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.
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``.
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.
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:
33
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
34
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
35
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
37
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
38
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
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)
51
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
52
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
56
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
57
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
59
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
60
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
62
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
63
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
65
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
68
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
69
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
71
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
72
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
74
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
75
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
77
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
78
(Blake Winton, #129299)
80
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
82
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
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)
90
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
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,
96
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
97
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
99
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
100
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
103
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
104
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
106
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
107
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
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)
117
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
118
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
120
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
121
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
123
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
124
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
128
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
129
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
131
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
134
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
137
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
138
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
140
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
142
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
143
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
145
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
146
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
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)
153
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
154
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
157
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
158
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
160
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
161
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
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)
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``.
175
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
176
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
178
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
179
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
180
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
183
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
184
previous release. (Martin Pool)
188
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
189
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
191
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
192
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
194
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
195
previous release. (Martin Pool)
197
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
200
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
201
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
205
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
206
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
207
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
208
its version information. (Robert Collins)
210
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
211
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
213
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
214
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
215
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
216
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
218
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
219
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
220
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
221
API. (Robert Collins)
223
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
224
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
227
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
228
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
230
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
231
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
232
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
233
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
234
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
235
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
237
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
238
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
239
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
241
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
242
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
243
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
244
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
247
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
250
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
251
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
252
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
253
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
254
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
255
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
256
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
258
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
259
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
260
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
261
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
263
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
264
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
265
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
266
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
267
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
268
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
270
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
271
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
272
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
274
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
275
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
283
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
284
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
285
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
286
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
287
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
288
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
289
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
290
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
295
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
296
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
297
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
300
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
301
======================
305
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
306
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
307
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
308
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
309
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
311
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
314
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
318
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
319
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
322
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
323
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
326
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
329
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
330
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
332
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
333
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
335
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
336
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
338
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
339
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
341
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
342
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
344
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
349
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
350
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
352
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
353
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
355
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
356
the repository (Robert Collins)
358
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
359
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
360
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
361
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
362
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
364
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
365
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
367
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
368
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
371
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
372
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
373
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
375
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
376
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
377
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
380
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
381
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
384
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
385
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
387
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
390
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
392
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
394
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
395
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
397
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
398
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
401
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
402
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
403
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
404
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
406
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
407
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
408
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
410
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
411
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
412
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
414
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
415
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
417
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
418
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
419
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
420
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
421
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
422
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
425
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
426
(Alexander Belchenko)
428
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
429
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
431
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
432
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
434
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
436
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
437
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
441
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
442
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
443
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
444
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
446
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
448
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
451
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
452
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
453
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
454
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
455
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
456
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
460
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
461
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
462
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
463
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
465
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
466
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
467
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
468
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
469
tests have been refactored too.
472
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
473
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
474
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
478
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
479
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
480
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
482
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
483
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
484
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
485
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
486
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
487
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
488
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
490
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
491
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
492
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
493
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
496
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
497
functionality for testing.
499
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
501
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
502
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
504
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
506
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
509
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
510
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
512
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
513
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
514
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
516
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
519
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
520
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
522
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
523
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
524
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
525
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
527
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
528
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
530
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
531
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
532
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
534
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
537
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
538
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
539
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
540
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
541
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
542
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
544
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
545
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
546
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
547
many files. (Robert Collins)
549
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
550
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
551
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
552
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
556
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
557
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
558
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
560
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
561
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
563
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
564
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
565
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
573
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
576
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
577
=======================
581
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
582
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
584
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
585
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
586
(James Westby, #122656)
588
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
589
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
591
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
592
authentication header.
593
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
595
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
597
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
598
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
600
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
602
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
603
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
605
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
606
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
607
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
609
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
610
individually and as part of revision ranges.
613
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
614
(Martin Pool, #109169)
616
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
619
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
620
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
622
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
624
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
628
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
629
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
630
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
631
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
632
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
633
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
635
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
636
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
637
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
639
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
642
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
643
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
645
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
646
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
648
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
649
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
651
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
652
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
653
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
654
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
655
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
657
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
658
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
660
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
661
can be slow it is useful feedback).
