12
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
13
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
14
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
19
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
20
change, if it's different from the committer. (Lukáš Lalinský)
24
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
25
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
27
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
28
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
30
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
33
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
34
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
38
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
41
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
44
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
45
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
47
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
51
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
52
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
54
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
55
previous release. (Martin Pool)
57
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
62
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
63
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
66
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
67
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
69
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
70
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
71
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
72
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
73
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
74
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
76
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
77
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
78
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
80
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
81
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
82
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
83
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
85
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
86
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after write or
87
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
95
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
96
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
97
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
98
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
99
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
100
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
101
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
102
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
107
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
108
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
109
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
111
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
112
======================
116
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
117
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
118
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
119
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
120
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
122
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
125
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
129
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
130
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
133
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
134
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
137
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
140
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
141
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
143
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
144
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
146
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
147
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
149
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
150
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
152
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
153
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
155
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
160
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
161
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
163
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
164
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
166
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
167
the repository (Robert Collins)
169
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
170
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
171
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
172
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
173
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
175
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
176
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
178
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
179
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
182
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
183
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
184
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
186
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
187
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
188
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
191
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
192
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
195
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
196
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
198
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
201
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
203
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
205
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
206
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
208
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
209
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
212
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
213
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
214
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
215
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
217
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
218
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
219
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
221
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
222
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
223
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
225
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
226
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
228
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
229
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
230
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
231
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
232
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
233
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
236
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
237
(Alexander Belchenko)
239
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
240
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
242
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
243
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
245
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
247
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
248
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
252
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
253
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
254
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
255
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
257
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
259
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
262
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
263
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
264
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
265
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
266
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
267
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
271
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
272
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
273
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
274
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
276
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
277
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
278
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
279
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
280
tests have been refactored too.
283
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
284
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
285
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
289
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
290
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
291
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
293
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
294
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
295
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
296
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
297
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
298
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
299
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
301
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
302
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
303
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
304
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
307
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
308
functionality for testing.
310
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
312
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
313
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
315
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
317
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
320
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
321
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
323
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
324
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
325
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
327
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
330
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
331
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
333
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
334
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
335
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
336
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
338
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
339
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
341
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
342
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
343
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
345
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
348
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
349
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
350
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
351
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
352
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
353
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
355
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
356
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
357
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
358
many files. (Robert Collins)
360
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
361
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
362
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
363
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
367
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
368
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
369
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
371
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
372
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
374
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
375
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
376
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
384
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
387
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
388
=======================
392
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
393
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
395
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
396
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
397
(James Westby, #122656)
399
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
400
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
402
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
403
authentication header.
404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
406
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
408
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
409
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
411
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
413
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
414
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
416
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
417
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
418
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
420
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
421
individually and as part of revision ranges.
424
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
425
(Martin Pool, #109169)
427
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
430
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
431
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
433
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
435
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
439
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
440
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
441
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
442
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
443
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
444
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
446
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
447
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
448
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
450
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
453
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
454
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
456
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
457
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
459
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
460
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
462
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
463
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
464
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
465
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
466
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
468
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
469
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
471
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
472
can be slow it is useful feedback).
473
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
475
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
476
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
478
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
480
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
481
output. (Aaron Bentley)
483
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
484
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
487
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
490
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
491
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
493
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
494
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
496
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
497
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
499
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
501
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
502
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
504
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
510
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
511
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
512
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
513
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
514
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
515
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
516
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
517
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
518
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
519
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
520
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
521
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
522
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
523
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
524
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
525
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
526
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
529
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
531
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
532
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
533
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
535
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
536
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
538
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
539
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
541
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
543
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
544
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
545
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
546
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
547
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
548
same location. (Robert Collins)
552
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
554
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
556
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
558
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
561
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
564
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
565
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
566
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
568
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
570
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
571
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
572
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
574
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
575
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
577
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
578
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
579
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
581
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
582
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
583
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
585
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
586
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
587
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
589
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
590
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
593
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
594
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
596
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
597
(Alexander Belchenko)
601
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
602
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
603
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
604
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
606
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
607
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
608
testing. (Robert Collins)
610
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
611
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
613
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
614
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
615
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
616
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
617
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
618
attribute during the test parameterisation in
619
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
621
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
622
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
623
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
624
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
626
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
627
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
629
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
630
avoid useless cloning.
