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

591
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
592
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
593
594
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
595
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
596
(James Westby, #122656)
597
598
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
599

* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
602

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
614

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
616

617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
618

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

848
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
849
850
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
851
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
852
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
853
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
854
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
855
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
856
and unlock() like so::
857
858
work_tree.lock_read()
859
try:
860
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
861
finally:
862
work_tree.unlock()
863
864
INTERNALS:
865
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
866
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
867
object.
868
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
869
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
870
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
871
872
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
873
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
874
too. (Robert Collins)
875
876
IMPROVEMENTS:
877
878
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
879
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
880
Aaron Bentley)
881
882
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
883
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
884
885
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
886
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
887
888
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
889
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
890
understanding what changes have occurred
891
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
892
893
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
894
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
895
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
896
897
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
898
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
899
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
900
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
901
902
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
903
#56322)
904
905
BUGFIXES:
906
907
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
908
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
909
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
910
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
911
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
912
913
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
914
based on split paths, not just string paths.
915
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
916
917
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
919
920
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
921
into account.
922
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
923
924
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
925
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
926
927
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
928
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
929
930
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
931
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
932
933
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
934
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
935
936
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
937
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
938
939
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
940
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
941
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
944
====================
945
946
BUGFIXES:
947
948
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
949
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
950
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
951
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
952
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
953
954
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
955
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
956
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
957
958
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
959
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
960
961
IMPROVEMENTS:
962
963
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
964
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
965
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
966
967
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
968
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
969
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
970
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
971

bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
973
=======================
974
975
BUGFIXES:
976
977
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
978
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
979
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
980
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
981
982
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
983
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
984
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
985
986
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
987
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
988
989
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
990
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
991
992
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
993
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
994

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

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

(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1374
1375
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1376
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1377
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1378
1379
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1383
=======================
1384
1385
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1386
1387
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1388
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1389
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1390
1391
IMPROVEMENTS:
1392
1393
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1394
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1395
1396
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1397
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1398
1399
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1400
1401
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1402
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1403
1404
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1405
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1406
1407
INTERNALS:
1408
1409
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1410
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1411
1412
BUGFIXES:
1413
1414
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1415
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1416
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1417
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1418
1419
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1420
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1421
1422
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1423
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1424
1425
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1426
(Marien Zwart)
1427
1428
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1433
=======================
1434
1435
SURPRISES:
1436
1437
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1438
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1439
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1440
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1441
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1442
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1443
1444
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1445
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1446
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1447
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1448
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1449
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1450
development.
1451
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1452
1453
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1454
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1455
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1456
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1457
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1458
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1459
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1460
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1461
1462
IMPROVEMENTS:
1463
1464
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1465
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1466
1467
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1468
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1469
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1470
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1471
does exist.
1472
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1473
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1474
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1475
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1476
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1477
1478
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1479
(Aaron Bentley)
1480
1481
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1482
(Aaron Bentley)
1483
1484
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1485
(Robert Collins)
1486
1487
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1488
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1489
(Aaron Bentley)
1490
1491
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1492
(Aaron Bentley)
1493
1494
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1495
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1496
1497
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1498
directory. (Martin Pool)
1499
1500
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1501
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1502
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1503
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1504
1505
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1506
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1507
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1508
in docs/configuration.txt.
1509
1510
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1511
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1512
bind location.
1513
1514
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1515
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1516
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1517
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1518
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1519
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1520
1521
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1522
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1523
1524
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1525
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1526
1527
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1528
(Aaron Bentley)
1529
1530
INTERNALS:
1531
1532
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1533
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1534
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1535
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1536
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1537
(John Arbash Meinel)
1538
1539
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1540
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1541
(Aaron Bentley)
1542
1543
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1544
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1545
(John Arbash Meinel)
1546
1547
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1548
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1549
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1550
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1551
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1552
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1555
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1556
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1557
1558
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1559
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1560
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1561
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1562
repository.
1563
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1564
1565
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1566
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1567
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1568
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1571
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1572
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1573
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1574
1575
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1576
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1577
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1578
1579
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1580
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1581
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1582
1583
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1584
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1585
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1586
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1587
1588
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1589
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1590
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1591
1592
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1593
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1594
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1595
1596
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1597
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1598
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1599
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1600
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1601
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1602
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1603
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1604
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1605
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1606
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1607
1608
BUGFIXES:
1609
1610
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1611
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1612
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1613
1614
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1615
(Aaron Bentley)
1616
1617
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1618
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1619
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1620
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1621
1622
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1623
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1624
#83954).
1625
1626
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1627
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1628
1629
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1630
1631
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1632
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1633
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1634
1635
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1636
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1637
1638
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1640
1641
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1642
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1643
1644
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1645
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1646
1647
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1648
1649
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1650
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1651
1652
TESTING:
1653
1654
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1655
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

