NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
13
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
14
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
15
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
16
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
17
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
18
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
19
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
20
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
21
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
22
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
23
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
24
(Robert Collins)
25
26
FEATURES:
27
28
* New ``reconfigure`` command (Aaron Bentley)
29
30
PERFORMANCE:
31
32
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
33
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
34
35
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
36
(Robert Collins)
37
38
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
39
the contents. (Robert Collins)
40
41
IMPROVEMENTS:
42
43
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
44
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
45
46
BUG FIXES:
47
48
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
49
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
50
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
51
52
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
53
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
54
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
55
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
56
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
57
58
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
59
will remain opened.
60
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
61
62
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
63
64
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
65
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
66
paramiko.
67
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
68
69
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
71
72
API BREAKS:
73
74
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
75
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
76
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
77
78
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
79
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
80
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
81
(Robert Collins)
82
83
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
84
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
85
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
86
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
87
(Robert Collins)
88
89
INTERNALS:
90
91
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
92
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
93
94
TESTING:
95
96
97
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
98
======================
99
100
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
101
in bzrlib/remote.py.
102
103
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
104
======================
105
106
CHANGES:
107
108
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
109
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
110
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
111
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
112
(Martin Pool)
113
114
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
115
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
116
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
117
(Ian Clatworthy)
118
119
FEATURES:
120
121
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
122
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
123
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
124
(Lukáš Lalinský)
125
126
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
127
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
128
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
129
130
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
131
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
132
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
133
134
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
135
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
136
137
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
138
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
139
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
140
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
141
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
142
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
143
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
144
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
145
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
146
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
147
148
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
149
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
150
151
BUG FIXES:
152
153
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
154
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
155
156
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
157
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
158
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
159
160
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
161
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
162
163
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
164
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
165
166
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
167
(Aaron Bentley)
168
169
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
170
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
171
172
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
173
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
174
175
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
176
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
177
178
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
179
(Blake Winton, #129299)
180
181
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
182
183
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
184
Watkins, #106726)
185
186
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
187
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
188
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
189
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
190
191
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
192
193
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
194
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
195
#133548)
196
197
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
198
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
199
200
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
201
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
202
#116143)
203
204
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
205
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
206
207
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
208
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
209
210
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
211
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
212
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
213
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
214
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
215
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
216
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
217
218
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
219
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
220
221
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
222
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
223
224
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
225
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
226
227
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
229
230
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
231
connections.
232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
233
234
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
235
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
236
237
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
238
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
239
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
240
241
IMPROVEMENTS:
242
243
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
244
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
245
246
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
247
(Aaron Bentley)
248
249
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
250
(Aaron Bentley)
251
252
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
253
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
254
255
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
256
257
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
258
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
259
260
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
261
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
262
263
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
264
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
265
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
266
space). (Robert Collins)
267
268
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
269
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
270
(Ian Clatworthy)
271
272
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
273
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
274
275
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
276
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
277
278
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
279
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
280
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
281
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
282
283
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
284
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
285
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
286
(Lukáš Lalinský)
287
288
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
289
(Ian Clatworthy)
290
291
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
292
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
293
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
294
295
API BREAKS:
296
297
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
298
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
299
300
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
301
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
302
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
303
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
304
affected. (Robert Collins)
305
306
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
307
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
308
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
309
(Robert Collins)
310
311
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
312
previous release. (Martin Pool)
313
314
TESTING:
315
316
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
317
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
318
319
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
320
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
321
322
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
323
previous release. (Martin Pool)
324
325
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
326
(Aaron Bentley)
327
328
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
329
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
330
331
INTERNALS:
332
333
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
334
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
335
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
336
its version information. (Robert Collins)
337
338
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
339
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
340
341
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
342
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
343
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
344
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
345
346
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
347
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
348
present. (Robert Collins)
349
350
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
351
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
352
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
353
API. (Robert Collins)
354
355
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
356
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
357
(Robert Collins)
358
359
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
360
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
361
362
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
363
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
364
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
365
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
366
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
367
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
368
369
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
370
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
371
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
372
373
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
374
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
375
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
376
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
377
protocol.
378
379
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
380
(Aaron Bentley)
381
382
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
383
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
384
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
385
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
386
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
387
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
388
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
389
390
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
391
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
392
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
393
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
394
395
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
396
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
397
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
398
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
399
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
400
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
401
402
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
403
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
404
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
405
406
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
407
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
408
409
410
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
411
===================
412
413
IMPROVEMENTS:
414
415
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
416
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
417
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
418
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
419
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
420
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
421
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
422
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
423
424
425
API CHANGES:
426
427
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
428
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
429
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
430
431
432
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
433
======================
434
435
BUGFIXES:
436
437
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
438
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
439
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
440
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
441
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
442
443
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
445
446
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
447
anymore.
448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
449
450
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
451
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
452
(Vincent Ladeuil)
453
454
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
455
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
456
#111664)
457
458
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
459
(Lukáš Lalinský)
460
461
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
462
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
463
464
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
465
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
466
467
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
468
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
469
470
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
471
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
472
473
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
474
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
475
476
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
477
(Aaron Bentley)
478
479
IMPROVEMENTS:
480
481
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
482
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
483
484
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
485
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
486
487
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
488
the repository (Robert Collins)
489
490
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
491
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
492
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
493
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
494
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
495
496
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
497
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
498
499
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
500
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
501
(John Arbash Meinel)
502
503
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
504
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
505
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
506
about 10%).
507
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
508
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
509
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
510
(John Arbash Meinel)
511
512
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
513
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
514
(Robert Collins)
515
516
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
517
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
518
519
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
520
(Ian Clatworthy)
521
522
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
523
524
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
525
526
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
527
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
528
529
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
530
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
531
Meinel)
532
533
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
534
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
535
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
536
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
537
538
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
539
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
540
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
541
542
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
543
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
544
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
545
546
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
547
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
548
549
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
550
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
551
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
552
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
553
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
554
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
555
(Ian Clatworthy)
556
557
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
558
(Alexander Belchenko)
559
560
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
561
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
562
563
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
564
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
565
566
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
567
568
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
569
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
570
571
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
572
573
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
574
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
575
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
576
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
577
578
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
579
580
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
581
(Robert Collins)
582
583
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
584
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
585
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
586
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
587
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
588
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
589
590
INTERNALS:
591
592
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
593
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
594
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
595
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
596
597
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
598
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
599
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
600
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
601
tests have been refactored too.
602
(Vincent Ladeuil)
603
604
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
605
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
606
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
607
list, it will.
608
(Vincent Ladeuil)
609
610
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
611
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
612
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
613
614
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
615
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
616
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
617
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
618
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
619
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
620
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
621
622
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
623
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
624
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
625
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
626
(John Arbash Meinel)
627
628
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
629
functionality for testing.
630
631
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
632
633
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
634
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
635
636
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
637
638
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
639
(Robert Collins)
640
641
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
642
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
643
644
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
645
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
646
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
647
648
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
649
(Aaron Bentley)
650
651
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
652
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
653
654
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
655
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
656
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
657
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
658
659
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
660
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
661
662
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
663
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
664
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
665
666
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
667
(Marius Kruger)
668
669
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
670
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
671
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
672
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
673
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
674
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
675
676
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
677
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
678
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
679
many files. (Robert Collins)
680
681
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
682
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
683
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
684
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
685
686
TESTING:
687
688
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
689
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
690
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
691
692
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
693
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
694
695
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
696
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
697
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
709
=======================
710
711
BUGFIXES:
712
713
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
714
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
715
716
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
717
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
718
(James Westby, #122656)
719
720
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
721
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
722
723
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
724
authentication header.
725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
726
727
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
728
729
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
730
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
731
732
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
733
734
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
736
737
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
738
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
739
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
740
741
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
742
individually and as part of revision ranges.
743
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
744
745
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
746
(Martin Pool, #109169)
747
748
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
750
751
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
752
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
753
754
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
755
756
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
757
758
IMPROVEMENTS:
759
760
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
761
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
762
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
763
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
764
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
765
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
766
767
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
768
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
769
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
770
771
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
772
(Elliot Murphy)
773
774
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
775
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
776
777
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
778
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
779
780
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
781
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
782
783
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
784
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
785
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
786
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
787
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
788
789
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
790
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
791
792
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
793
can be slow it is useful feedback).
794
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
795
796
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
797
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
798
799
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
800
801
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
802
output. (Aaron Bentley)
803
804
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
805
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
806
(Robert Collins)
807
808
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
809
(Martin Pool)
810
811
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
812
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
813
814
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
815
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
816
817
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
818
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
819
820
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
821
822
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
823
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
824
825
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
826
(Andrew Bennetts)
827
828
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
829
830
* Testing cleanups -
831
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
832
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
833
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
834
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
835
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
836
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
837
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
838
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
839
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
840
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
841
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
842
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
843
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
844
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
845
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
846
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
847
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
848
(Robert Collins)
849
850
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
851
852
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
853
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
854
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
855
856
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
857
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
858
859
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
860
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
861
862
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
863
864
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
865
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
866
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
867
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
868
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
869
same location. (Robert Collins)
870
871
INTERNALS:
872
873
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
874
875
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
876
877
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
878
879
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
880
(Martin Pool)
881
882
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
883
(Martin Pool)
884
885
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
886
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
887
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
888
889
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
890
891
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
892
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
893
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
894
895
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
896
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
897
898
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
899
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
900
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
901
902
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
903
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
904
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
905
906
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
907
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
908
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
909
910
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
911
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
912
Martin Pool)
913
914
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
915
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
916
917
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
918
(Alexander Belchenko)
919
920
TESTING:
921
922
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
923
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
924
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
925
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
926
927
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
928
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
929
testing. (Robert Collins)
930
931
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
932
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
933
934
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
935
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
936
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
937
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
938
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
939
attribute during the test parameterisation in
940
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
941
942
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
943
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
944
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
945
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
946
947
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
948
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
949
950
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
951
avoid useless cloning.

