12
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
13
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
14
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
15
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
19
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
22
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
23
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
24
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
25
client. (Andrew Bennetts, #178353)
27
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
30
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
31
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
35
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
38
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
39
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
40
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
42
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
44
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
45
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
46
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
47
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
48
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
50
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
51
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
52
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
54
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
55
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
57
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
58
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
60
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
63
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
65
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
67
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
70
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
71
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
75
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
76
(Martin Pool, #180208)
78
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
79
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
81
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
84
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
85
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
87
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
88
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
90
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
91
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
93
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
94
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
96
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
97
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
98
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
100
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
103
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
104
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
107
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
109
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
110
user:pass embedded in the urls.
111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
113
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
114
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
116
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
119
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
120
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
122
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
125
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
126
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
128
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
131
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
132
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
135
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
136
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
141
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
144
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
145
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
146
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
147
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
148
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
149
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
151
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
155
* Add -Dtimes debug flag, which records a timestamp against each mutter to
156
the trace file, relative to the first mutter. (Andrew Bennetts)
158
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
161
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
162
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
164
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
166
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
167
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
168
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
170
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
171
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
172
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
175
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
176
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
178
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
181
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
182
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
183
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
184
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
190
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
191
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
192
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
194
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
195
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
198
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
199
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
201
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
202
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
204
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
205
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
207
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
208
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
209
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
211
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
212
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
214
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
215
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
217
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
218
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
221
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
222
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
224
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
225
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
233
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
235
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
238
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
240
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
241
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
245
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
246
---------------------
250
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
251
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
252
by mail to the mailing list.
257
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
259
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
260
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
261
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
262
feedback but also incur more latency.
263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
265
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
266
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
270
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
272
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
277
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
278
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
279
wraps its output in a StringIO.
283
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
284
---------------------
288
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
290
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
293
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
296
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
297
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
298
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
299
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
301
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
304
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
305
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
307
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
308
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
309
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
311
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
312
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
313
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
314
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
315
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
316
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
317
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
318
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
319
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
323
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
326
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
330
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
331
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
333
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
335
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
337
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
338
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
342
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
343
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
345
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
346
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
350
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
351
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
354
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
355
---------------------
357
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
359
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
360
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
361
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
362
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
364
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
365
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
367
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
368
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
370
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
371
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
372
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
373
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
374
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
375
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
376
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
377
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
378
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
379
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
380
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
381
from any tree without problems.
382
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
386
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
387
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
388
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
390
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
391
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
392
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
397
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
398
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
399
supported transports.
402
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
403
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
404
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
406
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
407
(Robert Collins, #154173)
409
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
410
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
411
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
412
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
414
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
415
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
419
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
420
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
421
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
422
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
424
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
425
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
426
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
427
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
429
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
430
(Robert Collins, #88319)
432
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
433
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
435
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
436
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
438
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
439
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
444
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
447
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
448
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
451
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
452
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
453
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
454
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
456
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
457
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
458
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
459
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
465
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
466
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
468
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
469
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
471
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
472
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
474
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
475
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
477
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
478
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
480
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
481
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
483
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
484
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
486
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
489
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
492
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
493
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
494
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
496
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
497
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
499
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
500
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
502
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
503
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
505
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
506
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
508
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
509
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
510
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
511
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
513
(Martin Pool, #164637)
515
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
516
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
519
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
520
(Robert Collins, #161240)
522
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
524
(Martin Pool, #164443)
526
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
527
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
529
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
530
specify a port in urls.
531
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
533
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
534
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
536
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
537
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
539
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
540
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
542
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
543
(Robert Collins, #153789)
545
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
546
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
547
(Robert Collins, #165304).
549
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
551
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
552
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
554
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
557
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
558
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
560
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
561
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
563
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
564
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
565
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
567
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
568
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
570
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
571
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
572
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
573
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
575
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
576
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
578
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
579
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
580
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
582
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
583
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
585
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
586
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
588
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
593
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
594
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
596
* The return value of
597
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
598
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
599
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
600
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
602
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
605
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
606
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
612
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
613
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
614
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
617
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
618
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
620
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
630
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
633
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
634
----------------------
636
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
640
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
641
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
643
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
644
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
645
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
646
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
647
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
648
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
649
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
650
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
651
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
652
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
653
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
654
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
659
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
660
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
661
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
662
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
663
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
664
for further details. (Robert Collins)
666
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
667
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
668
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
671
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
673
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
674
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
676
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
677
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
680
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
681
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
682
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
686
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
687
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
689
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
690
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
692
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
693
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
694
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
695
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
697
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
700
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
701
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
702
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
703
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
705
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
706
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
708
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
709
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
711
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
712
the contents. (Robert Collins)
714
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
715
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
719
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
720
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
722
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
723
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
725
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
726
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
728
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
729
(Martin Pool, #63894)
731
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
732
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
736
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
738
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
743
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
744
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
745
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
747
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
748
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
750
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
751
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
753
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
754
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
755
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
756
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
758
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
759
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
760
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
761
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
762
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
764
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
765
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
769
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
771
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
772
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
774
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
775
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
777
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
780
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
781
contains a symbolic link.