631
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
639
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
640
(Colin Watson, #120647)
642
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

647
=======================
649
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
651
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
652
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
653
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
654
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
655
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
656
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
657
and unlock() like so::
659
work_tree.lock_read()
661
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
666
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
667
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
669
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
670
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
671
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
673
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
674
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
675
too. (Robert Collins)
679
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
680
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
683
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
686
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
687
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
689
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
690
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
691
understanding what changes have occurred
692
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
694
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
695
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
696
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
698
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
699
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
700
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
701
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
703
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
708
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
709
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
710
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
711
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
712
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
714
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
715
based on split paths, not just string paths.
716
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
718
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
721
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
723
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
725
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
726
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
728
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
729
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
731
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
732
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
734
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
735
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
737
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
738
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
740
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
741
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
742
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
749
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
750
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
751
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
752
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
753
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
755
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
756
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
757
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
759
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
760
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
764
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
765
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
766
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
768
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
769
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
770
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
771
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
773
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
774
=======================
778
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
779
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
780
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
781
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
783
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
784
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
785
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
787
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
788
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
790
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
791
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
793
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
794
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
796
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
797
=======================
799
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
801
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
802
it could be recovered again.
803
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
804
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
805
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
807
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
809
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
810
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
814
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
815
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
817
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
818
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
819
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
820
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
822
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
823
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
825
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
826
tests with names that match that regular expression.
827
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
829
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
830
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
831
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
833
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
834
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
835
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
837
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
838
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
841
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
844
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
845
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
846
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
847
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
849
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
852
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
853
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
854
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
857
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
858
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
860
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
861
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
863
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
864
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
865
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
866
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
869
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
870
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
872
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
873
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
875
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
876
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
877
(Robert Collins, #107125).
879
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
880
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
881
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
883
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
884
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
885
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
887
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
888
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
889
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
890
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
892
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
893
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
894
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
895
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
897
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
898
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
899
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
900
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
901
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
902
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
903
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
904
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
910
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
911
code paths. (Robert Collins)
913
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
914
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
915
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
916
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
917
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
919
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
920
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
922
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
923
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
925
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
926
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
928
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
929
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
931
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
932
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
933
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
936
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
937
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
938
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
939
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
940
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
943
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
944
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
945
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
947
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
948
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
951
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
952
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
953
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
956
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
957
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
958
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
959
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
960
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
962
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
963
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
964
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
965
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
967
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
968
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
970
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
971
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
972
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
973
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
974
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
975
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
977
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
978
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
980
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
981
help. (Robert Collins)
983
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
984
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
986
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
987
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
988
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
989
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
992
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
993
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
994
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
995
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
996
useful. (Robert Collins)
998
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1003
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1004
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1006
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1007
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1009
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1010
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1011
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1013
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1016
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1017
the file, and does it faster.
1018
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1020
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1021
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1022
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1024
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1025
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1026
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1027
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1029
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1030
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1031
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1032
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1034
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1035
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1037
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1038
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1039
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1040
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1043
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1045
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1046
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1048
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1049
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1051
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1052
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1053
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1054
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1058
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1063
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1064
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1065
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1067
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1068
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1070
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1071
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1072
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1073
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1074
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1075
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1076
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1077
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1079
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1080
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1081
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1083
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1084
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1085
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1086
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1087
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1089
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1091
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1092
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1093
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1095
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1096
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1104
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1107
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1108
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1111
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1112
=======================
1116
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1117
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1122
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1123
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1124
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1125
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1126
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1127
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1128
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1129
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1134
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1135
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1136
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1138
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1139
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1142
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1143
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1144
(John Arbash Meinel)
1146
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1147
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1148
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1149
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1150
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1154
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1157
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1158
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1160
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1161
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1163
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1164
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1165
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1167
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1168
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1170
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1171
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1172
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1173
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1174
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1176
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1177
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1178
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1180
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1183
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1184
=======================
1186
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1188
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1189
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1190
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1194
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1195
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1197
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1198
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1200
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1202
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1203
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1205
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1206
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1210
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1215
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1216
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1217
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1218
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1220
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1221
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1223
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1224
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1226
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1229
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1230
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1233
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1234
=======================
1238
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1239
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1240
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1241
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1242
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1243
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1245
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1246
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1247
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1248
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1249
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1250
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1252
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1254
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1255
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1256
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1257
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1258
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1259
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1260
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1261
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1265
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1266
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1268
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1269
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1270
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1271
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1273
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1274
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1275
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1276
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1277
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1279
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1282
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1285
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1288
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1289
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1292
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1295
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1296
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1298
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1299
directory. (Martin Pool)
1301
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1302
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1303
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1304
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1306
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1307
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1308
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1309
in docs/configuration.txt.
