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
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
18
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
19
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
20
(Ian Clatworthy)
21
22
FEATURES:
23
24
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
25
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
26
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
27
(Lukáš Lalinský)
28
29
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
30
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
31
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
32
33
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
34
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
35
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
36
37
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
38
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
39
40
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
41
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
42
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
43
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
44
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
45
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
46
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
47
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
48
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
49
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
50
51
BUG FIXES:
52
53
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
54
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
55
56
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
57
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
58
59
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
60
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
61
62
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
63
(Aaron Bentley)
64
65
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
66
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
67
68
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
69
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
70
71
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
72
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
73
74
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
75
(Blake Winton, #129299)
76
77
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
78
79
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
80
Watkins, #106726)
81
82
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
83
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
84
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
85
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
86
87
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
88
89
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
90
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
91
#133548)
92
93
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
94
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
95
96
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
97
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
98
#116143)
99
100
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
101
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
102
103
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
104
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
105
106
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees.
107
Now it will remove (without needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no
108
files with text changes or modified files.
109
With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of text changes or
110
unknown files.
111
Directories with renames in or out (but not changed otherwise)
112
will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
113
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
114
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
115
116
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
117
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
118
119
IMPROVEMENTS:
120
121
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
122
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
123
124
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
125
(Aaron Bentley)
126
127
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
128
(Aaron Bentley)
129
130
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
131
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
132
133
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
134
135
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
136
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
137
138
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
139
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
140
141
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
142
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
143
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
144
space). (Robert Collins)
145
146
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
147
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
148
(Ian Clatworthy)
149
150
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
151
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
152
153
API BREAKS:
154
155
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
156
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
157
158
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
159
previous release. (Martin Pool)
160
161
TESTING:
162
163
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
164
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
165
166
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
167
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
168
169
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
170
previous release. (Martin Pool)
171
172
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
173
(Aaron Bentley)
174
175
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
176
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
177
178
INTERNALS:
179
180
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
181
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
182
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
183
its version information. (Robert Collins)
184
185
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
186
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
187
188
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
189
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
190
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
191
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
192
193
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
194
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
195
(Robert Collins)
196
197
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
198
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
201
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
202
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
203
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
204
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
205
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
206
207
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
208
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
209
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
210
211
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
212
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
213
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
214
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
215
protocol.
216
217
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
218
(Aaron Bentley)
219
220
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
221
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
222
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
223
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
224
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
225
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
226
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
227
228
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
229
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
230
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
231
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
232
233
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
234
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
235
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
236
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
237
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
238
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
239

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
242
===================
243
244
IMPROVEMENTS:
245
246
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
247
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
248
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
249
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
250
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
251
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
252
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
253
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
254
255
256
API CHANGES:
257
258
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
259
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
260
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
261
262
263
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
264
======================
265
266
BUGFIXES:
267
268
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
269
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
270
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
271
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
272
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
273
274
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
275
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
276
277
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
278
anymore.
279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
280
281
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
282
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
283
(Vincent Ladeuil)
284
285
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
286
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
287
#111664)
288
289
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
290
(Lukáš Lalinský)
291
292
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
293
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
294
295
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
296
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
297
298
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
299
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
300
301
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
302
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
303
304
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
305
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
306
307
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
308
(Aaron Bentley)
309
310
IMPROVEMENTS:
311
312
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
313
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
314
315
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
316
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
317
318
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
319
the repository (Robert Collins)
320
321
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
322
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
323
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
324
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
325
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
326
327
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
328
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
329
330
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
331
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
332
(John Arbash Meinel)
333
334
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
335
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
336
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
337
about 10%).
338
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
339
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
340
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
341
(John Arbash Meinel)
342
343
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
344
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
345
(Robert Collins)
346
347
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
348
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
349
350
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
351
(Ian Clatworthy)
352
353
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
354
355
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
356
357
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
358
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
359
360
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
361
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
362
Meinel)
363
364
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
365
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
366
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
367
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
368
369
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
370
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
371
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
372
373
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
374
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
375
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
376
377
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
378
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
379
380
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
381
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
382
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
383
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
384
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
385
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
386
(Ian Clatworthy)
387
388
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
389
(Alexander Belchenko)
390
391
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
392
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
393
394
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
395
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
396
397
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
398
399
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
400
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
401
402
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
403
404
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
405
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
406
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
407
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
408
409
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
410
411
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
412
(Robert Collins)
413
414
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
415
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
416
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
417
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
418
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
419
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
420
421
INTERNALS:
422
423
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
424
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
425
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
426
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
427
428
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
429
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
430
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
431
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
432
tests have been refactored too.
433
(Vincent Ladeuil)
434
435
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
436
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
437
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
438
list, it will.
439
(Vincent Ladeuil)
440
441
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
442
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
443
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
444
445
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
446
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
447
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
448
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
449
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
450
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
451
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
452
453
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
454
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
455
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
456
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
457
(John Arbash Meinel)
458
459
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
460
functionality for testing.
461
462
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
463
464
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
465
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
466
467
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
468
469
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
470
(Robert Collins)
471
472
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
473
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
474
475
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
476
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
477
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
478
479
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
480
(Aaron Bentley)
481
482
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
483
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
484
485
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
486
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
487
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
488
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
489
490
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
491
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
492
493
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
494
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
495
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
496
497
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
498
(Marius Kruger)
499
500
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
501
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
502
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
503
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
504
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
505
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
506
507
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
508
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
509
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
510
many files. (Robert Collins)
511
512
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
513
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
514
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
515
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
516
517
TESTING:
518
519
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
520
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
521
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
522
523
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
524
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
525
526
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
527
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
528
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