782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
784
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
785
(James Westby, #140615)
787
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
788
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
791
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
792
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
793
(Martin Pool, #144633)
795
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
797
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
800
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
804
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
805
directory to detect leaking tests.
806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
808
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
809
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
810
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
812
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
815
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
816
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
818
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
823
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
824
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
826
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
827
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
828
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
830
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
831
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
832
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
834
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
835
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
837
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
838
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
840
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
841
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
844
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
845
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
847
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
851
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
852
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
854
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
855
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
856
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
858
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
859
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
860
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
863
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
864
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
865
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
866
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
871
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
872
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
873
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
875
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
876
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
877
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
878
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
880
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
881
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
884
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
885
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
886
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
888
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
889
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
890
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
892
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
893
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
895
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
896
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
897
to complete. (Robert Collins)
899
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
900
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
902
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
903
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
904
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
906
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
907
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
908
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
910
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
911
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
912
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
913
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
915
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
916
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
917
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
918
returned. (Robert Collins)
920
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
921
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
923
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
924
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
925
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
926
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
929
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
930
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
934
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
935
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
937
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
938
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
939
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
940
makes this behavior available to other users.
943
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
944
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
952
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
953
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
954
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
956
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
958
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
959
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
960
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
961
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
963
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
964
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
968
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
969
----------------------
971
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
975
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
976
----------------------
980
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
981
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
982
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
983
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
986
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
987
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
988
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
993
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
994
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
995
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
998
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
999
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1000
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1002
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1003
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1004
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1006
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1007
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1009
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1010
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1011
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1012
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1013
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1014
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1015
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1016
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1017
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1018
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1020
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1021
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1023
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1024
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1025
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1029
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1030
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1032
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1033
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1034
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1036
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1037
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1039
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1040
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1042
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1045
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1046
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1048
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1049
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1052
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1054
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1055
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1057
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1059
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1062
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1063
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1064
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1065
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1067
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1069
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1070
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1073
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1074
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1076
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1077
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1080
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1081
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1083
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1084
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1086
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1087
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1088
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1089
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1090
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1091
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1092
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1094
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1095
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1097
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1098
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1100
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1101
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1103
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1106
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1110
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1111
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1113
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1114
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1115
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1117
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1118
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1119
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1123
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1124
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1126
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1129
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1132
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1133
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1135
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1137
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1138
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1140
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1141
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1143
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1144
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1145
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1146
space). (Robert Collins)
1148
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1149
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1152
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1153
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1155
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1156
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1158
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1159
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1160
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1161
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1163
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1164
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1165
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1168
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1171
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1172
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1173
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1175
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1176
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1177
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1178
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1179
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1183
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1184
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1186
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1187
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1188
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1189
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1190
affected. (Robert Collins)
1192
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1193
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1194
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1197
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1198
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1202
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1203
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1205
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1206
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1208
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1209
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1211
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1214
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1215
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1219
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1220
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1221
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1222
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1224
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1225
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1227
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1228
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1229
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1230
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1232
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1233
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1234
present. (Robert Collins)
1236
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1237
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1238
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1239
API. (Robert Collins)
1241
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1242
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1245
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1246
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1248
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1249
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1250
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1251
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1252
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1253
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1255
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1256
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1257
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1259
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1260
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1261
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1262
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1265
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1268
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1269
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1270
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1271
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1272
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1273
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1274
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1276
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1277
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1278
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1279
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1281
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1282
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1283
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1284
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1285
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1286
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1288
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1289
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1290
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1292
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1293
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1301
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1302
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1303
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1304
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1305
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1306
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1307
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1308
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1313
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1314
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1315
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1318
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1319
----------------------
1323
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1324
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1325
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1326
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1327
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1329
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1332
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1336
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1337
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1340
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1341
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1344
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1347
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1348
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1350
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1351
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1353
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1354
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1356
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1357
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1359
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1360
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1362
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1367
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1368
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1370
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1371
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1373
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1374
the repository (Robert Collins)
1376
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1377
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1378
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1379
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1380
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1382
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1383
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1385
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1386
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1387
(John Arbash Meinel)
1389
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1390
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1391
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1393
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1394
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1395
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1396
(John Arbash Meinel)
1398
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1399
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1402
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1403
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1405
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1408
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1410
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1412
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1413
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1415
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1416
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1419
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1420
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1421
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1422
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1424
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1425
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1426
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1428
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1429
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1430
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1432
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1433
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1435
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1436
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1437
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1438
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1439
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1440
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1443
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1444
(Alexander Belchenko)
1446
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1447
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1449
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1450
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1452
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1454
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1455
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1459
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1460
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1461
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1462
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1464
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1466
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1469
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1470
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1471
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1472
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1473
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1474
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1478
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1479
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1480
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1481
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1483
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1484
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1485
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1486
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1487
tests have been refactored too.