1311
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1312
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1315
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1316
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1317
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1318
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1319
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1320
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1322
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1323
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1325
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1326
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1328
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1333
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1334
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1335
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1336
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1337
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1338
(John Arbash Meinel)
1340
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1341
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1344
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1345
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1346
(John Arbash Meinel)
1348
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1349
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1350
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1351
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1352
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1353
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1355
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1356
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1357
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1359
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1360
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1361
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1362
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1364
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1366
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1367
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1368
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1369
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1371
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1372
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1373
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1374
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1376
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1377
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1378
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1380
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1381
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1382
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1384
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1385
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1386
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1387
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1389
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1390
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1391
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1393
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1394
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1395
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1397
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1398
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1399
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1400
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1401
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1402
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1403
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1404
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1405
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1406
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1407
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1411
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1412
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1413
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1415
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1418
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1419
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1420
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1421
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1423
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1424
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1427
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1428
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1430
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1432
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1433
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1434
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1436
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1437
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1439
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1440
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1442
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1443
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1445
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1446
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1448
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1450
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1451
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1455
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1456
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1460
====================
1464
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1468
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1469
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1470
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1472
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1473
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1474
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1477
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1478
=======================
1482
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1483
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1484
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1485
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1487
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1490
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1491
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1492
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1494
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1495
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1497
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1500
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1501
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1502
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1503
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1504
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1505
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1507
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1508
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1509
should enable you to do::
1511
[/home/user/project]
1512
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1513
push_location:policy = appendpath
1515
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1516
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1519
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1520
for each file. For example::
1522
$ bzr status --short
1528
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1529
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1531
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1533
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1534
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1536
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1540
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1541
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1542
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1543
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1545
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1546
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1547
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1549
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1551
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1552
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1553
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1554
(Alexander Belchenko)
1556
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1559
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1560
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1562
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1566
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1567
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1569
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1570
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1571
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1572
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1573
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1575
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1576
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1578
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1579
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1581
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1583
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1585
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1586
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1587
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1588
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1589
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1591
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1592
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1593
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1594
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1596
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1597
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1599
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1600
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1602
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1603
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1605
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1606
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1610
====================
1612
No changes from 0.13rc1
1614
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1615
=======================
1619
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1621
(Daniel Silverstone)
1623
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1624
operations are substantially faster.
1625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1627
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1628
tree from some other url. For example:
1629
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1630
(Daniel Silverstone)
1632
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1633
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1634
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1635
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1637
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1640
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1641
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1642
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1643
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1644
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1645
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1649
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1650
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1653
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1654
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1655
(John Arbash Meinel)
1657
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1658
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1659
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1660
(John Arbash Meinel)
1662
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1663
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1665
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1666
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1668
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1669
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1674
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1675
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1676
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1678
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1679
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1680
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1681
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1683
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1685
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1686
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1688
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1689
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1690
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1693
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1694
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1695
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1697
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1698
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1699
them as full references rather than integers.
1700
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1702
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1703
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1705
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1707
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1708
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1710
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1711
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1713
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1714
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1715
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1716
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1718
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1719
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1720
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1722
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1723
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1725
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1726
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1727
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1728
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1729
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1733
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1734
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1737
====================
1741
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1742
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1743
(John Arbash Meinel)
1745
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1746
=======================
1750
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1751
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1752
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1753
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1755
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1756
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1758
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1760
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1761
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1762
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1763
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1765
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1766
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1767
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1768
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1769
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1771
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1773
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1774
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1778
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1779
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1780
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1782
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1783
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1784
(John Arbash Meinel)
1786
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1787
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1788
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1790
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1791
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1794
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1795
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1796
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1798
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1799
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1800
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1801
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1802
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1803
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1805
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1806
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1807
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1810
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1811
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1815
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1816
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1817
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1820
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1821
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1823
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1824
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1825
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1827
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1828
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1830
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1831
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1832
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1833
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1835
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1836
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1838
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1839
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1840
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1842
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1843
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1845
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1847
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1848
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1853
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1854
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1855
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1856
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1858
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1859
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1860
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1863
====================
1865
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1867
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1868
=======================
1872
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1874
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1877
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1878
=======================
1882
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1883
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1884
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1885
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1886
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1887
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1888
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1890
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1891
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1892
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1894
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1896
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1897
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1899
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1900
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1901
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1904
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1905
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1906
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1907
(John Arbash Meinel)
1909
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1910
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1911
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1912
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1915
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1916
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1917
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1918
(John Arbash Meinel)
1922
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1923
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1925
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1927
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1928
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1929
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1931
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1932
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1934
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1935
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1937
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1940
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1941
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1943
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1945
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1946
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1948
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1949
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1951
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1952
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1954
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1955
(John Arbash Meinel)
1957
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1958
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1959
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1961
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1962
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1964
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1965
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1966
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1967
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1969
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1970
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1971
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1973
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1974
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1978
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1982
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1983
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1984
(John Arbash Meinel)
1986
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1987
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1988
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1989
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1991
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1994
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1995
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1996
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1998
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1999
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2001
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2002
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2003
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2005
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2006
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2007
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2008
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2009
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2010
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2011
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2012
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2013
caller to repeat their request.