544
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
545
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
546
547
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
548
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
549
(James Westby, #122656)
550
551
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
552
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
553
554
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
555

556
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)

* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
559
560
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
561
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
562
563
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
564
565
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
566
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
567
568
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
569
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
571

* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
573
individually and as part of revision ranges.
574
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
575
576
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
577
(Martin Pool, #109169)
578
579
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
580
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
581
582
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
583
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
584
585
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
586
587
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
588
589
IMPROVEMENTS:
590
591
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
592
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
593
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
594
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
595
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
596
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
597
598
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
599
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
600
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
601
602
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
603
(Elliot Murphy)
604
605
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
606
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
607
608
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
609
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
610
611
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
612
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
613
614
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
615
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
616
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
617
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
618
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
619
620
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
621
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
622
623
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
624
can be slow it is useful feedback).
625
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
626
627
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
628
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
629
630
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
631
632
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
633
output. (Aaron Bentley)
634
635
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
636
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
637
(Robert Collins)
638
639
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
640
(Martin Pool)
641
642
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
643
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
644
645
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
646
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
647
648
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
649
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
650
651
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
652
653
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
654
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
655
656
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
657
(Andrew Bennetts)
658
659
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
660
661
* Testing cleanups -
662
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
663
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
664
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
665
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
666
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
667
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
668
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
669
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
670
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
671
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
672
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
673
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
674
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
675
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
676
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
677
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
678
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
679
(Robert Collins)
680
681
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
682
683
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
684
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
685
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
686
687
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
688
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
689
690
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
691
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
692
693
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
694
695
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
696
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
697
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
698
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
699
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
700
same location. (Robert Collins)
701
702
INTERNALS:
703
704
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
705
706
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
707
708
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
709
710
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
711
(Martin Pool)
712
713
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
714
(Martin Pool)
715
716
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
717
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
718
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
719
720
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
721
722
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
723
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
724
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
725
726
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
727
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
728
729
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
730
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
731
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
732
733
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
734
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
735
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
736
737
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
738
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
739
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
740
741
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
742
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
743
Martin Pool)
744
745
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
746
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
747
748
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
749
(Alexander Belchenko)
750
751
TESTING:
752
753
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
754
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
755
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
756
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
757
758
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
759
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
760
testing. (Robert Collins)
761
762
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
763
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
764
765
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
766
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
767
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
768
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
769
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
770
attribute during the test parameterisation in
771
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
772
773
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
774
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
775
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
776
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
777
778
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
779
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
780
781
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
782
avoid useless cloning.

=======================

801
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
802
803
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
804
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
805
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
806
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
807
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
808
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
809
and unlock() like so::
810
811
work_tree.lock_read()
812
try:
813
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
814
finally:
815
work_tree.unlock()
816
817
INTERNALS:
818
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
819
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
820
object.
821
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
822
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
823
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
824
825
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
826
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
827
too. (Robert Collins)
828
829
IMPROVEMENTS:
830
831
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
832
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
833
Aaron Bentley)
834
835
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
836
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
837
838
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
839
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
840
841
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
842
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
843
understanding what changes have occurred
844
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
845
846
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
847
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
848
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
849
850
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
851
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
852
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
853
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
854
855
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
856
#56322)
857
858
BUGFIXES:
859
860
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
861
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
862
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
863
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
864
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
865
866
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
867
based on split paths, not just string paths.
868
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
869
870
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
872
873
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
874
into account.
875
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
876
877
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
878
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
879
880
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
881
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
882
883
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
884
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
885
886
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
887
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
888
889
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
890
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
891
892
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
893
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
894
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
897
====================
898
899
BUGFIXES:
900
901
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
902
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
903
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
904
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
905
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
906
907
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
908
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
909
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
910
911
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
912
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
913
914
IMPROVEMENTS:
915
916
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
917
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
918
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
919
920
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
921
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
922
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
923
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

929
930
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
931
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
932
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
933
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
934
935
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
936
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
937
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
938
939
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
940
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
941
942
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
943
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
944
945
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
946
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

