16
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
17
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
18
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
20
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
24
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
26
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
27
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
42
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
43
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
44
by mail to the mailing list.
49
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
51
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
54
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
55
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
56
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
57
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
59
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
62
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
63
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
65
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
66
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
67
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
69
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
70
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
71
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
72
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
73
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
74
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
75
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
76
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
77
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
81
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
82
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
83
wraps its output in a StringIO.
86
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
89
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
93
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
94
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
96
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
98
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
100
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
101
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
105
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
106
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
108
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
109
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
110
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
111
feedback but also incur more latency.
112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
114
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
115
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
117
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
118
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
122
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
123
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
127
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
128
=====================
130
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
132
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
133
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
134
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
135
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
137
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
138
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
140
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
141
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
143
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
144
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
145
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
146
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
147
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
148
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
149
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
150
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
151
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
152
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
153
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
154
from any tree without problems.
155
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
159
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
160
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
161
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
163
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
164
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
165
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
170
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
171
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
172
supported transports.
175
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
176
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
177
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
179
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
180
(Robert Collins, #154173)
182
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
183
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
184
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
185
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
187
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
188
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
192
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
193
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
194
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
195
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
197
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
198
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
199
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
200
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
202
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
203
(Robert Collins, #88319)
205
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
206
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
208
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
209
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
211
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
212
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
217
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
220
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
221
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
224
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
225
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
226
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
227
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
229
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
230
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
231
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
232
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
238
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
239
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
241
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
242
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
244
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
245
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
247
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
250
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
251
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
253
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
254
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
256
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
257
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
259
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
262
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
265
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
266
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
269
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
270
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
272
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
273
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
275
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
276
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
278
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
281
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
282
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
283
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
284
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
286
(Martin Pool, #164637)
288
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
289
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
292
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
293
(Robert Collins, #161240)
295
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
297
(Martin Pool, #164443)
299
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
300
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
302
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
303
specify a port in urls.
304
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
306
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
307
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
309
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
310
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
312
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
313
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
315
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
316
(Robert Collins, #153789)
318
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
319
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
320
(Robert Collins, #165304).
322
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
324
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
325
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
327
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
330
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
331
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
333
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
334
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
336
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
337
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
338
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
340
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
341
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
343
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
344
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
345
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
346
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
348
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
349
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
351
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
352
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
353
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
355
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
356
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
358
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
359
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
361
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
366
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
367
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
369
* The return value of
370
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
371
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
372
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
373
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
375
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
378
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
379
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
385
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
386
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
387
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
390
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
391
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
393
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
403
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
406
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
407
======================
409
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
413
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
414
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
416
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
417
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
418
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
419
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
420
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
421
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
422
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
423
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
424
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
425
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
426
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
427
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
432
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
433
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
434
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
435
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
436
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
437
for further details. (Robert Collins)
439
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
440
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
441
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
444
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
446
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
447
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
449
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
450
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
453
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
454
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
455
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
459
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
460
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
462
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
463
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
465
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
466
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
467
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
468
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
470
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
473
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
474
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
475
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
476
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
478
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
479
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
481
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
482
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
484
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
485
the contents. (Robert Collins)
487
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
488
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
492
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
493
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
495
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
496
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
498
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
499
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
501
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
502
(Martin Pool, #63894)
504
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
505
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
509
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
511
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
516
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
517
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
518
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
520
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
521
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
523
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
524
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
526
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
527
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
528
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
529
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
531
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
532
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
533
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
534
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
535
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
537
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
538
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
542
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
544
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
545
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
547
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
550
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
551
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
553
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
554
contains a symbolic link.
555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
557
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
558
(James Westby, #140615)
560
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
561
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
562
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
564
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
565
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
566
(Martin Pool, #144633)
568
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
570
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
571
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
573
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
575
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
577
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
578
directory to detect leaking tests.