2014
(John Arbash Meinel)
2016
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2017
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2019
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2020
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2022
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2023
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2024
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2025
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2026
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2027
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2028
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2030
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2031
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2032
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2033
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2034
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2035
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2036
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2037
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2040
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2041
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2042
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2044
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2045
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2047
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2048
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2050
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2051
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2055
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2056
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2058
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2059
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2060
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2062
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2063
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2064
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2067
====================
2070
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2071
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2073
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2074
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2075
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2076
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2077
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2079
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2080
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2081
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2083
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2084
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2086
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2087
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2088
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2092
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2094
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2095
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2096
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2098
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2100
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2102
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2103
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2104
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2105
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2107
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2108
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2109
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2110
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2111
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2113
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2114
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2116
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2117
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2119
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2120
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2122
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2123
in handling of revision properties.
2124
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2126
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2127
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2131
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2132
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2133
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2134
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2135
(John Arbash Meinel)
2137
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2138
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2139
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2141
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2142
=====================
2146
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2147
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2148
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2149
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2150
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2151
a more conservative list than the old default.
2152
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2153
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2154
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2155
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2157
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2158
to more locations than just branch locations.
2163
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2164
revno:N:branch. For example,
2165
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2166
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2168
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2169
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2170
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2171
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2172
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2173
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2174
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2175
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2178
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2179
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2180
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2183
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2184
(Alexander Belchenko)
2186
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2188
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2191
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2192
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2193
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2194
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2195
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2196
(John Arbash Meinel)
2198
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2199
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2200
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2201
grained analysis of performance.
2202
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2204
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2205
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2207
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2208
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2209
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2210
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2211
file. (Robert Collins).
2213
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2214
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2215
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2217
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2218
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2221
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2222
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2224
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2225
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2226
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2227
the same way you would apply another branch.
2228
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2230
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2231
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2233
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2236
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2239
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2240
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2241
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2243
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2244
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2245
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2247
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2248
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2250
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2251
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2252
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2253
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2254
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2256
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2257
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2259
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2260
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2261
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2262
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2263
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2264
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2265
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2266
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2268
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2269
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2270
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2274
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2276
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2278
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2279
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2281
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2282
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2284
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2285
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2287
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2289
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2290
(John Arbash Meinel)
2292
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2293
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2295
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2296
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2299
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2300
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2302
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2303
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2305
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2306
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2307
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2308
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2310
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2311
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2313
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2315
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2316
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2318
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2320
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2322
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2323
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2325
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2326
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2328
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2329
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2330
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2332
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2333
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2334
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2336
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2337
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2339
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2340
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2342
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2343
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2345
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2346
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2348
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2349
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2351
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2352
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2353
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2355
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2357
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2358
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2362
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2363
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2364
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2366
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2367
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2369
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2370
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2371
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2373
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2374
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2376
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2377
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2380
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2381
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2382
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2384
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2385
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2386
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2388
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2389
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2390
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2392
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2393
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2394
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2396
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2397
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2398
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2400
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2401
instead. (Robert Collins)
2403
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2405
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2406
=====================
2410
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2412
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2413
=====================
2417
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2418
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2420
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2421
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2423
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2424
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2425
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2429
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2431
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2432
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2434
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2438
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2439
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2440
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2441
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2445
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2446
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2447
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2451
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2452
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2453
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2457
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2458
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2463
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2465
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2466
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2467
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2468
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2469
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2470
will keep the same format.
