CHANGES:
11
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.
15
(Martin Pool)
16
17
FEATURES:
18
19
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
20
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
21
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
22
(Lukáš Lalinský)
23
24
BUG FIXES:
25
26
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
27
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
28
29
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
30
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
31
32
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
33
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
34
35
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
36
(Aaron Bentley)
37
38
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
39
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
40
41
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
42
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
43
44
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
45
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
46
47
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
48
(Blake Winton, #129299)
49
50
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
51
52
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
53
Watkins, #106726)
54
55
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
56
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
57
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
58
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
59
60
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
61
62
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
63
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
64
#133548)
65
66
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
67
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
68
69
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
70
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
71
#116143)
72
73
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
74
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
75
76
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
77
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
78
79
IMPROVEMENTS:
80
81
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
82
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
83
84
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
85
(Aaron Bentley)
86
87
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
88
(Aaron Bentley)
89
90
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
91
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
92
93
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
94
95
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
96
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
97
98
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
99
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
100
101
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
102
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
103
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
104
space). (Robert Collins)
105
106
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
107
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
108
(Ian Clatworthy)
109
110
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
111
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
112
113
API BREAKS:
114
115
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
116
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
117
118
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
119
previous release. (Martin Pool)
120
121
TESTING:
122
123
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
124
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
125
126
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
127
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
128
129
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
130
previous release. (Martin Pool)
131
132
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
133
(Aaron Bentley)
134
135
INTERNALS:
136
137
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
138
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
139
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
140
its version information. (Robert Collins)
141
142
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
143
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
144
145
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
146
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
147
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
148
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
149
150
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
151
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
152
(Robert Collins)
153
154
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
155
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
156
157
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
158
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
159
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
160
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
161
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
162
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
163
164
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
165
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
166
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
167
168
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
169
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
170
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
171
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
172
protocol.
173
174
TESTING:
175
176
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
177
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
178
179
180
bzr 0.90 2007-08-??
181
===================
182
183
IMPROVEMENTS:
184
185
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
186
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
187
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
188
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
189
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
190
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
191
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
192
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
193
194
195
API CHANGES:
196
197
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
198
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
199
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
200
201
202
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
203
======================
204
205
BUGFIXES:
206
207
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
208
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
209
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
210
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
211
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
212
213
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
214
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
215
216
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
217
anymore.
218
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
219
220
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
221
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
222
(Vincent Ladeuil)
223
224
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
225
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
226
#111664)
227
228
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
229
(Lukáš Lalinský)
230
231
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
232
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
233
234
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
235
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
236
237
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
238
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
239
240
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
241
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
242
243
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
244
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
245
246
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
247
(Aaron Bentley)
248
249
IMPROVEMENTS:
250
251
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
252
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
253
254
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
255
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
256
257
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
258
the repository (Robert Collins)
259
260
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
261
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
262
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
263
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
264
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
265
266
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
267
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
268
269
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
270
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
271
(John Arbash Meinel)
272
273
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
274
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
275
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
276
about 10%).
277
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
278
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
279
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
280
(John Arbash Meinel)
281
282
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
283
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
284
(Robert Collins)
285
286
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
287
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
288
289
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
290
(Ian Clatworthy)
291
292
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
293
294
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
295
296
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
297
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
298
299
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
300
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
301
Meinel)
302
303
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
304
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
305
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
306
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
307
308
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
309
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
310
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
311
312
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
313
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
314
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
315
316
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
317
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
318
319
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
320
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
321
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
322
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
323
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
324
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
325
(Ian Clatworthy)
326
327
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
328
(Alexander Belchenko)
329
330
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
331
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
332
333
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
334
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
335
336
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
337
338
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
339
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
340
341
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
342
343
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
344
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
345
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
346
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
347
348
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
349
350
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
351
(Robert Collins)
352
353
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
354
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
355
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
356
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
357
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
358
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
359
360
INTERNALS:
361
362
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
363
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
364
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
365
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
366
367
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
368
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
369
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
370
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
371
tests have been refactored too.
372
(Vincent Ladeuil)
373
374
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
375
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
376
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
377
list, it will.
378
(Vincent Ladeuil)
379
380
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
381
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
382
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
383
384
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
385
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
386
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
387
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
388
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
389
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
390
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
391
392
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
393
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
394
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
395
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
396
(John Arbash Meinel)
397
398
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
399
functionality for testing.
400
401
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
402
403
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
404
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
405
406
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
407
408
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
409
(Robert Collins)
410
411
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
412
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
413
414
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
415
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
416
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
417
418
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
419
(Aaron Bentley)
420
421
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
422
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
423
424
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
425
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
426
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
427
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
428
429
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
430
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
431
432
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
433
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
434
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
435
436
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
437
(Marius Kruger)
438
439
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
440
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
441
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
442
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
443
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
444
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
445
446
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
447
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
448
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
449
many files. (Robert Collins)
450
451
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
452
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
453
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
454
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
455
456
TESTING:
457
458
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
459
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
460
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
461
462
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
463
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
464
465
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
466
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
467
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
479
=======================
480
481
BUGFIXES:
482
483
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
484
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
485
486
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
487
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
488
(James Westby, #122656)
489
490
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
491
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
492
493
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
494
authentication header.
495
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
496
497
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
498
499
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
500
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
501
502
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
503
504
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
506
507
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
508
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
510
511
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
512
individually and as part of revision ranges.
513
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
514
515
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
516
(Martin Pool, #109169)
517
518
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
519
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
520
521
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
522
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
523
524
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
525
526
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
527
528
IMPROVEMENTS:
529
530
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
531
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
532
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
533
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
534
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
535
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
536
537
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
538
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
539
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
540
541
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
542
(Elliot Murphy)
543
544
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
545
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
546
547
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
548
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
549
550
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
551
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
552
553
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
554
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
555
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
556
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
557
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
558
559
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
560
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
561
562
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
563
can be slow it is useful feedback).
564
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
565
566
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
567
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
568
569
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
570
571
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
572
output. (Aaron Bentley)
573
574
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
575
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
576
(Robert Collins)
577
578
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
579
(Martin Pool)
580
581
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
582
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
583
584
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
585
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
586
587
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
588
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
589
590
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
591
592
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
593
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
594
595
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
596
(Andrew Bennetts)
597
598
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
599
600
* Testing cleanups -
601
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
602
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
603
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
604
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
605
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
606
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
607
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
608
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
609
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
610
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
611
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
612
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
613
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
614
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
615
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
616
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
617
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
618
(Robert Collins)
619
620
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
621
622
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
623
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
624
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
625
626
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
627
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
628
629
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
630
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
631
632
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
633
634
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
635
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
636
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
637
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
638
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
639
same location. (Robert Collins)
640
641
INTERNALS:
642
643
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
644
645
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
646
647
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
648
649
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
650
(Martin Pool)
651
652
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
653
(Martin Pool)
654
655
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
656
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
657
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
658
659
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
660
661
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
662
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
663
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
664
665
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
666
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
667
668
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
669
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
670
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
671
672
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
673
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
674
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
675
676
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
677
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
678
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
679
680
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
681
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
682
Martin Pool)
683
684
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
685
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
686
687
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
688
(Alexander Belchenko)
689
690
TESTING:
691
692
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
693
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
694
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
695
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
696
697
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
698
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
699
testing. (Robert Collins)
700
701
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
702
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
703
704
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
705
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
706
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
707
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
708
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
709
attribute during the test parameterisation in
710
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
711
712
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
713
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
714
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
715
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
716
717
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
718
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
719
720
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
721
avoid useless cloning.