=======================
969
970
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
971
972
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
973
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
974
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
975
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
976
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
977
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
978
and unlock() like so::
979
980
work_tree.lock_read()
981
try:
982
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
983
finally:
984
work_tree.unlock()
985
986
INTERNALS:
987
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
988
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
989
object.
990
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
991
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
992
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
993
994
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
995
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
996
too. (Robert Collins)
997
998
IMPROVEMENTS:
999
1000
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1001
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1002
Aaron Bentley)
1003
1004
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1005
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1006
1007
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1008
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1009
1010
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1011
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1012
understanding what changes have occurred
1013
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1014
1015
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1016
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1017
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1018
1019
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1020
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1021
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1022
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1023
1024
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1025
#56322)
1026
1027
BUGFIXES:
1028
1029
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1030
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1031
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1032
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1033
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1034
1035
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1036
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1037
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1038
1039
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1041
1042
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1043
into account.
1044
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1045
1046
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1047
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1048
1049
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1050
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
1052
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1053
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1054
1055
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1056
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1057
1058
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1059
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1060
1061
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1062
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1063
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
1066
====================
1067
1068
BUGFIXES:
1069
1070
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1071
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1072
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1073
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1074
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1075
1076
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1077
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1078
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1079
1080
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1081
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1082
1083
IMPROVEMENTS:
1084
1085
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1086
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1087
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1088
1089
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1090
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1091
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1092
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1093
1094
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1095
=======================
1096
1097
BUGFIXES:
1098
1099
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1100
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1101
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1102
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1103
1104
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1105
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1106
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1107
1108
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1109
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1110
1111
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1112
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1113
1114
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1115
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1116
1117
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1118
=======================
1119
1120
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1121
1122
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1123
it could be recovered again.
1124
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1125
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1126
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1127
but not delete it.
1128
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1129
files.
1130
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1131
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1132
1133
IMPROVEMENTS:
1134
1135
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1136
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1137
1138
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1139
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1140
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1141
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1142
1143
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1144
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1145
1146
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1147
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1148
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1149
1150
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1151
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1152
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1153
1154
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1155
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1156
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1157
1158
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1159
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1160
Robert Collins)
1161
1162
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1163
Pool)
1164
1165
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1166
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1167
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1168
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1169
1170
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1171
(Robert Collins)
1172
1173
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1174
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1175
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1176
(Robert Collins)
1177
1178
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1179
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1180
1181
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1182
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1183
1184
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1185
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1186
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1187
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1188
(Robert Collins)
1189
1190
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1191
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1192
1193
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1194
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1195
1196
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1197
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1198
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1199
1200
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1201
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1202
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1203
1204
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1205
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1206
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1207
1208
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1209
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1210
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1211
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1212
1213
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1214
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1215
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1216
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1217
1218
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1219
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1220
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1221
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1222
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1223
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1224
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1225
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1226
header(s).
1227
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1228
1229
INTERNALS:
1230
1231
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1232
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1233
1234
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1235
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1236
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1237
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1238
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1239
1240
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1241
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1242
1243
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1244
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1245
1246
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1247
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1248
1249
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1250
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1251
1252
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1253
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1254
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1255
(Robert Collins).
1256
1257
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1258
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1259
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1260
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1261
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1262
(Robert Collins)
1263
1264
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1265
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1266
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1267
1268
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1269
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1270
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1271
1272
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1273
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1274
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1275
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1276
1277
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1278
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1279
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1280
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1281
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1282
1283
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1284
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1285
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1286
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1287
1288
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1289
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1290
1291
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1292
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1293
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1294
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1295
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1296
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1297
1298
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1299
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1300
1301
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1302
help. (Robert Collins)
1303
1304
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1305
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1306
1307
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1308
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1309
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1310
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1311
(John Arbash Meinel)
1312
1313
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1314
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1315
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1316
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1317
useful. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1320
(Andrew Bennetts)
1321
1322
BUGFIXES:
1323
1324
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1325
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1326
1327
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1328
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1329
1330
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1331
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1332
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1333
1334
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1335
(Aaron Bentley)
1336
1337
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1338
the file, and does it faster.
1339
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1340
1341
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1342
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1343
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1344
1345
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1346
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1347
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1348
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1349
1350
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1351
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1352
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1353
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1354
1355
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1356
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1357
1358
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1359
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1360
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1361
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1362
Arbash Meinel)
1363
1364
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1365
1366
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1367
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1368
1369
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1370
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1371
1372
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1373
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1374
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1375
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1376
security hole.
1377
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1378
1379
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1381
1382
TESTING:
1383
1384
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1385
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1386
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1387
1388
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1389
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1390
1391
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1392
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1393
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1394
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1395
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1396
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1397
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1398
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1399
1400
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1401
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1402
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1403
1404
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1405
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1406
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1407
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1408
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1409
access.
1410
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1411
1412
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1413
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1414
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1415
1416
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1417
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1426
(Aaron Bentley)