1490
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1491
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1492
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1496
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1497
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1498
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1500
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1501
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1502
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1503
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1504
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1505
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1506
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1508
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1509
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1510
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1511
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1512
(John Arbash Meinel)
1514
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1515
functionality for testing.
1517
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1519
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1520
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1522
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1524
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1527
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1528
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1530
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1531
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1532
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1534
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1537
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1538
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1540
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1541
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1542
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1543
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1545
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1546
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1548
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1549
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1550
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1552
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1555
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1556
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1557
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1558
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1559
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1560
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1562
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1563
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1564
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1565
many files. (Robert Collins)
1567
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1568
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1569
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1570
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1574
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1575
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1576
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1578
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1579
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1581
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1582
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1583
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1587
--------------------
1591
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1594
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1595
-----------------------
1599
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1600
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1602
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1603
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1604
(James Westby, #122656)
1606
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1607
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1609
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1610
authentication header.
1611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1613
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1615
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1616
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1618
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1620
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1623
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1624
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1627
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1628
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1629
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1631
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1632
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1634
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1637
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1638
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1640
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1642
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1646
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1647
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1648
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1649
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1650
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1651
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1653
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1654
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1655
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1657
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1660
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1661
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1663
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1664
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1666
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1667
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1669
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1670
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1671
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1672
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1673
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1675
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1676
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1678
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1679
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1680
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1682
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1683
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1685
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1687
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1688
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1690
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1691
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1694
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1697
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1698
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1700
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1701
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1703
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1704
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1706
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1708
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1709
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1711
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1716
* Testing cleanups -
1717
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1718
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1719
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1720
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1721
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1722
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1723
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1724
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1725
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1726
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1727
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1728
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1729
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1730
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1731
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1732
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1733
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1736
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1738
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1739
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1740
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1742
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1743
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1745
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1746
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1748
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1750
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1751
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1752
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1753
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1754
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1755
same location. (Robert Collins)
1759
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1761
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1763
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1765
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1768
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1771
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1772
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1773
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1775
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1777
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1778
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1779
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1781
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1782
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1784
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1785
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1786
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1788
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1789
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1790
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1792
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1793
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1794
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1796
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1797
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1800
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1801
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1803
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1804
(Alexander Belchenko)
1808
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1809
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1810
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1811
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1813
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1814
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1815
testing. (Robert Collins)
1817
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1818
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1820
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1821
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1822
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1823
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1824
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1825
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1826
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1828
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1829
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1830
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1831
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1833
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1834
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1836
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1837
avoid useless cloning.
1838
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1842
--------------------
1846
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1847
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1849
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1850

-----------------------
1856
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1858
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1859
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1860
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1861
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1862
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1863
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1864
and unlock() like so::
1866
work_tree.lock_read()
1868
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1873
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1874
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1876
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1877
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1878
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1880
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1881
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1882
too. (Robert Collins)
1886
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1887
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1890
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1891
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1893
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1894
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1896
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1897
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1898
understanding what changes have occurred
1899
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1901
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1902
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1903
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1905
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1906
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1907
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1908
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1910
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1915
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1916
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1917
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1918
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1919
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1921
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1922
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1923
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1925
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1926
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1928
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1932
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1933
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1935
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1936
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1938
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1939
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1941
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1942
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1944
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1945
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1947
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1948
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1949
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1952
--------------------
1956
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1957
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1958
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1959
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1960
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1962
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1963
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1964
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1966
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1967
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1971
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1972
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1973
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1975
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1976
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1977
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1978
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1980
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1981
-----------------------
1985
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1986
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1987
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1988
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1990
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1991
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1992
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1994
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1995
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1997
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1998
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2000
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2001
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2003
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2004
-----------------------
2006
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2008
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2009
it could be recovered again.
