CHANGES:
11
12
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
13
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
14
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
15
(Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
18
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
19
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
20
(Ian Clatworthy)
21
22
FEATURES:
23
24
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
25
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
26
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
27
(Lukáš Lalinský)
28
29
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
30
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
31
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
32
33
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
34
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
35
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
36
37
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
38
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
39
40
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
41
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
42
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
43
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
44
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
45
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
46
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
47
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
48
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
49
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
50
51
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
52
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
53
54
BUG FIXES:
55
56
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
57
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
58
59
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
60
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
61
62
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
63
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
64
65
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
66
(Aaron Bentley)
67
68
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
69
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
70
71
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
72
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
73
74
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
75
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
76
77
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
78
(Blake Winton, #129299)
79
80
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
81
82
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
83
Watkins, #106726)
84
85
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
86
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
87
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
88
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
89
90
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
91
92
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
93
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
94
#133548)
95
96
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
97
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
98
99
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
100
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
101
#116143)
102
103
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
104
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
105
106
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
107
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
108
109
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
110
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
111
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
112
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
113
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
114
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
115
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
116
117
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
118
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
119
120
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
121
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
122
123
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
124
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
125
126
IMPROVEMENTS:
127
128
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
129
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
130
131
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
132
(Aaron Bentley)
133
134
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
135
(Aaron Bentley)
136
137
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
138
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
139
140
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
141
142
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
143
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
144
145
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
146
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
147
148
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
149
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
150
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
151
space). (Robert Collins)
152
153
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
154
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
155
(Ian Clatworthy)
156
157
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
158
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
159
160
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
161
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
162
163
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
164
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
165
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
166
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
167
168
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
169
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
170
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
171
(Lukáš Lalinský)
172
173
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
174
(Ian Clatworthy)
175
176
API BREAKS:
177
178
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
179
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
180
181
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
182
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
183
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
184
(Robert Collins)
185
186
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
187
previous release. (Martin Pool)
188
189
TESTING:
190
191
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
192
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
193
194
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
195
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
196
197
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
198
previous release. (Martin Pool)
199
200
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
201
(Aaron Bentley)
202
203
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
204
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
205
206
INTERNALS:
207
208
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
209
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
210
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
211
its version information. (Robert Collins)
212
213
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
214
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
215
216
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
217
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
218
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
219
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
220
221
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
222
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
223
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
224
API. (Robert Collins)
225
226
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
227
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
228
(Robert Collins)
229
230
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
231
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
232
233
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
234
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
235
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
236
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
237
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
238
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
239
240
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
241
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
242
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
243
244
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
245
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
246
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
247
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
248
protocol.
249
250
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
251
(Aaron Bentley)
252
253
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
254
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
255
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
256
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
257
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
258
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
259
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
260
261
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
262
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
263
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
264
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
265
266
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
267
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
268
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
269
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
270
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
271
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
272
273
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
274
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
275
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
276
277
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
278
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
279
280
281
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
282
===================
283
284
IMPROVEMENTS:
285
286
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
287
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
288
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
289
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
290
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
291
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
292
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
293
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
294
295
296
API CHANGES:
297
298
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
299
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
300
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
301
302
303
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
304
======================
305
306
BUGFIXES:
307
308
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
309
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
310
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
311
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
312
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
313
314
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
316
317
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
318
anymore.
319
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
320
321
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
322
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
323
(Vincent Ladeuil)
324
325
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
326
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
327
#111664)
328
329
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
330
(Lukáš Lalinský)
331
332
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
333
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
334
335
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
336
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
337
338
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
339
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
340
341
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
342
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
343
344
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
345
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
346
347
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
348
(Aaron Bentley)
349
350
IMPROVEMENTS:
351
352
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
353
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
354
355
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
356
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
357
358
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
359
the repository (Robert Collins)
360
361
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
362
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
363
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
364
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
365
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
366
367
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
368
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
369
370
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
371
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
372
(John Arbash Meinel)
373
374
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
375
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
376
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
377
about 10%).
378
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
379
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
380
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
381
(John Arbash Meinel)
382
383
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
384
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
385
(Robert Collins)
386
387
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
388
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
389
390
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
391
(Ian Clatworthy)
392
393
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
394
395
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
396
397
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
398
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
399
400
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
401
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
402
Meinel)
403
404
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
405
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
406
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
407
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
408
409
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
410
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
411
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
412
413
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
414
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
415
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
416
417
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
418
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
419
420
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
421
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
422
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
423
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
424
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
425
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
426
(Ian Clatworthy)
427
428
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
429
(Alexander Belchenko)
430
431
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
432
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
433
434
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
435
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
436
437
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
438
439
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
440
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
441
442
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
443
444
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
445
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
446
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
447
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
448
449
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
450
451
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
452
(Robert Collins)
453
454
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
455
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
456
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
457
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
458
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
459
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
460
461
INTERNALS:
462
463
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
464
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
465
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
466
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
467
468
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
469
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
470
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
471
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
472
tests have been refactored too.
473
(Vincent Ladeuil)
474
475
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
476
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
477
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
478
list, it will.
479
(Vincent Ladeuil)
480
481
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
482
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
483
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
484
485
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
486
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
487
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
488
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
489
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
490
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
491
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
492
493
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
494
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
495
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
496
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
497
(John Arbash Meinel)
498
499
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
500
functionality for testing.
501
502
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
503
504
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
505
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
506
507
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
508
509
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
510
(Robert Collins)
511
512
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
513
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
514
515
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
516
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
517
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
518
519
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
520
(Aaron Bentley)
521
522
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
523
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
524
525
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
526
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
527
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
528
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
529
530
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
531
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
532
533
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
534
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
535
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
536
537
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
538
(Marius Kruger)
539
540
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
541
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
542
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
543
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
544
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
545
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
546
547
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
548
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
549
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
550
many files. (Robert Collins)
551
552
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
553
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
554
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
555
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
556
557
TESTING:
558
559
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
560
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
561
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
562
563
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
564
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
565
566
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
567
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
568
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

