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
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
52
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
53
54
BUG FIXES:
55
56
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
57
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
58
59
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
60
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
61
62
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
63
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
64
65
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
66
(Aaron Bentley)
67
68
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
69
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
70
71
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
72
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
73
74
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
75
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
76
77
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
78
(Blake Winton, #129299)
79
80
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
81
82
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
83
Watkins, #106726)
84
85
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
86
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
87
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
88
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
89
90
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
91
92
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
93
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
94
#133548)
95
96
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
97
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
98
99
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
100
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
101
#116143)
102
103
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
104
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
105
106
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
107
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
108
109
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees.
110
Now it will remove (without needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no
111
files with text changes or modified files.
112
With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of text changes or
113
unknown files.
114
Directories with renames in or out (but not changed otherwise)
115
will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
116
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
117
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
118
119
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
120
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
121
122
IMPROVEMENTS:
123
124
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
125
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
126
127
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
128
(Aaron Bentley)
129
130
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
131
(Aaron Bentley)
132
133
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
134
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
135
136
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
137
138
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
139
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
140
141
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
142
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
143
144
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
145
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
146
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
147
space). (Robert Collins)
148
149
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
150
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
151
(Ian Clatworthy)
152
153
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
154
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
155
156
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
157
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
158
159
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
160
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
161
162
API BREAKS:
163
164
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
165
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
166
167
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
168
previous release. (Martin Pool)
169
170
TESTING:
171
172
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
173
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
174
175
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
176
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
177
178
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
179
previous release. (Martin Pool)
180
181
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
182
(Aaron Bentley)
183
184
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
185
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
186
187
INTERNALS:
188
189
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
190
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
191
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
192
its version information. (Robert Collins)
193
194
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
195
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
196
197
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
198
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
199
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
200
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
201
202
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
203
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
204
(Robert Collins)
205
206
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
207
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
208
209
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
210
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
211
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
212
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
213
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
214
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
215
216
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
217
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
218
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
219
220
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
221
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
222
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
223
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
224
protocol.
225
226
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
227
(Aaron Bentley)
228
229
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
230
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
231
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
232
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
233
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
234
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
235
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
236
237
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
238
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
239
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
240
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
241
242
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
243
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
244
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
245
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
246
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
247
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
248

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
251
===================
252
253
IMPROVEMENTS:
254
255
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
256
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
257
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
258
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
259
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
260
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
261
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
262
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
263
264
265
API CHANGES:
266
267
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
268
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
269
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
270
271
272
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
273
======================
274
275
BUGFIXES:
276
277
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
278
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
279
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
280
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
281
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
282
283
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
285
286
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
287
anymore.
288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
289
290
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
291
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
292
(Vincent Ladeuil)
293
294
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
295
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
296
#111664)
297
298
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
299
(Lukáš Lalinský)
300
301
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
302
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
303
304
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
305
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
306
307
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
308
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
309
310
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
311
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
312
313
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
314
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
315
316
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
317
(Aaron Bentley)
318
319
IMPROVEMENTS:
320
321
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
322
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
323
324
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
325
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
326
327
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
328
the repository (Robert Collins)
329
330
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
331
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
332
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
333
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
334
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
335
336
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
337
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
338
339
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
340
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
341
(John Arbash Meinel)
342
343
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
344
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
345
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
346
about 10%).
347
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
348
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
349
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
350
(John Arbash Meinel)
351
352
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
353
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
354
(Robert Collins)
355
356
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
357
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
358
359
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
360
(Ian Clatworthy)
361
362
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
363
364
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
365
366
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
367
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
368
369
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
370
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
371
Meinel)
372
373
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
374
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
375
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
376
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
377
378
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
379
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
380
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
381
382
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
383
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
384
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
385
386
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
387
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
388
389
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
390
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
391
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
392
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
393
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
394
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
395
(Ian Clatworthy)
396
397
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
398
(Alexander Belchenko)
399
400
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
401
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
402
403
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
404
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
405
406
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
407
408
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
409
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
410
411
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
412
413
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
414
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
415
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
416
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
417
418
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
419
420
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
421
(Robert Collins)
422
423
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
424
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
425
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
426
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
427
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
428
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
429
430
INTERNALS:
431
432
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
433
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
434
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
435
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
436
437
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
438
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
439
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
440
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
441
tests have been refactored too.
442
(Vincent Ladeuil)
443
444
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
445
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
446
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
447
list, it will.
448
(Vincent Ladeuil)
449
450
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
451
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
452
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
453
454
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
455
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
456
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
457
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
458
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
459
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
460
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
461
462
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
463
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
464
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
465
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
466
(John Arbash Meinel)
467
468
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
469
functionality for testing.
470
471
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
472
473
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
474
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
475
476
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
477
478
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
479
(Robert Collins)
480
481
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
482
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
483
484
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
485
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
486
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
487
488
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
489
(Aaron Bentley)
490
491
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
492
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
493
494
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
495
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
496
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
497
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
498
499
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
500
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
501
502
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
503
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
504
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
505
506
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
507
(Marius Kruger)
508
509
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
510
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
511
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
512
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
513
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
514
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
515
516
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
517
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
518
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
519
many files. (Robert Collins)
520
521
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
522
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
523
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
524
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
525
526
TESTING:
527
528
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
529
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
530
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
531
532
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
533
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
534
535
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
536
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
537
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
552
553
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
554
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
555
556
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
557
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
558
(James Westby, #122656)
559
560
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
561
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
562
563
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
564
authentication header.
565
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
566
567
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
568
569
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
570
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
571
572
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
573
574
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
575
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
576

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
578
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
580

* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
582
individually and as part of revision ranges.
583
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
584
585
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
586
(Martin Pool, #109169)
587
588
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).

