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1348
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1352
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1353
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1360
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1364
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1365
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1366
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1368
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1369
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1370
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1373
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1377
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1378
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1379
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1380
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1382
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1385
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1386
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1387
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1389
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1390
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1392
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1395
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1396
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1397
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1398
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1399
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1400
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1402
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1403
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1404
should enable you to do::
1406
[/home/user/project]
1407
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1408
push_location:policy = appendpath
1410
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1411
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1414
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1415
for each file. For example::
1417
$ bzr status --short
1423
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1424
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1426
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1428
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1429
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1431
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1435
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1436
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1437
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1438
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1440
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1441
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1442
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1444
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1446
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1447
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1448
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1449
(Alexander Belchenko)
1451
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1454
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1455
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1457
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1461
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1462
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1464
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1465
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1466
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1467
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1468
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1470
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1471
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1473
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1474
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1476
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1478
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1480
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1481
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1482
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1483
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1484
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1486
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1487
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1488
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1489
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1491
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1492
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1494
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1495
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1497
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1498
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1500
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1501
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1506
No changes from 0.13rc1
1508
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1512
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1514
(Daniel Silverstone)
1516
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1517
operations are substantially faster.
1518
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1520
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1521
tree from some other url. For example:
1522
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1523
(Daniel Silverstone)
1525
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1526
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1527
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1528
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1530
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1533
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1534
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1535
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1536
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1537
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1538
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1542
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1543
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1546
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1547
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1548
(John Arbash Meinel)
1550
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1551
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1552
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1553
(John Arbash Meinel)
1555
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1556
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1558
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1559
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1561
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1562
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1567
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1568
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1569
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1571
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1572
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1573
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1574
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1576
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1578
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1579
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1581
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1582
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1583
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1586
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1587
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1588
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1590
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1591
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1592
them as full references rather than integers.
1593
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1595
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1596
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1598
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1600
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1601
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1603
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1604
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1606
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1607
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1608
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1609
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1611
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1612
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1613
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1615
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1616
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1618
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1619
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1620
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1621
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1622
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1626
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1627
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1633
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1634
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1635
(John Arbash Meinel)
1637
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1641
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1642
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1643
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1644
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1646
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1647
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1649
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1651
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1652
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1653
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1654
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1656
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1657
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1658
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1659
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1660
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1662
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1664
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1665
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1669
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1670
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1671
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1673
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1674
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1675
(John Arbash Meinel)
1677
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1678
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1679
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1681
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1682
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1685
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1686
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1687
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1689
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1690
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1691
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1692
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1693
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1694
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1696
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1697
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1698
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1701
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1702
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1706
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1707
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1708
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1711
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1712
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1714
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1715
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1716
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1718
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1719
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1721
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1722
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1723
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1724
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1726
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1727
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1729
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1730
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1731
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1733
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1734
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1736
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1738
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1739
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1744
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1745
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1746
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1747
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1749
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1750
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1751
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1755
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1757
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1761
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1763
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1766
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1770
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1771
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1772
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1773
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1774
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1775
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1776
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1778
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1779
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1780
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1782
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1784
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1785
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1787
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1788
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1789
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1792
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1793
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1794
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1795
(John Arbash Meinel)
1797
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1798
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1799
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1800
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1803
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1804
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1805
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1806
(John Arbash Meinel)
1810
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1811
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1813
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1815
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1816
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1817
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1819
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1820
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1822
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1823
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1825
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1826
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1828
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1829
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1831
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1833
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1834
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1836
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1837
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1839
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1840
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1842
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1843
(John Arbash Meinel)
1845
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1846
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1847
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1849
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1850
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1852
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1853
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1854
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1855
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1857
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1858
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1859
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1861
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1862
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1866
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1870
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1871
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1872
(John Arbash Meinel)
1874
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1875
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1876
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1877
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1879
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1882
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1883
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1884
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1886
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1887
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1889
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1890
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1891
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1893
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1894
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1895
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1896
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1897
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1898
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1899
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1900
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1901
caller to repeat their request.
