CHANGES:
11
12
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
13
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
14
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
15
(Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
18
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
19
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
20
(Ian Clatworthy)
21
22
FEATURES:
23
24
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
25
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
26
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
27
(Lukáš Lalinský)
28
29
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
30
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
31
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
32
33
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
34
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
35
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
36
37
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
38
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
39
40
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
41
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
42
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
43
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
44
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
45
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
46
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
47
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
48
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
49
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
50
51
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
52
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
53
54
BUG FIXES:
55
56
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
57
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
58
59
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
60
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
61
62
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
63
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
64
65
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
66
(Aaron Bentley)
67
68
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
69
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
70
71
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
72
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
73
74
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
75
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
76
77
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
78
(Blake Winton, #129299)
79
80
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
81
82
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
83
Watkins, #106726)
84
85
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
86
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
87
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
88
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
89
90
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
91
92
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
93
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
94
#133548)
95
96
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
97
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
98
99
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
100
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
101
#116143)
102
103
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
104
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
105
106
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
107
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
108
109
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
110
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
111
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
112
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
113
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
114
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
115
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
116
117
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
118
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
119
120
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
121
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
122
123
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
124
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
125
126
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
128
129
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
130
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
131
132
IMPROVEMENTS:
133
134
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
135
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
136
137
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
138
(Aaron Bentley)
139
140
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
141
(Aaron Bentley)
142
143
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
144
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
145
146
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
147
148
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
149
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
150
151
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
152
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
153
154
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
155
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
156
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
157
space). (Robert Collins)
158
159
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
160
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
161
(Ian Clatworthy)
162
163
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
164
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
165
166
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
167
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
168
169
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
170
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
171
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
172
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
173
174
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
175
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
176
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
177
(Lukáš Lalinský)
178
179
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
180
(Ian Clatworthy)
181
182
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
183
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
184
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
185
186
API BREAKS:
187
188
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
189
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
190
191
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
192
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
193
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
194
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
195
affected. (Robert Collins)
196
197
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
198
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
199
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
200
(Robert Collins)
201
202
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
203
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
204
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
205
206
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
207
previous release. (Martin Pool)
208
209
TESTING:
210
211
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
212
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
213
214
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
215
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
216
217
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
218
previous release. (Martin Pool)
219
220
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
221
(Aaron Bentley)
222
223
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
224
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
225
226
INTERNALS:
227
228
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
229
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
230
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
231
its version information. (Robert Collins)
232
233
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
234
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
235
236
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
237
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
238
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
239
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
240
241
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
242
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
243
present. (Robert Collins)
244
245
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
246
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
247
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
248
API. (Robert Collins)
249
250
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
251
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
252
(Robert Collins)
253
254
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
255
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
256
257
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
258
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
259
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
260
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
261
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
262
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
263
264
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
265
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
266
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
267
268
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
269
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
270
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
271
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
272
protocol.
273
274
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
275
(Aaron Bentley)
276
277
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
278
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
279
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
280
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
281
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
282
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
283
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
284
285
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
286
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
287
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
288
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
289
290
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
291
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
292
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
293
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
294
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
295
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
296
297
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
298
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
299
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
300
301
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
302
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
303
304
305
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
306
===================
307
308
IMPROVEMENTS:
309
310
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
311
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
312
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
313
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
314
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
315
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
316
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
317
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
318
319
320
API CHANGES:
321
322
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
323
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
324
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
325
326
327
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
328
======================
329
330
BUGFIXES:
331
332
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
333
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
334
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
335
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
336
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
337
338
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
340
341
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
342
anymore.
343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
344
345
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
346
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
347
(Vincent Ladeuil)
348
349
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
350
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
351
#111664)
352
353
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
354
(Lukáš Lalinský)
355
356
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
357
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
358
359
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
360
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
361
362
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
363
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
364
365
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
366
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
367
368
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
369
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
370
371
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
372
(Aaron Bentley)
373
374
IMPROVEMENTS:
375
376
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
377
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
378
379
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
380
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
381
382
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
383
the repository (Robert Collins)
384
385
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
386
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
387
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
388
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
389
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
390
391
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
392
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
393
394
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
395
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
396
(John Arbash Meinel)
397
398
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
399
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
400
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
401
about 10%).
402
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
403
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
404
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
405
(John Arbash Meinel)
406
407
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
408
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
409
(Robert Collins)
410
411
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
412
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
413
414
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
415
(Ian Clatworthy)
416
417
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
418
419
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
420
421
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
422
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
423
424
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
425
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
426
Meinel)
427
428
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
429
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
430
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
431
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
432
433
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
434
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
435
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
436
437
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
438
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
439
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
440
441
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
442
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
443
444
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
445
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
446
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
447
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
448
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
449
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
450
(Ian Clatworthy)
451
452
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
453
(Alexander Belchenko)
454
455
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
456
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
457
458
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
459
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
460
461
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
462
463
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
464
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
465
466
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
467
468
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
469
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
470
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
471
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
472
473
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
474
475
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
476
(Robert Collins)
477
478
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
479
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
480
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
481
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
482
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
483
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
484
485
INTERNALS:
486
487
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
488
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
489
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
490
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
491
492
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
493
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
494
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
495
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
496
tests have been refactored too.