949
=======================
950
951
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
952
953
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
954
it could be recovered again.
955
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
956
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
957
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
958
but not delete it.
959
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
960
files.
961
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
962
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
963
964
IMPROVEMENTS:
965
966
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
967
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
968
969
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
970
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
971
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
972
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
973
974
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
975
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
976
977
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
978
tests with names that match that regular expression.
979
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
980
981
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
982
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
983
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
984
985
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
986
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
987
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
988
989
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
990
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
991
Robert Collins)
992
993
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
994
Pool)
995
996
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
997
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
998
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
999
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1000
1001
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1002
(Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1005
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1006
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1007
(Robert Collins)
1008
1009
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1010
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1011
1012
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1013
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1014
1015
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1016
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1017
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1018
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1019
(Robert Collins)
1020
1021
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1022
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1023
1024
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1025
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1026
1027
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1028
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1029
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1030
1031
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1032
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1033
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1034
1035
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1036
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1037
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1038
1039
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1040
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1041
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1042
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1043
1044
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1045
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1046
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1047
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1048
1049
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1050
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1051
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1052
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1053
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1054
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1055
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1056
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1057
header(s).
1058
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1059
1060
INTERNALS:
1061
1062
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1063
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1064
1065
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1066
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1067
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1068
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1069
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1070
1071
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1072
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1073
1074
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1075
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1076
1077
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1078
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1079
1080
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1081
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1082
1083
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1084
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1085
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1086
(Robert Collins).
1087
1088
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1089
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1090
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1091
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1092
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1093
(Robert Collins)
1094
1095
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1096
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1097
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1098
1099
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1100
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1101
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1102
1103
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1104
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1105
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1106
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1107
1108
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1109
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1110
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1111
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1112
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1113
1114
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1115
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1116
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1117
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1118
1119
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1120
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1121
1122
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1123
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1124
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1125
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1126
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1127
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1128
1129
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1130
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1131
1132
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1133
help. (Robert Collins)
1134
1135
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1136
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1137
1138
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1139
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1140
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1141
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1142
(John Arbash Meinel)
1143
1144
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1145
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1146
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1147
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1148
useful. (Robert Collins)
1149
1150
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1151
(Andrew Bennetts)
1152
1153
BUGFIXES:
1154
1155
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1156
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1157
1158
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1159
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1160
1161
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1162
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1163
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1164
1165
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1166
(Aaron Bentley)
1167
1168
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1169
the file, and does it faster.
1170
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1171
1172
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1173
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1174
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1175
1176
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1177
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1178
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1179
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1180
1181
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1182
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1183
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1184
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1185
1186
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1187
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1188
1189
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1190
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1191
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1192
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1193
Arbash Meinel)
1194
1195
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1196
1197
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1198
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1199
1200
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1201
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1202
1203
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1204
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1205
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1206
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1207
security hole.
1208
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1209
1210
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1212
1213
TESTING:
1214
1215
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1216
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1217
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1218
1219
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1220
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1221
1222
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1223
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1224
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1225
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1226
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1227
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1228
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1229
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1230
1231
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1232
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1233
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1234
1235
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1236
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1237
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1238
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1239
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1240
access.
1241
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1242
1243
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1244
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1245
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1246
1247
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1248
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

=======================
1265
1266
CHANGES:
1267
1268
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1269
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1270
(Martin Pool)
1271
1272
IMPROVEMENTS:
1273
1274
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1275
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1276
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1277
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1278
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1279
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1280
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1281
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1282
path. (vila)
1283
1284
INTERNALS:
1285
1286
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1287
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1288
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1289
1290
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1291
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1292
(Martin Pool)
1293
1294
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1295
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1296
(John Arbash Meinel)
1297
1298
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1299
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1300
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1301
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1302
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1303
1304
BUGFIXES:
1305
1306
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1307
(vila, #92195)
1308
1309
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1310
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1311
1312
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1313
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1314
1315
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1316
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1317
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1318
1319
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1320
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1321
1322
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1323
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1324
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1325
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1326
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1327
1328
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1329
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1330
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1331
1332
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1336
=======================
1337
1338
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1339
1340
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1341
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1342
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1343
1344
IMPROVEMENTS:
1345
1346
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1347
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1348
1349
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1350
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1351
1352
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1353
1354
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1355
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1356
1357
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1358
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1359
1360
INTERNALS:
1361
1362
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1363
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1364
1365
BUGFIXES:
1366
1367
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1368
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1369
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1370
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1371
1372
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1373
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1374
1375
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1376
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1377
1378
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.

* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1386
=======================
1387
1388
SURPRISES:
1389
1390
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1391
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1392
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1393
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1394
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1395
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1396
1397
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1398
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1399
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1400
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1401
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1402
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1403
development.
1404
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1405
1406
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1407
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1408
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1409
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1410
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1411
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1412
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1413
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1414
1415
IMPROVEMENTS:
1416
1417
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1418
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1419
1420
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1421
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1422
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1423
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1424
does exist.
1425
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1426
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1427
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1428
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1429
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1430
1431
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1432
(Aaron Bentley)
1433
1434
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1435
(Aaron Bentley)
1436
1437
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1438
(Robert Collins)
1439
1440
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1441
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1442
(Aaron Bentley)
1443
1444
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1445
(Aaron Bentley)
1446
1447
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1448
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1449
1450
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1451
directory. (Martin Pool)
1452
1453
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1454
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1455
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1456
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1457
1458
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1459
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1460
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1461
in docs/configuration.txt.
1462
1463
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1464
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1465
bind location.
1466
1467
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1468
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1469
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1470
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1471
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1472
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1473
1474
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1475
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1476
1477
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1478
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1479
1480
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1481
(Aaron Bentley)
1482
1483
INTERNALS:
1484
1485
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1486
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1487
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1488
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1489
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1490
(John Arbash Meinel)
1491
1492
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1493
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1494
(Aaron Bentley)
1495
1496
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1497
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1498
(John Arbash Meinel)
1499
1500
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1501
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1502
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1503
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1504
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1505
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1506
1507
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1508
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1509
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1510
1511
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1512
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1513
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1514
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1515
repository.
1516
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1517
1518
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1519
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1520
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1521
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1522
1523
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1524
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1525
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1526
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1527
1528
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1529
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1530
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1531
1532
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1533
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1534
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1535
1536
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1537
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1538
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1539
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1540
1541
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1542
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1543
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1544
1545
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1546
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1547
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1548
1549
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1550
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1551
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1552
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1553
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1554
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1555
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1556
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1557
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1558

1559
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1560
1561
BUGFIXES:
1562
1563
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1564
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1565
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1566
1567
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1568
(Aaron Bentley)
1569
1570
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1571
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1572
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1573
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1574
1575
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1576
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1577
#83954).
1578
1579
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1580
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1581
1582
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1583
1584
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1585
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1586
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1587
1588
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1589
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1590
1591
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1593
1594
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1595
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1596
1597
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1598
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1599
1600
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1601
1602
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1603
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1604
1605
TESTING:
1606
1607
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1608
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