2472
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2473
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2474
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2475
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2476
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2478
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2479
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2480
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2481
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2482
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2483
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2484
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2486
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2487
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2488
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2489
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2490
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2492
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2493
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2494
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2500
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2501
convention. Paths now take the form::
2503
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2505
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2507
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2508
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2510
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2511
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2512
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2514
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2515
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2516
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2517
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2519
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2520
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2521
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2523
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2525
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2527
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2528
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2531
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2532
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2535
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2537
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2538
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2539
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2542
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2544
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2546
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2549
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2550
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2552
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2553
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2556
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2557
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2560
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2562
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2564
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2565
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2567
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2568
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2569
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2570
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2571
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2572
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2574
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2576
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2577
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2580
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2581
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2583
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2584
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2586
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2588
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2589
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2590
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2591
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2592
specification by Martin Pool.
2593
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2595
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2598
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2599
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2601
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2602
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2603
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2605
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2607
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2608
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2613
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2614
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2616
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2618
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2620
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2623
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2624
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2625
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2626
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2630
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2631
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2632
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2633
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2635
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2636
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2637
tried. (Martin Pool)
2639
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2642
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2644
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2645
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2646
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2648
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2649
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2651
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2652
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2653
paths. (Robert Collins)
2655
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2656
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2657
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2659
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2660
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2661
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2663
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2664
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2665
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2667
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2670
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2673
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2675
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2677
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2678
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2679
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2682
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2683
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2685
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2686
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2687
check. (Robert Collins)
2689
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2690
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2694
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2695
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2697
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2698
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2699
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2700
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2702
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2703
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2704
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2705
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2706
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2708
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2709
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2710
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2712
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2714
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2715
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2722
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2723
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2725
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2726
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2727
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2730
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2731
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2733
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2734
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2735
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2736
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2737
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2739
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2740
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2741
used. (Robert Collins)
2743
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2744
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2747
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2748
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2749
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2751
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2754
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2755
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2759
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2760
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2762
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2764
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2766
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2767
tree. (Robert Collins)
2769
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2770
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2771
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2774
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2777
* Tweaks to short log printing
2779
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2782
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2783
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2785
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2786
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2788
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2789
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2791
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2792
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2793
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2795
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2796
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2798
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2799
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2802
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2803
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2805
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2806
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2808
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2809
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2811
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2814
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2815
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2817
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2818
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2820
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2821
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2822
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2826
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2828
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2830
* Error when run with -OO
2832
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2835
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2837
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2839
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2840
ignored by diff and status
2842
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2843
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2845
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2847
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2849
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2850
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2852
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2853
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2855
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2858
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2859
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2861
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2863
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2864
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2866
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2869
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2870
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2872
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2876
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2877
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2879
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2881
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2883
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2885
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2886
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2887
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2889
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2891
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2892
(John Arbash Meinel)
2894
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2896
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2897
If adding a new test script please add that to
2898
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2900
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2901
imported. (Martin Pool)
2903
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2904
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2905
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2906
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2907
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2910
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2911
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2912
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2914
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2915
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2916
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2918
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2919
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2920
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2921
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2922
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2925
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2926
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2931
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2932
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2934
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2935
function. (Robert Collins)
2937
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2938
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2939
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2941
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2942
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2945
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2946
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2947
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2948
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2949
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2950
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2951
version. (Robert Collins)
2953
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2954
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2956
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2957
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2958
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2959
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2960
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2961
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2963
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2966
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2976
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2978
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2980
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2983
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2984
query method. (Robert Collins)
2986
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2989
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2992
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2995
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2996
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2997
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2998
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3000
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3001
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3002
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3003
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3005
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3006
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3013
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3016
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3020
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3021
a separator, not ':'.
3024
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3025
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3026
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3028
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3029
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3032
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3033
has been added that suppresses all output.
3035
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3038
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3039
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3041
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3042
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3044
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3045
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3047
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3048
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3049
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3050
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3052
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3054
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3055
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3057
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3058
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3060
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3061
output directory, if one was supplied.
3063
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3064
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3065
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3066
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3068
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3070
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3071
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3073
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3074
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3075
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3077
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3078
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3080
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3083
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3085
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3089
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3090
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3091
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3093
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3094
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3095
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3097
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3098
is given. (Martin Pool)
3100
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3101
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3102
file. (Robert Collins)
3104
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3109
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3110
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3111
representation. (Martin Pool).