584
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
585
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
586
587
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
588
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
589
(James Westby, #122656)
590
591
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
592

593
594
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
595

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
607

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
609

610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)

* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
613
individually and as part of revision ranges.
614
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
615
616
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
617
(Martin Pool, #109169)
618
619
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
621
622
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
623
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
624
625
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
626
627
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
628
629
IMPROVEMENTS:
630
631
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
632
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
633
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
634
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
635
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
636
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
637
638
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
639
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
640
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
641
642
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
643
(Elliot Murphy)
644
645
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
646
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
647
648
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
649
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
650
651
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
652
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
653
654
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
655
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
656
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
657
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
658
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
659
660
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
661
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
662
663
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
664
can be slow it is useful feedback).
665
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
666
667
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
668
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
669
670
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
671
672
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
673
output. (Aaron Bentley)
674
675
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
676
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
677
(Robert Collins)
678
679
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
680
(Martin Pool)
681
682
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
683
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
684
685
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
686
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
687
688
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
689
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
690
691
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
692
693
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
694
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
695
696
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
697
(Andrew Bennetts)
698

LIBRARY API BREAKS:
700
701
* Testing cleanups -
702
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
703
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
704
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
705
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
706
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
707
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
708
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
709
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
710
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
711
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
712
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
713
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
714
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
715
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
716
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
717
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
718
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
719
(Robert Collins)
720
721
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
722
723
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
724
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
725
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
726
727
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
728
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
729
730
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
731
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
732
733
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
734
735
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
736
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
737
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
738
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
739
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
740
same location. (Robert Collins)
741
742
INTERNALS:
743
744
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
745
746
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
747
748
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
749
750
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
751
(Martin Pool)
752
753
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
754
(Martin Pool)
755
756
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
757
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
758
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
759
760
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
761
762
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
763
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
764
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
765
766
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
767
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
768
769
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
770
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
771
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
772
773
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
774
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
775
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
776
777
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
778
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
779
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
780
781
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
782
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
783
Martin Pool)
784
785
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
786
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
787
788
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
789
(Alexander Belchenko)
790
791
TESTING:
792
793
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
794
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
795
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
796
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
797
798
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
799
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
800
testing. (Robert Collins)
801
802
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
803
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
804
805
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
806
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
807
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
808
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
809
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
810
attribute during the test parameterisation in
811
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
812
813
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
814
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
815
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
816
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
817
818
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
819
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
820
821
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
822
avoid useless cloning.