1612
====================
1613
1614
IMPROVEMENTS:
1615
1616
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1617
1618
BUG FIXES:
1619
1620
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1621
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1622
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1623
1624
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1625
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1626
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1627
1628
1629
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1630
=======================
1631
1632
IMPROVEMENTS:
1633
1634
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1635
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1636
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1637
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1638
1639
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1640
(Marius Kruger)
1641
1642
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1643
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1644
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1645
1646
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1647
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1648
1649
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1650
(Aaron Bentley)
1651
1652
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1653
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1654
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1655
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1656
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1657
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1658
1659
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1660
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1661
should enable you to do::
1662
1663
[/home/user/project]
1664
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1665
push_location:policy = appendpath
1666
1667
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1668
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1669
(James Henstridge)
1670
1671
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1672
for each file. For example::
1673
1674
$ bzr status --short
1675
A foo
1676
A bar
1677
D baz
1678
? wooley
1679
1680
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1681
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1682
1683
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1684
1685
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1686
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1687
1688
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1689
1690
INTERNALS:
1691
1692
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1693
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1694
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1695
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1696
1697
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1698
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1699
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1700
1701
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1702
1703
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1704
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1705
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1706
(Alexander Belchenko)
1707
1708
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1709
Pool)
1710
1711
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1712
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1713
1714
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1715
1716
BUG FIXES:
1717
1718
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1719
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1720
1721
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1722
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1723
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1724
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1725
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1726
1727
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1728
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1729
1730
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1731
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1732
1733
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1734
matcher.
1735
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1736
1737
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1738
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1739
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1740
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1741
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1742
1743
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1744
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1745
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1746
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1747
1748
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1749
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1750
1751
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1752
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1753
1754
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1755
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1756
1757
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1770
1771
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1772
tree from a branch.
1773
(Daniel Silverstone)
1774
1775
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1776
operations are substantially faster.
1777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1778
1779
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1780
tree from some other url. For example:
1781
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1782
(Daniel Silverstone)
1783
1784
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1785
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1786
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1787
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1788
1789
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1790
(Andrew Bennetts)
1791
1792
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1793
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1794
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1795
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1796
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1797
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1798
1799
INTERNALS:
1800
1801
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1802
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1803
(Martin Pool)
1804
1805
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1806
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1807
(John Arbash Meinel)
1808
1809
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1810
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1811
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1812
(John Arbash Meinel)
1813
1814
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1815
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1816
1817
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1818
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1819
1820
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1821
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1822
Bennetts)
1823
1824
BUG FIXES:
1825
1826
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1827
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1828
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1829
1830
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1831
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1832
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1833
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1834
1835
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1836
1837
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1838
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1839
1840
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1841
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1842
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1844
1845
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1846
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1847
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1848
1849
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1850
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1851
them as full references rather than integers.
1852
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1853
1854
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1855
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1856
1857
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1858
1859
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1860
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1861
1862
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1863
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1864
1865
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1866
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1867
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1868
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1869
1870
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1871
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1872
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1873
1874
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1875
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1876
1877
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1878
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1879
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1880
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1881
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1882
1883
TESTING:
1884
1885
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1886
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

1889
====================
1890
1891
INTERNALS:
1892
1893
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1894
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1895
(John Arbash Meinel)