579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
581
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
582
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
583
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
585
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
588
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
589
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
591
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
596
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
597
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
599
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
600
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
601
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
603
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
604
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
605
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
607
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
608
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
610
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
611
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
613
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
614
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
617
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
618
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
620
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
624
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
625
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
627
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
628
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
629
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
631
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
632
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
633
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
636
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
637
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
638
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
639
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
644
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
645
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
646
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
648
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
649
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
650
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
651
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
653
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
654
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
657
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
658
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
659
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
661
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
662
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
663
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
665
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
666
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
668
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
669
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
670
to complete. (Robert Collins)
672
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
673
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
675
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
676
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
677
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
679
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
680
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
681
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
683
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
684
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
685
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
686
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
688
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
689
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
690
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
691
returned. (Robert Collins)
693
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
694
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
696
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
697
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
698
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
699
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
702
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
703
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
707
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
708
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
710
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
711
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
712
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
713
makes this behavior available to other users.
716
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
717
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
725
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
726
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
727
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
729
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
731
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
732
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
733
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
734
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
736
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
737
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
741
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
742
======================
744
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
748
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
749
======================
753
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
754
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
755
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
756
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
759
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
760
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
761
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
766
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
767
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
768
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
771
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
772
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
773
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
775
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
776
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
777
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
779
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
780
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
782
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
783
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
784
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
785
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
786
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
787
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
788
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
789
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
790
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
791
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
793
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
794
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
796
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
797
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
798
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
802
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
803
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
805
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
806
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
807
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
809
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
810
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
812
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
813
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
815
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
818
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
819
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
821
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
822
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
824
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
825
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
827
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
828
(Blake Winton, #129299)
830
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
832
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
835
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
836
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
837
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
838
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
840
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
842
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
843
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
846
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
847
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
849
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
850
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
853
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
854
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
856
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
857
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
859
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
860
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
861
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
862
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
863
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
864
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
865
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
867
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
868
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
870
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
871
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
873
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
874
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
876
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
879
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
881
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
883
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
884
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
886
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
887
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
888
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
890
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
891
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
892
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
896
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
897
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
899
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
902
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
905
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
906
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
908
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
910
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
911
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
913
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
914
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
916
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
917
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
918
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
919
space). (Robert Collins)
921
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
922
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
925
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
926
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
928
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
929
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
931
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
932
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
933
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
934
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
936
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
937
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
938
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
941
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
944
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
945
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
946
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
948
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
949
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
950
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
951
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
952
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
956
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
957
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
959
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
960
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
961
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
962
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
963
affected. (Robert Collins)
965
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
966
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
967
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
970
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
971
previous release. (Martin Pool)
975
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
976
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
978
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
979
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
981
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
982
previous release. (Martin Pool)
984
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
987
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
988
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
992
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
993
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
994
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
995
its version information. (Robert Collins)
997
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
998
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1000
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1001
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1002
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1003
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1005
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1006
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1007
present. (Robert Collins)
1009
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1010
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1011
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1012
API. (Robert Collins)
1014
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1015
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1018
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1019
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1021
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1022
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1023
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1024
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1025
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1026
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1028
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1029
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1030
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1032
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1033
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1034
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1035
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1038
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1041
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1042
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1043
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1044
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1045
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1046
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1047
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1049
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1050
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1051
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1052
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1054
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1055
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1056
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1057
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1058
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1059
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1061
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1062
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1063
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1065
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1066
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1074
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1075
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1076
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1077
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1078
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1079
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1080
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1081
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1086
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1087
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1088
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1091
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1092
======================
1096
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1097
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1098
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1099
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1100
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1102
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1105
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1109
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1110
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1113
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1114
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1117
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1120
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1121
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1123
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1124
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1126
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1127
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1129
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1130
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1132
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1133
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1135
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1140
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1141
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1143
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1144
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1146
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1147
the repository (Robert Collins)
1149
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1150
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1151
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1152
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1153
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1155
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1156
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1158
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1159
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1160
(John Arbash Meinel)
1162
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1163
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1164
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1166
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1167
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1168
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1169
(John Arbash Meinel)
1171
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1172
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1175
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1176
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1178
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1181
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1183
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1185
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1186
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1188
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1189
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1192
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1193
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1194
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1195
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1197
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1198
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1199
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1201
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1202
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1203
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1205
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1206
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1208
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1209
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1210
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1211
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1212
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1213
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1216
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1217
(Alexander Belchenko)
1219
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1220
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1222
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1223
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1225
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1227
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1228
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1232
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1233
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1234
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1235
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1237
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1239
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1242
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1243
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1244
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1245
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1246
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1247
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1251
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1252
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1253
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1254
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1256
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1257
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1258
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1259
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1260
tests have been refactored too.