1433
=======================
1434
1435
CHANGES:
1436
1437
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1438
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1439
(Martin Pool)
1440
1441
IMPROVEMENTS:
1442
1443
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1444
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1445
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1446
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1447
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1448
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1449
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1450
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1451
path. (vila)
1452
1453
INTERNALS:
1454
1455
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1456
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1457
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1458
1459
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1460
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1461
(Martin Pool)
1462
1463
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1464
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1465
(John Arbash Meinel)
1466
1467
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1468
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1469
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1470
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1471
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1472
1473
BUGFIXES:
1474
1475
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1476
(vila, #92195)
1477
1478
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1479
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1480
1481
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1482
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1483
1484
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1485
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1486
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1487
1488
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1489
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1490
1491
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1492
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1493
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1494
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1495
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1496
1497
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1498
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1499
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1500
1501
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1505
=======================
1506
1507
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1508
1509
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1510
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1511
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1512
1513
IMPROVEMENTS:
1514
1515
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1516
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1517
1518
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1519
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1520
1521
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1522
1523
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1524
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1525
1526
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1527
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1528
1529
INTERNALS:
1530
1531
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1532
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1533
1534
BUGFIXES:
1535
1536
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1537
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1538
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1539
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1540
1541
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1542
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1543
1544
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1545
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1546
1547
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1548
(Marien Zwart)
1549
1550
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1551
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