=======================
739
740
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
741
742
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
743
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
744
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
745
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
746
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
747
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
748
and unlock() like so::
749
750
work_tree.lock_read()
751
try:
752
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
753
finally:
754
work_tree.unlock()
755
756
INTERNALS:
757
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
758
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
759
object.
760
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
761
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
762
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
763
764
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
765
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
766
too. (Robert Collins)
767
768
IMPROVEMENTS:
769
770
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
771
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
772
Aaron Bentley)
773
774
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
775
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
776
777
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
778
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
779
780
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
781
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
782
understanding what changes have occurred
783
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
784
785
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
786
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
787
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
788
789
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
790
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
791
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
792
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
793
794
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
795
#56322)
796
797
BUGFIXES:
798
799
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
800
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
801
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
802
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
803
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
804
805
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
806
based on split paths, not just string paths.
807
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
808
809
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
810
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
811
812
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
813
into account.
814
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
815
816
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
817
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
818
819
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
820
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
821
822
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
823
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
824
825
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
826
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
827
828
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
829
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
830
831
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
832
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
833
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
834
835
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
836
====================
837
838
BUGFIXES:
839
840
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
841
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
842
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
843
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
844
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
845
846
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
847
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
848
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
849
850
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
851
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
852
853
IMPROVEMENTS:
854
855
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
856
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
857
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
858
859
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
860
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
861
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
862
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
863
864
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
865
=======================
866
867
BUGFIXES:
868
869
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
870
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
871
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
872
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
873
874
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
875
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
876
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
877
878
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
879
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
880
881
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
882
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
883
884
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
885
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
886
887
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
888
=======================
889
890
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
891
892
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
893
it could be recovered again.
894
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
895
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
896
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
897
but not delete it.
898
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
899
files.
900
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
901
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
902
903
IMPROVEMENTS:
904
905
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
906
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
907
908
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
909
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
910
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
911
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
912
913
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
914
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
915
916
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
917
tests with names that match that regular expression.
918
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
919
920
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
921
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
922
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
923
924
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
925
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
926
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
927
928
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
929
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
930
Robert Collins)
931
932
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
933
Pool)
934
935
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
936
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
937
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
938
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
939
940
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
941
(Robert Collins)
942
943
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
944
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
945
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
946
(Robert Collins)
947
948
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
949
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
950
951
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
952
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
953
954
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
955
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
956
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
957
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
958
(Robert Collins)
959
960
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
961
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
962
963
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
964
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
965
966
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
967
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
968
(Robert Collins, #107125).
969
970
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
971
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
972
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
973
974
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
975
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
976
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
977
978
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
979
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
980
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
981
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
982
983
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
984
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
985
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
986
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
987
988
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
989
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
990
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
991
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
992
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
993
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
994
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
995
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
996
header(s).
997
(Vincent Ladeuil).
998
999
INTERNALS:
1000
1001
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1002
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1005
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1006
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1007
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1008
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1009
1010
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1011
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1012
1013
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1014
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1015
1016
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1017
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1018
1019
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1020
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1021
1022
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1023
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1024
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1025
(Robert Collins).
1026
1027
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1028
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1029
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1030
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1031
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1032
(Robert Collins)
1033
1034
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1035
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1036
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1037
1038
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1039
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1040
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1041
1042
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1043
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1044
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1045
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1046
1047
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1048
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1049
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1050
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1051
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1052
1053
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1054
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1055
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1056
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1057
1058
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1059
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1060
1061
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1062
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1063
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1064
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1065
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1066
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1067
1068
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1069
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1070
1071
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1072
help. (Robert Collins)
1073
1074
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1075
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1076
1077
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1078
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1079
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1080
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1081
(John Arbash Meinel)
1082
1083
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1084
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1085
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1086
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1087
useful. (Robert Collins)
1088
1089
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1090
(Andrew Bennetts)
1091
1092
BUGFIXES:
1093
1094
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1095
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1096
1097
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1098
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1099
1100
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1101
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1102
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1103
1104
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1105
(Aaron Bentley)
1106
1107
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1108
the file, and does it faster.
1109
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1110
1111
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1112
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1113
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1114
1115
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1116
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1117
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1118
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1119
1120
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1121
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1122
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1123
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1124
1125
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1126
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1127
1128
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1129
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1130
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1131
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1132
Arbash Meinel)
1133
1134
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1135
1136
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1137
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1138
1139
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1140
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1141
1142
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1143
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1144
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1145
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1146
security hole.
1147
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1148
1149
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1151
1152
TESTING:
1153
1154
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1155
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1156
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1157
1158
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1159
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1160
1161
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1162
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1163
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1164
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1165
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1166
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1167
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1168
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1169
1170
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1171
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1172
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1173
1174
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1175
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1176
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1177
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1178
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1179
access.
1180
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1181
1182
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1183
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1184
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1185
1186
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1187
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
1206
1207
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1208