591
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
592
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
593
594
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
595
596
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
597
598
IMPROVEMENTS:
599
600
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
601
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
602
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
603
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
604
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
605
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
606
607
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
608
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
609
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
610
611
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
612
(Elliot Murphy)
613
614
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
615
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
616
617
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
618
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
619
620
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
621
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
622
623
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
624
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
625
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
626
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
627
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
628
629
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
630
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
631
632
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
633
can be slow it is useful feedback).
634
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
635
636
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
637
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
638
639
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
640
641
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
642
output. (Aaron Bentley)
643
644
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
645
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
646
(Robert Collins)
647
648
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
649
(Martin Pool)
650
651
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
652
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
653
654
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
655
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
656
657
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
658
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
659
660
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
661
662
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
663
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
664
665
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
666
(Andrew Bennetts)

668
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
669
670
* Testing cleanups -
671
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
672
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
673
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
674
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
675
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
676
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
677
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
678
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
679
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
680
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
681
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
682
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
683
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
684
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
685
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
686
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
687
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
688
(Robert Collins)
689
690
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
691
692
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
693
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
694
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
695
696
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
697
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
698
699
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
700
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
701
702
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
703
704
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
705
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
706
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
707
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
708
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
709
same location. (Robert Collins)
710
711
INTERNALS:
712
713
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
714
715
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
716
717
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
718
719
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
720
(Martin Pool)
721
722
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
723
(Martin Pool)
724
725
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
726
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
727
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
728
729
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
730
731
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
732
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
733
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
734
735
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
736
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
737
738
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
739
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
740
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
741
742
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
743
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
744
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
745
746
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
747
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
748
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
749
750
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
751
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
752
Martin Pool)
753
754
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
755
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
756
757
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
758
(Alexander Belchenko)
759
760
TESTING:
761
762
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
763
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
764
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
765
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
766
767
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
768
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
769
testing. (Robert Collins)
770
771
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
772
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
773
774
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
775
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
776
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
777
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
778
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
779
attribute during the test parameterisation in
780
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
781
782
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
783
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
784
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
785
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
786
787
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
788
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
789
790
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
791
avoid useless cloning.

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

810
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
811
812
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
813
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
814
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
815
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
816
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
817
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
818
and unlock() like so::
819
820
work_tree.lock_read()
821
try:
822
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
823
finally:
824
work_tree.unlock()
825
826
INTERNALS:
827
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
828
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
829
object.
830
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
831
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
832
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
833
834
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
835
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
836
too. (Robert Collins)
837
838
IMPROVEMENTS:
839
840
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
841
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
842
Aaron Bentley)
843
844
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
845
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
846
847
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
848
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
849
850
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
851
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
852
understanding what changes have occurred
853
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
854
855
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
856
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
857
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
858
859
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
860
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
861
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
862
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
863
864
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
865
#56322)
866
867
BUGFIXES:
868
869
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
870
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
871
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
872
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
873
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
874
875
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
876
based on split paths, not just string paths.
877
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
878
879
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
880
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
881
882
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
883
into account.
884
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
885
886
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
887
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
888
889
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
890
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
891
892
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
893
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
894
895
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
896
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
897
898
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
899
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
900
901
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
902
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
903
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
904

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
906
====================
907
908
BUGFIXES:
909
910
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
911
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
912
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
913
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
914
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
915
916
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
917
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
918
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
919
920
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
921
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
922
923
IMPROVEMENTS:
924
925
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
926
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
927
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
928
929
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
930
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
931
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
932
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