====================
1660
1661
IMPROVEMENTS:
1662
1663
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1664
1665
BUG FIXES:
1666
1667
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1668
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1669
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1670
1671
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1672
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1673
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1674
1675
1676
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1677
=======================
1678
1679
IMPROVEMENTS:
1680
1681
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1682
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1683
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1684
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1685
1686
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1687
(Marius Kruger)
1688
1689
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1690
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1691
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1692
1693
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1694
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1695
1696
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1697
(Aaron Bentley)
1698
1699
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1700
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1701
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1702
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1703
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1704
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1705
1706
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1707
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1708
should enable you to do::
1709
1710
[/home/user/project]
1711
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1712
push_location:policy = appendpath
1713
1714
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1715
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1716
(James Henstridge)
1717
1718
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1719
for each file. For example::
1720
1721
$ bzr status --short
1722
A foo
1723
A bar
1724
D baz
1725
? wooley
1726
1727
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1728
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1729
1730
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1731
1732
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1733
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1734
1735
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1736
1737
INTERNALS:
1738
1739
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1740
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1741
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1742
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1743
1744
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1745
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1746
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1747
1748
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1749
1750
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1751
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1752
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1753
(Alexander Belchenko)
1754
1755
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1756
Pool)
1757
1758
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1759
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1760
1761
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1762
1763
BUG FIXES:
1764
1765
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1766
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1767
1768
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1769
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1770
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1771
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1772
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1773
1774
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1775
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1776
1777
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1778
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1779
1780
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1781
matcher.
1782
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1783
1784
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1785
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1786
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1787
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1788
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1789
1790
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1791
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1792
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1793
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1794
1795
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1796
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1797
1798
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1799
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1800
1801
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1802
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
1817
1818
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1819
tree from a branch.
1820
(Daniel Silverstone)
1821
1822
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1823
operations are substantially faster.
1824
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1825
1826
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1827
tree from some other url. For example:
1828
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1829
(Daniel Silverstone)
1830
1831
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1832
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1833
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1834
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1835
1836
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1837
(Andrew Bennetts)
1838
1839
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1840
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1841
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1842
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1843
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1844
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1845
1846
INTERNALS:
1847
1848
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1849
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1850
(Martin Pool)
1851
1852
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1853
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1854
(John Arbash Meinel)
1855
1856
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1857
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1858
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1859
(John Arbash Meinel)
1860
1861
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1862
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1863
1864
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1865
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1866
1867
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1868
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1869
Bennetts)
1870
1871
BUG FIXES:
1872
1873
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1874
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1875
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1876
1877
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1878
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1879
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1880
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1881
1882
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1883
1884
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1885
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1886
1887
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1888
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1889
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1890
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1891
1892
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1893
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1894
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1895
1896
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1897
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1898
them as full references rather than integers.
1899
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1900
1901
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1902
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1903
1904
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1905
1906
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1907
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1908
1909
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1910
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1911
1912
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1913
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1914
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1915
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1916
1917
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1918
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1919
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1920
1921
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1922
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1923
1924
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1925
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1926
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1927
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1928
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1929
1930
TESTING:
1931
1932
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1933
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

1945
=======================
1946
1947
IMPROVEMENTS:
1948
1949
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1950
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1951
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1952
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1953
1954
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1955
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1956
1957
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1958
1959
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1960
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1961
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1962
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1963
1964
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1965
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1966
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1967
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1968
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1969
1970
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1971
1972
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1973
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1974
1975
INTERNALS:
1976
1977
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1978
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1979
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1980
1981
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1982
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1983
(John Arbash Meinel)
1984
1985
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1986
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1987
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1988
1989
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1990
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1991
(Aaron Bentley)
1992
1993
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1994
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1995
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1996
1997
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1998
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1999
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2000
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2001
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2002
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2003
2004
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2005
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2006
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2007
(Robert Collins)
2008
2009
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2010
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2011
2012
BUG FIXES:
2013
2014
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2015
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2016
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2017
#63360, #66349)
2018
2019
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2020
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2021
2022
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2023
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2024
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2025
2026
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2027
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2028
2029
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2030
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2031
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2032
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2033
2034
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2035
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2036
2037
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2038
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2039
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2040
2041
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2042
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2043
2044
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2045
2046
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2047
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2048
#32054)
2049
2050
TESTING:
2051
2052
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2053
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2054
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2055
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2056
2057
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2058
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2059
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2060