497
(Vincent Ladeuil)
498
499
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
500
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
501
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
502
list, it will.
503
(Vincent Ladeuil)
504
505
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
506
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
507
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
508
509
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
510
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
511
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
512
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
513
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
514
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
515
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
516
517
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
518
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
519
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
520
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
521
(John Arbash Meinel)
522
523
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
524
functionality for testing.
525
526
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
527
528
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
529
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
530
531
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
532
533
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
534
(Robert Collins)
535
536
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
537
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
538
539
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
540
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
541
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
542
543
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
544
(Aaron Bentley)
545
546
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
547
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
548
549
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
550
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
551
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
552
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
553
554
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
555
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
556
557
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
558
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
559
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
560
561
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
562
(Marius Kruger)
563
564
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
565
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
566
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
567
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
568
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
569
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
570
571
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
572
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
573
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
574
many files. (Robert Collins)
575
576
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
577
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
578
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
579
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
580
581
TESTING:
582
583
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
584
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
585
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
586
587
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
588
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
589
590
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
591
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
592
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
607
608
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
609
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
610
611
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
612
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
613
(James Westby, #122656)
614
615
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
616
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
617
618
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
619

620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
621
622
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
623
624
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
625
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
626
627
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
628
629
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
630
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
631
632
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
633
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
634
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
635
636
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
637
individually and as part of revision ranges.
638
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
639
640
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
641
(Martin Pool, #109169)
642
643
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
644
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
645
646
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
647
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
648
649
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
650
651
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
652
653
IMPROVEMENTS:
654
655
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
656
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
657
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
658
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
659
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
660
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
661
662
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
663
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
664
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
665
666
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
667
(Elliot Murphy)
668
669
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
670
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
671
672
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
673
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
674
675
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
676
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
677
678
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
679
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
680
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
681
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
682
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
683
684
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
685
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
686
687
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
688
can be slow it is useful feedback).
689
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
690
691
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
692
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
693
694
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
695
696
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
697
output. (Aaron Bentley)
698
699
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
700
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
701
(Robert Collins)
702
703
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
704
(Martin Pool)
705
706
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
707
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
708
709
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
710
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
711
712
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
713
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
714
715
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
716
717
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
718
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
719
720
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
721
(Andrew Bennetts)
722
723
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
724
725
* Testing cleanups -
726
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
727
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
728
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
729
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
730
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
731
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
732
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
733
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
734
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
735
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
736
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
737
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
738
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
739
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
740
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
741
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
742
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
743
(Robert Collins)
744
745
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
746
747
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
748
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
749
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
750
751
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
752
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
753
754
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
755
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
756
757
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
758
759
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
760
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
761
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
762
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
763
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
764
same location. (Robert Collins)
765
766
INTERNALS:
767
768
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
769
770
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
771
772
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
773
774
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
775
(Martin Pool)
776
777
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
778
(Martin Pool)
779
780
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
781
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
782
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
783
784
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
785
786
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
787
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
788
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
789
790
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
791
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
792
793
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
794
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
795
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
796
797
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
798
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
799
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
800
801
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
802
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
803
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
804
805
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
806
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
807
Martin Pool)
808
809
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
810
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
811
812
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
813
(Alexander Belchenko)
814
815
TESTING:
816
817
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
818
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
819
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
820
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
821
822
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
823
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
824
testing. (Robert Collins)
825
826
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
827
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
828
829
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
830
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
831
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
832
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
833
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
834
attribute during the test parameterisation in
835
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
836
837
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
838
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
839
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
840
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
841
842
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
843
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
844
845
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
846
avoid useless cloning.

=======================
864
865
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
866
867
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
868
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
869
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
870
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
871
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
872
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
873
and unlock() like so::
874
875
work_tree.lock_read()
876
try:
877
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
878
finally:
879
work_tree.unlock()
880
881
INTERNALS:
882
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
883
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
884
object.
885
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
886
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
887
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
888
889
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
890
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
891
too. (Robert Collins)
892
893
IMPROVEMENTS:
894
895
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
896
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
897
Aaron Bentley)
898
899
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
900
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
901
902
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
903
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
904
905
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
906
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
907
understanding what changes have occurred
908
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
909
910
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
911
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
912
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
913
914
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
915
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
916
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
917
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
918
919
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
920
#56322)
921
922
BUGFIXES:
923
924
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
925
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
926
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
927
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
928
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
929
930
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
931
based on split paths, not just string paths.
932
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
933
934
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
935
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
936
937
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
938
into account.