1554
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1555
=======================
1556
1557
SURPRISES:
1558
1559
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1560
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1561
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1562
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1563
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1564
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1565
1566
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1567
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1568
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1569
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1570
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1571
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1572
development.
1573
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1574
1575
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1576
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1577
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1578
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1579
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1580
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1581
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1582
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1583
1584
IMPROVEMENTS:
1585
1586
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1587
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1588
1589
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1590
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1591
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1592
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1593
does exist.
1594
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1595
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1596
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1597
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1598
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1599
1600
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1601
(Aaron Bentley)
1602
1603
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1604
(Aaron Bentley)
1605
1606
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1607
(Robert Collins)
1608
1609
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1610
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1611
(Aaron Bentley)
1612
1613
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1614
(Aaron Bentley)
1615
1616
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1617
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1618
1619
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1620
directory. (Martin Pool)
1621
1622
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1623
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1624
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1625
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1626
1627
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1628
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1629
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1630
in docs/configuration.txt.
1631
1632
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1633
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1634
bind location.
1635
1636
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1637
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1638
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1639
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1640
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1641
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1642
1643
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1644
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1645
1646
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1647
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1648
1649
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1650
(Aaron Bentley)
1651
1652
INTERNALS:
1653
1654
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1655
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1656
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1657
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1658
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1659
(John Arbash Meinel)
1660
1661
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1662
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1663
(Aaron Bentley)
1664
1665
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1666
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1667
(John Arbash Meinel)
1668
1669
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1670
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1671
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1672
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1673
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1674
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1675
1676
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1677
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1678
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1679
1680
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1681
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1682
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1683
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1684
repository.
1685
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1686
1687
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1688
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1689
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1690
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1691
1692
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1693
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1694
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1695
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1696
1697
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1698
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1699
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1700
1701
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1702
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1703
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1704
1705
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1706
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1707
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1708
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1709
1710
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1711
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1712
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1713
1714
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1715
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1716
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1717
1718
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1719
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1720
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1721
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1722
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1723
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1724
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1725
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1726
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1727
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1728
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1729
1730
BUGFIXES:
1731
1732
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1733
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1734
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1735
1736
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1737
(Aaron Bentley)
1738
1739
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1740
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1741
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1742
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1743
1744
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1745
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1746
#83954).
1747
1748
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1749
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1750
1751
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1752
1753
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1754
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1755
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1756
1757
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1758
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1759
1760
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1761
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1762
1763
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1765
1766
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1767
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1768
1769
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1770
1771
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1772
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1773
1774
TESTING:
1775
1776
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1777
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

1783
IMPROVEMENTS:
1784
1785
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1786
1787
BUG FIXES:
1788
1789
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1790
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1791
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1792
1793
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1794
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1795
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1799
=======================
1800
1801
IMPROVEMENTS:
1802
1803
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1804
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1805
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1806
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1807
1808
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1809
(Marius Kruger)
1810
1811
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1812
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1813
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1814
1815
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1816
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1817
1818
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1819
(Aaron Bentley)
1820
1821
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1822
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1823
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1824
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1825
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1826
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1827
1828
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1829
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1830
should enable you to do::
1831
1832
[/home/user/project]
1833
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1834
push_location:policy = appendpath
1835
1836
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1837
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1838
(James Henstridge)
1839
1840
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1841
for each file. For example::
1842
1843
$ bzr status --short
1844
A foo
1845
A bar
1846
D baz
1847
? wooley
1848
1849
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1850
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1851
1852
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1853
1854
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1855
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1856
1857
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1858
1859
INTERNALS:
1860
1861
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1862
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1863
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1864
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1865
1866
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1867
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1868
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1869
1870
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1871
1872
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1873
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1874
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1875
(Alexander Belchenko)
1876
1877
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1878
Pool)
1879
1880
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1881
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1882
1883
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1884
1885
BUG FIXES:
1886
1887
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1888
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1889
1890
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1891
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1892
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1893
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1894
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1895
1896
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1897
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1898
1899
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1900
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1901
1902
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1903
matcher.
1904
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1905
1906
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1907
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1908
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1909
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1910
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1911
1912
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1913
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1914
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1915
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1916
1917
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1918
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1919
1920
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1921
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1922
1923
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1924
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1925
1926
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1939
1940
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1941
tree from a branch.
1942
(Daniel Silverstone)
1943
1944
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1945
operations are substantially faster.
1946
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1947
1948
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1949
tree from some other url. For example:
1950
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1951
(Daniel Silverstone)
1952
1953
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1954
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1955
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1956
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1957
1958
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1959
(Andrew Bennetts)
1960
1961
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1962
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1963
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1964
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1965
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1966
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1967
1968
INTERNALS:
1969
1970
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1971
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1972
(Martin Pool)
1973
1974
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1975
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1976
(John Arbash Meinel)
1977
1978
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1979
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1980
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1981
(John Arbash Meinel)
1982
1983
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1984
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1985
1986
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1987
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1988
1989
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1990
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1991
Bennetts)
1992
1993
BUG FIXES:
1994
1995
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1996
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1997
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1998
1999
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2000
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2001
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2002
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2003
2004
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2005
2006
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2007
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2008
2009
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2010
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2011
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2012
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2013
2014
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2015
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2016
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2017
2018
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2019
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2020
them as full references rather than integers.
2021
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2022
2023
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2024
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2025
2026
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2027
2028
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2029
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2030
2031
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2032
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2033
2034
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2035
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2036
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2037
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2038
2039
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2040
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2041
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2042
2043
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2044
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2045
2046
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2047
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2048
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2049
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2050
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2051
2052
TESTING:
2053
2054
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2055
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2058
====================
2059
2060
INTERNALS:
2061
2062
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

2066
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2067
=======================
2068
2069
IMPROVEMENTS:
2070
2071
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2072
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2073
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2074
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2075
2076
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2077
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2078
2079
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2080
2081
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2082
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2083
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2084
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2085
2086
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2087
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2088
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2089
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2090
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2091
2092
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2093
2094
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2095
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2096
2097
INTERNALS:
2098
2099
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2100
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2101
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2102
2103
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2104
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2105
(John Arbash Meinel)
2106
2107
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2108
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2109
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2110
2111
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2112
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2113
(Aaron Bentley)
2114
2115
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2116
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2117
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2118
2119
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2120
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2121
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2122
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2123
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2124
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2125
2126
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2127
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2128
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2129
(Robert Collins)
2130
2131
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2132
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2133
2134
BUG FIXES:
2135
2136
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2137
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2138
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2139
#63360, #66349)
2140
2141
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2142
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2143
2144
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2145
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2146
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2147
2148
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2149
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2150
2151
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2152
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2153
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2154
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2155
2156
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2157
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2158
2159
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2160
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2161
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2162
2163
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2164
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2165
2166
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2167
2168
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2169
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2170
#32054)
2171
2172
TESTING:
2173
2174
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2175
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2176
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2177
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2180
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2181
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2182
2183
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