2010
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2011
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2012
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2014
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2016
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2017
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2021
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2022
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2024
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2025
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2026
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2027
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2029
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2030
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2032
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2033
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2034
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2036
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2037
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2038
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2040
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2041
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2042
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2044
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2045
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2048
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2051
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2052
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2053
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2054
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2056
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2059
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2060
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2061
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2064
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2065
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2067
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2068
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2070
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2071
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2072
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2073
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2076
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2077
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2079
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2080
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2082
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2083
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2084
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2086
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2087
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2088
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2090
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2091
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2092
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2094
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2095
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2096
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2097
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2099
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2100
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2101
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2102
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2104
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2105
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2106
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2107
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2108
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2109
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2110
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2111
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2117
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2118
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2120
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2121
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2122
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2123
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2124
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2126
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2127
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2129
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2130
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2132
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2133
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2135
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2136
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2138
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2139
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2140
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2143
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2144
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2145
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2146
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2147
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2150
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2151
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2152
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2154
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2155
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2158
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2159
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2160
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2163
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2164
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2165
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2166
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2167
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2169
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2170
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2171
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2172
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2174
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2175
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2177
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2178
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2179
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2180
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2181
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2182
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2184
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2185
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2187
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2188
help. (Robert Collins)
2190
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2191
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2193
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2194
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2195
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2196
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2197
(John Arbash Meinel)
2199
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2200
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2201
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2202
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2203
useful. (Robert Collins)
2205
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2210
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2211
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2213
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2214
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2216
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2217
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2218
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2220
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2223
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2224
the file, and does it faster.
2225
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2227
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2228
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2229
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2231
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2232
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2233
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2234
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2236
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2237
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2238
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2239
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2241
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2242
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2244
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2245
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2246
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2247
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2250
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2252
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2253
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2255
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2256
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2258
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2259
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2260
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2261
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2265
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2266
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2270
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2271
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2272
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2274
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2275
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2277
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2278
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2279
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2280
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2281
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2282
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2283
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2284
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2286
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2287
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2288
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2290
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2291
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2292
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2293
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2294
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2296
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2298
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2299
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2300
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2302
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2303
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2311
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2314
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2315
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2318
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2319
-----------------------
2323
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2324
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2329
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2330
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2331
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2332
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2333
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2334
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2335
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2336
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2341
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2342
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2343
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2345
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2346
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2349
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2350
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2351
(John Arbash Meinel)
2353
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2354
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2355
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2356
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2357
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2361
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2364
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2365
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2367
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2368
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2370
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2371
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2372
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2374
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2375
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2377
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2378
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2379
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2380
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2381
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2383
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2384
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2385
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2387
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2390
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2391
-----------------------
2393
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2395
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2396
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2397
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2401
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2402
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2404
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2405
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2407
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2409
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2410
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2412
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2413
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2417
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2422
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2423
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2424
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2425
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2427
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2428
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2430
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2431
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2433
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2436
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2437
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2440
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2441
-----------------------
2445
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2446
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2447
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2448
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2449
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2450
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2452
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2453
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2454
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2455
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2456
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2457
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2459
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2461
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2462
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2463
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2464
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2465
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2466
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2467
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2468
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2472
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2473
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2475
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2476
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2477
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2478
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2480
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2481
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2482
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2483
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2484
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2486
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2489
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2492
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2495
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2496
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2499
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2502
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2503
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2505
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2506
directory. (Martin Pool)
2508
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2509
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2510
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2511
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2513
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2514
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2515
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2516
in docs/configuration.txt.