939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
940
941
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
942
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
943
944
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
945
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
946
947
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
948
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
949
950
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
951
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
952
953
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
954
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
955
956
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
957
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
958
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
961
====================
962
963
BUGFIXES:
964
965
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
966
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
967
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
968
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
969
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
970
971
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
972
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
973
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
974
975
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
976
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
977
978
IMPROVEMENTS:
979
980
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
981
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
982
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
983
984
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
985
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
986
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
987
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
988
989
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
990
=======================
991
992
BUGFIXES:
993
994
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
995
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
996
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
997
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
998
999
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1000
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1001
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1002
1003
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1004
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1005
1006
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1007
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1008
1009
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1010
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1011
1012
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1013
=======================
1014
1015
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1016
1017
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1018
it could be recovered again.
1019
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1020
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1021
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1022
but not delete it.
1023
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1024
files.
1025
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1026
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1027
1028
IMPROVEMENTS:
1029
1030
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1031
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1032
1033
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1034
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1035
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1036
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1037
1038
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1039
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1040
1041
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1042
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1043
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1044
1045
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1046
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1047
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1048
1049
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1050
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1051
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1052
1053
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1054
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1055
Robert Collins)
1056
1057
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1058
Pool)
1059
1060
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1061
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1062
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1063
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1064
1065
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1066
(Robert Collins)
1067
1068
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1069
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1070
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1071
(Robert Collins)
1072
1073
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1074
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1075
1076
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1077
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1078
1079
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1080
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1081
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1082
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1083
(Robert Collins)
1084
1085
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1086
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1087
1088
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1089
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1090
1091
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1092
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1093
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1094
1095
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1096
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1097
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1098
1099
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1100
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1101
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1102
1103
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1104
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1105
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1106
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1107
1108
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1109
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1110
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1111
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1112
1113
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1114
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1115
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1116
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1117
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1118
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1119
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1120
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1121
header(s).
1122
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1123
1124
INTERNALS:
1125
1126
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1127
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1128
1129
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1130
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1131
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1132
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1133
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1134
1135
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1136
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1137
1138
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1139
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1140
1141
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1142
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1143
1144
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1145
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1146
1147
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1148
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1149
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1150
(Robert Collins).
1151
1152
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1153
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1154
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1155
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1156
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1157
(Robert Collins)
1158
1159
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1160
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1161
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1162
1163
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1164
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1165
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1166
1167
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1168
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1169
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1170
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1171
1172
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1173
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1174
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1175
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1176
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1177
1178
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1179
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1180
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1181
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1182
1183
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1184
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1185
1186
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1187
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1188
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1189
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1190
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1191
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1192
1193
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1194
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1195
1196
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1197
help. (Robert Collins)
1198
1199
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1200
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1201
1202
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1203
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1204
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1205
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1206
(John Arbash Meinel)
1207
1208
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1209
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1210
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1211
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1212
useful. (Robert Collins)
1213
1214
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1215
(Andrew Bennetts)
1216
1217
BUGFIXES:
1218
1219
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1220
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1221
1222
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1223
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1224
1225
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1226
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1227
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1228
1229
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1230
(Aaron Bentley)
1231
1232
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1233
the file, and does it faster.
1234
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1235
1236
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1237
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1238
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1239
1240
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1241
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1242
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1243
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1244
1245
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1246
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1247
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1248
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1249
1250
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1251
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1252
1253
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1254
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1255
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1256
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1257
Arbash Meinel)
1258
1259
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1260
1261
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1262
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1263
1264
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1265
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1266
1267
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1268
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1269
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1270
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1271
security hole.
1272
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1273
1274
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1275
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1276
1277
TESTING:
1278
1279
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1280
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1281
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1282
1283
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1284
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1285
1286
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1287
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1288
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1289
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1290
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1291
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1292
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1293
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1294
1295
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1296
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1297
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1298
1299
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1300
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1301
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1302
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1303
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1304
access.
1305
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1306
1307
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1308
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1309
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1310
1311
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1312
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1330
CHANGES:
1331
1332
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1333
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1334
(Martin Pool)
1335
1336
IMPROVEMENTS:
1337
1338
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1339
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1340
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1341
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1342
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1343
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1344
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1345
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1346
path. (vila)
1347
1348
INTERNALS:
1349
1350
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1351
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1352
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1353
1354
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1355
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1356
(Martin Pool)
1357
1358
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1359
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1360
(John Arbash Meinel)
1361
1362
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1363
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1364
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1365
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1366
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1367
1368
BUGFIXES:
1369
1370
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1371
(vila, #92195)
1372
1373
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1374
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1375
1376
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1377
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1378
1379
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1380
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1381
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1382
1383
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1384
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1385
1386
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1387
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1388
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1389
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1390
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1391
1392
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1393
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1394
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1395
1396
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1400
=======================
1401
1402
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1403
1404
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1405
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1406
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1407
1408
IMPROVEMENTS:
1409
1410
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1411
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1412
1413
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1414
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1415
1416
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1417
1418
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1419
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1420
1421
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1422
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1423
1424
INTERNALS:
1425
1426
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1427
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1428
1429
BUGFIXES:
1430
1431
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1432
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1433
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1434
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1435
1436
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1437
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1438
1439
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1440
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1441
1442
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1443
(Marien Zwart)
1444
1445
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1450
=======================
1451
1452
SURPRISES:
1453
1454
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1455
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1456
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1457
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1458
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1459
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1460
1461
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1462
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1463
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1464
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1465
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1466
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1467
development.
