16
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
17
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
19
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
22
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
23
the contents. (Robert Collins)
29
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
30
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
31
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
33
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
34
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
35
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
36
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
37
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
39
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
40
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
42
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
46
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
47
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
48
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
50
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
51
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
52
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
57
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
58
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
63
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
64
======================
66
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
69
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
70
======================
74
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
75
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
76
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
77
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
80
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
81
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
82
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
87
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
88
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
89
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
92
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
93
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
94
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
96
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
97
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
98
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
100
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
101
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
103
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
104
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
105
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
106
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
107
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
108
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
109
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
110
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
111
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
112
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
114
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
115
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
119
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
120
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
122
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
123
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
124
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
126
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
127
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
129
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
130
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
132
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
135
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
136
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
138
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
139
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
141
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
142
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
144
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
145
(Blake Winton, #129299)
147
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
149
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
152
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
153
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
154
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
155
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
157
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
159
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
160
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
163
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
164
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
166
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
167
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
170
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
171
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
173
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
174
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
176
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
177
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
178
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
179
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
180
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
181
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
182
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
184
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
185
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
187
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
188
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
190
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
191
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
193
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
194
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
196
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
198
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
200
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
201
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
203
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
204
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
205
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
209
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
210
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
212
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
215
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
218
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
219
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
221
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
223
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
224
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
226
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
227
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
229
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
230
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
231
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
232
space). (Robert Collins)
234
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
235
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
238
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
239
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
241
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
242
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
244
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
245
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
246
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
247
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
249
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
250
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
251
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
254
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
257
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
258
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
259
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
263
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
264
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
266
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
267
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
268
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
269
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
270
affected. (Robert Collins)
272
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
273
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
274
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
277
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
278
previous release. (Martin Pool)
282
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
283
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
285
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
286
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
288
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
289
previous release. (Martin Pool)
291
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
294
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
295
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
299
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
300
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
301
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
302
its version information. (Robert Collins)
304
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
305
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
307
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
308
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
309
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
310
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
312
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
313
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
314
present. (Robert Collins)
316
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
317
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
318
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
319
API. (Robert Collins)
321
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
322
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
325
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
326
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
328
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
329
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
330
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
331
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
332
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
333
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
335
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
336
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
337
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
339
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
340
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
341
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
342
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
345
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
348
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
349
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
350
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
351
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
352
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
353
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
354
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
356
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
357
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
358
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
359
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
361
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
362
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
363
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
364
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
365
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
366
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
368
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
369
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
370
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
372
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
373
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
381
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
382
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
383
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
384
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
385
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
386
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
387
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
388
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
393
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
394
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
395
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
398
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
399
======================
403
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
404
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
405
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
406
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
407
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
409
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
412
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
414
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
416
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
417
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
420
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
421
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
424
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
427
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
428
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
430
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
431
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
433
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
434
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
436
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
437
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
439
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
440
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
442
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
447
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
448
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
450
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
451
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
453
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
454
the repository (Robert Collins)
456
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
457
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
458
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
459
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
460
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
462
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
463
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
465
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
466
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
469
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
470
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
471
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
473
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
474
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
475
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
478
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
479
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
482
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
483
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
485
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
488
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
490
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
492
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
493
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
495
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
496
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
499
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
500
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
501
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
502
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
504
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
505
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
506
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
508
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
509
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
510
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
512
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
513
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
515
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
516
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
517
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
518
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
519
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
520
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
523
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
524
(Alexander Belchenko)
526
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
527
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
529
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
530
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
532
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
534
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
535
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
539
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
540
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
541
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
542
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
544
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
546
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
549
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
550
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
551
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
552
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
553
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
554
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
558
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
559
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
560
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
561
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
563
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
564
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
565
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
566
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
567
tests have been refactored too.
570
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
571
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
572
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
576
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
577
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
578
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
580
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
581
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
582
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
583
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
584
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
585
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
586
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
588
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
589
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
590
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
591
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
594
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
595
functionality for testing.