935
=======================
936
937
BUGFIXES:
938
939
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
940
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
941
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
942
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
943
944
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
945
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
946
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
947
948
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
949
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
950
951
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
952
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
953
954
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
955
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
956
957
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
958
=======================
959
960
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
961
962
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
963
it could be recovered again.
964
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
965
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
966
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
967
but not delete it.
968
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
969
files.
970
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
971
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
972
973
IMPROVEMENTS:
974
975
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
976
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
977
978
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
979
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
980
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
981
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
982
983
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
984
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
985
986
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
987
tests with names that match that regular expression.
988
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
989
990
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
991
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
992
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
993
994
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
995
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
996
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
997
998
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
999
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1000
Robert Collins)
1001
1002
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1003
Pool)
1004
1005
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1006
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1007
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1008
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1009
1010
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1011
(Robert Collins)
1012
1013
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1014
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1015
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1016
(Robert Collins)
1017
1018
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1019
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1020
1021
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1022
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1023
1024
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1025
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1026
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1027
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1028
(Robert Collins)
1029
1030
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1031
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1032
1033
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1034
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1035
1036
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1037
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1038
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1039
1040
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1041
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1042
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1043
1044
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1045
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1046
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1047
1048
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1049
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1050
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1051
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1052
1053
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1054
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1055
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1056
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1057
1058
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1059
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1060
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1061
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1062
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1063
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1064
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1065
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1066
header(s).
1067
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1068
1069
INTERNALS:
1070
1071
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1072
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1073
1074
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1075
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1076
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1077
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1078
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1079
1080
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1081
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1082
1083
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1084
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1085
1086
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1087
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1088
1089
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1090
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1091
1092
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1093
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1094
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1095
(Robert Collins).
1096
1097
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1098
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1099
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1100
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1101
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1102
(Robert Collins)
1103
1104
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1105
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1106
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1107
1108
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1109
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1110
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1111
1112
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1113
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1114
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1115
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1116
1117
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1118
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1119
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1120
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1121
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1122
1123
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1124
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1125
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1126
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1127
1128
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1129
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1130
1131
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1132
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1133
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1134
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1135
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1136
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1137
1138
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1139
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1140
1141
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1142
help. (Robert Collins)
1143
1144
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1145
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1146
1147
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1148
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1149
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1150
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1151
(John Arbash Meinel)
1152
1153
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1154
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1155
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1156
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1157
useful. (Robert Collins)
1158
1159
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1160
(Andrew Bennetts)
1161
1162
BUGFIXES:
1163
1164
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1165
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1166
1167
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1168
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1169
1170
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1171
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1172
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1173
1174
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1175
(Aaron Bentley)
1176
1177
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1178
the file, and does it faster.
1179
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1180
1181
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1182
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1183
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1184
1185
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1186
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1187
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1188
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1189
1190
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1191
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1192
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1193
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1194
1195
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1196
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1197
1198
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1199
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1200
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1201
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1202
Arbash Meinel)
1203
1204
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1205
1206
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1207
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1208
1209
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1210
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1211
1212
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1213
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1214
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1215
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1216
security hole.
1217
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1218
1219
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1221
1222
TESTING:
1223
1224
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1225
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1226
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1227
1228
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1229
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1230
1231
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1232
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1233
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1234
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1235
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1236
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1237
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1238
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1239
1240
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1241
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1242
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1243
1244
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1245
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1246
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1247
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1248
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1249
access.
1250
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1251
1252
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1253
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1254
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1255
1256
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1257
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
1276
1277
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1278
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1279
(Martin Pool)
1280
1281
IMPROVEMENTS:
1282
1283
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1284
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1285
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1286
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1287
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1288
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1289
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1290
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1291
path. (vila)
1292
1293
INTERNALS:
1294
1295
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1296
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1297
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1298
1299
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1300
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1301
(Martin Pool)
1302
1303
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1304
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1305
(John Arbash Meinel)
1306
1307
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1308
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1309
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1310
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1311
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1312
1313
BUGFIXES:
1314
1315
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1316
(vila, #92195)
1317
1318
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1319
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1320
1321
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1322
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1323
1324
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1325
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1326
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1327
1328
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1329
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1330
1331
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1332
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1333
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1334
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1335
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1336
1337
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1338
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1339
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1340

1345
=======================
1346
1347
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1348
1349
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1350
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1351
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1352
1353
IMPROVEMENTS:
1354
1355
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1356
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1357
1358
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1359
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1360
1361
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1362
1363
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1364
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1365
1366
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1367
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1368
1369
INTERNALS:
1370
1371
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.

(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1373
1374
BUGFIXES:
1375
1376
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1377
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1378
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1379
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1380
1381
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1382
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1383
1384
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1385
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1386
1387
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1388
(Marien Zwart)
1389
1390
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1395
=======================
1396
1397
SURPRISES:
1398
1399
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1400
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1401
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1402
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1403
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1404
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1405
1406
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1407
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1408
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1409
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1410
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1411
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1412
development.
1413
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1414
1415
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1416
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1417
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1418
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1419
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1420
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1421
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1422
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1423
1424
IMPROVEMENTS:
1425
1426
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1427
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1428
1429
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1430
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1431
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1432
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1433
does exist.
1434
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1435
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1436
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1437
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1438
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1439
1440
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1441
(Aaron Bentley)
1442
1443
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1444
(Aaron Bentley)
1445
1446
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1447
(Robert Collins)
1448
1449
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1450
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1451
(Aaron Bentley)
1452
1453
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1454
(Aaron Bentley)
1455
1456
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1457
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1458
1459
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1460
directory. (Martin Pool)
1461
1462
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1463
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1464
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1465
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1466
1467
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1468
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1469
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1470
in docs/configuration.txt.
1471
1472
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1473
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1474
bind location.
1475
1476
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1477
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1478
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1479
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1480
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1481
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1482
1483
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1484
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1485
1486
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1487
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1488
1489
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1490
(Aaron Bentley)
1491
1492
INTERNALS:
1493
1494
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1495
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1496
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1497
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1498
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1499
(John Arbash Meinel)
1500
1501
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1502
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1503
(Aaron Bentley)
1504
1505
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1506
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1507
(John Arbash Meinel)
1508
1509
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1510
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1511
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1512
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1513
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1514
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1515
1516
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1517
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1518
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1519
1520
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1521
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1522
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1523
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1524
repository.
1525
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1526
1527
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1528
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1529
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1530
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1531
1532
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1533
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1534
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1535
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1536
1537
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1538
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1539
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1540
1541
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1542
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1543
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1544
1545
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1546
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1547
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1548
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1549
1550
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1551
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1552
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1553
1554
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1555
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1556
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1557
1558
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1559
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1560
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1561
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1562
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1563
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1564
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1565
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1566
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1567
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1568
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1569
1570
BUGFIXES:
1571
1572
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1573
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1574
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1575
1576
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1577
(Aaron Bentley)
1578
1579
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1580
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1581
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1582
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1583
1584
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1585
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1586
#83954).
1587
1588
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1589
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1590
1591
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1592
1593
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1594
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1595
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1596
1597
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1598
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1599
1600
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1601
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1602
1603
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1605
1606
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1607
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1608
1609
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1610
1611
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1612
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1613
1614
TESTING:
1615
1616
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1617
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