1209
(Martin Pool)
1210
1211
IMPROVEMENTS:
1212
1213
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1214
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1215
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1216
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1217
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1218
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1219
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1220
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1221
path. (vila)
1222
1223
INTERNALS:
1224
1225
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1226
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1227
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1228
1229
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1230
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1231
(Martin Pool)
1232
1233
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1234
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1235
(John Arbash Meinel)
1236
1237
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1238
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1239
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1240
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1241
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1242
1243
BUGFIXES:
1244
1245
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1246
(vila, #92195)
1247
1248
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1249
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1250
1251
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1252
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1253
1254
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1255
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1256
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1257
1258
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1259
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1260
1261
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1262
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1263
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1264
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1265
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1266
1267
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1268
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1269
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1270
1271
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1275
=======================
1276
1277
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1278
1279
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1280
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1281
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1282
1283
IMPROVEMENTS:
1284
1285
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1286
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1287
1288
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1289
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1290
1291
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1292
1293
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1294
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1295
1296
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1297
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1298
1299
INTERNALS:
1300
1301
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1302
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1303
1304
BUGFIXES:
1305
1306
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1307
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1308
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1309
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1310
1311
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1312
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1313
1314
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1315
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1316
1317
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1318
(Marien Zwart)
1319
1320
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1325
=======================
1326
1327
SURPRISES:
1328
1329
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1330
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1331
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1332
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1333
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1334
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1335
1336
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1337
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1338
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1339
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1340
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1341
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1342
development.
1343
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1344
1345
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1346
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1347
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1348
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1349
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1350
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1351
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1352
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1353
1354
IMPROVEMENTS:
1355
1356
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1357
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1358
1359
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1360
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1361
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1362
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1363
does exist.
1364
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1365
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1366
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1367
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1368
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1369
1370
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1371
(Aaron Bentley)
1372
1373
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1374
(Aaron Bentley)
1375
1376
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1377
(Robert Collins)
1378
1379
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1380
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1381
(Aaron Bentley)
1382
1383
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1384
(Aaron Bentley)
1385
1386
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1387
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1388
1389
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1390
directory. (Martin Pool)
1391
1392
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1393
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1394
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1395
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1396
1397
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1398
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1399
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1400
in docs/configuration.txt.
1401
1402
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1403
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1404
bind location.
1405
1406
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1407
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1408
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1409
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1410
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1411
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1412
1413
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1414
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1415
1416
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1417
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1418
1419
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1420
(Aaron Bentley)
1421
1422
INTERNALS:
1423
1424
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1425
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1426
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1427
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1428
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1429
(John Arbash Meinel)
1430
1431
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1432
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1433
(Aaron Bentley)
1434
1435
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1436
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1437
(John Arbash Meinel)
1438
1439
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1440
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1441
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1442
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1443
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1444
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1445
1446
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1447
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1448
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1449
1450
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1451
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1452
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1453
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1454
repository.
1455
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1456
1457
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1458
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1459
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1460
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1461
1462
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1463
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1464
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1465
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1466
1467
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1468
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1469
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1470
1471
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1472
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1473
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1474
1475
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1476
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1477
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1478
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1479
1480
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1481
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1482
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1483
1484
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1485
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1486
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1487
1488
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1489
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1490
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1491
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1492
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1493
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1494
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1495
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1496
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

1500
BUGFIXES:
1501
1502
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1503
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1504
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1505
1506
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1507
(Aaron Bentley)
1508
1509
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1510
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1511
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1512
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1513
1514
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1515
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1516
#83954).
1517
1518
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1519
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1520
1521
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1522
1523
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1524
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1525
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1526
1527
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1528
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)