1263
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1264
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1265
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1269
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1270
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1271
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1273
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1274
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1275
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1276
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1277
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1278
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1279
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1281
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1282
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1283
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1284
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1285
(John Arbash Meinel)
1287
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1288
functionality for testing.
1290
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1292
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1293
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1295
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1297
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1300
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1301
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1303
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1304
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1305
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1307
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1310
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1311
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1313
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1314
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1315
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1316
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1318
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1319
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1321
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1322
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1323
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1325
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1328
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1329
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1330
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1331
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1332
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1333
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1335
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1336
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1337
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1338
many files. (Robert Collins)
1340
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1341
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1342
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1343
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1347
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1348
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1349
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1351
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1352
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1354
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1355
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1356
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1360
====================
1364
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1367
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1368
=======================
1372
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1373
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1375
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1376
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1377
(James Westby, #122656)
1379
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1380
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1382
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1383
authentication header.
1384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1386
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1388
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1389
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1391
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1393
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1394
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1396
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1397
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1398
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1400
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1401
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1402
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1404
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1405
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1407
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1410
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1411
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1413
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1415
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1419
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1420
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1421
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1422
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1423
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1424
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1426
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1427
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1428
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1430
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1433
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1434
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1436
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1437
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1439
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1440
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1442
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1443
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1444
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1445
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1446
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1448
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1449
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1451
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1452
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1453
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1455
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1456
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1458
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1460
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1461
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1463
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1464
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1467
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1470
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1471
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1473
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1474
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1476
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1477
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1479
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1481
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1482
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1484
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1489
* Testing cleanups -
1490
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1491
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1492
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1493
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1494
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1495
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1496
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1497
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1498
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1499
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1500
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1501
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1502
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1503
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1504
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1505
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1506
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1509
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1511
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1512
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1513
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1515
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1516
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1518
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1519
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1521
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1523
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1524
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1525
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1526
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1527
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1528
same location. (Robert Collins)
1532
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1534
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1536
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1538
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1541
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1544
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1545
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1546
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1548
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1550
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1551
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1552
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1554
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1555
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1557
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1558
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1559
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1561
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1562
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1563
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1565
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1566
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1567
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1569
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1570
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1573
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1574
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1576
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1577
(Alexander Belchenko)
1581
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1582
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1583
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1584
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1586
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1587
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1588
testing. (Robert Collins)
1590
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1591
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1593
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1594
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1595
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1596
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1597
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1598
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1599
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1601
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1602
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1603
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1604
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1606
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1607
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1609
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1610
avoid useless cloning.
1611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1615
====================
1619
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1620
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1622
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1623
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
1626
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1627
=======================
1629
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1631
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1632
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1633
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1634
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1635
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1636
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1637
and unlock() like so::
1639
work_tree.lock_read()
1641
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1646
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1647
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1649
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1650
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1651
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1653
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1654
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1655
too. (Robert Collins)
1659
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1660
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1663
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1664
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1666
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1667
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1669
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1670
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1671
understanding what changes have occurred
1672
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1674
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1675
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1676
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1678
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1679
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1680
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1681
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1683
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1688
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1689
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1690
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1691
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1692
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1694
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1695
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1696
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1698
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1701
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1705
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1706
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1708
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1709
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1711
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1712
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1714
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1715
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1717
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1718
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1720
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1721
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1722
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1725
====================
1729
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1730
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1731
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1732
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1733
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1735
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1736
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1737
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1739
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1740
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1744
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1745
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1746
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1748
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1749
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1750
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1751
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1753
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1754
=======================
1758
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1759
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1760
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1761
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1763
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1764
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1765
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1767
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1768
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1770
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1771
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1773
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1774
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1776
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1777
=======================
1779
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1781
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1782
it could be recovered again.