1897
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1898
=======================
1899
1900
IMPROVEMENTS:
1901
1902
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1903
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1904
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1905
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1906
1907
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1908
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1909
1910
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1911
1912
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1913
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1914
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1915
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1916
1917
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1918
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1919
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1920
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1921
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1922
1923
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1924
1925
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1926
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1927
1928
INTERNALS:
1929
1930
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1931
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1932
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1933
1934
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1935
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1936
(John Arbash Meinel)
1937
1938
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1939
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1940
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1941
1942
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1943
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1944
(Aaron Bentley)
1945
1946
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1947
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1948
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1949
1950
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1951
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1952
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1953
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1954
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1955
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1956
1957
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1958
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1959
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1960
(Robert Collins)
1961
1962
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1963
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1964
1965
BUG FIXES:
1966
1967
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1968
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1969
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1970
#63360, #66349)
1971
1972
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1973
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1974
1975
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1976
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1977
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1978
1979
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1980
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1981
1982
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1983
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1984
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1985
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1986
1987
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1988
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1989
1990
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1991
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1992
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1993
1994
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1995
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1996
1997
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1998
1999
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2000
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2001
#32054)
2002
2003
TESTING:
2004
2005
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2006
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2007
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2008
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2009
2010
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2011
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2012
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2013
2014
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2030
=======================
2031
2032
IMPROVEMENTS:
2033
2034
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2035
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2036
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2037
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2038
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2039
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2040
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2041
2042
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2043
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2044
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2045
2046
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2047
2048
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2049
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2050
2051
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2052
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2053
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2054
(Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2057
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2058
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2059
(John Arbash Meinel)
2060
2061
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2062
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2063
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2064
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2065
Pool)
2066
2067
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2068
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2069
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2070
(John Arbash Meinel)
2071
2072
BUG FIXES:
2073
2074
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2075
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2076
2077
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2078
2079
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2080
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2081
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2082
2083
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2084
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2085
2086
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2087
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2088
2089
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2091
2092
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2093
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2094
2095
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2096
2097
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2098
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2099
2100
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2101
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2102
2103
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2104
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2105
2106
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2107
(John Arbash Meinel)
2108
2109
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2110
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2111
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2112
2113
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2114
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2115
2116
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2117
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2118
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2119
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2120
2121
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2122
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2123
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2124
2125
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2126
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2127
2128
PORTABILITY:
2129
2130
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2131
2132
INTERNALS:
2133
2134
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2135
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2136
(John Arbash Meinel)
2137
2138
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2139
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2140
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2141
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2142
2143
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2144
(Andrew Bennetts)
2145
2146
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2147
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2148
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2149
2150
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2151
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2152
2153
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2154
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2155
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2156
2157
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2158
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2159
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2160
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2161
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2162
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2163
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2164
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2165
caller to repeat their request.
2166
(John Arbash Meinel)
2167
2168
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2169
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2170
2171
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2172
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2173
2174
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2175
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2176
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2177
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2178
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2179
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2180
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2181
2182
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2183
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2184
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2185
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2186
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2187
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2188
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2189
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2190
(Robert Collins)
2191
2192
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2193
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2194
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2195
2196
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2197
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2198
2199
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2200
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2201
2202
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2203
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2204
2205
TESTING:
2206
2207
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2208
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2209
2210
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2211
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2212
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2215
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2216
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2217
2218
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2219
====================
2220
2221
IMPROVEMENTS:
2222
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2223
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2224
2225
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2226
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2227
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2228
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2229
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2230
2231
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2232
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2233
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2234
2235
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2236
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2237
2238
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2239
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2240
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2241
2242
BUG FIXES:
2243
2244
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2245
2246
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2247
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2248
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2249
2250
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2251
2252
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2253
2254
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2255
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2256
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2257
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2258
2259
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2260
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2261
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2262
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2263
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2264
2265
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2266
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2267
2268
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2269
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2270
2271
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2272
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2273
2274
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2275
in handling of revision properties.
2276
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2277
2278
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2279
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2280
2281
INTERNALS:
2282
2283
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2284
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2285
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2286
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2287
(John Arbash Meinel)
2288
2289
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2290
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2291
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2292
2293
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2294
=====================
2295
2296
SURPRISES:
2297
2298
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2299
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2300
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2301
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2302
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2303
a more conservative list than the old default.
2304
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2305
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2306
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2307
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2308
2309
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2310
to more locations than just branch locations.
2311
(Aaron Bentley)
2312
2313
IMPROVEMENTS:
2314
2315
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2316
revno:N:branch. For example,
2317
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2318
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2319
2320
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2321
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2322
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2323
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2324
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2325
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2326
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2327
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2328
#42517, #42514)
2329
2330
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2331
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2332
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2333
(Malone #3507)
2334
2335
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2336
(Alexander Belchenko)
2337
2338
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2339
2340
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2341
(Robert Collins).
2342
2343
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2344
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2345
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2346
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2347
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2348
(John Arbash Meinel)
2349
2350
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2351
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2352
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2353
grained analysis of performance.
2354
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2355
2356
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2357
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2358
2359
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2360
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2361
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2362
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2363
file. (Robert Collins).
2364
2365
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2366
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2367
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2368
2369
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2370
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2371
Matthieu Moy)
2372
2373
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2374
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2377
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2378
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2379
the same way you would apply another branch.
2380
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2381
2382
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2383
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2384
2385
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2386
(Michael Ellerman)
2387
2388
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2389
(Aaron Bentley)
2390
2391
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2392
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2393
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2394
2395
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2396
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2397
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2398
2399
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2400
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2401
2402
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2403
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2404
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2405
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2406
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2407
2408
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2409
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2410
2411
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2412
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2413
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2414
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2415
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2416
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2417
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2418
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2419
2420
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2421
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2422
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2423
2424
BUG FIXES:
2425
2426
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2427
tests not to run.
2428
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2429
2430
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2431
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2432
2433
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2434
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2435
2436
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2437
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2438
2439
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2440
2441
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2442
(John Arbash Meinel)
2443
2444
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2445
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2446
2447
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2448
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2449
and y.
2450
2451
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2452
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2453
2454
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2455
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2456
2457
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2458
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2459
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2460
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2461
2462
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2463
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2464
2465
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2466
2467
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2468
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2469
2470
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2471
2472
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2473
2474
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2475
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2476
2477
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2478
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2479
2480
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2481
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2482
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2483
2484
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2485
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2486
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2487
2488
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2489
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2490
2491
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2492
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2493
2494
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2495
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2496
2497
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2498
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2499
2500
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2501
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2502
2503
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2504
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2505
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2506
2507