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

2079
IMPROVEMENTS:
2080
2081
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2082
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2083
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2084
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2085
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2086
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2087
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2088
2089
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2090
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2091
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2092
2093
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2094
2095
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2096
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2097
2098
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2099
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2100
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2101
(Robert Collins)
2102
2103
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2104
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2105
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2106
(John Arbash Meinel)
2107
2108
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2109
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2110
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2111
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2112
Pool)
2113
2114
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2115
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2116
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2117
(John Arbash Meinel)
2118
2119
BUG FIXES:
2120
2121
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2122
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2123
2124
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2125
2126
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2127
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2128
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2129
2130
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2131
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2132
2133
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2134
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2135
2136
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2138
2139
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2140
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2141
2142
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2143
2144
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2145
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2146
2147
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2148
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2149
2150
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2151
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2152
2153
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2154
(John Arbash Meinel)
2155
2156
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2157
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2158
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2159
2160
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2161
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2162
2163
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2164
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2165
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2166
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2167
2168
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2169
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2170
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2171
2172
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2173
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2174
2175
PORTABILITY:
2176
2177
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2178
2179
INTERNALS:
2180
2181
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2182
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2183
(John Arbash Meinel)
2184
2185
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2186
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2187
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2188
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2189
2190
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2191
(Andrew Bennetts)
2192
2193
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2194
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2195
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2196
2197
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2198
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2199
2200
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2201
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2202
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2203
2204
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2205
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2206
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2207
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2208
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2209
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2210
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2211
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2212
caller to repeat their request.
2213
(John Arbash Meinel)
2214
2215
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2216
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2217
2218
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2219
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2220
2221
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2222
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2223
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2224
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2225
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2226
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2227
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2228
2229
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2230
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2231
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2232
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2233
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2234
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2235
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2236
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2237
(Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2240
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2241
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2242
2243
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2244
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2245
2246
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2247
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2250
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2251
2252
TESTING:
2253
2254
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2255
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2256
2257
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2258
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2259
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2260
2261
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2262
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2263
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