1783
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1784
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1785
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1787
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1789
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1790
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1794
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1795
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1797
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1798
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1799
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1800
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1802
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1803
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1805
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1806
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1807
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1809
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1810
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1811
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1813
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1814
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1815
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1817
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1818
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1821
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1824
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1825
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1826
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1827
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1829
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1832
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1833
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1834
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1837
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1838
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1840
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1841
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1843
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1844
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1845
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1846
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1849
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1850
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1852
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1853
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1855
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1856
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1857
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1859
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1860
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1861
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1863
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1864
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1865
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1867
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1868
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1869
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1870
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1872
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1873
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1874
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1875
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1877
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1878
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1879
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1880
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1881
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1882
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1883
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1884
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1890
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1891
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1893
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1894
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1895
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1896
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1897
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1899
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1900
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1902
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1903
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1905
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1906
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1908
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1909
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1911
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1912
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1913
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1916
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1917
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1918
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1919
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1920
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1923
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1924
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1925
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1927
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1928
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1931
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1932
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1933
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1936
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1937
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1938
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1939
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1940
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1942
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1943
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1944
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1945
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1947
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1948
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1950
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1951
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1952
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1953
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1954
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1955
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1957
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1958
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1960
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1961
help. (Robert Collins)
1963
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1964
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1966
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1967
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1968
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1969
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1970
(John Arbash Meinel)
1972
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1973
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1974
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1975
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1976
useful. (Robert Collins)
1978
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1983
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1984
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1986
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1987
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1989
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1990
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1991
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1993
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1996
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1997
the file, and does it faster.
1998
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2000
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2001
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2002
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2004
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2005
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2006
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2007
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2009
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2010
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2011
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2012
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2014
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2015
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2017
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2018
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2019
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2020
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2023
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2025
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2026
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2028
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2029
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2031
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2032
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2033
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2034
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2038
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2043
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2044
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2045
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2047
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2048
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2050
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2051
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2052
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2053
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2054
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2055
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2056
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2057
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2059
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2060
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2061
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2063
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2064
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2065
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2066
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2067
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2069
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2071
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2072
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2073
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2075
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2076
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2084
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2087
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2088
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2091
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2092
=======================
2096
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2097
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2102
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2103
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2104
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2105
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2106
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2107
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2108
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2109
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2114
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2115
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2116
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2118
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2119
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2122
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2123
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2124
(John Arbash Meinel)
2126
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2127
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2128
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2129
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2130
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2134
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2137
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2138
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2140
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2141
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2143
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2144
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2145
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2147
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2148
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2150
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2151
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2152
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2153
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2154
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2156
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2157
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2158
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2160
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2163
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2164
=======================
2166
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2168
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2169
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2170
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2174
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2175
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2177
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2178
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2180
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2182
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2183
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2185
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2186
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2190
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2195
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2196
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2197
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2198
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2200
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2201
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2203
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2204
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2206
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2209
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2210
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2213
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2214
=======================
2218
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2219
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2220
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2221
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2222
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2223
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2225
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2226
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2227
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2228
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2229
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2230
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2232
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2234
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2235
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2236
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2237
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2238
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2239
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2240
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2241
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2245
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2246
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2248
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2249
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2250
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2251
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2253
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2254
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2255
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2256
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2257
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2259
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2262
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2265
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2268
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2269
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2272
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2275
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2276
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2278
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2279
directory. (Martin Pool)
2281
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2282
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2283
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2284
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2286
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2287
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2288
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2289
in docs/configuration.txt.