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

841
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
842
843
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
844
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
845
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
846
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
847
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
848
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
849
and unlock() like so::
850
851
work_tree.lock_read()
852
try:
853
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
854
finally:
855
work_tree.unlock()
856
857
INTERNALS:
858
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
859
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
860
object.
861
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
862
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
863
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
864
865
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
866
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
867
too. (Robert Collins)
868
869
IMPROVEMENTS:
870
871
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
872
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
873
Aaron Bentley)
874
875
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
876
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
877
878
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
879
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
880
881
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
882
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
883
understanding what changes have occurred
884
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
885
886
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
887
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
888
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
889
890
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
891
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
892
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
893
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
894
895
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
896
#56322)
897
898
BUGFIXES:
899
900
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
901
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
902
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
903
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
904
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
905
906
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
907
based on split paths, not just string paths.
908
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
909
910
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
912
913
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
914
into account.
915
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
916
917
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
918
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
919
920
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
921
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
922
923
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
924
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
925
926
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
927
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
928
929
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
930
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
931
932
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
933
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
934
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
937
====================
938
939
BUGFIXES:
940
941
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
942
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
943
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
944
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
945
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
946
947
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
948
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
949
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
950
951
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
952
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
953
954
IMPROVEMENTS:
955
956
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
957
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
958
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
959
960
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
961
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
962
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
963
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
964
965
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
966
=======================
967
968
BUGFIXES:
969
970
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
971
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
972
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
973
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
974
975
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
976
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
977
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
978
979
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
980
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
981
982
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
983
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
984
985
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
986
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
987
988
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
989
=======================
990
991
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
992
993
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
994
it could be recovered again.
995
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
996
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
997
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
998
but not delete it.
999
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1000
files.
1001
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1002
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1003
1004
IMPROVEMENTS:
1005
1006
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1007
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1008
1009
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1010
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1011
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1012
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1013
1014
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1015
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1016
1017
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1018
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1019
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1020
1021
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1022
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1023
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1024
1025
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1026
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1027
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1028
1029
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1030
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1031
Robert Collins)
1032
1033
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1034
Pool)
1035
1036
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1037
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1038
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1039
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1040
1041
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1042
(Robert Collins)
1043
1044
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1045
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1046
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1047
(Robert Collins)
1048
1049
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1050
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1051
1052
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1053
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1054
1055
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1056
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1057
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1058
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1059
(Robert Collins)
1060
1061
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1062
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1063
1064
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1065
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1066
1067
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1068
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1069
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1070
1071
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1072
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1073
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1074
1075
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1076
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1077
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1078
1079
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1080
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1081
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1082
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1083
1084
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1085
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1086
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1087
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1088
1089
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1090
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1091
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1092
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1093
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1094
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1095
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1096
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1097
header(s).
1098
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1099
1100
INTERNALS:
1101
1102
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1103
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1104
1105
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1106
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1107
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1108
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1109
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1110
1111
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1112
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1113
1114
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1115
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1116
1117
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1118
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1119
1120
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1121
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1122
1123
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1124
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1125
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1126
(Robert Collins).
1127
1128
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1129
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1130
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1131
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1132
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1133
(Robert Collins)
1134
1135
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1136
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1137
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1138
1139
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1140
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1141
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1142
1143
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1144
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1145
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1146
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1147
1148
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1149
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1150
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1151
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1152
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1153
1154
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1155
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1156
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1157
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1158
1159
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1160
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1161
1162
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1163
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1164
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1165
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1166
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1167
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1168
1169
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1170
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1171
1172
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1173
help. (Robert Collins)
1174
1175
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1176
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1177
1178
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1179
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1180
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1181
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1182
(John Arbash Meinel)
1183
1184
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1185
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1186
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1187
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1188
useful. (Robert Collins)
1189
1190
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1191
(Andrew Bennetts)
1192
1193
BUGFIXES:
1194
1195
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1196
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1197
1198
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1199
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1200
1201
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1202
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1203
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1204
1205
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1206
(Aaron Bentley)
1207
1208
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1209
the file, and does it faster.
1210
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1211
1212
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1213
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1214
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1215
1216
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1217
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1218
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1219
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1220
1221
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1222
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1223
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1224
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1225
1226
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1227
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1228
1229
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1230
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1231
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1232
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1233
Arbash Meinel)
1234
1235
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1236
1237
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1238
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1239
1240
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1241
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1242
1243
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1244
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1245
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1246
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1247
security hole.
1248
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1249
1250
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1252
1253
TESTING:
1254
1255
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1256
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1257
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1258
1259
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1260
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1261
1262
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1263
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1264
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1265
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1266
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1267
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1268
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1269
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1270
1271
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1272
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1273
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1274
1275
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1276
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1277
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1278
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1279
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1280
access.
1281
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1282
1283
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1284
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1285
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1286
1287
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1288
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
1307
1308
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1309
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1310
(Martin Pool)
1311
1312
IMPROVEMENTS:
1313
1314
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1315
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1316
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1317
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1318
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1319
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1320
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1321
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1322
path. (vila)
1323
1324
INTERNALS:
1325
1326
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1327
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1328
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1329
1330
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1331
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1332
(Martin Pool)
1333
1334
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1335
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1336
(John Arbash Meinel)
1337
1338
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1339
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1340
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1341
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1342
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1343
1344
BUGFIXES:
1345
1346
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1347
(vila, #92195)
1348
1349
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1350
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1351
1352
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1353
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1354
1355
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1356
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1357
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1358
1359
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1360
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1361
1362
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1363
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1364
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1365
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1366
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1367
1368
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1369
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1370
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1371
1372
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1376
=======================
1377
1378
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1379
1380
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1381
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1382
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1383
1384
IMPROVEMENTS:
1385
1386
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1387
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1388
1389
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1390
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1391
1392
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1393
1394
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1395
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1396
1397
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1398
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1399
1400
INTERNALS:
1401
1402
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1403
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1404
1405
BUGFIXES:
1406
1407
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1408
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1409
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1410
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1411
1412
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1413
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1414
1415
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1416
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1417
1418
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1419
(Marien Zwart)
1420
1421
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

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

1599
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1600
1601
BUGFIXES:
1602
1603
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1604
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1605
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1606
1607
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1608
(Aaron Bentley)
1609
1610
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1611
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1612
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1613
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1614
1615
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1616
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1617
#83954).
1618
1619
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1620
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1621
1622
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1623
1624
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1625
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1626
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1627
1628
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1629
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1630
1631
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1633
1634
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1636
1637
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1638
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1639
1640
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1641
1642
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1643
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1644
1645
TESTING:
1646
1647

1656
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1657
1658
BUG FIXES:
1659
1660
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1661
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1662
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1663
1664
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1665
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1666
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1668
1669
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1670
=======================
1671
1672
IMPROVEMENTS:
1673
1674
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1675
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1676
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1677
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1678
1679
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1680
(Marius Kruger)
1681
1682
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1683
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1684
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1685
1686
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1687
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1688
1689
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1690
(Aaron Bentley)
1691
1692
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1693
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1694
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1695
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1696
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1697
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1698
1699
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1700
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1701
should enable you to do::
1702
1703
[/home/user/project]
1704
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1705
push_location:policy = appendpath
1706
1707
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1708
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1709
(James Henstridge)
1710
1711
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1712
for each file. For example::
1713
1714
$ bzr status --short
1715
A foo
1716
A bar
1717
D baz
1718
? wooley
1719
1720
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1721
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1722
1723
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1724
1725
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1726
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1727
1728
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1729
1730
INTERNALS:
1731
1732
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1733
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1734
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1735
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1736
1737
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1738
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1739
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1740
1741
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1742
1743
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1744
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1745
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1746
(Alexander Belchenko)
1747
1748
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1749
Pool)
1750
1751
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1752
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1753
1754
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1755
1756
BUG FIXES:
1757
1758
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1759
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1760
1761
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1762
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1763
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1764
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1765
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1766
1767
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1768
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1769
1770
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1771
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1772
1773
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1774
matcher.
1775
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1776
1777
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1778
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1779
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1780
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1781
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1782
1783
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1784
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1785
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1786
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1787
1788
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1789
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1790

* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1792
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)

1794
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

1812
tree from a branch.
1813
(Daniel Silverstone)
1814
1815
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1816
operations are substantially faster.
1817
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1818
1819
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1820
tree from some other url. For example:
1821
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1822
(Daniel Silverstone)
1823
1824
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1825
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1826
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1827
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)

* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1833
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1834
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1835
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1836
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1837
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1838
1839
INTERNALS:
1840
1841
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1842
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1843
(Martin Pool)
1844
1845
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1846
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1847
(John Arbash Meinel)
1848
1849
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1850
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1851
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1852
(John Arbash Meinel)
1853
1854
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1855
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1856
1857
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1858
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1859
1860
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1861
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1862
Bennetts)
1863
1864
BUG FIXES:
1865
1866
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1867
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1868
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1869
1870
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1871
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1872
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1873
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1874
1875
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1876
1877
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1878
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1879
1880
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1881
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1882
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1884
1885
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1886
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1887
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1888
1889
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1890
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1891
them as full references rather than integers.
1892
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1893
1894
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1895
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1896
1897
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1898
1899
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1900
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1901
1902
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1903
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1904
1905
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1906
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1907
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1908
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1909
1910
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1911
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1912
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1913
1914
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1915
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1916
1917
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1918
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1919
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1920
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1921
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1922
1923
TESTING:
1924
1925
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1926
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

1938
=======================
1939
1940
IMPROVEMENTS:
1941
1942
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1943
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1944
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1945
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1946
1947
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1948
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1951
1952
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1953
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1954
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1955
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1956
1957
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1958
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1959
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1960
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1961
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1962
1963
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1964
1965
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1966
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1967
1968
INTERNALS:
1969
1970
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1971
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1972
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1973
1974
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1975
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1976
(John Arbash Meinel)
1977
1978
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1979
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1980
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1981
1982
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1983
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1984
(Aaron Bentley)
1985
1986
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1987
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1988
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1989
1990
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1991
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1992
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1993
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1994
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1995
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1996
1997
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1998
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1999
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2000
(Robert Collins)
2001
2002
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2003
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2004
2005
BUG FIXES:
2006
2007
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2008
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2009
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2010
#63360, #66349)
2011
2012
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2013
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2014
2015
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2016
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2017
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2018
2019
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2020
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2021
2022
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2023
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2024
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2025
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2026
2027
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2028
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2029
2030
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2031
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2032
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2033
2034
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2035
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2036
2037
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2038
2039
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2040
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2041
#32054)
2042
2043
TESTING:
2044
2045
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2046
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2047
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2048
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2049
2050
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2051
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2052
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2053

=======================
2071
2072
IMPROVEMENTS:
2073
2074
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2075
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2076
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2077
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2078
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2079
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2080
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2081
2082
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2083
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2084
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2085
2086
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2087
2088
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2089
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2090
2091
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2092
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2093
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2094
(Robert Collins)
2095
2096
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2097
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2098
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2099
(John Arbash Meinel)
2100
2101
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2102
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2103
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2104
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2105
Pool)
2106
2107
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2108
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2109
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2110
(John Arbash Meinel)
2111
2112
BUG FIXES:
2113
2114
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2115
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2116
2117
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2118
2119
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2120
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2121
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2122
2123
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2124
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2125
2126
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2127
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2128
2129
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2131
2132
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2133
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2134
2135
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2136
2137
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2138
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2139
2140
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2141
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2142
2143
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2144
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2145
2146
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2147
(John Arbash Meinel)
2148
2149
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2150
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2151
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2152
2153
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2154
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2155
2156
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2157
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2158
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2159
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2160
2161
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2162
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2163
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2164
2165
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2166
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2167
2168
PORTABILITY:
2169
2170
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2171
2172
INTERNALS:
2173
2174
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2175
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2176
(John Arbash Meinel)
2177
2178
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2179
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2180
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2181
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2182
2183
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2184
(Andrew Bennetts)
2185
2186
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2187
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2188
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2189
2190
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2191
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2194
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2195
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2196
2197
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2198
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2199
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2200
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2201
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2202
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2203
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2204
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2205
caller to repeat their request.
2206
(John Arbash Meinel)
2207
2208
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2209
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2210
2211
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2212
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2215
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2216
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2217
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2218
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2219
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2220
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2221
2222
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2223
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2224
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2225
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2226
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2227
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2228
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2229
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2230
(Robert Collins)
2231
2232
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2233
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2234
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2235
2236
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2237
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2240
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2241
2242
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2243
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2244
2245
TESTING:
2246
2247
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2248
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2249
2250
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2251
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2252
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2253
2254
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2255
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2256
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2257

bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2259
====================
2260
2261
IMPROVEMENTS:
2262
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2263
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2264
2265
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2266
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2267
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2268
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2269
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2270
2271
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2272
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2273
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2274
2275
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2276
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2277
2278
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2279
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2280
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2281
2282
BUG FIXES:
2283
2284
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2285
2286
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2287
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2288
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2289
2290
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2291
2292
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2293
2294
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2295
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2296
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2297
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2298
2299
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2300
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2301
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2302
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2303
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2304
2305
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2306
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2307
2308
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2309
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2310
2311
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2312
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2313
2314
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2315
in handling of revision properties.
2316
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2317
2318
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2319
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2320
2321
INTERNALS:
2322
2323
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2324
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2325
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2326
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2327
(John Arbash Meinel)
2328
2329
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2330
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2331
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2332
2333
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2334
=====================
2335
2336
SURPRISES:
2337
2338
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2339
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2340
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2341
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2342
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2343
a more conservative list than the old default.
2344
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2345
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2346
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2347
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2348
2349
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2350
to more locations than just branch locations.
2351
(Aaron Bentley)
2352
2353
IMPROVEMENTS:
2354
2355
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2356
revno:N:branch. For example,
2357
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2358
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2359
2360
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2361
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2362
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2363
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2364
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2365
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2366
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2367
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2368
#42517, #42514)
2369
2370
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2371
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2372
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2373
(Malone #3507)
2374
2375
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2376
(Alexander Belchenko)
2377
2378
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2379
2380
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2381
(Robert Collins).
2382
2383
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2384
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2385
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2386
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2387
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2388
(John Arbash Meinel)
2389
2390
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2391
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2392
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2393
grained analysis of performance.
2394
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2395
2396
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2397
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2398
2399
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2400
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2401
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2402
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2403
file. (Robert Collins).
2404
2405
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2406
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2407
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2408
2409
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2410
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2411
Matthieu Moy)
2412
2413
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2414
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2415
2416
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2417
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2418
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2419
the same way you would apply another branch.
2420
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2421
2422
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2423
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2424
2425
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2426
(Michael Ellerman)
2427
2428
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2429
(Aaron Bentley)
2430
2431
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2432
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2433
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2434
2435
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2436
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2437
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2438
2439
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2440
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2441
2442
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2443
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2444
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2445
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2446
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2447
2448
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2449
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2450
2451
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2452
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2453
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2454
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2455
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2456
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2457
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2458
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2459
2460
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2461
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2462
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2463
2464
BUG FIXES:
2465
2466
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2467
tests not to run.
2468
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2469
2470
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2471
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2472
2473
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2474
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2475
2476
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2477
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2478
2479
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2480
2481
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2482
(John Arbash Meinel)
2483
2484
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2485
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2486
2487
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2488
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2489
and y.
2490
2491
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2492
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2493
2494
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2495
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2496
2497
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2498
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2499
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2500
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2501
2502
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2503
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2504
2505
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2506
2507
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2508
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2509
2510
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2511
2512
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2513
2514
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2515
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2516
2517
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2518
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2519
2520
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2521
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2522
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2523
2524
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2525
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2526
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2527
2528
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2529
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2530
2531
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2532
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2533
2534
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2535
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2536
2537
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2538
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2539
2540
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2541
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2542
2543
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2544
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2545
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2546
2547
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2548
2549
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2550
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2551
2552
INTERNALS:
2553
2554
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2555
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2556
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2557
2558
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2559
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2560
2561
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2562
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2563
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2564
2565
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2566
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2567
2568
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2569
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2570
(Martin Pool)
2571
2572
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2573
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2574
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2575
2576
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2577
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2578
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2579
2580
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2581
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2582
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2583
2584
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2585
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2586
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2587
2588
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2589
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2590
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2591
2592
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2593
instead. (Robert Collins)
2594
2595
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2605
=====================
2606
2607
BUG FIXES:
2608
2609
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2610
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2611
2612
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2613
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2614
2615
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2616
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2617
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2618
2619
CHANGES:
2620
2621
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2622
2623
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2624
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2625
2626
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2627
2628
CHANGES:
2629
2630
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2631
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2632
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2633
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2634
2635
NEW FEATURES:
2636
2637
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2638
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2639
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2640
2641
INTERNALS:
2642
2643
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2644
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2645
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2646
2647
TESTING:
2648
2649
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2650
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2651
2652
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2653
===================
2654
2655
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2656
2657
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2658
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2659
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2660
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2661
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2662
will keep the same format.
2663
2664
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2665
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2666
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2667
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2668
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2669
2670
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2671
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2672
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2673
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2674
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2675
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2676
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2677
2678
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2679
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2680
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2681
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2682
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2683
2684
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2685
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2686
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2687
arrangement.
2688
2689
2690
IMPROVEMENTS:
2691
2692
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2693
convention. Paths now take the form::
2694
2695
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2696
or
2697
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2698
2699
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2700
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2701
2702
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2703
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2704
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2705
2706
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2707
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2708
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2709
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2710
2711
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2712
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2713
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2714
2715
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2716
2717
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2718
2719
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2720
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2721
commits::
2722
2723
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2724
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2725
| xargs bzr re-sign
2726
2727
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2728
2729
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2730
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2731
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2732
(Robert Collins)
2733
2734
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2735
2736
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2737
2738
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2739
'.moved'.
2740
2741
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2742
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2743
2744
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2745
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2746
Daniel Silverstone)
2747
2748
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2749
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2750
Martin Pool)
2751
2752
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2753
2754
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2755
2756
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2757
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2758
2759
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2760
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2761
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2762
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2763
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2764
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2765
2766
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2767
2768
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2769
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2770
(Robert Collins)
2771
2772
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2773
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2774
2775
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2776
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2777
2778
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2779
2780
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2781
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2782
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2783
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2784
specification by Martin Pool.
2785
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2786
2787
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2788
Belchenko)
2789
2790
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2791
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2792
2793
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2794
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2795
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2796
2797
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2798
2799
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2800
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2801
(Robert Collins)
2802
2803
CHANGES:
2804
2805
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2806
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2807
2808
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2809
2810
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2811
2812
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2813
(Olaf Conradi)
2814
2815
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2816
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2817
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2818
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2819
2820
INTERNALS:
2821
2822
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2823
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2824
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2825
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2826
2827
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2828
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2829
tried. (Martin Pool)
2830
2831
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2832
(Martin Pool)
2833
2834
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2835
2836
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2837
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2838
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2839
2840
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2841
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2842
2843
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2844
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2845
paths. (Robert Collins)
2846
2847
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2848
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2849
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2850
2851
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2852
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2853
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2854
2855
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2856
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2857
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2858
2859
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2860
(Olaf Conradi)
2861
2862
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2863
(Olaf Conradi)
2864
2865
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2866
2867
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2868
2869
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2870
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2871
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2872
(Robert Collins)
2873
2874
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2875
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2876
2877
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2878
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2879
check. (Robert Collins)
2880
2881
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2882
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2883
2884
TESTING:
2885
2886
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2887
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2888
2889
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2890
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2891
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2892
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2893
2894
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2895
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2896
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2897
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2898
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2899
2900
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2901
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2902
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2903
2904
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2905
2906
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2907
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2908
2909
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2910
==================
2911
2912
CHANGES:
2913
2914
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2915
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2916
2917
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2918
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2919
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2920
(Johan Rydberg)
2921
2922
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2923
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2924
2925
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2926
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2927
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2928
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2929
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2930
2931
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2932
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2933
used. (Robert Collins)
2934
2935
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2936
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2937
(James Henstridge)
2938
2939
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2940
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2941
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2942
2943
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2944
ignore list.
2945
2946
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2947
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2948
2949
IMPROVEMENTS:
2950
2951
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2952
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2953
2954
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2955
2956
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2957
2958
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2959
tree. (Robert Collins)
2960
2961
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2962
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2963
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2964
(Robert Collins)
2965
2966
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2967
that they be kept.
2968
2969
* Tweaks to short log printing
2970
2971
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2972
(Aaron Bentley)
2973
2974
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2975
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2976
2977
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2978
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2979
2980
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2981
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2982
2983
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2984
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2985
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2986
2987
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2988
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2989
2990
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2991
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2992
requests.
2993
2994
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2995
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2996
2997
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2998
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2999
3000
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3001
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3002
3003
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3004
(Denys Duchier)
3005
3006
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3007
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3008
3009
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3010
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3011
3012
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3013
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3014
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3015
3016
BUG FIXES:
3017
3018
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3019
3020
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3021
3022
* Error when run with -OO
3023
3024
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3025
(Martin Pool)
3026
3027
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3028
3029
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3030
3031
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3032
ignored by diff and status
3033
3034
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3035
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3036
3037
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3038
3039
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3040
3041
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3042
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3043
3044
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3045
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3046
3047
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3048
(Harald Meland)
3049
3050
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3051
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3052
3053
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3054
3055
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3056
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3057
3058
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3059
(Martin Pool)
3060
3061
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3062
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3063
3064
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3065
3066
TESTING:
3067
3068
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3069
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3070
3071
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3072
3073
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3074
3075
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3076
3077
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3078
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3079
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3080
3081
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3082
3083
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3084
(John Arbash Meinel)
3085
3086
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3087
3088
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3089
If adding a new test script please add that to
3090
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3091
3092
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3093
imported. (Martin Pool)
3094
3095
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3096
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3097
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3098
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3099
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3100
(Robert Collins)
3101
3102
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3103
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3104
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3105
3106
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3107
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3108
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3109
3110
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3111
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3112
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3113
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3114
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3115
(Robert Collins).
3116
3117
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3118
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3119
(Robert Collins).
3120
3121
INTERNALS:
3122
3123
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3124
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3125
3126
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3127
function. (Robert Collins)
3128
3129
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3130
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3131
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3132
3133
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3134
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3135
(Robert Collins)
3136
3137
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3138
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3139
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3140
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3141
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3142
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3143
version. (Robert Collins)
3144
3145
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3146
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3147
3148
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3149
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3150
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3151
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3152
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3153
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3154
3155
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3156
(Robert Collins)
3157
3158
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3159
3160
add()
3161
commit()
3162
move()
3163
rename_one()
3164
unknowns()
3165
3166
(Robert Collins)
3167
3168
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3169
3170
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3171
3172
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3173
Pool)
3174
3175
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3176
query method. (Robert Collins)
3177
3178
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3179
(Denys Duchier)
3180
3181
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3182
(Michael Ellerman)
3183
3184
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3185
(Michael Ellerman)
3186
3187
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3188
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3189
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3190
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3191
3192
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3193
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3194
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3195
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3196
3197
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3198
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