2268
IMPROVEMENTS:
2269
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2270
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2271
2272
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2273
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2274
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2275
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2276
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2277
2278
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2279
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2280
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2281
2282
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2283
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2284
2285
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2286
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2287
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2288
2289
BUG FIXES:
2290
2291
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2292
2293
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2294
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2295
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2296
2297
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2298
2299
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2300
2301
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2302
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2303
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2304
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2305
2306
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2307
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2308
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2309
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2310
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2311
2312
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2313
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2314
2315
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2316
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2317
2318
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2319
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2320
2321
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2322
in handling of revision properties.
2323
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2324
2325
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2326
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2327
2328
INTERNALS:
2329
2330
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2331
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2332
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2333
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2334
(John Arbash Meinel)
2335
2336
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2337
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2338
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2339
2340
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2341
=====================
2342
2343
SURPRISES:
2344
2345
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2346
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2347
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2348
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2349
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2350
a more conservative list than the old default.
2351
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2352
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2353
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2354
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2355
2356
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2357
to more locations than just branch locations.
2358
(Aaron Bentley)
2359
2360
IMPROVEMENTS:
2361
2362
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2363
revno:N:branch. For example,
2364
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2365
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2366
2367
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2368
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2369
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2370
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2371
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2372
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2373
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2374
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2375
#42517, #42514)
2376
2377
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2378
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2379
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2380
(Malone #3507)
2381
2382
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2383
(Alexander Belchenko)
2384
2385
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2386
2387
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2388
(Robert Collins).
2389
2390
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2391
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2392
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2393
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2394
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2395
(John Arbash Meinel)
2396
2397
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2398
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2399
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2400
grained analysis of performance.
2401
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2402
2403
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2404
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2405
2406
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2407
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2408
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2409
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2410
file. (Robert Collins).
2411
2412
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2413
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2414
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2415
2416
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2417
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2418
Matthieu Moy)
2419
2420
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2421
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2422
2423
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2424
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2425
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2426
the same way you would apply another branch.
2427
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2428
2429
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2430
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2431
2432
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2433
(Michael Ellerman)
2434
2435
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2436
(Aaron Bentley)
2437
2438
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2439
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2440
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2441
2442
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2443
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2444
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2445
2446
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2447
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2448
2449
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2450
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2451
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2452
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2453
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2454
2455
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2456
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2457
2458
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2459
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2460
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2461
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2462
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2463
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2464
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2465
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2466
2467
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2468
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2469
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2470
2471
BUG FIXES:
2472
2473
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2474
tests not to run.
2475
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2476
2477
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2478
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2479
2480
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2481
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2482
2483
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2484
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2485
2486
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2487
2488
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2489
(John Arbash Meinel)
2490
2491
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2492
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2493
2494
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2495
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2496
and y.
2497
2498
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2499
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2500
2501
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2502
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2503
2504
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2505
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2506
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2507
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2508
2509
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2510
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2511
2512
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2513
2514
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2515
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2516
2517
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2518
2519
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2520
2521
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2522
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2523
2524
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2525
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2526
2527
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2528
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2529
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2530
2531
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2532
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2533
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2534
2535
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2536
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2537
2538
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2539
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2540
2541
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2542
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2543
2544
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2545
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2546
2547
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2548
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2549
2550
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2551
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2552
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2553
2554
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2555
2556
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2557
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2558
2559
INTERNALS:
2560
2561
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2562
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2563
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2564
2565
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2566
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2567
2568
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2569
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2570
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2571
2572
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2573
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2574
2575
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2576
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2577
(Martin Pool)
2578
2579
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2580
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2581
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2582
2583
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2584
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2585
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2586
2587
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2588
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2589
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2590
2591
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2592
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2593
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2594
2595
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2596
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2597
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2598
2599
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2600
instead. (Robert Collins)
2601
2602
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2612
=====================
2613
2614
BUG FIXES:
2615
2616
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2617
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2618
2619
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2620
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2621
2622
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2623
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2624
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2625
2626
CHANGES:
2627
2628
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2629
2630
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2631
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2632
2633
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2634
2635
CHANGES:
2636
2637
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2638
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2639
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2640
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2641
2642
NEW FEATURES:
2643
2644
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2645
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2646
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2647
2648
INTERNALS:
2649
2650
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2651
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2652
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2653
2654
TESTING:
2655
2656
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2657
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2658
2659
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2660
===================
2661
2662
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2663
2664
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2665
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2666
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2667
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2668
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2669
will keep the same format.
2670
2671
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2672
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2673
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2674
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2675
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2676
2677
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2678
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2679
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2680
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2681
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2682
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2683
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2684
2685
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2686
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2687
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2688
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2689
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2690
2691
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2692
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2693
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2694
arrangement.
2695
2696
2697
IMPROVEMENTS:
2698
2699
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2700
convention. Paths now take the form::
2701
2702
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2703
or