2291
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2292
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2295
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2296
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2297
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2298
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2299
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2300
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2302
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2303
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2305
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2306
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2308
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2313
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2314
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2315
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2316
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2317
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2318
(John Arbash Meinel)
2320
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2321
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2324
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2325
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2326
(John Arbash Meinel)
2328
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2329
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2330
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2331
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2332
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2333
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2335
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2336
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2337
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2339
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2340
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2341
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2342
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2344
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2346
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2347
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2348
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2349
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2351
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2352
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2353
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2354
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2356
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2357
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2358
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2360
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2361
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2362
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2364
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2365
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2366
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2367
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2369
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2370
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2371
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2373
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2374
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2375
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2377
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2378
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2379
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2380
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2381
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2382
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2383
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2384
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2385
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2386
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2387
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2391
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2392
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2393
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2395
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2398
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2399
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2400
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2401
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2403
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2404
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2407
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2408
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2410
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2412
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2413
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2414
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2416
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2417
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2419
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2422
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2423
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2425
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2426
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2428
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2430
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2431
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2435
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2436
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2440
====================
2444
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2448
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2449
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2450
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2452
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2453
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2454
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2457
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2458
=======================
2462
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2463
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2464
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2465
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2467
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2470
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2471
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2472
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2474
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2475
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2477
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2480
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2481
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2482
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2483
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2484
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2485
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2487
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2488
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2489
should enable you to do::
2491
[/home/user/project]
2492
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2493
push_location:policy = appendpath
2495
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2496
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2499
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2500
for each file. For example::
2502
$ bzr status --short
2508
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2509
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2511
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2513
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2514
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2516
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2520
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2521
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2522
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2523
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2525
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2526
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2527
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2529
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2531
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2532
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2533
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2534
(Alexander Belchenko)
2536
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2539
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2540
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2542
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2546
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2547
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2549
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2550
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2551
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2552
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2553
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2555
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2556
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2558
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2559
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2561
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2563
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2565
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2566
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2567
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2568
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2569
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2571
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2572
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2573
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2574
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2576
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2577
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2579
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2580
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2582
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2583
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2585
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2586
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

====================
2592
No changes from 0.13rc1
2594
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2595
=======================
2599
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2601
(Daniel Silverstone)
2603
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2604
operations are substantially faster.
2605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2607
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2608
tree from some other url. For example:
2609
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2610
(Daniel Silverstone)
2612
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2613
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2614
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2615
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2617
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2620
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2621
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2622
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2623
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2624
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2625
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2629
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2630
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2633
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2634
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2635
(John Arbash Meinel)
2637
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2638
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2639
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2640
(John Arbash Meinel)
2642
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2643
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2645
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2646
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2648
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2649
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2654
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2655
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2656
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2658
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2659
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2660
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2661
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2663
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2665
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2666
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2668
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2669
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2670
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2673
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2674
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2675
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2677
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2678
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2679
them as full references rather than integers.
2680
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2682
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2683
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2685
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2687
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2688
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2690
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2691
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2693
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2694
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2695
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2696
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2698
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2699
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2700
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2702
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2703
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2705
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2706
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2707
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2708
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2709
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2713
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2714
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2717
====================
2721
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2722
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2723
(John Arbash Meinel)
2725
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2726
=======================
2730
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2731
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2732
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2733
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2735
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2736
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2738
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2740
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2741
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2742
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2743
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2745
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2746
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2747
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2748
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2749
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2751
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2753
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2754
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2758
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2759
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2760
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2762
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2763
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2764
(John Arbash Meinel)
2766
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2767
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2768
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2770
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2771
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2774
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2775
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2776
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2778
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2779
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2780
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2781
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2782
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2783
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2785
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2786
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2787
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2790
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2791
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2795
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2796
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2797
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2800
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2801
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2803
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2804
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2805
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2807
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2808
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2810
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2811
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2812
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2813
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2815
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2816
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2818
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2819
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2820
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2822
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2823
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2825
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2827
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2828
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2833
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2834
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2835
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2836
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2838
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2839
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2840
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2843
====================
2845
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2847
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2848
=======================
2852
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2854
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2857
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2858
=======================
2862
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2863
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2864
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2865
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2866
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2867
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2868
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2870
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2871
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2872
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2874
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2876
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2877
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2879
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2880
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2881
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2884
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2885
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2886
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2887
(John Arbash Meinel)
2889
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2890
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2891
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2892
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2895
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2896
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2897
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2898
(John Arbash Meinel)
2902
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2903
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2905
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2907
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2908
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2909
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2911
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2912
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2914
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2915
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2917
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2920
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2921
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2923
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2925
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2926
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2928
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2929
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2931
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2932
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2934
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2935
(John Arbash Meinel)
2937
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2938
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2939
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2941
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2942
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2944
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2945
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2946
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2947
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2949
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2950
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2951
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2953
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2954
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2958
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2962
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2963
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2964
(John Arbash Meinel)
2966
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2967
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2968
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2969
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2971
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2974
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2975
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2976
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2978
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2979
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2981
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2982
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2983
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2985
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2986
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2987
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2988
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2989
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2990
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2991
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2992
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2993
caller to repeat their request.
