bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
26
======================
27
28
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
29
in bzrlib/remote.py.
30
31
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
32
======================
33
34
CHANGES:
35
36
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
37
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
38
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
39
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
40
(Martin Pool)
41
42
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
43
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
44
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
45
(Ian Clatworthy)
46
47
FEATURES:
48
49
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
50
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
51
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
52
(Lukáš Lalinský)
53
54
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
55
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
56
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
57
58
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
59
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
60
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
61
62
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
63
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
64
65
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
66
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
67
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
68
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
69
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
70
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
71
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
72
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
73
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
74
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
75
76
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
77
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
78
79
BUG FIXES:
80
81
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
82
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
83
84
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
85
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
86
87
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
88
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
89
90
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
91
(Aaron Bentley)
92
93
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
94
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
95
96
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
97
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
98
99
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
100
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
101
102
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
103
(Blake Winton, #129299)
104
105
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
106
107
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
108
Watkins, #106726)
109
110
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
111
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
112
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
113
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
114
115
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
116
117
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
118
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
119
#133548)
120
121
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
122
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
123
124
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
125
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
126
#116143)
127
128
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
129
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
130
131
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
132
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
133
134
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
135
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
136
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
137
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
138
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
139
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
140
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
141
142
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
143
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
144
145
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
146
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
147
148
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
149
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
150
151
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
153
154
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
155
connections.
156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
157
158
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
159
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
160
161
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
162
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
163
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
164
165
IMPROVEMENTS:
166
167
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
168
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
169
170
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
171
(Aaron Bentley)
172
173
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
174
(Aaron Bentley)
175
176
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
177
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
178
179
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
180
181
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
182
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
183
184
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
185
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
186
187
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
188
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
189
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
190
space). (Robert Collins)
191
192
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
193
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
194
(Ian Clatworthy)
195
196
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
197
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
198
199
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
200
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
201
202
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
203
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
204
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
205
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
206
207
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
208
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
209
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
210
(Lukáš Lalinský)
211
212
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
213
(Ian Clatworthy)
214
215
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
216
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
217
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
218
219
API BREAKS:
220
221
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
222
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
223
224
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
225
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
226
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
227
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
228
affected. (Robert Collins)
229
230
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
231
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
232
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
233
(Robert Collins)
234
235
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
236
previous release. (Martin Pool)
237
238
TESTING:
239
240
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
241
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
242
243
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
244
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
245
246
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
247
previous release. (Martin Pool)
248
249
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
250
(Aaron Bentley)
251
252
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
253
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
254
255
INTERNALS:
256
257
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
258
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
259
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
260
its version information. (Robert Collins)
261
262
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
263
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
264
265
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
266
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
267
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
268
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
269
270
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
271
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
272
present. (Robert Collins)
273
274
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
275
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
276
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
277
API. (Robert Collins)
278
279
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
280
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
281
(Robert Collins)
282
283
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
284
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
285
286
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
287
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
288
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
289
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
290
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
291
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
292
293
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
294
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
295
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
296
297
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
298
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
299
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
300
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
301
protocol.
302
303
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
304
(Aaron Bentley)
305
306
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
307
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
308
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
309
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
310
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
311
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
312
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
313
314
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
315
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
316
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
317
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
318
319
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
320
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
321
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
322
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
323
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
324
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
325
326
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
327
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
328
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
329
330
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
331
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
332
333
334
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
335
===================
336
337
IMPROVEMENTS:
338
339
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
340
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
341
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
342
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
343
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
344
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
345
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
346
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
347
348
349
API CHANGES:
350
351
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
352
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
353
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
354
355
356
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
357
======================
358
359
BUGFIXES:
360
361
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
362
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
363
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
364
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
365
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
366
367
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
369
370
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
371
anymore.
372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
373
374
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
375
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
376
(Vincent Ladeuil)
377
378
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
379
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
380
#111664)
381
382
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
383
(Lukáš Lalinský)
384
385
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
386
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
387
388
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
389
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
390
391
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
392
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
393
394
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
395
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
396
397
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
398
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
399
400
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
401
(Aaron Bentley)
402
403
IMPROVEMENTS:
404
405
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
406
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
407
408
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
409
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
410
411
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
412
the repository (Robert Collins)
413
414
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
415
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
416
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
417
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
418
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
419
420
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
421
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
422
423
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
424
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
425
(John Arbash Meinel)
426
427
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
428
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
429
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
430
about 10%).
431
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
432
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
433
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
434
(John Arbash Meinel)
435
436
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
437
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
438
(Robert Collins)
439
440
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
441
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
442
443
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
444
(Ian Clatworthy)
445
446
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
447
448
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
449
450
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
451
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
452
453
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
454
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
455
Meinel)
456
457
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
458
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
459
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
460
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
461
462
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
463
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
464
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
465
466
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
467
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
468
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
469
470
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
471
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
472
473
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
474
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
475
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
476
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
477
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
478
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
479
(Ian Clatworthy)
480
481
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
482
(Alexander Belchenko)
483
484
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
485
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
486
487
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
488
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
489
490
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
491
492
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
493
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
494
495
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
496
497
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
498
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
499
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
500
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
501
502
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
503
504
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
505
(Robert Collins)
506
507
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
508
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
509
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
510
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
511
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
512
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
513
514
INTERNALS:
515
516
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
517
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
518
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
519
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
520
521
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
522
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
523
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
524
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
525
tests have been refactored too.
526
(Vincent Ladeuil)
527
528
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
529
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
530
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
531
list, it will.
532
(Vincent Ladeuil)
533
534
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
535
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
536
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
537
538
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
539
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
540
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
541
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
542
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
543
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
544
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
545
546
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
547
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
548
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
549
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
550
(John Arbash Meinel)
551
552
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
553
functionality for testing.
554
555
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
556
557
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
558
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
559
560
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
561
562
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
563
(Robert Collins)
564
565
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
566
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
567
568
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
569
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
570
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
571
572
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
573
(Aaron Bentley)
574
575
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
576
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
577
578
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
579
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
580
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
581
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
582
583
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
584
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
585
586
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
587
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
588
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
589
590
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
591
(Marius Kruger)
592
593
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
594
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
595
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
596
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
597
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
598
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
599
600
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
601
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
602
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
603
many files. (Robert Collins)
604
605
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
606
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
607
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
608
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
609
610
TESTING:
611
612
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
613
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
614
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
615
616
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
617
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
618
619
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
620
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
621
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