1623
IMPROVEMENTS:
1624
1625
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1626
1627
BUG FIXES:
1628
1629
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1630
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1631
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1632
1633
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1634
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1635
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1637
1638
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1639
=======================
1640
1641
IMPROVEMENTS:
1642
1643
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1644
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1645
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1646
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1647
1648
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1649
(Marius Kruger)
1650
1651
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1652
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1653
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1654
1655
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1656
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1657
1658
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1659
(Aaron Bentley)
1660
1661
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1662
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1663
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1664
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1665
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1666
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1667
1668
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1669
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1670
should enable you to do::
1671
1672
[/home/user/project]
1673
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1674
push_location:policy = appendpath
1675
1676
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1677
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1678
(James Henstridge)
1679
1680
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1681
for each file. For example::
1682
1683
$ bzr status --short
1684
A foo
1685
A bar
1686
D baz
1687
? wooley
1688
1689
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1690
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1691
1692
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1693
1694
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1695
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1696
1697
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1698
1699
INTERNALS:
1700
1701
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1702
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1703
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1704
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1705
1706
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1707
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1708
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1709
1710
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1711
1712
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1713
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1714
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1715
(Alexander Belchenko)
1716
1717
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1718
Pool)
1719
1720
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1721
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1722
1723
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1724
1725
BUG FIXES:
1726
1727
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1728
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1729
1730
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1731
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1732
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1733
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1734
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1735
1736
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1737
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1738
1739
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1740
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1741
1742
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1743
matcher.
1744
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1745
1746
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1747
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1748
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1749
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1750
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1751
1752
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1753
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1754
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1755
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1756
1757
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1758
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1759
1760
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1761
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1762
1763
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1764
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
1779
1780
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1781
tree from a branch.
1782
(Daniel Silverstone)
1783
1784
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1785
operations are substantially faster.
1786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1787
1788
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1789
tree from some other url. For example:
1790
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1791
(Daniel Silverstone)
1792
1793
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1794
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1795
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1796
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1797
1798
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1799
(Andrew Bennetts)
1800
1801
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1802
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1803
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1804
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1805
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1806
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1807
1808
INTERNALS:
1809
1810
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1811
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1812
(Martin Pool)
1813
1814
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1815
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1816
(John Arbash Meinel)
1817
1818
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1819
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1820
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1821
(John Arbash Meinel)
1822
1823
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1824
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1825
1826
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1827
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1828
1829
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1830
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew

* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1836
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1837
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1838
1839
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1840
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1841
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1842
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1843
1844
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1845
1846
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1847
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1848
1849
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1850
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1851
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1852
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1853
1854
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1855
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1856
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1857
1858
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1859
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1860
them as full references rather than integers.
1861
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1862
1863
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1864
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1865
1866
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1867
1868
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1869
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1870
1871
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1872
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1873
1874
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1875
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1876
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1877
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1878
1879
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1880
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1881
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1882
1883
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1884
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1885
1886
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1887
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1888
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1889
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1890
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1891
1892
TESTING:
1893
1894
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1895
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

1898
====================
1899
1900
INTERNALS:
1901
1902
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1903
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1904
(John Arbash Meinel)

1906
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1907
=======================
1908
1909
IMPROVEMENTS:
1910
1911
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1912
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1913
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1914
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1915
1916
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1917
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1918
1919
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1920
1921
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1922
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1923
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1924
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1925
1926
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1927
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1928
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1929
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1930
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1931
1932
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1933
1934
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1935
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1936
1937
INTERNALS:
1938
1939
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1940
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1941
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1942
1943
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1944
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1945
(John Arbash Meinel)
1946
1947
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1948
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1949
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1950
1951
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1952
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1953
(Aaron Bentley)
1954
1955
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1956
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1957
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1958
1959
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1960
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1961
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1962
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1963
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1964
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1965
1966
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1967
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1968
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1969
(Robert Collins)
1970
1971
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1972
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1973
1974
BUG FIXES:
1975
1976
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1977
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1978
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1979
#63360, #66349)
1980
1981
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1982
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1983
1984
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1985
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1986
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1987
1988
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1989
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1990
1991
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1992
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1993
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1994
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1995
1996
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1997
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1998
1999
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2000
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2001
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2002
2003
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2004
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2005
2006
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2007
2008
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2009
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2010
#32054)
2011
2012
TESTING:
2013
2014
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2015
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2016
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2017
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2018
2019
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2020
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2021
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2022
2023
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