662
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
664
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
665
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
667
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
669
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
670
output. (Aaron Bentley)
672
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
673
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
676
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
679
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
680
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
682
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
683
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
685
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
686
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
688
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
690
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
691
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
693
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

713
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
714
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
715
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
718
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
720
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
721
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
722
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
724
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
725
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
727
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
728
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
730
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
732
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
733
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
734
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
735
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
736
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
737
same location. (Robert Collins)
741
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
743
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
745
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
747
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
750
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
753
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
754
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
755
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
757
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
759
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
760
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
761
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
763
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
764
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
766
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
767
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
768
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
770
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
771
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
772
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
774
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
775
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
776
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
778
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
779
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
782
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
783
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
785
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
786
(Alexander Belchenko)
790
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
791
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
792
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
793
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
795
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
796
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
797
testing. (Robert Collins)
799
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
800
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
802
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
803
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
804
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
805
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
806
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
807
attribute during the test parameterisation in
808
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
810
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
811
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
812
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
813
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
815
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
816
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
818
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
819
avoid useless cloning.
820
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
828
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
829
(Colin Watson, #120647)
831
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
832
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
835
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
836
=======================
838
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
840
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
841
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
842
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
843
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
844
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
845
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
846
and unlock() like so::
848
work_tree.lock_read()
850
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
855
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
856
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
858
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
859
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
860
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
862
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
863
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
864
too. (Robert Collins)
868
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
869
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
872
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
875
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
876
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
878
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
879
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
880
understanding what changes have occurred
881
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
883
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
884
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
885
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
887
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
888
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
889
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
890
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
892
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
897
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
898
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
899
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
900
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
901
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
903
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
904
based on split paths, not just string paths.
905
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
907
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
908
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
910
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
912
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
914
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
915
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
917
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
918
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
920
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
921
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
923
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
924
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
926
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
927
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
929
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
930
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
931
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
938
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
939
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
940
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
941
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
942
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
944
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
945
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
946
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
948
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
949
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
953
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
954
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
955
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
957
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
958
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
959
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
960
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
962
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
963
=======================
967
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
968
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
969
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
970
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
972
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
973
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
974
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
976
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
977
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
979
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
980
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
982
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
983
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
985
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
986
=======================
988
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
990
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
991
it could be recovered again.
992
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
993
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
994
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
996
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
998
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
999
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1003
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1004
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1006
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1007
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1008
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1009
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1011
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1012
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1014
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1015
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1016
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1018
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1019
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1020
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1022
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1023
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1024
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1026
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1027
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1030
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1033
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1034
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1035
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1036
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1038
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1041
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1042
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1043
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1046
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1047
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1049
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1050
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1052
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1053
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1054
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1055
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1058
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1059
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1061
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1062
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1064
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1065
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1066
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1068
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1069
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1070
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1072
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1073
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1074
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1076
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1077
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1078
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1079
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1081
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1082
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1083
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1084
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1086
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1087
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1088
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1089
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1090
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1091
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1092
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1093
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1099
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1100
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1102
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1103
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1104
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1105
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1106
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1108
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1109
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1111
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1112
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1114
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1115
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1117
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1118
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1120
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1121
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1122
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1125
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1126
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1127
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1128
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1129
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1132
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1133
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1134
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1136
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1137
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1140
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1141
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1142
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1145
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1146
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1147
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1148
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1149
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1151
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1152
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1153
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1154
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1156
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1157
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1159
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1160
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1161
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1162
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1163
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1164
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1166
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1167
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1169
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1170
help. (Robert Collins)
1172
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1173
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1175
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1176
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1177
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1178
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1179
(John Arbash Meinel)
1181
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1182
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1183
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1184
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1185
useful. (Robert Collins)
1187
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1192
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1193
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1195
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1196
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1198
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1199
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1200
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1202
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1205
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1206
the file, and does it faster.