1902
(John Arbash Meinel)
1904
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1905
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1907
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1908
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1910
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1911
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1912
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1913
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1914
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1915
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1916
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1918
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1919
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1920
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1921
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1922
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1923
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1924
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1925
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1928
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1929
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1930
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1932
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1933
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1935
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1936
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1938
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1939
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1943
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1944
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1946
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1947
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1948
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1950
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1951
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1952
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1957
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1958
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1960
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1961
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1962
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1963
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1964
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1966
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1967
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1968
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1970
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1971
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1973
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1974
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1975
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1979
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1981
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1982
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1983
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1985
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1987
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1989
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1990
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1991
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1992
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1994
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1995
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1996
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1997
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1998
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2000
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2001
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2003
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2004
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2006
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2007
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2009
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2010
in handling of revision properties.
2011
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2013
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2014
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2018
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2019
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2020
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2021
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2022
(John Arbash Meinel)
2024
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2025
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2026
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2028
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2032
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2033
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2034
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2035
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2036
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2037
a more conservative list than the old default.
2038
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2039
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2040
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2041
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2043
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2044
to more locations than just branch locations.
2049
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2050
revno:N:branch. For example,
2051
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2052
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2054
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2055
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2056
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2057
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2058
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2059
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2060
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2061
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2064
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2065
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2066
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2069
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2070
(Alexander Belchenko)
2072
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2074
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2077
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2078
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2079
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2080
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2081
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2082
(John Arbash Meinel)
2084
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2085
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2086
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2087
grained analysis of performance.
2088
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2090
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2091
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2093
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2094
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2095
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2096
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2097
file. (Robert Collins).
2099
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2100
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2101
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2103
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2104
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2107
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2108
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2110
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2111
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2112
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2113
the same way you would apply another branch.
2114
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2116
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2117
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2119
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2122
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2125
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2126
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2127
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2129
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2130
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2131
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2133
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2134
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2136
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2137
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2138
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2139
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2140
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2142
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2143
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2145
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2146
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2147
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2148
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2149
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2150
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2151
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2152
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2154
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2155
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2156
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2160
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2162
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2164
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2165
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2167
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2168
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2170
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2171
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2173
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2175
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2176
(John Arbash Meinel)
2178
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2179
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2181
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2182
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2185
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2186
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2188
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2189
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2191
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2192
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2193
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2194
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2196
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2197
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2199
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2201
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2202
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2204
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2206
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2208
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2209
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2211
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2212
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2214
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2215
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2216
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2218
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2219
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2220
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2222
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2223
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2225
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2226
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2228
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2229
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2231
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2232
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2234
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2235
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2237
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2238
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2239
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2241
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2243
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2244
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2248
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2249
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2250
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2252
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2253
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2255
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2256
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2257
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2259
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2260
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2262
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2263
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2266
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2267
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2268
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2270
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2271
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2272
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2274
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2275
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2276
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2278
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2279
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2280
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2282
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2283
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2284
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2286
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2287
instead. (Robert Collins)
2289
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2291
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2295
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2297
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2301
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2302
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2304
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2305
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2307
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2308
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2309
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2313
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2315
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2316
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2318
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2322
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2323
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2324
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2325
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2329
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2330
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2331
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2335
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2336
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2337
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2341
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2342
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2346
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2348
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2349
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2350
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2351
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2352
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2353
will keep the same format.
2355
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2356
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2357
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2358
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2359
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2361
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2362
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2363
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2364
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2365
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2366
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2367
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2369
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2370
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2371
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2372
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2373
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2375
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2376
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2377
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2383
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2384
convention. Paths now take the form::
2386
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2388
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2390
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2391
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2393
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2394
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2395
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2397
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2398
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2399
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2400
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2402
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2403
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2404
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2406
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2408
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2410
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2411
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2414
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2415
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2418
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2420
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2421
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2422
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2425
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2427
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2429
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2432
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2433
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2435
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2436
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2439
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2440
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2443
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2445
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2447
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2448
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2450
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2451
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2452
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2453
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2454
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2455
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2457
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2459
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2460
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2463
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2464
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2466
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2467
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2469
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2471
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2472
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2473
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2474
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2475
specification by Martin Pool.