597
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
599
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
600
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
602
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
604
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
607
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
608
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
610
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
611
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
612
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
614
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
617
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
618
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
620
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
621
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
622
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
623
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
625
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
626
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
628
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
629
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
630
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
632
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
635
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
636
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
637
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
638
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
639
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
640
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
642
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
643
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
644
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
645
many files. (Robert Collins)
647
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
648
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
649
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
650
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
654
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
655
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
656
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
658
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
659
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
661
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
662
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
663
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
671
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
674
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
675
=======================
679
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
680
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
682
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
683
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
684
(James Westby, #122656)
686
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
687
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
689
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
690
authentication header.
691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
693
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
695
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
696
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
698
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
700
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
701
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
703
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
704
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
707
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
708
individually and as part of revision ranges.
711
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
712
(Martin Pool, #109169)
714
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
715
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
717
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
718
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
720
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
722
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
726
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
727
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
728
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
729
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
730
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
731
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
733
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
734
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
735
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
737
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
740
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
741
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
743
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
744
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
746
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
747
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
749
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
750
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
751
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
752
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
753
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
755
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
756
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
758
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
759
can be slow it is useful feedback).
760
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
762
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
763
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
765
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
767
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
768
output. (Aaron Bentley)
770
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
771
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
774
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
777
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
778
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
780
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
781
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
783
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
784
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
786
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
788
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
789
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
791
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
797
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
798
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
799
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
800
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
801
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
802
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
803
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
804
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
805
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
806
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
807
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
808
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
809
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
810
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
811
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
812
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
813
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
816
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
818
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
819
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
820
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
822
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
823
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
825
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
826
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
828
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
830
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
831
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
832
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
833
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
834
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
835
same location. (Robert Collins)
839
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
841
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
843
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
845
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
848
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
851
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
852
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
853
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
855
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
857
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
858
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
859
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
861
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
862
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
864
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
865
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
866
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
868
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
869
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
870
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
872
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
873
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
874
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
876
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
877
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
880
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
881
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
883
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
884
(Alexander Belchenko)
888
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
889
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
890
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
891
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
893
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
894
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
895
testing. (Robert Collins)
897
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
898
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
900
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
901
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
902
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
903
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
904
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
905
attribute during the test parameterisation in
906
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
908
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
909
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
910
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
911
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
913
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
914
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
916
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
917
avoid useless cloning.
918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
926
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
927
(Colin Watson, #120647)
929
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
930
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
933
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
934
=======================
936
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
938
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
939
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
940
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
941
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
942
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
943
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
944
and unlock() like so::
946
work_tree.lock_read()
948
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
953
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
954
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
956
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
957
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
958
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
960
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
961
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
962
too. (Robert Collins)
966
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
967
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
970
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
973
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
974
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
976
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
977
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
978
understanding what changes have occurred
979
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
981
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
982
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
983
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
985
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
986
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
987
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
988
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
990
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
995
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
996
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
997
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
998
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
999
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1001
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1002
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1003
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1005
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1008
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1012
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1013
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1015
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1016
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1018
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1019
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1021
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1022
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1024
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1025
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1027
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1028
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1029
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1032
====================
1036
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1037
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1038
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1039
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1040
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1042
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1043
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1044
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1046
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1047
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1051
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1052
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1053
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1055
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1056
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1057
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1058
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1060
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1061
=======================
1065
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1066
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1067
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1068
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1070
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1071
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1072
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1074
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1075
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1077
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1078
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1080
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1081
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1083
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1084
=======================
1086
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1088
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1089
it could be recovered again.