1207
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1209
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1210
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1211
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1213
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1214
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1215
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1216
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1218
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1219
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1220
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1221
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1223
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1224
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1226
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1227
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1228
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1229
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1232
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1234
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1235
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1237
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1238
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1240
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1241
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1242
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1243
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1247
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1252
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1253
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1254
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1256
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1257
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1259
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1260
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1261
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1262
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1263
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1264
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1265
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1266
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1268
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1269
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1270
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1272
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1273
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1274
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1275
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1276
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1278
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1280
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1281
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1282
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1284
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1285
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1293
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1296
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1297
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1300
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1301
=======================
1305
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1306
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1311
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1312
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1313
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1314
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1315
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1316
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1317
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1318
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1323
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1324
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1325
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1327
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1328
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1331
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1332
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1333
(John Arbash Meinel)
1335
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1336
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1337
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1338
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1339
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1343
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1346
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1347
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1349
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1350
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1352
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1353
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1354
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1356
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1357
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1359
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1360
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1361
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1362
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1363
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1365
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1366
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1367
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1369
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1372
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1373
=======================
1375
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1377
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1378
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1379
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1383
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1384
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1386
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1387
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1389
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1391
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1392
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1394
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1395
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1399
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1404
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1405
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1406
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1407
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1409
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1410
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1412
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1413
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1415
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1418
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1419
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1422
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1423
=======================
1427
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1428
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1429
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1430
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1431
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1432
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1434
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1435
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1436
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1437
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1438
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1439
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1441
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1443
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1444
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1445
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1446
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1447
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1448
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1449
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1450
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1454
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1455
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1457
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1458
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1459
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1460
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1462
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1463
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1464
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1465
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1466
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1468
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1471
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1474
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1477
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1478
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1481
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1484
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1485
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1487
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1488
directory. (Martin Pool)
1490
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1491
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1492
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1493
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1495
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1496
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1497
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1498
in docs/configuration.txt.
1500
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1501
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1504
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1505
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1506
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1507
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1508
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1509
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1511
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1512
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1514
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1515
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1517
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1522
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1523
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1524
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1525
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1526
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1527
(John Arbash Meinel)
1529
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1530
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1533
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1534
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1535
(John Arbash Meinel)
1537
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1538
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1539
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1540
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1541
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1542
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1544
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1545
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1546
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1548
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1549
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1550
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1551
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1553
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1555
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1556
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1557
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1558
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1560
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1561
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1562
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1563
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1565
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1566
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1567
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1569
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1570
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1571
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1573
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1574
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1575
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1576
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1578
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1579
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1580
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1582
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1583
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1584
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1586
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1587
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1588
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1589
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1590
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1591
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1592
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1593
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1594
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1595
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1596
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1600
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1601
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1602
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1604
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1607
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1608
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1609
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1610
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1612
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1613
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1616
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1617
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1619
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1621
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1622
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1623
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1625
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1626
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1628
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1629
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1631
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1634
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1635
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1637
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1639
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1640
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1644
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1645
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1649
====================
1653
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1657
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1658
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1659
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1661
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1662
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1663
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1666
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1667
=======================
1671
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1672
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1673
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1674
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1676
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1679
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1680
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1681
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1683
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1684
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1686
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1689
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1690
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1691
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1692
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1693
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1694
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1696
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1697
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1698
should enable you to do::
1700
[/home/user/project]
1701
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1702
push_location:policy = appendpath
1704
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1705
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1708
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1709
for each file. For example::
1711
$ bzr status --short
1717
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1718
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1720
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1722
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1723
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1725
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1729
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1730
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1731
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1732
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1734
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1735
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1736
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1738
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1740
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1741
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1742
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1743
(Alexander Belchenko)
1745
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1748
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1749
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1751
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1755
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1756
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1758
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1759
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1760
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1761
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1762
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1764
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1765
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1767
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1768
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1770
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1772
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1774
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1775
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1776
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1777
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1778
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1780
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1781
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1782
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1783
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1785
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1786
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1788
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1789
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1791
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1792
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1794
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1795
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

====================
1801
No changes from 0.13rc1
1803
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1804
=======================
1808
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1810
(Daniel Silverstone)
1812
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1813
operations are substantially faster.