635
BUGFIXES:
636
637
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
638
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
639
640
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
641
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
642
(James Westby, #122656)
643
644
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
645
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
646
647
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
648
authentication header.
649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
650
651
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
652
653
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
654
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
655
656
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
657
658
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
660
661
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
662
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
663
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
664
665
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
666
individually and as part of revision ranges.
667
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
668
669
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
670
(Martin Pool, #109169)
671
672
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
674
675
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
676
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
677
678
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
679
680
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
681
682
IMPROVEMENTS:
683
684
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
685
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
686
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
687
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
688
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
689
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
690
691
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
692
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
693
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
694
695
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
696
(Elliot Murphy)
697
698
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
699
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
700
701
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
702
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
703
704
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
705
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
706
707
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
708
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
709
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
710
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
711
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
712
713
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
714
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
715
716
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
717
can be slow it is useful feedback).
718
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
719
720
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
721
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
722
723
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
724
725
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
726
output. (Aaron Bentley)
727
728
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
729
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
730
(Robert Collins)
731
732
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
733
(Martin Pool)
734
735
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
736
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
737
738
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
739
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
740
741
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
742
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
743
744
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
745
746
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
747
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
748
749
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
750
(Andrew Bennetts)
751
752
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
753
754
* Testing cleanups -
755
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
756
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
757
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
758
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
759
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
760
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
761
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
762
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
763
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
764
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
765
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
766
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
767
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
768
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
769
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
770
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
771
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
772
(Robert Collins)
773
774
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
775
776
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
777
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
778
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
779
780
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
781
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
782
783
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
784
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
785
786
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
787
788
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
789
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
790
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
791
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
792
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
793
same location. (Robert Collins)
794
795
INTERNALS:
796
797
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
798
799
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
800
801
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
802
803
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
804
(Martin Pool)
805
806
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
807
(Martin Pool)
808
809
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
810
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
811
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
812
813
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
814
815
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
816
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
817
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
818
819
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
820
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
821
822
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
823
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
824
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
825
826
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
827
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
828
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
829
830
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
831
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
832
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
833
834
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
835
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
836
Martin Pool)
837
838
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
839
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
840
841
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
842
(Alexander Belchenko)
843
844
TESTING:
845
846
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
847
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
848
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
849
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
850
851
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
852
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
853
testing. (Robert Collins)
854
855
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
856
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
857
858
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
859
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
860
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
861
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
862
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
863
attribute during the test parameterisation in
864
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
865
866
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
867
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
868
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
869
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
870
871
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
872
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
873
874
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
875
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
895
896
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
897
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
898
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
899
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
900
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
901
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
902
and unlock() like so::