1530
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1531

1533
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1534

* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1537
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1538

1542
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)

1553
IMPROVEMENTS:
1554
1555
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1556
1557
BUG FIXES:
1558
1559
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1560
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1561
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1562
1563
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1564
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1565
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1568
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1569
=======================
1570
1571
IMPROVEMENTS:
1572
1573
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1574
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1575
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1576
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1577
1578
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1579
(Marius Kruger)
1580
1581
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1582
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1583
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1584
1585
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1586
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1587
1588
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1589
(Aaron Bentley)
1590
1591
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1592
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1593
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1594
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1595
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1596
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1597
1598
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1599
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1600
should enable you to do::
1601
1602
[/home/user/project]
1603
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1604
push_location:policy = appendpath
1605
1606
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1607
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1608
(James Henstridge)
1609
1610
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1611
for each file. For example::
1612
1613
$ bzr status --short
1614
A foo
1615
A bar
1616
D baz
1617
? wooley
1618
1619
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1620
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1621
1622
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1623
1624
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1625
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1626
1627
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1628
1629
INTERNALS:
1630
1631
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1632
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1633
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1634
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1635
1636
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1637
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1638
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1639
1640
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1641
1642
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1643
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1644
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1645
(Alexander Belchenko)
1646
1647
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1648
Pool)
1649
1650
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1651
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1652
1653
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1654
1655
BUG FIXES:
1656
1657
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1658
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1659
1660
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1661
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1662
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1663
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1664
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1665
1666
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1667
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1668
1669
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1670
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1671
1672
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1673
matcher.
1674
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1675
1676
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1677
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1678
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1679
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1680
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1681
1682
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1683
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1684
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1685
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1686
1687
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1688
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1689
1690
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1691
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1692
1693
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1694
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
1709
1710
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1711
tree from a branch.
1712
(Daniel Silverstone)
1713
1714
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1715
operations are substantially faster.
1716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1717
1718
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1719
tree from some other url. For example:
1720
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1721
(Daniel Silverstone)
1722
1723
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1724
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1725
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1726
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1727
1728
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1729
(Andrew Bennetts)
1730
1731
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1732
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1733
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1734
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1735
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1736
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1737
1738
INTERNALS:
1739
1740
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1741
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1742
(Martin Pool)
1743
1744
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1745
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1746
(John Arbash Meinel)
1747
1748
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1749
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1750
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1751
(John Arbash Meinel)
1752
1753
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1754
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1755
1756
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1757
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1758
1759
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1760
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1761
Bennetts)
1762
1763
BUG FIXES:
1764
1765
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1766
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1767
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1768
1769
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1770
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1771
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1772
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1773
1774
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1775
1776
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1777
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1778
1779
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1780
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1781
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1783
1784
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1785
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1786
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1787
1788
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1789
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1790
them as full references rather than integers.
1791
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1792
1793
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1794
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1795
1796
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1797
1798
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1799
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1800
1801
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1802
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1803
1804
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1805
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1806
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1807
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1808
1809
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1810
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1811
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1812
1813
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1814
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1815
1816
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1817
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1818
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1819
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1820
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1821
1822
TESTING:
1823
1824
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1825
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1842
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1843
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1844
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1845
1846
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1847
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1848
1849
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1850
1851
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1852
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1853
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1854
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1855
1856
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1857
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1858
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1859
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1860
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1861
1862
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1863
1864
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1865
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1866
1867
INTERNALS:
1868
1869
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1870
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1871
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1872
1873
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1874
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1875
(John Arbash Meinel)
1876
1877
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1878
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1879
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1880
1881
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1882
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1883
(Aaron Bentley)
1884
1885
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1886
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1887
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1888
1889
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1890
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1891
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1892
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1893
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1894
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1895
1896
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1897
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1898
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1899
(Robert Collins)
1900
1901
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1902
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1903
1904
BUG FIXES:
1905
1906
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1907
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1908
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1909
#63360, #66349)
1910
1911
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1912
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1913
1914
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1915
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1916
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1917
1918
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1919
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1920
1921
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1922
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1923
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1924
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1925
1926
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1927
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1928
1929
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1930
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1931
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1932
1933
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1934
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1935
1936
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1937
1938
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1939
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1940
#32054)
1941
1942
TESTING:
1943
1944
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1945
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1946
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1947
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1948
1949
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1950
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1951
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1952
1953
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

====================
1955
1956
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).