BUG FIXES:
2192
2193
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2194
2195
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2196
Arbash Meinel).
2197
2198
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2199
=======================
2200
2201
IMPROVEMENTS:
2202
2203
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2204
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2205
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2206
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2207
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2208
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2209
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2210
2211
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2212
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2213
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2214
2215
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2216
2217
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2218
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2219
2220
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2221
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2222
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2223
(Robert Collins)
2224
2225
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2226
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2227
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2228
(John Arbash Meinel)
2229
2230
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2231
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2232
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2233
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2234
Pool)
2235
2236
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2237
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2238
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2239
(John Arbash Meinel)
2240
2241
BUG FIXES:
2242
2243
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2244
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2245
2246
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2247
2248
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2249
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2250
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2251
2252
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2253
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2254
2255
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2256
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2257
2258
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2260
2261
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2262
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2263
2264
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2265
2266
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2267
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2268
2269
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2270
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2271
2272
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2273
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2274
2275
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.

* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2279
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2280
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2281
2282
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2283
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2284
2285
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2286
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2287
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2288
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2289
2290
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2291
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2292
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2293
2294
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2295
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2296
2297
PORTABILITY:
2298
2299
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2300
2301
INTERNALS:
2302
2303
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2304
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2305
(John Arbash Meinel)
2306
2307
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2308
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2309
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2310
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2311
2312
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2313
(Andrew Bennetts)
2314
2315
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2316
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2317
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2318
2319
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2320
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2321
2322
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2323
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2324
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2325
2326
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2327
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2328
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2329
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2330
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2331
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2332
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2333
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2334
caller to repeat their request.
2335
(John Arbash Meinel)
2336
2337
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2338
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2339
2340
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2341
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2342
2343
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2344
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2345
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2346
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2347
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2348
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2349
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2350
2351
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2352
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2353
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2354
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2355
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2356
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2357
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2358
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2359
(Robert Collins)
2360
2361
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2362
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2363
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2364
2365
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2366
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2367
2368
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2369
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2370
2371
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2372
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2373
2374
TESTING:
2375
2376
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2377
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2378
2379
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2380
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2381
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2382
2383
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2384
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2385
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2386
2387
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2388
====================
2389
2390
IMPROVEMENTS:
2391
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2392
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2393
2394
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2395
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2396
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2397
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2398
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2399
2400
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2401
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2402
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2403
2404
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2405
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2406
2407
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2408
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2409
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2410
2411
BUG FIXES:
2412
2413
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2414
2415
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2416
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2417
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2418
2419
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2420
2421
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2422
2423
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2424
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2425
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2426
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2427
2428
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2429
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2430
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2431
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2432
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2433
2434
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2435
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2436
2437
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2438
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2439
2440
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2441
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2442
2443
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2444
in handling of revision properties.
2445
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2446
2447
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2448
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2449
2450
INTERNALS:
2451
2452
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2453
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2454
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2455
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2456
(John Arbash Meinel)
2457
2458
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2459
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2460
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2461
2462
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2463
=====================
2464
2465
SURPRISES:
2466
2467
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2468
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2469
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2470
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2471
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2472
a more conservative list than the old default.
2473
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2474
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2475
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2476
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2477
2478
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2479
to more locations than just branch locations.
2480
(Aaron Bentley)
2481
2482
IMPROVEMENTS:
2483
2484
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2485
revno:N:branch. For example,
2486
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2487
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2488
2489
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2490
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2491
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2492
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2493
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2494
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2495
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2496
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2497
#42517, #42514)
2498
2499
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2500
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2501
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2502
(Malone #3507)
2503
2504
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2505
(Alexander Belchenko)
2506
2507
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2508
2509
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2510
(Robert Collins).
2511
2512
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2513
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2514
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2515
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2516
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2517
(John Arbash Meinel)
2518
2519
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2520
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2521
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2522
grained analysis of performance.
2523
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2524
2525
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2526
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2527
2528
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2529
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2530
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2531
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2532
file. (Robert Collins).
2533
2534
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2535
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2536
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2537
2538
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2539
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2540
Matthieu Moy)
2541
2542
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2543
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2544
2545
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2546
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2547
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2548
the same way you would apply another branch.
2549
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2550
2551
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2552
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2553
2554
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2555
(Michael Ellerman)
2556
2557
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2558
(Aaron Bentley)
2559
2560
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2561
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2562
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2563
2564
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2565
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2566
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2567
2568
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2569
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2570
2571
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2572
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2573
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2574
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2575
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2576
2577
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2578
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2579
2580
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2581
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2582
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2583
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2584
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2585
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2586
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2587
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2588
2589
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2590
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2591
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2592
2593
BUG FIXES:
2594
2595
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2596
tests not to run.
2597
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2598
2599
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2600
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2601
2602
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2603
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2604
2605
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2606
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2607
2608
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2609
2610
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2611
(John Arbash Meinel)
2612
2613
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2614
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2615
2616
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2617
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2618
and y.
2619
2620
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2621
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2622
2623
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2624
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2625
2626
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2627
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2628
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2629
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2630
2631
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2632
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2633
2634
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2635
2636
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2637
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2638
2639
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2640
2641
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2642
2643
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2644
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2645
2646
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2647
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2648
2649
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2650
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2651
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2652
2653
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2654
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2655
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2656
2657
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2658
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2659
2660
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2661
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2662
2663
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2664
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2665
2666
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2667
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2668
2669
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2670
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2671
2672
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2673
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2674
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2675
2676
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2677
2678
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2679
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2680
2681
INTERNALS:
2682
2683
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2684
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2685
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2686
2687
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2688
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2689
2690
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2691
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2692
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2693
2694
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2695
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2696
2697
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2698
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.

2701
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2702
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2703
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2704
2705
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2706
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2707
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2708
2709
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2710
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2711
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2712
2713
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2714
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.