INTERNALS:
911
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
912
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
913
object.
914
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
915
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
916
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
917
918
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
919
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
920
too. (Robert Collins)
921
922
IMPROVEMENTS:
923
924
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
925
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
926
Aaron Bentley)
927
928
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
929
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
930
931
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
932
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
933
934
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
935
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
936
understanding what changes have occurred
937
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
938
939
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
940
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
941
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
942
943
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
944
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
945
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
946
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
947
948
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
949
#56322)
950
951
BUGFIXES:
952
953
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
954
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
955
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
956
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
957
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
958
959
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
960
based on split paths, not just string paths.
961
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
962
963
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
965
966
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
967
into account.
968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
969
970
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
971
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
972
973
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
974
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
975
976
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
977
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
978
979
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
980
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
981
982
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
983
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
984
985
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
986
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
987
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

====================
991
992
BUGFIXES:
993
994
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
995
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
996
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
997
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
998
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
999
1000
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1001
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1002
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1003
1004
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1005
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1006
1007
IMPROVEMENTS:
1008
1009
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1010
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1011
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1012
1013
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1014
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1015
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1016
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

=======================
1020
1021
BUGFIXES:
1022
1023
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1024
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1025
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1026
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1027
1028
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1029
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1030
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1031
1032
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1033
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1034
1035
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1036
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1037
1038
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1039
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1042
=======================
1043
1044
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1045
1046
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1047
it could be recovered again.
1048
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1049
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1050
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1051
but not delete it.
1052
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1053
files.
1054
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1055
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1056
1057
IMPROVEMENTS:
1058
1059
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1060
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1061
1062
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1063
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1064
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1065
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1066
1067
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1068
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1069
1070
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1071
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1072
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1073
1074
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1075
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1076
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1077
1078
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1079
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1080
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1081
1082
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1083
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1084
Robert Collins)
1085
1086
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1087
Pool)
1088
1089
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1090
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1091
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1092
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1093
1094
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1095
(Robert Collins)
1096
1097
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1098
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1099
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1100
(Robert Collins)
1101
1102
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1103
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1104
1105
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1106
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1107
1108
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1109
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1110
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1111
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1112
(Robert Collins)
1113
1114
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1115
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1116
1117
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1118
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1119
1120
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1121
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1122
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1123
1124
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1125
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1126
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1127
1128
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1129
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1130
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1131
1132
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1133
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1134
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1135
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1136
1137
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1138
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1139
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1140
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1141
1142
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1143
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1144
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1145
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1146
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1147
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1148
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1149
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1150
header(s).
1151
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1152
1153
INTERNALS:
1154
1155
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1156
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1157
1158
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1159
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1160
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1161
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1162
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1163
1164
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1165
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1166
1167
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1168
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1169
1170
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1171
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1172
1173
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1174
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1175
1176
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1177
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1178
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1179
(Robert Collins).
1180
1181
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1182
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1183
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1184
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1185
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1186
(Robert Collins)
1187
1188
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1189
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1190
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1191
1192
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1193
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1194
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1195
1196
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1197
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1198
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1199
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1200
1201
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1202
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1203
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1204
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1205
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1206
1207
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1208
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1209
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1210
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1211
1212
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1213
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1214
1215
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1216
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1217
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1218
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1219
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1220
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1221
1222
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1223
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1224
1225
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1226
help. (Robert Collins)
1227
1228
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1229
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1230
1231
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1232
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1233
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1234
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1235
(John Arbash Meinel)
1236
1237
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1238
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1239
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1240
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1241
useful. (Robert Collins)
1242
1243
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1244
(Andrew Bennetts)
1245
1246
BUGFIXES:
1247
1248
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1249
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1250
1251
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1252
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1253
1254
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1255
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1256
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1257
1258
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1259
(Aaron Bentley)
1260
1261
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1262
the file, and does it faster.
1263
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1264
1265
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1266
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1267
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1268
1269
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1270
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1271
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1272
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1273
1274
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1275
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1276
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1277
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1278
1279
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1280
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1281
1282
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1283
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1284
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1285
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1286
Arbash Meinel)
1287
1288
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1289
1290
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1291
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1292
1293
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1294
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1295
1296
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1297
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1298
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1299
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1300
security hole.
1301
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1302
1303
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1305
1306
TESTING:
1307
1308
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1309
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1310
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1311
1312
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1313
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1314
1315
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1316
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1317
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1318
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1319
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1320
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1321
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1322
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1323
1324
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1325
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1326
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1327
1328
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1329
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1330
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1331
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1332
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1333
access.
1334
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1335
1336
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1337
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1338
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1339
1340
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1341
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1351
1352
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1353
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