2518
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2519
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2522
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2523
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2524
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2525
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2526
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2527
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2529
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2530
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2532
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2533
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2535
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2540
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2541
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2542
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2543
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2544
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2545
(John Arbash Meinel)
2547
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2548
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2551
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2552
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2553
(John Arbash Meinel)
2555
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2556
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2557
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2558
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2559
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2560
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2562
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2563
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2564
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2566
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2567
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2568
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2569
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2571
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2573
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2574
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2575
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2576
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2578
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2579
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2580
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2581
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2583
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2584
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2585
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2587
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2588
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2589
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2591
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2592
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2593
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2594
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2596
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2597
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2598
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2600
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2601
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2602
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2604
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2605
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2606
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2607
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2608
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2609
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2610
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2611
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2612
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2613
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2614
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2618
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2619
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2620
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2622
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2625
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2626
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2627
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2628
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2630
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2631
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2634
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2635
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2637
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2639
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2640
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2641
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2643
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2644
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2646
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2649
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2652
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2653
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2655
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2657
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2658
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2662
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2663
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2667
--------------------
2671
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2675
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2676
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2677
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2679
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2680
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2681
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2684
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2685
-----------------------
2689
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2690
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2691
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2692
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2694
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2697
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2698
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2699
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2701
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2702
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2704
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2707
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2708
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2709
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2710
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2711
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2712
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2714
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2715
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2716
should enable you to do::
2718
[/home/user/project]
2719
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2720
push_location:policy = appendpath
2722
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2723
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2726
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2727
for each file. For example::
2729
$ bzr status --short
2735
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2736
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2738
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2740
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2741
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2743
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2747
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2748
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2749
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2750
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2752
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2753
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2754
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2756
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2758
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2759
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2760
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2761
(Alexander Belchenko)
2763
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2766
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2767
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2769
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2773
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2774
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2776
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2777
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2778
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2779
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2780
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2782
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2783
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2785
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2786
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2788
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2790
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2792
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2793
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2794
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2795
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2796
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2798
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2799
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2800
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2801
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2803
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2804
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2806
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2807
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2809
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2810
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2812
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2813
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
2817
--------------------
2819
No changes from 0.13rc1
2821
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2822
-----------------------
2826
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2828
(Daniel Silverstone)
2830
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2831
operations are substantially faster.
2832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2834
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2835
tree from some other url. For example:
2836
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2837
(Daniel Silverstone)
2839
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2840
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2841
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2842
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2844
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2847
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2848
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2849
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2850
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2851
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2852
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2856
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2857
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2860
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2861
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2862
(John Arbash Meinel)
2864
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2865
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2866
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2867
(John Arbash Meinel)
2869
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2870
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2872
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2873
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2875
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2876
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2881
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2882
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2883
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2885
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2886
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2887
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2888
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2890
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2892
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2893
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2895
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2896
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2897
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2900
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2901
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2902
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2904
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2905
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2906
them as full references rather than integers.
2907
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2909
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2910
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2912
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2914
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2915
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2917
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2918
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2920
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2921
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2922
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2923
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2925
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2926
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2927
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2929
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2930
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2932
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2933
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2934
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2935
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2936
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2940
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2941
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2944
--------------------
2948
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2949
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2950
(John Arbash Meinel)
2952
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2953
-----------------------
2957
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2958
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2959
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2960
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2962
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2963
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2965
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2967
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2968
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2969
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2970
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2972
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2973
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2974
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2975
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2976
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2978
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2980
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2981
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2985
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2986
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2987
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2989
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2990
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2991
(John Arbash Meinel)
2993
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2994
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2995
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2997
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2998
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3001
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3002
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3003
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3005
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3006
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3007
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3008
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3009
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3010
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3012
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3013
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3014
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3017
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3018
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3022
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3023
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3024
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3027
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3028
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3030
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3031
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3032
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3034
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3035
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3037
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3038
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3039
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3040
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3042
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3043
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3045
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3046
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3047
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3049
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3050
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3052
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3054
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3055
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3060
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3061
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3062
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3063
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3065
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3066
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3067
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3070
--------------------
3072
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3074
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3075
-----------------------
3079
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3081
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3084
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3085
-----------------------
3089
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3090
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3091
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3092
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3093
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3094
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3095
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3097
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3098
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3099
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3101
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3103
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3104
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3106
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3107
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3108
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3111
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3112
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3113
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3114
(John Arbash Meinel)
3116
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3117
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3118
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3119
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3122
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3123
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3124
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3125
(John Arbash Meinel)
3129
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3130
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3132
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3134
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3135
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3136
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3138
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3139
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3141
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3142
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3144
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3147
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3148
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3150
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3152
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3153
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3155
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3156
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3158
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3159
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3161
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3162
(John Arbash Meinel)
3164
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3165
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3166
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3168
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3169
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3171
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3172
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3173
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3174
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3176
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3177
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3178
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3180
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3181
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3185
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3189
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3190
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3191
(John Arbash Meinel)
3193
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3194
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3195
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3196
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3198
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3201
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3202
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3203
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3205
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3206
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3208
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3209
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3210
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3212
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3213
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3214
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3215
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3216
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3217
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3218
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3219
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3220
caller to repeat their request.