1090
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1091
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1092
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1094
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1096
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1097
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1101
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1102
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1104
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1105
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1106
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1107
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1109
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1110
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1112
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1113
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1114
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1116
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1117
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1118
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1120
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1121
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1122
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1124
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1125
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1128
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1131
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1132
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1133
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1134
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1136
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1139
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1140
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1141
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1144
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1145
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1147
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1148
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1150
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1151
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1152
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1153
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1156
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1157
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1159
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1160
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1162
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1163
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1164
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1166
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1167
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1168
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1170
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1171
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1172
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1174
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1175
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1176
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1177
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1179
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1180
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1181
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1182
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1184
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1185
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1186
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1187
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1188
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1189
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1190
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1191
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1197
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1198
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1200
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1201
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1202
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1203
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1204
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1206
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1207
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1209
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1210
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1212
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1213
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1215
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1216
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1218
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1219
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1220
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1223
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1224
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1225
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1226
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1227
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1230
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1231
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1232
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1234
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1235
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1238
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1239
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1240
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1243
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1244
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1245
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1246
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1247
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1249
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1250
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1251
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1252
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1254
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1255
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1257
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1258
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1259
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1260
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1261
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1262
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1264
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1265
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1267
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1268
help. (Robert Collins)
1270
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1271
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1273
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1274
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1275
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1276
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1277
(John Arbash Meinel)
1279
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1280
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1281
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1282
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1283
useful. (Robert Collins)
1285
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1290
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1291
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1293
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1294
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1296
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1297
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1298
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1300
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1303
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1304
the file, and does it faster.
1305
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1307
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1308
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1309
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1311
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1312
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1313
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1314
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1316
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1317
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1318
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1319
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1321
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1322
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1324
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1325
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1326
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1327
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1330
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1332
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1333
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1335
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1336
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1338
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1339
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1340
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1341
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1345
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1346
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1350
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1351
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1352
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1354
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1355
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1357
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1358
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1359
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1360
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1361
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1362
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1363
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1364
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1366
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1367
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1368
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1370
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1371
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1372
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1373
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1374
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1376
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1378
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1379
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1380
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1382
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1383
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1391
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1394
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1395
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1398
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1399
=======================
1403
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1404
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1409
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1410
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1411
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1412
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1413
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1414
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1415
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1416
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1421
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1422
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1423
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1425
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1426
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1429
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1430
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1431
(John Arbash Meinel)
1433
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1434
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1435
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1436
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1437
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1441
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1444
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1445
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1447
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1448
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1450
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1451
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1452
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1454
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1455
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1457
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1458
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1459
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1460
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1461
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1463
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1464
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1465
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1467
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1470
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1471
=======================
1473
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1475
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1476
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1477
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1481
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1482
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1484
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1485
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1487
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1489
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1490
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1492
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1493
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1497
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1502
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1503
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1504
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1505
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1507
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1508
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1510
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1511
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1513
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1516
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1517
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1520
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1521
=======================
1525
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1526
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1527
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1528
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1529
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1530
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1532
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1533
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1534
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1535
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1536
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1537
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1539
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1541
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1542
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1543
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1544
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1545
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1546
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1547
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1548
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1552
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1553
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1555
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1556
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1557
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1558
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1560
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1561
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1562
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1563
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1564
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1566
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1569
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1572
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1575
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1576
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1579
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1582
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1583
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1585
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1586
directory. (Martin Pool)
1588
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1589
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1590
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1591
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1593
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1594
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1595
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1596
in docs/configuration.txt.