1468
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1469
1470
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1471
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1472
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1473
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1474
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1475
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1476
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1477
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1478
1479
IMPROVEMENTS:
1480
1481
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1482
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1483
1484
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1485
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1486
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1487
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1488
does exist.
1489
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1490
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1491
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1492
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1493
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1494
1495
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1496
(Aaron Bentley)
1497
1498
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1499
(Aaron Bentley)
1500
1501
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1502
(Robert Collins)
1503
1504
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1505
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1506
(Aaron Bentley)
1507
1508
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1509
(Aaron Bentley)
1510
1511
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1512
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1513
1514
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1515
directory. (Martin Pool)
1516
1517
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1518
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1519
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1520
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1521
1522
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1523
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1524
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1525
in docs/configuration.txt.
1526
1527
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1528
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1529
bind location.
1530
1531
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1532
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1533
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1534
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1535
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1536
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1537
1538
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1539
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1540
1541
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1542
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1543
1544
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1545
(Aaron Bentley)
1546
1547
INTERNALS:
1548
1549
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1550
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1551
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1552
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1553
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1554
(John Arbash Meinel)
1555
1556
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1557
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1558
(Aaron Bentley)
1559
1560
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1561
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1562
(John Arbash Meinel)
1563
1564
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1565
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1566
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1567
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1568
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1569
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1570
1571
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1572
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1573
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1574
1575
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1576
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1577
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1578
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1579
repository.
1580
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1581
1582
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1583
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1584
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1585
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1586
1587
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1588
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1589
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1590
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1591
1592
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1593
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1594
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1595
1596
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1597
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1598
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1599
1600
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1601
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1602
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1603
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1604
1605
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1606
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1607
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1608
1609
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1610
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1611
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1612
1613
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1614
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1615
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1616
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1617
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1618
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1619
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1620
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1621
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1622
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1623
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1624
1625
BUGFIXES:
1626
1627
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1628
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1629
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1630
1631
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1632
(Aaron Bentley)
1633
1634
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1635
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1636
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1637
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1638
1639
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1640
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1641
#83954).
1642
1643
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1644
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1645
1646
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1647
1648
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1649
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1650
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1651
1652
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1653
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1654
1655
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1656
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1657
1658
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1660
1661
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1662
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1663
1664
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1665
1666
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1667
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1668
1669
TESTING:
1670
1671
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1672
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

====================
1677
1678
IMPROVEMENTS:
1679
1680
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1681
1682
BUG FIXES:
1683
1684
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1685
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1686
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1687
1688
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1689
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1690
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1693
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1694
=======================
1695
1696
IMPROVEMENTS:
1697
1698
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1699
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1700
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1701
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1702
1703
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1704
(Marius Kruger)
1705
1706
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1707
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1708
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1709
1710
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1711
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1712
1713
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1714
(Aaron Bentley)
1715
1716
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1717
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1718
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1719
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1720
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1721
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1722
1723
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1724
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1725
should enable you to do::
1726
1727
[/home/user/project]
1728
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1729
push_location:policy = appendpath
1730
1731
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1732
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1733
(James Henstridge)
1734
1735
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1736
for each file. For example::
1737
1738
$ bzr status --short
1739
A foo
1740
A bar
1741
D baz
1742
? wooley
1743
1744
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1745
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1746
1747
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1748
1749
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1750
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1751
1752
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1753
1754
INTERNALS:
1755
1756
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1757
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1758
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1759
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1760
1761
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1762
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1763
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1764
1765
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1766
1767
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1768
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1769
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1770
(Alexander Belchenko)
1771
1772
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1773
Pool)
1774
1775
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1776
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1777
1778
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1779
1780
BUG FIXES:
1781
1782
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1783
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1784
1785
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1786
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1787
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1788
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1789
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1790
1791
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1792
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1793
1794
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1795
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1796
1797
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1798
matcher.
1799
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1800
1801
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1802
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1803
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1804
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1805
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1806
1807
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1808
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1809
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1810
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1811
1812
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1813
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1814
1815
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1816
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1817
1818
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1819
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

1833
IMPROVEMENTS:
1834
1835
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1836
tree from a branch.
1837
(Daniel Silverstone)
1838
1839
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1840
operations are substantially faster.