2039
=======================
2040
2041
IMPROVEMENTS:
2042
2043
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2044
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2045
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2046
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2047
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2048
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2049
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2050
2051
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2052
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2053
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2054
2055
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2056
2057
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2058
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2059
2060
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2061
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2062
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2063
(Robert Collins)
2064
2065
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2066
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2067
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2068
(John Arbash Meinel)
2069
2070
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2071
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2072
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2073
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2074
Pool)
2075
2076
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2077
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2078
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2079
(John Arbash Meinel)
2080
2081
BUG FIXES:
2082
2083
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2084
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2085
2086
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2087
2088
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2089
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2090
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2091
2092
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2093
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2094
2095
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2096
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2097
2098
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2100
2101
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2102
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2103
2104
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2105
2106
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2107
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2108
2109
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2110
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2111
2112
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2113
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2114
2115
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2116
(John Arbash Meinel)
2117
2118
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2119
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2120
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2121
2122
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2123
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2124
2125
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2126
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2127
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2128
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2129
2130
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2131
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2132
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2133
2134
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2135
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2136
2137
PORTABILITY:
2138
2139
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2140
2141
INTERNALS:
2142
2143
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2144
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2145
(John Arbash Meinel)
2146
2147
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2148
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2149
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2150
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2151
2152
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2153
(Andrew Bennetts)
2154
2155
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2156
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2157
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2158
2159
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2160
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2161
2162
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2163
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2164
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2165
2166
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2167
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2168
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2169
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2170
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2171
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2172
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2173
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2174
caller to repeat their request.
2175
(John Arbash Meinel)
2176
2177
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2178
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2179
2180
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2181
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2182
2183
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2184
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2185
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2186
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2187
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2188
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2189
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2190
2191
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2192
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2193
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2194
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2195
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2196
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2197
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2198
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2199
(Robert Collins)
2200
2201
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2202
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2203
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2204
2205
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2206
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2207
2208
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2209
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2210
2211
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2212
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2213
2214
TESTING:
2215
2216
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2217
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2218
2219
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2220
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2221
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2222
2223
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2224
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2225
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2226
2227
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2228
====================
2229
2230
IMPROVEMENTS:
2231
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2232
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2233
2234
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2235
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2236
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2237
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2238
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2239
2240
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2241
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2242
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2243
2244
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2245
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2246
2247
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2248
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2249
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2250
2251
BUG FIXES:
2252
2253
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2254
2255
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2256
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2257
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2258
2259
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2260
2261
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2262
2263
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2264
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2265
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2266
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2267
2268
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2269
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2270
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2271
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2272
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2273
2274
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2275
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2276
2277
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2278
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2279
2280
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2281
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2282
2283
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2284
in handling of revision properties.
2285
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2286
2287
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2288
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2289
2290
INTERNALS:
2291
2292
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2293
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2294
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2295
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2296
(John Arbash Meinel)
2297
2298
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2299
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2300
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2301
2302
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2303
=====================
2304
2305
SURPRISES:
2306
2307
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2308
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2309
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2310
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2311
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2312
a more conservative list than the old default.
2313
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2314
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2315
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2316
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2317
2318
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2319
to more locations than just branch locations.
2320
(Aaron Bentley)
2321
2322
IMPROVEMENTS:
2323
2324
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2325
revno:N:branch. For example,
2326
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2327
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2328
2329
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2330
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2331
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2332
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2333
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2334
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2335
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2336
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2337
#42517, #42514)
2338
2339
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2340
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2341
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2342
(Malone #3507)
2343
2344
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2345
(Alexander Belchenko)
2346
2347
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2348
2349
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2350
(Robert Collins).
2351
2352
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2353
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2354
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2355
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2356
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2357
(John Arbash Meinel)
2358
2359
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2360
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2361
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2362
grained analysis of performance.
2363
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2364
2365
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2366
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2367
2368
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2369
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2370
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2371
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2372
file. (Robert Collins).
2373
2374
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2375
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2376
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2377
2378
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2379
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2380
Matthieu Moy)
2381
2382
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2383
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2384
2385
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2386
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2387
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2388
the same way you would apply another branch.
2389
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2390
2391
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2392
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2393
2394
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2395
(Michael Ellerman)
2396
2397
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2398
(Aaron Bentley)
2399
2400
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2401
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2402
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2403
2404
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2405
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2406
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2407
2408
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2409
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2410
2411
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2412
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2413
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2414
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2415
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2416
2417
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2418
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2419
2420
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2421
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2422
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2423
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2424
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2425
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2426
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2427
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2428
2429
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2430
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2431
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2432
2433
BUG FIXES:
2434
2435
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2436
tests not to run.
2437
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2438
2439
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2440
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2441
2442
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2443
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2444
2445
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2446
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2447
2448
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2449
2450
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2451
(John Arbash Meinel)
2452
2453
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2454
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2455
2456
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2457
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2458
and y.
2459
2460
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2461
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2462
2463
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2464
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2465
2466
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2467
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2468
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2469
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2470
2471
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2472
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2473
2474
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2475
2476
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2477
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2478
2479
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2480
2481
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2482
2483
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2484
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2485
2486
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2487
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2488
2489
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2490
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2491
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2492
2493
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2494
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2495
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2496
2497
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2498
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2499
2500
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2501
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2502
2503
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2504
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2505
2506
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2507
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2508
2509
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2510
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2511
2512
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2513
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2514
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2515
2516
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2517
2518
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2519
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2520
2521
INTERNALS:
2522
2523
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2524
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2525
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2526
2527
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2528
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2529
2530
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2531
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2532
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2533
2534
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2535
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2536
2537
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2538
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2539
(Martin Pool)
2540
2541
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2542
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2543
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2544
2545
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2546
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2547
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2550
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2551
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2552
2553
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2554
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2555
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2556
2557
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2558
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2559
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2560
2561
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2562
instead. (Robert Collins)
2563
2564
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2578
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2579
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2580
2581
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2582
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2583
2584
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2585
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2586

* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2593
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2594