1814
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1816
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1817
tree from some other url. For example:
1818
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1819
(Daniel Silverstone)
1821
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1822
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1823
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1824
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1826
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1829
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1830
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1831
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1832
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1833
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1834
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1838
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1839
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1842
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1843
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1844
(John Arbash Meinel)
1846
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1847
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1848
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1849
(John Arbash Meinel)
1851
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1852
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1854
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1855
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1857
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1858
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1863
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1864
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1865
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1867
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1868
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1869
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1870
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1872
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1874
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1875
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1877
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1878
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1879
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1880
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1882
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1883
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1884
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1886
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1887
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1888
them as full references rather than integers.
1889
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1891
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1892
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1894
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1896
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1897
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1899
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1900
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1902
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1903
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1904
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1905
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1907
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1908
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1909
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1911
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1912
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1914
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1915
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1916
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1917
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1918
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1922
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1923
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1926
====================
1930
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1931
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1932
(John Arbash Meinel)
1934
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1935
=======================
1939
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1940
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1941
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1942
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1944
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1945
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1947
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1949
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1950
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1951
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1952
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1954
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1955
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1956
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1957
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1958
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1960
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1962
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1963
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1967
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1968
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1969
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1971
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1972
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1973
(John Arbash Meinel)
1975
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1976
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1977
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1979
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1980
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1983
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1984
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1985
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1987
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1988
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1989
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1990
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1991
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1992
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1994
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1995
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1996
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1999
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2000
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2004
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2005
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2006
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2009
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2010
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2012
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2013
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2014
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2016
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2017
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2019
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2020
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2021
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2022
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2024
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2025
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2027
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2028
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2029
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2031
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2032
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2034
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2036
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2037
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2042
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2043
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2044
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2045
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2047
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2048
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2049
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2052
====================
2054
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2056
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2057
=======================
2061
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2063
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2066
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2067
=======================
2071
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2072
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2073
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2074
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2075
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2076
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2077
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2079
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2080
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2081
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2083
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2085
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2086
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2088
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2089
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2090
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2093
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2094
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2095
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2096
(John Arbash Meinel)
2098
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2099
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2100
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2101
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2104
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2105
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2106
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2107
(John Arbash Meinel)
2111
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2112
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2114
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2116
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2117
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2118
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2120
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2121
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2123
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2124
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2126
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2129
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2130
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2132
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2134
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2135
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2137
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2138
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2140
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2141
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2143
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2144
(John Arbash Meinel)
2146
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2147
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2148
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2150
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2151
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2153
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2154
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2155
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2156
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2158
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2159
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2160
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2162
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2163
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2167
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2171
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2172
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2173
(John Arbash Meinel)
2175
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2176
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2177
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2178
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2180
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2183
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2184
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2185
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2187
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2188
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2190
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2191
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2192
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2194
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2195
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2196
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2197
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2198
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2199
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2200
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2201
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2202
caller to repeat their request.
2203
(John Arbash Meinel)
2205
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2206
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2208
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2209
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2211
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2212
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2213
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2214
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2215
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2216
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2217
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2219
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2220
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2221
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2222
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2223
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2224
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2225
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2226
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2229
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2230
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2231
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2233
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2234
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2236
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2237
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2239
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2240
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2244
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2245
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2247
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2248
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2249
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2251
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2252
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2253
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2256
====================
2259
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2260
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2262
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2263
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2264
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2265
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2266
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2268
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2269
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2270
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2272
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2273
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2275
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2276
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2277
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2281
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2283
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2284
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2285
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2287
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2289
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2291
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2292
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2293
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2294
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2296
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2297
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2298
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2299
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2300
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2302
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2303
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2305
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2306
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2308
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2309
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2311
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2312
in handling of revision properties.