2994
(John Arbash Meinel)
2996
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2997
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2999
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3000
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3002
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3003
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3004
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3005
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3006
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3007
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3008
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3010
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3011
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3012
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3013
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3014
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3015
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3016
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3017
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3020
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3021
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3022
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3024
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3025
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3027
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3028
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3030
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3031
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3035
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3036
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3038
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3039
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3040
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3042
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3043
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3044
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3047
====================
3050
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3051
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3053
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3054
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3055
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3056
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3057
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3059
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3060
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3061
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3063
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3064
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3066
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3067
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3068
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3072
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3074
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3075
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3076
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3078
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3080
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3082
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3083
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3084
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3085
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3087
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3088
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3089
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3090
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3091
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3093
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3094
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3096
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3097
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3099
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3100
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3102
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3103
in handling of revision properties.
3104
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3106
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3107
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3111
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3112
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3113
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3114
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3115
(John Arbash Meinel)
3117
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3118
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3119
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3121
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3122
=====================
3126
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3127
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3128
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3129
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3130
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3131
a more conservative list than the old default.
3132
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3133
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3134
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3135
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3137
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3138
to more locations than just branch locations.
3143
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3144
revno:N:branch. For example,
3145
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3146
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3148
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3149
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3150
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3151
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3152
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3153
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3154
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3155
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3158
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3159
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3160
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3163
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3164
(Alexander Belchenko)
3166
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3168
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3171
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3172
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3173
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3174
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3175
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3176
(John Arbash Meinel)
3178
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3179
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3180
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3181
grained analysis of performance.
3182
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3184
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3185
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3187
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3188
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3189
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3190
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3191
file. (Robert Collins).
3193
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3194
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3195
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3197
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3198
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3201
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3202
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3204
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3205
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3206
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3207
the same way you would apply another branch.
3208
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3210
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3211
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3213
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3216
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3219
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3220
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3221
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3223
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3224
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3225
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3227
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3228
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3230
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3231
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3232
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3233
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3234
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3236
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3237
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3239
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3240
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3241
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3242
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3243
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3244
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3245
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3246
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3248
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3249
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3250
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3254
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3256
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3258
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3259
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3261
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3262
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3264
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3265
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3267
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3269
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3270
(John Arbash Meinel)
3272
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3273
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3275
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3276
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3279
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3280
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3282
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3283
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3285
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3286
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3287
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3288
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3290
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3291
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3293
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3295
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3296
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3298
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3300
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3302
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3303
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3305
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3306
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3308
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3309
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3310
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3312
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3313
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3314
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3316
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3317
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3319
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3320
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3322
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3323
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3325
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3326
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3328
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3329
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3331
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3332
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3333
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3335
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3337
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3338
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3342
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3343
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3344
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3346
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3347
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3349
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3350
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3351
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3353
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3354
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3356
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3357
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3360
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3361
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3362
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3364
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3365
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3366
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3368
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3369
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3370
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3372
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3373
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3374
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3376
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3377
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3378
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3380
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3381
instead. (Robert Collins)
3383
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3385
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3386
=====================
3390
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3392
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3393
=====================
3397
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3398
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3400
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3401
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3403
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3404
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3405
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3409
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3411
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3412
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3414
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3418
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3419
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3420
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3421
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3425
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3426
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3427
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3431
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3432
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3433
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3437
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3438
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3443
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3445
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3446
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3447
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3448
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3449
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3450
will keep the same format.
3452
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3453
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3454
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3455
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3456
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3458
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3459
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3460
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3461
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3462
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3463
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3464
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3466
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3467
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3468
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3469
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3470
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3472
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3473
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3474
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3480
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3481
convention. Paths now take the form::
3483
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3485
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3487
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3488
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3490
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3491
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3492
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3494
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3495
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3496
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3497
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3499
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3500
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3501
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3503
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3505
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3507
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3508
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3511
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3512
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3515
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3517
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3518
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3519
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3522
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3524
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3526
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3529
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3530
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3532
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3533
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3536
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3537
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3540
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3542
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3544
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3545
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3547
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3548
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3549
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3550
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3551
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3552
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3554
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3556
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3557
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3560
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3561
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3563
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3564
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3566
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3568
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3569
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3570
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3571
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3572
specification by Martin Pool.