=======================
1358
1359
CHANGES:
1360
1361
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1362
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1363
(Martin Pool)
1364
1365
IMPROVEMENTS:
1366
1367
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1368
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1369
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1370
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1371
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1372
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1373
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1374
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1375
path. (vila)
1376
1377
INTERNALS:
1378
1379
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1380
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1381
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1382
1383
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1384
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1385
(Martin Pool)
1386
1387
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1388
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1389
(John Arbash Meinel)
1390
1391
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1392
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1393
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1394
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1395
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1396
1397
BUGFIXES:
1398
1399
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1400
(vila, #92195)
1401
1402
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1403
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1404
1405
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1406
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1407
1408
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1409
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1410
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1411
1412
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1413
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1414
1415
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1416
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1417
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1418
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1419
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1420
1421
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1422
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1423
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1424
1425
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1426
(vila, #88780)

1428
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1429
=======================
1430
1431
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1432
1433
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1434
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1435
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1436
1437
IMPROVEMENTS:
1438
1439
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1440
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1441
1442
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1443
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1444
1445
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1446
1447
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1448
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1449
1450
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1451
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1452
1453
INTERNALS:
1454
1455
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1456
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1457
1458
BUGFIXES:
1459
1460
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1461
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1462
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1463
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1464
1465
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1466
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1467
1468
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1469
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1470
1471
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1472
(Marien Zwart)
1473
1474
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1475
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

1478
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1479
=======================
1480
1481
SURPRISES:
1482
1483
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1484
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1485
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1486
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1487
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1488
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1489
1490
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1491
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1492
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1493
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1494
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1495
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1496
development.
1497
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1498
1499
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1500
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1501
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1502
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1503
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1504
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1505
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1506
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1507
1508
IMPROVEMENTS:
1509
1510
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1511
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1512
1513
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1514
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1515
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1516
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1517
does exist.
1518
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1519
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1520
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1521
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1522
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1523
1524
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1525
(Aaron Bentley)
1526
1527
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1528
(Aaron Bentley)
1529
1530
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1531
(Robert Collins)
1532
1533
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1534
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1535
(Aaron Bentley)
1536
1537
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1538
(Aaron Bentley)
1539
1540
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1541
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1542
1543
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1544
directory. (Martin Pool)
1545
1546
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1547
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1548
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1549
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1550
1551
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1552
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1553
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1554
in docs/configuration.txt.
1555
1556
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1557
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1558
bind location.
1559
1560
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1561
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1562
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1563
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1564
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1565
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1566
1567
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1568
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1569
1570
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1571
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1572
1573
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1574
(Aaron Bentley)
1575
1576
INTERNALS:
1577
1578
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1579
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1580
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1581
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1582
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1583
(John Arbash Meinel)
1584
1585
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1586
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1587
(Aaron Bentley)
1588
1589
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1590
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1591
(John Arbash Meinel)
1592
1593
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1594
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1595
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1596
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1597
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1598
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1599
1600
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1601
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1602
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1603
1604
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1605
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1606
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1607
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1608
repository.
1609
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1610
1611
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1612
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1613
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1614
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1615
1616
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1617
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1618
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1619
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1620
1621
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1622
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1623
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1624
1625
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1626
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1627
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1628
1629
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1630
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1631
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1632
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1633
1634
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1635
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1636
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1637
1638
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1639
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1640
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1641
1642
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1643
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1644
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1645
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1646
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1647
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1648
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1649
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1650
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1651
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1652
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1653
1654
BUGFIXES:
1655
1656
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1657
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1658
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1659
1660
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1661
(Aaron Bentley)
1662
1663
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1664
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1665
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1666
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1667
1668
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1669
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1670
#83954).
1671
1672
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1673
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1674
1675
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1676
1677
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1678
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1679
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1680
1681
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1682
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1683
1684
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1686
1687
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1688
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1689
1690
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1691
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1692
1693
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1694
1695
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1696
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1697
1698
TESTING:
1699
1700
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1701
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