2717
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2718
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2719
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2720
2721
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2722
instead. (Robert Collins)
2723
2724
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2741
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2742
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2743
2744
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2745
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

2762
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2763
2764
NEW FEATURES:
2765
2766
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

2781
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2782
===================
2783
2784
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2785
2786
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2787
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2788
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2789
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2790
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2791
will keep the same format.
2792
2793
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2794
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2795
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2796
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2797
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2798
2799
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2800
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2801
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2802
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2803
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2804
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2805
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2806
2807
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2808
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2809
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2810
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2811
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2812
2813
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2814
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2815
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2816
arrangement.
2817
2818
2819
IMPROVEMENTS:
2820
2821
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2822
convention. Paths now take the form::
2823
2824
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2825
or
2826
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2827
2828
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2829
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2830
2831
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2832
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2833
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2834
2835
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2836
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2837
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2838
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2839
2840
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2841
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2842
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2843
2844
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2845
2846
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2847
2848
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2849
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2850
commits::
2851
2852
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2853
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2854
| xargs bzr re-sign
2855
2856
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2857
2858
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2859
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2860
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2861
(Robert Collins)
2862
2863
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2864
2865
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2866
2867
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2868
'.moved'.
2869
2870
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2871
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2872
2873
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2874
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2875
Daniel Silverstone)
2876
2877
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2878
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2879
Martin Pool)
2880
2881
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2882
2883
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2884
2885
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2886
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2887
2888
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2889
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2890
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2891
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2892
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2893
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2894
2895
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2896
2897
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2898
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2899
(Robert Collins)
2900
2901
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2902
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2903
2904
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2905
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2906
2907
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2908
2909
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2910
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2911
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2912
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2913
specification by Martin Pool.
2914
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2915
2916
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2917
Belchenko)
2918
2919
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2920
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2921
2922
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2923
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2924
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2925
2926
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2927
2928
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2929
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2930
(Robert Collins)
2931
2932
CHANGES:
2933
2934
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2935
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2936
2937
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2938
2939
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2940
2941
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2942
(Olaf Conradi)
2943
2944
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2945
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2946
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2947
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2948
2949
INTERNALS:
2950
2951
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2952
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2953
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2954
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2955
2956
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2957
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2958
tried. (Martin Pool)
2959
2960
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2961
(Martin Pool)
2962
2963
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2964
2965
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2966
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2967
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2968
2969
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2970
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2971
2972
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2973
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2974
paths. (Robert Collins)
2975
2976
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2977
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2978
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2979
2980
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2981
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2982
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2983
2984
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2985
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2986
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2987
2988
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2989
(Olaf Conradi)
2990
2991
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2992
(Olaf Conradi)
2993
2994
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2995
2996
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2997
2998
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2999
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3000
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3001
(Robert Collins)
3002
3003
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3004
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3005
3006
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3007
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3008
check. (Robert Collins)
3009
3010
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3011
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3012
3013
TESTING:
3014
3015
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3016
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3017
3018
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3019
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3020
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3021
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3022
3023
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3024
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3025
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3026
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3027
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3028
3029
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3030
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3031
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3032
3033
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3034
3035
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3036
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3039
==================
3040
3041
CHANGES:
3042
3043
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3044
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3045
3046
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3047
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3048
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3049
(Johan Rydberg)
3050
3051
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3052
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3053
3054
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3055
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3056
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3057
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3058
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3059
3060
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3061
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3062
used. (Robert Collins)
3063
3064
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3065
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3066
(James Henstridge)
3067
3068
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3069
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3070
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3071
3072
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3073
ignore list.
3074
3075
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3076
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3077
3078
IMPROVEMENTS:
3079
3080
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3081
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3082
3083
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3084
3085
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3086
3087
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3088
tree. (Robert Collins)
3089
3090
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3091
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3092
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3093
(Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3096
that they be kept.
3097
3098
* Tweaks to short log printing
3099
3100
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3101
(Aaron Bentley)
3102
3103
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3104
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3105
3106
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3107
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3108
3109
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3110
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3111
3112
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3113
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3114
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3115
3116
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3117
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3118
3119
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3120
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3121
requests.
3122
3123
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3124
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3125
3126
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3127
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3128
3129
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3130
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3131
3132
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3133
(Denys Duchier)
3134
3135
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3136
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3137
3138
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3139
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3140
3141
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3142
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3143
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3144
3145
BUG FIXES:
3146
3147
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3148
3149
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3150
3151
* Error when run with -OO
3152
3153
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3154
(Martin Pool)
3155
3156
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3157
3158
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3159
3160
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3161
ignored by diff and status
3162
3163
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3164
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3165
3166
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3167
3168
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3169
3170
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3171
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3172
3173
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3174
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3175
3176
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.

* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3180
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3181
3182
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3183
3184
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3185
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3186
3187
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3188
(Martin Pool)
3189
3190
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3191
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3192
3193
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3194
3195
TESTING:
3196
3197
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3198
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3199
3200
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3201
3202
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3203
3204
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3205
3206
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3207
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3208
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3209
3210
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3211
3212
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3213
(John Arbash Meinel)
3214
3215
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3216
3217
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3218
If adding a new test script please add that to
3219
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3220
3221
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3222
imported. (Martin Pool)
3223
3224
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3225
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3226
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3227
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3228
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3229
(Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3232
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3233
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3234
3235
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3236
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3237
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3238
3239
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3240
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3241
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3242
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3243
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3244
(Robert Collins).
3245
3246
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3247
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3248
(Robert Collins).
3249
3250
INTERNALS:
3251
3252
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3253
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3256
function. (Robert Collins)
3257
3258
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3259
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3260
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3261
3262
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3263
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3264
(Robert Collins)
3265
3266
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3267
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3268
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3269
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3270
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3271
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3272
version. (Robert Collins)
3273
3274
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3275
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3276
3277
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3278
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3279
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3280
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3281
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3282
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3283
3284
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3285
(Robert Collins)
3286
3287
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3288
3289
add()
3290
commit()
3291
move()
3292
rename_one()
3293
unknowns()
3294
3295
(Robert Collins)
3296
3297
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3298
3299
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3300
3301
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3302
Pool)
3303
3304
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3305
query method. (Robert Collins)
3306
3307
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3308
(Denys Duchier)
3309
3310
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3311
(Michael Ellerman)
3312
3313
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3314
(Michael Ellerman)
3315
3316
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3317
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3318
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3319
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3320
3321
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3322
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3323
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3324
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3325
3326
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3327
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