1598
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1599
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1602
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1603
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1604
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1605
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1606
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1607
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1609
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1610
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1612
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1613
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1615
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1620
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1621
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1622
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1623
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1624
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1625
(John Arbash Meinel)
1627
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1628
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1631
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1632
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1633
(John Arbash Meinel)
1635
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1636
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1637
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1638
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1639
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1640
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1642
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1643
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1644
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1646
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1647
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1648
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1649
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1651
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1653
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1654
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1655
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1656
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1658
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1659
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1660
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1661
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1663
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1664
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1665
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1667
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1668
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1669
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1671
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1672
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1673
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1674
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1676
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1677
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1678
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1680
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1681
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1682
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1684
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1685
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1686
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1687
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1688
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1689
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1690
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1691
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1692
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1693
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1694
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1698
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1699
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1700
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1702
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1705
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1706
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1707
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1708
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1710
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1711
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1714
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1715
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1717
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1719
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1720
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1721
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1723
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1724
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1726
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1727
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1729
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1732
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1733
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1735
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1737
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1738
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1742
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1743
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1747
====================
1751
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1755
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1756
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1757
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1759
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1760
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1761
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1764
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1765
=======================
1769
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1770
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1771
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1772
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1774
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1777
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1778
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1779
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1781
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1782
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1784
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1787
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1788
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1789
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1790
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1791
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1792
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1794
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1795
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1796
should enable you to do::
1798
[/home/user/project]
1799
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1800
push_location:policy = appendpath
1802
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1803
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1806
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1807
for each file. For example::
1809
$ bzr status --short
1815
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1816
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1818
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1820
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1821
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1823
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1827
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1828
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1829
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1830
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1832
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1833
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1834
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1836
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1838
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1839
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1840
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1841
(Alexander Belchenko)
1843
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1846
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1847
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1849
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1853
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1854
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1856
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1857
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1858
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1859
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1860
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1862
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1863
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1865
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1866
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1868
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1870
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1872
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1873
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1874
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1875
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1876
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1878
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1879
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1880
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1881
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1883
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1884
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1886
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1887
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1889
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1890
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1892
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1893
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

====================
1899
No changes from 0.13rc1
1901
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1902
=======================
1906
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1908
(Daniel Silverstone)
1910
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1911
operations are substantially faster.
1912
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1914
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1915
tree from some other url. For example:
1916
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1917
(Daniel Silverstone)
1919
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1920
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1921
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1922
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1924
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1927
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1928
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1929
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1930
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1931
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1932
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1936
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1937
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1940
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1941
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1942
(John Arbash Meinel)
1944
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1945
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1946
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1947
(John Arbash Meinel)
1949
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1950
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1952
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1953
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1955
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1956
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1961
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1962
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1963
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1965
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1966
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1967
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1968
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1970
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1972
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1973
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1975
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1976
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1977
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1980
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1981
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1982
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1984
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1985
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1986
them as full references rather than integers.
1987
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1989
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1990
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1992
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1994
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1995
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1997
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1998
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2000
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2001
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2002
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2003
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2005
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2006
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2007
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2009
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2010
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2012
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2013
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2014
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2015
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2016
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2020
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2021
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2024
====================
2028
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2029
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2030
(John Arbash Meinel)
2032
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2033
=======================
2037
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2038
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2039
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2040
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2042
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2043
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2045
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2047
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2048
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2049
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2050
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2052
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2053
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2054
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2055
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2056
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2058
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2060
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2061
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2065
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2066
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2067
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2069
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2070
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2071
(John Arbash Meinel)
2073
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2074
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2075
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2077
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2078
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2081
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2082
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2083
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2085
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2086
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2087
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2088
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2089
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2090
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2092
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2093
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2094
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2097
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2098
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2102
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2103
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2104
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2107
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2108
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2110
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2111
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2112
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2114
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2115
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2117
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2118
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2119
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2120
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2122
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2123
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2125
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2126
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2127
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2129
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2130
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2132
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2134
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2135
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2140
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2141
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2142
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2143
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2145
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2146
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2147
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2150
====================
2152
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2154
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2155
=======================
2159
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2161
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2164
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2165
=======================
2169
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2170
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2171
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2172
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2173
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2174
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2175
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2177
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2178
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2179
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2181
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2183
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2184
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2186
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2187
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2188
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2191
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2192
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2193
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2194
(John Arbash Meinel)
2196
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2197
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2198
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2199
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2202
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2203
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2204
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2205
(John Arbash Meinel)
2209
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2210
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2212
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2214
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2215
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2216
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2218
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2219
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2221
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2222
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2224
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2227
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2228
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2230
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2232
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2233
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2235
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2236
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2238
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2239
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2241
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2242
(John Arbash Meinel)
2244
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2245
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2246
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2248
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2249
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2251
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2252
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2253
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2254
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2256
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2257
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2258
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2260
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2261
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2265
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2269
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2270
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2271
(John Arbash Meinel)
2273
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2274
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2275
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2276
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2278
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2281
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2282
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2283
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2285
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2286
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2288
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2289
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2290
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2292
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2293
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2294
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2295
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2296
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2297
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2298
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2299
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2300
caller to repeat their request.