2313
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2315
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2316
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2320
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2321
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2322
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2323
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2324
(John Arbash Meinel)
2326
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2327
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2328
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2330
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2331
=====================
2335
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2336
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2337
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2338
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2339
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2340
a more conservative list than the old default.
2341
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2342
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2343
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2344
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2346
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2347
to more locations than just branch locations.
2352
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2353
revno:N:branch. For example,
2354
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2355
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2357
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2358
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2359
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2360
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2361
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2362
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2363
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2364
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2367
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2368
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2369
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2372
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2373
(Alexander Belchenko)
2375
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2377
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2380
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2381
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2382
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2383
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2384
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2385
(John Arbash Meinel)
2387
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2388
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2389
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2390
grained analysis of performance.
2391
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2393
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2394
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2396
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2397
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2398
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2399
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2400
file. (Robert Collins).
2402
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2403
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2404
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2406
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2407
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2410
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2411
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2413
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2414
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2415
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2416
the same way you would apply another branch.
2417
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2419
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2420
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2422
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2425
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2428
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2429
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2430
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2432
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2433
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2434
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2436
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2437
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2439
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2440
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2441
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2442
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2443
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2445
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2446
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2448
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2449
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2450
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2451
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2452
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2453
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2454
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2455
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2457
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2458
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2459
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2463
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2465
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2467
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2468
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2470
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2471
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2473
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2474
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2476
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2478
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2479
(John Arbash Meinel)
2481
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2482
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2484
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2485
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2488
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2489
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2491
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2492
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2494
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2495
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2496
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2497
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2499
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2500
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2502
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2504
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2505
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2507
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2509
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2511
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2512
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2514
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2515
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2517
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2518
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2519
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2521
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2522
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2523
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2525
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2526
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2528
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2529
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2531
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2532
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2534
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2535
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2537
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2538
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2540
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2541
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2542
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2544
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2546
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2547
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2551
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2552
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2553
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2555
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2556
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2558
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2559
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2560
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2562
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2563
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2565
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2566
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2569
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2570
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2571
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2573
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2574
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2575
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2577
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2578
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2579
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2581
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2582
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2583
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2585
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2586
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2587
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2589
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2590
instead. (Robert Collins)
2592
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2594
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2595
=====================
2599
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2601
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2602
=====================
2606
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2607
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2609
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2610
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2612
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2613
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2614
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2618
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2620
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2621
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2623
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2627
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2628
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2629
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2630
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2634
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2635
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2636
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2640
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2641
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2642
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2646
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2647
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2652
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2654
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2655
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2656
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2657
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2658
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2659
will keep the same format.
2661
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2662
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2663
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2664
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2665
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2667
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2668
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2669
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2670
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2671
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2672
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2673
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2675
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2676
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2677
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2678
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2679
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2681
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2682
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2683
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2689
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2690
convention. Paths now take the form::
2692
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2694
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2696
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2697
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2699
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2700
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2701
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2703
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2704
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2705
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2706
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2708
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2709
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2710
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2712
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2714
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2716
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2717
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2720
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2721
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2724
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2726
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2727
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2728
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2731
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2733
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2735
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2738
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2739
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2741
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2742
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2745
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2746
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2749
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2751
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2753
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2754
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2756
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2757
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2758
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2759
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2760
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2761
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2763
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2765
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2766
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2769
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2770
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2772
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2773
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2775
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2777
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2778
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2779
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2780
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2781
specification by Martin Pool.