2476
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2478
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2481
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2482
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2484
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2485
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2486
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2488
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2490
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2491
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2496
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2497
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2499
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2501
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2503
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2506
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2507
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2508
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2509
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2513
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2514
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2515
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2516
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2518
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2519
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2520
tried. (Martin Pool)
2522
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2525
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2527
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2528
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2529
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2531
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2532
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2534
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2535
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2536
paths. (Robert Collins)
2538
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2539
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2540
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2542
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2543
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2544
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2546
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2547
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2548
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2550
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2553
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2556
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2558
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2560
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2561
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2562
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2565
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2566
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2568
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2569
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2570
check. (Robert Collins)
2572
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2573
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2577
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2578
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2580
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2581
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2582
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2583
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2585
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2586
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2587
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2588
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2589
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2591
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2592
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2593
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2595
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2597
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2598
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2604
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2605
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2607
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2608
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2609
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2612
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2613
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2615
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2616
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2617
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2618
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2619
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2621
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2622
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2623
used. (Robert Collins)
2625
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2626
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2629
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2630
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2631
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2633
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2636
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2637
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2641
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2642
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2644
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2646
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2648
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2649
tree. (Robert Collins)
2651
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2652
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2653
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2656
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2659
* Tweaks to short log printing
2661
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2664
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2665
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2667
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2668
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2670
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2671
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2673
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2674
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2675
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2677
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2678
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2680
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2681
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2684
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2685
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2687
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2688
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2690
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2691
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2693
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2696
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2697
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2699
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2700
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2702
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2703
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2704
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2708
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2710
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2712
* Error when run with -OO
2714
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2717
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2719
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2721
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2722
ignored by diff and status
2724
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2725
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2727
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2729
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2731
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2732
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2734
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2735
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2737
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2740
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2741
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2743
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2745
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2746
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2748
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2751
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2752
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2754
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2758
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2759
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2761
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2763
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2765
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2767
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2768
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2769
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2771
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2773
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2774
(John Arbash Meinel)
2776
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2778
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2779
If adding a new test script please add that to
2780
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2782
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2783
imported. (Martin Pool)
2785
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2786
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2787
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2788
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2789
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2792
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2793
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2794
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2796
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2797
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2798
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2800
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2801
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2802
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2803
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2804
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2807
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2808
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2813
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2814
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2816
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2817
function. (Robert Collins)
2819
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2820
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2821
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2823
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2824
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2827
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2828
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2829
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2830
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2831
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2832
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2833
version. (Robert Collins)
2835
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2836
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2838
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2839
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2840
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2841
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2842
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2843
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2845
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2848
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2858
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2860
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2862
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2865
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2866
query method. (Robert Collins)
2868
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2871
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2874
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2877
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2878
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2879
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2880
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2882
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2883
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2884
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2885
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2887
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2888
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2894
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2897
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2901
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2902
a separator, not ':'.
2905
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2906
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2907
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2909
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2910
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2913
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2914
has been added that suppresses all output.
2916
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2919
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2920
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2922
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2923
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2925
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2926
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2928
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2929
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2930
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2931
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2933
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2935
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2936
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2938
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2939
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2941
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2942
output directory, if one was supplied.
2944
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2945
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2946
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2947
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2949
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2951
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2952
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2954
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2955
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2956
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2958
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2959
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2961
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2964
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2966
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2970
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2971
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2972
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2974
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2975
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2976
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2978
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2979
is given. (Martin Pool)
2981
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2982
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2983
file. (Robert Collins)
2985
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2990
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2991
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2992
representation. (Martin Pool).
2994
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2995
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2996
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2998
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3001
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3002
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3005
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3006
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3007
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3008
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3009
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3011
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3012
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3013
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3014
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3015
python path. (Robert Collins)
3017
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3018
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3019
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3020
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3022
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3023
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3025
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3026
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3029
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3030
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3031
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3033
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3034
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3035
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3037
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3038
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3040
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3041
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3042
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3045
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3046
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3047
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3048
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3051
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3054
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3055
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3058
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3059
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3060
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3062
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3063
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3064
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3066
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3067
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3068
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3070
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3071
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3073
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3074
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3075
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3076
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3077
caller. (Robert Collins)
3079
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3080
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3083
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3084
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3087
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3089
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3090
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3094
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3095
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3097
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3098
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3101
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3105
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3106
allow directories to be listed.