2301
(John Arbash Meinel)
2303
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2304
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2306
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2307
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2309
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2310
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2311
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2312
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2313
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2314
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2315
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2317
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2318
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2319
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2320
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2321
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2322
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2323
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2324
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2327
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2328
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2329
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2331
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2332
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2334
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2335
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2337
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2338
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2342
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2343
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2345
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2346
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2347
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2349
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2350
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2351
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2354
====================
2357
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2358
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2360
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2361
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2362
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2363
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2364
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2366
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2367
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2368
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2370
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2371
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2373
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2374
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2375
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2379
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2381
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2382
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2383
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2385
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2387
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2389
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2390
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2391
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2392
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2394
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2395
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2396
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2397
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2398
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2400
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2401
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2403
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2404
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2406
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2407
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2409
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2410
in handling of revision properties.
2411
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2413
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2414
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2418
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2419
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2420
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2421
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2422
(John Arbash Meinel)
2424
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2425
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2426
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2428
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2429
=====================
2433
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2434
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2435
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2436
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2437
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2438
a more conservative list than the old default.
2439
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2440
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2441
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2442
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2444
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2445
to more locations than just branch locations.
2450
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2451
revno:N:branch. For example,
2452
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2453
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2455
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2456
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2457
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2458
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2459
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2460
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2461
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2462
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2465
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2466
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2467
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2470
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2471
(Alexander Belchenko)
2473
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2475
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2478
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2479
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2480
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2481
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2482
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2483
(John Arbash Meinel)
2485
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2486
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2487
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2488
grained analysis of performance.
2489
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2491
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2492
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2494
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2495
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2496
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2497
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2498
file. (Robert Collins).
2500
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2501
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2502
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2504
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2505
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2508
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2509
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2511
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2512
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2513
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2514
the same way you would apply another branch.
2515
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2517
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2518
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2520
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2523
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2526
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2527
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2528
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2530
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2531
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2532
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2534
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2535
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2537
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2538
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2539
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2540
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2541
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2543
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2544
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2546
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2547
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2548
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2549
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2550
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2551
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2552
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2553
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2555
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2556
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2557
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2561
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2563
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2565
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2566
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2568
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2569
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2571
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2572
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2574
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2576
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2577
(John Arbash Meinel)
2579
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2580
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2582
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2583
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2586
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2587
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2589
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2590
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2592
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2593
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2594
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2595
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2597
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2598
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2600
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2602
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2603
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2605
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2607
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2609
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2610
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2612
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2613
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2615
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2616
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2617
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2619
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2620
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2621
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2623
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2624
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2626
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2627
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2629
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2630
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2632
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2633
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2635
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2636
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2638
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2639
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2640
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2642
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2644
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2645
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2649
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2650
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2651
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2653
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2654
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2656
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2657
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2658
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2660
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2661
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2663
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2664
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2667
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2668
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2669
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2671
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2672
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2673
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2675
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2676
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2677
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2679
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2680
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2681
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2683
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2684
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2685
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2687
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2688
instead. (Robert Collins)
2690
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2692
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2693
=====================
2697
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2699
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2700
=====================
2704
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2705
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2707
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2708
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2710
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2711
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2712
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2716
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2718
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2719
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2721
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2725
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2726
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2727
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2728
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2732
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2733
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2734
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2738
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2739
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2740
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2744
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2745
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2750
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2752
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2753
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2754
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2755
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2756
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2757
will keep the same format.
2759
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2760
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2761
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2762
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2763
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2765
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2766
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2767
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2768
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2769
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2770
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2771
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2773
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2774
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2775
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2776
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2777
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2779
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2780
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2781
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2787
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2788
convention. Paths now take the form::
2790
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2792
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2794
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2795
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2797
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2798
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2799
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2801
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2802
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2803
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2804
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2806
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2807
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2808
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2810
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2812
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2814
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2815
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2818
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2819
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2822
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2824
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2825
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2826
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2829
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2831
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2833
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2836
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2837
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2839
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2840
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2843
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2844
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2847
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2849
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2851
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2852
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2854
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2855
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2856
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2857
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2858
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2859
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2861
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2863
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2864
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2867
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2868
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2870
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2871
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2873
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2875
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2876
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2877
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2878
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2879
specification by Martin Pool.