==================
3202
3203
IMPROVEMENTS:
3204
3205
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3206
(John A Meinel)
3207
3208
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3209
conflicts.
3210
(Aaron Bentley)
3211
3212
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3213
a separator, not ':'.
3214
(Aaron Bentley)
3215
3216
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3217
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3218
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3219
3220
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3221
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3222
(Robert Collins)
3223
3224
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3225
has been added that suppresses all output.
3226
3227
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3228
Adams.
3229
3230
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3231
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3232
3233
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3234
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3235
3236
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3237
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3238
3239
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3240
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3241
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3242
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3243
3244
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3245
3246
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3247
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3248
3249
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3250
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3251
3252
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3253
output directory, if one was supplied.
3254
3255
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3256
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3257
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3258
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3259
3260
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3261
3262
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3263
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3264
3265
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3266
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3267
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3268
3269
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3270
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3271
3272
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3273
(Aaron Bentley)
3274
3275
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3276
3277
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3278
3279
TESTING:
3280
3281
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3282
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3283
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3284
3285
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3286
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3287
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3288
3289
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3290
is given. (Martin Pool)
3291
3292
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3293
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3294
file. (Robert Collins)
3295
3296
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3297
(Martin Pool)
3298
3299
INTERNALS:
3300
3301
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3302
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3303
representation. (Martin Pool).
3304
3305
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3306
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3307
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3308
3309
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3310
(Robert Collins)
3311
3312
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3313
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3314
Magnus Therning.
3315
3316
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3317
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3318
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3319
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3320
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3321
3322
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3323
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3324
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3325
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3326
python path. (Robert Collins)
3327
3328
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3329
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3330
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3331
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3332
3333
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3334
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3335
3336
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3337
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3338
(Robert Collins)
3339
3340
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3341
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3342
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3343
3344
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3345
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3346
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3349
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3350
3351
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3352
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3353
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3354
(Robert Collins)
3355
3356
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3357
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3358
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3359
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3360
(Robert Collins)
3361
3362
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3363
(Robert Collins)
3364
3365
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3366
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3367
(Robert Collins)
3368
3369
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3370
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3371
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3372
3373
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3374
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3375
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3376
3377
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3378
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3379
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3380
3381
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3382
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3383
3384
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3385
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3386
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3387
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3388
caller. (Robert Collins)
3389
3390
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3391
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3392
(Robert Collins).
3393
3394
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3395
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3396
(Aaron Bentley)
3397
3398
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3399
3400
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3401
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3402
3403
BUG FIXES:
3404
3405
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3406
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3407
3408
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3409
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3410