3113
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3114
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3115
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3117
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3120
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3121
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3124
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3125
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3126
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3127
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3128
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3130
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3131
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3132
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3133
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3134
python path. (Robert Collins)
3136
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3137
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3138
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3139
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3141
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3142
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3144
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3145
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3148
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3149
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3150
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3152
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3153
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3154
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3156
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3157
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3159
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3160
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3161
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3164
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3165
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3166
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3167
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3170
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3173
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3174
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3177
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3178
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3179
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3181
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3182
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3183
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3185
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3186
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3187
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3189
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3190
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3192
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3193
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3194
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3195
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3196
caller. (Robert Collins)
3198
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3199
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3202
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3203
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3206
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3208
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3209
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3213
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3214
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3216
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3217
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3220
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3221
====================
3225
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3226
allow directories to be listed.
3228
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3229
upgrading branch format.
3233
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3241
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3242
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3243
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3244
high-latency connections.
3248
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3251
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3252
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3254
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3255
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3256
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3257
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3259
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3260
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3262
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3263
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3265
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3266
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3267
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3269
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3270
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3271
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3274
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3275
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3277
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3278
different partial views of history.
3280
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3281
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3285
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3286
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3287
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3289
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3290
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3293
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3294
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3296
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3299
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3300
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3302
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3303
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3304
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3305
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3307
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3309
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3310
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3313
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3314
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3316
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3317
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3318
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3323
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3324
for your viewing pleasure.
3326
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3327
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3329
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3330
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3331
handling of such circumstances.
3333
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3334
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3335
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3337
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3339
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3340
we call them revisions not patches.
3342
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3343
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3345
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3346
giving the revision *of that file*.
3348
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3349
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3350
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3354
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3355
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3357
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3358
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3361
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3362
====================
3366
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3368
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3371
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3373
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3375
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3376
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3380
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3381
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3383
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3384
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3385
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3386
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3389
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3390
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3394
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3396
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3397
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3400
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3401
====================
3405
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3406
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3407
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3408
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3411
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3414
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3415
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3416
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3417
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3418
for the operating system is still tried.
3420
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3421
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3422
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3427
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3431
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3433
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3436
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3442
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3444
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3447
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3448
====================
3452
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3453
help with intelligent shell completion.
3455
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3460
* Much better merge support.
3462
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3463
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3469
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3470
mention revisions that are not present.
3472
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3474
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3476
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3477
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3482
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3484
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3485
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3491
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3492
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3497
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3498
====================
3502
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3503
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3505
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3507
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3508
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3510
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3513
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3515
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3518
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3519
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3521
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3522
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3523
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3528
* Faster working tree operations.
3533
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3534
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3535
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3536
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3538
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3539
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3540
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3541
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3542
standard plugins directory.
3544
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3545
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3546
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3547
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3549
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3550
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3552
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3555
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3556
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3557
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3559
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3560
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3562
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3563
line options must come before the command name because they
3564
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3565
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3568
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3570
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3571
is available with ``--short``.
3576
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3579
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3580
=====================
3584
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3585
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3587
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3588
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3589
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3590
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3592
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3593
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3594
with the ``--forward`` option.
3596
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3597
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3603
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3604
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3606
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3608
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3609
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3611
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3613
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3614
either read or write mode.
3616
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3618
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3621
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3623
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3624
suggested by LarstiQ.
3626
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3627
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3629
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3632
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3633
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3635
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3636
haven't changed since the previous time.
3638
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3639
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3641
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3643
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3645
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3646
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3648
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3649
options through to an external GNU diff.
3651
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3654
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3660
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3661
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3663
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3669
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3670
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3673
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3674
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3676
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3677
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3679
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3680
under a different version.
3682
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3687
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3689
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3690
Scott James Remnant.
3692
* Better help messages for many commands.
3694
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3695
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3697
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3698
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3700
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3702
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3704
* New AtomicFile class.
3706
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3711
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3712
2.4 is now only recommended.
3715
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3716
=====================
3720
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3721
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3723
* More default ignore patterns.
3725
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3726
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3728
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3730
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3733
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3738
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3739
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3740
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3741
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3742
there are DNS problems.
3744
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3749
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3751
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3753
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3754
trailing newlines properly.
3759
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3762
* More tests in test.sh.
3764
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3765
directory and delete it when done.
3767
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3772
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3775
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3779
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3780
=====================
3784
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3787
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3789
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3792
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3795
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3797
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3801
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3802
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3807
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3808
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3813
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3817
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3825
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
3828
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3829
===================================
3833
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3835
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3836
rather than replacing it.
3838
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3842
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3845
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3846
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3848
* Performance improvements.
3850
* New global --profile option.
3852
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3853
the root directory only.
3856
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3857
=====================
3861
* More information from info command.
3863
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3865
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3866
committing to stores.
3868
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3872
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3876
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3877
installation easier.
3879
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3883
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