2596
2597
CHANGES:
2598
2599
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2600
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2601
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2602
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2603
2604
NEW FEATURES:
2605
2606
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2607
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2608
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2609
2610
INTERNALS:
2611
2612
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2613
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2614
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2615
2616
TESTING:
2617
2618
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2619
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2620
2621
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2622
===================
2623
2624
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2625
2626
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2627
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2628
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2629
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2630
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2631
will keep the same format.
2632
2633
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2634
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2635
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2636
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2637
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2638
2639
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2640
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2641
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2642
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2643
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2644
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2645
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2646
2647
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2648
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2649
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2650
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2651
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2652
2653
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2654
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2655
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2656
arrangement.
2657
2658
2659
IMPROVEMENTS:
2660
2661
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2662
convention. Paths now take the form::
2663
2664
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2665
or
2666
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2667
2668
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2669
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2670
2671
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2672
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2673
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2674
2675
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2676
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2677
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2678
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2679
2680
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2681
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2682
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2683
2684
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2685
2686
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2687
2688
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2689
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2690
commits::
2691
2692
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2693
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2694
| xargs bzr re-sign
2695
2696
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2697
2698
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2699
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2700
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2701
(Robert Collins)
2702
2703
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2704
2705
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2706
2707
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2708
'.moved'.
2709
2710
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2711
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2712
2713
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2714
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2715
Daniel Silverstone)
2716
2717
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2718
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2719
Martin Pool)
2720
2721
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2722
2723
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2724
2725
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2726
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2727
2728
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2729
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2730
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2731
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2732
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2733
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2734
2735
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2736
2737
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2738
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2739
(Robert Collins)
2740
2741
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2742
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2743
2744
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2745
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2746
2747
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2748
2749
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2750
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2751
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2752
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2753
specification by Martin Pool.
2754
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2755
2756
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2757
Belchenko)
2758
2759
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2760
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2761
2762
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2763
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2764
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2765
2766
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2767
2768
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2769
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2770
(Robert Collins)
2771
2772
CHANGES:
2773
2774
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2775
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2776
2777
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2778
2779
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2780
2781
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2782
(Olaf Conradi)
2783
2784
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2785
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2786
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2787
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2788
2789
INTERNALS:
2790
2791
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2792
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2793
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2794
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2795
2796
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2797
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2798
tried. (Martin Pool)
2799
2800
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2801
(Martin Pool)
2802
2803
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2804
2805
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2806
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2807
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2808
2809
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2810
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2811
2812
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2813
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2814
paths. (Robert Collins)
2815
2816
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2817
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2818
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2819
2820
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2821
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2822
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2823
2824
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2825
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2826
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2827
2828
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2829
(Olaf Conradi)
2830
2831
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2832
(Olaf Conradi)
2833
2834
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2835
2836
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2837
2838
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2839
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2840
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2841
(Robert Collins)
2842
2843
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2844
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2845
2846
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2847
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2848
check. (Robert Collins)
2849
2850
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2851
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2852
2853
TESTING:
2854
2855
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2856
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2857
2858
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2859
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2860
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2861
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2862
2863
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2864
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2865
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2866
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2867
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2868
2869
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2870
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2871
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2872
2873
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2874
2875
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2876
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2877

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2879
==================
2880
2881
CHANGES:
2882
2883
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2884
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2885
2886
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2887
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2888
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2889
(Johan Rydberg)
2890
2891
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2892
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2893
2894
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2895
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2896
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2897
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2898
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2899
2900
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2901
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2902
used. (Robert Collins)
2903
2904
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2905
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2906
(James Henstridge)
2907
2908
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2909
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2910
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2911
2912
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2913
ignore list.
2914
2915
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2916
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2917
2918
IMPROVEMENTS:
2919
2920
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2921
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2922
2923
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2924
2925
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2926
2927
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2928
tree. (Robert Collins)
2929
2930
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2931
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2932
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2933
(Robert Collins)
2934
2935
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2936
that they be kept.
2937
2938
* Tweaks to short log printing
2939
2940
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2941
(Aaron Bentley)
2942
2943
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2944
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2945
2946
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2947
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2948
2949
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2950
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2951
2952
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2953
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2954
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2955
2956
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2957
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2958
2959
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2960
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2961
requests.
2962
2963
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2964
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2965
2966
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2967
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2968
2969
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2970
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2971
2972
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2973
(Denys Duchier)
2974
2975
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2976
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2977
2978
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2979
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2980
2981
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2982
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2983
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2984
2985
BUG FIXES:
2986
2987
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2988
2989
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2990
2991
* Error when run with -OO
2992
2993
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2994
(Martin Pool)
2995
2996
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2997
2998
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2999
3000
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3001
ignored by diff and status
3002
3003
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3004
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3005
3006
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3007
3008
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3009
3010
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3011
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3012
3013
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3014
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3015
3016
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3017
(Harald Meland)
3018
3019
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3020
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3021
3022
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3023
3024
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3025
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3026
3027
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3028
(Martin Pool)
3029
3030
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3031
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3032
3033
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3034
3035
TESTING:
3036
3037
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3038
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3039
3040
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3041
3042
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3043
3044
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3045
3046
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3047
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3048
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3049
3050
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3051
3052
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3053
(John Arbash Meinel)
3054
3055
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3056
3057
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3058
If adding a new test script please add that to
3059
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3060
3061
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3062
imported. (Martin Pool)
3063
3064
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3065
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3066
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3067
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3068
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3069
(Robert Collins)
3070
3071
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3072
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3073
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3074
3075
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3076
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3077
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3078
3079
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3080
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3081
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3082
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3083
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3084
(Robert Collins).
3085
3086
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3087
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3088
(Robert Collins).
3089
3090
INTERNALS:
3091
3092
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3093
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3096
function. (Robert Collins)
3097
3098
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3099
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3100
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3101
3102
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3103
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3104
(Robert Collins)
3105
3106
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3107
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3108
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3109
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3110
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3111
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3112
version. (Robert Collins)
3113
3114
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3115
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3116
3117
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3118
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3119
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3120
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3121
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3122
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3123
3124
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3125
(Robert Collins)
3126
3127
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3128
3129
add()
3130
commit()
3131
move()
3132
rename_one()
3133
unknowns()
3134
3135
(Robert Collins)
3136
3137
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3138
3139
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3140
3141
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3142
Pool)
3143
3144
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3145
query method. (Robert Collins)
3146
3147
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3148
(Denys Duchier)
3149
3150
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3151
(Michael Ellerman)
3152
3153
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3154
(Michael Ellerman)
3155
3156
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3157
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3158
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3159
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3160
3161
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3162
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3163
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3164
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3165
3166
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3167
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3168