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

==================
3209
3210
IMPROVEMENTS:
3211
3212
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3213
(John A Meinel)
3214
3215
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3216
conflicts.
3217
(Aaron Bentley)
3218
3219
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3220
a separator, not ':'.
3221
(Aaron Bentley)
3222
3223
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3224
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3225
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3226
3227
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3228
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3229
(Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3232
has been added that suppresses all output.
3233
3234
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3235
Adams.
3236
3237
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3238
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3239
3240
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3241
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3242
3243
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3244
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3245
3246
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3247
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3248
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3249
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3250
3251
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3252
3253
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3254
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3255
3256
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3257
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3258
3259
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3260
output directory, if one was supplied.
3261
3262
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3263
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3264
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3265
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3266
3267
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3268
3269
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3270
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3271
3272
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3273
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3274
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3275
3276
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3277
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3278
3279
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3280
(Aaron Bentley)
3281
3282
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3283
3284
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3285
3286
TESTING:
3287
3288
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3289
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3290
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3291
3292
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3293
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3294
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3295
3296
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3297
is given. (Martin Pool)
3298
3299
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3300
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3301
file. (Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3304
(Martin Pool)
3305
3306
INTERNALS:
3307
3308
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3309
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3310
representation. (Martin Pool).
3311
3312
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3313
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3314
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3315
3316
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3317
(Robert Collins)
3318
3319
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3320
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3321
Magnus Therning.
3322
3323
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3324
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3325
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3326
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3327
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3328
3329
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3330
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3331
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3332
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3333
python path. (Robert Collins)
3334
3335
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3336
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3337
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3338
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3339
3340
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3341
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3342
3343
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3344
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3345
(Robert Collins)
3346
3347
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3348
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3349
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3350
3351
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3352
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3353
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3354
3355
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3356
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3357
3358
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3359
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3360
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3361
(Robert Collins)
3362
3363
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3364
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3365
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3366
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3367
(Robert Collins)
3368
3369
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3370
(Robert Collins)
3371
3372
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3373
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3374
(Robert Collins)
3375
3376
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3377
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3378
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3379
3380
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3381
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3382
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3383
3384
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3385
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3386
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3387
3388
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3389
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3390
3391
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3392
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3393
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3394
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3395
caller. (Robert Collins)
3396
3397
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3398
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3399
(Robert Collins).
3400
3401
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3402
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3403
(Aaron Bentley)
3404
3405
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3406
3407
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3408
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3409
3410
BUG FIXES:
3411
3412
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3413
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3414
3415
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3416
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3417
3418
3419
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3420
====================
3421
3422
BUG FIXES:
3423
3424
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3425
allow directories to be listed.
3426
3427
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3428
upgrading branch format.
3429
3430
PERFORMANCE:
3431
3432
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3433
3434
3435
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3436
==================
3437
3438
NOTES:
3439
3440
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3441
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3442
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3443
high-latency connections.
3444
3445
BUG FIXES:
3446
3447
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3448
Rob Weir.
3449
3450
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3451
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3452
3453
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3454
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3455
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3456
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3457
3458
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3459
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3460
3461
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3462
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3463
3464
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3465
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3466
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3467
3468
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3469
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3470
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3471
Robert Collins
3472
3473
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3474
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3475
3476
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3477
different partial views of history.
3478
3479
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3480
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3481
3482
IMPROVEMENTS:
3483
3484
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3485
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3486
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3487
3488
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3489
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3490
'bzr upgrade'.
3491
3492
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3493
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3494
3495
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3496
Niemeyer.
3497
3498
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3499
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3500
3501
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3502
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3503
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3504
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3505
3506
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3507
3508
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3509
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3510
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3511
3512
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3513
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3514
3515
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3516
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3517
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3518
3519
3520
INTERNALS:
3521
3522
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3523
for your viewing pleasure.
3524
3525
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3526
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3527
3528
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3529
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3530
handling of such circumstances.
3531
3532
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3533
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3534
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3535
3536
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3537
3538
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3539
we call them revisions not patches.
3540
3541
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3542
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3543
3544
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3545
giving the revision *of that file*.
3546
3547
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3548
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3549
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3550
3551
TESTING:
3552
3553
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3554
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3555
3556
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3557
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3558
3559
3560
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3561
====================
3562
3563
BUG FIXES:
3564
3565
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3566
3567
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3568
(Robert Collins).
3569
3570
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3571
3572
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3573
3574
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3575
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3576
3577
IMPROVEMENTS:
3578
3579
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3580
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3581
3582
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3583
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3584
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3585
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3586
Robey Pointer
3587
3588
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3589
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3590
3591
INTERNALS:
3592
3593
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3594
3595
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3596
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3597
3598
3599
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3600
====================
3601
3602
IMPROVEMENTS:
3603
3604
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3605
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3606
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3607
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3608
Michael Ellerman.
3609
3610
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3611
(Nir Soffer)
3612
3613
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3614
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3615
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3616
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3617
for the operating system is still tried.
3618
3619
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3620
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3621
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3622
3623
3624
INTERNALS:
3625
3626
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3627
3628
BUG FIXES:
3629
3630
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3631
3632
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3633
branch.
3634
3635
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3636
read.
3637
3638
3639
PORTABILITY:
3640
3641
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3642
3643
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3644
3645
3646
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3647
====================
3648
3649
NEW FEATURES:
3650
3651
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3652
help with intelligent shell completion.
3653
3654
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3655
3656
3657
ENHANCEMENTS:
3658
3659
* Much better merge support.
3660
3661
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3662
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3663
like emacs smerge.
3664
3665
3666
BUG FIXES:
3667
3668
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3669
mention revisions that are not present.
3670
3671
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3672
3673
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3674
3675
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3676
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3677
3678
3679
CHANGES:
3680
3681
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3682
3683
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3684
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3685
--help themselves.
3686
3687
3688
LIBRARY:
3689
3690
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3691
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3692
libraries.

bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3697
====================
3698
3699
NEW FEATURES:
3700
3701
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3702
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3703
3704
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3705
3706
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3707
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3708
3709
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3710
FOO.
3711
3712
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3713
3714
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3715
the Unix command.
3716
3717
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3718
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3719
3720
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3721
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3722
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3723
3724
3725
ENHANCEMENTS:
3726
3727
* Faster working tree operations.
3728
3729
3730
CHANGES:
3731
3732
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3733
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3734
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3735
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3736
3737
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3738
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3739
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3740
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3741
standard plugins directory.
3742
3743
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3744
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3745
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3746
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3747
3748
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3749
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3750
3751
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3752
disk.
3753
3754
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3755
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3756
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3757
3758
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3759
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3760
3761
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3762
line options must come before the command name because they
3763
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3764
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3765
it.
3766
3767
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3768
3769
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3770
is available with ``--short``.
3771
3772
3773
BUG FIXES:
3774
3775
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3776
3777
3778
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3779
=====================
3780
3781
CHANGES:
3782
3783
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3784
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3785
3786
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3787
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3788
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3789
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3790
3791
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3792
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3793
with the ``--forward`` option.
3794
3795
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3796
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3797
field.
3798
3799
3800
ENHANCEMENTS:
3801
3802
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3803
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3804
3805
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3806
3807
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3808
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3809
3810
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3811
3812
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3813
either read or write mode.
3814
3815
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3816
3817
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3818
affected that file.
3819
3820
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3821
3822
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3823
suggested by LarstiQ.
3824
3825
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3826
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3827
3828
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3829
a filename.
3830
3831
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3832
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3833
3834
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3835
haven't changed since the previous time.
3836
3837
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3838
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3839
3840
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3841
3842
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3843
3844
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3845
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3846
3847
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3848
options through to an external GNU diff.
3849
3850
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3851
their contents.
3852
3853
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3854
from a branch.
3855
3856
3857
BUG FIXES:
3858
3859
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3860
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3861
3862
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3863
metacharacters.
3864
3865
3866
TESTING:
3867
3868
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3869
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3870
the tests.
3871
3872
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3873
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3874
3875
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3876
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3877
3878
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3879
under a different version.
3880
3881
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3882
3883
3884
INTERNAL:
3885
3886
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3887
3888
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3889
Scott James Remnant.
3890
3891
* Better help messages for many commands.
3892
3893
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3894
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3895
3896
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3897
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3898
3899
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3900
3901
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3902
3903
* New AtomicFile class.
3904
3905
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3906
3907
3908
PORTABILITY:
3909
3910
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3911
2.4 is now only recommended.
3912
3913
3914
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3915
=====================
3916
3917
ENHANCEMENTS:
3918
3919
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3920
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3921
3922
* More default ignore patterns.
3923
3924
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3925
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3926
3927
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3928
3929
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3930
by Jason Diamon.
3931
3932
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3933
3934
3935
CHANGES:
3936
3937
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3938
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3939
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3940
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3941
there are DNS problems.
3942
3943
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3944
3945
3946
BUG FIXES:
3947
3948
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3949
3950
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3951
3952
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3953
trailing newlines properly.
3954
3955
3956
INTERNAL:
3957
3958
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3959
Matt Brubeck.
3960
3961
* More tests in test.sh.
3962
3963
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3964
directory and delete it when done.
3965
3966
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3967
3968
3969
PORTABILITY:
3970
3971
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3972
Bennetts.
3973
3974
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3975
from QuantumG.

3984
in the tree.
3985

3987
3988
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3989
and/or directory.
3990
3991
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3992
directory.
3993
3994
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3995
3996
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3997
3998
CHANGES:
3999
4000
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4001
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4002
will do for now.)
4003
4004
PORTABILITY:
4005
4006
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4007
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4008
Nielsen.
4009
4010
INTERNAL:
4011
4012
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

4028
===================================
4029
4030
ENHANCEMENTS:
4031
4032
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4033
4034
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4035
rather than replacing it.
4036
4037
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4038
4039
* More help topics.
4040
4041
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4042
branch.
4043
4044
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4045
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4046
4047
* Performance improvements.
4048
4049
* New global --profile option.
4050
4051
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4052
the root directory only.

4076
installation easier.
4077
4078

4079
supported).
4080