=======================
1960
1961
BUG FIXES:
1962
1963
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1964
1965
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1966
Arbash Meinel).
1967
1968
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1969
=======================
1970
1971
IMPROVEMENTS:
1972
1973
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1974
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1975
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1976
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1977
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1978
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1979
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1980
1981
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1982
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1983
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1984
1985
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1986
1987
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1988
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1989
1990
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1991
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1992
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1993
(Robert Collins)
1994
1995
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1996
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1997
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1998
(John Arbash Meinel)
1999
2000
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2001
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2002
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2003
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2004
Pool)
2005
2006
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2007
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2008
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2009
(John Arbash Meinel)
2010
2011
BUG FIXES:
2012
2013
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2014
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2015
2016
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2017
2018
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2019
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2020
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2021
2022
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2023
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2024
2025
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2026
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2027
2028
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2030
2031
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2032
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2033
2034
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2035
2036
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2037
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2038
2039
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2040
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2041
2042
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2043
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2044
2045
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2046
(John Arbash Meinel)
2047
2048
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2049
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2050
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2051
2052
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2053
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2054
2055
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2056
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2057
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2058
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2059
2060
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2061
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2062
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2063
2064
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2065
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2066
2067
PORTABILITY:
2068
2069
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2070
2071
INTERNALS:
2072
2073
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2074
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2075
(John Arbash Meinel)
2076
2077
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2078
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2079
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2080
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2081
2082
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2083
(Andrew Bennetts)
2084
2085
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2086
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2087
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2088
2089
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2090
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2091
2092
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2093
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2094
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2095
2096
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2097
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2098
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2099
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2100
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2101
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2102
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2103
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2104
caller to repeat their request.
2105
(John Arbash Meinel)
2106
2107
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2108
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2109
2110
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2111
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2112
2113
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2114
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2115
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2116
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2117
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2118
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2119
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2120
2121
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2122
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2123
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2124
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2125
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2126
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2127
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2128
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2129
(Robert Collins)
2130
2131
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2132
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2133
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2134
2135
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2136
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2137
2138
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2139
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2140
2141
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2142
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2143
2144
TESTING:
2145
2146
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2147
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2148
2149
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2150
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2151
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2152
2153
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2154
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2155
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2156
2157
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2158
====================
2159
2160
IMPROVEMENTS:
2161
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2162
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2163
2164
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2165
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2166
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2167
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2168
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2169
2170
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2171
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2172
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2173
2174
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2175
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2176
2177
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2178
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2179
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2180
2181
BUG FIXES:
2182
2183
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2184
2185
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2186
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2187
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2188
2189
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2190
2191
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2192
2193
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2194
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2195
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2196
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2197
2198
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2199
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2200
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2201
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2202
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2203
2204
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2205
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2206
2207
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2208
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2209
2210
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2211
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2212
2213
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2214
in handling of revision properties.
2215
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2216
2217
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2218
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2219
2220
INTERNALS:
2221
2222
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2223
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2224
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2225
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2226
(John Arbash Meinel)
2227
2228
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2229
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2230
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2231
2232
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2233
=====================
2234
2235
SURPRISES:
2236
2237
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2238
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2239
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2240
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2241
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2242
a more conservative list than the old default.
2243
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2244
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2245
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2246
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2247
2248
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2249
to more locations than just branch locations.
2250
(Aaron Bentley)
2251
2252
IMPROVEMENTS:
2253
2254
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2255
revno:N:branch. For example,
2256
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2257
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2258
2259
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2260
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2261
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2262
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2263
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2264
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2265
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2266
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,

2269
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2270
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2271
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2272
(Malone #3507)
2273
2274
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2275
(Alexander Belchenko)
2276
2277
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2278
2279
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2280
(Robert Collins).
2281
2282
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2283
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2284
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2285
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2286
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2287
(John Arbash Meinel)
2288
2289
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2290
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2291
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2292
grained analysis of performance.
2293
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2294
2295
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2296
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2297
2298
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2299
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2300
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2301
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2302
file. (Robert Collins).
2303
2304
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2305
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2306
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2307
2308
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2309
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2310
Matthieu Moy)
2311
2312
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2313
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2314
2315
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2316
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2317
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2318
the same way you would apply another branch.
2319
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2320
2321
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2322
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2323
2324
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2325
(Michael Ellerman)
2326
2327
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2328
(Aaron Bentley)
2329
2330
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2331
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2332
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2333
2334
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2335
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2336
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2337
2338
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2339
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2340
2341
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2342
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2343
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2344
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2345
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2346
2347
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2348
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2349
2350
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2351
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2352
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2353
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2354
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2355
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2356
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2357
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2358
2359
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2360
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2361
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2362
2363
BUG FIXES:
2364
2365
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2366
tests not to run.
2367
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2368
2369
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2370
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2371
2372
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2373
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2374
2375
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2376
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2377
2378
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2379
2380
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2381
(John Arbash Meinel)
2382
2383
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2384
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2385
2386
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2387
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2388
and y.
2389
2390
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2391
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2392
2393
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2394
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2395
2396
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2397
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2398
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2399
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2400
2401
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2402
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2403
2404
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2405
2406
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2407
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2408
2409
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2410
2411
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2412
2413
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2414
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2415
2416
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2417
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2418
2419
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2420
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2421
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2422
2423
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2424
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2425
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2426
2427
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2428
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2429
2430
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2431
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2432
2433
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2434
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2435
2436
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2437
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2438
2439
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2440
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2441
2442
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2443
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2444
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2445
2446
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2447
2448
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2449
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2450
2451
INTERNALS:
2452
2453
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2454
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2455
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2456
2457
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2458
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2459
2460
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2461
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2462
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2463
2464
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2465
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2466
2467
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2468
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2469
(Martin Pool)
2470
2471
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2472
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2473
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2474
2475
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2476
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2477
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2478
2479
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2480
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2481
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2482
2483
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2484
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2485
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2486
2487
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2488
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2489
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2490
2491
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2492
instead. (Robert Collins)
2493
2494
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2509
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2510
2511
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2512
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2513
2514
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2515
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
2528
2529
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2530
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from

2532
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2533
2534
NEW FEATURES:
2535
2536
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2537
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