1704
bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
1705
====================
1706
1707
IMPROVEMENTS:
1708
1709
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1710
1711
BUG FIXES:
1712
1713
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1714
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1715
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1716
1717
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1718
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1719
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1720
1721
1722
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1723
=======================
1724
1725
IMPROVEMENTS:
1726
1727
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1728
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1729
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1730
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1731
1732
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1733
(Marius Kruger)
1734
1735
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1736
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1737
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1738
1739
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1740
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1741
1742
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1743
(Aaron Bentley)
1744
1745
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1746
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1747
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1748
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1749
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1750
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1751
1752
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1753
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1754
should enable you to do::
1755
1756
[/home/user/project]
1757
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1758
push_location:policy = appendpath
1759
1760
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1761
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1762
(James Henstridge)
1763
1764
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1765
for each file. For example::
1766
1767
$ bzr status --short
1768
A foo
1769
A bar
1770
D baz
1771
? wooley
1772
1773
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1774
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1775
1776
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1777
1778
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1779
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1780
1781
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1782
1783
INTERNALS:
1784
1785
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1786
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1787
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1788
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1789
1790
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1791
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1792
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1793
1794
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1795
1796
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1797
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1798
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1799
(Alexander Belchenko)
1800
1801
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1802
Pool)
1803
1804
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1805
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1806
1807
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1808
1809
BUG FIXES:
1810
1811
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1812
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1813
1814
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1815
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1816
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1817
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1818
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1819
1820
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1821
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1822
1823
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1824
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1825
1826
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1827
matcher.
1828
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1829
1830
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1831
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1832
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1833
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1834
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1835
1836
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1837
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1838
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1839
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1840
1841
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1842
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1843
1844
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1845
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1846
1847
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1848
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1849
1850
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

1859
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1860
=======================
1861
1862
IMPROVEMENTS:
1863
1864
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1865
tree from a branch.
1866
(Daniel Silverstone)
1867
1868
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1869
operations are substantially faster.
1870
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1871
1872
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1873
tree from some other url. For example:
1874
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1875
(Daniel Silverstone)
1876
1877
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1878
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1879
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1880
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1881
1882
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1883
(Andrew Bennetts)
1884
1885
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1886
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1887
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1888
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1889
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1890
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1891
1892
INTERNALS:
1893
1894
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1895
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1896
(Martin Pool)
1897
1898
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1899
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1900
(John Arbash Meinel)
1901
1902
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1903
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1904
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1905
(John Arbash Meinel)
1906
1907
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1908
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1909
1910
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1911
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1912
1913
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1914
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1915
Bennetts)
1916
1917
BUG FIXES:
1918
1919
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1920
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1921
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1922
1923
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1924
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1925
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1926
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1927
1928
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1929
1930
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1931
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1932
1933
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1934
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1935
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1937
1938
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1939
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1940
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1941
1942
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1943
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1944
them as full references rather than integers.
1945
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1946
1947
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1948
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1949
1950
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1951
1952
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1953
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1954
1955
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1956
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1957
1958
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1959
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1960
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1961
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1962
1963
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1964
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1965
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1966
1967
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1968
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1969
1970
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1971
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1972
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1973
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1974
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1975
1976
TESTING:
1977
1978
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1979
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1980

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1982
====================
1983
1984
INTERNALS:
1985
1986
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1987
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1988
(John Arbash Meinel)
1989
1990
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1991
=======================
1992
1993
IMPROVEMENTS:
1994
1995
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1996
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1997
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1998
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1999
2000
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2001
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2002
2003
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2004
2005
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2006
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2007
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2008
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2009
2010
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2011
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2012
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2013
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2014
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2015
2016
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2017
2018
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2019
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2020
2021
INTERNALS:
2022
2023
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2024
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2025
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2026
2027
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2028
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2029
(John Arbash Meinel)
2030
2031
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2032
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2033
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2034
2035
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2036
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2037
(Aaron Bentley)
2038
2039
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2040
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2041
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2042
2043
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2044
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2045
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2046
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2047
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2048
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2049
2050
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2051
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2052
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2053
(Robert Collins)
2054
2055
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2056
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2057
2058
BUG FIXES:
2059
2060
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2061
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2062
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2063
#63360, #66349)
2064
2065
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2066
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2067
2068
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2069
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2070
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2071
2072
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2073
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2074
2075
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2076
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2077
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2078
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2079
2080
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2081
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2082
2083
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2084
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2085
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2086
2087
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2088
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2089
2090
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2091
2092
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2093
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2094
#32054)
2095
2096
TESTING:
2097
2098
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2099
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2100
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2101
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2102
2103
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2104
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2105
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2106
2107
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

====================
2109
2110
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).