3330
==================
3331
3332
IMPROVEMENTS:
3333
3334
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3335
(John A Meinel)
3336
3337
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3338
conflicts.
3339
(Aaron Bentley)
3340
3341
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3342
a separator, not ':'.
3343
(Aaron Bentley)
3344
3345
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3346
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3347
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3348
3349
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3350
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3351
(Robert Collins)
3352
3353
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3354
has been added that suppresses all output.
3355
3356
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3357
Adams.
3358
3359
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3360
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3361
3362
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3363
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3364
3365
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3366
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3367
3368
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3369
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3370
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3371
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3372
3373
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3374
3375
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3376
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3377
3378
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3379
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3380
3381
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3382
output directory, if one was supplied.
3383
3384
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3385
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3386
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3387
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3388
3389
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3390
3391
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3392
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3393
3394
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3395
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3396
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3397
3398
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3399
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3400
3401
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3402
(Aaron Bentley)
3403
3404
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3405
3406
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3407
3408
TESTING:
3409
3410
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3411
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3412
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3413
3414
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3415
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3416
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3417
3418
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3419
is given. (Martin Pool)
3420
3421
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3422
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3423
file. (Robert Collins)
3424
3425
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3426
(Martin Pool)
3427
3428
INTERNALS:
3429
3430
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3431
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3432
representation. (Martin Pool).
3433
3434
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3435
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3436
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3437
3438
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3439
(Robert Collins)
3440
3441
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3442
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3443
Magnus Therning.
3444
3445
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3446
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3447
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3448
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3449
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3450
3451
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3452
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3453
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3454
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3455
python path. (Robert Collins)
3456
3457
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3458
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3459
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3460
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3461
3462
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3463
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3464
3465
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3466
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3467
(Robert Collins)
3468
3469
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3470
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3471
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3472
3473
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3474
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3475
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3476
3477
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3478
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3479
3480
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3481
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3482
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3483
(Robert Collins)
3484
3485
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3486
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3487
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3488
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3489
(Robert Collins)
3490
3491
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3492
(Robert Collins)
3493
3494
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3495
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3496
(Robert Collins)
3497
3498
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3499
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3500
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3501
3502
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3503
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3504
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3505
3506
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3507
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3508
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3509
3510
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3511
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3512
3513
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3514
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3515
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3516
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3517
caller. (Robert Collins)
3518
3519
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3520
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3521
(Robert Collins).
3522
3523
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3524
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3525
(Aaron Bentley)
3526
3527
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3528
3529
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3530
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3531
3532
BUG FIXES:
3533
3534
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3535
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3536
3537
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3538
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3539

3541
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3542
====================
3543
3544
BUG FIXES:
3545
3546
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3547
allow directories to be listed.
3548
3549
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3550
upgrading branch format.
3551
3552
PERFORMANCE:
3553
3554
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3555
3556
3557
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3558
==================
3559
3560
NOTES:
3561
3562
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3563
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3564
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3565
high-latency connections.
3566
3567
BUG FIXES:
3568
3569
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3570
Rob Weir.
3571
3572
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3573
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3574
3575
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3576
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3577
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3578
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3579
3580
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3581
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3582
3583
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3584
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3585
3586
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3587
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3588
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3589
3590
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3591
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3592
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3593
Robert Collins
3594
3595
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3596
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3597
3598
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3599
different partial views of history.
3600
3601
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3602
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3603
3604
IMPROVEMENTS:
3605
3606
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3607
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3608
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3609
3610
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3611
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3612
'bzr upgrade'.
3613
3614
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3615
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3616
3617
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3618
Niemeyer.
3619
3620
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3621
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3622
3623
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3624
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3625
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3626
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3627
3628
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3629
3630
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3631
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3632
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3633
3634
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3635
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3636
3637
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3638
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3639
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3640
3641
3642
INTERNALS:
3643
3644
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3645
for your viewing pleasure.
3646
3647
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3648
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3649
3650
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3651
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3652
handling of such circumstances.
3653
3654
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3655
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3656
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3657
3658
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3659
3660
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3661
we call them revisions not patches.
3662
3663
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3664
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3665
3666
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3667
giving the revision *of that file*.
3668
3669
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3670
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3671
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3672
3673
TESTING:
3674
3675
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3676
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3677
3678
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3679
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