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3170
==================
3171
3172
IMPROVEMENTS:
3173
3174
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3175
(John A Meinel)
3176
3177
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3178
conflicts.
3179
(Aaron Bentley)
3180
3181
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3182
a separator, not ':'.
3183
(Aaron Bentley)
3184
3185
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3186
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3187
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3188
3189
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3190
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3191
(Robert Collins)
3192
3193
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3194
has been added that suppresses all output.
3195
3196
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3197
Adams.
3198
3199
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3200
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3201
3202
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3203
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3204
3205
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3206
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3207
3208
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3209
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3210
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3211
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3212
3213
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3214
3215
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3216
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3217
3218
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3219
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3220
3221
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3222
output directory, if one was supplied.
3223
3224
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3225
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3226
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3227
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3228
3229
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3232
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3233
3234
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3235
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3236
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3237
3238
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3239
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3240
3241
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3242
(Aaron Bentley)
3243
3244
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3245
3246
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3247
3248
TESTING:
3249
3250
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3251
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3252
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3253
3254
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3255
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3256
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3257
3258
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3259
is given. (Martin Pool)
3260
3261
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3262
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3263
file. (Robert Collins)
3264
3265
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3266
(Martin Pool)
3267
3268
INTERNALS:
3269
3270
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3271
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3272
representation. (Martin Pool).
3273
3274
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3275
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3276
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3277
3278
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3279
(Robert Collins)
3280
3281
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3282
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3283
Magnus Therning.
3284
3285
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3286
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3287
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3288
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3289
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3290
3291
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3292
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3293
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3294
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3295
python path. (Robert Collins)
3296
3297
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3298
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3299
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3300
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3301
3302
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3303
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3304
3305
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3306
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3307
(Robert Collins)
3308
3309
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3310
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3311
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3312
3313
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3314
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3315
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3316
3317
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3318
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3319
3320
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3321
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3322
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3323
(Robert Collins)
3324
3325
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3326
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3327
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3328
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3329
(Robert Collins)
3330
3331
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3332
(Robert Collins)
3333
3334
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3335
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3336
(Robert Collins)
3337
3338
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3339
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3340
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3341
3342
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3343
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3344
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3345
3346
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3347
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3348
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3349
3350
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3351
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3352
3353
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3354
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3355
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3356
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3357
caller. (Robert Collins)
3358
3359
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3360
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3361
(Robert Collins).
3362
3363
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3364
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3365
(Aaron Bentley)
3366
3367
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3368
3369
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3370
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3371
3372
BUG FIXES:
3373
3374
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3375
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3376
3377
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3378
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3379
3380
3381
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3382
====================
3383
3384
BUG FIXES:
3385
3386
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3387
allow directories to be listed.
3388
3389
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3390
upgrading branch format.
3391
3392
PERFORMANCE:
3393
3394
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3395
3396
3397
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3398
==================
3399
3400
NOTES:
3401
3402
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3403
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3404
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3405
high-latency connections.
3406
3407
BUG FIXES:
3408
3409
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3410
Rob Weir.
3411
3412
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3413
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3414
3415
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3416
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3417
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3418
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3419
3420
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3421
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3422
3423
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3424
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3425
3426
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3427
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3428
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3429
3430
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3431
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3432
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3433
Robert Collins
3434
3435
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3436
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3437
3438
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3439
different partial views of history.
3440
3441
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3442
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3443
3444
IMPROVEMENTS:
3445
3446
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3447
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3448
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3449
3450
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3451
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3452
'bzr upgrade'.
3453
3454
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3455
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3456
3457
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3458
Niemeyer.
3459
3460
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3461
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3462
3463
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3464
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3465
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3466
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3467
3468
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3469
3470
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3471
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3472
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3473
3474
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3475
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3476
3477
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3478
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3479
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3480
3481
3482
INTERNALS:
3483
3484
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3485
for your viewing pleasure.
3486
3487
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3488
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3489
3490
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3491
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3492
handling of such circumstances.
3493
3494
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3495
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3496
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3497
3498
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3499
3500
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3501
we call them revisions not patches.
3502
3503
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3504
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3505
3506
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3507
giving the revision *of that file*.
3508
3509
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3510
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3511
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3512
3513
TESTING:
3514
3515
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3516
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3517
3518
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3519
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3520
3521
3522
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3523
====================
3524
3525
BUG FIXES:
3526
3527
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3528
3529
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3530
(Robert Collins).
3531
3532
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3533
3534
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3535
3536
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3537
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3538
3539
IMPROVEMENTS:
3540
3541