2112
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2113
=======================
2114
2115
BUG FIXES:
2116
2117
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2118
2119
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2120
Arbash Meinel).
2121
2122
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2123
=======================
2124
2125
IMPROVEMENTS:
2126
2127
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2128
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2129
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2130
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2131
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2132
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2133
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2134
2135
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2136
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2137
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2138
2139
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2140
2141
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2142
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2143
2144
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2145
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2146
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2147
(Robert Collins)
2148
2149
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2150
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2151
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2152
(John Arbash Meinel)
2153
2154
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2155
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2156
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2157
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2158
Pool)
2159
2160
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2161
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2162
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2163
(John Arbash Meinel)
2164
2165
BUG FIXES:
2166
2167
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2168
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2169
2170
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2171
2172
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2173
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2174
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2175
2176
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2177
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2178
2179
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2180
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2181
2182
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2183
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2184
2185
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2186
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2187
2188
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2189
2190
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2191
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2192
2193
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2194
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2195
2196
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2197
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2198
2199
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2200
(John Arbash Meinel)
2201
2202
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2203
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2204
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2205
2206
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2207
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2208
2209
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2210
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2211
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2212
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2213
2214
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2215
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2216
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2217
2218
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2219
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2220
2221
PORTABILITY:
2222
2223
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2224
2225
INTERNALS:
2226
2227
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2228
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2229
(John Arbash Meinel)
2230
2231
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2232
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2233
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2234
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2235
2236
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2237
(Andrew Bennetts)
2238
2239
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2240
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2241
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2242
2243
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2244
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2245
2246
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2247
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2248
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2249
2250
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2251
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2252
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2253
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2254
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2255
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2256
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2257
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2258
caller to repeat their request.
2259

2261
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2262
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2263
2264
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2265
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2268
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2269
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2270
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2271
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2272
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2273
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2274
2275
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2276
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2277
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2278
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2279
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2280
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2281
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2282
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2283
(Robert Collins)
2284
2285
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2286
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2287
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2288
2289
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2290
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2291
2292
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2293
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2294
2295
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2296
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2297
2298
TESTING:
2299
2300
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2301
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2302
2303
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2304
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2305
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2306
2307
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2308
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2309
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2310
2311
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2312
====================
2313
2314
IMPROVEMENTS:
2315
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2316
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2317
2318
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2319
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2320
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2321
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2322
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2323
2324
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2325
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2326
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2327
2328
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2329
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2330
2331
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2332
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2333
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2334
2335
BUG FIXES:
2336
2337
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2338
2339
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2340
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2341
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2342
2343
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2344
2345
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2346
2347
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2348
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2349
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2350
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2351
2352
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2353
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2354
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2355
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2356
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2357
2358
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2359
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2360
2361
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2362
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2363
2364
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2365
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2366
2367
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2368
in handling of revision properties.
2369
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2370
2371
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2372
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2373
2374
INTERNALS:
2375
2376
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2377
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2378
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2379
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2380
(John Arbash Meinel)
2381
2382
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2383
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2384
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2385
2386
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2387
=====================
2388
2389
SURPRISES:
2390
2391
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2392
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2393
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2394
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2395
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2396
a more conservative list than the old default.
2397
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2398
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2399
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2400
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2401
2402
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2403
to more locations than just branch locations.
2404
(Aaron Bentley)
2405
2406
IMPROVEMENTS:
2407
2408
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2409
revno:N:branch. For example,
2410
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2411
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2412
2413
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2414
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2415
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2416
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2417
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2418
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2419
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2420
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2421
#42517, #42514)
2422
2423
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2424
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2425
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2426
(Malone #3507)
2427
2428
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2429
(Alexander Belchenko)
2430
2431
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2432
2433
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2434
(Robert Collins).
2435
2436
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2437
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2438
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2439
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2440
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2441
(John Arbash Meinel)
2442
2443
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2444
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2445
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2446
grained analysis of performance.
2447
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2448
2449
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2450
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2451
2452
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2453
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2454
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2455
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2456
file. (Robert Collins).
2457
2458
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2459
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2460
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2461
2462
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2463
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2464
Matthieu Moy)
2465
2466
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2467
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2468
2469
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2470
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2471
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2472
the same way you would apply another branch.
2473
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2474
2475
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2476
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2477
2478
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2479
(Michael Ellerman)
2480
2481
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2482
(Aaron Bentley)
2483
2484
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2485
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2486
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2487
2488
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2489
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2490
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2491
2492
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2493
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2494
2495
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2496
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2497
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2498
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2499
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2500
2501
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2502
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2503
2504
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2505
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2506
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2507
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2508
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2509
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2510
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2511
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2512
2513
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2514
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2515
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2516
2517
BUG FIXES:
2518
2519
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2520
tests not to run.
2521
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2522
2523
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2524
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2525
2526
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2527
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2528
2529
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2530
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2531
2532
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2533
2534
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2535
(John Arbash Meinel)
2536
2537
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2538
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2539
2540
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2541
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2542
and y.
2543
2544
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2545
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2546
2547
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2548
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2549
2550
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2551
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2552
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2553
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2554
2555
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2556
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2557
2558
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2559
2560
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2561
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2562
2563
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2564
2565
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2566
2567
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2568
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2569
2570
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2571
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2572
2573
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2574
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2575
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2576
2577
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2578
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2579
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2580
2581
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2582
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2583
2584
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2585
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2586
2587
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2588
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2589
2590
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2591
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2592
2593
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2594
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2595
2596
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2597
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2598
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2599
2600
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2601
2602
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2603
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2604
2605
INTERNALS:
2606
2607
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2608
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2609
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2610
2611
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2612
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2613
2614
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2615
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2616
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2617
2618
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2619
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2620
2621
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2622
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2623
(Martin Pool)
2624
2625
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2626
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2627
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2628
2629
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2630
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2631
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2632
2633
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2634
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2635
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2636
2637
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2638
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2639
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2640
2641
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2642
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2643
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2644
2645
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2646
instead. (Robert Collins)
2647
2648
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2649
2650
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2651
=====================
2652
2653
BUG FIXES:
2654
2655
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2656
2657
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2658
=====================
2659
2660
BUG FIXES:
2661
2662
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2663
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2664
2665
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2666
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2667
2668
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2669
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2670
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2671
2672
CHANGES:
2673
2674
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2675
2676
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2677
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2678

* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2680
2681
CHANGES:
2682
2683
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2684
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2685
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2686
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2687
2688
NEW FEATURES:
2689
2690
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2691
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2692
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2693
2694
INTERNALS:
2695
2696
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2697
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2698
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2699
2700
TESTING:
2701
2702
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2703

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

3159
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3160
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3161
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3162
3163
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3164
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3165
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3166
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3167
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3168
(Robert Collins).
3169
3170
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3171
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3172
(Robert Collins).
3173
3174
INTERNALS:
3175
3176
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3177
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3178
3179
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3180
function. (Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3183
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3184
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3185
3186
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3187
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3188
(Robert Collins)
3189
3190
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3191
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3192
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3193
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3194
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3195
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3196
version. (Robert Collins)
3197
3198
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3199
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3200
3201
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3202
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3203
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3204
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3205
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3206
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3207
3208
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3209
(Robert Collins)
3210
3211
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3212
3213
add()
3214
commit()
3215
move()
3216
rename_one()
3217
unknowns()
3218
3219
(Robert Collins)
3220
3221
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3222
3223
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3224
3225
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3226
Pool)
3227
3228
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3229
query method. (Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3232
(Denys Duchier)
3233
3234
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3235
(Michael Ellerman)
3236
3237
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3238
(Michael Ellerman)
3239
3240
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3241
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3242
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3243
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3244
3245
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3246
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3247
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3248
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3249
3250
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3251
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

==================
3255
3256
IMPROVEMENTS:
3257
3258
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3259
(John A Meinel)
3260
3261
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3262
conflicts.
3263
(Aaron Bentley)
3264
3265
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3266
a separator, not ':'.
3267
(Aaron Bentley)
3268
3269
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3270
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3271
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3272
3273
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3274
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3275
(Robert Collins)
3276
3277
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3278
has been added that suppresses all output.
3279
3280
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3281
Adams.
3282
3283
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3284
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3285
3286
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3287
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3288
3289
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3290
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3291
3292
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3293
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3294
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3295
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3296
3297
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3298
3299
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3300
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3301
3302
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3303
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3304
3305
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3306
output directory, if one was supplied.
3307
3308
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3309
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3310
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3311
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3312
3313
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3314
3315
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3316
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3317
3318
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3319
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3320
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3321
3322
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3323
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3324
3325
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3326
(Aaron Bentley)
3327
3328
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3329
3330
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3331
3332
TESTING:
3333
3334
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3335
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3336
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3337
3338
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3339
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3340
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3341
3342
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3343
is given. (Martin Pool)
3344
3345
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3346
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3347
file. (Robert Collins)
3348
3349
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3350
(Martin Pool)
3351
3352
INTERNALS:
3353
3354
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3355
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3356
representation. (Martin Pool).
3357
3358
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3359
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3360
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3361
3362
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3363
(Robert Collins)
3364
3365
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3366
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3367
Magnus Therning.
3368
3369
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3370
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3371
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3372
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3373
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3374
3375
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3376
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3377
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3378
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3379
python path. (Robert Collins)
3380
3381
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3382
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3383
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3384
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3385
3386
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3387
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3388
3389
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3390
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3391
(Robert Collins)
3392
3393
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3394
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3395
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3396
3397
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3398
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3399
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3400
3401
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3402
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3403
3404
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3405
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3406
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3407
(Robert Collins)
3408
3409
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3410
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3411
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3412
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3413
(Robert Collins)
3414
3415
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3416
(Robert Collins)
3417
3418
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3419
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3420
(Robert Collins)
3421
3422
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3423
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3424
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3425
3426
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3427
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3428
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3429
3430
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3431
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3432
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3433
3434
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3435
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3436
3437
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3438
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3439
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3440
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3441
caller. (Robert Collins)
3442
3443
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3444
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3445
(Robert Collins).
3446
3447
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3448
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3449
(Aaron Bentley)
3450
3451
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3452
3453
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3454
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3455
3456
BUG FIXES:
3457
3458
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3459
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3460
3461
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3462
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3465
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3466
====================
3467
3468
BUG FIXES:
3469
3470
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3471
allow directories to be listed.
3472
3473
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3474
upgrading branch format.
3475
3476
PERFORMANCE:
3477
3478
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