INTERNALS:
2541
2542

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2545
2546

2551
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2552
===================
2553
2554
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2555
2556
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2557
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2558
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2559
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2560
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2561
will keep the same format.
2562
2563
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2564
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2565
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2566
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2567
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2568
2569
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2570
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2571
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2572
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2573
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2574
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2575
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2576
2577
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2578
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2579
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2580
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2581
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2582
2583
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2584
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2585
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2586
arrangement.
2587
2588
2589
IMPROVEMENTS:
2590
2591
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2592
convention. Paths now take the form::
2593
2594
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2595
or
2596
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2597
2598
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2599
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2600
2601
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2602
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2603
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2604
2605
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2606
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2607
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2608
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2609
2610
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2611
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2612
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2613
2614
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2615
2616
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2617
2618
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2619
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2620
commits::
2621
2622
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2623
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2624
| xargs bzr re-sign
2625
2626
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2627
2628
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2629
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2630
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2631
(Robert Collins)
2632
2633
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2634
2635
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2636
2637
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2638
'.moved'.
2639
2640
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2641
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2642
2643
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2644
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2645
Daniel Silverstone)
2646
2647
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2648
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2649
Martin Pool)
2650
2651
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2652
2653
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2654
2655
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2656
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2657
2658
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2659
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2660
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2661
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2662
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2663
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2664
2665
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2666
2667
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2668
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2669
(Robert Collins)
2670
2671
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2672
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2673
2674
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2675
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2676
2677
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2678
2679
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2680
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2681
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2682
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2683
specification by Martin Pool.
2684
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2685
2686
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2687
Belchenko)
2688
2689
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2690
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2691
2692
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2693
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2694
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2695
2696
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2697
2698
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2699
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2700
(Robert Collins)
2701
2702
CHANGES:
2703
2704
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2705
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2706
2707
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2708
2709
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2710
2711
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2712
(Olaf Conradi)
2713
2714
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2715
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2716
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2717
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2718
2719
INTERNALS:
2720
2721
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2722
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2723
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2724
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2725
2726
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2727
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2728
tried. (Martin Pool)
2729
2730
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2731
(Martin Pool)
2732
2733
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2734
2735
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2736
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2737
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2738
2739
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2740
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2741
2742
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2743
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2744
paths. (Robert Collins)
2745
2746
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2747
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2748
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2749
2750
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2751
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2752
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2753
2754
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2755
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2756
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2757
2758
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2759
(Olaf Conradi)
2760
2761
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2762
(Olaf Conradi)
2763
2764
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2765
2766
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2767
2768
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2769
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2770
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2771
(Robert Collins)
2772
2773
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2774
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2775
2776
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2777
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2778
check. (Robert Collins)
2779
2780
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2781
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2782
2783
TESTING:
2784
2785
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2786
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2787
2788
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2789
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2790
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2791
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2792
2793
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2794
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2795
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2796
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2797
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2798
2799
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2800
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2801
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2802
2803
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2804
2805
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2806
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2809
==================
2810
2811
CHANGES:
2812
2813
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2814
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2815
2816
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2817
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2818
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2819
(Johan Rydberg)
2820
2821
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2822
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2823
2824
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2825
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2826
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2827
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2828
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2829
2830
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2831
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2832
used. (Robert Collins)
2833
2834
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2835
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2836
(James Henstridge)
2837
2838
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2839
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2840
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2841
2842
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2843
ignore list.
2844
2845
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2846
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2847
2848
IMPROVEMENTS:
2849
2850
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2851
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2852
2853
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2854
2855
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2856
2857
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2858
tree. (Robert Collins)
2859
2860
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2861
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2862
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2863
(Robert Collins)
2864
2865
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2866
that they be kept.
2867
2868
* Tweaks to short log printing
2869
2870
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2871
(Aaron Bentley)
2872
2873
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2874
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2875
2876
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2877
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2878
2879
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2880
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2881
2882
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2883
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2884
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2885
2886
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2887
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2888
2889
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2890
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2891
requests.
2892
2893
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2894
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2895
2896
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2897
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2898
2899
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2900
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2901
2902
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2903
(Denys Duchier)
2904
2905
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2906
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2907
2908
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2909
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2910
2911
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2912
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2913
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2914
2915
BUG FIXES:
2916
2917
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2918
2919
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2920
2921
* Error when run with -OO
2922
2923
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2924
(Martin Pool)
2925
2926
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2927
2928
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2929
2930
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2931
ignored by diff and status
2932
2933
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2934
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2935
2936
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2937
2938
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2939
2940
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2941
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2942
2943
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2944
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2945
2946
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2947
(Harald Meland)
2948
2949
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2950
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2951
2952
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2953
2954
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2955
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2956
2957
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2958
(Martin Pool)
2959
2960
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2961
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2962
2963
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2964
2965
TESTING:
2966
2967
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2968
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2969
2970
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2971
2972
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2973
2974
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2975
2976
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2977
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2978
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2979
2980
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2981
2982
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2983
(John Arbash Meinel)
2984
2985
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2986
2987
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2988
If adding a new test script please add that to
2989
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2990
2991
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2992
imported. (Martin Pool)
2993
2994
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2995
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2996
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2997
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2998
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2999
(Robert Collins)
3000
3001
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3002
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3003
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3004
3005
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3006
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3007
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3008
3009
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3010
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3011
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3012
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3013
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3014
(Robert Collins).
3015
3016
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3017
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3018
(Robert Collins).
3019
3020
INTERNALS:
3021
3022
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3023
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3024
3025
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3026
function. (Robert Collins)
3027
3028
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3029
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3030
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3031
3032
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3033
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3034
(Robert Collins)
3035
3036
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3037
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3038
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3039
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3040
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3041
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3042
version. (Robert Collins)
3043
3044
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3045
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3046
3047
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3048
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3049
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3050
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3051
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3052
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3053
3054
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3055
(Robert Collins)
3056
3057
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3058
3059
add()
3060
commit()
3061
move()
3062
rename_one()
3063
unknowns()
3064
3065
(Robert Collins)
3066
3067
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3068
3069
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3070
3071
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3072
Pool)
3073
3074
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3075
query method. (Robert Collins)
3076
3077
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3078
(Denys Duchier)
3079
3080
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3081
(Michael Ellerman)
3082
3083
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3084
(Michael Ellerman)
3085
3086
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3087
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3088
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3089
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3090
3091
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3092
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3093
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3094
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3095
3096
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3097
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