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3542
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3543
3544
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3545
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3546
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3547
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3548
Robey Pointer
3549
3550
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3551
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3552
3553
INTERNALS:
3554
3555
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3556
3557
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3558
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3559
3560
3561
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3562
====================
3563
3564
IMPROVEMENTS:
3565
3566
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3567
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3568
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3569
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3570
Michael Ellerman.
3571
3572
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3573
(Nir Soffer)
3574
3575
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3576
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3577
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3578
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3579
for the operating system is still tried.
3580
3581
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3582
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3583
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3584
3585
3586
INTERNALS:
3587
3588
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3589
3590
BUG FIXES:
3591
3592
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3593
3594
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3595
branch.
3596
3597
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3598
read.
3599
3600
3601
PORTABILITY:
3602
3603
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3604
3605
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3606
3607
3608
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3609
====================
3610
3611
NEW FEATURES:
3612
3613
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3614
help with intelligent shell completion.
3615
3616
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3617
3618
3619
ENHANCEMENTS:
3620
3621
* Much better merge support.
3622
3623
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3624
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3625
like emacs smerge.
3626
3627
3628
BUG FIXES:
3629
3630
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3631
mention revisions that are not present.
3632
3633
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3634
3635
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3636
3637
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3638
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3639
3640
3641
CHANGES:
3642
3643
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3644
3645
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3646
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3647
--help themselves.
3648
3649
3650
LIBRARY:
3651
3652
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3653
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3654
libraries.
3655
3656
3657
3658
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3659
====================
3660
3661
NEW FEATURES:
3662
3663
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3664
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3665
3666
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3667
3668
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3669
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3670
3671
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3672
FOO.
3673
3674
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3675
3676
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3677
the Unix command.
3678
3679
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3680
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3681
3682
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3683
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3684
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3685
3686
3687
ENHANCEMENTS:
3688
3689
* Faster working tree operations.
3690
3691
3692
CHANGES:
3693
3694
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3695
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3696
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3697
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3698
3699
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3700
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3701
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3702
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3703
standard plugins directory.
3704
3705
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3706
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3707
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3708
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3709
3710
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3711
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3712
3713
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3714
disk.
3715
3716
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3717
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3718
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3719
3720
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3721
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3722
3723
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3724
line options must come before the command name because they
3725
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3726
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3727
it.
3728
3729
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3730
3731
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3732
is available with ``--short``.
3733
3734
3735
BUG FIXES:
3736
3737
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3741
=====================
3742
3743
CHANGES:
3744
3745
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3746
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3747
3748
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3749
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3750
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3751
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3752
3753
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3754
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3755
with the ``--forward`` option.
3756
3757
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3758
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3759
field.
3760
3761
3762
ENHANCEMENTS:
3763
3764
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3765
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3766
3767
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3768
3769
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3770
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3771
3772
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3773
3774
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3775
either read or write mode.
3776
3777
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3778
3779
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3780
affected that file.
3781
3782
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3783
3784
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3785
suggested by LarstiQ.
3786
3787
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3788
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3789
3790
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3791
a filename.
3792
3793
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3794
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3795
3796
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3797
haven't changed since the previous time.
3798
3799
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3800
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3801
3802
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3803
3804
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3805
3806
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3807
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3808
3809
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3810
options through to an external GNU diff.
3811
3812
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3813
their contents.
3814
3815
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3816
from a branch.
3817
3818
3819
BUG FIXES:
3820
3821
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3822
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3823
3824
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3825
metacharacters.
3826
3827
3828
TESTING:
3829
3830
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3831
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3832
the tests.
3833
3834
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3835
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3836
3837
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3838
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3839
3840
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3841
under a different version.
3842
3843
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3844
3845
3846
INTERNAL:
3847
3848
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3849
3850
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3851
Scott James Remnant.
3852
3853
* Better help messages for many commands.
3854
3855
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3856
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3857
3858
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3859
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3860
3861
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3862
3863
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3864
3865
* New AtomicFile class.
3866
3867
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3868
3869
3870
PORTABILITY:
3871
3872
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3873
2.4 is now only recommended.
3874
3875
3876
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3877
=====================
3878
3879
ENHANCEMENTS:
3880
3881
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3882
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3883
3884
* More default ignore patterns.
3885
3886
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3887
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3888
3889
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3890
3891
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3892
by Jason Diamon.
3893
3894
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3895
3896
3897
CHANGES:
3898
3899
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3900
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3901
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3902
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3903
there are DNS problems.
3904
3905
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3906
3907
3908
BUG FIXES:
3909
3910
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3911
3912
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3913
3914
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3915
trailing newlines properly.
3916
3917
3918
INTERNAL:
3919
3920
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3921
Matt Brubeck.
3922
3923
* More tests in test.sh.
3924
3925
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3926
directory and delete it when done.
3927
3928
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3929
3930
3931
PORTABILITY:
3932
3933
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3934
Bennetts.
3935
3936
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3937
from QuantumG.

3946
in the tree.
3947

3949
3950
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3951
and/or directory.
3952
3953
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3954
directory.
3955
3956
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3957
3958
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3959
3960
CHANGES:
3961
3962
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3963
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3964
will do for now.)
3965
3966
PORTABILITY:
3967
3968
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3969
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3970
Nielsen.
3971
3972
INTERNAL:
3973
3974
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

3990
===================================
3991
3992
ENHANCEMENTS:
3993
3994
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3995
3996
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3997
rather than replacing it.
3998
3999
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4000
4001
* More help topics.
4002
4003
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4004
branch.
4005
4006
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4007
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4008
4009
* Performance improvements.
4010
4011
* New global --profile option.
4012
4013
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4014
the root directory only.

4038
installation easier.
4039
4040

4041
supported).