3412
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3413
====================
3414
3415
BUG FIXES:
3416
3417
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3418
allow directories to be listed.
3419
3420
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3421
upgrading branch format.
3422
3423
PERFORMANCE:
3424
3425
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3426
3427
3428
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3429
==================
3430
3431
NOTES:
3432
3433
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3434
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3435
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3436
high-latency connections.
3437
3438
BUG FIXES:
3439
3440
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3441
Rob Weir.
3442
3443
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3444
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3445
3446
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3447
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3448
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3449
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3450
3451
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3452
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3453
3454
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3455
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3456
3457
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3458
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3459
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3460
3461
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3462
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3463
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3464
Robert Collins
3465
3466
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3467
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3468
3469
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3470
different partial views of history.
3471
3472
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3473
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3474
3475
IMPROVEMENTS:
3476
3477
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3478
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3479
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3480
3481
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3482
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3483
'bzr upgrade'.
3484
3485
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3486
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3487
3488
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3489
Niemeyer.
3490
3491
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3492
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3493
3494
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3495
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3496
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3497
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3498
3499
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3500
3501
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3502
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3503
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3504
3505
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3506
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3507
3508
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3509
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3510
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3511
3512
3513
INTERNALS:
3514
3515
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3516
for your viewing pleasure.
3517
3518
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3519
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3520
3521
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3522
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3523
handling of such circumstances.
3524
3525
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3526
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3527
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3528
3529
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3530
3531
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3532
we call them revisions not patches.
3533
3534
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3535
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3536
3537
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3538
giving the revision *of that file*.
3539
3540
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3541
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3542
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3543
3544
TESTING:
3545
3546
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3547
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3548
3549
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3550
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3551
3552
3553
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3554
====================
3555
3556
BUG FIXES:
3557
3558
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3559
3560
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3561
(Robert Collins).
3562
3563
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3564
3565
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3566
3567
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3568
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3569
3570
IMPROVEMENTS:
3571
3572
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3573
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3574
3575
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3576
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3577
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3578
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3579
Robey Pointer
3580
3581
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3582
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3583
3584
INTERNALS:
3585
3586
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3587
3588
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3589
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3590
3591
3592
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3593
====================
3594
3595
IMPROVEMENTS:
3596
3597
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3598
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3599
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3600
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3601
Michael Ellerman.
3602
3603
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3604
(Nir Soffer)
3605
3606
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3607
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3608
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3609
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3610
for the operating system is still tried.
3611
3612
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3613
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3614
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3615
3616
3617
INTERNALS:
3618
3619
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3620
3621
BUG FIXES:
3622
3623
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3624
3625
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3626
branch.
3627
3628
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3629
read.
3630
3631
3632
PORTABILITY:
3633
3634
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3635
3636
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3637
3638
3639
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3640
====================
3641
3642
NEW FEATURES:
3643
3644
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3645
help with intelligent shell completion.
3646
3647
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3648
3649
3650
ENHANCEMENTS:
3651
3652
* Much better merge support.
3653
3654
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3655
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3656
like emacs smerge.
3657
3658
3659
BUG FIXES:
3660
3661
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3662
mention revisions that are not present.
3663
3664
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3665
3666
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3667
3668
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3669
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3670
3671
3672
CHANGES:
3673
3674
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3675
3676
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3677
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3678
--help themselves.
3679
3680
3681
LIBRARY:
3682
3683
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3684
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3685
libraries.