2782
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2784
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2787
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2788
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2790
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2791
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2792
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2794
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2796
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2797
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2802
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2803
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2805
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2807
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2809
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2812
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2813
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2814
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2815
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2819
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2820
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2821
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2822
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2824
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2825
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2826
tried. (Martin Pool)
2828
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2831
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2833
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2834
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2835
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2837
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2838
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2840
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2841
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2842
paths. (Robert Collins)
2844
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2845
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2846
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2848
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2849
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2850
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2852
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2853
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2854
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2856
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2859
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2862
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2864
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2866
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2867
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2868
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2871
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2872
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2874
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2875
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2876
check. (Robert Collins)
2878
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2879
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2883
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2884
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2886
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2887
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2888
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2889
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2891
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2892
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2893
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2894
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2895
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2897
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2898
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2899
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2901
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2903
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2904
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2911
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2912
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2914
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2915
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2916
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2919
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2920
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2922
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2923
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2924
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2925
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2926
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2928
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2929
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2930
used. (Robert Collins)
2932
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2933
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2936
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2937
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2938
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2940
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2943
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2944
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2948
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2949
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2951
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2953
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2955
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2956
tree. (Robert Collins)
2958
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2959
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2960
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2963
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2966
* Tweaks to short log printing
2968
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2971
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2972
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2974
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2975
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2977
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2978
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2980
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2981
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2982
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2984
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2985
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2987
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2988
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2991
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2992
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2994
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2995
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2997
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2998
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3000
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3003
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3004
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3006
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3007
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3009
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3010
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3011
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3015
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3017
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3019
* Error when run with -OO
3021
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3024
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3026
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3028
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3029
ignored by diff and status
3031
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3032
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3034
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3036
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3038
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3039
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3041
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3042
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3044
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3047
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3048
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3050
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3052
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3053
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3055
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3058
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3059
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3061
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3065
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3066
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3068
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3070
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3072
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3074
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3075
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3076
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3078
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3080
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3081
(John Arbash Meinel)
3083
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3085
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3086
If adding a new test script please add that to
3087
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3089
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3090
imported. (Martin Pool)
3092
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3093
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3094
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3095
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3096
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3099
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3100
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3101
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3103
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3104
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3105
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3107
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3108
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3109
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3110
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3111
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3114
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3115
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3120
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3121
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3123
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3124
function. (Robert Collins)
3126
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3127
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3128
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3130
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3131
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3134
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3135
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3136
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3137
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3138
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3139
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3140
version. (Robert Collins)
3142
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3143
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3145
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3146
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3147
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3148
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3149
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3150
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3152
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3155
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3165
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3167
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3169
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3172
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3173
query method. (Robert Collins)
3175
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3178
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3181
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3184
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3185
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3186
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3187
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3189
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3190
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3191
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3192
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3194
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3195
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3202
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3205
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3209
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3210
a separator, not ':'.
3213
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3214
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3215
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3217
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3218
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3221
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3222
has been added that suppresses all output.
3224
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3227
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3228
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3230
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3231
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3233
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3234
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3236
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3237
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3238
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3239
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3241
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3243
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3244
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3246
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3247
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3249
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3250
output directory, if one was supplied.
3252
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3253
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3254
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3255
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3257
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3259
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3260
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3262
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3263
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3264
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3266
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3267
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3269
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3272
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3274
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3278
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3279
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3280
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3282
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3283
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3284
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3286
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3287
is given. (Martin Pool)
3289
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3290
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3291
file. (Robert Collins)
3293
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3298
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3299
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3300
representation. (Martin Pool).
3302
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3303
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3304
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3306
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3309
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3310
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3313
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3314
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3315
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3316
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3317
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3319
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3320
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3321
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3322
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3323
python path. (Robert Collins)
3325
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3326
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3327
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3328
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3330
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3331
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3333
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3334
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3337
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3338
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3339
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3341
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3342
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3343
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3345
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3346
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3348
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3349
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3350
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3353
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3354
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3355
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3356
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3359
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3362
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3363
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3366
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3367
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3368
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3370
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3371
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3372
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3374
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3375
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3376
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3378
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3379
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3381
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3382
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3383
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3384
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3385
caller. (Robert Collins)
3387
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3388
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3391
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3392
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3395
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3397
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3398
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3402
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3403
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3405
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3406
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3409
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3410
====================
3414
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3415
allow directories to be listed.
3417
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3418
upgrading branch format.
3422
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3430
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3431
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3432
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3433
high-latency connections.