3221
(John Arbash Meinel)
3223
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3224
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3226
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3227
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3229
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3230
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3231
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3232
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3233
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3234
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3235
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3237
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3238
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3239
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3240
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3241
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3242
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3243
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3244
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3247
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3248
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3249
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3251
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3252
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3254
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3255
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3257
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3258
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3262
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3263
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3265
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3266
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3267
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3269
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3270
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3271
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3274
--------------------
3277
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3278
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3280
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3281
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3282
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3283
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3284
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3286
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3287
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3288
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3290
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3291
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3293
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3294
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3295
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3299
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3301
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3302
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3303
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3305
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3307
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3309
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3310
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3311
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3312
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3314
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3315
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3316
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3317
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3318
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3320
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3321
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3323
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3324
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3326
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3327
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3329
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3330
in handling of revision properties.
3331
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3333
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3334
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3338
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3339
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3340
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3341
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3342
(John Arbash Meinel)
3344
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3345
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3346
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3348
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3349
---------------------
3353
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3354
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3355
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3356
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3357
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3358
a more conservative list than the old default.
3359
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3360
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3361
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3362
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3364
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3365
to more locations than just branch locations.
3370
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3371
revno:N:branch. For example,
3372
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3373
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3375
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3376
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3377
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3378
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3379
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3380
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3381
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3382
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3385
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3386
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3387
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3390
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3391
(Alexander Belchenko)
3393
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3395
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3398
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3399
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3400
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3401
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3402
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3403
(John Arbash Meinel)
3405
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3406
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3407
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3408
grained analysis of performance.
3409
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3411
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3412
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3414
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3415
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3416
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3417
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3418
file. (Robert Collins).
3420
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3421
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3422
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3424
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3425
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3428
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3429
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3431
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3432
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3433
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3434
the same way you would apply another branch.
3435
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3437
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3438
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3440
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3443
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3446
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3447
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3448
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3450
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3451
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3452
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3454
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3455
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3457
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3458
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3459
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3460
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3461
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3463
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3464
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3466
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3467
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3468
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3469
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3470
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3471
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3472
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3473
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3475
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3476
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3477
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3481
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3483
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3485
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3486
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3488
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3489
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3491
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3492
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3494
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3496
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3497
(John Arbash Meinel)
3499
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3500
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3502
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3503
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3506
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3507
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3509
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3510
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3512
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3513
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3514
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3515
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3517
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3518
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3520
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3522
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3523
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3525
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3527
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3529
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3530
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3532
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3533
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3535
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3536
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3537
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3539
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3540
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3541
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3543
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3544
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3546
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3547
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3549
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3550
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3552
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3553
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3555
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3556
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3558
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3559
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3560
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3562
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3564
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3565
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3569
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3570
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3571
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3573
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3574
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3576
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3577
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3578
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3580
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3581
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3583
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3584
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3587
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3588
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3589
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3591
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3592
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3593
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3595
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3596
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3597
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3599
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3600
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3601
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3603
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3604
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3605
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3607
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3608
instead. (Robert Collins)
3610
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3612
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3613
---------------------
3617
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3619
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3620
---------------------
3624
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3625
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3627
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3628
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3630
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3631
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3632
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3636
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3638
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3639
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3641
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3645
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3646
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3647
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3648
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3652
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3653
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3654
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3658
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3659
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3660
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3664
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3665
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3670
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3672
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3673
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3674
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3675
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3676
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3677
will keep the same format.
3679
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3680
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3681
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3682
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3683
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3685
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3686
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3687
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3688
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3689
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3690
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3691
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3693
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3694
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3695
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3696
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3697
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3699
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3700
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3701
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3707
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3708
convention. Paths now take the form::
3710
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3712
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3714
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3715
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3717
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3718
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3719
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3721
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3722
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3723
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3724
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3726
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3727
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3728
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3730
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3732
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3734
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3735
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3738
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3739
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3742
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3744
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3745
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3746
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3749
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3751
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3753
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3756
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3757
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3759
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3760
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3763
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3764
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3767
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3769
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3771
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3772
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3774
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3775
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3776
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3777
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3778
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3779
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3781
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3783
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3784
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3787
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3788
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3790
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3791
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3793
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3795
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3796
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3797
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3798
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3799
specification by Martin Pool.