1841
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1842
1843
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1844
tree from some other url. For example:
1845
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1846
(Daniel Silverstone)
1847
1848
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1849
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1850
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1851
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1852
1853
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1854
(Andrew Bennetts)
1855
1856
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1857
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1858
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1859
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1860
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1861
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1862
1863
INTERNALS:
1864
1865
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1866
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1867
(Martin Pool)
1868
1869
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1870
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1871
(John Arbash Meinel)
1872
1873
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1874
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1875
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1876
(John Arbash Meinel)
1877
1878
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1879
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1880
1881
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1882
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1883
1884
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1885
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1886
Bennetts)
1887
1888
BUG FIXES:
1889
1890
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1891
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1892
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1893
1894
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1895
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1896
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1897
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1898
1899
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1900
1901
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1902
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1903
1904
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1905
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1906
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1907
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1908
1909
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1910
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1911
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1912
1913
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1914
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1915
them as full references rather than integers.
1916
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1917
1918
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1919
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1920
1921
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1922
1923
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1924
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1925
1926
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1927
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1928
1929
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1930
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1931
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1932
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1933
1934
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1935
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1936
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1937
1938
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1939
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1940
1941
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1942
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1943
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1944
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1945
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1946
1947
TESTING:
1948
1949
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1950
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1951
1952
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1953
====================
1954
1955
INTERNALS:
1956
1957
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1958
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1959
(John Arbash Meinel)
1960
1961
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1962
=======================
1963
1964
IMPROVEMENTS:
1965
1966
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1967
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1968
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1969
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1970
1971
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1972
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1973
1974
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1975
1976
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1977
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1978
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1979
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1980
1981
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1982
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1983
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1984
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1985
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1986
1987
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1988
1989
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1990
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1991
1992
INTERNALS:
1993
1994
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1995
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1996
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1997
1998
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1999
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2000
(John Arbash Meinel)
2001
2002
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2003
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2004
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2005
2006
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2007
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2008
(Aaron Bentley)
2009
2010
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2011
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2012
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2013
2014
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2015
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2016
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2017
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2018
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2019
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2020
2021
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2022
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2023
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2024
(Robert Collins)
2025
2026
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2027
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2028
2029
BUG FIXES:
2030
2031
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2032
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2033
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2034
#63360, #66349)
2035
2036
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2037
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2038
2039
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2040
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2041
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2042
2043
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2044
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2045
2046
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2047
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2048
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2049
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2050
2051
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2052
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2053
2054
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2055
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2056
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2057
2058
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2059
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2060
2061
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2062
2063
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2064
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2065
#32054)
2066
2067
TESTING:
2068
2069
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2070
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2071
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2072
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2073
2074
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2075
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2076
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2077
2078
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
2079
====================
2080
2081
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2082
2083
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2084
=======================
2085
2086
BUG FIXES:
2087
2088
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2089
2090
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2091
Arbash Meinel).
2092
2093
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2094
=======================
2095
2096
IMPROVEMENTS:
2097
2098
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2099
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2100
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2101
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2102
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2103
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2104
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2105
2106
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2107
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2108
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2109
2110
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2111
2112
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2113
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2114
2115
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2116
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2117
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2118
(Robert Collins)
2119
2120
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2121
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2122
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2123
(John Arbash Meinel)
2124
2125
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2126
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2127
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2128
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2129
Pool)
2130
2131
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2132
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2133
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2134
(John Arbash Meinel)
2135
2136
BUG FIXES:
2137
2138
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2139
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2140
2141
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2142
2143
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2144
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2145
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2146
2147
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2148
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2149
2150
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2151
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2152
2153
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2155
2156
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2157
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2158
2159
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2160
2161
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2162
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2163
2164
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2165
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2166
2167
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2168
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2169
2170
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2171
(John Arbash Meinel)
2172
2173
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2174
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2175
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2176
2177
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2178
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2179
2180
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2181
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2182
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2183
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2184
2185
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2186
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2187
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2188
2189
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2190
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2191
2192
PORTABILITY:
2193
2194
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2195
2196
INTERNALS:
2197
2198
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2199
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2200
(John Arbash Meinel)
2201
2202
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2203
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2204
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2205
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2206
2207
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2208
(Andrew Bennetts)
2209
2210
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2211
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2212
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2213
2214
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2215
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2216
2217
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2218
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2219
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2220
2221
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2222
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2223
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2224
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2225
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2226
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2227
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2228
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2229
caller to repeat their request.
2230
(John Arbash Meinel)
2231
2232
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2233
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2234
2235
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2236
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2237
2238
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2239
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2240
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2241
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2242
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2243
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2244
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2245
2246
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2247
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2248
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2249
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2250
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2251
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2252
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2253
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2254
(Robert Collins)
2255
2256
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2257
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2258
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2259
2260
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2261
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2262
2263
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2264
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2267
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2268
2269
TESTING:
2270
2271
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2272
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2273
2274
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2275
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2276
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2277
2278
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2279
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2280
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2281
2282
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2283
====================
2284
2285
IMPROVEMENTS:
2286
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2287
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2288
2289
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2290
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2291
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2292
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2293
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2294
2295
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2296
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2297
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2298
2299
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2300
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2301
2302
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2303
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2304
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2305
2306
BUG FIXES:
2307
2308
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2309
2310
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2311
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2312
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2313
2314
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2315
2316
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2317
2318
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2319
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2320
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2321
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2322
2323
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2324
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2325
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2326
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2327
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2328
2329
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2330
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2331
2332
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2333
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2334
2335
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2336
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2337
2338
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2339
in handling of revision properties.