3437
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3440
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3441
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3443
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3444
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3445
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3446
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3448
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3449
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3451
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3452
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3454
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3455
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3456
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3458
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3459
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3460
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3463
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3464
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3466
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3467
different partial views of history.
3469
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3470
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3474
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3475
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3476
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3478
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3479
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3482
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3483
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3485
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3488
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3489
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3491
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3492
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3493
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3494
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3496
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3498
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3499
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3502
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3503
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3505
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3506
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3507
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3512
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3513
for your viewing pleasure.
3515
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3516
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3518
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3519
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3520
handling of such circumstances.
3522
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3523
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3524
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3526
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3528
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3529
we call them revisions not patches.
3531
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3532
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3534
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3535
giving the revision *of that file*.
3537
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3538
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3539
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3543
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3544
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3546
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3547
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3550
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3551
====================
3555
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3557
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3560
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3562
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3564
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3565
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3569
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3570
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3572
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3573
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3574
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3575
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3578
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3579
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3583
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3585
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3586
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3589
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3590
====================
3594
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3595
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3596
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3597
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3600
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3603
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3604
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3605
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3606
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3607
for the operating system is still tried.
3609
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3610
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3611
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3616
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3620
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3622
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3625
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3631
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3633
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3636
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3637
====================
3641
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3642
help with intelligent shell completion.
3644
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3649
* Much better merge support.
3651
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3652
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3658
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3659
mention revisions that are not present.
3661
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3663
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3665
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3666
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3671
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3673
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3674
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3680
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3681
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3686
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3687
====================
3691
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3692
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3694
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3696
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3697
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3699
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3702
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3704
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3707
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3708
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3710
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3711
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3712
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3717
* Faster working tree operations.
3722
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3723
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3724
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3725
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3727
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3728
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3729
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3730
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3731
standard plugins directory.
3733
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3734
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3735
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3736
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3738
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3739
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3741
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3744
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3745
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3746
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3748
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3749
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3751
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3752
line options must come before the command name because they
3753
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3754
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3757
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3759
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3760
is available with ``--short``.
3765
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3768
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3769
=====================
3773
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3774
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3776
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3777
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3778
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3779
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3781
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3782
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3783
with the ``--forward`` option.
3785
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3786
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3792
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3793
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3795
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3797
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3798
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3800
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3802
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3803
either read or write mode.
3805
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3807
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3810
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3812
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3813
suggested by LarstiQ.
3815
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3816
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3818
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3821
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3822
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3824
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3825
haven't changed since the previous time.
3827
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3828
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3830
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3832
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3834
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3835
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3837
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3838
options through to an external GNU diff.
3840
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3843
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3849
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3850
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3852
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3858
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3859
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3862
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3863
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3865
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3866
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3868
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3869
under a different version.
3871
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3876
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3878
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3879
Scott James Remnant.
3881
* Better help messages for many commands.
3883
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3884
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3886
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3887
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3889
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3891
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3893
* New AtomicFile class.
3895
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3900
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3901
2.4 is now only recommended.
3904
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3905
=====================
3909
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3910
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3912
* More default ignore patterns.
3914
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3915
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3917
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3919
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3922
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3927
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3928
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3929
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3930
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3931
there are DNS problems.
3933
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3938
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3940
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3942
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3943
trailing newlines properly.
3948
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3951
* More tests in test.sh.
3953
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3954
directory and delete it when done.
3956
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3961
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3964
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3968
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3969
=====================
3973
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3976
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3978
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3981
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3984
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3986
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3990
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3991
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3996
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3997
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4002
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4006
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4014
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4017
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4018
===================================
4022
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4024
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4025
rather than replacing it.
4027
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4031
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4034
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4035
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4037
* Performance improvements.
4039
* New global --profile option.
4041
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4042
the root directory only.
4045
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4046
=====================
4050
* More information from info command.
4052
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4054
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4055
committing to stores.
4057
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4061
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4065
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4066
installation easier.
4068
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4072
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
4073
========================
4077
* First public release.
4079
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