3800
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3802
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3805
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3806
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3808
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3809
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3810
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3812
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3814
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3815
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3820
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3821
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3823
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3825
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3827
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3830
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3831
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3832
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3833
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3837
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3838
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3839
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3840
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3842
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3843
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3844
tried. (Martin Pool)
3846
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3849
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3851
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3852
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3853
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3855
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3856
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3858
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3859
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3860
paths. (Robert Collins)
3862
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3863
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3864
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3866
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3867
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3868
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3870
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3871
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3872
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3874
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3877
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3880
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3882
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3884
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3885
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3886
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3889
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3890
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3892
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3893
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3894
check. (Robert Collins)
3896
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3897
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3901
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3902
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3904
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3905
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3906
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3907
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3909
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3910
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3911
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3912
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3913
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3915
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3916
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3917
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3919
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3921
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3922
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3929
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3930
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3932
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3933
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3934
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3937
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3938
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3940
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3941
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3942
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3943
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3944
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3946
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3947
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3948
used. (Robert Collins)
3950
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3951
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3954
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3955
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3956
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3958
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3961
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3962
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3966
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3967
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3969
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3971
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3973
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3974
tree. (Robert Collins)
3976
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3977
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3978
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3981
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3984
* Tweaks to short log printing
3986
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3989
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3990
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3992
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3993
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3995
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3996
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3998
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3999
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4000
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4002
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4003
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4005
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4006
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4009
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4010
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4012
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4013
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4015
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4016
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4018
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4021
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4022
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4024
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4025
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4027
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4028
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4029
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4033
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4035
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4037
* Error when run with -OO
4039
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4042
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4044
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4046
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4047
ignored by diff and status
4049
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4050
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4052
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4054
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4056
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4057
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4059
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4060
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4062
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4065
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4066
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4068
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4070
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4071
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4073
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4076
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4077
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4079
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4083
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4084
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4086
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4088
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4090
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4092
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4093
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4094
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4096
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4098
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4099
(John Arbash Meinel)
4101
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4103
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4104
If adding a new test script please add that to
4105
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4107
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4108
imported. (Martin Pool)
4110
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4111
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4112
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4113
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4114
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4117
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4118
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4119
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4121
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4122
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4123
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4125
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4126
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4127
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4128
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4129
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4132
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4133
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4138
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4139
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4141
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4142
function. (Robert Collins)
4144
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4145
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4146
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4148
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4149
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4152
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4153
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4154
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4155
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4156
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4157
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4158
version. (Robert Collins)
4160
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4161
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4163
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4164
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4165
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4166
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4167
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4168
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4170
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4173
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4183
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4185
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4187
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4190
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4191
query method. (Robert Collins)
4193
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4196
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4199
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4202
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4203
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4204
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4205
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4207
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4208
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4209
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4210
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4212
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4213
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4220
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4223
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4227
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4228
a separator, not ':'.
4231
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4232
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4233
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4235
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4236
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4239
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4240
has been added that suppresses all output.
4242
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4245
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4246
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4248
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4249
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4251
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4252
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4254
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4255
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4256
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4257
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4259
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4261
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4262
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4264
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4265
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4267
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4268
output directory, if one was supplied.
4270
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4271
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4272
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4273
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4275
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4277
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4278
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4280
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4281
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4282
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4284
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4285
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4287
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4290
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4292
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4296
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4297
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4298
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4300
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4301
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4302
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4304
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4305
is given. (Martin Pool)
4307
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4308
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4309
file. (Robert Collins)
4311
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4316
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4317
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4318
representation. (Martin Pool).
4320
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4321
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4322
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4324
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4327
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4328
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4331
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4332
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4333
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4334
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4335
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4337
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4338
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4339
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4340
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4341
python path. (Robert Collins)
4343
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4344
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4345
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4346
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4348
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4349
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4351
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4352
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4355
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4356
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4357
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4359
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4360
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4361
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4363
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4364
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4366
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4367
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4368
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4371
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4372
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4373
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4374
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4377
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4380
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4381
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4384
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4385
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4386
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4388
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4389
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4390
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4392
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4393
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4394
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4396
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4397
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4399
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4400
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4401
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4402
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4403
caller. (Robert Collins)
4405
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4406
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4409
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4410
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4413
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4415
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4416
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4420
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4421
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4423
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4424
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4427
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4428
--------------------
4432
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4433
allow directories to be listed.