3682
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3683
====================
3684
3685
BUG FIXES:
3686
3687
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3688
3689
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3690
(Robert Collins).
3691
3692
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3693
3694
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3695
3696
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3697
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3698
3699
IMPROVEMENTS:
3700
3701
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3702
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3703
3704
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3705
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3706
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3707
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3708
Robey Pointer
3709
3710
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3711
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3712
3713
INTERNALS:
3714
3715
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3716
3717
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3718
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3719
3720
3721
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3722
====================
3723
3724
IMPROVEMENTS:
3725
3726
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3727
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3728
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3729
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3730
Michael Ellerman.
3731
3732
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3733
(Nir Soffer)
3734
3735
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3736
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3737
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3738
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3739
for the operating system is still tried.
3740
3741
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3742
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3743
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3744
3745
3746
INTERNALS:
3747
3748
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3749
3750
BUG FIXES:
3751
3752
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3753
3754
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3755
branch.
3756
3757
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3758
read.
3759
3760
3761
PORTABILITY:
3762
3763
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3764
3765
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3766
3767
3768
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3769
====================
3770
3771
NEW FEATURES:
3772
3773
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3774
help with intelligent shell completion.
3775
3776
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3777
3778
3779
ENHANCEMENTS:
3780
3781
* Much better merge support.
3782
3783
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3784
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3785
like emacs smerge.
3786
3787
3788
BUG FIXES:
3789
3790
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3791
mention revisions that are not present.
3792
3793
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3794
3795
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3796
3797
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3798
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3799
3800
3801
CHANGES:
3802
3803
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3804
3805
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3806
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3807
--help themselves.
3808
3809
3810
LIBRARY:
3811
3812
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3813
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3814
libraries.
3815
3816
3817
3818
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3819
====================
3820
3821
NEW FEATURES:
3822
3823
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3824
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3825
3826
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3827
3828
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3829
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3830
3831
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3832
FOO.
3833
3834
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3835
3836
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3837
the Unix command.
3838
3839
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3840
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3841
3842
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3843
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3844
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3845
3846
3847
ENHANCEMENTS:
3848
3849
* Faster working tree operations.
3850
3851
3852
CHANGES:
3853
3854
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3855
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3856
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3857
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3858
3859
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3860
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3861
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3862
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3863
standard plugins directory.
3864
3865
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3866
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3867
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3868
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3869
3870
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3871
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3872
3873
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3874
disk.
3875
3876
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3877
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3878
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3879
3880
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3881
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3882
3883
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3884
line options must come before the command name because they
3885
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3886
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3887
it.
3888
3889
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3890
3891
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3892
is available with ``--short``.
3893
3894
3895
BUG FIXES:
3896
3897
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3898
3899
3900
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3901
=====================
3902
3903
CHANGES:
3904
3905
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3906
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3907
3908
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3909
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3910
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3911
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3912
3913
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3914
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3915
with the ``--forward`` option.
3916
3917
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3918
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3919
field.
3920
3921
3922
ENHANCEMENTS:
3923
3924
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3925
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3926
3927
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3928
3929
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3930
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3931
3932
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3933
3934
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3935
either read or write mode.
3936
3937
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3938
3939
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3940
affected that file.
3941
3942
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3943
3944
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3945
suggested by LarstiQ.
3946
3947
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3948
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3949
3950
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3951
a filename.
3952
3953
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3954
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3955
3956
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3957
haven't changed since the previous time.
3958
3959
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3960
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3961
3962
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3963
3964
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3965
3966
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3967
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3968
3969
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3970
options through to an external GNU diff.
3971
3972
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3973
their contents.
3974
3975
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3976
from a branch.
3977
3978
3979
BUG FIXES:
3980
3981
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3982
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3983
3984
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3985
metacharacters.
3986
3987
3988
TESTING:
3989
3990
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3991
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3992
the tests.
3993
3994
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3995
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3996
3997
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3998
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3999
4000
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4001
under a different version.
4002
4003
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4004
4005
4006
INTERNAL:
4007
4008
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4009
4010
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4011
Scott James Remnant.
4012
4013
* Better help messages for many commands.
4014
4015
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4016
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4017
4018
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4019
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4020
4021
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4022
4023
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4024
4025
* New AtomicFile class.
4026
4027
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4028
4029
4030
PORTABILITY:
4031
4032
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4033
2.4 is now only recommended.
4034
4035
4036
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4037
=====================
4038
4039
ENHANCEMENTS:
4040
4041
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4042
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4043
4044
* More default ignore patterns.
4045
4046
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4047
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4048
4049
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4050
4051
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4052
by Jason Diamon.
4053
4054
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4055
4056
4057
CHANGES:
4058
4059
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4060
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4061
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4062
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4063
there are DNS problems.
4064
4065
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4066
4067
4068
BUG FIXES:
4069
4070
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4071
4072
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4073
4074
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4075
trailing newlines properly.
4076
4077
4078
INTERNAL:
4079
4080
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4081
Matt Brubeck.
4082
4083
* More tests in test.sh.
4084
4085
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4086
directory and delete it when done.
4087
4088
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4089
4090
4091
PORTABILITY:
4092
4093
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4094
Bennetts.
4095
4096
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4097
from QuantumG.
4098
4099
4100
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4101
=====================
4102
4103
ENHANCEMENTS:
4104
4105
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4106
in the tree.
4107
4108
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4109
4110
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4111
and/or directory.
4112
4113
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4114
directory.
4115
4116
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4117
4118
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4119
4120
CHANGES:
4121
4122
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4123
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4124
will do for now.)
4125
4126
PORTABILITY:
4127
4128
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4129
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4130
Nielsen.
4131
4132
INTERNAL:
4133
4134
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4135
4136
TESTING:
4137
4138
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

4149
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4150
===================================
4151
4152
ENHANCEMENTS:
4153
4154
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4155
4156
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4157
rather than replacing it.
4158
4159
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4160
4161
* More help topics.
4162
4163
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4164
branch.
4165
4166
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4167
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4168
4169
* Performance improvements.
4170
4171
* New global --profile option.
4172
4173
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4174
the root directory only.
4175
4176
4177
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4178
=====================
4179
4180
ENHANCEMENTS:
4181
4182
* More information from info command.
4183
4184
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4185
4186
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4187
committing to stores.
4188
4189
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4190
4191
BUG FIXES:
4192
4193
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4194
4195
PORTABILITY:
4196
4197
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4198
installation easier.
4199
4200
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4201
supported).
4202
4203
4204
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
4205
========================
4206
4207
ENHANCEMENTS:
4208
4209
* First public release.
4210
4211
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
4212
diff, status, etc.
Loggerhead is a web-based interface for Breezy