NEW FEATURES:
3693
3694
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3695
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3696
3697
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3698
3699
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3700
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3701
3702
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3703
FOO.
3704
3705
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3706
3707
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3708
the Unix command.
3709
3710
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3711
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3712
3713
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3714
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3715
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3716
3717
3718
ENHANCEMENTS:
3719
3720
* Faster working tree operations.
3721
3722
3723
CHANGES:
3724
3725
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3726
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3727
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3728
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3729
3730
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3731
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3732
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3733
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3734
standard plugins directory.
3735
3736
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3737
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3738
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3739
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3740
3741
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3742
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3743
3744
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3745
disk.
3746
3747
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3748
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3749
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3750
3751
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3752
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3753
3754
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3755
line options must come before the command name because they
3756
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3757
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3758
it.
3759
3760
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3761
3762
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3763
is available with ``--short``.
3764
3765
3766
BUG FIXES:
3767
3768
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3769
3770
3771
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3772
=====================
3773
3774
CHANGES:
3775
3776
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3777
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3778
3779
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3780
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3781
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3782
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3783
3784
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3785
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3786
with the ``--forward`` option.
3787
3788
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3789
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3790
field.
3791
3792
3793
ENHANCEMENTS:
3794
3795
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3796
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3797
3798
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3799
3800
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3801
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3802
3803
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3804
3805
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3806
either read or write mode.
3807
3808
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3809
3810
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3811
affected that file.
3812
3813
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3814
3815
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3816
suggested by LarstiQ.
3817
3818
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3819
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3820
3821
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3822
a filename.
3823
3824
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3825
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3826
3827
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3828
haven't changed since the previous time.
3829
3830
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3831
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3832
3833
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3834
3835
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3836
3837
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3838
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3839
3840
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3841
options through to an external GNU diff.
3842
3843
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3844
their contents.
3845
3846
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3847
from a branch.
3848
3849
3850
BUG FIXES:
3851
3852
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3853
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3854
3855
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3856
metacharacters.
3857
3858
3859
TESTING:
3860
3861
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3862
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3863
the tests.
3864
3865
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3866
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3867
3868
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3869
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3870
3871
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3872
under a different version.
3873
3874
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3875
3876
3877
INTERNAL:
3878
3879
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3880
3881
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3882
Scott James Remnant.
3883
3884
* Better help messages for many commands.
3885
3886
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3887
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3888
3889
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3890
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3891
3892
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3893
3894
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3895
3896
* New AtomicFile class.
3897
3898
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3899
3900
3901
PORTABILITY:
3902
3903
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3904
2.4 is now only recommended.
3905
3906
3907
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3908
=====================
3909
3910
ENHANCEMENTS:
3911
3912
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3913
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3914
3915
* More default ignore patterns.
3916
3917
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3918
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3919
3920
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3921
3922
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3923
by Jason Diamon.
3924
3925
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3926
3927
3928
CHANGES:
3929
3930
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3931
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3932
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3933
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3934
there are DNS problems.
3935
3936
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3937
3938
3939
BUG FIXES:
3940
3941
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3942
3943
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3944
3945
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3946
trailing newlines properly.
3947
3948
3949
INTERNAL:
3950
3951
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3952
Matt Brubeck.
3953
3954
* More tests in test.sh.
3955
3956
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3957
directory and delete it when done.
3958
3959
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3960
3961
3962
PORTABILITY:
3963
3964
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3965
Bennetts.
3966
3967
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3968
from QuantumG.

3977
in the tree.
3978
3979

3980
3981
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3982
and/or directory.
3983
3984
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3985
directory.
3986
3987
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3988
3989
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3990
3991
CHANGES:
3992
3993
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3994
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3995
will do for now.)
3996
3997
PORTABILITY:
3998
3999
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4000
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4001
Nielsen.
4002
4003
INTERNAL:
4004
4005
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

4021
===================================
4022
4023
ENHANCEMENTS:
4024
4025
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4026
4027
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4028
rather than replacing it.
4029
4030
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4031
4032
* More help topics.
4033
4034
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4035
branch.
4036
4037
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4038
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4039
4040
* Performance improvements.
4041
4042
* New global --profile option.
4043
4044
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4045
the root directory only.
4046
4047

4058
committing to stores.

4069
installation easier.
4070
4071

4072
supported).
4073