3481
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3482
==================
3483
3484
NOTES:
3485
3486
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3487
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3488
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3489
high-latency connections.
3490
3491
BUG FIXES:
3492
3493
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3494
Rob Weir.
3495
3496
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3497
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3498
3499
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3500
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3501
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3502
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3503
3504
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3505
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3506
3507
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3508
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3509
3510
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3511
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3512
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3513
3514
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3515
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3516
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3517
Robert Collins
3518
3519
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3520
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3521
3522
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3523
different partial views of history.
3524
3525
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3526
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3527
3528
IMPROVEMENTS:
3529
3530
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3531
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3532
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3533
3534
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3535
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3536
'bzr upgrade'.
3537
3538
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3539
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3540
3541
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3542
Niemeyer.
3543
3544
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3545
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3546
3547
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3548
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3549
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3550
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3551
3552
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3553
3554
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3555
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3556
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3557
3558
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3559
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3560
3561
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3562
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3563
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3564
3565
3566
INTERNALS:
3567
3568
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3569
for your viewing pleasure.
3570
3571
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3572
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3573
3574
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3575
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3576
handling of such circumstances.
3577
3578
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3579
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3580
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3581
3582
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3583
3584
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3585
we call them revisions not patches.
3586
3587
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3588
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3589
3590
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3591
giving the revision *of that file*.
3592
3593
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3594
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3595
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3596
3597
TESTING:
3598
3599
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3600
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3601
3602
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3603
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3607
====================
3608
3609
BUG FIXES:
3610
3611
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3612
3613
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3614
(Robert Collins).
3615
3616
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3617
3618
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3619
3620
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3621
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3622
3623
IMPROVEMENTS:
3624
3625
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3626
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3627
3628
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3629
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3630
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3631
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3632
Robey Pointer
3633
3634
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3635
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3636
3637
INTERNALS:
3638
3639
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3640
3641
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3642
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3643
3644
3645
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3646
====================
3647
3648
IMPROVEMENTS:
3649
3650
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3651
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3652
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3653
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3654
Michael Ellerman.
3655
3656
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3657
(Nir Soffer)
3658
3659
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3660
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3661
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3662
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3663
for the operating system is still tried.
3664
3665
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3666
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3667
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3668
3669
3670
INTERNALS:
3671
3672
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3673
3674
BUG FIXES:
3675
3676
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3677
3678
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3679
branch.
3680
3681
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3682
read.
3683
3684
3685
PORTABILITY:
3686
3687
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3693
====================
3694
3695
NEW FEATURES:
3696
3697

3701
3702
3703
ENHANCEMENTS:
3704
3705
* Much better merge support.
3706
3707
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3708
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3709
like emacs smerge.
3710
3711
3712
BUG FIXES:
3713
3714
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3715
mention revisions that are not present.
3716
3717
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3718
3719
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3720
3721
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3722
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3723
3724
3725
CHANGES:
3726
3727
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3728
3729
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3730
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3731
--help themselves.
3732
3733
3734
LIBRARY:
3735
3736
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3737
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3738
libraries.

19

the Unix command.
20
3762
3763
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3764
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3765
3766
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3767
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3768
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)

CHANGES:

3777
3778
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3779
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3780
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3781
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3782
3783
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3784
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3785
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3786
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3787
standard plugins directory.
3788
27
3789
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
28
3790
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
29
3791
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
49
3811
it.
50
3812
51
3813
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3814
3815
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3816
is available with ``--short``.