==================
3101
3102
IMPROVEMENTS:
3103
3104
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3105
(John A Meinel)
3106
3107
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3108
conflicts.
3109
(Aaron Bentley)
3110
3111
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3112
a separator, not ':'.
3113
(Aaron Bentley)
3114
3115
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3116
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3117
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3118
3119
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3120
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3121
(Robert Collins)
3122
3123
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3124
has been added that suppresses all output.
3125
3126
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3127
Adams.
3128
3129
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3130
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3131
3132
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3133
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3134
3135
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3136
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3137
3138
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3139
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3140
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3141
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3142
3143
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3144
3145
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3146
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3147
3148
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3149
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3150
3151
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3152
output directory, if one was supplied.
3153
3154
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3155
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3156
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3157
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3158
3159
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3160
3161
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3162
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3163
3164
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3165
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3166
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3167
3168
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3169
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3170
3171
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3172
(Aaron Bentley)
3173
3174
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3175
3176
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3177
3178
TESTING:
3179
3180
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3181
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3182
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3183
3184
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3185
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3186
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3187
3188
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3189
is given. (Martin Pool)
3190
3191
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3192
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3193
file. (Robert Collins)
3194
3195
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.

* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3201
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3202
representation. (Martin Pool).
3203
3204
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3205
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3206
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3207
3208
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3209
(Robert Collins)
3210
3211
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3212
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3213
Magnus Therning.
3214
3215
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3216
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3217
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3218
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3219
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3220
3221
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3222
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3223
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3224
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3225
python path. (Robert Collins)
3226
3227
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3228
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3229
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3230
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3231
3232
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3233
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3234
3235
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3236
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3237
(Robert Collins)
3238
3239
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3240
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3241
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3242
3243
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3244
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3245
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3246
3247
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3248
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3249
3250
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3251
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3252
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3253
(Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3256
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3257
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3258
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3259
(Robert Collins)
3260
3261
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3262
(Robert Collins)
3263
3264
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3265
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3266
(Robert Collins)
3267
3268
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3269
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3270
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3271
3272
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3273
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3274
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3275
3276
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3277
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3278
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3279
3280
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3281
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3282
3283
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3284
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3285
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3286
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3287
caller. (Robert Collins)
3288
3289
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3290
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3291
(Robert Collins).
3292
3293
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3294
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3295
(Aaron Bentley)
3296
3297
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3298
3299
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3300
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3301
3302
BUG FIXES:
3303
3304
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3305
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3306
3307
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3308
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3311
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3312
====================
3313
3314
BUG FIXES:
3315
3316
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3317
allow directories to be listed.
3318
3319
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3320
upgrading branch format.
3321
3322
PERFORMANCE:
3323
3324
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3325
3326
3327
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3328
==================
3329
3330
NOTES:
3331
3332
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3333
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3334
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3335
high-latency connections.
3336
3337
BUG FIXES:
3338
3339
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3340
Rob Weir.
3341
3342
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3343
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3344
3345
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3346
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3347
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3348
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3349
3350
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3351
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3352
3353
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3354
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3355
3356
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3357
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3358
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3359
3360
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3361
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3362
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3363
Robert Collins
3364
3365
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3366
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3367
3368
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3369
different partial views of history.
3370
3371
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3372
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3373
3374
IMPROVEMENTS:
3375
3376
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3377
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3378
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3379
3380
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3381
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3382
'bzr upgrade'.
3383
3384
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3385
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3386
3387
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3388
Niemeyer.
3389
3390
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3391
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3392
3393
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3394
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3395
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3396
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3397
3398
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3399
3400
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3401
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3402
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3403
3404
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3405
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3406
3407
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3408
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3409
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3410
3411
3412
INTERNALS:
3413
3414
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3415
for your viewing pleasure.
3416
3417
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3418
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3419
3420
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3421
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3422
handling of such circumstances.
3423
3424
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3425
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3426
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3427
3428
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3429
3430
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3431
we call them revisions not patches.
3432
3433
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3434
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3435
3436
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3437
giving the revision *of that file*.
3438
3439
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3440
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3441
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3442
3443
TESTING:
3444
3445
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3446
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3447
3448
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3449
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3450
3451
3452
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3453
====================
3454
3455