3108
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3109
upgrading branch format.
3113
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3120
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3121
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3122
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3123
high-latency connections.
3127
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3130
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3131
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3133
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3134
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3135
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3136
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3138
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3139
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3141
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3142
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3144
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3145
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3146
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3148
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3149
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3150
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3153
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3154
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3156
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3157
different partial views of history.
3159
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3160
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3164
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3165
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3166
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3168
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3169
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3172
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3173
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3175
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3178
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3179
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3181
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3182
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3183
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3184
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3186
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3188
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3189
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3192
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3193
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3195
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3196
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3197
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3202
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3203
for your viewing pleasure.
3205
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3206
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3208
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3209
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3210
handling of such circumstances.
3212
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3213
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3214
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3216
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3218
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3219
we call them revisions not patches.
3221
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3222
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3224
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3225
giving the revision *of that file*.
3227
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3228
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3229
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3233
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3234
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3236
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3237
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3240
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3244
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3246
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3249
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3251
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3253
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3254
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3258
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3259
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3261
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3262
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3263
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3264
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3267
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3268
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3272
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3274
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3275
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3278
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3282
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3283
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3284
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3285
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3288
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3291
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3292
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3293
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3294
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3295
for the operating system is still tried.
3297
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3298
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3299
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3304
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3308
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3310
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3313
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3319
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3321
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3324
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3328
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3329
help with intelligent shell completion.
3331
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3336
* Much better merge support.
3338
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3339
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3345
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3346
mention revisions that are not present.
3348
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3350
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3352
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3353
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3358
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3360
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3361
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3367
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3368
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3373
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3377
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3378
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3380
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3382
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3383
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3385
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3388
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3390
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3393
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3394
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3396
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3397
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3398
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3403
* Faster working tree operations.
3408
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3409
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3410
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3411
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3413
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3414
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3415
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3416
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3417
standard plugins directory.
3419
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3420
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3421
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3422
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3424
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3425
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3427
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3430
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3431
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3432
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3434
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3435
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3437
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3438
line options must come before the command name because they
3439
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3440
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3443
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3445
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3446
is available with ``--short``.
3451
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3454
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3458
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3459
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3461
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3462
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3463
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3464
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3466
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3467
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3468
with the ``--forward`` option.
3470
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3471
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3477
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3478
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3480
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3482
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3483
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3485
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3487
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3488
either read or write mode.
3490
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3492
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3495
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3497
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3498
suggested by LarstiQ.
3500
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3501
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3503
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3506
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3507
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3509
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3510
haven't changed since the previous time.
3512
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3513
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3515
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3517
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3519
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3520
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3522
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3523
options through to an external GNU diff.
3525
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3528
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3534
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3535
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3537
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3543
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3544
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3547
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3548
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3550
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3551
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3553
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3554
under a different version.
3556
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3561
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3563
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3564
Scott James Remnant.
3566
* Better help messages for many commands.
3568
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3569
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3571
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3572
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3574
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3576
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3578
* New AtomicFile class.
3580
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3585
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3586
2.4 is now only recommended.
3589
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3593
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3594
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3596
* More default ignore patterns.
3598
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3599
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3601
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3603
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3606
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3611
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3612
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3613
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3614
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3615
there are DNS problems.
3617
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3622
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3624
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3626
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3627
trailing newlines properly.
3632
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3635
* More tests in test.sh.
3637
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3638
directory and delete it when done.
3640
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3645
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3648
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3652
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3656
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3659
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3661
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3664
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3667
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3669
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3673
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3674
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3679
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3680
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3685
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3689
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3696
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
3699
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3703
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3705
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3706
rather than replacing it.
3708
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3712
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3715
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3716
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3718
* Performance improvements.
3720
* New global --profile option.
3722
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3723
the root directory only.
3726
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3730
* More information from info command.
3732
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3734
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3735
committing to stores.
3737
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3741
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3745
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3746
installation easier.
3748
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3752
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3756
* First public release.
3758
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