4435
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4436
upgrading branch format.
4440
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4448
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4449
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4450
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4451
high-latency connections.
4455
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4458
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4459
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4461
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4462
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4463
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4464
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4466
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4467
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4469
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4470
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4472
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4473
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4474
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4476
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4477
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4478
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4481
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4482
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4484
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4485
different partial views of history.
4487
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4488
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4492
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4493
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4494
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4496
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4497
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4500
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4501
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4503
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4506
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4507
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4509
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4510
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4511
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4512
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4514
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4516
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4517
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4520
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4521
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4523
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4524
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4525
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4530
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4531
for your viewing pleasure.
4533
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4534
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4536
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4537
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4538
handling of such circumstances.
4540
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4541
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4542
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4544
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4546
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4547
we call them revisions not patches.
4549
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4550
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4552
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4553
giving the revision *of that file*.
4555
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4556
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4557
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4561
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4562
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4564
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4565
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4568
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4569
--------------------
4573
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4575
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4578
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4580
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4582
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4583
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4587
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4588
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4590
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4591
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4592
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4593
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4596
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4597
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4601
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4603
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4604
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4607
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4608
--------------------
4612
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4613
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4614
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4615
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4618
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4621
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4622
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4623
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4624
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4625
for the operating system is still tried.
4627
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4628
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4629
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4634
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4638
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4640
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4643
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4649
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4651
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4654
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4655
--------------------
4659
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4660
help with intelligent shell completion.
4662
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4667
* Much better merge support.
4669
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4670
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4676
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4677
mention revisions that are not present.
4679
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4681
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4683
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4684
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4689
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4691
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4692
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4698
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4699
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4704
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4705
--------------------
4709
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4710
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4712
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4714
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4715
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4717
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4720
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4722
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4725
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4726
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4728
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4729
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4730
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4735
* Faster working tree operations.
4740
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4741
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4742
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4743
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4745
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4746
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4747
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4748
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4749
standard plugins directory.
4751
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4752
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4753
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4754
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4756
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4757
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4759
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4762
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4763
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4764
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4766
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4767
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4769
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4770
line options must come before the command name because they
4771
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4772
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4775
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4777
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4778
is available with ``--short``.
4783
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4786
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4787
---------------------
4791
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4792
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4794
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4795
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4796
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4797
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4799
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4800
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4801
with the ``--forward`` option.
4803
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4804
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4810
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4811
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4813
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4815
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4816
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4818
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4820
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4821
either read or write mode.
4823
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4825
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4828
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4830
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4831
suggested by LarstiQ.
4833
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4834
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4836
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4839
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4840
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4842
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4843
haven't changed since the previous time.
4845
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4846
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4848
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4850
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4852
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4853
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4855
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4856
options through to an external GNU diff.
4858
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4861
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4867
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4868
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4870
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4876
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4877
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4880
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4881
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4883
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4884
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4886
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4887
under a different version.
4889
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4894
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4896
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4897
Scott James Remnant.
4899
* Better help messages for many commands.
4901
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4902
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4904
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4905
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4907
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4909
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4911
* New AtomicFile class.
4913
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4918
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4919
2.4 is now only recommended.
4922
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4923
---------------------
4927
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4928
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4930
* More default ignore patterns.
4932
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4933
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4935
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4937
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4940
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4945
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4946
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4947
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4948
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4949
there are DNS problems.
4951
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4956
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4958
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4960
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4961
trailing newlines properly.
4966
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4969
* More tests in test.sh.
4971
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4972
directory and delete it when done.
4974
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4979
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4982
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4986
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4987
---------------------
4991
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4994
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4996
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4999
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5002
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5004
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5008
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5009
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5014
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5015
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5020
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5024
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
5032
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
5035
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5036
-----------------------------------
5040
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5042
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5043
rather than replacing it.
5045
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5049
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5052
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5053
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5055
* Performance improvements.
5057
* New global --profile option.
5059
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5060
the root directory only.
5063
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5064
---------------------
5068
* More information from info command.
5070
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5072
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5073
committing to stores.
5075
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5079
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5083
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5084
installation easier.
5086
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5090
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
5091
------------------------
5095
* First public release.
5097
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