2880
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2882
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2885
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2886
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2888
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2889
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2890
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2892
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2894
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2895
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2900
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2901
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2903
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2905
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2907
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2910
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2911
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2912
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2913
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2917
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2918
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2919
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2920
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2922
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2923
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2924
tried. (Martin Pool)
2926
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2929
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2931
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2932
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2933
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2935
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2936
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2938
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2939
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2940
paths. (Robert Collins)
2942
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2943
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2944
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2946
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2947
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2948
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2950
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2951
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2952
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2954
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2957
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2960
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2962
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2964
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2965
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2966
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2969
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2970
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2972
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2973
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2974
check. (Robert Collins)
2976
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2977
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2981
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2982
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2984
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2985
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2986
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2987
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2989
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2990
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2991
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2992
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2993
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2995
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2996
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2997
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2999
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3001
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3002
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3009
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3010
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3012
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3013
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3014
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3017
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3018
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3020
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3021
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3022
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3023
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3024
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3026
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3027
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3028
used. (Robert Collins)
3030
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3031
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3034
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3035
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3036
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3038
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3041
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3042
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3046
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3047
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3049
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3051
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3053
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3054
tree. (Robert Collins)
3056
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3057
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3058
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3061
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3064
* Tweaks to short log printing
3066
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3069
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3070
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3072
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3073
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3075
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3076
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3078
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3079
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3080
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3082
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3083
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3085
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3086
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3089
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3090
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3092
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3093
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3095
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3096
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3098
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3101
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3102
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3104
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3105
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3107
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3108
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3109
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3113
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3115
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3117
* Error when run with -OO
3119
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3122
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3124
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3126
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3127
ignored by diff and status
3129
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3130
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3132
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3134
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3136
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3137
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3139
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3140
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3142
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3145
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3146
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3148
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3150
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3151
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3153
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3156
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3157
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3159
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3163
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3164
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3166
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3168
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3170
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3172
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3173
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3174
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3176
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3178
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3179
(John Arbash Meinel)
3181
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3183
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3184
If adding a new test script please add that to
3185
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3187
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3188
imported. (Martin Pool)
3190
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3191
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3192
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3193
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3194
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3197
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3198
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3199
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3201
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3202
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3203
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3205
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3206
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3207
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3208
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3209
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3212
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3213
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3218
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3219
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3221
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3222
function. (Robert Collins)
3224
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3225
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3226
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3228
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3229
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3232
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3233
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3234
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3235
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3236
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3237
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3238
version. (Robert Collins)
3240
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3241
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3243
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3244
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3245
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3246
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3247
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3248
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3250
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3253
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3263
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3265
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3267
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3270
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3271
query method. (Robert Collins)
3273
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3276
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3279
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3282
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3283
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3284
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3285
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3287
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3288
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3289
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3290
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3292
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3293
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3300
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3303
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3307
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3308
a separator, not ':'.
3311
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3312
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3313
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3315
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3316
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3319
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3320
has been added that suppresses all output.
3322
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3325
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3326
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3328
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3329
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3331
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3332
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3334
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3335
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3336
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3337
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3339
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3341
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3342
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3344
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3345
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3347
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3348
output directory, if one was supplied.
3350
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3351
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3352
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3353
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3355
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3357
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3358
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3360
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3361
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3362
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3364
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3365
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3367
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3370
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3372
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3376
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3377
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3378
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3380
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3381
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3382
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3384
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3385
is given. (Martin Pool)
3387
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3388
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3389
file. (Robert Collins)
3391
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3396
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3397
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3398
representation. (Martin Pool).