2340
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2341
2342
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2343
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2344
2345
INTERNALS:
2346
2347
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2348
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2349
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2350
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2351
(John Arbash Meinel)
2352
2353
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2354
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2355
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2356
2357
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2358
=====================
2359
2360
SURPRISES:
2361
2362
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2363
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2364
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2365
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2366
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2367
a more conservative list than the old default.
2368
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2369
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2370
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2371
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2372
2373
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2374
to more locations than just branch locations.
2375
(Aaron Bentley)
2376
2377
IMPROVEMENTS:
2378
2379
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2380
revno:N:branch. For example,
2381
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2382
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2383
2384
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2385
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2386
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2387
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2388
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2389
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2390
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2391
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2392
#42517, #42514)
2393
2394
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2395
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2396
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2397
(Malone #3507)
2398
2399
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2400
(Alexander Belchenko)
2401
2402
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2403
2404
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2405
(Robert Collins).
2406
2407
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2408
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2409
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2410
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2411
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2412
(John Arbash Meinel)
2413
2414
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2415
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2416
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2417
grained analysis of performance.
2418
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2419
2420
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2421
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2422
2423
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2424
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2425
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2426
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2427
file. (Robert Collins).
2428
2429
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2430
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2431
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2432
2433
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2434
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2435
Matthieu Moy)
2436
2437
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2438
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2441
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2442
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2443
the same way you would apply another branch.
2444
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2445
2446
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2447
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2448
2449
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2450
(Michael Ellerman)
2451
2452
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2453
(Aaron Bentley)
2454
2455
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2456
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2457
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2458
2459
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2460
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2461
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2462
2463
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2464
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2465
2466
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2467
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2468
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2469
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2470
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2471
2472
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2473
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2474
2475
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2476
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2477
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2478
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2479
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2480
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2481
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2482
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2483
2484
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2485
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2486
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2487
2488
BUG FIXES:
2489
2490
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2491
tests not to run.
2492
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2493
2494
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2495
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2496
2497
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2498
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2499
2500
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2501
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2502
2503
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2504
2505
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2506
(John Arbash Meinel)
2507
2508
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2509
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2510
2511
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2512
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2513
and y.
2514
2515
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2516
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2517
2518
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2519
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2520
2521
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2522
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2523
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2524
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2525
2526
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2527
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2528
2529
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2530
2531
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2532
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2533
2534
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2535
2536
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2537
2538
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2539
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2540
2541
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2542
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2543
2544
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2545
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2546
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2547
2548
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2549
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2550
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2551
2552
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2553
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2554
2555
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2556
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2557
2558
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2559
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2560
2561
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2562
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2563
2564
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2565
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2566
2567
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2568
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2569
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2570
2571
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2572
2573
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2574
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2575
2576
INTERNALS:
2577
2578
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2579
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2580
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2581
2582
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2583
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2584
2585
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2586
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2587
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2588
2589
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2590
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2591
2592
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2593
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2594
(Martin Pool)
2595
2596
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2597
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2598
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2599
2600
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2601
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2602
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2603
2604
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2605
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2606
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2607
2608
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2609
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2610
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2611
2612
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2613
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2614
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2615
2616
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2617
instead. (Robert Collins)
2618
2619
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2629
=====================
2630
2631
BUG FIXES:
2632
2633
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2634
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2635
2636
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2637
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2638
2639
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2640
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2641
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2642
2643
CHANGES:
2644
2645
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2646
2647
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2648
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2649
2650
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2651
2652
CHANGES:
2653
2654
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2655
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2656
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2657
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2658
2659
NEW FEATURES:
2660
2661
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2662
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2663
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2664
2665
INTERNALS:
2666
2667
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2668
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2669
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2670
2671
TESTING:
2672
2673
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2674
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2675
2676
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2677
===================
2678
2679
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2680
2681
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2682
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2683
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2684
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2685
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2686
will keep the same format.
2687
2688
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2689
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2690
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2691
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2692
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2693
2694
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2695
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2696
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2697
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2698
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2699
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2700
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2701
2702
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2703
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2704
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2705
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2706
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2707
2708
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2709
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2710
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2711
arrangement.
2712
2713
2714
IMPROVEMENTS:
2715
2716
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2717
convention. Paths now take the form::
2718
2719
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2720
or
2721
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2722
2723
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2724
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2725
2726
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2727
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2728
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2729
2730
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2731
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2732
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2733
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2734
2735
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2736
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2737
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2738
2739
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2740
2741
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2742
2743
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2744
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2745
commits::
2746
2747
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2748
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2749
| xargs bzr re-sign
2750
2751
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2752
2753
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2754
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2755
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2756
(Robert Collins)
2757
2758
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2759
2760
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2761
2762
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2763
'.moved'.