3573
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3575
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3578
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3579
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3581
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3582
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3583
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3585
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3587
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3588
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3593
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3594
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3596
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3598
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3600
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3603
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3604
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3605
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3606
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3610
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3611
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3612
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3613
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3615
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3616
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3617
tried. (Martin Pool)
3619
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3622
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3624
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3625
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3626
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3628
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3629
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3631
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3632
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3633
paths. (Robert Collins)
3635
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3636
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3637
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3639
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3640
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3641
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3643
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3644
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3645
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3647
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3650
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3653
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3655
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3657
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3658
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3659
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3662
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3663
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3665
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3666
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3667
check. (Robert Collins)
3669
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3670
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3674
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3675
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3677
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3678
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3679
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3680
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3682
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3683
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3684
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3685
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3686
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3688
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3689
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3690
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3692
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3694
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3695
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3702
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3703
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3705
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3706
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3707
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3710
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3711
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3713
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3714
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3715
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3716
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3717
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3719
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3720
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3721
used. (Robert Collins)
3723
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3724
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3727
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3728
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3729
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3731
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3734
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3735
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3739
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3740
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3742
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3744
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3746
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3747
tree. (Robert Collins)
3749
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3750
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3751
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3754
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3757
* Tweaks to short log printing
3759
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3762
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3763
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3765
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3766
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3768
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3769
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3771
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3772
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3773
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3775
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3776
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3778
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3779
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3782
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3783
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3785
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3786
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3788
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3789
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3791
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3794
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3795
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3797
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3798
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3800
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3801
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3802
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3806
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3808
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3810
* Error when run with -OO
3812
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3815
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3817
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3819
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3820
ignored by diff and status
3822
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3823
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3825
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3827
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3829
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3830
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3832
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3833
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3835
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3838
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3839
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3841
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3843
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3844
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3846
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3849
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3850
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3852
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3856
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3857
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3859
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3861
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3863
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3865
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3866
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3867
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3869
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3871
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3872
(John Arbash Meinel)
3874
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3876
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3877
If adding a new test script please add that to
3878
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3880
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3881
imported. (Martin Pool)
3883
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3884
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3885
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3886
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3887
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3890
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3891
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3892
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3894
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3895
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3896
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3898
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3899
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3900
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3901
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3902
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3905
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3906
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3911
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3912
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3914
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3915
function. (Robert Collins)
3917
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3918
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3919
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3921
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3922
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3925
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3926
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3927
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3928
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3929
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3930
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3931
version. (Robert Collins)
3933
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3934
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3936
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3937
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3938
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3939
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3940
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3941
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3943
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3946
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3956
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3958
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3960
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3963
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3964
query method. (Robert Collins)
3966
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3969
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3972
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3975
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3976
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3977
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3978
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3980
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3981
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3982
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3983
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3985
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3986
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3993
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3996
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4000
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4001
a separator, not ':'.
4004
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4005
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4006
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4008
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4009
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4012
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4013
has been added that suppresses all output.
4015
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4018
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4019
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4021
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4022
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4024
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4025
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4027
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4028
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4029
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4030
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4032
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4034
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4035
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4037
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4038
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4040
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4041
output directory, if one was supplied.
4043
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4044
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4045
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4046
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4048
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4050
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4051
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4053
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4054
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4055
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4057
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4058
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4060
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4063
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4065
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4069
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4070
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4071
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4073
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4074
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4075
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4077
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4078
is given. (Martin Pool)
4080
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4081
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4082
file. (Robert Collins)
4084
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4089
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4090
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4091
representation. (Martin Pool).
4093
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4094
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4095
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4097
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4100
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4101
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4104
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4105
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4106
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4107
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4108
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4110
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4111
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4112
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4113
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4114
python path. (Robert Collins)
4116
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4117
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4118
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4119
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4121
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4122
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4124
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4125
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4128
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4129
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4130
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4132
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4133
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4134
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4136
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4137
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4139
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4140
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4141
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4144
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4145
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4146
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4147
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4150
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4153
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4154
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4157
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4158
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4159
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4161
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4162
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4163
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4165
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4166
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4167
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4169
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4170
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4172
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4173
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4174
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4175
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4176
caller. (Robert Collins)
4178
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4179
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4182
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4183
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4186
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4188
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4189
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4193
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4194
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4196
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4197
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4200
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4201
====================
4205
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4206
allow directories to be listed.