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2508
2509
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2510
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2511
2512
INTERNALS:
2513
2514
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2515
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2516
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2517
2518
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2519
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2520
2521
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2522
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2523
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2524
2525
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2526
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2527
2528
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2529
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2530
(Martin Pool)
2531
2532
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2533
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2534
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2535
2536
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2537
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2538
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2539
2540
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2541
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2542
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2543
2544
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2545
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2546
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2547
2548
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2549
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2550
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2551
2552
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2553
instead. (Robert Collins)
2554
2555
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2565
=====================
2566
2567
BUG FIXES:
2568
2569
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2570
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2571
2572
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2573
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2574
2575
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2576
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2577
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2578
2579
CHANGES:
2580
2581
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2582
2583
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2584
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2585
2586
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2587
2588
CHANGES:
2589
2590
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2591
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2592
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2593
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2594
2595
NEW FEATURES:
2596
2597
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2598
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2599
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2600
2601
INTERNALS:
2602
2603
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2604
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2605
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2606
2607
TESTING:
2608
2609
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2610
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2611
2612
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2613
===================
2614
2615
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2616
2617
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2618
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2619
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2620
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2621
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2622
will keep the same format.
2623
2624
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2625
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2626
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2627
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2628
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2629
2630
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2631
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2632
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2633
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2634
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2635
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2636
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2637
2638
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2639
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2640
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2641
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2642
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2643
2644
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2645
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2646
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2647
arrangement.
2648
2649
2650
IMPROVEMENTS:
2651
2652
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2653
convention. Paths now take the form::
2654
2655
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2656
or
2657
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2658
2659
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2660
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2661
2662
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2663
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2664
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2665
2666
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2667
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2668
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2669
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2670
2671
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2672
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2673
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2674
2675
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2676
2677
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2678
2679
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2680
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2681
commits::
2682
2683
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2684
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2685
| xargs bzr re-sign
2686
2687
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2688
2689
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2690
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2691
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2692
(Robert Collins)
2693
2694
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2695
2696
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2697
2698
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2699
'.moved'.
2700
2701
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2702
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2703
2704
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2705
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2706
Daniel Silverstone)
2707
2708
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2709
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2710
Martin Pool)
2711
2712
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2713
2714
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2715
2716
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2717
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2718
2719
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2720
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2721
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2722
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2723
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2724
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2725
2726
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2727
2728
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2729
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2730
(Robert Collins)
2731
2732
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2733
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2734
2735
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2736
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2737
2738
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2739
2740
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2741
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2742
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2743
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2744
specification by Martin Pool.
2745
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2746
2747
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2748
Belchenko)
2749
2750
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2751
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2752
2753
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2754
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2755
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2756
2757
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2758
2759
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2760
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2761
(Robert Collins)
2762
2763
CHANGES:
2764
2765
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2766
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2767
2768
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2769
2770
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2771
2772
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2773
(Olaf Conradi)
2774
2775
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2776
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2777
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2778
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2779
2780
INTERNALS:
2781
2782
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2783
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2784
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2785
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2786
2787
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2788
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2789
tried. (Martin Pool)
2790
2791
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2792
(Martin Pool)
2793
2794
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2795
2796
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2797
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2798
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2799
2800
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2801
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2802
2803
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2804
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2805
paths. (Robert Collins)
2806
2807
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2808
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2809
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2810
2811
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2812
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2813
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2814
2815
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2816
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2817
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2818
2819
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2820
(Olaf Conradi)
2821
2822
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2823
(Olaf Conradi)
2824
2825
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2826
2827
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2828
2829
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2830
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2831
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2832
(Robert Collins)
2833
2834
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2835
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2836
2837
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2838
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2839
check. (Robert Collins)
2840
2841
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2842
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2843
2844
TESTING:
2845
2846
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2847
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2848
2849
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2850
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2851
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2852
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2853
2854
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2855
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2856
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2857
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2858
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2859
2860
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2861
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2862
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2863
2864
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2865
2866
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2867
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2868
2869
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2870
==================
2871
2872
CHANGES:
2873
2874
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2875
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2876
2877
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2878
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2879
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2880
(Johan Rydberg)
2881
2882
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2883
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2884
2885
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2886
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2887
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2888
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2889
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2890
2891
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2892
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2893
used. (Robert Collins)
2894
2895
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2896
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2897
(James Henstridge)
2898
2899
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2900
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2901
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2902
2903
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2904
ignore list.
2905
2906
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2907
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2908
2909
IMPROVEMENTS:
2910
2911
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2912
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2913
2914
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2915
2916
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2917
2918
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2919
tree. (Robert Collins)
2920
2921
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2922
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2923
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2924
(Robert Collins)
2925
2926
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2927
that they be kept.
2928
2929
* Tweaks to short log printing
2930
2931
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2932
(Aaron Bentley)
2933
2934
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2935
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2936
2937
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2938
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2939
2940
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2941
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2942
2943
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2944
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2945
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2946
2947
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2948
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2949
2950
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2951
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2952
requests.
2953
2954
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2955
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2956
2957
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2958
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2959
2960
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2961
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2962
2963
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2964
(Denys Duchier)
2965
2966
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2967
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2968
2969
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2970
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2971
2972
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2973
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2974
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2975
2976
BUG FIXES:
2977
2978
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2979
2980
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2981
2982
* Error when run with -OO
2983
2984
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2985
(Martin Pool)
2986
2987
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2988
2989
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2990
2991
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2992
ignored by diff and status
2993
2994
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2995
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2996
2997
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2998
2999
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3000
3001
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3002
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3003
3004
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3005
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3006
3007
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3008
(Harald Meland)
3009
3010
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3011
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3012
3013
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3014
3015
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3016
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3017
3018
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3019
(Martin Pool)
3020
3021
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3022
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3023
3024
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3025
3026
TESTING:
3027
3028
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3029
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3030
3031
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3032
3033
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3034
3035
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3036
3037
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3038
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3039
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3040
3041
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3042
3043
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3044
(John Arbash Meinel)
3045
3046
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3047
3048
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3049
If adding a new test script please add that to
3050
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3051
3052
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3053
imported. (Martin Pool)
3054
3055
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3056
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3057
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3058
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3059
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3060
(Robert Collins)
3061
3062
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3063
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3064
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3065
3066
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3067
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3068
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3069
3070
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3071
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3072
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3073
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3074
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3075
(Robert Collins).
3076
3077
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3078
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3079
(Robert Collins).
3080
3081
INTERNALS:
3082
3083
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3084
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3085
3086
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3087
function. (Robert Collins)
3088
3089
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3090
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3091
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3092
3093
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3094
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3095
(Robert Collins)
3096
3097
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3098
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3099
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3100
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3101
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3102
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3103
version. (Robert Collins)
3104
3105
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3106
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3107
3108
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3109
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3110
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3111
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3112
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3113
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3114
3115
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3116
(Robert Collins)
3117
3118
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3119
3120
add()
3121
commit()
3122
move()
3123
rename_one()
3124
unknowns()
3125
3126
(Robert Collins)
3127
3128
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3129
3130
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3131
3132
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3133
Pool)
3134
3135
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3136
query method. (Robert Collins)
3137
3138
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3139
(Denys Duchier)
3140
3141
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3142
(Michael Ellerman)
3143
3144
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3145
(Michael Ellerman)
3146
3147
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3148
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3149
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3150
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3151
3152
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3153
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3154
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3155
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3156
3157
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3158
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3159