2764
2765
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2766
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2767
2768
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2769
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2770
Daniel Silverstone)
2771
2772
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2773
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2774
Martin Pool)
2775
2776
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2777
2778
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2779
2780
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2781
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2782
2783
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2784
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2785
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2786
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2787
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2788
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2789
2790
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2791
2792
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2793
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2794
(Robert Collins)
2795
2796
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2797
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2798
2799
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2800
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2801
2802
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2803
2804
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2805
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2806
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2807
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2808
specification by Martin Pool.
2809
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2810
2811
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2812
Belchenko)
2813
2814
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2815
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2816
2817
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2818
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2819
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2820
2821
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2822
2823
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2824
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2825
(Robert Collins)
2826
2827
CHANGES:
2828
2829
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2830
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2831
2832
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2833
2834
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2835
2836
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2837
(Olaf Conradi)
2838
2839
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2840
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2841
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2842
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2843
2844
INTERNALS:
2845
2846
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2847
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2848
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2849
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2850
2851
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2852
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2853
tried. (Martin Pool)
2854
2855
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2856
(Martin Pool)
2857
2858
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2859
2860
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2861
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2862
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2863
2864
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2865
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2866
2867
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2868
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2869
paths. (Robert Collins)
2870
2871
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2872
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2873
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2874
2875
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2876
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2877
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2880
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2881
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2882
2883
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2884
(Olaf Conradi)
2885
2886
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2887
(Olaf Conradi)
2888
2889
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2890
2891
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2892
2893
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2894
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2895
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2896
(Robert Collins)
2897
2898
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2899
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2900
2901
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2902
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2903
check. (Robert Collins)
2904
2905
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2906
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2907
2908
TESTING:
2909
2910
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2911
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2912
2913
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2914
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2915
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2916
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2917
2918
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2919
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2920
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2921
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2922
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2923
2924
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2925
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2926
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2927
2928
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2929
2930
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2931
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2932
2933
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2934
==================
2935
2936
CHANGES:
2937
2938
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2939
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2940
2941
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2942
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2943
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2944
(Johan Rydberg)
2945
2946
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2947
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2948
2949
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2950
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2951
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2952
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2953
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2954
2955
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2956
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2957
used. (Robert Collins)
2958
2959
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2960
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2961
(James Henstridge)
2962
2963
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2964
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2965
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2966
2967
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2968
ignore list.
2969
2970
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2971
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2972
2973
IMPROVEMENTS:
2974
2975
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2976
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2977
2978
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2979
2980
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2981
2982
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2983
tree. (Robert Collins)
2984
2985
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2986
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2987
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2988
(Robert Collins)
2989
2990
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2991
that they be kept.
2992
2993
* Tweaks to short log printing
2994
2995
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2996
(Aaron Bentley)
2997
2998
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2999
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3000
3001
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3002
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3003
3004
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3005
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3006
3007
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3008
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3009
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3010
3011
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3012
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3013
3014
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3015
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3016
requests.
3017
3018
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3019
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3020
3021
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3022
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3023
3024
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3025
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3026
3027
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3028
(Denys Duchier)
3029
3030
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3031
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3032
3033
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3034
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3035
3036
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3037
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3038
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3039
3040
BUG FIXES:
3041
3042
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3043
3044
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3045
3046
* Error when run with -OO
3047
3048
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3049
(Martin Pool)
3050
3051
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3052
3053
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3054
3055
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3056
ignored by diff and status
3057
3058
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3059
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3060
3061
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3062
3063
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3064
3065
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3066
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3067
3068
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3069
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3070
3071
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3072
(Harald Meland)
3073
3074
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3075
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3076
3077
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3078
3079
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3080
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3081
3082
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3083
(Martin Pool)
3084
3085
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3086
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3087
3088
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3089
3090
TESTING:
3091
3092
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3093
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3094
3095
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3096
3097
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3098
3099
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3100
3101
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3102
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3103
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3104
3105
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3106
3107
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3108
(John Arbash Meinel)
3109
3110
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3111
3112
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3113
If adding a new test script please add that to
3114
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3115
3116
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3117
imported. (Martin Pool)
3118
3119
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3120
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3121
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3122
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3123
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3124
(Robert Collins)
3125
3126
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3127
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3128
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3129
3130
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3131
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3132
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3133
3134
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3135
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3136
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3137
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3138
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3139
(Robert Collins).
3140
3141
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3142
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3143
(Robert Collins).