3400
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3401
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3402
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3404
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3407
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3408
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3411
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3412
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3413
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3414
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3415
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3417
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3418
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3419
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3420
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3421
python path. (Robert Collins)
3423
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3424
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3425
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3426
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3428
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3429
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3431
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3432
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3435
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3436
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3437
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3439
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3440
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3441
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3443
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3444
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3446
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3447
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3448
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3451
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3452
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3453
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3454
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3457
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3460
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3461
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3464
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3465
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3466
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3468
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3469
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3470
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3472
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3473
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3474
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3476
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3477
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3479
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3480
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3481
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3482
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3483
caller. (Robert Collins)
3485
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3486
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3489
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3490
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3493
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3495
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3496
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3500
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3501
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3503
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3504
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3507
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3508
====================
3512
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3513
allow directories to be listed.
3515
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3516
upgrading branch format.
3520
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3528
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3529
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3530
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3531
high-latency connections.
3535
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3538
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3539
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3541
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3542
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3543
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3544
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3546
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3547
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3549
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3550
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3552
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3553
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3554
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3556
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3557
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3558
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3561
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3562
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3564
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3565
different partial views of history.
3567
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3568
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3572
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3573
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3574
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3576
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3577
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3580
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3581
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3583
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3586
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3587
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3589
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3590
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3591
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3592
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3594
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3596
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3597
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3600
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3601
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3603
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3604
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3605
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3610
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3611
for your viewing pleasure.
3613
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3614
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3616
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3617
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3618
handling of such circumstances.
3620
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3621
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3622
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3624
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3626
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3627
we call them revisions not patches.
3629
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3630
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3632
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3633
giving the revision *of that file*.
3635
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3636
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3637
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3641
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3642
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3644
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3645
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3648
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3649
====================
3653
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3655
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3658
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3660
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3662
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3663
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3667
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3668
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3670
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3671
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3672
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3673
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3676
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3677
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3681
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3683
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3684
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3687
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3688
====================
3692
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3693
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3694
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3695
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3698
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3701
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3702
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3703
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3704
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3705
for the operating system is still tried.
3707
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3708
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3709
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3714
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3718
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3720
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3723
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3729
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3731
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3734
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3735
====================
3739
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3740
help with intelligent shell completion.
3742
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3747
* Much better merge support.
3749
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3750
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3756
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3757
mention revisions that are not present.
3759
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3761
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3763
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3764
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3769
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3771
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3772
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3778
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3779
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3784
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3785
====================
3789
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3790
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3792
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3794
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3795
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3797
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3800
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3802
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3805
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3806
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3808
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3809
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3810
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3815
* Faster working tree operations.
3820
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3821
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3822
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3823
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3825
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3826
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3827
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3828
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3829
standard plugins directory.
3831
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3832
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3833
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3834
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3836
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3837
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3839
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3842
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3843
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3844
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3846
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3847
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3849
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3850
line options must come before the command name because they
3851
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3852
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3855
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3857
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3858
is available with ``--short``.
3863
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3866
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3867
=====================
3871
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3872
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3874
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3875
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3876
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3877
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3879
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3880
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3881
with the ``--forward`` option.
3883
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3884
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3890
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3891
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3893
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3895
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3896
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3898
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3900
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3901
either read or write mode.
3903
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3905
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3908
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3910
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3911
suggested by LarstiQ.
3913
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3914
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3916
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3919
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3920
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3922
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3923
haven't changed since the previous time.
3925
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3926
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3928
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3930
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3932
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3933
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3935
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3936
options through to an external GNU diff.
3938
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3941
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3947
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3948
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3950
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3956
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3957
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3960
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3961
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3963
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3964
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3966
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3967
under a different version.
3969
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3974
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3976
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3977
Scott James Remnant.
3979
* Better help messages for many commands.
3981
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3982
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3984
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3985
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3987
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3989
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3991
* New AtomicFile class.
3993
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3998
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3999
2.4 is now only recommended.
4002
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4003
=====================
4007
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4008
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4010
* More default ignore patterns.
4012
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4013
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4015
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4017
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4020
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4025
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4026
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4027
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4028
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4029
there are DNS problems.
4031
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4036
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4038
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4040
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4041
trailing newlines properly.
4046
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4049
* More tests in test.sh.
4051
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4052
directory and delete it when done.
4054
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4059