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3161
==================
3162
3163
IMPROVEMENTS:
3164
3165
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3166
(John A Meinel)
3167
3168
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3169
conflicts.
3170
(Aaron Bentley)
3171
3172
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3173
a separator, not ':'.
3174
(Aaron Bentley)
3175
3176
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3177
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3178
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3179
3180
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3181
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3182
(Robert Collins)
3183
3184
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3185
has been added that suppresses all output.
3186
3187
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3188
Adams.
3189
3190
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3191
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3192
3193
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3194
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3195
3196
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3197
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3198
3199
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3200
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3201
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3202
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3203
3204
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3205
3206
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3207
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3208
3209
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3210
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3211
3212
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3213
output directory, if one was supplied.
3214
3215
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3216
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3217
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3218
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3219
3220
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3221
3222
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3223
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3224
3225
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3226
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3227
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3228
3229
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3230
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3231
3232
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3233
(Aaron Bentley)
3234
3235
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3236
3237
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3238
3239
TESTING:
3240
3241
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3242
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3243
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3244
3245
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3246
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3247
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3248
3249
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3250
is given. (Martin Pool)
3251
3252
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3253
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3254
file. (Robert Collins)
3255
3256
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3257
(Martin Pool)
3258
3259
INTERNALS:
3260
3261
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3262
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3263
representation. (Martin Pool).
3264
3265
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3266
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3267
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3268
3269
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3270
(Robert Collins)
3271
3272
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3273
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3274
Magnus Therning.
3275
3276
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3277
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3278
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3279
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3280
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3281
3282
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3283
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3284
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3285
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3286
python path. (Robert Collins)
3287
3288
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3289
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3290
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3291
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3292
3293
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3294
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3295
3296
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3297
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3298
(Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3301
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3302
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3303
3304
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3305
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3306
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3307
3308
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3309
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3310
3311
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3312
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3313
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3314
(Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3317
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3318
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3319
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3320
(Robert Collins)
3321
3322
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3323
(Robert Collins)
3324
3325
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3326
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3327
(Robert Collins)
3328
3329
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3330
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3331
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3332
3333
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3334
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3335
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3336
3337
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3338
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3339
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3340
3341
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3342
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3343
3344
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3345
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3346
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3347
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3348
caller. (Robert Collins)
3349
3350
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3351
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3352
(Robert Collins).
3353
3354
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3355
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3356
(Aaron Bentley)
3357
3358
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3359
3360
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3361
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3362
3363
BUG FIXES:
3364
3365
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3366
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3367
3368
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3369
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3370
3371
3372
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3373
====================
3374
3375
BUG FIXES:
3376
3377
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3378
allow directories to be listed.
3379
3380
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3381
upgrading branch format.
3382
3383
PERFORMANCE:
3384
3385
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3386
3387
3388
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3389
==================
3390
3391
NOTES:
3392
3393
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3394
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3395
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3396
high-latency connections.
3397
3398
BUG FIXES:
3399
3400
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3401
Rob Weir.
3402
3403
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3404
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3405
3406
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3407
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3408
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3409
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3410
3411
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3412
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3413
3414
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3415
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3416
3417
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3418
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3419
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3420
3421
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3422
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3423
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3424
Robert Collins
3425
3426
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3427
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3428
3429
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3430
different partial views of history.
3431
3432
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3433
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3434
3435
IMPROVEMENTS:
3436
3437
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3438
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3439
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3440
3441
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3442
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3443
'bzr upgrade'.
3444
3445
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3446
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3447
3448
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3449
Niemeyer.
3450
3451
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3452
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3453
3454
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3455
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3456
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3457
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3458
3459
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3460
3461
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3462
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3463
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3464
3465
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3466
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3467
3468
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3469
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3470
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3471
3472
3473
INTERNALS:
3474
3475
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3476
for your viewing pleasure.
3477
3478
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3479
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3480
3481
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3482
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3483
handling of such circumstances.
3484
3485
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3486
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3487
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3488
3489
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3490
3491
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3492
we call them revisions not patches.
3493
3494
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3495
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3496
3497
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3498
giving the revision *of that file*.
3499
3500
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3501
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3502
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3503
3504
TESTING:
3505
3506
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3507
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3508
3509
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3510
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3511
3512
3513
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3514
====================
3515
3516
BUG FIXES:
3517
3518
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3519
3520
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3521
(Robert Collins).
3522
3523
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3524
3525
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3526
3527
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3528
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3529
3530
IMPROVEMENTS:
3531
3532