3144
3145
INTERNALS:
3146
3147
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3148
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3149
3150
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3151
function. (Robert Collins)
3152
3153
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3154
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3155
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3156
3157
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3158
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3159
(Robert Collins)
3160
3161
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3162
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3163
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3164
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3165
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3166
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3167
version. (Robert Collins)
3168
3169
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3170
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3171
3172
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3173
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3174
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3175
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3176
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3177
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3178
3179
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3180
(Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3183
3184
add()
3185
commit()
3186
move()
3187
rename_one()
3188
unknowns()
3189
3190
(Robert Collins)
3191
3192
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3193
3194
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3195
3196
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3197
Pool)
3198
3199
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3200
query method. (Robert Collins)
3201
3202
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3203
(Denys Duchier)
3204
3205
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3206
(Michael Ellerman)
3207
3208
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3209
(Michael Ellerman)
3210
3211
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3212
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3213
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3214
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3215
3216
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3217
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3218
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3219
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3220
3221
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3222
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

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

bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3714
====================
3715
3716
NEW FEATURES:
3717
3718
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3719
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3720
3721
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3722
3723
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3724
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3725
3726
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3727
FOO.
3728
3729
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3730
3731
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3732
the Unix command.
3733
3734
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3735
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3736
3737
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3738
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3739
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3740
3741
3742
ENHANCEMENTS:
3743
3744
* Faster working tree operations.
3745
3746
3747
CHANGES:
3748
3749
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3750
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3751
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3752
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3753
3754
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3755
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3756
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3757
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3758
standard plugins directory.
3759
3760
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3761
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3762
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3763
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3764
3765
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3766
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3767
3768
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3769
disk.
3770
3771
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3772
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3773
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3774
3775
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3776
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3777
3778
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3779
line options must come before the command name because they
3780
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3781
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3782
it.
3783
3784
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3785
3786
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3787
is available with ``--short``.
3788
3789
3790
BUG FIXES:
3791
3792
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3793
3794
3795
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3796
=====================
3797
3798
CHANGES:
3799
3800
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3801
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3802
3803
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3804
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3805
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3806
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3807
3808
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3809
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3810
with the ``--forward`` option.
3811
3812
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3813
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3814
field.
3815
3816
3817
ENHANCEMENTS:
3818
3819
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3820
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3821
3822
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3823
3824
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3825
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3826
3827
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3828
3829
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3830
either read or write mode.
3831
3832
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3833
3834
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3835
affected that file.
3836
3837
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3838
3839
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3840
suggested by LarstiQ.
3841
3842
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3843
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3844
3845
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3846
a filename.
3847
3848
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3849
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3850
3851
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3852
haven't changed since the previous time.
3853
3854
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3855
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3856
3857
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3858
3859
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3860
3861
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3862
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3863
3864
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3865
options through to an external GNU diff.
3866
3867
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3868
their contents.
3869
3870
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3871
from a branch.
3872
3873
3874
BUG FIXES:
3875
3876
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3877
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3878
3879
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3880
metacharacters.
3881
3882
3883
TESTING:
3884
3885
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3886
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3887
the tests.
3888
3889
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3890
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3891
3892
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3893
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3894
3895
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3896
under a different version.
3897
3898
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3899
3900
3901
INTERNAL:
3902
3903
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3904
3905
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3906
Scott James Remnant.
3907
3908
* Better help messages for many commands.
3909
3910
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3911
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3912
3913
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3914
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3915
3916
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3917
3918
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3919
3920
* New AtomicFile class.
3921
3922
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3923
3924
3925
PORTABILITY:
3926
3927
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3928
2.4 is now only recommended.
3929
3930
3931
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3932
=====================
3933
3934
ENHANCEMENTS:
3935
3936
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3937
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3938
3939
* More default ignore patterns.
3940
3941
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3942
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3943
3944
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3945
3946
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3947
by Jason Diamon.
3948
3949
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3950
3951
3952
CHANGES:
3953
3954
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3955
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3956
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3957
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3958
there are DNS problems.
3959
3960
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3961
3962
3963
BUG FIXES:
3964
3965
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3966
3967
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3968
3969
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3970
trailing newlines properly.
3971
3972
3973
INTERNAL:
3974
3975
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3976
Matt Brubeck.
3977
3978
* More tests in test.sh.
3979
3980
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3981
directory and delete it when done.
3982
3983
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3984
3985
3986
PORTABILITY:
3987
3988
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3989
Bennetts.
3990
3991
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3992
from QuantumG.

4004
4005
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4006
and/or directory.
4007
4008
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4009
directory.
4010
4011
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4012
4013
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4014
4015
CHANGES:
4016
4017
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4018
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4019
will do for now.)
4020
4021
PORTABILITY:
4022
4023
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4024
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4025
Nielsen.
4026
4027
INTERNAL:
4028

4045
===================================
4046
4047
ENHANCEMENTS:
4048
4049
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4050
4051
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4052
rather than replacing it.
4053
4054
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4055
4056
* More help topics.
4057
4058
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4059
branch.
4060
4061
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4062
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4063
4064
* Performance improvements.
4065
4066
* New global --profile option.
4067
4068
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4069
the root directory only.

4093
installation easier.
4094
4095

4096
supported).