BUG FIXES:
3456
3457
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3458
3459
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3460
(Robert Collins).
3461
3462
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3463
3464
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3465
3466
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3467
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3468
3469
IMPROVEMENTS:
3470
3471
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3472
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3473
3474
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3475
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3476
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3477
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3478
Robey Pointer
3479
3480
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3481
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3482
3483
INTERNALS:
3484
3485
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3486
3487
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3488
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3489
3490
3491
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3492
====================
3493
3494
IMPROVEMENTS:
3495
3496
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3497
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3498
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3499
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3500
Michael Ellerman.
3501
3502
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3503
(Nir Soffer)
3504
3505
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3506
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3507
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3508
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3509
for the operating system is still tried.
3510
3511
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3512
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3513
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3514
3515
3516
INTERNALS:
3517
3518
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3519
3520
BUG FIXES:
3521
3522
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3523
3524
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3525
branch.
3526
3527
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3528
read.
3529
3530
3531
PORTABILITY:
3532
3533
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3534
3535
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3536
3537
3538
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3539
====================
3540
3541
NEW FEATURES:
3542
3543
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3544
help with intelligent shell completion.
3545
3546
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3547
3548
3549
ENHANCEMENTS:
3550
3551
* Much better merge support.
3552
3553
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3554
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3555
like emacs smerge.
3556
3557
3558
BUG FIXES:
3559
3560
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3561
mention revisions that are not present.
3562
3563
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3564
3565
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3566
3567
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3568
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3569
3570
3571
CHANGES:
3572
3573
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3574
3575
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3576
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3577
--help themselves.
3578
3579
3580
LIBRARY:
3581
3582
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3583
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3584
libraries.
3585
3586
3587
3588
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3589
====================
3590
3591
NEW FEATURES:
3592
3593
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3594
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3595
3596
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3597
3598
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3599
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3600
3601
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3602
FOO.
3603
3604
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3605
3606
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3607
the Unix command.
3608
3609
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3610
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3611
3612
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3613
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3614
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3615
3616
3617
ENHANCEMENTS:
3618
3619
* Faster working tree operations.
3620
3621
3622
CHANGES:
3623
3624
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3625
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3626
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3627
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3628
3629
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3630
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3631
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3632
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3633
standard plugins directory.
3634
3635
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3636
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3637
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3638
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3639
3640
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3641
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3642
3643
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3644
disk.
3645
3646
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3647
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3648
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3649
3650
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3651
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3652
3653
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3654
line options must come before the command name because they
3655
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3656
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3657
it.
3658
3659
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3660
3661
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3662
is available with ``--short``.
3663
3664
3665
BUG FIXES:
3666
3667
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3668
3669
3670
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3671
=====================
3672
3673
CHANGES:
3674
3675
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3676
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3677
3678
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3679
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3680
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3681
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3682
3683
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3684
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3685
with the ``--forward`` option.
3686
3687
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3688
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3689
field.
3690
3691
3692
ENHANCEMENTS:
3693
3694
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3695
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3696
3697
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3698
3699
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3700
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3701
3702
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3703
3704
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3705
either read or write mode.
3706
3707
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3708
3709
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3710
affected that file.
3711
3712
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3713
3714
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3715
suggested by LarstiQ.
3716
3717
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3718
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3719
3720
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3721
a filename.
3722
3723
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3724
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3725
3726
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3727
haven't changed since the previous time.
3728
3729
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3730
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3731
3732
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3733
3734
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3735
3736
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3737
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3738
3739
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3740
options through to an external GNU diff.
3741
3742
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3743
their contents.
3744
3745
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3746
from a branch.
3747
3748
3749
BUG FIXES:
3750
3751
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3752
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3753
3754
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3755
metacharacters.
3756
3757
3758
TESTING:
3759
3760
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3761
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3762
the tests.
3763
3764
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3765
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3766
3767
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3768
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3769
3770
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3771
under a different version.
3772
3773
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3774
3775

3780
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3781
Scott James Remnant.
3782
3783
* Better help messages for many commands.
3784
3785
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3786
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3787
3788
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3789
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3790
3791
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3792
3793
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3794
3795
* New AtomicFile class.
3796
3797
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3798
3799
3800
PORTABILITY:
3801
3802

3803
2.4 is now only recommended.

3807
=====================
3808
3809
ENHANCEMENTS:
3810
3811
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3812
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3813
3814
* More default ignore patterns.
3815
3816
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3817
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3818
3819
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3820
3821
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3822
by Jason Diamon.
3823
3824
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3825
3826
3827
CHANGES:
3828
3829
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3830
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3831
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3832
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3833
there are DNS problems.
3834
3835
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3836
3837
3838
BUG FIXES:
3839
3840
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3841
3842

3845
trailing newlines properly.
3846
3847
3848
INTERNAL:
3849
3850
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3851
Matt Brubeck.
3852
3853
* More tests in test.sh.
3854
3855
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3856
directory and delete it when done.
3857
3858
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3859
3860
3861
PORTABILITY:
3862
3863
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3864
Bennetts.
3865
3866
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3867
from QuantumG.

3890
CHANGES:
3891
3892
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3893
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3894
will do for now.)
3895
3896
PORTABILITY:
3897
3898
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3899
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3900
Nielsen.

3931
* More help topics.
3932
3933
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3934
branch.
3935
3936
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3937
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3938
3939
* Performance improvements.
3940
3941
* New global --profile option.
3942
3943
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in

3968
installation easier.
3969
3970

3971
supported).