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3533
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3534
3535
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3536
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3537
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3538
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3539
Robey Pointer
3540
3541
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3542
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3543
3544
INTERNALS:
3545
3546
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3547
3548
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3549
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3550
3551
3552
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3553
====================
3554
3555
IMPROVEMENTS:
3556
3557
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3558
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3559
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3560
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3561
Michael Ellerman.
3562
3563
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3564
(Nir Soffer)
3565
3566
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3567
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3568
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3569
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3570
for the operating system is still tried.
3571
3572
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3573
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3574
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3575
3576
3577
INTERNALS:
3578
3579
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3580
3581
BUG FIXES:
3582
3583
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3584
3585
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3586
branch.
3587
3588
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3589
read.
3590
3591
3592
PORTABILITY:
3593
3594
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3595
3596
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3597
3598
3599
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3600
====================
3601
3602
NEW FEATURES:
3603
3604
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3605
help with intelligent shell completion.
3606
3607
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3608
3609
3610
ENHANCEMENTS:
3611
3612
* Much better merge support.
3613
3614
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3615
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3616
like emacs smerge.
3617
3618
3619
BUG FIXES:
3620
3621
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3622
mention revisions that are not present.
3623
3624
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3625
3626
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3627
3628
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3629
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3630
3631
3632
CHANGES:
3633
3634
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3635
3636
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3637
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3638
--help themselves.
3639
3640
3641
LIBRARY:
3642
3643
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3644
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3645
libraries.
3646
3647
3648
3649
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3650
====================
3651
3652
NEW FEATURES:
3653
3654
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3655
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3656
3657
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3658
3659
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3660
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3661
3662
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3663
FOO.
3664
3665
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3666
3667
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3668
the Unix command.
3669
3670
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3671
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3672
3673
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3674
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3675
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3676
3677
3678
ENHANCEMENTS:
3679
3680
* Faster working tree operations.
3681
3682
3683
CHANGES:
3684
3685
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3686
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3687
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3688
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3689
3690
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3691
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3692
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3693
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3694
standard plugins directory.
3695
3696
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3697
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3698
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3699
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3700
3701
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3702
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3703
3704
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3705
disk.
3706
3707
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3708
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3709
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3710
3711
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3712
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3713
3714
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3715
line options must come before the command name because they
3716
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3717
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3718
it.
3719
3720
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3721
3722
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3723
is available with ``--short``.
3724
3725
3726
BUG FIXES:
3727
3728
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3732
=====================
3733
3734
CHANGES:
3735
3736
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3737
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3738
3739
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3740
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3741
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3742
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3743
3744
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3745
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3746
with the ``--forward`` option.
3747
3748
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3749
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3750
field.
3751
3752
3753
ENHANCEMENTS:
3754
3755
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3756
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3757
3758
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3759
3760
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3761
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3762
3763
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3764
3765
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3766
either read or write mode.
3767
3768
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3769
3770
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3771
affected that file.
3772
3773
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3774
3775
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3776
suggested by LarstiQ.
3777
3778
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3779
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3780
3781
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3782
a filename.
3783
3784
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3785
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3786
3787
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3788
haven't changed since the previous time.
3789
3790
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3791
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3792
3793
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3794
3795
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3796
3797
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3798
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3799
3800
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3801
options through to an external GNU diff.
3802
3803
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3804
their contents.
3805
3806
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3807
from a branch.
3808
3809
3810
BUG FIXES:
3811
3812
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3813
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3814
3815
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3816
metacharacters.
3817
3818
3819
TESTING:
3820
3821
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3822
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3823
the tests.
3824
3825
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3826
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3827
3828
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3829
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3830
3831
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3832
under a different version.
3833
3834
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3835
3836
3837
INTERNAL:
3838
3839
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3840
3841
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3842
Scott James Remnant.
3843
3844
* Better help messages for many commands.
3845
3846
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3847
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3848
3849
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3850
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3851
3852
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3853
3854
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3855
3856
* New AtomicFile class.
3857
3858
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3859
3860
3861
PORTABILITY:
3862
3863
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3864
2.4 is now only recommended.
3865
3866
3867
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3868
=====================
3869
3870
ENHANCEMENTS:
3871
3872
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3873
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3874
3875
* More default ignore patterns.
3876
3877
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3878
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3879
3880
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3881
3882
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3883
by Jason Diamon.
3884
3885
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3886
3887
3888
CHANGES:
3889
3890
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3891
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3892
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3893
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3894
there are DNS problems.
3895
3896
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3897
3898
3899
BUG FIXES:
3900
3901
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3902
3903
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3904
3905
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3906
trailing newlines properly.
3907
3908
3909
INTERNAL:
3910
3911
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3912
Matt Brubeck.
3913
3914
* More tests in test.sh.
3915
3916
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3917
directory and delete it when done.
3918
3919
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3920
3921
3922
PORTABILITY:
3923
3924
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3925
Bennetts.
3926
3927
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3928
from QuantumG.

3937
in the tree.
3938

3940
3941
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3942
and/or directory.
3943
3944
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3945
directory.
3946
3947
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3948
3949
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3950
3951
CHANGES:
3952
3953
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3954
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3955
will do for now.)
3956
3957
PORTABILITY:
3958
3959
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3960
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3961
Nielsen.
3962
3963
INTERNAL:
3964
3965
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3966
3967

3981
===================================
3982
3983
ENHANCEMENTS:
3984
3985
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3986
3987
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3988
rather than replacing it.
3989
3990
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3991
3992
* More help topics.
3993
3994
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3995
branch.
3996
3997
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3998
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3999
4000
* Performance improvements.
4001
4002
* New global --profile option.
4003
4004
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4005
the root directory only.

4029
installation easier.
4030
4031

4032
supported).
4033