4208
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4209
upgrading branch format.
4213
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4221
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4222
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4223
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4224
high-latency connections.
4228
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4231
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4232
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4234
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4235
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4236
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4237
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4239
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4240
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4242
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4243
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4245
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4246
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4247
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4249
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4250
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4251
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4254
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4255
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4257
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4258
different partial views of history.
4260
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4261
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4265
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4266
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4267
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4269
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4270
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4273
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4274
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4276
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4279
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4280
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4282
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4283
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4284
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4285
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4287
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4289
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4290
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4293
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4294
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4296
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4297
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4298
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4303
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4304
for your viewing pleasure.
4306
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4307
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4309
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4310
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4311
handling of such circumstances.
4313
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4314
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4315
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4317
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4319
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4320
we call them revisions not patches.
4322
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4323
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4325
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4326
giving the revision *of that file*.
4328
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4329
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4330
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4334
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4335
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4337
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4338
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4341
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4342
====================
4346
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4348
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4351
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4353
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4355
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4356
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4360
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4361
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4363
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4364
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4365
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4366
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4369
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4370
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4374
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4376
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4377
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4380
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4381
====================
4385
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4386
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4387
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4388
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4391
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4394
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4395
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4396
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4397
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4398
for the operating system is still tried.
4400
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4401
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4402
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4407
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4411
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4413
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4416
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4422
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4424
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4427
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4428
====================
4432
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4433
help with intelligent shell completion.
4435
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4440
* Much better merge support.
4442
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4443
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4449
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4450
mention revisions that are not present.
4452
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4454
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4456
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4457
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4462
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4464
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4465
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4471
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4472
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4477
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4478
====================
4482
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4483
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4485
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4487
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4488
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4490
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4493
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4495
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4498
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4499
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4501
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4502
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4503
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4508
* Faster working tree operations.
4513
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4514
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4515
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4516
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4518
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4519
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4520
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4521
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4522
standard plugins directory.
4524
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4525
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4526
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4527
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4529
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4530
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4532
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4535
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4536
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4537
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4539
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4540
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4542
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4543
line options must come before the command name because they
4544
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4545
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4548
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4550
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4551
is available with ``--short``.
4556
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4559
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4560
=====================
4564
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4565
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4567
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4568
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4569
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4570
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4572
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4573
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4574
with the ``--forward`` option.
4576
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4577
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4583
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4584
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4586
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4588
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4589
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4591
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4593
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4594
either read or write mode.
4596
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4598
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4601
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4603
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4604
suggested by LarstiQ.
4606
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4607
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4609
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4612
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4613
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4615
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4616
haven't changed since the previous time.
4618
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4619
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4621
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4623
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4625
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4626
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4628
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4629
options through to an external GNU diff.
4631
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4634
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4640
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4641
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4643
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4649
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4650
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4653
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4654
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4656
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4657
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4659
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4660
under a different version.
4662
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4667
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.

4670
Scott James Remnant.
4672
* Better help messages for many commands.
4674
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4675
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4677
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4678
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4680
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4682
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4684
* New AtomicFile class.
4686
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4691
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4692
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4696
=====================
4700
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4701
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4703
* More default ignore patterns.
4705
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4706
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4708
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4710
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4713
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4718
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4719
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4720
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4721
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4722
there are DNS problems.
4724
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4729
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4731

4733
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4734
trailing newlines properly.
4739

4742
* More tests in test.sh.
4744
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4745
directory and delete it when done.
4747
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4752
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4755
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4759

4777
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4781
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4782
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4787
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4788
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4793
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4797
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4805
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4809
===================================
4813
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).

* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4822
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4825
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4826
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4828
* Performance improvements.
4830
* New global --profile option.
4832
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4833
the root directory only.
4836
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4837
=====================
4841
* More information from info command.
4843
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.

4846
committing to stores.
4848
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4852
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.

4857
installation easier.
4859
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
